The Ruralite (Sylva, N.C.) reported on improvements in the operation of the Dillsboro and Sylva Electric Company in its January 13, 1931, issue in an article titled 'Electric Company Installs Some New Machinery.'� C.J. Harris, a prominent Jackson County, N.C., entrepreneur, had developed the Hog Rock kaolin mines, located some four miles southwest of Dillsboro, N.C., in the early 1890s and established his corporate headquarters in the town. In the early 1900s, Harris built a dam on the Tuckasegee River at Dillsboro and established the electric company to service his business interests and the public.
