CAPT. GUS STYRON
TAKES IN FLORIDA
Resident of Cedar Island Driv
en Thousands of Miles Thru
Famous Resort State
Capt. and Mrs. Gus Styron of Ce.
dar Island returned Wednesday
from an extended tour of Florida
an ! other Southern states. They
both had a tired link on their faces
when they parked in front of The
lkaufoit News office about noon af
tti' driving from Myrtle Beach early
yisterday morning. Both were glad
to be home ajrain and were determin
ed to catch up on their sleep when
tb'-y finally reached Cedar Inland.
Capt. Styron is Cedar Island's
most prominent citizen He has been
a leader there for several years and
it was through his efforts that cer
tain alleged roads were improved. He
was also the leader in the fight to
have the State Highway Commission
abandon the antique hand powered
ferry connecting the island with the
mainland and replacing same with a
drawbridge. At the present time he
is leading a fight for more improve
ments down on the island.
In Florida the touring Styrons
saw the sights. At Daytona Beach
they drove the famous stretch where
speed records are made; in Miami
they saw the wintertime metropolis
of America at the hegiht of the seas
on. In Miami also they saw horse
races, dog races and the many other
attractions which draw hundreds of
thousands of people there each win
ter. Crossing to the west coast via
the Tamiami Trail, they passed thru
the Everglades, and then on to St.
Petersburg, Tampa and through the
central part of the Sate to Orlonda,
and Gainesville, and Lake Wales,
where the Bok singing tower is lo
cated. Back on the east coast they
spent a half day seeing the sights of
ancient St. Augustine, and now they
are back home again, bronzed by the
sun and tired but very happy. They
left here January 15.

Still Little Interest
In Municipal Politics
V-p i; e the fact this newspap i
broke t ie story on the oming Mj
municipal elections in la t week's e !
it: ;n, little interest is brg shov :i
so far n local politics. A. T. Gardner
who announced himself for Mayor
last week told the Editor of this new
j. per Monday that regardless of
whether a candidate was Republican
or Democrat, that in town elections
candidates usually run for office on
an independent ticket that is they
feci k the i lea of both parties.
George Hur.tley is also candidate
for Mayor. Four possible town em
nriisioners mentioned iast week v "-e
L. C. Davis, John Vh;te, Ed Pottei
a;:d Graydon Paul. Neither of these
are incumbents for the office and
neither have yet publicly announced
their candidacy.
An Easter Cantata
An Easter Cantata entitled "From
Death Unto Life" sung by the "An
gelic Host" will be presented by the
choir of St. Stephens Congregational
church on Easter Sunday at 7:30
o'clock. The public, white and col
ored are invited to be present and
hear this cantata which will be ren
dered by the best Nsgro choir in east
ern North Carolina.
Since the death of Andrew Stewart
and the vacation of . Wm. Gorham

Mrs. Marie Chadwick, acting direc
toress has the situation well in hanr!
and her daughter Annie M. Chadwick
is still able to make the keys talk.

school will be conducted at 2 P. M.

New Canning Plant
For Carteret Soon
Carroll Crockett of Crisfield, Md.
will build a canning plant at Marsh
allberg sometime this Spring. He
expects to can tomatoes during the
summer and at other reasons of the
year various kinds of seafood. It
was stated here today that the build
ing, construction of which begins at
an early date, will be GO by 100 feet.
The completed outlay will represent
an expenditure of several thousand
dollars. Mr. Crockett has a kindly
feeling for Marshallberg. It was in
that community that his father, im
portant in the canning world, estab.
lished his first plant some 40 years
ago. In addition to this canning
plant there is a crab packing plant at
I Marshallberg and tae two combined
j will give employment to approximate
I ly 160 pepole, it is understood.

THE PLACE INDEED is none oth
er than the house of Stanton and the
very gate of Hell. Some poor delud
ed wretches enter these and are in
duced, by false representations to
sell themselves to the public enemies
of their country!
IF THE SOUTHERN Confederacy
establishes its independence, (of
which we cannot entertain reasonable
doubt) the condition of these men, or
such of them that may survive the
War, will be fearful to contemplate.
If by treasty stipulations, they are
saved from public executions as
traitors, they will have the cure of
Cain upon them, and like that fugu
tive and vagabond in the earth, they
may each cry out with fear, "every
one who findeth me shall slay me,"
and if perchance they escape the
violence of the incensed populace.
the fires of public indignation which
will center upon them and blast
them and their posterity, while their
names shall be remembered.
AND YET NO loyal citizen here
wiil venture to warn these men a
gainst the fearful leap in the dark
which they are sneaking. No person
can do it wihtout subjecting himself
to arrest under military law.
THE ENLISTMENT of men in
this county in the service of the
public enemy, has been niateiially
aided by the establishment of a pub
lic subsistence store in Beaufort,
where the families of the volunteer?
are gratuitously supplied. Other cit
izens of the county, who cannot oth
erwise rpocure subsistence, are au
thorized to get supplies at this store.

(Continued from pnge one)
THINGS IN GENERAL look much
brighter around The Beaufort News
office this week. If you don't grasp
what I mean you will as you turr.
the pages and see the big increase
in local advertising. And there is a
reason. First of all it is Eastertime
and that is the time to advertise
if you sell men, women or children's
clothing. More clothing is sold just
prior to Easter than at any other
season of the year in most localities.
That is because Easter usually seen s
to open the door 'o Spring and
Spiing time is dress no Mine.
CITIZENS IN EVr.SY Carteret
community will read tnt cirthint; ads
of the Young Man's Shop, tu. D. ..iar
tin's and Felton's this week. And
between now and next Saturday each
of these firms which are featuring
the latest in apparel for men, wom
en and children will be doing bi
business. Braufort u still the shop-
ping center of Carteret county. Each
day that passes one enchanters citi
zens from all over the county in
Beaufort, and those citizens come
here to spend money. If you let them
know what you have to offer through
a county newspaper which is widely
circulated you will get their business.
And The Beaufort News is widely
circulated from Portsmouth to Stel
la, from Harlowe to Cape Lookout
and this weekly newspaper is read by
its paid subscription WiX which never
falls below 1,200.
UNDER THE Caution "3eaeh
Roads Should Come First ' on page
two is an editorial gleaned from Th'
Elizabeth City Independent. It con
tains some mighty sound logic which
high Coast Guard officials should
consider mighty seriously before dis
continuing many Coast Guard Sta
tions. Several years ago while serv
ing as correspondent for the central
coast with headquarters down on
Ocracoke Island I advocated through
news stories the need fcr federal gov
eminent financed road from the Vir
ginia line along the Outer Banks to
Bogue Inlet. At that time I played
up the fact that such a road would
prove valuable during time of war as
a defensive measure.

the peaceful citizens of our United
States The North Carolina coast
will in all probabilities be the 'gate,
way to America' for the enemy. The
coast of Carolina is a barren unpro
tected stretch of beachland. With
proper roads, and proper amphib-an
motor equipment it would be pos
sible with good roads along the Out
er banks to move a detachment of
air craft guns from Norfolk to Cape
Lookout in two or three hours. Ih'n
sounds far fetched and probably use
less to many readers but if other
nations can have equipment which
can change from a 50-mile an hour
land motor vehicle to a 15-mile an
hour water or inlet vehicle so can
the United States of America.
I REMEMBER the time I told
Congressman Warren and Senator
Joe Robinson of Arkansas ( they were
fishing the Gulf Stream off Ocracoke)
about the plan. Both seemed intense
ly interested and both agreed at the
time that it was a matter well worth
the attention of the War Department.
But so far nothing has been done
and several Coast Guard stations will
be abandoned while nothing but bra
ren and sometimes impassible beach
land lies between thes tations which
are active.
