Rocky Mount Telegram Online
Description
The Rocky Mount Telegram started publication as a morning newspaper in October 1910. A young Trinity College (Duke University) graduate named J.L. Horne had worked a few months on the city's established paper, The Daily Record, then decided he could start his own newspaper and do it better.
He was right. The Morning Telegram was a hit, according to a 1967 story on the history of the paper. It usually ran eight pages, full of local news and was delivered every day except Sunday. It was printed on a manually operated press where sheets of paper were hand fed through it one at a time while another pressman turned the rollers to print a page.
A year later, Josh Horne changed the paper to an afternoon publication, renaming it The Evening Telegram. It kept that name until 1995 when it became the current Rocky Mount Telegram. Horne bought out his competition in 1912 and weathered a number of other start-up attempts with names like the Argonaut, Rocky Mount Motor and Tar Heel Topics.
