Fairfield and Engelhard.
The scope of the new paper
quickly broadened. In August,
1885, Victor got a special edi-
ton for the Hyde County area
which attracted much interest
and led ultimately to the organi-
zation of the Southern Abe
marie Association dedicated to
the interests of a large area
that had no paper Of its own
the counties of Tyrrell, and
Hyde.
Originally, the association
plans covered only Dare, Hyde
and Tyrrell Counties. Represen-
tative C. Wallace Tatem of Co
lumbia and w. Warren Watson,
chairman of the Hyde County
Board of Commissioners, were
among its most enthusiastic
supporters. A Washington Coun-
ty delegation at the organiza-
ton meeting in Columbia asked
that that county be included,
and it was. Several years later,
Martin and Beaufort Counties
Joined up.
The association has had diff
ficulty at times in agreeing on
immediate detectives; but with
the Times, voicing the prime OBJ
jectives it has become a mighty
factor in advancing the best in
terests Of the area it serves. It's
first major successful project
was the Albemarle Scum d
Bridge, near Edenton. Another
was the Croatan Sound Bridge
linking Dare County's mainland
with Roanoke Island.
Latest major achievement
credited by many people, to the
Association and the Coastland
Times is the Oregon Inlet
Bridge, now under construction
and due to be completed early.
in 1864. Of highest Importance
in this, as well as in the build
ing of the Alligator River
Bridge, was the work Of State
Senator Lindsay C. Warren of
"the original Washington"
Warren, who had retired after
many years in Washington, D.
c., as Representative in Con-
gress from the First North
Carolina District and as us.
Comptroller, had led a fight in
the North Carolina Legislature
in 1869 which resulted in the
State Highway Commission
committing itself to the build
ing of the two vitality important
bridges.
In late 1899, the Times was
on a firm enough footing for
a major expansion. The first
step was the establishment of
the Hyde County Herald, with
Charles Bond Of Windsor as
first editor. He was succeeded
by Thomas E. Spencer, who held
the editorship for many years.
Spencer is now on the staff of
the Washington Daily News.
The next step was establish
ment of the Tyrrell Tribune, in

Columbia. Its first editor was
George M. Kelley, now political
writer for the Virginian- Pilot in
Norfolk, Va.
The two satellite" papers
flourished until World War II,
when suspension of the Alliga-
tor River ferry, tire and gas
rationing and other wartime re-
strictions made production inn
possible. The papers were print
ed in the home plant in Manteo,
as was a third, the Belhaven
Pilot, founded in late 1948.
After World War II, the
Herald and Pilot were CONSOLE
dated and continued to appear
until about three years ago,
when they and the Dare County
Times were combined with the
Coastland Times as a single
newspaper serving the entire
area.
Editor of the Pilot and Herald
was Pratt Williamson, now in
the Electronics Division of the
Air Force. He is stationed at
Keesler Air Force Base in Mis-
sissippi.
Meanwhile, there had been
physical expansion as well,
Some IL years ago, the nucleus
of the present building was
erected as a newspaper plant,
A 16-foot addition was built
four years later; and continu-
ing growth has made necessary
"a second addition now under
construction two stories high,
with 10000 more square feet of
floor space. This, it is hoped,
will not only take care of pres
ent needs but provide for fore
seeable future needs.
The Coastland Times is pri-
marily, but not entirely, a FAM
lily enterprise. Victor's wife,
Catherine Deaton Meekins, join
ed the staff after rearing a FAM
lily Of two sons and a daughter,
and is still a key figure in the
organization. Francis Warren
Meekins, the younger of the two
sons, went to work on the paper
as a lad of Ia and, in his
fathers words, worked like a
veteran and assured the success
of the business. His father de-
scribes him as the most compe-
tent all-round weekly newspaper
man he has known.
The other son, Roger Meek
ms, chose a career in aviation
and now is a captain in the Air
Force, stationed at Selfridge
Air Force Base, Detroit. The
daughter, Mary Blanche Meek
ms Darlington, lives with her
husband in Chapel Hill, where
he is an assistant in the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
The family also owns the
business. In 1858, Victor. assign
ed his stock in the corporation
to his wife and three children,
who hired him to edit the pa
per until he became acting post
master of Manteo in March,
1861; a position he now holds.

U. 5. Requests
Barnett Case
Court Master

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6
(AP) THE Justice Department
has asked the Federal Appeals
Court to appoint a master to
take evidence on whether Mis-
sissippi Gov. Ross Barnett has
complied with court orders in
the James H. Meredith desegre-
cation case.
The Justice Department said
it felt the appointment of a
master was necessary because
Gov. Barnett, while contending
he is not in contempt of court,
did not present any evidence
Of what specific actions he had
taken" to purge himself on a
contempt citation.
The 5th United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals found Gov.
Barnett in contempt for his
part in attempting to block the
enrolment of Mr.. Meredith,
29-year-old Negro, at the Uni
versity of Mississippi.
The court set his punishment
at a possible $4,000 a day fine
and imprisonment until he has
purged himself, but has not
imposed any penalty.
The Justice Department, in a
memorandum filed late yes
terday, said it realized APP
pointment of a master to take
evidence would delay the courts
final decision.
But, 1t said, in view of the
fact that Mr.. Meredith is at
tending the university, and the
Governor has ceased overt in
reference" the need for quick
action no longer exists.
At the same time, the ap-
pointment Of a master, the
Justice Department said, would
enable the court to determine
precisely what he Gov. Bar
nett) has and has not done to
comply thus far with the
courts orders"
The Justice Department
noted that attorneys for Gov.
Barnett, in two hearings before
the Appeals Court, did not say
what the Governor had done
in the way of issuing orders to
various officials to comply with
the desegregation order.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov.
GA lawyer in one of the

Campaigning by lawsuits has
