industrialists seeing new ideations
Since 1926, he pointed out, the
company has maintained an In
dustrial Development Department
to work with State and local ag
encies in an effort to stimulate in
dustrial development and that
more recently the company crea
ted an Agricultural Development
Department with the realization
that any stimulus given to improv
ing agriculture “will have a pro
found influence upon the total
economy ,of the service area."
He said! the ‘ Finer Carolina”
program inaugurated by the com
pany to stimulate community im
provement was also awakening
civic interest and development of
various towns and rural areas a
like.
CITES GROWTH %
Mr. Sutton recalled that when
Tyler became district manager of
his company hert, the Dunn dis
trict, comprised chiefly of the
Town of Dunn, had about 1,000 e
lectric customers. Today, he re
ported. the Dunn district embraces
30 town and communities located
in five counties and that the Dunn
district is now serving 24,600 elec
trict customers,
Sutton reported that the Dunn
1 district today is about four tir-s
the size of the total system in 1914
in the number of customers served.
Electrical development of rural
areas has also been expanded, he
said. In 1928, only a few farms lo
cated near the city limits were
served with electricity. Today he
said, 11,936 rural or farm custo
mers are being served with 1,785
miles of company-owned lines In
the Dunn district.
He also pointed out that users
of electricity prior to the time the
company took over the job In 1922
paid 18 cents per kilowatt hour, as
compared with today’s rate of 2.2
cents per kilowatt hour.
Citing the growth of the com
pany as a whole, Mr. Sutton re
called that when the company was
organized in 1903, it was serving
approximately 1,100 electric cus
tomers in Raleigh, Sanford and
Jonesboro plus a few ootton mills
in Fayetteville.
“Today,” he said, “We are serv
ing approximately 360,000 custo
mers—one half of whom are rural
or farm customers, in an area em
bracing 30,000 square miles of land
and a population of approximately
two million people. Stated differ
ently, we serve 47 per cent of the
land area of North Carolina and
23 per cent of the land area of
South Carolina.”
He said that while the growth
of the company has been cons,
tant, it “has been phenominal since
World War II”
WORTH DOUBLE
Since V-J Day, he said, the plant
account, or total worth of the com
pany, has more than doubled—the
number of customers served has
doubled apd the company re
venue almost tripled.
During those eight years, he
•continued, th e company has spent
117 million dollars in expansion of
facilities including new generating,
transmission and distribution e
quipment. The cost of the expan
sion program from World War U
as planned through 1967 will be
in excess of 200 million dollars.
“It has long been our convic
tion," he said, “that our own pro
gress and development ‘is depend
ent on the progress and develop
ment of the area we serve.”
Sutton recalled that bis first
visit to Dunn was back in 1922
when he qame here to make the
first survey for the company. He
paid personal tribute to some of
the town's early leaders, Including
J. Lloyd Wade, P. A. Lee,
Goldstein, Allie Newberry and
George T. Noel.

No Arrests In
Dunn Shooting
i
State Highway Patrolmen were
still on the alert today for a ma
roon Ford and two unidentified
white men who made a bold day
light attempt to shoot the driver
of a Thurston Motor Line truck
near the Harnett County Training
School yesterday afternoon.
The truck was driven by Carl
Wise of Knightdale, Route one.
The attempted murder was be
leived to have been connected with
a 10-week strike of the lines' driv
ers. Officials of the company stat- ,
ed today that the strike has been
high-lighted by three violent at
tempts to murder or seriously in
jure drivers of three trucks.
Deputy Sheriff H, C. Benton- of
Raleigh, stated today that a shot
gun blast was fired from a car and
struck a Thurston truck on U. S.
70 a few days ago, and that a six
pound rock was hurled through the
windshield of another truck near
Raleigh on U. S. 64 recently.
Wise told local officers of the po
lice that he was rounding the com
er coming into Dunn when he saw
a man stick his head out of a car
window and aim a pistol at him. As
the car sped toward the triilk,
Wise said he ducked just bitime to 1
miss being hit by the bullet whicßf
pierced the windshield.
The truck driver suffered minor
cuts from the broken glass and was
slightly shocked.
State Patrolmen of the area went
to work on a road block, but no ‘
trace of the car had been found at
press time today. One highway pa
trolman Identified the car as a ma
roon. late model Ford. He sain
chances were that It turned off a
side road. However, he added that a
concerted effort is being made to
apprehend the car driver and other
occupant of the vehicle,

Discussing other issues he will
face as a senator, Ervin said that
no congressional committee should
allow one-man hearings. He did
not mention Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis) by name on that
point, but said he thought the
Army-McCarthy hearings will help
the Democrats win control of both
branches of Congress this fall.
Regarding farm support prices
