BLUES AND MAcKEREL ARE
PLENTIFUL AT HATTERAS


There are plenty of bluefish and
Spanish mackerel in Hatteras wa
tiers this week, and on Tuesday
two summer drum or medium-size
channel bass were caught in the
surf.
r. w. Kohrs of Winston-Salem
made the catch. His channel bass
Tor summer drum, as the natives
sometimes call them) were landed
from the surf at Hatteras Inlet,
according to Willie Newsome at
the Sportsman's Headquarters,
where the two fish Were weighed.
They weighed Is and 20 pounds
respectively" said Newsome.
This brought the total number
of channel bass landed in Hatteras
waters since last Saturday to a
total of three fish. An unidentified
angler caught a 17-pounder Satur-
day night from the surf.
One of the best bets for anglers
at this time, whether they fish
the surf with light tackle or 60
trolling in Hatteras Inlet are
bluefish and Spanish mackerel,
according to Newsome.
"The blues are ranging from
one pound to two pounds and the
Spanish mackerel from s/4 pounds
to three pounds, with an OCCASION
Al 5-pounder being taken" he
said

PLANS FOR FERRY
DOCK AT HATTERAS
CALLED A DANCER
Serious Traffic Hazard. and Com
muni+y Defrimenf Is View
Of Many Citizens.

Serious hardship to the commu-
nifty, and a grave wrong to a num-
Der of citizens is about to be done
at Hatteras by the State Highway
forces, according to several citi-
zens, in reference to the proposed
dock for the Hatteras Inlet ferry
to be established connecting with
Ocracoke Island.
In keeping with the stupidity so
often displayed by highway engi-
neers, who too often seek the
shortest way out of a problem, re-
CARELESS of the hardship it works
on nearby citizens, the commission
now proposes to set up the ferry
landing in the heart of the COM
munity, where any long line of
waiting cars will block the high
way in the principal part Of the
business area. Moreover, the high
speed at which tourists approach
ferry landing is expected to be
dangerous in this narrow, longest
ed, and curved roadway.
One of the most cruel features
of the plan is to condemn and
destroy two or three residential
properties, one of which is the
comfortable home of widow, and
another new home recently built.
The property is to be condemned
and taken by the state for pur-
pose which is considered by the
state only for temporary use.
1t has been thought all along
that the state would use the short
er ferry route leading from
creek near the site of the Hat
teras Inlet Coast Guard station,
formerly the Gooseville Gun Club.
An approach road to this landing
would serve a two-fold purpose, in
that it would provide an outlet for
some IL families not now served
by a modern road. But this worthy
project is ignored for the moment.
People, looking ahead to the
future, and the danger to the
community now about to be Great
ed by the highwaymen, cannot
understand the persistency with
which it is proposed to disregard
the rights of the people, unless
they are swayed by pohtieak pres
sure in behalf of a handful of
merchants who think they will
pick up a little trade out of the
cars parked while awaiting depart
ure of the ferry to Ocracoke. Ex-
perience at other places has
proved to the contrary, that bust
ness from such parked cars is neg
hgible.
Some of the affected citizens
have been forced to take time and
expense to go to Raleigh to appeal
to the authorities. This again
shows up the hardship that is be-
ing worked on the people since
Governor Hodges has been sue
cessful in removing highway af-
fairs from the people and center
ing them in Raleigh. Little COM
fort is expected from officials
more than 200 miles away from
community, officials who have no
acquaintance with the people nor
knowledge of their needs and
problems and too often only
cold-blooded disinterestedness.

OLD MACS HEAD .
Sentimental History Of The Old Sound Side Hotel Era
By EARL DEAN

"To much cannot be said
In favor of Old Mays Head;
Tar Heels can with rapture boast
This watering place upon our
coast.
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1957-07-26

came known throughout North
Carolina and Tidewater Virginia.
An item appearing in the old
"North Carolina Standard" a
weekly newspaper published at
Raleigh, dated August, 80, 1854
read as follows:
"Nags Head.-We learn from a
gentleman who has just returned
from there that the visitors at
this delightful watering place
number more than 500, and that
the ocean bathing is very fine.
Much of the intelligence, beauty
and wealth of the Old North State
are assembled there"
To accommodate this influx of
visitors who sometimes had to
travel several days to get there
the second and larger hotel was
built after fire had destroyed the
first. early in the 1860's. In 1871
one James Clark Perry and his
wife Augusta, who were natives
of Perquimans County, bought
most of the tract on which the old
hotel stood from the William H.
Happier estate. A large hotel three
stories high with porches all the
way around each side was built
by Tom Commander, an early
Elizabeth City lumberman, who
had the lumber boated down Pas
quotank River and Albemarle
Sound from Commanders Mill
which was, for a good many years,
a leading lumber business.
This second Mays Head hotel
stood at the waters edge on the
sound side and had long pier
running out from it into deep wa
ter in Roanoke Sound. Although it
proved more popular than profit
able, long annex containing some
40 bedrooms was added to it a
few seasons later.
According to old deeds and rec
ords in the Register of Deeds Of
flee at Manteo which were brought
here from Currituck County soon
after Dare County was formed
from part of it in 1871, this old
hotel changed hands almost every
season shortly after it was built
by Perry and Commander until it
was finally destroyed by specta-
cular Sunday afternoon fire early
in August, 1902.
C. Wilson Hollowell, ST., of
'.Bayside," near Elizabeth City,
had an interest in it for a good
many years. So did number of
other Elizabeth City, Hartford and
Edenton men whose families have
been coming to Mays Head for
generations, the Robinsons, Floras,
Lambs, Creecys Pools, Bradfords,
Sawyers, Whitehursts, Fearings,
Grices, Prudens, Outlaws and
| Whites.
One A. E. Jacobs. a Jewish
hotelman from Norfolk, Va, who
purchased it from Mr.. Hollowell
for $500 in 1886 was said to have
been instrumental in interesting a
number of wealthy Norfolk and
Baltimore Jews in establishing an
exclusive Hebrew summer resort
there. In any event several large
tracts of land in the vicinity Of
this old hotel were purchased by
Jews while Jacobs was there.
Jacobs, who was a likeable man,
evidently had considerable diff

ENGELHARD GROUP
GOES TO COURT TO|
SAVE HIGH SCHOOL
Two Suits Are Filed Saturday
against State And County
School Authorities

Two suits seeking to compel the
continuance of the East Hyde
High School at Enge1hard were
filed on behalf of a group of En-
gelhard citizens Saturday in the
office of the Clerk of Superior
Court of Hyde County in Swan
Quarter. The suits, one against
the state board of education and
the other against the county board
of education and the county
superintendent, are scheduled to
he heard before Judge M. C. Paul,
resident judge of the second judi
cial district, in Washington on
Friday, August 2, at pm.
In. the suit against the state
board, Che plaintiffs are seeking to
have the court compel the state
board to allot three high school
teachers to the East Hyde school
for the coming school year. The
state board on June 9Th allotted
three high school teachers to East
Hyde, but then cancelled the allot-
ment three weeks later in view of
the consolidation of the high
school at Engelhard with the high
school at Swan Quarter voted by
the county board of education. The
Engelhard group is contending
that the failure of the state board
to allot the teachers was unlaw-
full and that the state board is
compelled by law to allot the
teachers to Engelhard.
The second suit is against Tom
mic Gaylord, superintendent of
Hyde County schools, and Gratz
Spencer and Crawford Cahoon,
two of the three members of the
county board of education. In this
suit, it is alleged that the whole
course of action of the county
board and the superintendent in
attempting to assign the pupils of
East Hyde High School to West
Hyde High School is illegal. The
plaintiffs say that the pupil as
signment law cannot be used to
consolidate schools as the county
board is attempting to do.
: The plaintiffs are asking that
the judge issue writ Ct manda-
mus compelling the state board
to allot the teachers and the
county board and superintendent
of schools to undertake the neces.
sary procedures to enable the
East Hyde High School to open
on September 8 along with other
schools in the county.
The plaintiffs listed in the suits
are: P. D. Midget Jr., r. L. Gibbs,
E. D. Armstrong, Wilbur C. Gibbs,
A. G. jolly, Mrs. Bessie w. Jen-
nette, Willie X. Gibbs, w. S. 'Dud-
