The Hidden Truth Behind the
Southern Negro and Integration'
A recent study of the South
ern Negro and indignation re-
vealcd that the Negroes no long
er concentrate on Indignation
they rather to the latter of rails
ing their standard of living eco
nomically, educationally, socially,
morally and politically.
In many cases the old made
quate housing facilities have Civ.
en- way to standard, and in many
instances fine homes of frame,
rock, brick, etc, they are adding
TO these homes, Libraries, play
rooms and all modern facilities.
Educationally we find increas,
ingly numbers of High Schools
which meet regionally, educa.
tional standard, better prepared
teachers and more alert pupils.
Counselling services are availa-
BILE in most of the High Schools
and in many instances more
than one half of the graduates
of schools pursue higher educa-
ton which leads into profession
and higher Enterprises.
Vocational trade schools dot
ted throughout fhe South are
hot beds for the small private
Enterprises. Study clubs are re-
placing or inferspersing the
old strictly social clubs. Many
Of them concentrate on raising
the social standards, morals
and cultural activities of Ne
gro youth.
Politically the slogan of the
Negro is Every Man Qualified
Voter In Every Election, and
Every Man a Vote"
They feel their sacred herit-
age are freedom, and equality is
INJURED in. the bosom of thor
ough preparation and human de-
cency.

LINDSAY D. HARRINGTON "a,
one of the most popular citizens of
Manteo for the past 65 years died
Monday morning at his home in
Manteo after long period of fail
ing health.
He was born near Creswell, son
of the late Alethia Davenport and
Joseph Harrington and the hus-
band of Mrs. Clara White Tark-
ington, formerly of Belhaven. A
son, w. w. Harrington of Manteo
and sister, Mrs. Nat McCabe of
Norfolk also survive.
Mr.. Harrington came to Manteo
as young man, as a salesman in
a local store, and save for a short
residence in Belhaven, had made
his home in Manteo ever since
He had constantly been associated
with the mercantile business, anc
retired from the well-known Tark.
iington's grocery a few years ago
At one time he was in partnership
with Judge w. F. Baum, and they
built the first brick store in Man
| teoo.
Mr.. Tarkingtoon had been ac-
tive in civic and church affairs
He has served or many years as
Mayor of Manteo, had served or
the county board of education
Justice of the Peace, director OF
the Bank of Manteo, Deacon in
the Baptist Church, and he had
been active in fraternal circles.
AS a salesman and merchant, few
have ever equalled him in popu.
larity. He was man of agreeable
personality and neighborliness anc
charity. Many remember his rea-
| dy aid in time of difficulty. He
had retained his faculties to the
last, and had tender care and a
maximum of comfort, being spared
a painful passing.

When Democrats of Dare
awoke from their lethargy after
the election in November 1856 anc
found that this overwhelmingly
Democratic County had gone fol
| Eisenhower for President, few OF
them gave a thought to one who
was a large factor in this defeat
Of course the Democrats were pri-
marily responsible because OF
their neglect, and total failure to
do any prediction work, al
though having enjoyed vast bene,
fits under their party so long. In
1854 Lloyd Vernon Gaskili, retired
lighthouse keeper, and Eisenhower
supporter had been made county
chairman. With only three others
on his executive committee, the
homes of several of the larger
voting precincts had been flooded
with elaborate Eisenhower litera-
ture quietly and in the night thine.
Many women read, and they be-
lieved their boys would never have
to go to war.
Capt. Gaskill now enjoys the dis
tinction of being Republican Coun-
ty Chairman, and he gets a great
kick out of attending the State par
ty meetings. He is a member of
the District Executive Committee.
In 1856 he held the first County
convention of the Republicans in
Manteo in some Is years, and got
out 80 delegates.
Capt. Gaskill lives at Wanchese
in quiet retirement, having left
the lighthouse service at Coinjock
in 1913 where he was officer in
charge of the Coast Guard Buoy
Depot, which looked after numer-
ius aids to navigation on the In
land Waterway. Prior to that time
he had served % years at Bodie
Island light, where he relieved the
late Capt. Eph Meekins on his
retirement. He entered the service
in April 1912 at Hilton Head,
s. c. and has served in other sta
tions at Cape Romano, S. c., Pam
leo Point and Long Shoal River,
N. c. and Craig Hill Channel, Md.
He was born at Wanchese, son of
the late Joseph Lee and Sarah
Daniels Gaskill in October 1889
and his wife is the former Bertha
Davis and the couple has reared
four children.

DREDGING JOB
INTO WANCHESE
80 DAYS LATE

The starting of the Man e o.
Wanchese-O Oregon Inlet dredging
project will be delayed about 80
days as result of the protest of
the low bid of $46S,420 submitted
by the j. A. LaPorte Co. of Ar
lington, Va.
Col. H. C. Rowland Jr. District
Engineer advises that instead OF
the work getting underway about
July 1, it is estimated now, as a
consequence of the protest, that the
dredging will begin about the mid
die of July with March 81 as the
completion date.
The protest was filed by the At
kinson Dredging Co. of Norfolk,
Va, Immediately after the bids
were opened in Wilmington on
May 20. The Atkinson firm main
tanned h t LaPorte's dredges
were already committed elsewhere
and would not be able to meet
the requirements of the contract
specifications. Therefore, the La
Porte Bid and all of the others
had to be rejected. The work is
re-advertised and the secon d
round of bids will be opened on
June IL.
Atkinson's bid was $751;, 410;
Merritt Co. of Charleston, $685.

MANTEO AIRPORT
GROWS IN VALUE
TO AIR TRAVELLERS

Some $50 people made use of
to the Dare Beaches, and there
air travel on the weekend to come
were over 80 planes in on Sunday,
of which about half belonged to
members of the Pittsburgh Aero
Club who made their usual annual
pilgrimage to the Carolian. Man.
ager Bill Henderson of the Manteo
Airport reports gradual increase
in business, as airplane owners be-
come aware of the facilities offer
ed here near the Dare beaches,
with opportunity for air tax ser
vice to Cape Hatteras, Ocracoke,
and other places on the N. c.
coast.
Air travel for corporation execu-
tives, who are privileged to main
tain large planes, can mean a lot

DARE COAST TRAVEL
TO NATL SEASHORE
UP 81 PER CENT IN IS

Vacation travel to the Dare
Coast Outer Banks is showing g
substantial increase this year over
the first five months of 1858. The
travel figures are reflected in the
official tabulation of visitors en-
tering Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore Recreational Area, released
this week by Superintendent Rob-
ert Gibbs.
With a total of 66,613 persons
counted in 1859 as compared to
43,70O for the period January
through May, 1868, the increase is
approximately 81 percent, it was
shown in the report of the Nation
al Seashore.
The official count of National
Seashore is considered as one OF
the best vacation visitation bar
ometers for the Dare Coast-Outer
Banks.
The current report of National
Seashore shows that 1913 persons
visited the area in May this year,
a AZ percent increase over April
and a 10 percent increase over
May 1858.
Wright Monument
While the National Seashore
count reflects an increase in vista
ton, a decrease was reported by
Wright Brothers National Monu.'
ment. Only 1888 persons visited
the monument commemoratlng
first flight in May 1859 as COM
pared to 22,755 in May 1858.
Visitation figures to date IN
1869 at the Wright Monument has
been 44,92S as compared to 6l,S4S
one year ago.

ELECTION THIS
WEEK, SATURDAY

There is an election in Dare
County this week. The people liv-
ing in the Mays Head area be-
tween the Kill Devil Hills NUM-
cipality and the jigsaw road at
Mays Head, will have the oppor-
tunity of doing away with the
title: "No. Mans Laad." Over this
area, battles have been fought by
school enthusiasts of Kitty Hawk
and Manteo. For years there has
been contention among those citi-
zens who wished to send their
children to Manteo school, and
those who wished to take them to
Kitty Hawk, regardless. Two
years ago, they wished to partici-
pate in the school elections held
to build new structures for their
children. Through laundering and
trepidity of the School Board, the
area was left out of both bond is
sues. Recently they petitioned for
an election. which will be held
Saturday of this week, at Mays
Head, whereby the patrons of the
area may express their will at
becoming paying participants in
the support of the Manteo schools,
which most of them wish their
children to attend.
