TWO REMAINING SCHOOLS
ON DARE MAINLAND OUT

This year marks the end of the
two schools on the Dare mainland
at Manns Harbor and Stumpy
Point. The Board of Education this
week passed an order that the pu-
pills of the mainland could be bet
ter taken care of at Manteo, and
next year they will go the way of
the schools at East Lake and Ma
shoes.
Two large buildings will remain
at Stumpy Point and Manns Har-
Dor, and the problem will be to
turn them to good advantage. The
Mashoes school building was
brought to. Manns Harbor and
turned to good use as a lunch room.
The East Lake school was turned
over to group to use as commu-
nifty house, but 1t is being allowed
to come to nothing, when it might
have been sold for a residence, and
brought extra money back into the
school fund.

EVANS ERECTING
STORE BUILDING
NEXT POSTOFFICE

Construction began this week on
large store building in downtown
Manteo on the property of Charles
R. Evans, adjoining the postoffice
building, which he owns. The new
building will be two stories high,
of masonry construction.
The main section of this build
ing on the corner of County and
Fronts Sts., will be so SO feet,
and to the southeast an addition
80 so feet will be extended.
The store is on the site of the
former John w. Evans store, which
was operated by C. R. Evans for
many years until the fire which
swept the town in 1889 put it out
of business. The late John W..
Evans, an uncle of C. r. Evans
erected the store about 10 years
ago, during the time he ran one of
the biggest mercantile businesses
in the coastland.
C. r. Evans stated this week he
might rent the building, but
chances are he will establish a
business of his own on the proper
ty. The second story will be suit
able for conversion into apartment
or office space, or may be used in
connection with the store.

MAKEUP SCHEDULE
FOR DARE SCHOOLS
is ANN OUNCED
One day To Be Given For Pi-
rates Jemboree Participation;
Full Sessions on
Saturdays

Due to the closing of schools
during the recent freeze, all schools
in Dare County will be in session
on some Saturdays in order to
make up the lost days. Cape Hat
teras School will be in session on
Saturday, March 8 and March Is.
Kitty Hawk, Manteo, Wanchese,
Manns Harbor, and Stumpy Point
will be in session on the two Sat-
urdays: March Is and March %.
The Roanoke School did not lose
any days.
Besides being in session on Sat-
urdays shown above, each of the
schools will have only one day for
the Pirates Jamboree instead of the
two days originally scheduled.
Cape Hatteras will have a holiday
on Friday, April %, but will be in
session on Thursday, April "a. The
other schools will be in session on
Thursday, April "a, and Friday,
April rs.
An Saturday sessions will be on
a fullsix-hour schedule instead of
halliday schedule.
The Dare County Board of Edu-
cation regrets the necessity of
holding school on Saturdays to
make up the lost days but the early
tourist season which results in en-
ployment of many of the students,
and early opening dates for sum-
mer schools for teachers, made
Saturday teaching more advisable
than extending the school term at
the end of the year. The Board of
Education is requesting that all
parents cooperate in seeing that
their children attend school on the
makeup days in order that the
average daily attendance will not
drop. Allotment of teachers for
next year depends upon average
daily attendance this year and it is
to be hoped that absences will not
be responsible for decrease in
teacher allotment.

ROTARY CLUB ENDORSES
ALL-SEASHORE HIGHWAY
Petition 10 Governor Asks State to
0rsdee l.2oo-ft. Channel Info
Cedar Island Soon.

A petition, signed by many clubs
and citizens from Wilmington to
Dare County urging further sup
port for the All-Seashore High
way, received the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the Manteo Rotary
Club Monday night. The petition
was presented by r. s. Wahab of
Ocracoke, and for three days this
week he has been getting many
cndorsers for the project.
Principal object of the current
petition is to enlist state support
which win cost some $4,000 to
dredge 1000 foot long channel
from Pamlico Sound to Cedar Is
land, making possible landing of a
ferry boat which it is proposed to
operate between Ocracoke and U.
S. 10 in Carteret County.
It is sought thus to provide a
continuous highway route along
the coast from Mays Head to Ocra-
coke Island, and which would be-
come part of New York Florida
coastal route. Many people con-
template eventual completion OF
the road between Kitty Hawk and
Virginia Beach as a part Of this
route. 4

Citizens Hopeful for Change, But
Few TO Accept Responsibility

Reports this week indicate tina
there will be several candidates
for County Commissioner and may
be other offices in Dare County to
file before the deadline next
month. While practically every one
of the Commissioners have said
they did not intend to run again
this year, it is a rare thing that
one of them ever keeps this prom
Use, but does file and run again.
All the present Board may be
expected to run again, except
Lawrence Swain of Manteo who
said yesterday that he positively
would not be candidate for COM
missioner, and further that he
thought he had served long enough.
Friends of Hallett Perry of
Kitty Hawk report him as saying
he will not run, but do not believe
it will be the case, and that he
will change his mind. Newcomb
Midget of Waves has said several
times he would not run again, but
many believe he will change his
mind. Woodrow Edwards of that
community has said positively he
expects to be a candidate.

EFFORTS FAIL AFTER
FULL WEEK TO FLOAT
OREGON INLET FERRY

The ferry boat, Herbert C. Bon
ner at Oregon Inlet, is still ashore
on a sand shoal to the westward
of the main channel, after having
remained there since Thursday of
last week, when it ran off its
course during fog while being
skippered by Capt. Luther Mid
gett.
All efforts to float the boat dur
ing the past week have failed, and
one of the older ferries now used
as work boat which went to aid
it, is also ashore.
Assistance has been rendered by
men of Oregon Inlet Coast Guard
station. Cars remain on the boat,
but the passengers were taken off.
Other boats are keeping service
normal on a usual half hour sched-
ule across the inlet.
Plans now are to use a small
dredge owned by M. L. Burrus of
Hatteras to dig a, way out for the
stranded boat.

OF
DARE GET REQUEST
FOR TWO HARBORS
Petition Endorsed Seeking Drede.
ing To Permit Ferry from
Oeracoke to Cedar
Island

The dredging of harbors at both
Wanchese and Buxton were among
items taken under consideration at
Tuesdays meeting of the Dare
County Board Of Commissioners.
In attendance were all five COM
missioners, Chairman C. C. Duvall,
E. P. White, H. F. Perry, New
comb Midget, and Lawrence
Swain.
The commissioners unanimously
voted approval of a petition being
prepared by R. S. Wahab in sup
port of dredging project from
Cedar Island to Ocracoke to permit
ferry service between these two
points. This ferry service would
permit an uninterrupted flow of
north-south traffic by doing away
with the present dead-end that
motorists headed south encounter
at Ocracoke. This would bring a
considerable increase in the flow
of traffic through the Dare Coun-
ty area.
In the matter of the harbor
projects, a petition from group
of Wanchese citizens was present
ed asking that a short piece of
county ditch, located at Mill Land
ing, about $50 feet long by 80 feet
wide, be deepened to depth of
not less than 5 feet. 1t was pointed
out that the federal government
has made deep water channel
into the fish houses at Mill Greek,
but the petition stated that the
dock facilities are still not ade-
quate for the number of boats that
use Mill Landing as harbor, most
OF the present space being private
ly owned and taken up by boats
owned by the property owners. To
ask for bids on the project, the
following committee was appoint
ed: Melvin R. Daniels, Macon
Meekins, and Willie Daniels; this
committee will report to the com
mlssloners at the boards April
meeting.
N. F. Jennett appeared before
the board to ask that harbor
about 250-yards long be built at
Buxton, and he offered to deed to
the county the necessary land for
such a project. To investigate this
problem further, committee was
appointed made up of E. P. White,
N. +. Jennett, and Albin Fulcher
The commissioners voted unani-
mously to accept a contract for
county audits for 1867 and

The money will be allocated to
counties on the basis of recent
survey, according to announcement
this week. The recent survey in
Dare County made with approval
of the Commissioners, calls for the
following road improvements at an
expenditure of $22O,060.

UNCLE TOM FROM TRENT WRITES:

York the directors had a meet
ing and decided it couldn't go
on forever. 1t was a sad day.
About the same time, in down
state New York, Sophie Tucker,
knowed everywhere as "the last
of the red hot mamas," announc-
ed her retirement. Another old
landmark had fell.
Then in Washington, President
Ike stated again he was holding
steady fer that five-cent postage
stamp on mail out of town. Con-
gresham Barratt of Illinois sug-
gested that the first series of
these new stamps ought to carry
a picture of two pirates. ! would
suggest that the second series
have a picture of Jesse James
with his horse and gun.
But while things seemed to be
falling apart everywhere, there
was one ray of hope. Up in West
Sand Lake, N. Y, the. West Sand
Lake Association for Protection
against Horse Thieves held its
109th annual meeting. Now
there's a group Of fellers that's
got the proper determination. If
we had more like 'em, Smith
Bros. cough drops would still be
nickel and Sophie Tucker
would be announcing her plans
fer 1870.
Well, / set down when Con-
gress convened and wrote my
Congressman a letter. l told him
in nutshell, that | wanted more
farm relief and less taxes. fin
ally got a letter back from him
yesterday. 1t was a masterpiece
in butness, illness, and however,
ness. He promised little tax re-
duction but mixed the promise in
with little butness, and the if
ness and howeverness completely
outweighed the less taxness.
Them fellers can write more and
say less than anybody this side
of eternity or on the other side
of infinity.
But ! think the soil bank pro-
gram is safe fer another two
year. see where Ike got $1,000
SO fer not farming 46 acres on
his Gettysburg plantation. That's
the first time Ike's ever got his
hands on some good farm relief
money, and it's a mighty catch
ing disease.

Washington Franklin Baum of
Manteo has attained a long record
as a judge, having served the past
81 years as judge of the Dare
County Recorders Court. During
last year, he reports that his court
handled 552 cases and turned over
to the county close to $4,000 in
fines and costs.
1t was in 1881 that he became
recorders judge. He was named
by the Dare county commissioners,
under the law by the legislature
shortly before which created the
court. He was in the mercantile
business at the time, he recalls,
and was asked to take the office
after two previous appointees had
been offered it and refused it. He
agreed to give it a try, somewhat
fearful at first that it might inter
fere with his work at the store.
He admits that at times his court
actions may have offended custo-
mers, but says he believes that,
looking at the overall picture, he
