Yopon Factory FIourished
Dare County Had Unique Industry Operated by g. Scarborough
at Frisco Dare County Near Cape Haeras Years AGO.
A Complicated Process

The following is brief descrip-
ton of the methods now pursued
in the gathering and curing of the
tea, the particulars being cleaned
at firsthand directly from the pro-
prietor of the factory at the estab-
lishment itself. It may be stated
at the outset that the Yopon is
an evergreen and that it grows in
the greatest abundance on these
sand beaches of the North Caro-
lima coast, so that the only effort
required in the collection of the
product is the labor necessary to
go out and cut what quantity is
needed at one curing. 1t is not
even essential to cut with any
great degree Of discrimination as
the bushes are trimmed after
reaching the factory, anyway, and
anything not suitable can be very
easily eliminated there.
It is quite probable that in for
mer times, most of the more we'll
TODD families prepared the leaves
themselves, or at least had it done
on the premises, as heaps of round
stones, similar to those now used
in the sweating process, may still
be found around many an old
homestead in the section where
the plant grows. There We're also
men in every community who car
ried on the preparation of the
leaves as a regular business but,
until came across such factory
still in working order and turning
out the product regularly, l was
under the impression that the bust
ness was as extinct as the Dodo.
On Hatteras Banks, several
miles west of the Cape and right
alongside the high road between
Frisco and Buxton, I came across
old man Scarborough's Yopon tea
factory and from the manufacturer
himself secured the details of the
process as well as permission to
photograph the plant.
The Yopon, Yapon or Yaupon
is an evergreen shrub of the genus
lex (ilex volimtoria), sometimes
almost reaching the dignity of a
shrubby tree and along on the
sandhills of the oceans border for
the whole length of the coast line
of the south Atlantic States it
grows in thickets more or less
dense and plentiful, it being one
of the most characteristic tree
growths of the region. AS before
stated its original uses seem to
have been largely medicinal, it's
action being both purgative and
emetic. Now, however, perhaps
from the fact that as a beverage
it is used in a weaker infusion

cURRITUCK TO VOTE ON
ABC STORES SATURDAY

Voters of Currituck County will
decide the question Saturday,
March IS, whether that county
shall establish an ABC system of
stores. Twice before this measure
has been defeated in Currituck, but
proponents are now more hopeful
of success and plead that Curri-
tuck needs the revenue that might
eaderived from the stores, after
having lost the income that came
from the outlawed dog races.
The county has some 1000 citi-
zens. 1t has become a vast avenue
of tourist traffic. 1t is catering to
tourist business. Many people feel
that Currituck should take advan-
tage of much income they are los
ing to neighboring counties. On the
other hand, much opposition has
come from many of the ministers
of the county who have had consid-
cradle to say during the past week,
against establishment of the
stores.

ANCIENT SWORD AND
SCABBARD FOUND ON
BEACH NEAR COROLLA

An ancient sword and scabbard
believed to date back to the War
of 1872, and possibly to the per-
iod of discovery of the New World
by the English in Lost Colony days
was found on Currituck Outer
Banks this week by a member of
aircraft target crew Of Navy Duck.
Two or three other objects, SO en-
crusted with coral-like shell and
marine growth, they could not be
identified were found in the same
locality.
The tip of the scabbard of the
sword of gold or brass was not
covered with marine growth and
what may be an identifying part
of the find was a sea serpent or
dragon-like carving around the tip
of the scabbard. The handle of the
sword was also covered with she'll
like growth but its shape, some
what cup-like insofar as the hand
guard was concerned, was similar
to 18th century styled swords pic
tured in various encyclopedias.
H. A. Sargent, chief petty Off
Ger in charge of the target crew
detachment, stated that the sword
was found by Ernest Robertson AA,
of Moores Have, Florida, one of
his crew. eve will be reluctant to
give the exact location along the
beach where Robertson and our
crew members found these relics"
said Chief Sargent.
4 He indicated that during liberty
periods crew members planned to
continue searching the area for adj
ditional objects. Since the sword
was not definitely identified, the
Dare County Tourist Bureau man
ager who made pictures of the
finds, suggested that the objects
be sent to Smithsonian Institution
in Washington for Identification.
In the same general area of Cur
rituck Outer Banks during recent
years bits of chinaware and frag-
ments of metal were identified by
Smithsonian as dating back to
16th-17th Century periods. Some
historians contend that the "Trin-
ity Harbor" of the days of 10th
Century discoveries on what is to-
day the northern coast Of Dare,
was located at Caffeys Inlet
