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.
