Salisbury Hidden amongst the tangle of un derbrush and weeds, on the out skirts of small communities, in the corner on farms or plantations, are the graves of many men and worn In, long forgotten who played their part in the settlement and devel opment of Carteret county. One finds names on the ancient .tombstones, in these old neglected and forgotten burial plota? of fam ilies whose lineal descendants are today prominent in the business and profeasional life of the county History records the activities of i many of the men of the past but it is from the stones erected over the graves of wife or mother, surround ed by the small stones marking the graves of children, that a story , of hardship and grief can W visual What pathetic stories could be written from the records on the headstones that mark the graves of many a . young mother and children who lie buried in these neglected plots, as well as in better <cared-fcr cemeteries. Ramble ?bout any cemetery dating back h hundred years or more, and you ta? sure to find the graves of moth ers who died in early life while alongside are the graves of several Sin an old family burial ground ocstad on the plantation of Jos eph Belk one of the large land 'towueri in the early days of Carte aret county, is the grave of a toother bed. who died at the age of 38. Along side her grave arc the graves of eight children, some dying at birth, others living a few days, others living not to exceed five yean. A pathetic storj indeed. It is not un usual to find family plots of years past containing the graves of five, six and seven infants of one fam ily. Back in colonial times women matured early, marrying young, some at thirteen and fourteen years of age. Large families were the rule. The hardships of pioneer life, the burden of early and fre quent motherhood, and the absence of skillful medical treatment wore women out in early life; the in scriptions on the tombstones In colonial burying grounds are silent witnesses of this tragic fact It was not often that women of that period had a chance at a sec ond husband, but there were few men who did not find comfort In the affections of a second, third, and often a fourth wife. Along with the birth rate went an appalling infant mortality, the result of cold and drafty houses, bad diet, want of medical know ledge and surgical care and con genital weakness born of too-fre quent motherhood. In the days of plantation life it was the custom as well as the re quirement that every planter set aside ? burial place and fencc the same for the interring of all such Christian persons, whether bond or 8m CEMETrtUES.

Privilege Tax Notices Go Out Notices to businessmen of Beau fort, informing them that their privilege tax for the fiscal year 1951-52 is payable, were mailed this week from the town hall. By authority of the town board, the privilege tax this year was brought up to the statute allow ance and in certain cases the tax this year will be higher than last, according to Din Walker, town clerk. Received last year in privilege tax was $2,600. Estimated receipts this year will be $4,500 which will enable the addition of a night po liceman to the force. Because Maxwell Wade, former night watch man whose salary was supplement ed by the businessmen, has been made a regular member of the force, another night policeman is needed, Walker pointed out. Even though the tax may be higher, town officials stated, the businessmen will be the ones to profit, in the final analysis. The privilege tax is payable now. The town board ordered that a 10 per cent penalty shall be imposed for each month that lapses after the due date.

Beaufort Meets Vanceboro , Morehead vs. Beulaville Carteret county football season officially opens tonight with home games in both Beaufort and Morehea'd City. The Beaufort team, guided by new coach John Evans, plays Vanceboro, while Charles Hester's Morehead squad tackles Beulaville. Both teams will make a very good appearance when the playing starts at 8 p.m., as their? respective .laycce backers have spent a considerable sum on new uniforms and equipment. Neither coach feels over confi dent. Both have looked at their schedules and see that games with bigger schools than thelr'i are coming up. The two mentors, therefore, realize that if their sea sons are successful, it will be be cause of the boys on the squads rather than a light schedule. In Beaufort, the leltermen of the Sea Dogs elected Johnnie Lynch, 16S lb. senior as captain and Gary Copeland another senior as co-cap tain. Lynch plays fullback. Cope land is in the right tackle position of the line. , When Lynch is on the field he will be in command, said Kvans. When not, Copeland will take his place.

Most serious accident is that of Harold Willis who suffered a broken clavicle at Tuesday afternoon's practice in Morehead City. Willis is a junior who hoped to play halfback, but will now be see ing all this year's games from the bleachers. The accident occurred when Wil lis blocked Sonny MacDonald who was carrying the ball. MarDonald, all 230 lbs. of him, came down on Willis in the scramble. At the time Willis said he did not realize that he was hurt; in fact he kept right on practicing. Later he saw that his collar bone was swollen. He was rushed to Morehead City hospital where Dr. Milton B. Morey attended the in jury.

This huge amphibious training base hummed with activity this week as Second Division Marines made final prepa rations for Atlantic Fleet exercises to be held in the Caribbean area during October and November. Commanded by Major General Ray A. Robinson, the Second Di vision Leathernecks will play a ma jor role in the exercises which will .include an amphibious assault on the Island of Vieques. It will be the first major fleet exercise in 18 months. Following the assault landing on Vieques, the Marines will concen trate on shore based training. The latest techniques and equipment developed by Marines will be em ployed and tactical problems will be similar to those encountered in Korea. The wind-up of the Fleet Exer cise will be an amphibious opera tion on Onslow Beach at Camp Le jcune in November. This phase at the Marine base will include op position to the landing force pro vided by an aggressor unit especial ly trained and equipped to make the problem more realistic. According to fleet headquarters, the operation will consist of "sim ulating a scries of campaigns which might conceivably ta)ie pjace in jmv part o( the world .ri?u big a pos ,Me future war." In addition the Second Marine Division, planes from the .Second Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point, and personnel of Fleet Ma rine Forcc, Atlantic, will take an active part in the exercises. Overall command of 4he Marine troops will be in the hands of Lt. Gen. Graves B. Erskine, command ing general of Fleet Marine Forces, Atlantic. Commanding the entire Atlantic Fleet exercise is Admiral Lyndc D. McCormick, the new Atlantic Fleet commander in chief. Dr. C. S. Maxwell, Heads Committee The Carteret County Medical so ciety appointed its president, Dr. C. S. Maxwell of Beaufort, to head a committee to discuss the matter of opening a state-financed cancer clinic with Dr. J. W. R. Norton, state health officer. The decision was made at the society's monthly dinner meeting Monday night at Morehcad City hospital. This action followed a request from the Business and Professional Women's club of Carteret county in regard to the state's current policy regarding establishment of cancer detection clinics. The cflnic project was started by the B&PW club last year but reached a stalemate due to there being no head of the state health department's cancer division at that time. Dr. A. H. Elliott of the personal health division, in recent cor respondence with the county health officer, Dr. N. T, Ennett, requested full consultation with the county's doctors. Even though the medical society previously approved the clinic, the B&PW club felt that the doctors should again consider the proposal because several months have elapsed since they last dis cussed Uie project. Dr. Maxwell's committee will mike a report at the society's next meeting Oct. 14. The group further agreed that efforts should be made to educate the cititenry with the importance of early cancer diagnosis, because with nfbdern treatment most can cers may be cured if detected early enough.

Civic Committee Sees $2,700 Thus \j FarinCampaign Group Believes at Least $5,000 Will be Raised By Tomorrow The general civic committee of Morehead City learned at their Wednesday night meeting that $2.7(X) has been collected to date in either cash or pledges for the repairing of the former USO in Morehead City. This leaves the civic group un til tomorrow to raise an additional $2,300 in order to have the $5,000 needed to prevent city officials from offering the building for pub lic sale Sept. 22. The meeting got off to a gloomy start when A. B. Roberts, Rotarian and chairman of the general civic club committee, announced that only $300 had been collected in cash. As the meeting progressed, the members learned that the re mainder had been pledged. Clyde Jones, Rotarian, and Roberts debated the actual amount the committee had raised in both cash and pledges. Roberts insisted that portions of the $2,700 had been counted twice and that the correct total figure was closer to $1,900. The members departed, however, with the assumption that the committee had raised $2,700 as of Wednsday evening. Neither El Nelson, fire chief, nor A. U. Vick, Woodmen of the World, were present at the meeting, held in the board room of the municipal building. The committee, there fore, could not hear reports as to the amount these two organizations had collected. Truman Kemp, of the Rotary club, said the Rolarians would pledge $1,000. Oscar Allred, Lions president, said his club would give $1,200. The Jaycees, the commit*. t?e thinks. wM raise the toW an other Hie general civic club committee decided to hold another meeting last night at the municipal build ing. immediately following Rotary and Lions club meetings.
