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.

Abstract:
The Superior Stone Company of Raleigh cashed in on the limestone industry during the early 1940s. As of 1941, the company employed 200 men, 40 trucks, and large mining machines capable of processing 300 tons per hour. Limestone could be found along the Onslow and Jones County line with large quantities concentrated near Belgrade. The demand for limestone was generated by construction of the New River Barracks.
