sailors were taken into the Cape
Hatteras Boat, the others into the
Big Kinnakeet boat, and the third
life-saving crew took charge of
the ships boat. The landing
through the surf was effected
shortly after dark without greater
mishap than the "over-ending" of
the empty boat, though not with
out difficulty and danger. The cap
tain was sick and exhausted and
all the men were wet. They We're
conducted to the station, provided
with dry clothing and made as COM
Portable as circumstances permit

eral days, the vessel went to pieces
and became with her cargo a total
loss. On the goth the shipwrecked
people desiring to proceed to their
homes were put on board a wreck
ing steamer bound to Norfolk.
The Captain, before his departure
on January 20, wrote to the Cen
eral Superintendent of the Service
as follows:
"Sir: wish to tender my thanks
to Capt. B. B. Daley and crew, of
Cape Hatteras Station, Capt. z. G.
Burrus, of Durant's, the surfmen
at Creed's Hill, and Capt. D. M.
Pugh and Crew, of Big Kinnakeet,
for their prompt assistance render
ed to me and my crew of nine men
wrecked on Hatteras Shoals JAN
uary 18th. We struck the shoal at
4:30 am, the vessel breaking up.
1t being thick, we could not have
been seen from the shore. We had
to leave ship in the long-boat, and
were taken up at sea by the above
named life-saving crews, taken to
the station, cared for, and treated
with the greatest respect. We lost
everything we had, and without
the assistance of the life-savers it
is more than likely we would have
been lost, leaving no one to tell
the tale but by their hard work
our lives were saved.

Gallant Deeds of By-Gone
Years in The Waller
Raleigh CoasiIand.
WRECK OF WALTER MASSEY,
ON DIAMOND SHOALS,
JANUARY IS, 1889

The barkentine Walter S. Mas
sey, of Philadelphia, from Per-
nambuco, Brazil, on her way to
Hampton Roads, Virginia, for
orders, ran upon the Outer Dia-
mond Shoals off Cape Hatteras,
North Carolina at half past four
o'clock January 10, 1889, during a
dense fog, and soon filled with
water.
She was valued at $4,000, car
ried a crew of ten men and valu-
able freight of sugar worth $780,
600, all total loss. AS the accident
occurred some nine miles south
east of the Cape. Hatteras Station,
(Sixth District, Sthe thick weather
prevented the vessels being seen
until half past 10 o'clock, when the
fog lifting, the surfmen on the
lookout discovered her situation.
He at once notified the keeper.
The latter telephoned to the neigh
boring stations-Big Kinnakeet on
the one hand and Creed's Hill and
Durant's on the other-for assist
ance, then made preparations to go
to the rescue as soon as the two
surfmen who had been sent on
patrol because of the storm, should
return and give him a full crew.
1t was therefore nearly noon before
a start could be made.
The keeper of the Durant's Sta
ton soon arrived with the Creed's
Hill Crew and boat, and the force
was shortly further increased by
the arrival of the Big Kinnakeet
crew with their boat. The three
surfboats were now launched and
pulled out through the heavy surf,
shipping several seas in the at
tempt, but getting safely across
the bar. They proceeded toward the
wreck and upon reaching the outer
slue met the bark's crew making
for the shore in their own boat.
The station men hitched their boats
together and taking the other in
tow, set out on the return. Getting
inside the outer bar, five of the

"NICKELS" MONEY USED
IN WEEVIL RESEARCH

Much of North Cardinals alfal-
ia crop was saved this year by the
alertness of agricultural research
ers and farmers who identified and
treated for the dreaded alfalfa
weevil.
The damaging weevil invaded
the States more than 10000 acres
of alfalfa and left its toll on the
untreated fields. Many farmers
saved their valuable hay crop by
applying the proper chemicals
proved effective in research tests
conducted at N. C. State College.
"Nickels for Know-How," the
States unique fund raising pro-
gram, made possible the initiation
of research studies dealing with
methods of controlling the plant
pest.
]. R. Dogger, "Nickels Scien-
fist" at N. C. State College, con-
Quoted studies on chemicals for
controlling the weevil and the prop
er method of application. This
study resulted in a savings of
thousands of dollars to Tar Heel
hay growers.
The program that supported this
work, Nickels for Know How, will
be voted on August %. Farmers
and other feed and fertilizer users
will vote on whether to continue
for another three years their pro-
gram Of self-assistance in agri-
cultural research and education.
The program is unique in the ma
ton. It costs most farmers less
than dollar per year to support
the more than so research prof.
ects underway solving problems in
North Cardinals agriculture.

OLD TIMES
Continued from Page One)

Mays Head Hotel Company or
ganized in Elizabeth City in 1891
with C. w. Hollowell as president,
and Frank Vaughan, secretary.
Oldtimers recall that Frank
Vaughan, who for many years was
a well-known Elizabeth City law
yer, had always been enthusiastic
about Mays Head. He even wrote
novel about it entitled skate
Weathers, Or Scattered by The
Tempest" a melodramatic story of
shipwreck and the life and times
of the early settlers there.
After it was acquired by the
Elizabeth City men John B. Brock
EFT, who was a partner in the
wholesale dry goods, grocery and
whiskey business there with J. B.
Flora, ST., known as Flora &
Brockett, was sent to Mays Head
to manage the hotel.
During the several seasons that
Mr.. Brockett was manager of the
Mays Head Hotel it was popular
place indeed. 1t boosted ten pin
alley, a large bar on the pier in
which drinks were served over the
counter, and numerous other
modern" improvements including
the "Nags Head Railway" which
offered rapid transportation to the
beach by means of horse and
wagon drawn over wooden tracks
laid on the sand between the sound
side and the ocean front. C. w.
Overman and Will Morris, two
avid Elizabeth City horse fanciers,
were managers of this enterprise.
Two round trips were made to the
beach daily the time required be-
ing 80 minutes. The wagon had
seats for 10 passengers and the
fare each way was 25 cents.
Round and square dancing was
enjoyed each night in the dining
room of this old hotel where after
supper had been served the tables
and chairs were moved out ON the
porch to make room for a crowd
of barefoot dancers. Many people
never thought of wearing shoes at
Mays Head in those days. Music
was furnished by native Mays
Headers with their accordions,
fiddles and harmonious.
John B. Brockett proved a gen.
ial and popular manager of this
old hotel during it's hey-day. But
in all probability he was a bit too
good for his own good for when
he passed away in 1901 at the
early age of 45 years Colonel r.
B. Creepy, friend and neighbor
Of many years standing who
edited the weekly Elizabeth City
Economist" was moved to COM
ment that his untimely death was
due, perhaps, to his good nature
as we'll as his too frequent visits
to the saloon which was located
on the pier near the hotel.
Soon after the turn of the CEN
tury this old Mays Head hotel was
leased to John z. Lowe, of Nor
folk, Va, who was operating it at
the time it caught fire and burn
ed to the ground. During the ex-
element that Sunday afternoon in
August, 1902, the managers wife,
portly woman, died Of heart
attack.
This old Mays Head hotel was
succeeded by the Albemarle Cot
tage which was built on the Sound
Side in approximately the same
location some years later. After
having proved equally as popular
it was swept away by storm in
March, 1888, thus ending the hotel
business on the Sound Side at
NaCs Head.

Candidates Have
Until Aug. IS To
File For Offices

Candidates for the newly created
post of County Judge have until
August z to file for the office ac-
cording to information released
this week. The office will be filled
by an election on a non-partisan
ballot.
To file for the office, the aspir-
ant must have a petition signed by
at least one per cent of the voters
of the last general election. In the
case of Madison County, it would
be necessary to have approximately
$50 names on the petition to be
safe.
According to the information re-
ceived, there are no special qualifi-
cations for the judge to be elected
in November, but after few years
the office must be filled by quail
flied lawyer, unless the incumbent
succeeds himself.
The salary Tor County Judge in
Madison County will be somewhere
between $2100 and $500. Commits
sioner George Taylor said the sal
ary will partially be dependent up
on the business handled. Some of
the cases for the next two years
may still be taken to Mayor s
Court, and later all will be handled
in County Court.
No Madison Countians have filed
for the office, and no definite ans
wer has been given as to where the
office of such a court would be To-
Gated, but it was assumed that it
would be in the county seat.
The August z deadline also ap-
plies to those candidates wishing
to file for village offices, and other
positions to be filled in the voting
of the November election.

Plagued BY Growing Pains
West jefferson School System Sees
Growing Enrolment Problem Now

through a projection of the pres
ent enrolment in the first three
grades of elementary school.
The almost certain rush of new
families in areas now being read
led for home construction will
probably make the present build
ing plans too small before they are
actually completed. No efforts
have been made to halt the SUBJ
division development around the
present village limits.
Incidentally, the growing popu-
lation has given the village fathers
other problems. They have just
appropriated land to build sew
age treatment plant projected to
handle increased building for the
next 20 years, and their water
plant and streets, as we'll as police
and fire equipment will be expect
ed to increase to meet the obliga-
tons of the mushrooming housing
projects going up on most of the
outskirts.

City Police Jobs
By Civil Service

The names of three London men
now serving as provisional Police
Department Patrolmen have been
certified to the City Safety Direc-
tor as satisfactory for permanent
appointment to the City Police De-
partment.
]. K. Coberly, clerk of the Civil
Service Commission, certified the
names of the patrolmen to the di-

ings in the recent Civil Service Ex-
aminations were Wayne E. Henry,
800; Robert F. Cox, 80.6 and
Cleveland J. May, 1877.

tification that two additional men
may be appointed to the force to
fill the posts, but that they must
be appointed on a provisional
basis. He emphasized that appoin-
tees to the provisional positions
must be no younger than 81 years
and no older than 81.

Preserve Acreage

The Madison ASC County Com
mittee announced today that corn
