tendency the Dare County officials this year to
reckessy the front of Dare County going to
cost the people heavily in ways in years to come u
less corrective soon taken.
The Commissioners hope to get elected by showing the
other communities that their taxes will be reduced
this year. and such reduction is made it will be at the
heavy expense of the property along our coast.
Moreover there is nothing to guarantee how heavily
something which they have been doing steadily for several
years. and perhaps would be doing this were it not an
election year.
This is simply method of again taking Dare County
citizens for suckers and having been fooled before they
should not be again of them may be fooled
again.
Stop and think: The burden is being shifted until
the property along the Outer Banks from Haeras
Inlet norhward Cafeys Inlet and east of Pamco Roa
noke and Curituck Sounds is being made to yield four
fhs 80 of all the taxes collected in Dare County
vet contains only about twofhs of the citizens of the
county.
The bulk of this property is something its owners can

When occupied is by people who spend money here who
depart leaving burdens, children to educate, no
other costly expense to other Taxpayers really gravy
And they cannot vote here and that reason
the brains of the courthouse thinks it's smart scheme
throw the burden these people He doesn't own foot
property the whole while getting his living out OF
the taxes paid by these people.
Day after day. county officials tell folks I'VE are saving
you money We making the folks the beach pay your
bills Let's pick up while the going is good They've got
plenty of money"
Wait until you more of the 'for SALE signs going
up Wait until organize and take their to

citizens wake up to what has been done to Dare County,
you will have some county officials who will be ashamed to
show their faces, there any of shame about
them.

ONE RIGHT THE PEOPLE HAVE.

The people in this country still have the right to vote
They may secretly and without Interference at least
they should not be nterered with We taught that is

peoples right to change them.
The people up and refused to the stamp tax in
the United States When peaceful efforts failed they forcb
unoaded shpoad of tea in Boston harbor They rose in
rebellion against the tyranny of England Had they failed in
the attempt they would have been hung traitors Their
descendants call them patriots and praise their memory

they all this emphatica and then move heaven and

Two Thirds of Voters
Are Disregarded
When the vote was cast on July
8, 1866, returns were counted
showing the vote favorable to the
Buxton Jail in only four precincts.
And in one of these, Avon, was a
majority of one vote. Three pre-
cincts only favored the Manteo
Jail, and they were Buxton, which
was supporting the plan as a
trade, and in East Lake and Manns
Harbor where Chairman Claude
Duvall who welcomed the oppor-
tunity to spend the county's money,
got out 20 votes in Manns Harbor
and Is in East Lake.
The total vote for the Buxton
Jail, on Hatteras Island stacked up,
81 for it, and SO against it.
The total vote in Mays Head
township for the Manteo Jail stack
ed up 70 for it and LAG against it.
In all Dare County the vote
against the Manteo Jail was Ala
to 21S and the Buxton Jail 408 to
2O9.
Here are the returns by pre-
cinctS.

manufactured by an American
firm which first put out penicillin.
1t is known as Tao" but its cor
rect name is Triacetyl-O leando-
Mycin." The manufacturer says the
"Oleando" comes from the flower
ing shrub, Oleander. The earth
around the roots of this plant
contains a compound used in the
new drug. Scientists obtained soil
samples in every country in the
world. They took them from the
muck of the ocean floor and the
rarified air above the earth.
In the case of Tao, the sugar in
the Oleander flowers nectar led
to the discovery of the drug derivi-
time in the earth around the flower
roots.
Tao may replace penicillin in
treatment of acute cyetitis, chronic
intestinal bugs" tropical ulcers
and many other ailments, Il il
said.

through. A contract was let to a
builder whose record was highly
unfavorable because of the num-
Der of jobs on which he had failed,
and if the Board had been on the
job and responsive to their duty,
they would have known about the
record of this contractor.
When the contractor got on the
job, it looked like WPA days had
come back. The job was long
drawn out. Low grade materials
were stuck in and some were ruled
out. Several feet of wall first laid
had useless mortar, and was so
glaringly bad that it had to be
pulled down. Supervisors of the
work stayed drunk on the job, slept
through working hours, and allow
ed inexperienced and intoxicated
workmen to do much of the work.
The job dragged on, twice as long
as was needed, and the contractor,
after drawing all the money he
dared, threw up his hands, his
bonding company came and put
over on the County a completed
job, which is shame and disgrace
on any group of men who would
accept it and pay out the peoples
money. 1t is crude, and it should
be examined by every citizen who
knows anything about building, or
who has any doubts about the kind
of attention being given their pub
lie affairs by some of their present
officials.
The contracts called for an
$87, job, but it is going to cost
over 100000 to make a finished
job. Strange to say, the Commits
sioners have never given out any
figures showing just what they
have paid out to satisfy this mon
strous piece of folly of Melvin
Daniels and Lawrence Swain.
1t is not of record anywhere in
North Carolina that we have heard
of that a County Board has gone
contrary to the vote of the. people.
1t could not have been done in this
case had court action been taken
by any group of citizens. 1t merely
shows that there has been no fair
and competent Board of Commits
sioners, who against the wishes of
some members, and against the in
struction of the voters, allowed
Melvin Daniels, who is not Com
missioner and Swain and Duvall to
put this thing over.
1t may have been joke, but it
was generally told, that Chairman
Duvall, on getting news of the re-
turns of this $4,000 election, jump
ed up and declared: "We'll show
them who is running Dare Coun-
ty." Now if he said this, he might
have had something else in mind.
and folks sometimes say a lot of
things when under pressure. But
whether he said it or didn't say it,
subsequent actions prove that
Duvall, Swain, and Daniels do run
Dare County, and they don't al
ways pay attention to other mem
bers Of the Board, or the wishes
of the people.
1t has been a subject of discus
sion for sometime in Dare County,
that many things are acted on in
the courthouse, which are never
allowed to come to the attention Of
Commissioners Perry and New
comb Midget, the one usually OBJ
jecting to most things which call
for spending money and the other
not being informed. but OCCASION
