DRAFTED North Carolina mullet. Mr.
Keith not only sells, but is the manu-
facturer of the famous Colley Meal
which is generally considered the very
pest and finest brand Of meal on the
American market, and is in much de
lhand. \ large quantity of this meal
y made from corn grown upon Mr.
keith plantation, about thirty miles
from Wilmington, which consists Of
7hree hundred and fifty acres under cul-
ovation, OF Il 200 acre tract, the finest
notion land, and upon which is raised
not less than ten thousand bushels of
corn per annum. Near this plantation
and situated upon a ! 100 acre tract of
land, owned by Mr. Keith, are his mills,
consisting Of two large griSt mills and
one saw mill. The power which runs
these mills is derived from a dam ON
the Colley Creek. which probably has
the most interesting history of any dam
IN this country. 1t was built before the
Revolutionary War by Enelshmen. Mr..
koith's grandfather at the age of six
teen, entered the Revolutionary War UNI
der the famous Marion in South CARROLL
ma and was at once appointed by him
his miller. The mills that Mr. Keith
now owns the Collie Mills, was head
quarters for the Tories for three months
and the father-in-law of Mr.. Keith's
grandfather was imprisoned there by the
Tories. who drew upon his vast herd of
stock to feed him as well as themselves
during the Revolutionary war. Thus it
is seen that Mr.. Keith is II descendant
Of one of the Oldest families in the Uni
ted States. Long before the Civil War
Mr. keith's father was resident Of
Wilmington and engaged in the naval
stores business. but in 1S45 moved back
TO his farm.
