Abstract:

One of the most interesting projects now in operation is located in Belgrade south of New Bern. Four years ago, the Superior Stone Company of Raleigh discovered a huge deposit of shell-rock in that section. They obtained the necessary rights and then proceeded to install equipment for getting the rock out, and in a short time thousands of tons of the rock were being shipped to various sections of eastern North Carolina where there is big demand for it.
