H.C. MacNair Shares Maxton News, April 21, 1924

Maxton News Letter. . . Paving Work Begun—Fish Fry at Carolina Lake—Wet Weather Has Thrown Planting Behind—Old Lumber Mill Resumes Operations and New Mill Goes Up

by H.C. MacNair

Maxton, April 18—Work on Maxton’s paving is begun with a rush. Soon our Streets will compare favorably with those of Charlotte, Raleigh or Greensboro. The Lassiter Co. is the contractor.

Mr. R.L. McLeod, lumber dealer of this place, is erecting a planning mill near Laurinburg to take care of the rough lumber from his many saw mills.

Liberty Post No. 117, American Legion, is giving a fish fry at Carolina lake Monday. They are catching their own fish and do it well and just as easy as catching a German, they say. Fish are plentiful and they are in a biting mood now-a-days.

Planting is backwards. At this time last year, perhaps, planting was over. Now but little is done and with the rainy wet conditions likely it will be three weeks behind last year. There will be a slight increase in cotton acreage and fertilizer about the same.

The Barber Paschel Lumber Co. has resumed operations, having rebuilt their boiler plant, which was destroyed some weeks ago and is now running full capacity, full time.
