SOUTHPORT, Aug. 2.-Once the
most famous lighthouse on the
North Carolina coast, perhaps IN
the South, the Prices Creek light
house on the Cape Fear river,
three miles above Southport, now
stands out as the most forgotten.
Supposedly built long before me
Civil War, it vas the friendly
beacon of Prices Creek lighthouse
that guided hundreds of blockade
Runners into the Cape Fear; into
the shelter afforded by the frown-
ing guns of Fort Fisher on one
side of the river, and of Battery
Lamb on the other. This light
house now stands neglected and
forgotten by all save a few.
In the background in the shelter
of trees and small sand dunes or
breastworks, the once palatial
home of the keeper has crumbled
with only two Of the brick walls
of the two-story home still being
in good preservation. Cannon shots
from ships are said to have
crumbled parts of this home.
Prices Creek lighthouse and a
three acre reservation is now
owned by Col. J. S. Crawford of
Washington, D. C. Visiting South
port last year Col. and Mrs. Craw-
ford said that when he retired he
would build a home on a bluff
near the lighthouse. DR.. ana Mrs.
John R. Ames of Onacock, Va.
also own a tract of about 80 acres,
adjoining the lighthouse tract ana
they have also said they plan to
build a home and retire there
within the next few years. 1t may
be that with the coming of resi-
dents to the immediate vicinity the
old Price Creek lighthouse will re-
ceive more attention and again
come into some notice from the
public.
Among the tales of the Cape
Fear is one OF a Blockade Run
ners, fleeing into the shelter of the
river, persued by Federal gun
boats. The pilot, the only man on
board who knew the channel, was
dying of yellow fever in his bunk.
Unless the ship found the channel
and made it through she was
doomed to be lost. Calling mem
bers of the crew to his side the
dying pilot commanded that he be
carried to the pilot house and
there, supported by the men on
either side, he conned the man
at the wheel through the narrow
channel. He fell back dead, just
as the small, friendly beacon
shone out to guide the ship to
safety.
For its association with Fort
Fisher, if for NO other reason, the

Lake Village development Of the

tive Aug. 10, B. H. Marshall, Jr.,

STATE RAISES
HOSPITAL FEES
Workmen's Compensation
Patients Effected By
Boost

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 2 III
A new schedule Of maximum fees
that hospitals may charge for pa
tents treated under the Work
mems Compensation Act was an
nounced today by the State Indus
trial commission.
Commissioner Buren, Jurney
said that the N. c. Hospital asso-
citation requested the increased
charges several weeks ago a n d
the Industrial commission. The
hospital officials told the commits
sion that their cost of operation
had trebled in the past few years,
he added.
Juney said that the hospitals
must charge the same COR indus
trial commission patients as they
charge the general public but that
they cannot charge more than the
maximum schedule fixed by the
commission.
Under the new schedule, the
maximum charge for a ward bed
was boosted from S.. to Sc per
day, for a semi-private room from
Sc to So, and for a private room
81 to $40. The operating room fee
FOR major surgery was increased
from $3.50 to $3.50 and for mi
nor surgery from S. to $40. Other
fees were increased accordingly in
most instances.

Fire Law
To Be Requested

A new law in North Carolina
making it unlawful to let out woods
fires before 4:30 p. m. from Febru-
airy Is to May IS each year will
be asked of the next legislature
by a committee representing the
local work of Southern States
Forestfire Commission, Inc. it
is announced in a bulletin sent
the Star-NeWs last week.
This amendment to the state
regulation on foreN fires is cal
culated to reduce. destruction caus-
ed by fires getting out from new
gsound, turnip bed and tobacco
seed beds each spring. Those who
are to do any burning will also be
required to notify three of their
nearest neighbors at least "a hours
in advance, the bulletin stated.
Thi new protective aid for timber
growers has already been enacted
by the Virginia Legislature, and
automobile bumper signs to warn
one and all have been distributed
by the State Foresters, and which
has been the means of saving many
hundreds of thousands of acres
from destruction, the statement
further AYERS.
Much of the burning in this state
is due to belief of some farmers
that better grazing results and
that the grass grows more quickly
in the spring. Such beliefs are
disappearing due to discovery by
cattle raisers that burnt over pas
ture gets tough quicker in late
spring and early summer. Grass
in some sage and underground re-
mains partially hidden from the
sun and air, and thereby stays
tender for cattle longer, the Com
mission futher says in the an
nouncement.
ALI members of the Southern
States Forestfire Commission in
this area have been asked to con-
tact their legislators and Senators
in behalf Of the new measure.

Forgotten Lighthouse
Was Once Vital Beacon

Prices Creek lighthouse could be
better looked after than it now is.
During its day the channel into
the river was east of Bald Head
island, slightly east Of the old
quarantine station. The lighthouse,
about 80 feet tall, is on the west
bank Of the Cape Fear, slightly
above the station.
