.HYDE'S PROVIDENCE
CHURCH FEATURED
ON NEW COLOR MAP

CHICAGO.-Swan Quarter is
one of the 1872 places of special
interest to Methodists listed on a
large eight-page, gate-fold Metho-
dist American Guide for Tourists
that will form one of the special
features of the 175th Anniversary
issue of TOGETHER, Methodism's
family magazine.
The special issue, which will APP
pear in October, is being prepared
as TOGETHER's contribution to
the nationwide observance of the
175th anniversary of the Christ
mas Conference of 1884 at Lovely
Lane Chapel, Baltimore. On that
Christmas Eve, 60 young men from
John Wesley's societies" in the
new colonies converged upon Balti-
more to organize Methodism in
America as a church.
One of eight places in North
Carolina included in the guide,
Swan Quarters Methodist Church
is still a wooden building that was
moved by a storm in 1876. The
landowner previously wouldn't sell,
but convinced that Providence's
hand was in the tempest, hurriedly
made out deed to the Methodists,

HURRICANE Oracle MOVES
SLOWLY NORTHWESTWARDLY

Hurricane "Gracie," which is
giving coastal residents some con-
Germ this week, was reported
Thursday by A. w. Drinkwater Of
Manteo as being 240 miles east of
Palm Beach at IL a. m. Winds then
were in excess of 85 mph and the
hurricane was moving northwest
wardly at a speed of nine miles
per hour. Mr.. Drinkwater is hope
full that if the hurricane does not
change its course, it will blow out
without damage to the N. C. coast.
Small craft are advised not to
venture far from port in this state
after Friday, as some strong winds
are expected.
Mr.. Drinlwater says there are
now only three members of the
"relief crew" in Dare County, and
hope those who are interested in
joining will get in touch with him
right away. "The CAP is in need
of help" he says. Promise has been
given that in another ten DAYS the
Henderson squadron viii be ready
to assist, but this will not be III
time in case Oracle comes our way.

DECLINE IN BUSINESS OF
ABC STORES IN AUGUST

A loss in volume of business as
compared with the same month of
the preceding year was shown in
August for the first time since
November of 1858. Total sales of
the stores at Manteo and Mays
Head declined $1,747.17 despite the
biggest tourist month known on the
Dare Coast. Total sales for August
were $50, 420.59 as against SCI, 167.-
rs in 1858.
Volume of the Manteo store is
the lighter in summer months,
August sales this year being $14,-
S72.4O and in 1868 being $15,149.75.
Sales at the Mays Head store this
August past were $44,54S.15 and in
August 1858 $46,01S.00.
A decrease in personnel has been
effected in the stores during the
summer. Erwin Hines, a part time
clerk resigned at the first of the
summer. This month, Edwin Mid
gett left the stores after nearly Is
years service, and is now on annual
vacation with his family, visiting
relatives in California.
The stores contributed 3.42eo of
their August sales to Dare County
Tourist Bureau.
AS was reported some weeks ago,
the net profit on the July sales was
some $4,000, based on sales of
about $4,000, an increase of less
than $400 over July of 1868. Pay
ments made to the county are not
based on total profits, but money
is held in reserve for operating
capital for the stores. In some sea-
sons a larger capital fund is need
ed than in others.

High speed and booze are
blamed for the death of two Ne
groes and injuries to five others

FORECLOSURE SUITS
BEGUN IN DARE TO
COLLECT 7 AK E S
New Effort Headed by Capt.
TiIlett Results in More Than
$4,000 Recovered

Some $24,500 has been recovered
from persons delinquent in their
taxes since the Dare County board
some four months ago, began a
program to collect these past due
sums, some of them dating back
to 1912. Pennell A. Tillett, the tax
supervisor has notified all delin-
quents, and the results speak for
themselves.
Capt. Tillett is now urging all
who have not needed these notices,
to make arrangements to settle
these obligations, for suits are
being prepared for sale of property
to satisfy debts, and if the land
owners make an effort this week,
they can save themselves consider
able cost.
For many years county officials
made no effort to collect taxes
beyond mailing notices when they
came due, and accepting such
amounts as were mailed in or
brought to the courthouse. Appar-
emily no urgent means had been
taken to bring in backward ac-
counts, and numerous taxpayers
say they have never been asked
personally to pay, and some say
they have never been notified
through all the years, and protest
it was a complete surprise they
owed money. The custom has been
to accept payment of current taxes
without mentioning past due sums.
The County Board, believing it
not fair to allow so many persons
to evade taxes, and further being
faced with a growing deficit in
the county, has declared for a firm
policy in making all pay alike. The
unfortunate part is that through

with Mr.. r. A. Smith, local in
structor.
The Forester emphasized the i'm
portance of paper and paper pro-
ducts in our civilization today and
pointed out that the demand for
paper in the future would be much
greater due to discovery of new
uses and to the rapid increase in
our population. He told the boys
that in order to meet this increased
demand for paper, all forest land
should be put into full production.
Pitman told the boys that a large
portion of the forest land in Hyde
County is not producing half the
timber it is capable of producing
due to Gull hardwood trees and UNI
derbrush, understanding of pine or
other valuable species and fire
damage. The classes were instruct
ed on methods of controlling the
undesirable hardwood and restock-
ing the areas with desirable species.

CANCER CAMPAIGN
GOAL IN DARE IN
OCTOBER $1,000
Quota Not Raised Last Year
Combined With 1860
Quota

Preparations are underway to
raise the $1,S00 needed to meet
Dare County's quota for the cancer
drive for both 1859 and 1860. The
1859 quota was not met this year.
The drive will be held in October.
At a meeting in Manteo last
week, Mrs. Pat Wescott was named
chairman for the drive. Mrs. Bert
Tyson of Greenville who is area
Chairman attended. Mrs. H. o.

chairman; Mrs.eA. H. Ward Jr.,
End Vice-President and Service
chairman; Mrs. Nevin Wescott,
Secretary, Mrs. Mabel Basnight,
Treasurer and DR.. w. w. Harvey
Jr., medical adviser.
Dare County is losing many
people through cancer. Last week,
a young Wanchese man died. Mon
ey donated in these cancer cam
paigns is returned in large measure
to assist unfortunate persons
stricken with cancer.
The quota for last years cancer
crusade which should have been
held in April was 5000. 1t was not
raised. It's going to cost someone
a lot of time and expense of can
wasting in order to redeem Dare
County this time. It's going keer
aid from lot of sufferers if the
money is not raised. All credit
should be given those who do this
noble work.
