contacts with world finance was
through the ports of this county.
That era ended and, without in
tending to be facetious or frivolous,
/ might say that our Islands We're
without an era for three quarters
of a century. Life went on, of
course, on our two Islands but the
main currents flowed past us. No
longer was there any direct con-
tact with the West Indies and the
Islanders turned inland. Elizabeth
City, a comparatively recent settle
ment, became the trading center
and, in a lesser degree, Norfolk.
Washington remained the inland
contact of the Ocracoke Islanders.
But the seeds of a new era were
planted. In the 1905 the U. S.
Lifesaving Service was reorganized
and strengthened. The telegraph
line was established from Norfolk
to Hatteras in 1874 and the U. s.
Weather Bureau set up. World
War One came and was followed by
a second and together they had an
impact that, as Time unravels the
story, greater than the destructive
weight of the Civil War that ended
an era. There were other influences.
The late Frank Kugler of Washing
ton caught the first drum at surf
casting and Lindsay Warren, a
disciple of Kugler's, went to WASH
ington as Congressman.
I think that the day Of the be-
ginning of the modern era on these
islands can be pin-pointed. It was
the day that the late Governor
Gregg Cherry came down, with d
great company Of other guests Of
the Standard Oil Co, which was
confident that on that day they
would most certainly strike oil in

play for the Dance. which will al
50 feature the browning of miss
Independence, the winner of the
Beauty contest.
Russell Johnston, overall chair
man of the celebration and all
members of the local American
Legion are extending an invitation
to the general public to come to
Belhaven and join in a days pro-
gram which is designed to furnish
entertainment for all. The Fourth
of July has become the date for
the annual trek homeward of all
Belhavenites, wherever they might
be living, and one of the outstand-
ing pleasures of the day is the
greeting of old friends and the
gathering of family groups. Many
others who are not natives have
come to feel that Belhaven is the
place to be on the Fourth, and they
will received the same friendly well
come this year as always.

TERRY SANFORD of Fayetteville,
won the Democratic nomination for
Governor Saturday in statewide
majority of we'll over $1,000 votes,
the total vote in the state running
to over $4,000 and an unusually
large one for a run-off and for
one in which so few candidates par
ticipated. In the four original
counties of the Southern Albemarle
Association, Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell
and Washington, Mr.. Sanford was
the leader. In Tyrrell he led better
than five to one over DIR. l. Beverly
Lake of Wake Forest. In Dare, he
won by more than two to one. His
vote in Tyrrell was 754 to 1874; in
Dare 952 to 474; in Hyde 726 to
511 and in Washington 1868 to
1852. He lost both Martin and
Beaufort Counties.
Mr.. Sanford lost in Currituck by
small majority, 7s1 to 756; also in
Pasquotank by 1868 to 1,713; in
Perquimans by 643 to 603; in
Chowan by 629 to GIT and in Cam
den by GIG to 418.
1t is of interest in Dare County
that those precints in which the
reactionary courthouse group had
welded most weight against Bonner
for Congress, and for Larkins for
Governor in first primary in some
other precints, went heavier for
Lake than for Sanford on Saturday.
However the only two precincts
which Sanford failed to carry were
Manns Harbor and East Lake,
which circumstance speaks for it
self. In the first primary in Dare
County, Sanford led by 872 with
Larkins following with $50. In the
run-off on Saturday, Sanford led
by 952 to 474, the total vote being
/, 426. In the first primary nearly
1000 votes in all were cast. Lake
then got only 238.
Out of a combination of Lake and
Larkin votes, Lake got his 474 votes
in the run-off. Peculiar circum-
stances attached to this election.
Some who were first for Lake,
then renounced in favor of San
ford, and by the day before the
run-off. We're back in the Lake
camp again. Some who professed
to be for Sanford, and working in
East Lake and Manns Harbor for
him, turned out to be not active
at all for Sanford, but were re-
ported quietly working for Lake. 1t
was a case of the usual straddlers
trying to be on the band wagon
without willing to be out openly.
Some of the Lake men are now

come successful in many business
and professional careers.
The Lost Colony Company was

professions today, but it also re-
suited in many romances that led
to marriages. There are members
of The Lost Colony today whose
parents or grandparents were in
the Company at one time or anoth-
er through the year.
Most illustrious of the shows
alumni perhaps is Andy Griffith,
one of the great stars of stage and
television today. Barbara Griffith,
his wife, was the first North Caro-
linian to play the leading female
role Of Eleanor Dare. She is a
native of Troy, he is from Mt. Airy.
Others in the entertainment
world and once in The Lost Colony

Note: This fascinating brief wos written
early in the yeor by the late Mr.. MoeNeili
Of Cope Hatteras who died Moy rs. u
wos presented to the N. c. Banking COM
mission. ond oquin read Monday night TO
the Monteo Rotary Club.
Throughout the era that ended
with the fall of two forts guarding
Hatteras Inlet in 1861 the forbears
of my neighbors on Hatteras Ocra-
coke Islands and in the towns of
the mainland west of the Seven
Sounds, did their banking in the
West Indies, usually on the Ba-
hamas or the Barbados and a
branch of a West Indian company,
established at Portsmouth 209
years ago, was the first bank in
North Carolina.
This arrangement waned and il
was replaced by a native-owned
bank when John Gray Blount, the
States greatest merchant and land
owner set his own financial estab-
Gshment with headquarters on Shell
Castle Island just off Ocracoke,
Blount owned a fleet of ships and
did most of the buying and selling
and shipping for the whole eastern
North Carolina. At one stage, his
operations made our local port
Portsmouth first, then Ocracoke
and finally, Hatteras among the
largest ON the South Atlantic
coast.
The plantation country to the
west of cur Sounds grew rich in
the century preceding the Civil War
and most of their trading was done
through the two Inlets south and
west Of Cape Hatteras. Their trade
was with the West Indies and their
banking was done usually with
British banks with branches in the
Indies. Even when banks were
established in Edenton, Washington
and other inland towns, their major

HATTERAS ISLANDS
FIRST FISHING PIER
OPENS TOMORROW
Rodan+he Site Of First Ocean
Pier, Costing $4,000 Popu-
laritY Expected

Hatteras Islands first fishing
pier will officially open tomorrow,
Saturday and is expected to have a
whopping business. For long be-
fore the pier was finished big
catches of large fish had been made
by those nervy enough to hang on
to the stringers. Roland D. Owens,
the well-known motel operator of
Rodanthe, heads Chicamacomico
enterprises which built the pier
and which will be operated by
Fritz Boyden.
Located IL miles south of Oregon
Inlet, the pier is near two old ship
wrecks which have long marked the
center of an unexcelled fishing To-
cation. Fishing is usually extra
good here during December and
January, as well as other months.
Its location is actually the most
eastern point of North Carolina,
and at this point more fish of many
varieties pass closer to the shore
than elsewhere. The pier is "a feet
wide, 800 feet long, located 20 feet
above the ocean, and is expected
to withstand any and all weather.
1t was built under special use per-
NIT of the National Park Service.
Special service facilities for it's
fishing patrons have been provided
on the shore end of the pier. Sam l..
Liverman of Colington, the con-
tractor began work on the pier in
May.
