SATURDAY ELECTION
HATTERAS TOWNSHIP
FOR BEER AND WINE
Heavy Vote Expected to Answer
the Question Of Legal Sale
OF Beverages

Saturday is expected to bring
brisk activity to the township of
Hatteras in Dare County, when
citizens have the opportunity to
vote for or against the introduction
of legal sale of beer and wine.
Greatest support for the passage
of such measure is from oper-
ators Of motels, restaurants, stores,
etc.-who feel that the lack of
availability Of the beverages is a
handicap to their operations in cat
ering to visitors from areas where
legal control is an everyday part
Of life.
Hatteras Island for many years
allowed the sale of these beverages,
but in 1854 citizens became in
censed at persistent violations and
voted to discontinue local legal sale.
Since that time, the only controlled
sales on the island have been at
the Naval facility at Buxton, which
by Federal provision, is exempt
from local option measures. There
repeatedly has been a gradually
increasing amount Of "bootlegging'
in this field through the years,
which points up the fact that con-
sumption win continue-whether le-
| gal or Illegally those who insist.
The "pros" however, are not
without opposition, and the "con''
forces are said to have greater un-
lity in their movement TO vote down
the issue come Saturday. Church
groups in the affected communi.
ties of Hatteras, Frisco and Buxtor
have been rallying, and on Satur
day expect their numbers to count
heavily in answering the question
| The Dare Ministers Association
lin regular monthly meeting at ths
Manteo Baptist Church, Monday
Feb. 5 voted unanimously to renew
Its stand in opposition to the legal
sale of alcoholic beverages in DARE
County. The association also pledg
led its moral and prayerful sup
port to the dry forces of Hatteras
township in the election to be helt

he expected it to be a close issue

On Battleship In Pamlico Sound
MY last letter was dated from
Pamlica Sound, North Carolina, on
the eve Of the departure Of the ex-
petition to which / was attached
to attack Roanoke Island. The M
nors of an impending advance Of
the army Of the Potomac and the
distant sounds of victory from the
west reached US even there and
determined, immediately Roanoke
was taken, to hasten back to head
quarters ready to witness what
must be the most decisive and i'm
portant movement of the cam
paign-the attack on the Confed-
crate centre at Manassas. And

days, caused by the prevalence Of
fearful storms on the coast,
heartily sick of combined naval
and military expeditions, and
thoroughly determined to have
nothing more to do with them, un-
less / can first of all make a sat-

OF greater interest TO readers Of
this newspaper is a reprint from
the London Illustrated News of the
battle of Roanoke Island on the
9th of February, 1862. This ac-
count was written on February 2Ssh
and published March %, 1862,
which shows the long time neces-
sary for news to travel from Amer
lea to England in those days.
Washington, Feb. IS. 1862.
At the last tide of fortune has
turned in favor Of the North, and
the success attending the formula
BILE preparations Of the past six
months is now recompensing the
Federalists for the enormous ex-
lpenditure which has weighed
heavily upon them. In former let
ters ] have had occasion to notice
the improvement in the discipline
|of the Union Army, which has
been gradually progressing to-
wards a state Of efficiency under
the new Commander-in- Chief. To
brigade regiments, form DIVISIONS,
and appoint division generals,
were among the first tasks which
Nc lellan set himself to accom-
|plish; and, having succeeded in
these, he published q series of
general orders for the better reg
ulation and conduct Of military
matters, and providing for q more
thorough and perfect state Of dis
cipline through every branch of
the service.
The consequence is, that during
all these apparently idle months
the soldiers taslmaster, the drill
sergeant has been aboard and
now as the time approaches for
action the Federal Government
finds it has an army TO rely on for
support or vindication, astounding
lin It's numbers as the growth OF
only nine months, and wonderfully
efficient considering the short
period it has been in the field.
The combinations Of the General
in Chief are now being seen and
understood, and those who have
arraigned him in Judgment before
the court OF their displeasure
|are now compelled TO acknowledge
their error confuted by the sue
|eesses that have inaugurated the
first part Of new campaign. !.

One of the. outstanding Civic
boosters of Tyrrell County is
the Columbia Junior Woman's
Club which is composed of ac-
tive, and interested women of the
younger group.
Organized in August 1862 by
Mrs. Effie A. Brickhouse, who
was then President of District
rs of the N. C. Federation of
Woman's Club, The club in each
of the ten years has received a
1000 rating in the accomplish
ments Of state and local projects
as outlined by the State Fedora
ton. The club won an award for
putting on a program Amer
icanism" before the annual
State Convention at Wrights-
vile Beach, one year, and also
have received the citizenship
award for the district.
The prime local accomplish
ments have been the procure
ment of the Red Cross Blood
mobile for its semi-annual
visits to Columbia, to assure the
Tyrrell County citizens of ready
blood when needed. The second
is the library interest as it re-
'lates to children. Summer read
ing clubs and Saturday MORN
ing story hours at the Tyrrell
County Public Library have
been carried on since organiza-
ton. Taking turns, members
have aided the librarian with
the telling of stories, leading
singing and the reading of
stories, and have furnished
light refreshments at each of
these gatherings. The reaction
of the children to library posi-
bilities and the love of books
has been particularly noticeable.
Since its adoption, the Junior
Club has contributed to the Tyr
rell County Scholarship funds.
It instituted school safety patrol,
and contributed towards expen-
ses of a Tyrrell County girl
to attend Girls State.

81 THRILLER

The Manteo Redskins stem
med q tide Of 6 tailed in the LIST
inning and came across with
the gam ewinning run in the
seventh frame to turn back q
determined Camden nine by the
score of 81 in a a thrilling
baesball game in Manteo Ball
Park on Tuesday.
The local club, which played
what Coach jerry Cahoon called
their most miserable inning
of play, when they gave up six
runs in the 1stl frame, parlayed
two 18th inning runs into the
the winning margin.
Pitcher Diclie Burrus, who
hurled beautiful 6 inning
game for the locals, also shared
in hitting honors as he joined
with Jerry Simpson, a star
slugger for the Redskins, who
matched Burrus's feat of two
base hits in the contest.
The Manteo scoring came in
the LIST, Bird and 7th innings.
The End inning runs came on
2 pair of singles by Burrus and
Simpson. With the scoreboard
chalked at PC in the bottom
half of the 3rd, Manteo drove
in four more runs to knot the
contest at Sc.
The big Bird inning for the
Manteo Club began with a
cracking single to center field
ibf Willett Tillett. G. G. Bonner
followed Tillett with a walk
and Tillett scored on an error
by the Camden shortstep. Beas-
ley then singled to center. A
pop.fly to 1st base created the
first out for the Redskins, but
Burrus singled and drove in
Bonner and Beasley. Burrus
stole second base and Tolson
flied out to left field. The fin
al run in the Bird came when
Johnny Daniels hit a grounder
past the shortstop which scored
Burrus on an error. Hooper
grounded out to end the inning,
Camden took the letd again
in the 9Th inning when they con-
verified three base hits into a 7-e
lead. The Redskins were unable
to rally in the bottom of the
9Th but held the Rebels score
less in the top of the 7th.
The winning run for Manteo
occurred in the last inning
when Jerry Simpson laid down
a perfect bunt in the direction
of third base which scored Ray
White and Willett Tillet, after
a wild throw to the catche,
opened the door to home plate
for the Redskins.
The game was the last home
contes to fthe seasons for the
Redskins, who have two con.
ference games with Knapp anc
