FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMT5 KR 3, 1926. SIX PAGES. = NO. 208 Great New Coastal Road Would Open Up Beauties Of Carolina Wonderland Ambition- Oneti Hoping for ('onnertiiig Links for Highway Afros# Hyde and Dare Counties Soon ALHEADY UNDEH WAY Road From Englehard to Stumpy Point Would be Continued to MuunV Har ? TL?. I \ I I 1 the mainland of the Albe marle District, thence across Roanoke Island and south westwardly through the swampy wilderness of Dare and Hyde counties, to link up with the State highway sys tem at Swan Quarter, county seat of Hyde, are being agi tated in the upper sound country. Such a highway, it* advocates point out, would open up to mo tor traffic the scenic beauties of the section, nnd its unrivalled fa cilities for recreation, with hunt ing, fishing and bathing as the premier sports. Also, it would give the people of Itoanoke Island and the adjacent mainland high way access to the central part of the State, breaking an age-old Iso lation and promoting the develop ment of the territory which it would open up for the first time. Hyde and Dare counties at pres ent are engaged In building a road from Englehard, In the former county, to Stumpy Point, on the east shore of Dare. Hyde in build ing from Englehard to Long Shonl River, tlie county boundary, a dis tance of about 12 miles, and Dare la carrying it on from there to Stnmpy Point, some eight miles. The work ?till lacks tfiany months of completion. Thus far, these are purely coun ty projects; but It is hoped that they can be brought into the r State's county seat to county seat road program, and thereby made eligible for construction from State road funds, by continuing the road 12 miles from Stumpy Point to Mann's Harbor. The lat ter village Is but four miles across Croatan Sound from Roanoke Isl and, and a dependable road is be ing built from the island town of Manteo, county Beat of Dare^ to Burnslde, the point opposite Mann's Harbor. As contemplated for the early future, the new coastal highway would have two ferry systemn as Its connecting links, respectively at Durnside, connecting with the Dare mainland, and from the north end of Roanoke Island to Point Harbor, at the lower end of Currituck. Ferry service is being maintained at the latter point now. Ultimately, however, those who have caught a vision of the new highway hope for the construction of a bridge below Manteo, to con nect with the beach country nsar Nags Head, whence a concrete highway would be >ullt on a straightaway northern course to Virginia Beach. ThS. It is point ed out, would be cv' immeasurable value In developing the recrea tional ..poislbllltl** of the North Carolina coast mhntry. There is talk also of a second bridge con . , nectlng Manns Harbor and Durn side, and r 'moving the last har rier to unimpeded motor traffic through he coast country. Excep for the Hyde and Dare coin at net Ion work now under 4ajr, the project has not advanced kyond the preliminary stage of Iscussion by relatively few high ay enthusiasts; but these, hav ing grasped a vision of what It AMM mean In tiM development of the whole northeastern part of the State, express them/elves as determined to see It through.

Aged Siberian Goes Many Miles To See City Lights Oolala, Ojorot, Autonomous District of Siberia, Sept. 3. ? An aged resident of OJrot ha* arrived at Oolala, completing a trip of 500 versta (330 miles) through the passes of the AltaJ Mountains. I for the sole purpose of seeing be fore he dies the electric lights of the city. Oolala is the capital of Ojrot dis trict. lying along the Mongolian Border. One of the patriarch's many sons, returning to his na tive village, where sacrifices still are made to heathen gods of eood and evil, and tithes are offered to appease the spirits of the moun tains, water, and air, told of the light now burning in the capital without fire, smoke or heat. The old man, not believing the story, started to the capital alone, promising upon his return to sac rifice fifty horses If the story was true, and to disinherit the son of a thousand head of a mountain cattle if it was untrue. [ Electric lights in Oolala are one | of the several sigus of progress of the ancient Ojrot district, through [which runs the age-old highway to Mongolia. Under President Alaguze, and energetic Ojrot, educated to the priest hood, but now turned cotn jmunist. the people have written ! language with a newly evolved al phabet consisting of the Russian alphabet with four Latin letters I added. There are fifty public schools where the Ojrot language is taught and Oolala has a high school. Some of the pupils come from surrounding villages hun dreds of versts distance. ATTENDANCE ACT PROVING WORTH Various Gradoi in Schools Here More Nearly "On Level" Than Before Thank, to the State Compulsory School Law, the Elizabeth City Graded Schools are more nearly j"on a level" this year than they ever have been before, according to Superintendent S. L. Sheep, who explains that the law has been In operation long enough now for Its full beneficial effects to become felt. "It used to be thai we had boys and girls of all sizes In Just about every grade." Mr. She*p began. In a little digression on the subject in the course of a general discus sion of school matters. "But now. since all children within the pre scribed age limits must attend school, we no longer have a large number of overgrown and retard ed boys and girl* scattered along through the grades with the small er children. "In consequence, the children 1 In the various grades are practi cally all of the same general sizes and ages. Of course, there are I a few exceptions, which are duel largely to families moving here with children who have not had1 the best of. school advantages. "This Is an excellent state of I affairs, for It always was a prob-; lem In other years how best to handle these boys and girls, who naturally were embarrased over) being classed with much younger j children, and who couldn't be ex-' pec ted to be Interested In the ; same things. For Instance, im- 1 agine trying to Interest a 12-year-! old boy In cutlng out paper dolls! ' "The Compulsory School Law Is an excellent measure. This lev-j ellng-off Is only one of the manyl benefits It ha? brought." I>ISKE<;AKI> SIGNAL CAUSE OF DEATHS Raltlmore. Sept. 3. ?

On the opening day, the school had 111 teachers, but In a few days two j more were added, through the clos ! Ing down of two small schools which had been kept open for the primary children In the Sound i Neck and Dry Ridge communities, j These two little schools were closed becaune their enrollment was regarded as Insufficient to I Justify the expense of keeping them In operstlon. and their teach 'ers were transferred to Weeksvllle. An additional high school teacher was employed after the Chrlstmss holidays. For the term of 1914-26, Weeks vllle High School had a faculty of 18 teachers, and an enrollment of 489, of whom 390 were in the grades and 99 in 4be high school.

Those ill - mediately concerned in the acd ? dent appeared decidedly averse to discussing it. From such accounts as can Is? pieced together. It appear* th(M Davis Spence, of this city, driving a Lincoln phaeton owned by 11. li Rlalock. Sr., of the K. L. Ulalock Construction Company, now e?? gi^ged In building the new Caro lina Theater, was in collision with a Ford coupe driven by WalUT Edwards, of Hertford. Spen? was accompanied by Mr. Rlalockt son.

Pupils from the rural district* who heretofore have attended the Elizabeth City High School, and who are prepared for tin- eleventh ! Krade, will be permitted to enter it. but no other* will be allowed j to attend here. Ily reason Of the large amount of work entailed In registering the children on the opening day of *chool, Mr. Sheep explains, no formal program will be undcrtak- ' en.

All are asked to report ( at 9 o'clock on the morning of the opening day, hut after that.1 the daily school periods will open at 8:45, with noon recess at 12:15, reconvening at 1:20 and closing the school day at 2:110. General class work will begin ? on Tuesday, the 14th, by which j time it is hoped that all the work ' of registration will have been completed. In preparation for the term, the white teachers will meet In the j high school auditorium at 9:30 o'clock In the morning on Sstur- | day. the 11th, and the colored, teachers will hold a similar aes slon at the Koanoke avenue school that afternoon at 4 o'clock. Itepeatlng an earlier admoni tion, Mr. Sheep reminds that all children entering school for the first time must be vaccinated against smallpox before they w|H be admitted.
