Beaufort Western
Union Office
Will Remain Open
Western Union has done an
about-face and instead of closing
the Beaufort office the telegraph
company started Friday to handle
all down-east business through i he
Beaufort Western Union office
rather than through Morehead City
as has been done in the past.
A change in Western Union tac
tics followed a meeting Tuesday of
M. A. Temple, district manager.
Western Union, and chamber of
commerce officials. The two fac
tions got together and agreed to
cooptrate in solving the problem.
Glenn Adair, director of the
chlffltMr of commerce, who was ap
pointed to handle the Western
Union problem, stated that the
telegraph company has also offer
ed to install Western Union clock
service in this area. Western
Union clocks operate automatically
and furnish the correct time at all
times.
Although a slight change in
Beaufort Western Union office
hours is contemplated, every ef
fort will be made to increase busi
ness there, according to informa
tion from Temple.
The chamber of commerce spear
headed the drive to maintain a
regularly-operated Western Union
office in Beaufort instead of a
Western Union agency as proposed
by the company. The chamber's
move was also supported by the
Jaycees.

A&EC To Borrow
$500,000 to Buy

H. S. Gibbs, Morehead City,
L. W. Hassell, Beaufort,
Elected Directors
Atlantic Beach. ? With the loan
approved by the last session of the
North Carolina General assembly,
the directors of the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad, in ninety
seventh annual session here Fri<
day, asked the state of North Caro
lina to lend the road $500,000 for
the purchase of two new diescl on
ginos and the laying of 20 miles of
heavy rails.
At the same time a changc in
the lease with the Atlantic and
East Carolina railroad was effected,
and that change is expected to re
sult in the repayment of the state
loan.
The Atlantic and East Carolina
railroad is the company which op
erates the Atlantic and North Car
olina railroad under lease. In ad
dition to the regular rental paid,
the Atlantic and East Carolina
company will pay 10 per cent of
its gross revenue over $800,000 a
year to the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad; the amount to be
applied on the state loan.
Friday's annual session was one
for the stockholders of the Atlan
tic and North Carolina railroad as
well as one for the directors. Pre
ceding the meeting of the directors,
the directors were electcd by the
stockholders.
Since the state owns the majori
ty stock in the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad, Governor Kerr
Scott placed in nomination the ma
jority of the directors. Included
as his nominees were J. H. Blount
of Greenville, M. G. Manr. of Ral
eigh, L. W. Haaaell of Beaufort,
Beaiaiey Hodge? of Kinston, R.
May?* Albright of Raleigh, Frank.
A. Seymour of Goldsboro, W. O.
Abbitf of Williamston and Thomaa
W. Davis of Pink Hill. Albright
was named to replace J. T. Kings
ley of Norfolk. All others were re
nominated.
iwngsiey was named Dy ine pri
vate stockholders to succeed George
P. Folk o/ Edcnton. Renominated
by the private stockholders were
H. S. Gibbs of Morehead City,
George W. Ipock of Ernul who is
chairman of the board of Craven
county commissioners and the offi
cial representative of Craven coun
ty which is a stockholder, and Wil
liam Dunn of New Bern.
Election of officers of the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad
followed at the meeting of the
newly-elected directors. M. G.
Mann of Raleigh was named presi
dent of the board; J. H. Blount of
Greenville, chairman of the board:
W. Guy Hargett of Richlands, sec
retary-treasurer; W. A. Johnston
of Lillington, attorney to succeed
Albright; Hilton Smith of Raleigh,
expert, and Carroll L. Mann, jr.,
of Greensboro, inspector.
In a report for the past year,
Inspector-Engineer Mann told the
railroad gat he. ing that the Atlan
tic and East Carolina railroad
company had more than lived up
to the terms of its lease.
His inspection, made the latter
part of July, included observation
of the roadway, ballast, ties, rail,
track, bridges and trestles, yards
and terminals, shops and buildings,
motive power and rolling stock,
and conferences with lease offi
cials. He also reviewed the rec
ords of the leasee pertaining to
maintenance and physical proper
ties.
In a summary of his report.
Mann says that "Considering, there
fore, the type of service and op
erations of the railroad, and the
fact that double or more than dou
ble the present traffic could be
adequately handled, it is the opin
ion of the undersigned that lha
nature and character of mainte
nance of the properties by the
leasee is reasonable and adequate
. . . The condition of the proper
ties as they exist at present is
greatly improved over what must
have been the condition in 1939.
Resulti of work in evidence at the
time of the inspection clearly in
dicated definite and progressive
improvements to the properties,
many of which may be classed as
permanent improvements. The
standards of maintenance of the
leasee are of a definitely higher
type than heretofore obtaining on
these properties."
