They are peo ple of foreign birth, and s;e no harm In selling beer and wine. Th, law gives them license to sell beer and wine Naturally they attract a considerable number of men to their beer counter, and the coming of the WPA forces greatly Increased the business of Mrs. Shulman.

He might go, and he might get in the wrong house. But the beer counter, being a public place, be comes a landmark, and a .symbol, and Its name Is used In many ways, regardless of the purity of the own er, the manager or the barmaid. Having chosen to run a public business that recruits Its trade from among the wine bibbers and beer guzzlers. It is somewhat amazing that Mrs. Shulman or her children should become offendtd at the fol lowing Inoffensive words that hap pened in this p.iper In connection with the trial of a WPA man for entering a house. "Tucker had been wandering a- round town with a number of fel lows from the WPA camp. They decided to get drunk. Tliey kept sampling Mrs. Shulman’s beer and wine, and what not. They were looking for strange women who were supposed to bang out around Mr.a. Shulman’s. Tucker went In the door of a nearby house ’’ Now when this reference Is care fully analyzed It will be seen, there are no charges against the purity of Mrs, Shulman: no Inference that anyone xpccted to find an immoral women In her house; no suggestion that Mrs. Shulman has anything but the best of Intentions, and no evidence that this paper wanted to take a dig at Mrs Shulman. The foregohig Is not printed as an apology In any sense. There has been nothing said for which to apol ogize. Tliere has been no desire to wound the feelings of any member of the Shulman family for which we have the best of wishes, and good will. It Is sbnply to show, how eas ily. a person may’ easily mistake even the printed word and how careful one niu.*;t he In what is ten to offend no one. To offend no one In writing for a paper, seems Impossible. We hope Mrs. Shul- man can read this over carefully and feel better about It. We are confident that In no manner has it caused her to lose good will or prestige in her business, and maybe it w’Ul make her be always careful about the management of her busi ness In th face of hostile or pre judiced neighbors. Editor. HEAD OF DRY FORCES I IS HEARD A'l' MANTEO A union service at the Manteo Baptist church Sunday night drew a large number of people to hear Cale K Burgess. Raleigh at torney, 'i’hp Is^ at the head of the Uihltcd Dty' 'Forces In North Carolina, speak on “A Christ ian’s Relationship to Strong Drink.’’ During ids discourse, Mr. Burgess cited instances of liquor’s devastating effert on the home relationship, property, and on the human body. Mr. Burgess has delivered addresses on this subject for a period of two years and in coming to Dare last Sun day completed a tour of the State having spoken previously In every county except Dare. Panama, Land of Tropical Romance CHICO SOLLAS, Camp Duck Boy Tells of Native Clime As Told to THOMAS POOLE Among the many stories told to me from people from all parts of the world, none surpassc.-i in ro mance. color or entrancement that related to me by Chico SoUas, fain-’ illarly known to many Manteo peo ple for his exploits in the boxhrg ring for the Camp Eu'tls Boxing team, and certainly one of the fin est and most Inspiring young men it has been my good fortune to know. By way of explanation Mr. Sollas will present his story In In stallments. and each succeeding one should develop Incre.ascd Interest. "It Is with deep regret that I could not have ’written this short, but Interesting .story about my be loved countrj' and native home sooner," Sollas begins his storj'. "However, being pursuaclcd by sev eral boys In the camp, I am about to tell you the Interesting and ro mantic things about the Republic of Panama and the Panam.r Canal. 'First of all, Panama like other tropical countries, Is well located In a remote region surrounded by trop ical palms and the lovely and state ly coconut trees of which the na tives and Indians are very fond. This lovely County of Dare reminds me somewhat of my home; being so peaceful and quiet.

Pana ma City Is 41 miles from the Canal Zone which was built by the United States and near to the Panama Railroad Comp.-uiy, also built by the American government In 1917, It be ing the only one of its kind in the countrj’. Cristobal, near Panama City. Is occupied mostly by Ameri cans and employees of the Panama Canal. Bordering Cristobal we come to Colon, property of the Pan- amalnns and most interesting of any city In the small republic. Colon has a population of about 20,000 people; most of whom are from every part of the world. However, the majority are well-to-do Indians from the Islands of San Bias, In addition to other citizens cf Pana ma proper. In passing tlirough the streets of Panama on a short visit, you will see the CaramcUo or coaches as most Americans call them; all loaded down with tour ists that have disembarked from water and are viewing the sights. On each side of the street you will notice the various cantinas or beer gardtns as they call them In Amer ica. Also the lovely decorated Spanish stores wltli their beautiful sUks, perfumes and merchandise that has come from all parts of the world: the ever-fragrant Roslta as little danger as possible to )ny- jsolf.

Rheumatism caused her to limp especle'ly afier climbing the flight of stepa leading from downstairs to the rooms we students occupied. Rut hrr eyes were brigh’i, «s her thoughts, and these kept us on our toes. Her most memorable peculi arity was her philosophy of plea sure. Not tliat .she was a hedonist as the word "plca.surc" would Incline you to think, but she cared more to like than to dlshke. It was a pure ly ,, good philosophy of pleasure, He'althj’, but that part which ap plied to spiders was a bit dangero»s 109, I thought so then, and I think sofiow, but the fun of loving spld ers is worth all tne danger one bu - les. oneself to Imagine, and what little real danger there Is.

TWO REIDSVILLE LADIES WANTED TO SEE HATTERAS Mrs. B. J. Olive., wife of the late R. J. Oliver Editor and Publisher of the Reldsville Review, was a vis itor in Manteo this week She was accompanied by Tier daughter. The two of them have been on a tour of the coast land of North Carolina all week and expressed with regret that they could not continue their trip down the Banks of Dare County to Hatteras. Almost every week the same thing Is true of someone and often many. This alone should mean that some thing should be done to improve traveling conditions down the Banks, Tlie United States controls 3t per cent of the world’s railroad mileage. the Tiendas de Fruts, or fruit stores. "On every block of Colon you will obsen’e a dozen Chinese stores con sisting mostly of groceries and other commodities produced in China and imported for sale to the natives. Leaving the beautiful city now on our pleasant cruise, I take you to the docks at Cristobal, where you land before coming Into the city. Cristobal has one of the most ela borate constructive piers in Latin or.

"When you come ashore you will hear the sweet voice of a Muchacho always calling out "Naranjas, Ava- codos, Comprame uno,'” which means oranges, pears; buy some.

The ex pected thing has again happened. The so-called "ring" candidate has been declared the party nominee for Governor by an overwhelming majority vote A most gratifying situation this Is for the people of those counties which have become a part of this great political "ring" and whose choice Is convincingly proven by a majority vote for the successful candidate for Governor. The citizenship of these counties, who are entrenched within this Imaginary “ring”, are at this mo ment in a favored position for pub lic benefits at the hands of the "invisible machine." JTlie rewards that are sure to come to them by way of public construction and de velopment will perhaps be a bit nauseating to we Hertford County folks ’Khdse proven distrust and /er.r of Hie so-caIlcct"~’’ftachrne'’ have kept 'us at a safe distance from this visionary circle.

We do not have votas enough in the county to change the final result if a single candidate got every one. This Is a machine age, and whether wc like It or not. Hertford County is unable to throw a monkey WTcnch in It. or other wise harm It. In reality the injury comes to us. Hertford County re minds us of a poor tenant farmer who boosts of his independence and prides himself on his personal lib erty-drunk on his own freedom. At Cikch week end he looks to some one for necessary supplies. It Is obvious that for the past several years Hertford County has failed to receive its fair share of public i party nominee As a business matter, It would be far better for us ju.st for once in a period of twenty-eight years to join the “ring" and enjoy some of the ble.ss;nrs and bencflls of this big and powerful "machine" which Dr. McDon.'ild told us was broken down, the gears worn, brakes bad, out of gas, and headed for the ditch. tve took the Doctor too much to heart. To the contrary, the old machine is still running In high. It’s a good one and It will bo running when wc are forgotten. We arc unable to fix It and wo haven’t the voles to wreck It.
