finds himself in competition
with men on the make and,
worse still. seemingly required
to become a "yes" man to the
.UBC's big wheel.
His effort to get ahead at
the Office finds him falling
farther behind at home where
his wife seethes with suspicion
that something happened to
him during the war that made
him different. This is a mess
to try a mans soul. The screen
scripts revelation Of the trials
every tormenting twist gives the
verdict a neat suspense even to
those who read the book.
"The Man in the Gray Flan-
mel Suit" is a movie that moves
on commuters trains. up and
down skyscraper elevators, on
suburban Connecticut's rural
roads. It is dramatically useful
movement, suggesting the ten
sion of a chap with the pro-
fessional problem Of getting on,
the family one of telling his wife
about the girl in Italy during
the war.
At the center of this move
ment, Peck is an arresting fig
ure. He has fought a war for
decency only to find on his re-
turn to civilian life that he must
keep fighting. In scene after
searching scene, the battle could
not be more intense. The big
scenes: That in which he says
mo" to the tycoon about the
latter's big project and the more
dramatic one in which he re-
veals to the wife that he left
an illegitimate son behind in
Italy.
Peck's subdued, solid portrait
of Tom Rath is but one Of sew
eral expert jobs on the Palace
screen. Fredric March has sell
dom been better than as Hop
kins, the UBC big wheel who sold
his soul to big business and
doubts its wisdom.
The women's performances are
equally potent, Jennifer Jones
as the ruefully restless wife: and
Marissa Pavan as the six weeks
sweetheart of the hero in the
heartbreaking loneliness Of war;
time Italy. Ann Harding as
Mrs. Hopkins and Gigi Perreau
as the tycoon's sullen. embit-
tered daughter are two other
Standouts.
These, with Lee j. Cobb's por-
trait of the toweringly virtuous
Judge Bernstein, add up to a
galaxy of performances that
should provide candidates for
1865 Academy awards.

When they were underneath

They took me into the kitchen.
They were all talking at once

"Oh, the most awful thing has
happened! The king has been
turned to stone and so has Prin-

Their mouths dropped open
and they stared at me.
"Oh, do something's" I cried.

ceiling. Next he put his card,
on the table and laid his head
in his hands. Then he looked
hard at Miss Brash, Mrs. Keen
the dummy and the spot on the
ceiling. in that order.
Finally he picked up his cards
and made a play that brought
the kibitzerS up in their seats
He led the four of hearts.
When Mrs. Keen turned up
with the jack. the contract was
doomed. Mrs. Brash won with
dummy's queen and pulled the
trumps.
She started on the clubs and
Mr.. Meek won and banged down
the king Of hearts. When he
was in with his other high club
he won the setting trick with
the ten of hearts.
Let's see how Mr.. Meek figured
out that sensational lead at trick
two. First the ace, king and
queen of every suit but spades
were showing.
And as to the spade suit, even
Miss Brash would have five
spades to the ace-king for hex
overcall. Thus there would be
no spade tricks for the defenders.
On the bidding and the lead
OF the deuce Of diamonds, Mr..
Meek figured Miss Brash had a
singleton and one diamond trick
was the limit.
In clubs Miss Brash had bid
two no-trump over the two-cluh
bid and therefore must have some
kind of a club stopper. What
could this be except four clubs
to the jack or the jack-ten?
If the latter were the case
Miss Brash could set up two good
clubs in her hand on which two
heart discards could be made
from dummy.
So Mr.. Meek decided the heart
suit had to be attacked before
Miss Brash got even one shot
at the club suit. He was SO
right. One lost tempo" and the
game would have been made.

The last time any part of the
territory of Hyde County was
taken away was in 1870, when all
that part Of the banks or barrier
reefs, lying between the sound
and the ocean, beginning at Hat
teras Inlet and extending to New
Inlet, was by Act of Assembly
creating Dare county, made a part
of Dare. This act left nothing of
the banks to Hyde except Ocra-
coke Island, which lies between
Hatteras and Ocracoke Inlets. This
island is twelve miles long and one
mile wide. These banks first form
ed a part of Currituck county and
were afterwards given to Hyde,
and taken from Hyde to give to
Dare.
1t is evident that the early set
tiers of Carolina, about the Abe
marie and Pamlico country, were
English and French Hugenots. The
Hugenots had come hither to avoid
religious persecution at home. We
are unable to ascertain the precise
date when the first settlers made
their home in what is now Hyde
county. 1t is probable that Hyde
County, then a part of Bath pre-
cinct (Which will be remembered
was first a precinct, then raised
to the dignity of a county, and
afterwards divided into three pre-
cincts, as before stated in these
pages, was settled about the time
or very soon after Albemarle coun-
ty, which seems to have been first,
but how much sooner is not known.
Hawk, in his history, on page II,
says, unable, however as we are
to trace with certainty the various
exploring companies that visited
Carolina of one particular we are
sure, that as early as 1866, very
considerable settlements had been
formed from Virginia, on the
northern side of Albemarle
Sound"

on the history of Hyde County that were
recently located in the files Of the University
of North Carolina by Mrs. Soy Fisher, sec
retory in the U. S. Fish and Wildlife office
at New Holland. Persons interested in the
history of the orea find very little written
infolalofion on the subject, and will Un-
doubleday welcome the reprintins of old
articles.
Hyde is one of the oldest coun-
ties in North Carolina. 1t is stu
ated in the extreme eastern part
of the state. and its present bound
aries are the Alligator River and
Tyrrell County on the north, the
Atlantic Ocean and the Pamlico
Sound on the south, the Pamlico
Sound on the east, and the Pungo
River on the west.
The original division of the col
ony of Carolina was into the two
counties of Albemarle and Claren-
don, the former containing the set
Elements around Albemarle Sound,
the latter that of the Cape Fear.
There were then no settlements
between the two localities. AS
people began to move south from
Albemarle and settle the Pamlico
country, Bath county was created.
The present territory of Hyde
county was included in Bath coun-
ty. The necessity for the creation
of the new county is told in the
following order of the Palatine's
Court held at the house of the Hon.
Francis Jones, Esq, the 9th day
of December 1896.
"Ordered, that writts be issued
out of the several precincts of the
county of Albemarle for electing|
five burgesses for each precinct
to meet at the house of Thomas
Nicolo, the 18th day of January
next.
