‘'I nm ready lo conllnuo with the
old time gospel, and believe there
will be a big response among the
people when I get going again with
my big lent, and glvelhem the old
fashioned fire and brimstone that
used lo work sucli great wonders
along the coast."
' ,■ So says' nev. Bill Everton, famous
preacher of the' Coast country,
whose . groattot . \york \ was done in
this' scellon nearly 40 years ago.
■Mr. Everton, at the age of 74, is
now sojourning at Manns Harbor
with his sisters, Mrs. Emmett Gibbs,
and-Mrs. C. W. Mann,, and ha.s a
new lent ready for business when
the weatlicy warms up.
In the days of 40 years ago, Mr.
Everton a'as a powerful figure
preaching at the Camp Meetings
along the coast. He also served
charges at Hattcr.as, Swan Quartcr.s,
Pantego, Manns Harbor, and since
leaving Dare County has preached
in Virginia, South Carolina, Geor
gia and ■Florida.
Mr.. Everton, was, born in Curri
tuck County and lived for many
years at Currituck Bench Llght-
■■houso, where hls^ father,.!’. T. Ever-
toh,"iwas keeper about 60 years ago.
Religion A Good Tonic
He served for a spell in the old
,Llfo. Saving Service at Currituck
Beach Station. He studied at Wake
Forest College and Crozlcr Semin
ary in Chester,' Pa.
- That he is ready now to begin a
new' campaign, with 'all' the vigor
of a younger man is indicated by a
■ • statement he made to The Times
1'.-^: this week. “I find 'that religious
activity Is the best tonic there is.
■=! ,■ . '.It gives exercise to mind and body.

. ton says: , ' '''
;. '‘T am back In North Carolina,
and' I am now making up my
.schcdulo of old-fashioned revival
meetings for the Spring, Summer
and Fall. I would be glad to aid
any community, church or preacher
where niy services might be desir
ed.
‘T have a tent that will scat about
gSO people. I could bring my tent
to yoiu* community if you would
jprefer my services under the tent
• instead of holding the .services in
■ th^''cllurch or schoolhouse..^, _ You,
hiiay correspond with me in regard to
‘the matter at Manns Harbor.”
!! ,Mr. Everton laughed and recall-
•cd one meeting at Rodanthe held
nearly 40 years ago, when he says
he did good work. "Why don't you
know they started shouting at 11
o'clock on Sunday morning, and
RETURNS FROM VISIT

JOHN A. MEEKINP, County Com

ha.s been from co,ast to coast. He
has Just returned from San Diego,
California, where he visited, his
daughter, Mrs. Rae Ashburn, wife
of a Navy man.
For the -first; t'n a his life, this
man. who spent..*.::re than 30 years

■ One of the most Inlorasting ban-
niicts known In Dare County took
place l.'tst Friday night when Paul
Green, North Carolina Playwright,
Dr. C. C, Crittendoh. of’the'North
Carolina Hlstorltal Commission, and
W. O, Saunders, President of. the
Roanoke Island Iltstorical Associa
tion, and other notables met at llie
Fort Raleigh Hotel to dlsnu^-the
piobablllty-of-^aihugc-colobratlori in
1D37 marking tlio 350lli'Annlvers.ary
of the birth of Vlrgliiia Dare. ■
The discussion, beginning fl-rst in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
was continued at tlie b-anguot in
tlie Fort Ralclgli Hotel. Nckt day
Mr. Green visited Fort Raleigh and
•was Impressed by what has been
done there under the restoration
program.
Paul Green has been quotcl as
having said he would write a play
for the pagcnanl, but suggested It
tor the pageant, but suggested It
ciallze the event too much.
Mr. Saunders, who first advocat
ed the Idea of a huge 350lh anni
versary celebration some years ago,
secs possibilities of making the
portrayal of this story a second
Oberaramergau He would have the
natives of Roanoke Isla*,d live the
history to the point of allowing
their hair lo grow long and affect
ing the speech of the Elizabethan
period if necessary and perform
this history In a pageant that would
be a national epic three or four
times a week during the five months
of the tourist season and” at the
.same time the fishermen could pro
duce -fish and the fanners, vege
tables, fruits, poultry. egg.s and
dairy products to teed the tourists
and Roanoke Island would never
naveHo be dependent on the gbvcfii-
liient. ,Evei7,:^are room could,be

become too darn modern,' you cease
to be historical."

Dramatic Moment At Haticras
- V. One of the most dramatic mo
ments in Ills career, occurred at
' Hatteras nearly 40 years ago. He
had preached a powerful sermon.
He had scourged the dnmkards, the
gamblers, and the adulterers. He
, had preached at some lengt'n about
• evil -companions Including bad wo
men, and he had described the bad
effect of a bad woman in a com-
, munity. He was helping R6v. Sam
' Lepers at that revival, and says:
= ’ ■ "One Sunday ' morning at the
.conclusion of the services, I was
about to pronounce the benediction
and ,the people had stood for that
wonder,' he said, how In the world
those folks could' make living.
"I'don't sec a thing they can do
out there, and I will take , my
chances' In bare County,” says Mr.
Meckins.- . "We people -are , more
blessed-than they'arei''’ i’'-'*-!'
While riding, on the bus,..Mr.
Meckins was mistaken for Lciiator
Bailey, whose striking -resemblance
to the Senior Senator from^North
Carolina, has often been comment
ed on.
“While I do not wfish to live out
in that' country, I would like' to
make, another trip some time, and
look, it over," he said. , , ''
The round trip, faro was 372.00.
He says it is worth paying and. the-
trip ,1s worth taking.'

tho'regular session of the Board'of
Commissioners, which ..met here
