Crowds Spend Time
At Pamlico Beach
The largest crowd in the history of
Pamlico Beach spent the week end
and the Fourth of that popular re
sort, where the steady breezes from
the waters of Pamlico sound afford
a sure relief from the oppressive sum
mer heat. Pamlico beach hotel was
over-run early Saturday night, and
during the week end many visitors
sj.ent the nights in automobiles and
ir. the pavilion.
Many visitors came from distant
points in the state and were unan
imously of the opinion that from the
standpoint of bathing, fishing, and
coolness, Pamlico beach was the peer
of all the beaches. The beach rises a
bout 40 feet from the water's edge,
and is generouly sprinkled with shade
trees on all sides, land is fanned with
a "constant breeze from the ocean
which makes it delightful both dur
ing the day and night. The bathing
is in salt water, with a perfect sand
bottom which is free from sea-weeds.
The Pamlico beach hotel is becom
ing famous for the excellence of the
dining room service, and many of the
guests have remained over for the
next several days.
The thirty-odd cottages on the
beach are fast fillling Up with the
summer colony, and by the end of the
week a population of at least three
hundred will claim Pamlico as its
summer home.' -
The roads have been placed in ex
cellent shape, and it is less than an
hour's drive from the end of the pave
ment at Bath.
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Peel of Rel
eigli were here for the funeral of
his mother, Mrs. Martha I'e'el, Thurs
day.

Tragedy Occurs At
Wooten Family Reunion
Hillcrest, a resort near Kinston, was
the scene of a family reunion and a
tragedy on last Wednesday. It was
the annual reunion of the Wooten fam
ily, and members of that prominent
family gathered from all over North
Carolina and from as far away as
Georgia, to participate in the reunion
and renew friendships.
There were about 300 in attendance
and Judge Frank Wooten, of Green
ville was selected president. He had
just started his speech of acceptance
when he was informed that his son
iiad been drowned. He was only aix
years of age. Reports were to the
tffect that the lad fell into the lake
and disappeared beneath the surface.
The body of the lad was brought to
the surface in a few minutes by a
life Kuard but all efforts at resusci
tation were futile.
Most Cotton States
Increase Acreage
-
Cotton seems to be king in the
minds of the farmers of the South.
In the fifteen leading cotton states,
two thirds of them have increased the
acreage over that of last year. Only
two of the big cotton states, Texas
and Oklahoma, have cut the acreage.
Texas decreased its acreage one per
cent while Oklahoma decreased hers
two and two-thirds per cent.
North Carolina has increased one
•per cent in acreage, but it was re
ported as the third lowest of all the
cotton growing states. On June 26,
the condition was standing as 63 1 per
cent of normal. Virginia was 62 and
South Carolina 65, being the lowest
of all states^
Mr. Julius £. Peel attended the
North Carolina Bar Association meet
ing at Wrightsville last week.
THE ENTERPRISE—WIhLIAMSTON, N. C
With the same production per acre
that we had last year, the increase
in acreage will run the yield up
200,000 bales above the 1925 yield
which was a large one.
The crop condition for the entire
belt is, 75.4 of a full crop.

RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY
Whereas the death angel has en
tered the home of one of our broth
ers and taken therefrom a member of
that family, to wit, his child; we, the
members of the Junior Order of the
United American Mechanics, do here
and now extend to' Brother W. B.
Daniel and his family out heart-felt
sympathy and point him to the Great
Councillor of the Universe for fur
ther consolation. In contemplating
the loss of his son he will find much
solace in the never to be forgotten
thought so truthfully portrayed by the
poet:
"Life is real; life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal.
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
F. L. EDWARDS,
J. H. HARRELL,
