  • Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

During the past quarter of a eentnry, The Champion Fib.re Compa.n~~ ha.. put h1 circulation three or four tin1e.s 1nore money perhaps than all the rest of the in­dustries on the .1\lurphy Division of the Southe1n Rail­way ~·est of Asheville . • Twenty-five years ago, when work wa.s started on the Champion Plant. Canton was only a little village with less than sevent y-five inhabitants, and was composed of two or three stnall country stores, a blacksnlith shop. and eight or ten dwelling houses. There ~·ere onlY two Ol"' th1·ee industrjes west of Asheville, on the • 1\lurphy Division of the Southern Railway. and these employed a ver:v slnall nun1ber of workmen, conse­quently fcuming and cattle-raising ' ¥ere tl1e only means of support for the people in the western part of this state. Today, due to The Champion Fibre Plant, Canton is the largest town in \restern north Carolina with the exception of Asheville. Truly, like the Par able of the "Mustard Seed•' recorded in the Bible, it has grown f1·om a small cross-roads village into a thriving btt si­ne s center. In the corporate limits of Canton there are one hundred and twenty stores, a:11d about ~]even hundred houses. The population ha.s gi'Ovvn fron1 a few dozen to more than five thousand~ and in the suburbs sun·ounding Canton there are perhaps two thou&'d!ld people, rnost of whom live on wages received from The Champion Fibre Compan~r. There a re about twelve and one-half miles of paved str eets "'·ithin the corpora t~ limits. About five hundred of our em}>loyees own their own home'->1 paid for vdth n1one.v 1·eceived in wages \rhile in the e;mploy of thr Company.

Dw·ing the past twent:4 -f1iv~ yea r~, The ()ba,rnpioo Fibre Company has paid out fot· labor the huge sum of $36,399,617.07 an average of about .. 1300.00 for every inhabitant, including women and children in IIaywood Oounty. The Con1pan.v bas 5pent fo1.· wOt:xt $29,299,841.06; for coal $12,489,977.59; and chemicals $9,174,643.85, a lat·ge part of wh.ich is labor cost. Other expenses $30,533,990.71, making a total of , 117.9:!7, 069.64. An average of nearly $:i,OOO CJnO.OO per year. During 1930 the expenditures nearly reached the ~ight million mark . With each succeeding year, the production of the plant has increased, requiring of cour ·e a greater amount of l'aw matet·iaJ, coal, l)Ower, etc., thua inereas­ing the cost of operation materially. During the opexation of The Chatnpion Fibre Com­pany in Western North Carolina, the Southern Rail"·ay has handled 18, 767, 648 tons of freight for the Coln­pany, besides thousands of tons of express. • Coal was shipped la:rgel:v frent Tennessee and Ken· tuc.ky.
