Interesting stuff. I hope this isn't a reflection on my school days, but I learned more about Richmond County from this one short article than I did in all the
years I attended school in Hamlet. And an unemployment rate of just
2.6 percent boggles the mind.

Agree completely Bruce. Very interesting stuff.
But I have a question. I know where most of the 'other smaller communities' are located. But there are three that I am not familiar with. Where are/was Mangum, X-Way, and Midway located?
