Man Killed On
R. R. Crossing

A Rankin county Negro farmer
was killed instantly here Monday
when the car in which he was an
occupant was struck by west
bound Illinois Central freight train.
He was identified as Willie Slap
Teton, about 30, who was farmer
on the plantation of c. H. Kennedy,
located east of Brandon.
The accident occurred about 1870
am. Monday. Willie Stapleton was
repeatedly a back seat passenger
of a car that stalled on the tracks
and was unable to get out of the
vehicle.
Illinois Central authorities iden-
titled the other men in the 1941
Ford as Willie Harvey and Andrew
Stapleton, the latter a brother of
the victim.
Although the railroad investiga-
ton was incomplete, officials said
their report showed that the men
apparently drove on to the tracks
ahead of the train, became fright
ened and stopped on the tracks.
The two men riding on the front
seat of the car escaped injury.
The accident occurred at the Value
crossing in Brandon.

THEY STILL TALK
ABOUT HAMMERHEAD
SHARK AT HATTERAS

Hatteras.-They were talking
about the biggest shark ever seen
at HatteIas back in 1928, and one
still hears the story of the fabu-
lous hammerhead here in this Out
er Banks community. No one re-
members exactly when it was
caught, but some of the oldsters
here today remember the great
fish.
The late Fred Stowe was chat
ting with General Billy Mitchell
during the summer of 1928 when
the latter was here with his squad
ron of planes to prove that a sur
face craft was vulnerable to bombs
dropped from the air. The point
was proven here on Septem-
was proven here on September s
that year, but the general was to
become a martyr before the fact
was Generally accepted by his gov
eminent.
"How big was the largest shark
you have ever SEEM" asked Cen
eral Mitchell. He was amazed at
the answer Fred Stowe gave.
at measured IL feet from eye
to eye," replied Fred. Then he ex-
planned that it was a hammerhead
shark, those monsters of the spe-
cies which have eyes at the tip of
their hammer-like anatomy ex-
tending from their heads.
This week on Hatteras Dan @.
Oden admitted that he did not re-
call seeing the shark, but said,
give heard my Uncle Dek talk
about it. A 12-foot oar laid across
its head reached exactly from eye
to eye" Oden's "Uncle Dek" was
the late Dexter Oden.
"Uncle Irv Stowe can tell you
all about that shark. He was at
the landing the day they towed it
in from the reef out in Pamlico
Sound. He was probably the per-
son who did the measuring" said
Lloyd Styron, another Hatteras-
man. But "Uncle Irv" was not
around on the day this story was
recalled.

BOY DISCOVERS $500 FISH
CATCH AT OCRACOKE I'D,

Murray Fulcher, a boy in the
eighth grade at Ocracoke school,
used his head last Saturday to
the tune of $500. He was surf
casting on the beach when he
noticed a large school of drum
off-shore, in fact one of them
was already pulling on his line.
He quickly pulled this one in,
then hurried down the beach in
the direction of truck in the
distance. When Washie and Bill
Spencer, in the truck, fortunate
ly with a hauling boat aboard,
were told of the school of drum,
they quickly drove down the
beach, got out their boat and net
and caught enough of the school
to yield them $500. Murray was
rewarded with a five dollar bill
and a big drum,

TITLES FOR CARS
STOLEN HARD TO
GET IN CAROLINA

A man from Georgia tried to
pull fast one on the Department
of Motor Vehicles the other day.
Tom Secresst, recently appointed
assistant director of the License
and Theft Enforcement Division
described the incident, unique be-
cause it happens so infrequently.
The Georgia cracker had stolen
car, parked a short distance from
the Revenue Building in Raleigh
where title transfers are made. He
entered, presented Georgia regis
tration papers and asked that
new title be ISSUED.
AS a matter of course, his ap-
plication was checked through the
Theft Divisions stolen car file. A
few minutes later puzzled clerks
approached Secrest's desk with the
queer transaction. He glanced at
it, jumped to his feet intent on
experimenting the man. But it was
too late. The cagey applicant, ap-
parently smelling a rat, asked a
clerk to direct him to the mems
room, and disappeared before Sc
crests could question him.
Later the disappointed theft Of
fetal phoned description of the
suspicious character to the Raj
eigh Police Department. Secrest
said local officers found the park
ed car, watched it for some time,
but the man failed to retaurn. The
vehicle, which was stolen original
ly in New York, was impounded.
Only two such cases of persons
attempting to register stolen cars
has occurred since the first of the
year according to Theft Division
officials. It's virtually impossible
anyhow since all title applications
are checked against a stolen car
file supplemented daily by reports
from the National Auto Theft Bu-
reau.
The License and Theft Bureau of
the Department is headed by Ar
chic M. Gilbert and administers
the states truck weighing pro-
gram as well as tracing stolen
cars.

CAPE HATTERAS SURF
ATTRACTING BIG BASS
By AYCOCK BROWN

BuXton.-1zaak Walton would
have questioned this, but seasoned
anglers along the Dare coast are
convinced that the best channel
bass fishing from Cape Hatteras,
northward to Mays Head, is dur
ing fresh northeasters.
Ed Wike, one of party of six
Taylorsville, N. c., anglers made
the initial catches during mid
morning. AS the fish started strik-
ing their mullet bait, the news
spread, and it was not long until
there were dozens of anglers on
the beach sharing in the catches.
The Taylorsville party dropped in
at Fuller and Hooper's store here
on their way back to Durant's
Motor Court at Hatteras to pick
up more bait. They weighed their
biggest fish, which topped so
pounds. Already their party had
landed six. Before the day had
passed they had accounted for IA
more. In the meantime dozens Of
fishermen were on the beach reel
ing in the big bass.
Wednesday was the 18th day
after the first big run of channel
bass had struck in at Cape Point
the day SO were landed. But the
fish have not been in the surf in
large schools each day. After the
first big run on November /, the
school moved offshore for a day.
On the second of November less
than half dozen were taken. On
the following day the fish hit the
breakers again, couple of miles
north of the Point. Plenty were
taken on that day. Since then, the
catches have fuctuated.
They were still talking about
the 5615 FOUNDER Capt. Bernice
Balance was displaying last Sat-
urday, but on Thursday here at
Buxton there was a report of 60
FOUNDER being landed, but details
about the angler who caught the
fish and other necessary data to
make it probably the largest TAX
en- along the Atlantic coast with
rod and reel this year was lack
ing.
In Hatteras, only a few anglers
learned of the big run on We'd
nesday. AS the members of the
Taylorsville party dressed their
fish prior to shipping the catch
home, Scotty Gibson observing the
dissection of some of the bass OBJ
served undigested hard crabs in
treir stomachs. That may have
been the answer to why the cham
mel bass were in the surf during
the heavy seas. They had followed
the crabs, which may have been
pushed shoreward by strong cur
rents to the oceans edge.
= That may have been the answer,
or it may not, because Warren
Jeanette, fishing pier operator at
Mays Head, will tell you that in
the Autumn fresh northeasteis re-
suit in channel bass catches from
piers.

MAINS HARBOR HEADQTRS.
FOR GOOD ROCK FISHING

Capt. Hugh G. Craddock of
Manns Harbor is one of several
guides who takes out parties to
enjoy good striped bass or rock
fishing, from the village of Manns
Harbor which is a central starting
point of this excellent sport at this
time of the year.
Among many good catches made
by parties in his boat Mary Jane,
was one made last week by E. K.
Howard and party of Lumberton.
In a short time they caught 60
rock averaging three to eight
pounds. Total weight was upwards
of 200 pounds.
