Mr. White was reared in his natal city, and is a graduate of the South Carolina Military Academy. After graduation he served an ap- prenticeship as a machinist, then ran on the railroad for a time. He was next employed as a draughtsman by the South Carolina Rail- road Company, and subsequently had a run on that road for a short time. He went to Macon, Georgia, where. in 1889, he became superin-


tendent of a gas, electric and street railway company, and afterward went to Belleville, Ili- nios, where he rebuilt a plant, of which he took charge. He continued in that city until Janu- ary. 1893. when he came to Portsmouth, Vir- ginia, and assumed the position of superintend- ent of the Portsmouth Gas Company. This concern was chartered and established April I7, 1854. and was conducted very successfully for a number of years. It then ceased to pay dividends, but since Mr. White became super- intendent. in 1893, its affairs have been in a healthy and prosperous condition. H. L. Watts was the treasurer of the company, and Mr. White later acted in that capacity for a period of three years. The daily capacity of the plant has been increased from 20,000 to 1.50,000 cu- bic feet. and the equipment is of the later pat- tern. There are about 850 consumers in the city of Portsmouth. Mr. White has entire su- pervision of all work outside of the office, and has charge of the street lighting. In the streets there are 84 lights, 14 being commercial lights of 2,000 candle power. The gas plant is at the north end of Green street ; and is equipped with a dynamo and other modern machinery. The charter was renewed in February. 1884. when the electrical plant was added, granting i the privilege of lighting Portsmouth City and Norfolk County. They have 2-inch, cast-iron mains in the ground, and are probably the only company which has them.
