Dizzy Gillespie
Has Troubles
in South America

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina.
The sensational tour of Dizzy
Gillespie is beng marred here
by racial prejudice. Though the
aggregation is being considered
the most successful entertain
ment ever offered TO the Argen-
tines. still it was most embar-
raising to have prejudice rear
its ugly head on the State De-
partment sponsored project.
A hotel management with a
large American clientele tried
to prevent the crew from stay
ing with it.
But the press jumped right
in-rapping the hotel and there
by followed the Argentine La
Dor Ministry which made it
clear that prejudice was foreign
its principles.
Local musicians unions tried
to keep Dizzy. too, from bring
ing out the boys. Here again the
Argentine Labor Minister had
TO come into the act and let
the crew through.

PROMISED TAX CUT FOR
DARE DOESN'T MATERIALIZE

The substantial cut in taxes that
some people had been expecting
as the result Of promises made
last year by the Dare County Com
missioners doesn't appear in sight
upon examination of the tentative
budget advertised this week. 1t APP
pears now that the citizens will
have a tax rate in the coming year
of 81 instead of the old rate of
80, despite the wiping off of the
$4,000 set up last year to buy
school sites, and which we were
told was the cause of the $1.15 rate
during the past year.
Instead of getting the benefit of
the % cent reduction due US, we
will get Is cent reduction, and
this despite a considerable increase
in property values this year.
In the course of events, there
will be another valuation next
year. In preparation for this the
Board has increased the appropria-
ton for tax supervisor to $10,350
for the year. 1t is planned to spend
$233, 973.80 to run the county this
year as compared with the $211,-
369.97 proposed last year, but
which was later increased.

OLD DARE COUNTY JAIL
PROVED STRUCTURALLY
STRONG. TOUGH BUILDING

After week of rugged effort,
beaten by a heavy steel hammer
welded by big dragline, the old
Dare County Jail, SO years old,
has been leveled to the ground,
They didn't bother to take out the
windows, some thirty pieces of
sash, some of it as good as new,
which might have been given away
to some poor fellow. Sash, glass
and all were smashed to pieces and
along with the bricks are being
hauled away and dumped into the
marsh.
The building, which could not be
replaced for $4,000 is said by
local builders to have been the
strongest one in Dare County. 1t
would have been good for another
so years. The outlay of a few
thousand dollars would have made
it an up to date Jail.
The old steel cage which con-
stituted the cell-block on the sec
ond floor has been saved, such of
it as is needed may be sent to
Buxton to create hand-me-down
Jail to satisfy those citizens who
crave a lookup for the people
down there.

OCRACOKE PONY PENNING
ATTRACTED MANY VISITORS

Ocracoke's annual banker pony
penning attracted a record number
of vacationists to the island this
week.
The penning which may be the
last roundup for the picturesque
animals which had long ranged the
dunelands of Ocracoke was held
at Berkeley Manor Ranchero, the
magnificent island estate of Sam
Jones, Norfolk capitalist.
Following the pony penning
which was filmed for television
and attracted many news photog-
raphers to the island, there was
a matinee and evening square
dance in the ranch house of the
Ranchero. Some observers said it
was all like the Ocracoke of olden
days.

WRIGHT MEMORIAL VISITED
BY 1882 DURING JUNE


Kill Devil Hills.--More than
twice as many people visited the
Wright Brothers National Monu-
ment here at Kill Devil Hills this
year than during the same month
one year ago, according to the re-
port of Superintendent Horace
Dough.
Last year in June there were
14,126 visitors and this year in
June total of 1892 were re-
corded. This is an indication that
the Dare Coast is having banner
vacation season so far for 1866.
During the first six months OF
1856 total of 41,046 persons
were counted as compared to 3d.
$40 through June 80 in 1856
Dough explained that a more ac-
curate count is possible this year
because all visitors are now count
ed automatically, i.e., by an cleo.
tronic devices which counts the au-
tomobiles entering the area. Ar
avrage Of SIS persons are aboard
each car.

OCRACOKE ISLAND
FILLED UP WITH
VISITORS JULY 4
Pony Penning at BerkIey Manor
! Ranch; Big Day Ends With
Old Time Square
Dance

Ocracoke, July At is reported
that Ocracoke saw the biggest
crowd yet for their July 4 celebra-
ton, with visitors crowding in
from all directions, and many ask
ing for rooms in homes because
all vacancies were filled. The
ferry ran all day on July 8 and
many of the people coming in by
car and not knowing the terrain
found themselves having to be
towed out of the sandy beach and
helped on their way. Many planes
brought visitors from Raleigh and
places nearby and all joined with
the visitors, a number of Hatteras
folk and the residents in enjoying
the days program.
At the pony penning held at the
Berkeley Manor Ranch in the morn
ing, only three or four colts were
sold as the residents were loath
to part with their stock. Sam
Jones, owner of the Berkeley Manor
Ranch, held a square dance at 8
pm. and gave many prizes to the
best dancers, besides serving re-
freshments to all Corners.
The evening closed with the big
square dance, leaving everyone
with the memory of great day.

lists for the suggestion this week
that they pay additional money for
the use of any more bridges and
some roads in the east, as suggest
ed by Governor Hodges. Neither
will many people be able to see
why the people in one section must
pay an additional cost, while the
rest of the state goes freeR
In Morehead City the Governor
was quoted as saying that a 'tre-
mendous growth in population and
growing needs for service in the
coastal areas "have changed his
views about toll free roads in this
state.
Well, the west and Piedmont
have grown in population and de-
manded more service, and have
gotten it without extra toll. In fact,
they always got their needs filled
first, while the east had to wait.
The east suffered a lot while wait
ing; all through barren years they
paid a heavy penalty. While not
complaining about this, because
everyone could not be served at
once, it doesn't seem quite right
now to tack an additional penalty
on the east and its visitors.
Governor Hodges thinks the AL
ligator River bridge should be
built, and the whole coast opened
up down through Ocracoke and in
to Carteret County. This would call
for expensive service across Pam
lico Sound; enlarged ferry service
across Hatteras Inlet, and a bridge
across Oregon Inlet.
The Governor has recently Wis
tied Corolla and is aware of the
we'll organized movement to get a
road built, connecting Dare County
with that area, and Virginia
Beach.
| He is also quoted as saying the
| people should bind themselves 30
not ask that any toll bridge that
might be built, be made free until
| after it is paid for. There will be
difficulty in finding exactly who
has the authority to bind the citi-
zens and travellers who are invited
to our state, into any compact of
this nature. No matter what public
official takes it upon himself to
make this pledge, he will only sub
ject himself to criticism and make
himself vulnerable to any candi-
date who pops up and attacks him
on the ground that he has sold his
people down the river.
