Melva Taylor
Hurt Saturday
In Rifle Accident
A five-hour session on the operat
ing table at Sea Level Hospital
followed the accidental shooting
at 4 p.m. Saturday of Melva Lane
Taylor, 16, of Williston.
Miss Taylor was rushed to the
hospital by her sister after a bul
let from a .22 calibre rifle lodged
in her abdomen. Sheriff Hugh Sal
ter said that the bullet was acci
dentally fired by Willard Solic
Sanders, 16.
Miss Taylor is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Taylor, Wil
liston. She was reported in a fair
condition at the hospital yesterday.
According to the sheriff, San
ders, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter W. Sanders, and Vannie Eugene
Willis, 15, were shooting target
back of the Taylor home. Melva
and a friend, Sandra Ann Willis,
14, came along and the two boys
went into a tooi shed.
The girls went with them and
while they were standing there,
the gun went off. The bullet went
through Melva's left arm and side
and into her abdomen.
Sheriff Salter said that the rifle
had a hair-like trigger action and
Sanders' hand accidentally touched
the trigger. No chargcs were filed
against the youth.
Florida Strong-Arm Tactics
Send Many Shrimpers Home
Many of the- N o r t h Carolina*
shrimpers operating in Florida wa
ters are coming home.
The state of Florida has sudden
ly clamped down on the taking of
small shrimp. Shrimpers say the
dealers want the small shrimp,
but the state has announced that
the small shrimp cannot be mar
keted.
Because the size of the mesh
is not limited, small shrimp taken
must be thrown overboard ? dead.
Deputies armed with pistols have
boarded trawlers and examined
catches. Some shrimp fishermen
have been put in jail and others,
who are able post bond. Dealers
have gone to the state capital,
Tallahassee, to plead their case,
but little is expected to result from
their protests.
One deputy going aboard a North
Carolina shrimper declared. "If
you North Carolina fellows hadn't
killed all the small and big shrimp
in North Carolina, you wouldn't
be down here!"
| Shrimping, as a whole has been
good in Florida, but many of the
boats can't meet expenses now,
since most of their catch has to
be thrown overboard.
Although there was some talk
of the large trawlers going into
Georgia, dealers interested in the
idea express some doubt that it
would be worthwhile sincc it is so
late in the season.

County Board OK s Hiring
Special Collector of Taxes
Commissioners
Up Time on Lease
For Pond Site
The county board dccided yes
terday to permit leasing of prop
erty in West Beaufort to Charles
Davis and Eddie Copeland for 25
years for $400 a year.
The only dissenting vote came
from Commissioner Skinner Chalk
who said that he felt the period
was too long for too little money.
The board agreed several months
ago to lease the property for 10
years, with option to renew, but
Davis and Copeland felt that their
intended investment of $21,000 was
too much to put in an enterprise
that may be in their hands for
only 10 years.
This information was conveyed
to the board by Alvah llamitlon,
county attorney Wiley Taylor,
who represented Davis and Cope
land in the matter several months
ago, was at the meeting and said
that the prospective lessees did
not like a clause in the lease
which stipulates that the county
may take the property over at
any time.
Wanted Copy of Lease
Commissioner Chalk said that
he didn't sec how the county could
make a decision without the pro
posed lease in hand. Mr. Taylor
said he didn't have a copy of the
lease with him.
Davis and Copeland plan on
building a sports fishing pond on
the property which is west of the
West Beaufort bridge. Mr. Hamil
ton presented a sketch of the pro
posed pond. It would have an is
land in the middle and spoilage
from dredging would be deposited
as banks around the property.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Copeland
propose to stock the pond with
125,000 pounds of fish. Flood gates
would allow the free flow of tide
in the pond.
Mr. Hamilton commented that
on a previous occasion only one
objection was voiced and that

Deputy to Go After Unpaid
Personal Property Taxes
The county board of com mission- ?
crs, in session yesterday morning I
at the courthouse, authorized the
hiring of a deputy tax collector to
assist the tax collector. Eugene
Moore, in collecting delinquent
personal property taxes.
The board expressed the hope
that the deputy collector would
have to work only two to three
months to clean up unpaid per
sonal property taxes for 1955 and
prior years.
Taxes Due on Cars I
Mr. Moore and Sheriff Hugh Sal- [
ter estimated that between a quar
ter and a half of the unpaid per
sonal property taxes were on cars.
The tax collector said the only '
way to get the tax was to request '
payment under threat of taking
away the car. <
"If they don't pay, we'll tow the *
car in," Mr. Moore said. He said 1
that it would be impossible to do (
that himself, that he would need *
help. For that reason, the board
authorized hiring a deputy collcc- ?'
tor. (
Mr. Moore will find his man 1
and the board will confirm the }
appointment. 1
Continual Problem
Collection of personal property ,
taxes, a constant headache, came j
up again at the board meeting >
when Commissioner Skinner Chalk
asked Mr. Moore how many legal '
papers had been drawn to serve
on the backsliders.
Mr. Moore said that about 250
executions had been turned over \
to the sheriff but only a few had |
been served. Sheriff Hugh Salter
said that he did not intend to get ,
into the tax collecting business j
and turn widows out into the street.
Commissioner Chalk said he was <
not interested in working a hard- j
ship on widows, but he said that ?
people who can afford to pay their
taxes aren't paying them. \
Mr. Moore said that he had col- <
Iccted between $1,500 and $1J00
on delinquent 1955 personal ptop- 1
erty taxes. He estimates that per- I
sonal property taxes, past due, 1
amount to $30,000.
The tax collector said that if 1
the board did not sec fit to hire
a deputy collector, he would do ^
the best he could to collect the
taxes "like I always have."
The board agreed to pay the 1
deputy collector 25 per cent com- <
mission on all back taxes he col- k
Iccts. ,
Firemen Show i

Farmers Must Act at Once
To Get Civil Defense Funds
Farmer* interested in the coun
ty'! getting federal Civil Defense
funds for clearance of farm
?treama are asked to go to the
courthouse Immediately to pick up
form letters to be filled out.
Moaea Howard, chairman of the
county board, aaid that the county
has to get its applications to
ThomaavUle, Ga., by Sunday,
March 10.
Before March 10, the county will
have to compil* the necessary fig
ures, so the farmers must return
their reports on hurricane loss no
later than Thursday to the farm
agent's office.
A full copy of the letter to be fol
lowed was published in THE
NEWS-TIMES Jan. 11. Farmers
were asked to copy the letter, fill
in the blanks, and return it to
county ottklili.
To date, no letters have been re- '
ceivcd. Farm leaders have called
the matter to the attention of the '
farmers but many farmers say they [
can make no estimates such as the :
letter requests.
According to information from >
(.en. Edward Griffin, state Civil j
Defense director, no requests for
Funds for stream clearance will be
honored if they arrive at Thomas- '
villc after March 10.
Chairman Howard said that when
other counties receive their appro
priations, Carteret farmers will I
wonder why they're not getting any
Mp. Unless the farmera supply the i
necessary information Immediate- t
ly, the reason for "no help" will be i
that the farmers didn't do what <
they were supposed to, the county c
