One matter, however, was settled. It was the ban on shrimp trawling in waters of the Cape Look out area between Whale ureen uu Shackleford and Cape Lookout Point. The delegation from Harkers Is land numbering almost 200 fisher men headed by Earl Davis had re quested that the ban on shrimp trawl ing be extended to tne v irguua uuc. But the distance of 10-miles on which the ban has been placed seems to -be, from evidence presented, to be the principal shrimp trawling territory. Someone who was in fa vor of trawling made a remark fol lowing the ruling that the Harkers Islanders would be the first to appeal n Pant- .Tnhn Nelson to permit trawl ing, once shrimp in large numbers 'struck in at the Cape.'

Butterfly Escapes Cantaloupe Prison When Bill Wells cut a canta loupe in half here this week a butterfly with a wing spread of one inch flew out. Mystery sur rounded the event until a tiny hole no larger than a pin head was discovered in the rind. Then it was assumed that a lar vae or worm had bored its way inside and did not have time to get out before changing into a butterfly. Anyway it was one of those believe it or not stor ies. The edtior saw the butter fly, the sliced cantaloupe and the hola which had been bored from rind to center on melon. Bill is visiting his relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Fred King on Moore street here.

I told Senator Robinson if he would dance one set, I would have the ma terial for an Associated Press Dis patch, which I believed would make front page from coast to coast.

He has attempted to show her in the painting as a lonely English maiden dreaming of the return of her peo ple. This dream of their return is in dicated by a square rigged ship, worked faintly, into the cloud forma tion. At the same time Giles the ar tist, wished to show that she came from a race of doers as ,well vas dreamers and that she influenced Croatans with her strong individual ity. In order to avoid the necessity of making a series of paintings to show this, the artist has suggested it in the design of her dress and in that of the Indian.
