Roanoke ChevroIetCo W ILLIAMSTON, N. C. JLoir StoAljunQ' /aZ (fe&cp j/vub SMOKE, BETRAYED A GREAT ? BLOCKADE Rl'NNER "What's in a name?" is a question often asked,* but seldom answered. Yet great men's names are left be hind them and are much used by ( posterity. This is a story of the' name of a great North Carolina war governor,! Zebulon B Vance, boats, and bitum- I inous coal from the mines near San-1 ford. N. C. The new $9,000,000 ship yards at j Wilmington are a part of the nation- j al defense program. The first vessel launched then- was the Zeb B. Vance | and this reminds us of another war and another boat that bore the name , of Vance. Lincoln's blockade of southern ports was an important factor in the winning of the Civil War. That blockade gave birth to a number of fleet grey blockade runners. The most noted of these vessels in the service of North Carolina was the Ad-Vance. Thus vessel's mysterious disappearance and reappearance un der the coyer of night's black shadow is one of the thrilling episodes of the Civil War. The Ad-Vance was a first class vessel and had engines of groat pow er. Her speed was good, for with a pressure of thirty pounds to the square inch she could reel off twen ty knots to tin* hour without diffi culty. To rurtlhe blockade, it was neces sary to slip out at night and hug the shore as closely as possible. With all steam on, the blockade runner would dash up the coast with the speed of a thoroughbred on a hotly contested race, course. On the return trip from Bermuda in July, 1864, the Ad-Vance was dis overed by the federal blockading fleet that opened fire. The federal boats gave chase like a pack of hounds in eager pursuit. There was I great danger for it was necessary to I keep a direct course until she could | ound a shoal and run in toward the | port Shot and shells were flying, but she held steadily to her course rush ing onward to what seemed to be ertain destruction. Suddenly a roar was heard from the fort. The heavy guns had opened fire u|x?n the pur suers with such effect that the hard pressed vessel was protected There was a different story in Sep tember of '64 when a trail of smoke betrayed the Ad Vance The Con federate government had taken the hard coal for the use of another boat, and the blockade runner had to put out to sea with North Carolina coal. This coal is inferior and very bitum half he? usual speed and loft behind a trail Of dense black smoke. She successfully made her way through easily followed by the trail of heavy smoke. That was the end for the Ad- j Vance, a valuable blockade runner,!

BFGAUSF of omorgoncy pnniitios on coppm nir r I other materials essential to our country's da( effort, we are obliqed to alter our pract 1 e with respect to extension of service to locations not on t 1 t distribution lines. Priority rules covering use of materials make it important that anyone who contemplates building on a site which is even a short distance removed from existing distribution lines should discuss with us in advance of starting to build, the question of availability of Electric Service. In other words, it is necessary that you FIRST find out whether we are allowed, under priority rulings, to mafe th" 1?-'-red Electric Service extension. This change in policy is due not to any sh rtage of .-?!?? t power in Virginia Fleetric and Power Company wived territory, but to a shortage of materials necessary to de fense. It is our desire to co-operate fully with the Govern ment in the defense program, and to that end we are appealing in this way to all prospective builders for their help in living up to the spirit as well as the letter of all emergency rulings governing use of materials.
