RAMSEUR.
In 1850 a factory was built at this place by Isaac H. Foust, Washington Brower, Henry Kivell, Dennis Curtis and Dan- iel Kime. They called it Columbia Factory. The town is situated on Deep river, a short distance below the mouth of Sandy creek; and since June 26, 1890, has been the terminus of the Factory Branch of the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad. In 1879 the property changed hands and is now owned and ope- rated by W. H. Watkins, A. W. E. Capel, T. L. Chisholm and J. S. Spencer. The population is estimated at 900. The Columbia Manufacturing Company, with a capital stock of $90,000 and a surplus of $85,000, is the leading enterprise of the town. The Alberta Chair Works, $25,000 capital, is next in magnitude. The town has also two good churches, one good hotel, one high school, under management of Prof. F. S. Blair, several large stores, a handsome depot, also a splendid bridge across Deep river. Ramseur is withal a model town for industry, push, pluck, high morals and christian living. Hardly any place in the State would seem to have a brighter future. Not far below Ramseur, on Deep

river, was the birthplace of Braxton Craven, D. D., LL. D. He was brought up largely by Nathan Cox, a Quaker of undoubted honesty. Dr. Craven lived to bean honor to the entire County, to the State and to the Nation. Many good and really great men have lived along up and down Deep river within the bounds of Randolph County. Of the towns that have sprung up along the river, perhaps none have a more hopeful future in prospect than Ramseur. The owners of the factories are all faithful workers in the church and benefactors to humanity.
RAMSEUR,

RANDOLPH COUNTY
RANDLEMAN
This is an incorporated town of 2,500 inhabitants, eight miles north of Asheboro. It is the largest manufacturing town in the county, and, in fact, has the largest population. Long ago Peter Dicks had a grist mill and an oil mill at this place, which was then called Dicks. In 1848 Jesse Walker, William Clark, Joseph Newlin, James Dicks and William Hinshaw erected a cotton mill here and called it Union Fac- tory. In 1866 John Randleman and John H. Ferree acquired control of the property and the name was changed to Ran- dleman. The Randleman Mills, including the Quinn Mill, are now owned and operated by John H. Ferree. Naomi Falls Factory (owned by a stock company), Powha- tan Plaid Mills and the Randleman Hosiery Mill (making six cotton mills) are all within the corporation, and Worth- ville Factory is only two miles down the river. In 1885 the Randleman Mill was burnt, but it was immediately rebuilt, and is now one of the leading manufactories of the State. The town has four churches, two hotels, a graded school and many other signs of prosperity. The High Point, Randleman, Asheboro and Southern Railroad has a fine depot here, and reaches the town by a loop, giving a beautiful view as the train sweeps around the brow of the hill overlooking the place from the west. Within the town limits is Naomi Falls, named after Naomi Wise, who was drowned here by Jonathan Lewis about the year 1808. Naomi Falls Factory was also named for the ill-fated Naomi. It was built by J. E. Walker, John H. Ferree, J. O. Pickard and Amos Gregson in 1879. Dr. Braxton Craven, after an able discourse, dedicated this factory building to "Almighty God, for the purpose and uses of Christian work." This was a new departure and a good example, and it is remarkable that the factories of Randolph County are conducted almost entirely by Christian gentlemen of very high type.
