INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of South- eastern Directories (publishers of the Rockingham City Directory since 1957), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1959 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.


Confidence in the growth of Rockingham's indus- try, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sec- tions of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Rockingham to the world.


The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Direc- tories in the estimation of the public, has been establish- ed by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, 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 community.


Five Major Departments


The five major departments are arranged in the following order :-


I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major department of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and pro- fessional concerns of the city and vicinity, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a cata- log of all the activities of the city and vicinity. Preced- ing this catalog, likewise grouped under appropriate headings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more com- plete list of their products or services than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent refer- ence advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or mar- kets for goods. In a progressive community like Rock- ingham, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buy- er and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.

ROCKINGHAM


(RICHMOND COUNTY) (Courtesy of Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Assn.)


The Town of Rockingham was named for the Mar- quis of Rockingham, Charles. Watson Wentworth, a strong friend of the Colonies, who was the Prime Minis- ter 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 brought 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 Moun- tains to Cross Creek (now Fayetteville). The land was bounded by Falling Creek on the south, and Hitchcock Creek on the north and west-a constricted area.


The first post office in Rockingham was established Feb. 28, 1829, with William G. Webb as postmaster- and the Town has had but 26 postmasters during these

INTRODUCTION


124 years-the present postmaster being John C. Ham- mond, and the office a first-class office with 1957 re- ceipts of $106,776.53.


Even back in the Revolutionary war days, the town was education-minded; for it had the Legislature to en- act 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 December, 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. Huneycutt (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 con- sists of John Entwistle, chairman; Leo Allen, Lonnie McCaskill, Worth Walker and James Pittman. Under Supt. J. E. Huneycutt, the Rockingham school was the second system in the entire state to get on the Accredit-

ed 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 Community Center, a 3-story 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 5,084 phones as of August, 1958, two fire trucks, an unlimited supply of clear, clean water fresh from the sandhills 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 57 years there have been but eleven Mayors of the town-the present Mayor being Thomas B. Hunter.


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 Dock- ery (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 exeremes. The mean sea-level at the Seaboard depot is 211 feet-average rainfall, 48 inches.


And not only is the county industrially active, but agriculturally as well. In 1926 the county produced 23,- 936 bales of cotton-the big cash crop. But diversifica- tion 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 Wilming- ton; 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 Railroad built mostly by the mills in 1911 to give 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 indus- trious 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. An 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 the suburbs is indistinguishable.


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 establish a County-seat; these men were Henry Wm. Harrington, John Donaldson, William Le- gate, 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 in- itiated debate in the British parliament calling for re- moval of troops from America.


The census of 1790 gave Richmond county 5,055

inhabitants-and in ten years this had been increased by 568. In 1860 the census was 11,009, jumping 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 "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 wise- ly administered with a property valuation of $33,500,- 000 and a 1950 tax rate of only $1.25 on the $100 valu- ation. As of 1958, the Chairman of the County Commis- sioners (5 members) is John Williamson. The Sheriff is Raymond Goodman-and he is the 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 Reg- ister since 1868. Not only has the County a woman Reg- ister of Deeds, but the County Auditor and Tax Super- visor is a woman-Miss Mary T. Covington.


Much could be written of the County but space for- bids. A county that is rich in history-Flora MacDon- ald'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 im- petu's in cultivating cotton-experimenting with it in Wolf Pit township, and developing it to the commercial stage-and thereby laying the foundation for the power- ful textile field enveloping Rockingham. The County was foremost in responding to 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. Gene- ral 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. Company, chartered in 1833, to build a cotton mill in Rockingham- the seventh cotton mill erected in the entire state. This mill was burned by Sherman's bum- mers 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 organized by Robert L. Steele, known as Pee Dee. Then in 1882 the Rober- del 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 developed a change in ownerships in most of these mills-the stockholders in some mills receiv- ing 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 payroll of $250,000! No wonder Richmond county is highly regarded as an in- dustrial center-and a good place in which to live-and with Rockingham as the HUB.


Before we conclude this hurried sketch of the coun- ty, it must be noted that Wake Forest College had its impetus here in Richmond county; for it was at Cart- ledge Creek Baptist Church that the Baptist State Con- vention Nov. 1-6, 1883, and at 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4, formally adopted the Resolution naming the Trustees for the new Institute (changed to College Dec. 28, 1838); it was at this meeting that the present great Baptist college had its birth.
