But It Was Too Late .
i
It was the morning of Saturday, Nov
20 1954. From the rura, gectjong of
Carteret County farmers and their fam
ilies were going to town in their pick
up trucks and automobiles; a few fish
ermen from outlying sectiofis were rid
ing into Beaufort and Morehead City in
their trawlers.
Storekeepers were taking their last
gulp of coffee and glancing at their
watches to make sure they got down
town to open the store on time. It would
be a big weekend, the last one before
tne Thanksgiving holiday.
It was a clear, cold November day.
had fa"en during the night, but
now the sun was out and only a few
puddles remained in the gutters. If one
listened sharply, he could h<?ar high
overhead, beyond range of human
sight, the high-pitched swoosh of jets
as they left Cherry Point.
Then suddenly, BO-OM! People in
the streets staggered or threw their
arms over their eyes as a blinding flash
hit from nowhere. BO-OM! Along the
mam street of Morehead City buildings
shook, plate glass windows shattered
and all of a sudden the front walls
crumbled forward, bricks were hurled
high, screams mingled with crashing of
glass and gagging clouds of dust.
The planes overhead were not from
Cherry Point.
From his lookout tower at Fort Ma
con, the Coast Guardsman on watch,
who was knocked momentarily to the
floor by the first blast, had picked him
self up and trained his binoculars on
the movie-like scene across the inlet.
Flames were shooting up from the
main street of Beaufort. The Duncan
building, at Turner and Front, if it was
there, was obscured by smoke, evil
black, angry smoke. The railroad draw
across Gallant's channel hung in two
parts, like a broken toothpick. The
highway bridge? It had vanished.
To the west, rising in the sky was a
tremendous cloud, soaring higher and
higher and blossoming out at the top
like a flower. Farther to the north was
a similar cloud. BO-OM 1 Another blast.
The Coast Guardsman in the tower was
no more. That one exploded almost di
rectly above the port at Morehead City.
A blinding flash shot out in all direc
tions as another cloud mushroomed to
the sky. Oil storage tanks were seas of
fire. And the fire ran with the churn
ing tides of Newport River, the oil burn
ing fiercely as the waters carried the
flames against marshes, docks and
along the waterfront of Morehead City.
The highway bridge across the river
was pushed by some giant force out
ward, part of its span lying near the
splintered dock that until that morn
ing was used by Aviation Fuel Ter
minals.
The water storage tower, the tall sil
ver landmark just west of 5th Street
in Morehead City, crumpled under blast
pressure and tons of water inundated
that section of the town, picking up
everything in its path and bobbing it
along like corks.
In five minutes it was over. Anyone
not burned, gravely injuaed, panicked
? or dead ? might have heard even
then the sound of planes high over
head. They might even have seen one
plane, a mammoth torch, spiraling
downward into the ocean off Salter
Path. But none of the earth-bound suf
ferers knew that some of the planes
at Cherry Point, not destroyed on the
ground, were .now driving off the at
tacker. It was some days later that sur
vivors in the Beaufort-Morehead City
area learned that the enemy jets had
swept in for a surprise attack from a
base in Central America.
Not one part of the county went
without feeling the devastating effect
of the blasts. As a matter of fact, radio
activity was evident within a radius of
? hundred miles of the stricken area.
For the first five days after the at
tack, those who could move were wear
ily digging in the rubble of the streets.
Yes, there were bodies. Of men who a
few days before were laughing over
cups of coffee in the drug store. Of
women who a few nights ago were
playing bridge at the Recreation Cen
ter.
There was a horrible pall of disbe
lief over those who remained. Things
like that just couldn't happen to them!
They didn't know if food was safe to
eat. Water? Some folks attempted to
purify sea water. They didn't realize
that it, too, was radio-active.
Federal aid finally came. But it was
late in getting to the out-of-the-way
Beaufort and Morehead City section.
Other cities along the eastern seaboard,
hit in the same surprise attack had to
be taken care of first, cities where the
populations ran into the hundreds of
thousands.
How did it happen? Why wasn't
there warning > Was radar useless?
Who was caught napping the morning
the bombs dropped? There was much
talk, much explanation. There was war.
People died in Carteret County those
first few weeks after the Nov. 20 at
tack. People who would have been
saved if they cbuld have been evacu
ated by boat. People who would have
had the needed food, water and medi
cal care if some preparation had been
made to meet an emergency.
Other towns were bombed and they
fared better because in the days of
peace they had taken steps to help
themselves should disaster strike.
But the people of Carteret County
did not.
In spite of peace-time warnings, they
had scoffed at civil defense.
Tobacco Holds Its Own
The cancer-cigarette scare of past
months seems to have little effect on
the market prices. Reports from the
Carolinas Border Belt area this week
indicated a general increase in price
over the first tobacco marketed last
year.
General averages ranged from $48 to
$52 a hundred pounds, and top quality
at $70, but the Federal-State Market
ing Service which grades the leaf, on
the warehouse floors, also said the gen
eral quality of the tobacco this year
was below last. This was due to the
drought which hit farmers in both
North and South Carolina.
The downward trend in cigarette out
put reversed in May. The slump start
ed last November when there was an
outpouring of statements that there
may be some connection between ill
health and smoking.
So all in all, the worrying tobacco
people were doing seems to have been
for naught.
When a Light Is Not a Light
The stop lights in Morehead City
have been up since the first of July and
they're still not working. We were told
several times that there are some elec
trical adjustments to be made, so along
with all the other motorists, we just
waited.
Maybe by today they will be work
ing. If not, we believe signs should be
placed under them to the effect that
they are NOT in operation. Several
near-accidents have occurred because
strangers going along the street sud
denly see the light and slam on their
brakes to try to figure out whether it's
red or green.
Should the signals go into operation,
it will take local motorists at least a
week to get used to the fact that the
lights, finally, are acting as signal
lights should.

The Readers Write Did You Know?
Washington, D. C.
July 30, 1954
To The Editor:
Several weeks ago my wife and
I visited Barkers Island. With us
were our son, Paul, and his girl
friend, Mary Peterson, of this city.
We were visiting Captain Yeomans
and his wife, also Capt. Stacy Da
vis.
Our meals were mostly seafood
featuring clams.
We were over to the Outer Banks
with a party and had an oyster
roast on the natural rocks where
they grew. We also raked some
clams, and then walked over to the
beach and found lots of beautiful
seashells. Some of our party went
swimming in the surf.
There were about 15 in our party
and we all had a good time without
spending a lot of money. Capt.
Plymouth Guthrie was our boat
man.
I noticed that some very small
clams were being taken by rakes.
It shAuld not be allowed as it would
be more profitable to wait
until they grow larger. In years
to come, we will see this mistake.
I also saw many small fish drift
ing in the sound, and when I asked
why, I was told they were sorted
out of the larger fish and were
thrown overboard. It seems to me
this should be looked after.
We all enjoyed our visit to the is
land and were sorry when the time
came to leave. We spent a week
there last summer and took a trip
to Cedar Island. There was pretty
much going on there, but many
years ago it was almost unknown.
There is no place on the Atlantic
coast from Revere Beach, Mass., to
Key West, Fla., where one can rest
and completely relax and enjoy life
as one can from Bogue Sound to
Cape Hatteras, N. C.
Markers Island is coming to the
front. I remember when the only
transportation from Harkers Island
was by skiff. At times it was a
beautiful sail, and at others, when
the wind was ahead, it was very
slow and uncomfortable.
It is quite different now. You
go over the bridge by automobile
and you're in Beaufort in a few
minutes.
I noticed in your fishing edition
of Nov. 13, 1951 a story about Bert
S. Davis of Harkers Island having
52 grandchildren and 12 great
grandchildren. Hats off to you
Bert. That's something to be proud
of.

Rambling Through Carteret
By F. C. SALISBURY Newport, may not seem very sig
Should you be coming to the
coast by way of New Bern over
Highway 70 you are again remind
ed about the days of the Civil War.
Following the battle and capture
of New Bern in 1862, Federal
forces took this route to Morehead
City where on April 25, 1862 the
battle and surrender of Fort Macon
took place. Over this road, time and
again, the Federal forces marched
from their camps at Newport and
Carolina City to protect the cap
tured town of New Bern and to
engage in battles tn that vicinity.
Today one passes through a por
tion of Croatan National Forest
immediately after crossing the Car
teret-Craven County line. After
leaving the forest, the pines reced
ed from the highway, making room
for the numerous Httle homes
which have sprung up west of New
port between that town and the
Cherry Point Marine Corps Air
Base. Many house civilian and Ma
rine families who work on the
base.
From a small crossroads trading
center, established over 100 years
ago and known as Bell's Corners,
came the present-day village of
Newport, the first town you come
to after entering the county. Often
called the "gateway" to the county,
it received its name from a group
of Quakers coming from Newport,
Rhode Island, in 1721 who settled
in the vicinity of the present town,
giving both the town and river
which flows nearby the name of
their former residence.
The formation of the first
Quaker Monthly Meeting took
place in Newport at the home of
William Borden. According to
early records of Friends, under
date of 1733-August 1: "Several
families of Friends being settled
on Newport River, North Carolina,
well mucerned for truth, thought
it their duty to gather together,
which was concluded by us and to
meet together on the first day of
the week and the first day of the
month at the home of William Bor
den." Out of this gathering grew
the Core Sound Monthly Meeting,
which society existed in the county
for one hundred years.
Newport was the site of one of
the first Peabody achools in the
state. This society bought a large
tract of land on which was erected
a fine school building, serving that
community for many years The
town Is rated as the third largest
in population within the county.
CroHlng Newport River, a little
picturMqua stream just out at
111 1 ivti 111 uimi ,vuui nuciuiiMi is van
ed to the fact that it is one of
three large rivers which rise and
flow entirely within the confines
nf the county. The other two rivers
are the North and South which
have their source within the Open
Grounds to the east.
"There goes the bunny and there
goes your money" was the saying
for the past five years, when the
dog racing track waa in operation
during the summer months. You
will notice 'the layout of this (port
ing venture just after you pass the
junction of Route 24 with TO. Re
cent court injunctions shut down
this amusement center and the
prospects are that it will not be
allowed to open. No more "read
'em and weep" when you got the re
sults of the race.
A sign from a post at the en
trance to a parkway just east of
the race track, says "Bogue Sound
Club." The building at the end of
this parkway, the home of the club,
is the former Morehead Villa, the
last vestige of a real estate ven
ture of the boom daya of 25 years
ago. The bubble burst in the eraah
that followed. Out of the project
has risen a fine residential section
known as Mansfield Park.
The approach to Morehead City
greets you with road houses. mo
Ms and out-door theatres. The
small community of Camp Glenn
took its name from the large camp
grounds in that vicinity which for
many years served as the camp
site for the National State Guards.
The cluster of grey buildings you
will notice along the Sound were
erected during World War II, serv

By r. I. SALISBURY
That: While the eight-sided or
octagon house of J. S. Jones at
Cedar Point is not as old as some in
the county, yet it is the most
unique. This house was built in
185S when houses of this type
were being erected throughout the
nation.
The most famous of all polygonal
houses iii America was built by the
phrenologist, Orson S. Fowler at
Fishltill on the Hudson in 1848. He
wrote a book on the Octagon Mode
of building which prompted the
building of octagon houses from
Cape Cod to California. The au
thor proved that more cubage
could be obtained in an octagon
than in the rectangular house hav
ing an equal area of enclosing
walls. Although the idea was basi
cally sound, the buildings were
ridiculed because they looked
strange.
That: for more than a half cen
tury, R. T. Willis Sr.. of Morehead
City has continuously been an ac
tive businessman, conducting a re
tail .general store and for a short
time engaged in the wholesale gro
cery business. This length of ser
vice entitles Mr. Willis to the
honor of being the oldest merchant
in years of continuous service in
the city. Had D. M. Webb con
tinued in active business to the
present time, he would have beat
Mr. Willis out by a few months.
"Webbs Since 1884."
That: Bridges Arendell Jr., the
first mayor of Morehead City, ap
pointed by the Secretary of State
when the city was incorporated in
1861, and his brother, Thomas,
were members of the regiment sta
tioned at Fort Macon during the
battle which took plac# April 25,
1862. It is said that their mother,
Sarah Arendell kept to her bed
room all day of the battle praying
for the safety of her sons and other
soldiers engaged in thn conflict.
That: The first brick house built
in the county was on the planta
tion of Robert Williams which is
now part of Carteret Lodge on the
Mill Creek Road. As he was ship
owner he brought the brick from
England for the building of the
house. Willisms is credited with
being the first person to try out
the method of making salt from
sea water in this section.
That: Beaufort had a newspaper
71 years ago, 1883, published under
the nsmc of the Carteret County
Telephone, L. A. Potter and R. W.
Chadwick, editors and publishers.
From the issue of Friday, Jan. 19,
1883 the following information is
obtained: city directory, L. A.
Potter, mayor; R. W. Chadwick,
clerk; W. Robinson, treasurer;
Richard Rice, constable.
The Davis House was being oper
sted by Miss Sarah A. Davis. R.
W. Chadwick waa principal of the

emy. Churches and pastors: St.
Paul's, E. M. Forbes; Ann Street
M. E? N. M. Jarney; Baptist. Wn.

The Ocean View Hotel was be

Wilkins and Harding were suing
the Morehead City Hotel Co. for
the sum of 94.4M with interest
A bridge wss being built across
White Oak River at Barkersville.
The Crab Point Lumber mill waa
being run by A. M. Fsles.
That: Purchase was made under
date of May 3, 1830 by the U. S.
Government of IB acres of land at
Cape Lookout for $75 for the pur
pose of erecting thereon s light
house and other buildings. The
purchsse was made from Elijah
Pigott and his wife, Charlotte, and
other owners. They received the
rights of self and heirs to fish on
the shores of the Cape.

year to bring about integration,
in accordance with the recent Su
preme Court decision. The cases
will involve several communities
in the western part of the State,
which Negro attorneys feel will in
volve less 'heat' and therefore re
sult in perhaps speedier action."
Y DC HICKORY RALLY ... A lot
of Democrats got together in Hick
ory this past weekend. It all re
minded me of an auction, where
everybody goes expecting to get
something for nothing and winds
up getting nothing for something.
Main object of most delegates
present seemed to be to get a drift
on the next Governor s race. They
learned that we may have from
three to six candidates. Little else
did they learn ? but nearly every
body was there.
GETTING AROUND . . Speaking
of the next Governor of North Car
olina, he has been getting around
over the state a lot lately, making
public appearances and meeting in
private conversations with select
groups in order to get their sup
port.
However, it must be admitted
that, for the most part, he has been
received with a good deal of cau
tion and very few outright com
mitments.
He, of course, has not yet public
ly announced his decision to be a
candidate - and is telling close
friends it is still too early to do
so.
Those who hold political office
by gubernatorial appointment, and
those who aspire to appointive of
fices are particularly cautious
around him, but yet attempt to be
friendly.
They are as cautious as a June
bride in his presence.
Now if everyone knew with cer
tainty his identity, he would be so
popular and so swamped with at
tention that he could neither move
nor carry on the necessary routine
of a normal life. But, on the oth
er hand, if everybody would pledge
their support and efforts in his be
half, he would certainly be nomin
ated a year from next May. Look
ing at the candidacy business ?
bandwagon strength, etc. ? the
whole business seems a little silly,
doesn't it? Or, he who has great
strength, gets additional ditto.
ATHLETIC NOTE: . . . Last year
about this time we mentioned here
Bill Bailey, son of the State Pris
ons director, as one of the up
and-coming young athletes appar
ently headed for Duke, but sought
after by many. If Bill, who stands
six feet and weighs 200, does well,
then his cousin should do equally
well and will bear watching by the
colleges. He is Tom Bailey, son of
the manager of the Bryan Rock and
Sand Co. here. He is 16, is six
feet, four inches tall, weighs 225,
and has three more years of high
school football ahead of him.
Look out!
It's August, but football practice
is beginning all over the land ?
