Fort Macon candle holder
Car Burns
A car whose owner was unknown
to firemen burned early Saturday
night when it caught (ire on high
way 101 near Beaufort. The car,
a 1950 Oldamobile, had reportedly
been parked on the side of the road
for several weeks. The Beaufort
fire department was called, but
could do nothing to aave the car, ?
This solid brass candlc holder
was found at Fort Macon some fifty
years ago in the accumulation of
cast-offs and junk which through
the years had been kicked about
the ancicnt bastille. The finder was
"Uncle" Palmer Davis, who was a
butler at the Davis House in Beau
fort for many years.
The holder was recently received
by F. C. Salisbury of Morehead
City from Mrs. Roscoe L. Thomas
of Butte, Mont., who was given the
relic by "Uncle Palmer" at the
time of the death of Mrs. Sarah
Davis in 1916, owner and operator
of the Davis House.
Older folks of the county may re
call Mrs. Ethel Clark Thomas and
her mother, Mrs. Carrie Howland
Clark. During the later yeari of
Mrs. Davis's life, the Davis House
was operated under the manage
ment of Mrs. Clark. She was a
descendant of the Rev. Bridgcrs
Arendell through his daughter Sa
rah. who first married Jonathan
Howland, and second, William N.
Dennis.
In retrospect one likes to think
that this holder may have stood on
the desk of Col. Moses J. White
who was commander of Fort Ma
con at the time of the battle, April
25, 1802.
And perhaps from the light of the
candle, Colonel White wrote this re
ply to Maj. A. E. Burnside, who
demanded the surrender of the
fort before the battle: "Sir: Your
letter per flag of truce received
demanding surrender of Fort Ma
con. In reply I have to say I de
cline to surrender."

how the (ire started. Nothing in
