SAUFISH TAKEN
OFF DARE COAST

o. H. Thorn, Portsmouth, Va,
angler fishing with party of
friends aboard Capt. Ken Wards
cruiser Cherokee on Tuesday
hooked and boated the first sailfish
of the 1851 season. Using squid
for bait, Thorn was trolling at a
point about 80 miles southeast of
Oregon Inlet when the sail, which
measured 70 inches from tip to tip,
was taken.
The party also caught several
large dolphin and some amberjack.
The sailfish was taken a few miles
north of a point near Diamond
Lightship where Capt. Ernal Fos-
ter, skipper of the Albatross II, at
Hatteras, hooked and landed a
475h pound blue marlin about
three weeks ago.
Fishing generally has been very
good during the past week. Excel
lent Gulf Stream catches have been
made during the period and blues
continue to give anglers some fine
sport in the vicinity of Oregon In
let and at the ocean piers of Mays
Head.

Children To Be Returned
When Welfare Dept. Declares
Parents Have Suitable
Home"

'I am going to continue the Gus
tody of the children with the Dare
County Department of Welfare,
and the sooner l can change it,
the happier l will be-" said Juve-
nile Court hldge c. S. Meekins
near the end of "a hearing on the
custody of the three children of
Frank and Theo DeFebio at his
office in the courthouse last Fri
day afternoon. The judge went on
to say that the establishment of a
suitable home" would be the con-
dition upon which he would order
the return of the children to their
parents.
He was Immediately pressed for
a definition of the phrase suitable
home" by Mrs. DeFebio. The judge
did not define the term, but said
that, if the DeFebios made their
home outside Dare county, he
would accept the statements of
five leading citizens" of their
chosen community as sufficient
evidence of a proper home for the
children. If they continued to live
in Dare county, however, the
judge went on, the children would
be returned to their parents
when they have established a
home satisfactory to the Depart
ment of Welfare"
What Does Suitable" Mean?
Mr.. and Mrs. DeFebio and David
Stick, who came to the hearing to
testify in the DeFebiOs' behalf,
then asked Welfare Supt. Goldie
Meekins to explain the standard
by which she would judge home
to be satisfactory. Mrs. Meekins
answered that the home should be
established in a community where
the children would have the ex-
perience of mingling with other
children; it should be a sanitary
home; and one or the other of the
parents should be established in

a budget for the next fiscal year
totaling $162,465.2O, largest in the
history of the county.
They voted to retain the current
tax rate of 5000 per $4,000 valua-
ton.
Total valuation of property in
the county for tax purposes is
$12,145,271. At the 9Oe tax rate,
it is estimated that this will pro-
duce revenue amounting to $780,

ing the next fiscal year. With cash
balances remaining, as of June 80,
of $10,835.07 in the general fund,
$7,231.28 in the school fund, and
$2,969.95 in the debt service fund,
the total money expected to be
available to meet expenses during
the year 1882 is $181, 443.36.
This leaves balance of estimat-
ed incoming revenue of $18,978.16
in excess of budgeted outlays for
the various county departments.

The general fund has been al
loted 3,974.62 for the year; thus

BRATTEN'S JOB
SORE SUBJECT
MAINS HARBOR
Friends of Game Protector
Greatly DispIeased Over
Manner of His Dis
nnissal

Friends of Capt. Jim Bratten of
Manns Harbor, for ID years
County Game protector, are plenty
sore about the manner in which he
was shelved July 1, and have twice
circulated a petition that he be re-
tanned. There is much about this
instance that savors of political
skulduggery and dirty work behind
closed doors. No one has had a
chance to apply for the job for no
notice has been given of a vacancy
in office, and it appears the dirty
work was done in order to quietly
pass on the job for political favors.
News came to Capt. Jim that he
would be put out on his $14 a
month retired pay, on July 1. The
poor fellow didn't have an opportu-
nifty to get out and look for friends
to help him because he was staying
close to the bedside of a daughter
dying of cancer. But his friends
circulated a petition which carried
hundreds of names. 1t was left at
a Manns Harbor store for the con-
venience of several others who
wished to attach their names to it.
Somebody stole the petition and
did away with it. Nobody knows
where it went, but apparently
those who had been undermining
Capt. Jim Bratten to get his job,
must have had hand in it. Con-
siderable time was lost before the
news got out, and a new petition
was circulated and sent to the
N. C. Wildlife Resources Commits
sion.
Governor SCOTS administration
has done a lot of good things for
North Carolina, many Of them in a
big way, and when it pulls a stink
er, it usually pulls big one too.
1t has a lot of stinkers in office
and some of them must be in the
Hog Wild wildlife outfit. Capt.
Jim's superiors had assured him he
would be given ample notice be-
fore anything would be done about
his retirement. Although he is now
IS. it is not imperative that he be
put out of office at once, and it is
certainly not equitable that he be
kicked out of office at time when
he was NJ against it financially,
and troubled about dying child.
3. Capt. Jim's services must have
been satisfactory with his depart
ment, for he had held the job IA
years. It appears there is about as
much humbuggery in the manage
ment of the hog wild outfit as
there was in the old politics-ridden
outfit, so long purely political
prostitution for personal political
gain of the game and commercial
fishing resources of our people.
Friends of Capt. Jim are pretty
bitter about this deal from the de-
partment which so eagerly insisted
it would be run without politics.
They say whoever gets Capt. Jim's
place in such manner will get little
joy out of it, and they hope those
who connived with SCOTS hangers
on to GUST Capt. Jim, will get a
lot of happiness out of what they
have done to an old servant in time
of trouble and need.

COLINGTON ROAD
RUMOR APPEARS
AS IDLE TALK.

A rumor has been circulating in
recent weeks that the road to Col
ington would not be built. The UNI
founded runor was said to be
based on the refusal of the govern
ment to allow the road to be built
through the Wright Memorial res
ervation, through which, incident
ally, the road now runs and has
always run. One of the men re-
moving some of the contractors
equipment at the nearly-completed
Oregon Inlet paving project re
peated the story to Sheriff Frank
Cahoon last week. o.
Repeatedly asked about the mat
ter by citizens of the Colington
section, Registrar of Deeds Melvin
r. Daniels did little spadework ON
the story Tuesday, to try to see
what foundation there was for il.
Mr.. Daniels found out that, if there
is anything to the rumor, none Of
the people who ought to know
about it take any stock at all in it.
He called Highway Commissioner
Henry Sheldon-and found he had
heard nothing about it. He checked
with Horace Dough, Supt. of the
reservation at Kill Devil Hill
learned that, so far as Mr.. Dough
knows, there is nothing to it. And
finally, he checked with the local
highway office, where no such
monkey-wrench in the plan has
been heard of. That, Mr.. Daniels
believes, should take care of that
rumor.
