THREE SECTIONS EIGHTEEN PAGES ; MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY. APRIL 25, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAYS Union Forces Took Fort Macon 90 Years Ago Today, April 25 Olive Campaign Head Decries Local Politics J Wiley H. Taylor, jr., chairman oH ' the Olive-for-Governor campaign in Carteret county, today leveled a blast at opposition forces for de stroying Olive posters placed throughout the county. A statement by Taylor, released this week, follows: "I knew that politics in Carteret County were rotten but I did not expect that supporters of a candi date for governor of the State of North Carolina would stoop to the Juvenile act of removing campaign posters of the opposition candidate. Practically every poster that had been placed by the supporters of Mr. Olive has been torn down or covered by an Umstead poster. This act is what we might expect in a Solice state, but not in Democratic lorth Carolina. "We who are supporting Mr. Olive will post more Olive pictures within a few days. If they are re moved or otherwise molested 1 will personally pay a bounty for every ? tJiniitad poster that is brought to me. "No individual or group is ac cused of this unfair practice, but the evidence obviously . indicates that some of Mr. Olive's oppositidn is responsible. Fair play must be the rule in this campaign or the blade will cut both ways." Curator Obtains liems j For Fort Nacon Museum Among the items donated to the museum at Fort Macon are a can non ball found by Kenneth Can field, Morehead City, and a pic ture and pocket testament from Beaufort. The picture is of Mrs. Walter Hill's father who was stationed at Fort Macon during the battle in 1862. Pictured with him is a friend by the name of Willis who was killed and is buried in Ann street cemetery in Beaufort, according to ? M. F. Perry, curator of the mu I seum. j Both men are in uniform. Mrs. Hill, Beaufort, has also donated the pocket testament her father had with him while he was station ed at Fort Macon. The cannon ball, Perry said, was found at the site of Carolina City, in the water near the shore and Perry believes that it may have fallen off a lighter while ammuni tion was being transferred from the mainland to boats for transporta tion to batteries on Bogue Banks. Ninety years ago on this day, April 25, Fort Macon, manned by Confederate forces, surrendered to the invading Northern Army. Ap pearing below is an account of tw? men who were in the fort when it fell. This story was written by Mrs. M. F. Hancock of Beaufort and published in the Morehead City Coaster May 16, 1913: Brother John and Charles Chad wick, a cousin of mine, were on the sick list at Fort Macon. Some weeks previous to the surrender of the fort I succeeded in securing a furlough for thirty days with per mission to take them home and try to nurse them back to health. I was much pleased with the re sults of my efforts, and felt under many obligations to the manhood of the sunny South, who had placed themselves on its altar for liberty, home and loved ones, and then 1 resolved to do all 1 could for the best interests of my country and be true to the cause. I was then a girl of twenty summers, in the purity of matured womanhood, fired with a patriotic zeal and love of liberty. Someone said to brother John as he was leaving home. "John, 1 wouldn't go." to which he replied: "No one shall ever say with truth, John Chadwick is a deserter." 1 encouraged them to stand for right and duty, bid them God speed and said goodbye till we meet again. The fort surrendered on condi tions that the soldiers should be paroled for exchange. But as a mat ter of course. John and Charles were not paroled, but soldiers un See FORT MACON.

Jerry Willis, an eighth grade student at Camp Glenn school, pre sented two numbers on the saxo 'phoi.J: His mother, Mrs. Fred 1 Willis, accompanied him on the piano. After playing Liebestraum and Lilly Polka he was called back for an encore. For this he chose a light catchy arrangement which de lighted everyone. Will You Remember, a waltz by Romberg, was lovely but was topped by the march. On the Mall. While the tubas, clarinets and French horns played, other mem bers of the band sang "la" and then < whistled. The ovation was so long and loud that the director, Ralph Wade, called on Bill Merrill to do a drum solo with band accompani ; ment, as an encore. There have j been many requests since the winter concert for this number, ? Drumnastics, to be repeated. The background for the drum was , Dixie melodies. When not playing the drums, Merrill plays the tuba. / The Clarion quartet sang the old favorites, 1 Only Want a Buddy I Not a Sweetheart, Tenting Tonight j and Oh! Dem Golden Slippers. The i quartet is composed of Bobby Bell, [ Albert McElmon, Wade, the band f director, and Merrill, who is sub stituting for William Lloyd, the * original member who is in the i Army.

Walker, member of the Emeritus club, Morehead City, which is promoting the project. The petitions will be forwarded from the various towns to the gov ernor, W. Kerr Scott. The petition reads as follows: Due to the increased traffic and intermittent crowded conditions of highway route 70 from the coast to New Bem and in New Bern, we, the undersigned, hereby petition his excellency, the governor of North Carolina and the State High way and Public Works commission to build a road from Havelock to Pollocksville to connect with high way No. 12 to Kinston and to widen No. 70 from Cherry Point to More head City. r as ine western union siriKei enters its fourth week, local office managers, B. C. Vickery in Beau fort, and Louis Norris, Morehead City, expressed little hope for a set tlement within the next few days. "I'm simply dumbfounded about the situation." Norris remarked yesterday. "All we wanted was a renewal of our contract as it was and the company wasn't even will ing to give us that." Norris and Vickery are members of the Com merci al Telegraphers Union (AFL), The CTU contract with Western Union expired April 1 and the strike started April 3. Both Vickery and Norris said there has been a great deal of mis understanding on the part of the public as to what the CTU wants. "We don't want a 50 cent an hour raise. I know that's impossible," remarked Norris. "I don't expect a $4 a day raise." Vickery said they would be satisfied with a 25 per cent increase. Both men deplored the fact that the salary of the president of West ern Union was raised $12,000 an nually and executive vice presi dents of the company given a 15 per cent salary increase just two weeks ago. Strike Effective "There arc not ',300 offices open as the company claims." Vickery remarked yesterjay. "The strike is 98 per cent effective. When the company gives that 1,300 figure they're counting little agencies like drug stores which will take tele grams." "Of the 800 workers in Wash ington, D. C.. there are only four on the job there," he continued. "Of the 2,000 in Chicago, 24 are working. an<i in Denver, thwr i> only one.1' The telegraph ers who are working are super visors or district managers. The striking Western Union em ployees are receiving no remunera tion during the strike. In the CTU are 31,000 telegraphers. The CTU points accusingly al tlu* company for giving the American Communications association, a for mer CIO affiliate, a 16-cent an hour raise recently and a new contract. The ACA has 5,500 members. Both Norris and Vickery reported that the ACA was kicked out of the CIO not long ago for its pro-Com munist bent.
