I Cariarel Connly A Verger Of The Beaafert Hit- (eet. l?tt> * The Twta City Tine* (eel ItM) BUTOK1AL PACE TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1849 I i Hamstrings Connly Board Two months have pasted since Coui.ty Commissioner C. Z. Chappell became acting postmaster at Beaufort, thus creating a vacancy on the county board. Another commissioner has not yet been appointed and with all due reapevt for the wishes o( the incumbents to "(ind the right man," It's high, time the vacancy was filled. In times past a vacancy oft the county board bas been filled almost immediately. Perhaps "the boys" are waiting to see if Mr. CkWPeU will receive the postmaster's appointment ; if not, be wiJJ probably step back into the vacancy they are holding open on the board. Yesterday a delegation of approximately 25 men trorn vari ous sections of the county arrived at the court house to appear before the county board. They wiited until 11 a.m., one hour, and then were informed that there would be no meeting. Why? No quorum. Commissioner Lionel Pelletler was present. Chair man of the board. Dr. K. P. B. Bonner wis present. Commissioner Wallace Styron is sick, and we extend him sincere wishes far a speedy recovery. He made a supreme effort to be at last month's meeting when actually he should have been resting at home. Tildon Davis, Harkers Island, didn't show up yesterday. Ef forts to contact him by phone were unsuccessful. Therefore, only two members of, the board were piesent, Dr. Bonner and Mr. Pelletier. Three constitute s quorum. Members of the various delegations left their farms, their offices, their regular jobs, and used gasoline traveling to the courthouse. They had to return home, and if they expect to transact business with the county board this month, will have to come back next Monday. Two months i? long enough to find a commissioner to fill Mr. Chappell's place. If it isn't, it seems to us as though ex tremely weak efforts are being made and as a result, co'inty operation is hamstrung. Thf lace Etaaini as SchodnM Thursday's surfboat race is going to be hold in the vicinity of Port Terminal. Last Tuesday's editorial suggested tlut it should be held in the ocean. We were under the impression that the entire race last year was run in the surf and felt that since that was the first race ever staged, the precedent should b$ followed. D. G. Bell, a member of the Coat,t Guard planning com 1 mittees states that a contest of that sort arouses little interest unless it can be witnessed by the crowds who will attend the air and sea show at Port Terminal. We are inclined to agree. Furthermore, if the race were held in the vicinity of Fort Macon, spectators would undoubtedly be chased away because of > the "construction regime" there. Things are shaping up splendidly for Thursday's show. With a good-weather break, the 150th Coast Guard birthday party here should be a fine qelebration. Mr. Bell, and Robert G. Lowe, manager of the Morehead City Chamber of Commerce, declare that we in Carteret county will have the rare opportunity to see all phases of tho Coast Guard in action right here. Folks from hundreds and hundreds of miles away are going to make the trip to witness the show. Those who live here should the opportunity to see the celebration.

The police then can announce, "We've m*4e as arrest," a statement which makes people breatk eas ier.

HERE and THERE With F. C. SALISBURY, Morrhead City Principal G. T. Windell of the Morehead City Graded Schools is advertising for teachers for the coming school year for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. The following teachers taught these grades the past year: third grade, Mrs. Margurite Jones and Mrs. Ethel Holloway; fourth grade, Mrs.' Euth McRackan and Edith Lewis; fifth grade, Bettie Marker and Mrs. Bessie Wade; sixth grade, Mrs. Helen K. Jeffery and Flora Davis. A reader of our column says that we "not only cover the water front but the main drag, the side streets and he expects to see us coming down his back alley." We find that walknig about the city W( pick up more items of interest th^n w? do riding about at 25 or 30 miles an hour. We would like to call the attention of the street department to the weeds bordering the walks along several places about the city. The weeds are so high that those pn, each side of the walk about join, caus ing pedestrians to brush through single file. Two prominent plac es are the vacant lot next to the City hospital and the one opposite the Tidewater Power plant. Speaking of weeds and (rasa alpai tb? border of the ?? el an o}d- User about the city tailing hew the boys, after dark, would tie beck the overUppiec long (raw that bor dered the narrow faiht ef the eitjr before the dayi of cement Walfes. A late prowler berrying boa* in the dark of the BOM was very >|t to find himself sprawling la th* pathway. Construction work on the new church building of the Hist Meth odist church of Morehead City is moving right along. With the ex ception of the front wall, the win dow frames have been set and tjte brick work of the other three wall* has nearly reached the prop er height for the placing of the roof framing. Carolina Beach will be host to the state Firemen's Convention to be held at that resort on August 15, 16, 17, and 18. The business session will take place on the first day of the gathering. Hose races which have been omitted from the yearly convention for the past several years will again be part of the program at this year's con vention. A good delegation from Beaufort and Morehead City will be in attendance. Neither of these towns expect to have a racing team entered in the contests. In years past Morehead City i developed one of the best hose racing teams in the state, estab lishing fine records and carrying off many prises. Back in 1914 when the team competed in the races at the Winston -Salem con vention they established a record of 27 8/5 seconds, with a horse drawn truck, that was never beat en. The horse, "Gjb," beloved by the firemen of that period, pulled the truck that won the prixe money of $100. Twenty-fire years ago this month the Great Lakes Drilling company started drilling for *il in the Havelock section. TIM* is said to have been tite first oil well ever sunk in North Car olina. 1* proved to be a "dust er" as did the othe* wells drilled in tke eastern part of the state within the past five years. In the death of William A. How land last week, Morehead City lost it's oldest native born citizen. Mr. Howland passed feis entire life is the city. As we used to visit w>th him on the bench of the old skipper's club along the watorf ront, ne related to us many interesting happenings pertaining to tho early days of the growth of the city. We honor hie memory and. will miss the interesting in formation that he could give us.

Built over a quarter of a century ago this dock served as the tie-up place for state owned crafts. Over its planks have walked governors of past administrations as well as other state and national digni taries, while many a couple have done their wooing in the summer house built alongside the dock. Bids will be opened on Aug ust 16 for the construction of the new bridge over the Nuese river at New Bern to fO*t some $1,500,000, according to infor mation gvien out by the High way commission. TUs bridge and its appracbes will bo over one mile long, and will bo lo cated a quarter of a mile south of the present structure. Figures released by A. B. Roberts, building inspector for Morehead City, for the month of July show a slight increase over the month of June. Total amount of estimated cost of buildings for the month total $14,850, against $8,300 for the month of June. Of the amount for July, the sum of $12,900 is for new homes and $1,950 over additions a^d small, out buildings. Permits for the erection of new homes were given to Frank Grant ham $2,000; Woodrow Fulchei; $6,000; B. L. May $3,000; Gerald Wade $1,500 and Ansel Belk $400. For the seven months of 1949 total permits to the amount of $183,502 have been iaaugd. Permits issued for the correspond ing period for 1948 show $304, 770. So far this year, January has been the highest month for issu ance of building permits. The. $76,807 total reached that month included the First Baptist church Sunday School buijdmg at a eost of $63?9?7. So far this year the estimated cost of the new Wrst Methodist church buildiag at $15Q,OO0 has not bepn added to any of the months totals.

Recalling events of 25 years ago we are reminded of tha shoot ing and death of Deputy Marshall Sam Lilly, who was the father of Mrs. Ora Ball of Morehead City. In company with city prohibition officer, Leon George, of Wilming ton, the two men were killed near Phoenix in Brunswick county by unknown men while serving papers in a prohibition case. Funeral services for Mr. George, held in Wilmington, were conducted late in the day and committal services were held after dark conducted by the order of the Ku Klux Klan which included the burnnig of a cross. Thousands are said to have attended this service. William M. Jones, 71, a brother I of L. M. Jones of Morehead City passed away at the family home near New Bern on Saturday morn I ing following an extended illness. Funeral services' were held on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock with interment in the family cem etery. Tha widow, on* sen, three brothers and two sisters survive.
