A Civilian Conservation Corps Camp has been allotted for the pro ject, and it is expected to be estab lished by the middle of April wren possibly an advanced detachment sent to the site within a few days, according to information received by: State Forester J. S. Holmes. Although official notification has not been received to this effect, it is believed that the camp now station ed at Stantonsburg will be moved to Fort Macon. The fort property, consisting of some 412 acres was granted to the State of North Carolina in 1924 by act of Congress, and has been ad ministered by the Department of Conservation and Development as a State Park since that time. Plans for improvements include the restoration of the massive old fort, the completion ofa motor road from the beach terminus of the cause way across Bogue Sound from More- head City, and control of drifting sands as the first step in reforesta tion of that portion of "the banks."! .ine roau, saaiteu a a viu project, has been approximately naif completed over the route of ap proximately three and one-half miles. This drive will not only give easy ac cess for sightseers to the fort but will open up new stretches of one of the best bathing beaches in the State to recreationists. I nthe restoration of the fort, the advice of some of the best landscape architectural talent in the country through the National Park iService will be available. Mr. Holmes assert ed that he also hopes to have an ar chitect attached to the camp staff. The fort now standing on the State Park property is of massive construc tion, and in view of the fact that no funds have been available for its up keep, it is now in excellent state of preservation. Construction on the present fortification was started in 1824 and was completed twelve years later in 1836 at a cost of about $463,700. "The region about Beaufort and Morehead City," according to an ac count prepared by F. H. Claridge, former State forester and now tech nician in charge of State-directed CCC camps, "since earliest Colonial days has been associated with stir ring events.

The banks had greatly strengthen-; ed their cash and bond holdings ov er the holdings of a year before, the cash in vault being $7,215,000, an in crease of nearly $2,000,000; the a mount due form the Federal Reserve had doubled, exceeding $9,000,000; while the total of cash and due from banks increased $17,000,000, to $57 756; Stock and bond holdings increas ed more than $12,000,000, or to $52, 722,213.

He touchingly and vehemently stated that the trouble for Democracy in North Carolina is not from the Re publicans, but from snipers withm the party ranks, who offer destruc tive and not constructive criticism. He predicted that the keynote speech in the Republican convention Wed nesday would be made up in large part by quotations from these "mug wump" Democrats. Congressman John H. Kerr and R. L. Doughton spoke briefly, as did D. Ed Hudgins of Greensboro, for the young Democrats.
