Where do all the lead pencils
come from, and whore do they go?
although almost everybody has one,
many folks never buy one, but even
so, more than $1,000, 900 are man
ufaGtured for use IN tho United
states every year, using up many
thousands OF cords of wood.
But, woods suitable for lead pen
ellis are becoming scarcer and mahy
manufacturers are turning to paper
exclusively. Red cedar and red ju-
nAper, says the American Forestry
Association, are the woods chiefly
used In making lead pencils. A hunt
is on for other kinds of wood that
will take the place Of these. In
East Africa a kind of cedar has been
found with which experiments are
being made. The production in the
United States is about $4,000 cases
of pencil Stats per year. From each
case 100 gross Of pencils is made.
This results in about one billion
pencils Of American-grown cedar
Since one-fourth Of this number is
sent to foreign countries, that leaves
750,000,000 pencils for the home
market, which means all average of
seven pencils per person, figuring on
the last census.
AS far back as history goes, man
has tried to make things to mark
with and to set down his thoughts.
The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had
crude marking devices. AS early as
1850 Kahn, q wedish naturalist,
made experiments with American ce-
dar. In 1912 William Monroe mado
800 pencils at Concord and sold
them in Boston, but The war stopped
his plans. In 1861 Dberhard Faber
began making pencils on largo
scale in this country.
The graphite which makes the
mark is, Of course, the important
part in the manufacture Of the pen
Gil. Ceylon has furnished much OF
the graphite used in this country.
Graphite is also found in Madagas-
car and in Mexico. Czecho-Slovak!a
contains deposits of both the am
phorous and crystalline graphite. In
the United States the chief deposits
are in Alabama, New York and in
Pennsylvania.

TO REBUILD TOxAWAY DAM.
VIII BE Sufficient strength to With
stand ANY Flood IN Future.
Greenwood Piedmont.) )

. y 4. .
Erection OF q concrete dam at
Lake Toxaway to replace the one
washed away in 1916 will be started
between March / and April /, ac-
cording to a representative of the
owners, who was here to-day, and
who visited the Chamber of Com
mence. Plans are now being COM
pleted for the project, and call for
a dam SO feet high, 200 feet long,
so feet thick at the base, ten feet
thick at the top, and to cost around
$150,000.
VIII Resist Floods.
The former dam was of dirt, and
it Is expected that the masonry used
in the new project will insure pro-
tection against any future washing
away of the land. The new dam will
be Of the same shape as the only one
in North Carolina to withstand the
floods Of 1916.
1T Will require about six months
to complete the project, but work
of filling the lake will start as soon
as small section Is completed, and
tits hoped to have the resort ready
for formal opening on July J.,
equal to the attractions offered at
the mountain and lake resort pre-
yious to the heavy floods. The Tox-
away dam withstood the main part
Of the floods, and gave way about 80
days after the other washOuts in
this section.
The highway from the Henderson
county line to the Jackson county
line will pass the resort, and it. Is
planned to have the highway cross
the Toxaway river on the top OF the
dam by building concrete bridge.
Develop Water Power.
Engineers interested In the resto-
ration Of Lake Toxaway are also
impressed with the undevelbped wa
ter power in that section, and claim
that the ultimate end of the restor-
Ing Of the lake will mean that the
water power will be utilized Pro-
vision Is being made in the new dam
for taking water out for power pur-
poses. 1t Is asserted that the total
generation from Toxaway and Horse
Pasture rivers, Indian and Bear
Wallow creeks will be approximate
ly 10000 horsepower "a fall of
1900 feet in a distance Of FIVE miles
will insure excellent generation, en-
gineers assert. ut Is declared that It
will require the expenditure of at
least $4,000,000 to develop the wa
ter power.
