Serving The Communities of Carthage and Robbins 

Carthage Coming Of Age...Again 

There is a new fl urry of entrepreneurial 

activity currently taking place in 

the Towns of Carthage and Robbins. 

What is an entrepreneur? 

Someone who exercises initiative 

by organizing a venture to take 

benefi t of an opportunity and, 

as the decision maker, decides 

what, how, and how much of a 

good or service will be produced. 

Over the past 10 years, the tide 

has turned and the future success 

of “rural” is seen as closely tied 

to entrepreneurship. Small locally 

owned businesses that support 

a family and have one or fi ve or ten 

additional employees, the heart 

of rural communities through the 

ages, are again coming into vogue. 

A “Recipe For Progress” 

Over time, all communities experience 

changes that affect the industries, 

technologies, and land use patterns 

that help form the foundation of 

their local economies. Economically 

resilient towns, cities, and regions 

adapt to changing conditions and 

even reinvent their economic base. 

While most strategies involve some 

effort to recruit major employers, 

such as manufacturers or large 

retailers, many successful small 

towns and cities complement recruitment 

by emphasizing their 

existing assets and distinctive resources 

to the benefi t of local business 

owners and entrepreneurs. 

The Town of Carthage is now in the 

process of revitalization and attracting 

new businesses every month.

A Huge Success! 

McReynolds Street 

Business Enclave 

Carthage’s growing businesses refl ect 

the pride of a city and its townsfolk who 

want to preserve its esteemed history. 

Just off the circle on McReynolds 

Street is the old Tyson homestead. 

A building rich with Carthage’s 

buggy-building heritage that now 

boasts multiple shop owner’s intent 

on honoring the legacy associated 

with their hometown. 

As is well known, the Tyson & Kelly 

Company, (1856) and later the Tyson 

and Jones Buggy Company (1873) 

dominated manufacturing in Carthage 

from 1856 - 1929. A brief 

glance-back of the company reveals 

that Thomas B. Tyson I purchased 

the “wagon and buggy” business in 

1856 from Isaac Seawell and formed 

a partnership Continued On Page 3 

Thomas Robinson 

Carthage Town Manager 

In the summer of 2013 Thomas 

Robinson was hired to become 

“interim” town manager of Carthage 

to replace Carol Sparks 

whom was retiring. Thomas was 

hired as a part time Town Manager. 

Now, nearly fi ve years later, 

Mr. Robinson is still in the 

throes of town management.

McReynolds Street From Front Page 

with Alexander Kelly. In 1859, W. 

T. Jones became a partner, and in 

1873 Tyson and Jones bought out 

Alexander’s interest in the company. 

In 1893, Thomas B. Tyson suffered a 

heart attack while walking across the 

street from his home to his store. He 

died the next day and all businesses 

of Carthage shut their doors from 

that day of his death to the day of 

his funeral. The elder Tyson left his 

stock in the Buggy company to his 

namesake and grandson, Thomas 

B. Tyson II, bypassing his son Lucien. 

retired history teacher, Becky Saunders, 

“It is believed that Mr. Tyson 

went up there and watched the stars 

through his mounted telescope. 

There are even claims that many town 

residents witnessed Haley’s Comet 

from that vantage point in the Spring 

of 1910.” One can only imagine the 

excitement and fervor as townspeople 

gathered on the lawn of such a 

majestic home nestled in the heart of 

Carthage’s thriving business district. 

Housed now in that storefront are 

shops that respectfully honor Carthage’s 

vivid business brilliance. 

The shop owners have brought their 

own mercantile fl are to that area for 

reasons simply stated they wanted 

to remain in Carthage and give 

back to a town they know and love. 

In 1906, 2 wives (his fi rst wife 

passed) and six children later, Thomas 

B. Tyson II built his homestead on 

McReynolds Street. A magnifi cent 

two-story, white-pressed brick, colonial 

type house situated beside the 

old home of his Grandfather. With 

the Tyson and Buggy mural in clear 

view from the front, the expansive 

mansion is now tucked behind the 

storefront of the old Carthage Furniture 

Company on McReynolds Street. 

At the time, the Tyson mansion, 

with 20 rooms in all, was hailed 

to be the most ornate and palatial 

home between Raleigh and Fayetteville. 

The house was framed 

by stately deodar cedars with a 

curbed, meticulously landscaped 

walkway that extended from the 

square the entire block to Ray Street. 

Thomas B. Tyson II died at his home in 

1924. His widow remarried, and the 

children scattered to seek employment 

and ventures elsewhere. The 

magnifi cent home stood vacant until 

fi nally acquired by Charles T. Sinclair 

in 1938 who later added the store 

front home to his Carthage Furniture. 

The front porch of the old Tyson home 

graciously welcomes you as you walk 

through the now storefront’s main 

door and down the corridor. The original 

fl ooring of black and white strikes 

a regal entrance against the backdrop 

of its many large, white columns reaching 

to the second fl oor and the roof. 

The home is spanned by deep 

porches on all sides and on 

the very top and center of the 

roof is a railed-in observatory. 

According to Carthage resident and 

Visiting the shop, make certain to 

notice the quaint seating area in the 

back of the corridor as well as the 

way Ms. Miller elegantly blends her 

modern and contemporary home 

pieces to fi t with the historical architecture 

of the Tyson mansion. 

Denise Bennett, owner of Practical 

Posh since 2015, returned to Carthage 

after years of traveling with 

her husband and family. She knew 

she wanted to settle here, being a 

5 generation Carthage family. At 

the age of 13, Denise’s mother had 

her collecting depression era glass. 

“I was bitten by the collectors’ bug 

early,” she states. Antiques and collectibles, 

skillfully and artistically 

staged by Ms. Bennett’s expert eye, 

line the walls and fl oors of her shop. 

Browsing her store, one is fondly 

returned to America’s past, before 

the days of reproductions and 

copy- cat goods. History is revered 

– a passionate ideal for Ms. Bennett. 

Emily Miller, owner of Home Girls, 

worked in the upstairs portion of the 

old Tyson home until circumstances 

changed. “I wanted to remain in 

the building,” Ms. Miller states. “It 

hurt to see the rooms neglected.” 

She wanted to remain surrounded 

by history that her own family, 

(her maiden name is Tyson) was 

most likely somehow connected. 

Ms. Miller decidedly followed her 

passion for decorating and her 

desire to bring “something different” 

to Carthage. Home Girls 

opened their doors last May on 

the day of the Buggy Festival. 

Just down the storefront sidewalk 

is Lisa’s Boutique. Walking into the 

shop is akin to strolling amongst the 

gardens of the old Tyson lawn. Lisa 

Pidella, owner and decorator, frames 

her shop with greenery and fl owers 

that welcomes shoppers to stay 

awhile. Settle in. Try on the unique 

and trendy clothing hand selected by 

Ms. Pidella. “I help my customers 

out with fashion issues that most 

women struggle with. Maximizing 

their closet with what they already 

have,” says Ms. Pidella. Choose 

your outfi t selections from the boutique 

(or bring in a piece from home 

you want to match.) Then trust the 

pulling it all together to the creative 

and fashion genius of Ms. Pidella. 

After shopping at these three boutiques, 

it’s time to eat. As you step 

outside you will smell the aroma of 

the restaurant next door. Enjoy authentic 

Asian cuisine at Susas Hibachi 

Grill. Owner Ding Sengkheu 

Pong, prides herself in Asian plates, 

Chinese noodles, Tempura, fresh Sushi 

Bar and wonderful deserts all at 

affordable prices for lunch or dinner. 

North Carolina is a state abundant in 

tradition, loyalty and legacy. Carthage 

is no different. It is a town intent on 

preserving its roots while at the same 

time growing and welcoming new 

ideas in business like Susas Hibachi 

Grill to an eclectic array of shops 

around the circle. The annual buggy 

festival is right around the corner. 

But don’t wait until then to come out 

and explore all that Carthage has to 

offer!

Carthage Town Manager 

went to college at Georgia Tech. 

After graduate school he returned 

to Hickory, NC working for 

the Western Piedmont Council 

of Governments for seven years. 

Thomas decided to become a consultant 

and was asked to become 

a county manager and was the 

town manger in several counties 

retiring from Rockingham county. 

Thomas was retired, enjoying golf in 

2013 in Pinehurst when he saw that 

the town manager was retiring. He 

called the Mayor indicating he was a 

retired county manager and was hired 

immediately. He still enjoys working 

on his golf game, working for the town 

of Carthage on a part time basis. 

According to Mr. Robinson, “I really 

enjoy being the town manager”. 

Thomas Is responsible for the overall 

town management with all departments 

reporting to him. The town 

manager then reports to the Board 

of Commissioners. The town manager 

is responsible for developing 

the annual town budget and primarily 

to carry out the works programs. 

Moore County is developing the water 

park and gym at Hillcrest Park in 

Carthage. The town is in the process 

of developing and fi nishing the bike 

and pedestrian plan to provide trails 

and sidewalks throughout Carthage. 

This will also provide a large 

incentive for the redevelopment 

of the downtown district. 

The town of Carthage was also 

not in compliance with water standards 

when Thomas “came on 

board.” Since then the town has 

made major upgrades to the water 

plant and Carthage now enjoys 

some of the best water in the state. 

The sewer system is undergoing 

planning and upgrades due to the 

future residential subdivision developments 

on the horizon. Growth 

is being fueled by Fort Bragg as 

well as Southern Pines families. 

According to Thomas, “we are making 

sure that we pay attention to keeping 

our taxes and regulations reasonable, 

improve our infrastructure 

and have a plan in place to improve 

our appearance to make the future 

very attractive to future growth.“ 

The town has just recently upgraded 

the historical committee and 

purchased the last remaining building 

of the Tyson and Jones Buggy 

Factory on Rae Street which 

the town plans on rehabilitating. 

The town has stabilized the building 

and ideally they would like a private 

investment group to sdd retail 

anchor and develop the building. 

UNC graduates students completed 

a study on the building and to 

their surprise it is very feasible to 

develop the building. There is also 

a new Land Use Plan in the works. 

The new downtown redevelopment 

plan is going to begin this year. The 

town hired a national consulting fi rm 

Greenberg Development Services 

that developed a downtown renovation 

redevelopment plan. Hillary 

Greenberg, “Carthage is a vibrant, rural 

community of approximately 2,200 

persons with a strong sense of place, 

historic buildings and rich history. 

Overall, the community enjoys a high 

quality of life with good schools, varied 

recreational opportunities and 

low housing costs. While the town 

has made several investments in or 

near the downtown over the years to 

improve public infrastructure, private 

sector investment has not kept pace.” 

“The town is in play and fortunately 

is located in the “sweet spot” 

being within 2 hours driving time 

of Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, 

Fayetteville and Fort Bragg as 

well as near the destination area 

of Pinehurst” said Mr. Robinson. 

There have been several small businesses 

that have recently opened 

in the Carthage downtown area. 

“There is a lot to do here in Carthage 

and the future looks very bright.”

Carthage Revitalization 

The Town of Carthage seeks to engage 

residents, business owners, 

and other stakeholders to develop 

a vision for the community’s future. 

Stakeholder engagement helps 

ensure plans refl ect the community’s 

desires, needs, and goals 

and generates public support that 

can maintain momentum for implementing 

changes through election 

cycles and city staff turnover. 

Proposed Bike Paths 

Take advantage of outside funding. 

Even a small amount of outside 

funding applied strategically 

to support a community’s vision 

and plans can help increase local 

interest and commitment in the 

area and spur private investment. 

Create incentives for redevelopment, 

and encourage investment in the 

community. 

Make it easier for interested businesses 

and developers to invest in 

the community in ways that support 

the community’s long-term priorities. 

There are three kinds of entrepreneurs 

in rural communities. 

Potential entrepreneurs – People 

who have some entrepreneurial 

skills and motivations who are thinking 

about starting a business. This 

group also includes youth who have 

had some entrepreneurial training 

in school and after school programs. 

Redevelopment 

Business owner entrepreneurs – 

People who already have businesses 

and are looking for ways to grow 

and fi nd new opportunities. Business 

owners who are satisfi ed to 

pretty much continue to do what 

they’re doing are not entrepreneurs. 

Entrepreneurs – “The entrepreneurs 

in your community are those who are 

actively seeking new markets, developing 

new products or services, and 

exploring new ways of doing business. ” 

Gazelles – This business model is 

rare and valuable in rural areas. 

The Gazelle or serial entrepreneur 

is someone who starts new businesses, 

sells them to folks who just 

want to own and run a business and 

goes on to start another business. 

Historic downtowns like Carthage 

are also important assets 

that communities can use 

to help spur their economies. 

Downtowns help defi ne a community’s 

identity through distinctive, 

often historic architecture; 

shops and restaurants; and 

community gathering places. 

Maintaining the places and institutions 

that make a community special 

contributes to a sense of place and 

neighborhood identity, which help retain 

existing residents and could attract 

new residents and businesses. 

Downtown revitalization strategies 

vary but include reducing vacancies, 

providing incentives to fi x building 

façades, improving street scapes, 

and creating parks and green ways. 

“Preserving historic commercial areas 

makes a town attractive and 

creates a competitive advantage 

that sprawl development cannot.” 

The Future Of Carthage? 

We applaud the recent actions to begin 

the revitalization of the Carthage 

community by the town leaders and 

residents.

Robbins received a gross total of over 

$35,000 in donations and pledges as 

a result of their Community Development 

Fundraiser in Robbins on Saturday, 

March 10th at Elise Middle School. 

Over 130 people attended the 

event designed to build community 

and raise funds for community 

development projects in Robbins. 

Town Manager David Lambert 

explained that while Robbins 

continues to face very diffi 

cult economic challenges as a 

result of N.C.’s economic policies. 

Robbins is looking for ways to invest 

in itself. “As Robbins positions itself 

for an economic comeback, we 

have worked to change the hearts 

and minds of people in Robbins 

to accept that change is possible. 

Robbins Is Rising! 

Continued From Front Page 

We will no longer accept our current 

economic condition as fi nal. 

While Robbins faces many economic 

obstacles, this Board and 

this community will not settle for 

anything less than our best. Our 

struggles will dictate our strategy, 

but they will no longer defi ne us.” 

Lambert explained that in the last 

two years Robbins has seen six 

new businesses open up in Robbins 

and the Town anticipates three new 

businesses to open in the coming 

months. Town leaders have expanded 

the tax base and identifi ed key areas 

for improvement and investment. 

Lambert said one of the major 

tasks of the Town is “changing 

hearts and minds of our people to 

accept that change is possible.” 

Lambert said, “Despite economic 

hardships we encountered in the 

1990’s Robbins has a history of being 

a success. We will see success 

again and we will be the change we 

want to see. We must embody that 

change each and every single day.” 

Robbins is incredibly grateful to their 

donors in this project. Robbins received 

an anonymous Platinum-level 

donation and an additional Platinum 

sponsorship from Pine Funeral Homes.

“Let Food Be Thy Medicine, 

Medicine Be Thy Food” 

Hippocrates 

“Let food be thy medicine, medicine 

be thy food.” That age-old wisdom may 

be credited to Hippocrates, but Jor-l 

Campbell, Chef and Proprietor of JC’s 

Place in historic downtown Carthage, 

has taken it to heart and to his tables. 

“I was feeling miserable,” says Jor-l. 

“Diabetes, Gout, High Blood Pressure. 

Changing what I ate saved 

me. I ditched processed foods and 

started eating real food. I’m happier 

now than I have ever been.” 

Passionate about his new awareness 

of food as healing, Executive Chef Jor-l 

sought to pay it forward. He created 

a restaurant that serves wholesome 

meals, that refl ects his own health 

metamorphosis. It was the perfect 

way Jor-l could act on his gratitude. In 

August 2017 Jor-l opened JC’s Place. 

Jor-l has 30 years of experience in 

the restaurant business. Cooking 

is artistry and the meal is its canvas. 

Combining traditional, whole 

foods in bold, creative ways defi nes 

the dining experience at JC’s Place. 

The adventurous foodie may choose 

Mortadella Grilled Cheese with pesto, 

spicy tapenade and artichokes, 

while the more conventional patron 

may opt for the Steak Sandwich with 

caramelized onions and mushrooms. 

Both superbly fi nished with a slice 

of their house-made fresh fruit pie. 

Dining at JC’s Place goes beyond deliciousness. 

Jor-l supports his North 

Carolina farming neighbors as much 

as possible. Locally farm-raised 

chickens, beef, eggs, produce, craft 

beers from Southern Pines Brewery 

and breads from Carthage’s Aroma 

Bakery make up his shopping list. 

Jor-l spends hours at the fresh markets 

in Raleigh gathering ideas and ingredients 

to play with in his cooking studio 

– all prepared with the fervent intention 

of experiencing enjoyable meals 

closer to the farm than the factory. 

The locally-grown staff of three 

at JC’s Place have been with Jor-l 

since opening day. They simply 

wanted to be a part of the forward-thinking 

farm-to-table dining 

that Jor-l was bringing to Carthage. 

Amanda grows and grinds her 

own herbs that are blended and 

brewed for hot tea options. The 

teas are for sale at the restaurant. 

Jacob boasts that he has gotten in a 

lot better shape since working at JC’s 

Place. He has lost 20 pounds and has 

discovered a deeper appreciation for 

“you are what you eat.” Cory, cookin-training, 

aspires to be a Chef. He 

is learning from one of the best. Oh, 

and they all wash the pots and pans! 

Jor-l has a vision for JC’s Place. “I 

want to give the families of Carthage 

and surrounding areas a 

reason to venture out and enjoy 

all this town has to offer,” he says. 

Bring back the days of 

“Sweet Carthage.” 

A smoothie bar is under construction. 

An outdoor stage with a backyard 

BBQ feel is on the drawing 

board. This past Christmas, local 

high school kids have showcased 

their music there, something Jor-l 

plans to continue and expand. 

Great food with a purpose. Genuine 

service. Inspirational atmosphere. 

All reason enough 

to venture out to JC’s Place.

Civil War Meeting 

Did you know, according to the National 

Fire Protection Agency, that 

having a working smoke detector 

in your house will cut the risk 

of dying in a fi re by 50 percent? 

As we review reports from fi re and 

life safety inspections conducted 

by professional fi re protection engineers, 

there is one consistent theme: 

smoke alarms without batteries! 

Guest cabins, apartment buildings, 

dormitories, and single family homes 

all have the same issue, which means 

our visitors, employees, and partners 

may be sleeping in buildings that are 

not equipped to notify them of a fi re. 

Luckily, this problem can be fi xed 

immediately: Put a battery in your 

Maybe the alarm is too close to cooking 

smoke or shower steam, or maybe 

it’s dirty. All of these problems can 

be a nuisance by causing frequent 

false alarms. However, the solution is 

not removing the battery, but cleaning 

or relocating your smoke alarm. 

The National Fire Protection Association 

tells us we should change 

our smoke alarm batteries twice 

a year, so why not just time it with 

the changing of your clocks? T 

To prepare for time-change weekend, 

make sure you have enough batteries 

available for all of your smoke detectors, 

and remember, when you change 

your clock, change your batteries. 

Tonight, when you go home, 

take an inventory of how many 

smoke alarms are in your house. 

Make sure you have a fresh battery 

ready for every smoke alarm.

Sheriff Neil Godfrey 

Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce has 

purchased an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle 

(UAV) equipped with an eye-in-thesky 

camera for surveillance in a variety 

of law enforcement operations. 

According to Sheriff Godfrey, “The 

technological advancement is in concert 

with the Sheriff’s Offi ce mission 

by improving the ability to effi ciently 

and effectively enforce the law, protect 

lives and save valuable resources 

in time, personnel and money. 

“We are not going to be doing random 

surveillance of people,” Sheriff Godfrey 

said. “It will be a mission-specifi 

c tool to be brought for specific 

incidents.” Those uses include: 

search and rescue operations, crime 

scene photography, documenting 

natural or man-made disasters, active 

shooter incidents, searching 

for a suspect, Special Response 

Team call-outs, high-risk search 

warrants, hostage negotiations, 

drug interdiction, crowd monitoring 

and explosive-device inspection. 

The 

Sheriff’s 

“One of the main uses for the UAV 

will be for high-risk situations such as 

someone barricaded in a home. The 

UAV will allow us to get a bird’s-eye 

view and see more of what’s going 

on without having to put any offi cers 

in danger. The capability will also increase 

public safety for search and 

rescue operations. We will no longer 

have to lose valuable time waiting 

on helicopters to located missing 

personnel.” Sheriff Godfrey said. 

Two deputies are currently being 

trained to fl y and operate the UAV. 

Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce recently 

received a DJI Matrice 210 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The DJI 

Matrice 210 is the “fi rst-ever” dual-camera 

UAV for simultaneous thermal 

and standard color imagery. It 

has an upward-facing gimbal mount, 

weather resistant design, dual battery 

bays, thermal imaging and an 

extensive zoom. The new Moore 

County Sheriff’s Offi ce UAV with its 

capabilities makes it ideal for law 

enforcement search and rescue in locations 

that are diffi cult to approach. 

Corner 

The Matrice 210 can fl y for up to 35 

minutes and features an operation 

range of 4.4 miles. It has two controllers, 

one for the pilot and one for 

the observer to control the cameras. 

Local Missing Child 

Success Story 

On Thursday March 1, at approximately 

10:30 pm, Moore County 

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched 

to a residence off of Flowers Road in 

Jackson Springs, North Carolina reference 

a missing 11 year old female. 

Sheriff’s Deputies responded to 

the home and began their search. 

Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce Drone 

Pilot, Lieutenant Tim Davis, arrived 

at the residence with the Matrice 

210 Drone and immediately 

launched it to search for the child. 

Within fi fteen minutes, a heat signature 

was observed in the wooded 

area approximately 100 yards from 

the residence across the highway. 

Lieutenant Davis was able to use 

his radio to direct Deputies Sergeant 

Cameron and Deputies Oaks 

and Griffi n to that location. Deputies 

were able to locate the small 

sleeping child tucked away under 

some thick tree limbs and brush. 

“This is a perfect example of why 

we invested in this drone capability” 

said Sheriff Neil Godfrey. “The 

Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce is doing 

everything we can to ensure that 

we are using technology to benefi t 

the safety of our citizens as well as 

our deputies. Without the drone, 

we would have had to employ additional 

resources that historically 

would have included a helicopter. 

As a parent, I am happy for the 

child and the family that last 

night’s fl ight was a success and 

as the Sheriff, I am proud of Lieutenant 

Davis and our deputies.” 

Technology and law enforcement 

have always been uneasy friends. 

As a society, we generally want our 

cops to have all of the tools they 

need to keep the bad guys at bay. 

We just want them to use those tools 

responsibly and without sticking 

their beaks into ordinary, generally 

law-abiding citizens’ everyday life. 

Whether it’s using infrared heat sensors 

to detect marijuana grow houses, 

global positioning system(GPS) 

tracking devices to tail suspects or 

breathalysers to calculate how much 

a driver has had to drink, advances 

in technology usually mean new 

ways to make cops more effective. 

There are currently 347 U.S. agencies 

using drones as part of their 

of their approach in law enforcement. 

Some of these account for a 

staggering 518 percent increase in 

drone use in the past 24 months. 

The fact is, sending in a drone to investigate 

a scenario is far safer for 

law enforcement, and can provide far 

more informative data, faster, than 

sending in a squad of police offi cers. 

We are a customer-service-oriented 

organization and this UAV 

is another tool to help us to better 

accomplish our mission.”
