A.T. McCallum Plantation, 1918

M'Callum Plantation Near Red Springs Sold

Biggest Real Estate Transaction in Robeson County in Many Years - Purchase 
Price $100,000

Red Springs, Nov. 1 - One of the largest real estate deals ever consumated in 
this part of the state was closed a few days ago when A.T. McCallum sold his 
Wakulla plantation to W.A. and George T. Bullock, the consideration being 
$100,000. This is considered one of the most valuable plantations in Robeson 
County and has been the old McCallum homestead for a century or more. For the 
first time it passes from the family.

The situation is admirable being only 3 1/2 miles from Red Springs, convenient 
to the A.C.L. Railroad with good church and school facilities and surrounded 
by good roads.

The sale of this plantation does not eliminate Mr. McCallum in his farming 
interests for he still retains his valuable plantation one mile north of Red 
Springs, and also his Purvis farm near Rowland to which he will give his 
personal attention in the future. Mr. McCallum is a member of the state 
agricultural board and is prominent in the farming development of North 
Carolina.

The Messrs. Bullock are most successful and enterprising young farmers and are 
to be contratulated on securing the valuable possession to their already large 
holdings of real estate in this section.

Mr. Floyd, register of deeds, says that this deed required $100 of revenue 
stamps for registration.
