BY MRS. LORENA C. RAWLS
Star CORRESPONDENT

CURRIE, Aug. 10. - Recently I
made a tour down in lower Fender
County to Old Colly Mills, or the
remains of what. once was one
of the leading landmarks of this
section of Fender County. My trip
was just to see the dear old spots
and to drop a tear among its ruins.
For a few weeks ago Old Colly
Mills was reduced to ashes, and the
hard part to bear was the thought
that the carelessness of campers,
folks who just did not care, was
the reason for the fire that destroy
ed the landmark.
Near Still Bluff
Colly Mills, or the remains. is To-
Gated about two miles from Still
Bluff and close to old Bethlehem
church and cemetery. And not very
far from where Colly empties into
the Black river at Still Bluff.
The former Colly Mills was in
the plural numbers. 1t was former
ly owned by the Corbetts, later by
the Lambs and last by the Keiths,
who yet have ownerships. They
consisted of a saw mill and one of
the very best water ground grist
mill in counties around. Fifty
odd years ago a large basket fac
tory was erected and was owned
by B. F. Keith and others. 1t was
a large, rambling two story struc-
ture erected right over the I'll Of
Colly where the stream was wide
and water strong. The factory made
grape baskets of two sizes, two and
four quart, with separate lids ano
handles. They were manufactured
out of sweet gum wood close by the
mills. The factory employed prac
tically all the young boys and girl:
and many of the older women ant
men. Just a few months for schoo
and the young people were riga
back at their factory job, proud ant
grateful of the opportunity to max
a few dollars. For money was
scarce article in those days. SOM
the happiest days of my young day
were spent in that direction as
would spend a day with my child
hood chumb and see the work in full
swing from the first to the fms
of a basket. My greatest regret wa:

who Owns Supply?
Lawyers Uncover Deeds
To Bring Up Question

who sold or transferred it to him
Nothing of this nature was found
and, save for this deed to the form
er court house and jail site at Sup
ply, nothing is known regarding
when Supply became the county
seat or when the county govern
ment was transferred to Southport.
Fire Destroyed Records
A good many years ago the wood
en- court house at Southport was
destroyed by fire. Lost in the fire
was many of the records in exist
ence at the time. In fact, this
Book X with the deed of the sale of
inc court house and Jail site at
supply, seems to have been the only
book saved that preserves any
evidence that Supply was at one
time the county seat of Bruins
wick county.
Names General Ones
The names of both the seller and
buyer of the former court house
site are very general ones in Bruins
wick county. Richmond Galloway
who operates the oldest bsiness in
Supply is understood to be a great
great grandson of Cornelius Gallo
way. His store is situated on or
directly across Route 100 from the
former court house site.
Incidently it may be said that
MIR. Galloway now ownes all or
a part of the former court house
site. Lockwoods Folly township has
a great many Galloways, about all
of whom r believed to be des-
ceadents of Cornelius Galloway.
Although the family is less num-
arous, the name Rourk is hardly
'ess well known than that of Gallo
way in the Shallotte section. For
many years the late Judge Peter
Rourk of Supply and his brothers
operated a t%urpentine still on the
banks of the river. They inherited
the business from their father. The
Rourk still was undoubtedly on a
part of the original court hose
site.
U. L. Rourk of Leland, Chandler
Rourk of Shallottee, Chas. Rourk
Bolivia; Crawford, Southport, and
other Rourks in Brunswick county
are understood to be direct des-
cendents from Ulysss Rork.

But the factory only was in op-
Grafton for a few years. The bas-
kets we're mostly manufactured for
the shipping of grapes and the
grape industry had not been devel-
oped in a practical industry at that
time. But the old building remained
opened and the public helped them
selves to all the baskets free of
charge that they wanted. But l
never knew any one to take ex-

those baskets were so useful. They
will be missed by many.
Many Memories
Yes, old Colly Mills has many
memories that are both pleasant
and poignant to many people. not
only in the immediate locality but
for counties around. It was a cross
ing place from both sides for pc
destrians and when the water was
not high a horse and buggy could
be driven around the stream that
was held back by a long and high
dam. Folks from over Colly would
attend church and Sunday School

the mills. Later when the CoJly

Construction Boom
Large Building Program
At Tabor City

$500, 900 already have been COM
pleted or are now being construct
ed, Mr.. Cole pointed out today.
Rapid Growth
The executive secretary, who is
spending practically all Of his time
on the tobacco market as sales
supervisor, said he had been I'M
able to make an accurate survey
due to the pressure of other work,
but listed some of the units be-
ing constructed as evidence of
the rapid growth of Tabor City.
One of the major items in the
$500, 900 total is the W. F. Cox
building recently leased to B. A.
Garrell and now operating as Gar
rel's Warehouse No. 2.
Cold Storage Plant
Soon to be completed is the cold
storage plant near the Jessup-1n-
man undertaking establishment.
The final unit of the three-unit
structure being erected by G. L.
Dorman across from city hall
is nearing completion. One section
of this building will be occupied
by the Tabor City Tribune.
Two other large business build
ings will be finished soon. These
are the ]. w. Peay building which
will house the Prince Furniture
store and the B. A. Garrell build
ing which will be the home of
Garrell Motor company. Another
automobile sales home was re-
Gently completed and is now be-
ing occupied by the S & T Motor
company.
Stables Being Built
Construction of the stables for
the Wilson Mule company will be
finished in the near future. The
owner of this firm, N. M. Wilson.
has just finished modernization OF
the Modern Cafe, another new
establishment here.
In the preliminary stage are a
small business building by Mrs.
Letha Butler and a filling station
by Ottawell Watts.
Already occupied but not quite
finished is the Presbyterian Church
which will cost the congregation
as estimated $25, 900 when com-
p1eted.
Apartment Buildings
Among the apartment buildings
which have or will be finished
this year are those of j. c. Bell,
Jr., DR.. j. S. Smith and c. A.
Davis, Harry Prince, ]. M. Soles,
Albert Williams and William
Shelley.
Residences include four by Mr..
and Mrs. z. B. Lewis. W. A. c.
HARRISON, Grover Jacobs. J.. R.
Stalvey, Forest Fowler, A. H.
Wright, T. S. Angle. D. A. Stevens,
Carson Granger. Ralph 1nman.
and Ralph McCullock.
MI. Cole emphasized that this
list was indicative of real prog
ress toward alienation Of the
housing shortage and added that
construction now in the blueprint
stage probably would almost
double the figure.
