YOUNG DEMOCRATIC
CLUB ORGANIZED IN
DARE co. FRIDAY
Jack TiIIe+t Temporary Chairman;
Mrs. Dotty Fry Attending
Convention This Week
End

At meeting of some 25 per-
sons, a Young Democratic Club
was organized in Dare County
Friday evening of last week, and
Jack Tillett, young Manteo bust
nessman was named temporary
president of the club. Mrs. Dotty

named Secretary.
About five precincts in Dare

were named to begin organizing
precinct meetings in preparation
for another meeting to be held in
Manteo on October 18th at 7:3O
pm.
The meeting was opened last
week by DIR. w. W. Harvey Jr,,
who outlined the purposes of the
young Democratic organization in
the state, the work it might do,
and the need expected for it in
coming years.
Plans were discussed for hold
ing Democratic rally in Dare
County sometime in November,
probably toward the last of the
month. Horace Hooper and Leland
Wise gave an invitation to hold
it at Stumpy Point, offering to
furnish oysters for the event.
Some opinions held that the
first rally might be more largely
attended if held at the county
seat, it being more centrally 10.
Gated. This issue was left oper
for discussion and decision at the
meeting to be held on October
18th.
Plans are to bring some of the
state officers to Dare County fol
the November rally. Mrs. Fry, hel
husband, Wayland, and A. H
Ward, Jr. are attending the State
Convention being held this weel
in Southern Pines.

NORFOLK EDITOR PRAISES
HATTERAS INLET FISHING

E. E. Edgar, writing in the Nor
folk Ledger Dispatch last Thurs
day paid tribute to the blue fish
ing at Hatteras Inlet as follows:
''You can walk across Hatteras
Inlet on bluefish." That was the
way no less an authority than
Charley Foy, president of the
Tidewater Anglers Club described
fishing conditions on his return
from Hatteras early this week.
Foy, with his father, Henry Foy,
Joe Heller and Charlie Bentley,
fished Hatteras from the beach at
the Inlet on the week end. They
caught more than so big choppers,
from two to five pounds each, in
a few hours of torTid surf casting.
Anglers in boats in the Inlet
We're catching the fish by the
hundreds. Foy maintains that
water-skiiers were skimming along
on the backs of the blues instead
of on the water at times.
Further up the Outer Banks, at
Croatan Sound, anglers are now
enjoying some of the best trout
fishing ever. The weakfish, too,
are being caught by the score, if
not the hundreds. j. w. Powell and
companions from Norfolk account
ed for nearly so trout. They fish
ed from an outboard.

20 DAYS AGAIN FOR WILDFOWL
HUNTING PERMITTED; SEASON
OPENS NOV. Z; FEW CHANGES
Season Closing January IS With Same Bag Limits
as Last Year; Early Fall Offers Some Hope For
Better Shooting; Reservations Heaviest Ever
Noted For Accommodations in This Area.

Wildfowl hunters will again be
permitted 70 days of shooting in
the period set aside this year,
which is substantially the same as
last year, both as to length of
time and bag limits. The season
will officially open on November
7th, and closes on January 18th.
The early opening date usually
works in favor of these birds,
bringing, as it does, the larger
part of the season during the pre-
vailing mild weather of fall. How
ever, requests for reservations are
reported from many quarters as
the largest ever known, and some
forecasters predict an Autumn
more cool and blustery than usual
Blustery weather is often desired
by goose and duck hunters, as
birds fly more in windy weather.
On smooth, calm days they stay
on the ground and feed.
Bag limits on geese will be two,
and possession limit four; bag
limit on brant will be six a day,
and possession limit six.
Ducks, are beginning to show
up in quantity in some sections
according to U. S. Game Manage
ment Agent H. B. Hines of Kill
Devil Hills, who reports that Wild
geon, Blue Winged Teal and
Black ducks have come into the
Bodie Island area.
Hines Transferred
, 1t will come as a disappointment
to many that Mr.. Hines, who has
worked in the nearby territory for
over five years, is to be transfer
red on November 1, to the East
ern Shore area, with headquarters
in Maryland. Mr.. Hines is highly
regarded as an officer and citizen,
Arrangements have not been made
for replacing him, but at present
the territory will probably be
worked out of Washington. Mr..
Hines is from Wilmington, N. C.
Robert Halstead at. Washington,
N. C. is the U. S. Game Manage
ment Agent in charge of the state,
and he is assisted by George Ross
of Morehead City.

LIONS CLUB BEGINNING
SEVERAL PROJECTS ON
ISLAND THIS MONTH

Members of the Manteo Lions
Club have several projects under
way, with door--to-door solicita-
tions planned for the area.
Number one project fol the
moment is the annual Com
munity Birthday Calendar" Mem
bers are calling on families
and individuals to subscribe
to the calendar which iden-
titles patrons birthdays and we'd
ding anniversaries for the year
1858. Calendars are seventy-five
cents each, with listings costing
% cents each. This drive will end
about the latter part of the month.
Another drive is scheduled
shortly-the annual broom sale
being delayed temporarily because
of delay in delivery of brooms.
This sale will offer several types
of brooms, and the entire Roanoke
Island area will be convassed.
White Cane Drive
lhe local organization with CO.
operation from members of Man
teo High School classes will con-
duct White Cane Drive begin
ming October Z lasting through the
18th. A canvass will be made of
all homes in the area, and dona-
tions are requested in any amount.
One-third of the monies collected
remain in the community for aid
of blind, the remainder going to
the State Association for it's work.
The State Association uses its
funds for many purposes: eye
care, providing glasses for needy,
braille literature, etc. 1t is point
ed out that there are 1900 blind
in North Carolina and that half of
all blindness can be prevented if
corrective measures are taken
early enough.
The local organization has no
set goal for monies, but it is
hoped that sizeable sum may be
realized. The Manteo Lions Club
recently purchased 10 pairs of
glasses for local residents, amount
ing to some $4,000.

BIG CHANNEL BASS HIT
DESPITE FOUL WEATHER

From Southern Shores to Ocra-
coke came reports of the best surf
fishing of the season as Septem-
Der ended and October began.
With Northeasterly winds and rain
during the past week end, the
weather was just about as foul as
it can get, but the fishing in the
surf and from ocean piers was
unusually good.
Harry Tillett of Elizabeth City
caught 32h pound channel bass
in the Southern Shores sector Sat-
urday, one of several caught in
that Kitty Hawk beach region dur
ing the past week end. Operators
of the Kitty Hawk Pier reported
that through Tuesday no large
channel bass had been taken by
anglers fishing from the piers but
that plenty of puppy drum" the
young of channel bass that weigh
from one to five pounds, were
brought aboard.
Down in the Mays Head sector
at Jennette's Pier it was a differ
ent story. In addition to plenty of
puppy drum, starting on Septem-
Der 81 through Sunday, the 10Th,
total of eight large channel bass
were landed on the pier. Included
in the eight was the largest re-
ported during the past. week end
taken from anywhere along the
Dare Coast.
The big channel bass, a A.
FOUNDER, was landed on Saturday
by Mrs. A. H. Bunting of South
Norfolk. She was using cut bait.
On the same day W. Randleman
Jr. of Winston-Salem brought in a
37-pounder while fishing from the
pier. On the previous day, Septem-
Der 81, B. B. Barbour, Arlington,

BUTLER BUYS THE FOREMAN
TYRRELL TIMBER HOLDINGS
FOR $442, 900; MILL PLANNED
Some rs Million feet on | 700 Acres Transferred
This Week to Virginia Concern; Sawmi Con-
tempIa+ed at Travis. Near Columbia; Almost
Last Bio Stand Of Timber in The Area.

Columbia. - A large timber
transaction was recorded in the
Tyrrell County courthouse Mon,
day, this week, when all the land
and timber holdings belonging to
Annie Woodley Foreman, of Pas
quotank County, most of which is
in Alligator Township of Tyrrell
County DIETER known to the aver
age citizen as Foreman Blades
land) were transferred by deed to
Butler Land and Timber Co., Inc,
a Virginia corporation. The esti-
mated acreage of said sale and
purchase was 11,700 acres. The
revenue stamp purchased for deed
registration was $486.20.
For approximately the past year
surveyors and representatives of
the Butler Co. have been in the
county, surveying the holdings and
seeking purchase of mill site
property. According to statement
of one of the officials, they plan
to construct and operate mill
near Travis-about three miles
east of Columbia, and have in
their employment 35 to 40 persons.
The price paid, some $4,000, at
the prevailing stumpage values
indicate that estimates have re-
vealed something like 25 million
feet of timber on the lands.
News of a probable new indus
try in the Columbia vicinity will
be welcomed by labor and by
businessmen. 1t is we'll known that
the Butler Company has been in
terested in this area for several
years. This timber was about the
last unused big stand remaining in
Tyrrell County. There is much de-
mand for timber, particularly in
large tracts, which demand has
grown rapidly during the past sew
eral years as most of the forest
lands have been acquired by the
big pulpwood companies. The
Foreman lands, part of the origi-
nal Foreman-Blades holdings, are
owned by J. w. and his wife, An
ME Woodley Foreman of Elizabeth
City.

Editors Note: This is one Of number Of
historical articles written during the 1869
High School at Enaehard fought by Mrs
Ellen c. Watson.
Since 1900 Engelhard has grown
rapidly even though the popula-
ton of Hyde County has decreas-
ed. Since 1900, Engelhard has had
the proud honor of having four of
its citizens represent Hyde County
in the State Legislature. They
were Mr.. Lucus, j. B. Watson,
ST., C. w. Davis, and George
Davis.
The first auto was seen in En-
gelhard about 1912. 1t was Ford.
There was an old woman who
lived in Engelhard around 1900
whom the people believed to be a
witch. All the Negroes and many
of the Whites were afraid of her.
She told fortunes and was sup
posed to have healing powers. A
Mr.. Patrick had some money
stolen from him, and he wished
very much to recover it as he
needed the money for doctors
bills. He told Mrs. Neal, the for
tune teller, and they spread the
word that Mrs. Neal was going to
spread a hex and that the person
who had stolen the money would
bat his brains out on a tree. That
very night the money was left on
Mr.. Patrick's porch. Mrs. Neal
died about 1905.
Engelhard sent many of its citi-
zens to aid the American cause in
the First World War. After the
war, these soldiers returned to
their homes to farm and fish.
Engelhard has been incorporated
three times, but at present it is
not Incorporated. 1t once had a fire
department, mayor, town officials,
and at one time there was talk of
putting in a town water and sew
age system. Mr.. Long was one
time mayor Of Engelhard. Engel-
hard is not Incorporated now be-
cause many of the citizens refused
to pay town taxes.
Engelhard's bank was the only
one in North Carolina that failed
to close when ordered to do so dur
ing the depression. The bank did
not close because, with the bad
roads and mail system, the mes
sage reached Engelhard day or
two late.
