Abstract

Barony in Carolina. The Town That Towels Built
Jenkins, J. | May 12, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

Kannapolis, North Carolina is a twentieth-century barony. Charles Albert Cannon wields his power sparingly. With Cannon Mills personnel and money threaded into every fabric of Kannapolis, situations rarely arise to require its use. Kannapoids is a law-abiding place, with an incidence of violence well below the national average, and for this the churches are given, most of the credit. The community straddles the line separating dry Cabarrus County from wet Rowan County. Statistics about Cannon Mills are not bandied about, but the company business last year was around $190,000,000.
