MANY CHANGES ON
FISH MARKETS IN
NORTHERN CITIES
Very Few Of Old Timers Left Of
Those Who Kept N. c.
Industry Going

There has been a decided
change on the wholesale fish mar
kets of Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York in the past 25
years. In those days the firms
which predominated the markets
had been in business many years,
and their names were household
words on the N. C. Coast. The
principals of these firms came to
visit their fishermen friends, at
least once a year, visited in the
households, loaned money to the
fishermen, and some people even
named their children for them.
Through the years, many of the
old pioneers in the wholesale fish
business have died off; their
businesses have fallen into other
hands, some of them have changed
hands several times, sometimes
they get into the hands of sharp
ers and fly-by-night operators
who often gyp the fishermen; but
in most cases, when these old,
well-known firms are bought, the
new operators hang on to the old
name because it is known and
respected.
1t is difficult to find more than
one or two firms on either of the
markets, still operated by the
founders of these firms, or which
have been continuously operated
under the management of the
same family. In New York, among
the two or three there, is the lead
ing firm of Ackerly & Sandiford,
headed by Charles S. Ackerly who
has operated on the market for
40 years. Associated with him in
ownership is Charlie Strang, a
younger man, but who has spent
his life on the market. Ackerly &
Sandiford was founded 40 years
ago, by the combination of the
markets of Mr.. Ackerly and the
late Richard Sandiford, both well
established on the market, but nine
months after the partnership was
formed, Mr.. Sandiford had to
leave the dampness because of
poor health, and sold out to Mr..
Ackerly.
This firm enjoys utmost respect
among fishermen of North Caro-
lima. For many years it was repre-
sented by the late J. S. Wise of
Stumpy Point, and more recently
by R. G. Nixon, also of Stumpy
Point.
About the only old time firm
going on the Philadelphia market,
which has not changed hands, is
the Huff Fish Co., founded SO
years ago, by the late Edwin S.

SOMETIMES COSTLY
TO PLEAD GUILTY
BEFORE COURT DAY
Dare Recorder Hears Smaller
Court. But Still Mostly
Traffic Cases

It's not always the best idea to
plead guilty, although many times
it's the cheapest. However, one
man of Mays Head this week
found himself the worse off by a
$25 fine and costs of $500, when
he submitted to Recorders Court
on a charge of disturbing the
peace, and saw his two compan-
ions go off scott free.
A neighbor had complained that
Mack R. Tillett, Walter B. Gray,
and S. Ed Adkins were disturbing
the peace and making too much
noise in general. At the end of
a long, hard summer, the three
were relaxing on the premises of
Mr.. Tillett at Mays Head. Police
officer Ed Mason brought charges.
Mr.. Adkins submitted to the
charge, in effect said he was
guilty of public inebriation, and
Judge Baum fined him $25 and
costs.
But when court day came, the
complaining witness failed to show
up. The court turned the other two
men loose.
In the same court, Clarence St..
George of Buxton was found not
guilty of reckless driving. But
fines of $40 each and costs were
paid by Cecilia Midget of Mays
Head, Betty Jean Coles of Virgin
ia Beach, and w. R. Etheridge,
Jr. of Wanchese for speeding at
IS mph. For using improper IL
cense plates Burnell Shelton of
Manteo paid SIS and costs. w. w.
Daniels of Wanchese paid SIS and
costs for driving a truck at so
mph. Doris Jane Twiddy of Manns
Harbor paid $25 and costs for
operating car without a drivers
license.
Claude A. Maynard, a convict
serving time for larceny of car
in Durham County, who escaped
from the road gang at Wanchese
June 10Th and was recaptured,
was held for Superior Court. Ros-
coe Turner, Henderson, paid $50
and costs for public drunkenness
on two counts-Sept. ID and 18.
D. A. Rogers Jr. of Manteo ap-
pealed from a judgement of $40
and costs for speeding on a street
in Manteo at 40 mph. Calls Neal
Winslow of Point Harbor was
fined $50 and costs for operating
truck with numerous defective
features, six counts in all.

ELIZABETH CITY'S
INDUSTRIAL BANK
EXPANDING FAST

More than unusual interest at
taches to the recent rapid growth
of the Industrial Bank of Eliza
beth City, which a few days ago,
noted the complete enlargement
and great improvement of its
banking home on Main Street.
This banks services have been
used greatly by citizens of the
Coastland in the financing of car
purchases, as well as many house.
hold appliances, and for general
banking needs.
Considerable interest also arises
because so many of the banks
officials and employees are Dare
County people. Its president, Lori
mer w. Midget was born at
Manns Harbor, son of Mrs. Matilda
Hudgins, now of Elizabeth City,
and the late Brad Midget. It's
executive Vice-President is an
other young man of whom the
homefolks have always been proud,
Melvin r. Daniels Jr. of Wanchese.
Norman C. Hopkins, the cashier,
is of Manns Harbor stock. And his
assistant, Ralph D. Basnight,
came from over across Alligator
River, in Tyrrell County.
The Industrial Bank is now a
large institution, and has rendered
much financial aid throughout this
section. It was founded in 1924
with resources of $50, 1000. 1t is
now getting close to 100000 in
resources. It weathered all the fl
storms of the depression
when so many banks went under,
and it has been growing most
rapidly since 1889. It's first Presi-
dent was the late w. P. Duff.
Miles Clark for many years was
head of the bank following Mr..
Duff. In addition to President Mid
gett, the directors are now c. w.
Ward, w. P. Skinner, w. w. Mas
sey and r. L. Garrett. The recent
enlargement of banking quarters
gives the bank twice the room it
formerly had available. It has
long owned the entire building
which it now uses.
