TWO CHARGED WITH
MALICIOUS BURNING
OF LANDS IN DARE
Thurston Gray and Van Buren,
Twiford Held For Grand
Jury. Result Of Fire on
Mainland.

Two Stumpy Point men were
held for the Grand Jury this week
on warrant charging them with
the malicious and felonious setting
afire of the grass lands of the
West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co.
Thurston Gray, and Van Buren,
Twiford were arrested on a war
rant sworn out by Sheriff Frank
Cahoon, charging them with the
crime on April 29th.
Judge Baum ordered them held
for the granu jury on May 20, un-
der bonds of $500 each. Gray's
bond was signe by his brother,
Bruce Gray. Twiford went to Jail.
He has a considerable prison rec
ord, and has served time for other
felonies.
This is the first action brought
in Dare County against anyone for
setting fires, and one of the few
warrants signed by the Sheriff on
information and belief. Woods fires
in Dare County have come to be
continuing and costly problem.
Some of them have no doubt been
set maliciously by persons piqued
about efforts to restrict trespass-
ing of one sort or another. It is
common belief also that other fires
have been set by persons accused
of trying to blackmail the owners
into employment. The subsequent
employment of some persons sus-
pected of such crimes has given
rise to the belief.
In Recorders Court this week
Judge Baum heard a number of
other cases. James Clay Bryant
was fined 500 and costs for driv-
ing while drunk. Tully W. Jones of
Aydlett also got the same fine
for the same offense. Jethro M.
Payne Jr. of Wanchese was fined
$40 and costs for speeding. Merlin
C. Tillett was taxed with costs,

CROATAN SOUND
BRIDGE COMPLETE
FOR INAUGURATION
Prospect Of Being Opened Early
in 1857. Contractor Says;
Weather Made Delay

1t looks as if the best we may
expect for the opening of the
Croatan Sound bridge will be in
time to enable friends of Governor
Hodges to drive over it en- route to
Raleigh about the first week in
January 1857 to witness his in
auguration.
John Loving, of the contracting
firm building this bridge, told this
newspaper this week that he
doesn't hold out hopes of complet-
ing the bridge before the end of
1856. This weeks statement is in
line with previous statements he
has made that he didn't see how
the brigde could be completed be-
fore about Christmas. In fact he
has said all along it would be late
in 1866 at the best, before it could
be finished.
Mr.. Loving said on top Of all
the weather set-backs that have
prevailed during the past year, the
unusually bad weather of this
spring has further delayed con-
struction. He says he sees no pros
pect whatever of getting the job
finished before Christmas.
The contractors have a given
number of working days in which
to build the bridge, and the actual
time of completion depends on
the weather. Leeway is given also
for other mishaps which might
occur.
At the end of the week, less
than so pilings remained to be
driven. The work of the floating
pile driver is about complete.
Deck and rail of the bridge is
complete for about 60 per cent Of
the length of the bridge from the
east end at Roanoke Island. Ma
terials are mixed at the Manteo
airport and transported by truck
to the job.

ONLY TWO WEEKS BEFORE
MAY rs PRIMARY; LIGHT
VOTE EXPECTED IN DARE

Due to the limited number of
candidates seeking nominations in
the forthcoming primary, a light
vote is expected on May 26 in
Dare County. Contests appear in
only three instances. A heavy vote
is expected in Atlantic Township
where four candidates seek the
nomination for commissioner. Jas.
Il. Murphy of Kill Devil Hills, O.
L. Baum, M. M. Meekins and Hal
lett Perry of Kitty Hawk are out
for this place. Mr.. Perry is a for
mer commissioner who served four
years, from 1913 to 1862.
In Mays Head township, James
w. Davis of Wanchese seeks the
nomination for board of education
against R. o. Balance of Manteo.
This may be a close race. There
are no other candidates for the
board of education with opposi-
ton. Mrs. Susie Briggs of Kill
Devil Hills is without opposition
for board of education in Atlantic
Township, Leland Wise of Stun
Ply Point is without opposition in
the Mainland district, Ellis Gray
of Kinnekeet and w. L. Scarbor-
ough of Hatteras are without op-
position for reelection.
The following commissioners
have no opposition for the Dem
ocratic nomination: L. L. Swain
of Manteo, C. C. Duvall of East
Lake, E. P. White of Buxton.
James w. Scarborough of Avon
is opposed for Commissioner by
Newcomb Midget of Waves. This
may be another close race. Mid
gett, two years ago, came within
six votes of Scarborough in sim
liar contest.
Two Republican candidates are
in the field, seking nominations.

LOST COLONY IN
NEW. YORK FINDS
BIGGEST AUDIENCE
Some 1000 Persons Witness Paul
Green's Drama in Metropolis
ian Opera House.
By AYCOCK BROWN

In New York City on Monday
night before an audience of 1890
persons filling every available seat
in the orchestra section and the
glittering Diamond Horseshoe" of
famous Metropolitan Opera House
The Lost Colony which in 1887
gave thew look" to the Amer
lean Theatre, presented four color
full scenes from the play which
never in its long history had been
presented anywhere except in
Waterside Theatre at Fort Raleigh
at the site of the original 18th
Century happenings on Roanoke
Island of the story it tells.
There for the famous plays "de-
but at the Met" were its author,
Paul Green, and Mrs. Green, Dick
Jordan, its manager, and Grace
his wife, who played role in the
show, Clifton Britton of Goldsboro,
its director, Mrs. Lucille Purser
of Mays Head who honored the
group of actors and many impor-
tant New York friends of North
Carolina at a coupon tea party
before the performance began, and
many others.
Perhaps the most important per-
son there to many people was
Richard Nixon, who studied law
at Duke University and is now
Vice-President of the United
States. The nations Weep was
there for a purpose, to present
awards to winners of the N. Y.
Journal-American's 18th Annual
Oratory Finals, an event along
with many added attractions, of
which The Lost Colony was one.
Jim Morton, an editorial executive
of the worlds largest circulated
afternoon newspaper which spon-
sored the events, was the man re-
sponsible for the great success of
the presentation which began at
o'clock and continued until after
midnight.

$4,000 PROVIDED TO
DEEPEN HATTERAS
CHANNEL TO INLET
Chief Of Engineers AIlo+s Money
From Special Fund To Open
Natural Channel

Continued effort in behalf of the
channel and harbor at Hatteras
meets with success. Congressman
Herbert Bonner this week was not
flied that the Chief of Engineers
in Washington had allotted SIS, 900
from his special fund to open the
natural channel from Hatteras
Harbor to Hatteras Inlet. This is
in addition to the construction of
a breakwater at Hatteras which
contract is now underway, and the
deepening of and improvement of
Robinson chanel which enters
Hatteras Harbor from Pamlico
Sound.
Through several years there has
been steady effort on the part of
the Congressman, which good sup
porting aid from several citizens
of Hatteras to get improvement
for this important harbor. The
harbor serves all the island of Hat
teras, and is more important now
than ever, since it is the only deep
water harbor on the island, and is
the distributing center for fuel oil.
There have been times when the
light plant came close to shutting
down because prevailing low tides
over long period prevented the
oil tankers from bringing cargoes
into the port.
There are four important fea-
lures to be considered in the inn
provement of this harbor, and trib-
utary channels. 1. The necessity
for breakwater to diminish the
force of the seas from Pamlico
Sound. 2. The maintenance of Roll
linson channel to a suitable depth.
8. The maintenance of the channel
between the harbor and the inlet.
a. The necessity now, because of
tremendous increase in boating, to

the race, the DPBA will add the
48 hydroplane class, the Pacific
One design hydros, and the DIE
runabouts.
According to Ty Balm, president
of the Tidewater Power Boat Rae
ing Association, the Manteo races
will be the first big affair for in
board pilots in this area.

dition of the new classes will bring

TWO DAY MEETING
OF 200 FARM AND
HOME AGENTS ENDS
Naes Head Hotel Host to Un-
usual Gathering in Dare
County This Week

One of the largest conventions
of the season for Mays Head has
been conducting two day group
meeting at The Arlington Hotel,
concluding on Thursday. Approx
mately 200 farm and home agents
of the eastern and northwestern
districts met along with admin
istrators and specialists of the N.
c. State College Extension Service.
Sessions were held in Dare
County Shrine Club where Exten-
sion Director D. S. Weaver of Ra-
leigh made keynote speech We'd
nesday morning and at The Airing
ton where a banquet was held
Thursday night honoring three vet
eran extension workers for their
long service.
Those honored included j. l.
Wagonor of Guilford County since
1924; Mrs. Grace Pope Brown,
home agent in Surry County for
10 years and Jere w. Bason, coun-
ty agent in Alamance County since
1887.
Weaver said one of the big prob
lens facing the Extension Serv-
ices and Nations agriculture is
how to provide the two million
low-income families in the country
with a good living.
Cup to now," he said, "no one
seems to know how"
Using as topic "The Overall
Extension Program and Signifi-
cant Changes and Trends in Agri-
culture" Weaver said, "The world
today nees more of the philosophy
underlying the Extension Service,
trying to help people help them
selves" He described the work of
the agricultural agency as putting
science to work for the benefit
of all.
The original aim of Extension
was to help farmers increase pro-
duction and thereby. enable them to
increase their income and release
workers to industry he said,
adding, "but in our changing sit
uation our work has become more
complex and involves many more
problems of the farm people"
Citing progress made by North
Carolina farm people in past 80
years Director Weaver pointed out
that "flue-cured tobacco produc-
ton per acre has more than
doubled; cotton and peanut yields
have increased by one fourth;
Broiler production has gone from
less than million in 1924 to almost
70 million in 1856; and diets have
been improved as the level of liv-
ing generally has been raised.
Looking into future Weaver sees
great potential in increasing egg
production, milk production for
manufacturing purposes and in
creasing horticultural crops in
many sections Of State. North
Carolina has q big stake in farm
Legislation since 66 percent of
States farm income is derived
from the six so-called basic crops
a higher percentage than any other
state of the nation" he said. Fol-
