the State board from John Gill con-
sists of 100 acres of land and the Gill
home place. The residence has been
remodeled for use of the superinten-

When the prisoners are transfer
red to the new camp in the summer,
the present property will revert to
the county of Vance. It was operat-
ed by the county as prison camp

Part Of Fleet
ToBe In Port

While the major portion of the
United States fleet that recently
steamed into Hampton Roads will
be on its way back to the Pacific
coast, number of ships of the
great armada will still be in the
Norfolk vicinity the coming week
end, and visits to the ships will be
authorized, according to information
received today. Sudden govern
ment orders sending the large por-
ton of the fleet to the west coast
appeared for time to be likely to
disrupt plans of many people in this
section to visit Norfolk and the fleet
the coming weekend. Assurances
have been given, however, by the
Seaboard Air Line railroad that its
special trains and low fares will ap-
ply for the time, and that oppor-
tunity will be given to visit the
ships that are still in port.
