Around here the millwheels were prob- ably horizontal. Most local millponds swapped depth of water for acreage. The primary excep- tion was the mill on Cove Swamp (on the western back- side of Boys and Girls Home property at Lake Waccamaw.) There is some 10 feet differ- ence in elevation from the upper swamp to the Lake, so a vertical, overshot wheel was probably employed there. The Memory millrace may have utilized a slight elevation dif- ference, as well. Prior to the invention and wide usage of the turbine around 1830, millraces were designed and intentionally named: narrowing caused the water to “race” toward the wheel. The physics of this swaps volume for veloc- ity. Eventually the millrace graduated into a penstock to spray against a flat paddle. This was generally inef- ficient so mills only ran in Map detail from a Short and Beers property map dated high water season. 1884 showing the position of the millpond relative to the The hemispheres of the roads of the period, mentioned in the text. turbine worked much better, translating foot-pounds of energy to kinetic movement Map detail from 1823 Brown and White Marsh Drainage Project, mentioned in text.

IRS warns of tax scheme The Internal Revenue Ser- vice has warned senior citi- zens and other taxpayers to beware of an emerging scheme tempting them to file tax re- turns claiming fraudulent refunds. The scheme carries a com- mon theme of promising re- funds to people who have little or no income and normally don’t have a tax filing require- ment. Under the scheme, pro- moters claim they can obtain for their victims, often senior citizens, a tax refund or nonex- istent stimulus payment based on the American Opportunity Tax Credit, even if the victim was not enrolled in or paying for college.

During the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, a luminary ceremony takes place. Candles are placed in luminary bags and are lit the Friday night of the event to honor those fighting cancer or in remembrance of those who have lost their battle with cancer. The votives burn throughout the night, serving as a reminder of the purpose of Relay For Life. Last year Columbus County’s luminary ceremony had more than 1,100 luminaries outlining the track at SCC. For the 2012 event hopes are the total will be 1,500 or more. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Columbus County will be held April 20 at 9:30 p.m. at Southeastern Community College. To purchase a luminary to honor someone fighting cancer or in remembrance of one who has lost their battle with cancer, complete and mail this luminary form to the address below.

Serene shot of Millpond with nice mahogany motor boat circa 1940s. Te Millpond – A 226-year evolution By ROBB CROSS Photos courtesy of VINSON BOWERS and NELSON H. MORGAN
The Wingate-Richardson- Bowers Millpond has gone through quite an evolution in the past 226 years. The saw- mill is documented in a deed description in the year 1786 as belonging to John Wingate and before the creation of Columbus County in 1808, the Millpond area was in Bruns- wick County. Born in 1759, Wingate died at the ripe old age of 87 in 1846. He had the sawmill for at least 30 years so the infrastructure was probably in tough shape when he sold out to Jacob Guyton. Ernest L. Vinson in coat and tie paddling a lady-friend from New York on the Millpond Like Wingate, Guyton had in 1933. invested in the new town of Whiteville and possibly had a store uptown. Most any sawmill of the day had a gristmill attached and corn was one of the most prominent commodities grown in the county. Millers usually ground the corn in exchange for one-eighth of the meal, which they could sell. Canada Rouse, on the other Millpond frozen over circa 1950s. hand, seemed to lifke property south of town.
