Srv la North Carolina, tha letter from the Tl-year-old Elbert Morria describes la graphic detail his fortunes from the time of tha War Between the States SO years before. Capt 'Sam C. Pelhara af Alexandria Road, a grandson of tha letter writer, secured the letter from Mrs. Nell Morria' Jenkins of Emelle. Ala, a granddaughter of tha writer.

The old man, who had less than a year of formal schooling, wrote in a clear, firm hand of "a per feet stream of misfortunes attending me aver since tha beginning of the war." There is no Indication exactly when he bought the Iron works and other property la and near MorrisvUla, but Mr. Morris wrote that, up to the time of the war's beginning, he had been "burnt out" two or three thnes but bad msde "a considerable fortune and had put a large amount In Negro property and the balance la the iron works." Captain Pelhara told this reporter the works was first built by a Dr. Crow about 1840 and later sold to a Mr. Goode. Some time prior to tne war it was sold' to Mr.

Morris and a man named Hicks, v. Quoting from the letter, the Iron works consisted of "blast furnace, puddle forge hammer for making bar Iron, and foundry for making hollow-wsre and all kinds of mill and gin machinery. The industrious Mr. Morris flso owned and operated- a machine shop "with most all kinds of woodworking and some Ironwork-ing machinery." He owned an Interest In two or three sawmills and four grist mills, and after the war bought up three other mills. The Federal Army burned out the Iron works entirely, Mr.

Morris wrote, and farmers stopped son. Thomas E. Kilby, IIL tlew saaerter, smsOsr dsatgna by Heaslse. Elgto All-AmerM to preserve their knowledge, and encourage Improvements In the Manufacturing Company. Captain Pelham said Mr.

Next he started a furniture factory, "made over 8,000 bedsteads on one run and for a time made big money at It" But the building of the railroad here brought with ft cheap furniture from the North and ruined his business. Then Mr. Morris Invented a new. turbine water wheel and, with his four sons, constructed a foundry and machinery to make them.

This enterprise was built about two miles below Morrisville on the la ApiC1l884, a flood "raised tha water at tha mill 21 feeW four Inches." twice as high as It bad aver been before.
