OPER IDENTIFICATION. Remember that lodge cards, Social Security cards, auto licenses, letters and the like can be forged and stolen. A forger's credentials are often forgeries themselves. Proper identification can best be determined by asking your- self this question: "IF THIS CHECK IS RETURNED, CAN I FIND THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT TO ME ?"
2. Always demand that the person cashing the check en- dorse it in your presence. Even though the check has been endorsed, insist that he endorse it again.
3. Do not cash checks that show any alteration of their face. Altered checks are usually forged checks.
4. If you are an employer and more than one employee of yours is empowered to cash checks, be sure that they initial every accepted check so that you can identify the person who cashed it.
5. You can safeguard your merchandise, your cash, and your profits from check forgers by following these simple rules every time you cash a check. Make these practices routine. Remember you lose if you cash a forged check.
If You Get Checks Cashed
1. BE SURE some member of the family is at home when checks are due to be delivered. Get the check as soon as it arrives.
2. PRINT your name clearly on your mail box. EQUIP your mail box with a lock if you have not done so.
3. CASH your checks in the same place each month. This will make identification easier.
4. DO NOT ENDORSE your check until you are in the presence of the person you will ask to cash it.

INTRODUCTION and GENERAL INDEX
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1957 edition of the Rockingham City Directory, which also includes Aleo Mills, Beaunit Mills, Cordova Mills, East Rockingham, Eastside Park, Glenwood, Hannah Pickett Mills, Honeytown, Jefferson Park, Knob Hill, Maplewood, Pee Dee Mills, Richmond Park, Roberdel Mills, Safie Mills, Watson Heights and West Rockingham and Rural Routes emanating from the Rockingham Post Office.
This is the first Hill Directory of Rockingham and is completely standardized according to the policies and prac- tices of the Association of North American Directory Pub- lishers.
Confidence in the growth of Rockingham's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Rockingham to the world.
The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by render- ing the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and resi- dents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Rockingham Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.
Five Major Departments
The five major departments are arranged in the fol- lowing order :-
811193
I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major de- partment of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional concerns of the city, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the city. Preceding this catalog, likewise grouped under ap- propriate headings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more complete list of their products or services than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Rockingham, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the com- mercial, industrial and professional world.
II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record

in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Rocking- ham and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation. A special feature of this section, is the showing of minor children.
III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUD- ING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major de- partment, printed on pink paper. In this section the num- bered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their re- spective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.
IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, is the fourth major department, printed on blue paper.
V. THE ROCKINGHAM RURAL ROUTES DIRECTORY, is the fifth major department, printed on white paper.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a manu- facturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Rockingham. There are more than 700 of these Directory Libraries, in- stalled and maintained in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada through the courtesy of members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which the Hill Directory Co. is a member.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recog- nition by those progressive business and professional inen who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Direc- tory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

ROCKINGHAM
(RICHMOND COUNTY)
By Isaac S. London, Editor Rockingham Post Dispatch
The Town of Rockingham was named for the Marquis of Rockingham, Charles Watson Wentworth, a strong friend of the Colonies, who was the Prime Minister in 1765; he was in bitter opposition to Lord North and the policy that lost America. He again became Prime Minister in 1782, dying that year at the age of 52.
While Richmond county was suggested as a new county by the General Assembly of Feb. 1, 1779, it was not until Oct. 23, 1779, that formal action was taken. And it was on April 19, 1784, that a county-seat was authorized, to be called Rockingham. And so April 19 may be considered as the Birth Date for our town. On April 1, 1785, the three duly appointed Commissioners-General H. W. Harrington, John Cole Sr., and Robert Webb-met and bought 18 acres from John James Sr for about $30, and 32 acres from John Cole for $50. This land was situated on the road that ran from the Mountains to Cross Creek (now Fayetteville). The land was bounded by Falling Creek on the south, and Hitch- cock Creek on the north and west-a constricted area.
The first postoffice in Rockingham was established Feb. 28, 1829, with William G. Webb as postmaster-and the Town has had but 25 postmasters during these 122 years- the present postmaster being John McCracken, and the of- fice a first-class office with 1955 receipts of $91,508.04.

INTRODUCTION
Even back in the Revolutionary war days, the town was education-minded; for it had the Legislature to enact in 1788 a bill creating the Richmond Academy.
In 1922 the Town erected the present elegant high school building, under the able superintendency of L. J. Bell, who was superintendent from 1906 to 1948. And in De- cember, 1936, the school district voted to tax itself 25c on the $100 valuation to supplement the salaries of the teachers to the end that a stronger faculty could be assured.
And in 1949 the town and county voted $1,750,000 in bonds for school facilities expansion-and built in 1951 a new model Negro building costing about $200,000 and with a faculty of 20 teachers and in 1955 a $1,665,000 school bond was issued. The schools are directed by J. E. Huney- cutt (1948) as superintendent, William Brown as principal of the high school, J. C. Mulkey for the grammar school and Miss Sena Dunn for Great Falls school-a white faculty of 54 (the principal of the large Negro school is an able Negro educator, J. M. Hodge). It is noteworthy of the fine spirit prevailing between the races here, and the determination of the School Board to give them adequate facilities. This School Board consists of John Entwistle, chairman; Leo Allen, Lonnie McCaskill, Worth Walker and James Pittman. Under Supt. Bell, the Rockingham school was the second system in the entire state to get on the Accredited List. And it has maintained its enviable educational record over the years.
There are three movie theatres in town, four civic clubs, two clubs for veterans, ample churches, a large Com- munity Center, a 3-store Federal building dedicated March 2, 1936, a magnificent courthouse erected in 1925, a fine 9-hole golf course at the Country Club five miles northeast of town, a dial phone system (installed Sept. 17, 1950), and with 4,230 phones as of August, 1955, two fire trucks, an unlimited supply of clear, clean water fresh from the sand-

hills to the east and northeast, all streets paved. And in fact, a town in which it is a pleasure to live- hospitable, friendly and living up to its slogan of "The Best Town at All."
In the past 55 years there have been but ten Mayors of the town-the present Mayor being W. H. Entwistle.
The Town headquarters for the County Draft Board, with Isaac London as chairman.
The County (and our Town) have had one citizen as Secretary of State-W. N. Everett (1923-1928); a Governor, Cameron Morrison, 1920-1924, and later U. S. Senator; and five Congressmen-Duncan McFarland (March 4, 1805 to March 3, 1807; General Alfred Dockery (twice) first in 1845 and elected again in 1851; Colonel Oliver Dockery March 4, 1867 to March 3, 1871; Colonel Walter L Steele Nov., 1876 to March, 1881; and finally C. B. Deane elected for this 8th District in 1946 until 1957.
In closing, it might be stated that the climate is un- surpassed-neither extremes. The mean sea-level at the Seaboard depot is 211 feet-average rainfall, .48 inches.
And not only is the county industrially active, but agri- culturally as well. In 1926 the county produced 23,936 bales

INTRODUCTION
of cotton-the big cash crop. But diversification by 1951 has reduced the cotton crop to 5,000 bales, and boosted the peach orchards to over one million trees.
Another matter of importance about Rockingham is that there are two strong banks, a large hotel and five motels, two newspapers, radio station, ice plant, bakery, tissue paper mill, concrete mix-in fact, just about any sort of industry desirable; but there is room for more.
The town and county are bisected with through paved highways-U. S. No. 1 from Kent, Maine, 2,423 miles to lower Florida; No. 74 from Ashville to Wilmington; No. 223 from Greensboro-Winston to Florida; and the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Ry runs through the town-New York to Atlanta; and the short 30-mile Rockingham Rail- road built mostly by the mills in 1911 to give a competitive freight outlet to the A. C. L. at Bennettsville.
And finally, Rockingham prides itself on being a really friendly, co-operative community-a people industrious who go on the theory of live and let live-and a people who have respect for the rights of others.
Yes, Rockingham will continue to live up to its motto of, "The Best Town at All."
The Town of Rockingham has the smallest area of any incorporated town in North Carolina. And the official 1950 census of 3,356 by no manner of means gives the remotest idea as to the town's business, its influence and its potentialities.
As a matter of fact, within a radius of 4 miles from the center of the town, the population is 15,000-the dividing line between corporate limits and suburbs is indistinguish- able.
Richmond County
Rockingham is the county-seat of Richmond county- a county with 483 square miles and 306,000 acres-the county ranks 38th in size out of the state's 100 counties. The 1950 census for the county is 39,597.
The General Assembly on Oct. 23, 1779, passed an Act authorizing the creation of a new county out of Anson- that portion lying east of the Pee Dee (Yadkin) river. Commissioners were named to lay out the new County, and

INTRODUCTION
establish a County-seat; these men were Henry Wm. Har- rington, John Donaldson, William Legate, John Coal (Cole), Robert Wells, Robert Thomas, Richard Pemberton.
The new county was named Richmond, in honor of Charles Lenox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, who in 1778 initiated debate in the British parliament calling for removal of troops from America.
The census of 1790 gave Richmond county 5,055 inhabit- ants-and in ten years this had been increased by 568. In 1860 the census was 11,009, pumping to 23,948 by 1890; but in 1899 a large slice (306 square miles) was cut from the county, and Scotland County created, so that when the 1900 census was taken, the much smaller county "shrunk" to 15,- 855. By 1920 the county had 25,567, and now in 1950 it is 39,597-and one of the most alert industrial counties in the state. The county is wisely administered with a property valuation of $33,500,000 and a 1950 tax rate of only $1.25 on the $100 valuation. As of 1956, the Chairman of the County Commissioners (5 members) is Palmer Nicholson. The Sheriff is Raymond Goodman- and he is 18th man to serve as Sheriff since 1868. The Clerk of Court now is Thomas L. Covington, and he is the ninth man to be Clerk since 1868. The Register of Deeds is a most capable woman -Mrs. Agnes Flake-and only 17 persons have been Register since 1868. Not only has the County a woman Register of Deeds, but the County Auditor and Tax Supervisor is a woman- Miss Mary T. Covington.
Much could be written of the County but space forbids. A county that is rich in history- Flora Macdonald's twins died in 1777 in the hills of the northern part of the county, she was born in 1722, died March 5, 1790-General Henry Wm. Harrington gave the South its impetus in cultivating cotton-experimenting with it in Wolf Pit township, and developing it to the commercial stage-and thereby laying the foundation for the powerful textile field enveloping Rockingham. The County was foremost in responding to

INTRODUCTION
the call in 1861 for troops to repel the Yankee invasion. The first Companies to go from the county were the Pee Dee Guards (and in 1930 the U. D. C. erected a monument on the Rockingham town square to the memory of our Confederate dead); other units to go were the Scotch Boys from what is now Laurinburg, and the Harrington Light Artillery. General Alfred Dockery had five sons who were officers, two of them Colonels-a record probably not equalled in the war. And it was this Alfred Dockery (1806-1881) who was one of the charter members of the Richmond Mfg. Com- pany, chartered in 1833, to build a cotton mill in Rocking- ham-the seventh cotton mill erected in the entire state. This mill was burned by Sherman's bummers in March, 1865, but was rebuilt in 1869 by Walter F. Leak and others and operated as Great Falls Mill until 1929. That mill was the forerunner of the textile empire that has meant so much for the county and town- the next mill was in 1874 organ- ized by Robert L. Steele, known as Pee Dee. Then in 1882 the Roberdel mill, in 1899 Pee Dee No. 2, in 1898 Steele's mill, 1902 Roberdel No. 2, 1910 Entwistle No. 1, Ledbetter yarn mill in 1883, Leak mill in 1923, Midway mill in 1881, the big Hannah Pickett No. 1 mill in 1908 with W. B. Cole as the directing force; and then in the 'forties there de- veloped a change in ownerships in most of these mills- the stockholders in some mills receiving as much as $3,600 a share for their stock! At the present time, the seven big mills have over 250,000 spindles and with a weekly pay- roll of $250,000! No wonder Richmond county is highly regarded as an industrial center-and a good place in which to live-and with Rockingham as the HUB.
Before we conclude this hurried sketch of the county, it must be noted that Wake Forest College had its impetus here in Richmond county; for it was at Cartledge Creek Baptist church that the Baptist State Convention Nov. 1-6, 1833, and at 4 p. m. Monday, Nov. 4, formally adopted the Resolution naming the Trustees for the new Institu (changed to College Dec. 28, 1838); it was at this meeting that the present great Baptist college had its birth.
