interest pictured in the booklet
was Burnside's Headquarters. The
residence which had served as the
U. s. Generals headquarters after
his amphibious forces had cap
tured the island back in 1861, has
since been destroyed by the en-
croachment of the tide along the
islands west shore.
| 1t was in the old Roanoke Ho-
tel shortly after the turn of the
Century that Reginald Fessenden
and his party lived and had an
office while he conducted expert
ments leading to telephone mes
sages being sent across water by
wireless. (His wireless expert
menting station was near the
north end of the island.) Photo
graphs in the booklet showed
beach scenes including women in
bathing suits that made them
look more fully covered than the
average clothes worn by women
today.
In 1907 when the hosiery was
operated by R. C. Evans, the Roa-
noke opened June 20 and remain

of our young men and women are
now entering the nations armed
forces and North Carolina is we'll
represented on the battlefields of
Korea. We on the home front can
not let them down. Through our
support of the American Red
Cross we shall assure the funds
necessary to carry on the many
Red Cross services that are so es-
sential to them and their families.
The 1851 Red Cross campaign
workers in your chapter are carry
ing out a patriotic service of vital
Importance to the citizens of this
state. This mission must be ac-
complished.-W. Kerr Scott, Gov
ernor."
The Fund Chairman has been
unable to secure workers in the
Mays Head area, and the citizens
of that community are asked to
send their contributions direct to
the Fund Chairman in Manteo to
assist the County in meeting its
quota.
Response Gratifying, But
The support of the business
people of Manteo has been graft
flying, but there are still about
half of those contacted whose con-
tributions have not been received
by the Fund Chairman.
Mrs. Burrus of Hatteras is to
be congratulated upon raising the
highest percentage of her quota
from the reports now in. It is hop
ed that those reporting this week
will be able to show similar rec
ords.
To date approximately 100000
has been turned in to the Fund
Chairman. With twelve communi-
ties yet to report, the county may
well exceed it's quota. Such is
greatly to be desired, for it will
enable the local Chapter of the
Red Cross to render more services
to the people of. our county. 1t was
our chief aim in this Fund Drive
to raise sufficient funds for the
expanded operation of our local
chapter. By exceeding our quota,
much larger amount of money
will remain in our county fol-
work among our people. Those
who have not yet given should
give generously to accomplish this
aim.
The Fund Chairman wishes al
communities to report blythe 9th
of March so that in the next issue
of The Times, he may report 1
successful 1851 Red Cross Drive.

By CARLTON NORRIS

The other day went to the Old
Country Store to get some things
I.needed and among other things,
got my water pump which !
wanted to use where l am now
living.
Sgt. Bonner Morris was with
me as he is home on furlough. We
arrived there about midday and
had only been there few minutes
when a lot of my good friends
stopped in to see me and for a
little while it seemed like old
times. Old man Barnett from Bel
haven is still on his route for the
dry cleaners and he was the first
to stop and wish me well in my
Gates County job and then Mac
Mason who works with the high
way department with his whole
gang dropped by for a few words
and 1 was sincerely glad to see
every one of them.
After they all left, Bonner and
/ moved the pump from the water
line and we discovered we had
failed to bring along a wrench we
needed so Bonner took my car
and went off up the road to get it
while stayed there alone.
/ went into the store which is
vacant and sat down on the count
err for while. That was a natural
and simple act in itself but as l
sat there with no sound breaking
the stiffness, save the faint and
far away chatter of a squirrel, my
mind wandered away to days gone
by and my many friends Of yester-
year.
saw them stopping in front of
the Old Country Store which /
made into an institution, in vast
parade of love and friendship. In
my minds eye, l saw my good
friend Linwood Mckinney as he
drove Up with a big grin and called
"fill 'er up" 1 saw US in abstract
as we sat and talked for hours in
the perfect harmony of old
friends. With a little imagination
1 beheld another Of my class

head held little to one side as
he stopped and we clasped hands
in thought as we have many
times in reality. Frank had
scarcely vanished from my day
dream when with a big grin, Joe
Bishop arrived and we began to
tell all the accumulated jokes we
had learned since l left. With my
eyes tight shut l relived for a
time the long Sunday afternoons
when my friends dropped in from
far and near. From Hyde, Dare
and Beaufort counties, from Ra-
leigh, Durham, Wilson, Greenville
and from all over the State they
came to me in my swift running
dreams as l sat alone on the
counter of the Old Country Store.
Each had a special place in my
heart.
Hours, days, weeks, months and
years passed in the twinkling of
an eye, and still the scenes of the
past fled before me. The gloomy
and cloudy winter day changed in
my thoughts to beautiful, clear,
frosty mornings and family and
far away my dreams waited to me
the sound of hunt with the dogs
in full cry. On and on they came
until the day was filed with the
sound of them. My memory began
to play me false as it shifted to
high summer and the weeds and
flowers grew and fiourished round
about. Ny son appeared before me,
burned down by the summer sun
and 1 dipped ice cream for hot
and thirsty youngsters.
l looked down the road to see
if my mother would be coming
along to see me, her only son,
and / saw only the lonely road for
no one was there. The road was
empty as far as / could see.
Like my dreams, no one came
along. My dreams were all empty.
1 was just a lonely dreamer sit
ting alone on the worn counter of
the Old Country Store for no one
would ever come again.
/ heard my dreams as they fell
to earth and shattered, one by one.

err. He said he assisted the people
with the ambulance which he had
had his son summon from Manteo.
He himself notified the Highway
Patrol of the accident. Jack Tillett
was taken to the hospital first:
Leslie Roscoe Tillett was taken
there later by an ambulance sent
out from Elizabeth City, Mr.. San
derlin said. He was still there
when Patrloman Riddick came,
about an hour and half or two
hours after the wreck, and some
time after the men had been TAX
en- to the hospital.
PatrOlmen Take the Stand
Patrolman John S. Sanderson,
who is stationed at South Mills,
was next to take the stand. He
was notified by radio to go to Al
bemarle Hospital, he said, simply
to get routine information about
the accident from Jack Tillett.
/ When he arrived, there were sew
eral people around Jack Tillett,
! who was on a stretcher. Until he
had talked to him for some time,
Tillett refused to accept treat
ment, Sanderson said. After that,
he was cooperative.
Jack Tillett told him he was
driving when the accident occur
red, and he also told him he
had no drivers license because he
hadn't renewed it when it expired
in December, Officer Sanderson
testified. The officer said that in
his opinion Jack Tillett was ra-
tional when he first talked to him.
His second conversation with
Tillett took place in the operating
room when DIR. Weeks was sewing
up the decorations on Tillett's
legs; this time, Tillett told him
he had not been driving.
Replying to Mr.. McCown's ques-
tons, Sanderson said that he and
Patrolman Riddick and a third pa
trolman had all questioned Tillett
that evening at the hospital; as
far as Officer Sanderson knew
: Jack Tillett did not know at the
time of any of the questionings
that his cousin had died.
Patrolman w. B. Riddick Of
Elizabeth City had gone to the
scene of the accident. He saw the
marks on the highway and in The
sand, he said, and described then
as Mr.. Sanderlin had done. At the
hospital Jack Tillett had "said hi
wasn't sure he was driving at tho
time of the accident" PatrolmaI
Riddick said that Jack Tillett haC

When manure is used year after
year for garden land, it will make
the soil "too rich" for certain veg
etables. This is due to the fact
that the nitrogen in manure is
excessive in proportion to the
phosphate and potash. A balanced
fertilizer can be made from poul-
try manure by the addition of APP
proximately 60 pounds of super
phosphate and 10 pounds of muir
late of potash to 800 pounds of
manure. For stable manure, the
10 pounds of potash may be left
out.
