A new corporation known as
the Moncure Manufacturing
Company was last week incor-
porated, and the concern has
bought the undeveloped water
power at and above Lockville.
The idea is to put in a modern
dam across Deep river (which
two miles below unites with Haw
river to form the Cape Fear0 and
furnish electric power for Pitts
boro, Moncure and adjacent
points.
It is interesting to note that be-
fore the Civil War, the Cape
Fear river and Deep river were
made navigable af far as Lock
vile, by means Of locks and dams.
The promoters of the plan were
endeavoring to get by water to
the Cumnock coal mines, to ship
by boat the coal to Wilmington
and thence abroad. They had
gotten as far as Lockville when
the war came on, and the work
had to be suspended. And then
after the war conditions were so
chaotic that the plan had to be
abandoned. There can still be
seen at Lockville signs of the old
lock and canal, and the rotted re-
mains Of a small ship that had
come that far from Wilmington.
Cumnock is but twelve miles fur
Their up the river, and those
nervy men of before-the-war
almost realized their undertaking.
And now where this old naviga-
ton dam stood at Lockville, a
new and modern concrete dam
will soon be erected to furnish
electricity for neighboring points.

A singular fact about our
American politics is that no war
hero was named by either the

who told us about Germany's Gin

Pershing, who put the solar

But the people would have none
of these. Instead, they went to
