ONLY TEN DAYS
BEFORE RUN-OFF
FOR HOUSE SEAT

With less than 10 days re-
naming before the second prl-
mary run-off for Dare's seat IN
the General Assembly, M. X.
Fearing, Jr., the incumbent and
Moncie Daniels, Jr., front-run-
ner in the May 26 primary were
both running scared.
Both were securing the coun-
ty earlier in the week for votes,
and neither seemed to be over
flowing with confidence. About
the only issue on which both
candidates were in agreement
was the almost dead certainty
that 429 voters who cast their
ballots for Wallace Gray in the
first primary would, in large
measure, determine who will be
seated in the N. G. House next
term. Assuming that the Gray
supporters do turn out in full
force next Saturday, who will
they support?
In an effort to determine how
each of the candidates felt about
the June 23rd primary, The
Coastland Times submitted two
questions on Thursday to each
of the candidates; both filed
their replies which are printed
following:
/. What do you think will be
the outcome of the election?
Moncie Daniels, Jr.: 81 feel the
people of Dare County are very
much interested in our future
and the program of progress /
have offered. / am confident they
will support this program. nj. X.
Fearing, Jr.: II feel that the
outcome of the second primary
hinges on who will receive the
votes of the supporters of Wal
lace Gray" II can only hope
that my Legislative record and
service merits the continued
support of the people of Dare
County and that their confidence
extends to the polls on Satur-
day, June 23rd."

OLD MACS HEAD
ROAD BUILDING
WORK DELAYED
State Proposes to Construct
Highway That Would
Serve As Drain

1t appeared this week that
several factors might delay in
definitely the rebuilding of the
Sound Side Road linking the
Mays Head beach with Old Mays
Head. The road was virtually
destroyed by the Ash Wednes-
day storm.
At meeting last Friday at
Mays Head Baptist Church, at
tended by owners of property in
Old Mays Head and others in
terested, State Highway Depart
ment plans for reconstruction of
the road were outlined.
In brief, the State proposes to
build a road sloping gradually
to Roanoke Sound from U. S.
Highway 1853 Bypass with the
idea that in the event of another
storm bringing heavy volume
of water across the beach from
the ocean, the road would act as
a flue, permitting it to flow into
the sound without obstruction
and with a minumim of damage.
Engineers say that no concrete
or steel construction would hold
up against such a powerful i'm
pact, and that the only fesibie
construction plan would have to
embody the principle of mini
mum resistance.
Property owners were divided
in their reaction to the proposal.
Some felt that a road high e.
nough to prevent flooding
should be built. Others suggest

A graveyard in the middle of
the road few hundred feet from
the Mother Vineyard, reputed to
be the parent vine of all the
Scuppernong grapes in North
Carolina, is the basis of suit
filed recently in Federal District
Court in Elizabeth City.
Wellington Ward of Norfolk
Va, grandson of the Wellington
Ward whose family established
the graveyard on his death in
1890, is asking $4,000 of the.
present owners of the property
surrounding it. He alleges the
fence around it was destroyed,
part of the site plowed up and
asphalt paving laid, and a hand
some cedar tree and shruberry
destroyed, thereby Decorating,
trespassing upon and depriving
"the aforesaid graveyard of the
solemnity and dignity to which
it was entitled.
Defendants in Suit
Defendants named in the suit
are the Mother Vineyard Inc.
R. B. Lennon, Guy Lennon
(deceased), R. Bruce Etheridge
A. ]. Kienzle, w. E. Lennon,
Kellogg Cuthrell Inc, ]. G. KEEL
lcgg, c. L. Cuthrell and Edna o
Cuthrell.
The Mother Vineyard has been
Roanoke Island landmark as
far back as memories and tradi-
tons reach. They say the Wal
ter Raleigh colonists brought the
( original vine from Hatteras
some 375 years ago, and that,
through the years, cuttings from
it distributed the luscious
: Scuppernong grape over Eastern
North Carolina and Tidewater
Virginia. The vine eventually
grew to cover several acres.
In 1912, Jesse E. Ward, son of
Wellington Ward, sold the pro-
perty to w. H. Basnight, papers
in the suit set forth, and reserv-
ed lot 80 feet square as a
graveyard. The nineteenth cent
ury Wellington Ward and his
wife and small daughter APP
parently were the only persons
buried there. In the early days,
a cedar was planted "to beau
tify and contribute to the dign-
ity and solemmity" of the burial
site, it is set forth, and the tree
grew to magnificent proper
tions."
Handsome Residences
In time, corporation was
formed, the Mother Vineyard
Inc, to make and bottle wine
from the famed grapevine, and
additional vines were set out in
the vicinity. This enterprise fin
ally failed, and in the last few
years much of the property ha
been developed as high class
residential subdivision. Many
handsome homes have been built
in the area, which fronts on
Roanoke Sound and Mays Head.
Now reduced considerably
from it's original 80 feet square
proportions, the little grave
yard today is surrounded by a
neat white picket fence. The
granite gravestone of Yelling
ton Ward is the only one, the
other graves lacking markers.
Cemetery Unique
The highway circles it on both
sides. So far as can be learned,
it is the only cemetery in North

very heart of Monument Valley
where the Navajos have establish

most outstanding sections of this
impressive area of reddi Sh buttes,

to explore the region is to take
