County Approves Four Bond Issues
Beaufort Board
Exempts Town
From Blue Law

Roadbed Repair Work
# Commissioners Get
1960-61 Audit
The Beaufort town board of com
missioners, in session Monday
night at the town hall, voted unan
imously to exempt the town from
state blue laws. Three members
of the Beaufort Merchants associa
tion, J. O. Barbour, Gilbert Pot
ter and Leslie -Moore, appeared
before the board and asked that
the commissioners take the action
that would allow Sunday business.
Under the blue law statute, which
prohibits certain Sunday business,
a town may exempt itself by a
majority vote of its governing
board.
Commissioner John Jones report
ed to the board that he had held
another conversation with A. T.
Leary concerning repairs to the
railroad right of way on Broad
street. The repairs, which were
supposed to have been started by
now, have been delayed until Jan.
15 due to loss of revenue to the
railroad from the tanker Potomac
fire, according to Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones said that Mr. Leary
wants the town to make temporary
repairs on Broad street crossings
and bill the railroad for the work.
The board indicated that this
would be done.
Town building inspector Gerald
Woolard also appeared before the
board to ask permission to remove
candemned buildings on three
properties. Mr. Woolard said that
he has received reports of people
staying in the houses at night and
suggested that the to#n have the
buildings removed at the owner’s
expense. Mr. Woolard was asked
to delay action until town attorney
Claud Wheatly could look into the
matter.
Frank P. Wall of Williams and
Wall, auditors, met with the board
to go over details of his company’s
audit of the town’s financial situa
tion. The statement of the audit
appears in today’s paper. ' One
suggestion tendered by Mr. Wall
was that tax collections be deposit
ed each time they reach $250 as
required by law. Previously these
collections have been deposited on
a weekly basis.
By a unanimous vote, the board
approved transferring $15,000 of
the general fund surplus to the
debt service fund for the retire
ment of outstanding bonds. This
amount was specified as addition
al to the regular deposits in the
debt service fund.
Present at the meeting, in addi
tion to mayor W. H. (Piggie) Pot
ter, commissioner Jones and town
attorney Claud Wheatly, were com
missioners W. R. Hamilton, Earl
Mades, Frank Morning, and Dr.
David Farrior.
Fish Boat, Two
Cruisers Aided
The fishing boat Edna and cabin
cruisers I Go II and Moselle were
objects of Coast Guard assists this
week, according to Fort Macon as
sistance reports.
The Edna, a 29-foot fishing ves
sel, was towed from Beaufort inlet
to the Sinclair docks, Morehead
City, Monday afternoon by the Fort
Macon 40-footer. Engine failure
had stalled the Edna. Joseph D.
Rose, Morehead City, is the boat’s
owner.
Assists to the I Go II and the Mo
selle were made Wednesday. The
I Go II, a 33-foot cabin cruiser
owned by James V. Igoe of New
Jersey, developed engine failure in
Core creek, near light No. 29 and
had to be towed to the Morehead
City yacht basin. Making the as
sist was the 40-footer.
The Moselle, a 28-foot cabin
cruiser owned by D. E. Haven, El
kins Park, Pa., also developed en
gine failure Wednesday and was
towed from Fleming’s fishing pier
to the Sinclair docks, Morehead
City, by the 40-footer.
Coast Guard crewmen on the
three assists were James Pittman,
BM-1; Rethel Brannon, EN-3;
Robert H. Woodard, SN, Quinn Al

Dr. S. W. Hatcher Heads
Chamber of Commerce
Dr. S. W. Hatcher was elected
president of the greater Morehead
City chamber of commerce Mon
day night and J. A. DuBois was
re-employed as manager by the
directors. Mr. DuBois was assured,
by the new board of directors, that
he would have adequate office help.
Other officers are George Huntley
Jr., vice-president, and Josiah
Bailey, treasurer.
Ways of trimming the 1962 bud
get, without reducing effectiveness
of the chamber’s program, were
discussed. It was agreed that the
first step would be to take care of
current obligations and balance the
budget. A balance of $733.61 was
reported by the manager.
Advertising expenditures of 1961
were reviewed and each member
received a suggested outline of the
program for 1962. The board ex
pressed its appreciation to Nor
wood Young for his services as
publicist and expressed the hope
that he could be re-employed dur
ing the coming year.
Directors noted that the follow
ing sports-fishing connected busi
nesses cooperated with the cham
ber during 1961:
Triple-Ess pier, Oceanana pier,
Sportsman's pier, Morehead Beach
pier, Iron Steamer pier, Bogue In
let pier.
The Danco, the Carolina Queen,
Ottis Lucky 7, Dave and Leroy
Gould, Ira Morris Kamp, Rainbow
Inn.
L. T. Smith’s Fishing camp, Cape
Lookout Boat Basin Sport Center,
Bill Fox’s Bait, Morehead City
Yacht Basin, Anchorage Lodge.
It has been proposed that the
charter boats, fishing camps, fish
ing piers, yacht basins and launch
ing ramps listed in the chamber’s
new brochure and vacation map
will be restricted to these, as will
photos and news releases to the
press, radio and tv in 1962.
S. A. Chalk, retiring president of
the chamber, commended retiring
members of the board E. II. Swann
.and George McNeill for their ser
vices during the past three years.
He also expressed appreciation to
J. R. Sanders, retiring chamber
treasurer, who has served in that
office since May 7, 1956.
Mr. Chalk was given a vote of
thanks for his services by all cham
ber members at the recent dinner
at the Biltmore- hotel.
Attending the board meeting, in
addition to those mentioned, were
Frank Cassiano, George D. Phil
lips, and Ben Alford, new directors;
W. E. Baugham, Garland Scruggs

Woman, Charged with Murder, Freed
Nancy Marie Debrix, Beaufort,
indicted by the grand jury this
week for the murder of John Tyson
Aug. 14, was freed by a jury at
11:40 a.m. Wednesday. The jury
deliberated for more than two
hours.
Judge Walter J. Bone finished
his charge to the jury after 5 p.m.
Tuesday. The jury retired as soon
as court resumed Wednesday
morning.
The state had asked that the
jury find the Debrix woman “guil
ty of second degree murder or
manslaughter as the facts may
warrant.” Judge Bone told the
jury it could make its choice
among three possible decisions:
guilty of murder in the second de
gree (intentional killing of another
person with malice), manslaugh
ter, or not guilty.
Tyson died as the result of a
shotgun wound in his side.
Solicitor Robert N. Rouse Jr.,
relative to the defendant’s conten
tion that she shot in self-defense,
told the jury it had to determine
whether she actually acted in self
defense. He contended that Nancy
Grand Jurors
Repeat Request
For Higher Pay
• Five Schools Cited
In Report
• Improvements Sought
At Airport
Grand jurors, in their report to
judge Walter J. Bone Wednesday,
again recommended that the fee
paid grand jurors be raised to $10
a day and travel expense be rais
ed from 5 cents to 6 cents per
mile. The former grand jury made
a similar recommendation.
The jurors also asked that the
sheriff’s department take further
steps for better law enforcement
in the Cedar Point area.
Residents of that area requested
more law enforcement this sum
mer. The sheriff’s department and
state highway patrol have stepped
up activities there.
The grand jury report of this
week commented, “Since this area
is on the edge of the county, the
immediate availability of county
law officers is difficult under pres
ent conditions. In view of these
circumstances, it is recommended
that the sheriff's department in
vestigate the conditions with con
! siderations made to providing dep
j ulies, additional military police
patrols and other law enforcement
! as appropriate.”
In addition to the “overcrowded
conditions and inadequate facili
ties” at schools, which are "recog
nized by the communities,” the
grand jury made the following
recommendations:
• Beaufort school—drainage of
an area at the east end of the
school yard, which during rainy
weather floods to a distance 30
feet from the railroad trestle. %
• Newport school—questioned eP
fectiveness of fire extinguishers,
which were last tested in Septem
ber 1959

was not telling the truth and re
cited four different versions she
gave of the shooting.
He said that the first doubt
arises in Nancy's refusing to leave
the house where she and Tyson,
her common-law husband lived,
when Beaufort’s police chief, Guy
Springlc, was summoned there by
Tyson. He said testimony reveal
ed that John wouldn’t let her
leave the bouse, but when she
could have gone "under the pro
tection of the police chief,” she
didn’t.
He recalled testimony by the
witness wherein she told a neigh
bor, after she had shot Tyson, “I
was tired of John. Every time he
got to drinking, he beat me up.
If I hadn’t done something to him,
he would have done something to
me.”
Then she told the police chief,
the solicitor recalled, that John
"was coming at me with a knife.”
But the only knife the chief could
find, Mr. Rouse commented, was
a folded-up pocket knife in his
pants pocket.

County Approves Lease
J0n Front Street Building
County comissioncrs approved a
lease Monday afternoon with Les
lie Moore for rental from Oct. 2,
1961 to June 2, 1962 of Mr. Moore’s
Front street building, Beaufort.
The building is the former C. D.
Jones store and will be used as a
surplus food distribution center.
The rent is $103 a month.
The board approved payment of
the $1,000 it had budgeted for civil
.defense radio. Machine and Sup
ply Co., Beaufort, was low bidder
on the equipment.
Luther Hamilton Jr„ county at
torney, was asked to contact More
head City Shipbuilding’s referee
in bankruptcy relative to getting
the property back on a tax-paying
basis and also collecting back
taxes.
The firm is one of two taxpayers
in the county that owes more than
$1,000. Moses Howard, board
chairman, agreed to check on the
other party which owes more than
$1,000, W. H. Garner, heirs.
The board denied a request by
Lionel Mason, Atlantic, who asked
that interest and penalties be writ
ten off his back taxes. The prop
erty is listed in the name of Thur
man Mason and amount dne is
$195.73.
At the request of Herbert Phil
lips III, Morebead City, officer in
the Central Coastal Carolina De
velopment Board, Inc., the com
missioners agreed to pass a reso
lution which would make it un
necessary for the corporation to
follow the routine procedure in in
corporating the firm. The board
was organized to promote indus

couldn’t calmly fold his knife up
and put it back in his pocket,
could he?” Mr. Rouse asked the
jurors.
Another story she told, the so
licitor said, was that John didn’t
come after her with a knife, but
with a brick hammer (a tool used
to tap bricks into place as they’re
laid).
Still another version that she re
lated, the solicitor continued, was
that he came at her with ‘‘balled
up fists.”
Mr. Rouse demonstrated, with
the .12-gauge single barrel shot
gun used in the killing, that she
couldn’t have “picked-up the gun
and fired without meaning to
shoot him.”
“In anger, she got the gun and
fired at him,” the solicitor assert
ed.
He referred to the statements by
the defense attorney, judge Luther
Hamilton, that Nancy was of good
reputation. Mr. Rouse said that
a woman with a string of convic
tions for liquor violations, who was
living with a man out of wedlock,

Harrell Taylor, building inspec
tor, asked the board to make sev
eral amendments to the county
building code. The board agreed,
providing the planning commis
sion, which recommended adop
tion of the code, gives its approval.
D. G. Bell, state highway com
missioner, appeared before the
board. Improvements to the
Creech road were discussed, as
well as the possibility of the state’s
paving the road to the Barbour
property proposed as a hospital
site.
The county attorney was expect
ed to hear yesterday from New
York bond attorneys as to wheth
er the county could borrow money
for the proposed county hospital
under present conditions.
Commissioner S. A. Chalk said
he thinks there is a question as
to whether the money can be bor
rowed unless the courts have ruled
on a suit such as that which was
filed against the county commis
sioners relative to the hospital.
Even though the case has been
dismissed, Mr. Chalk said he is
under the impression that in 12
months the suit can be rcinstituted
on the same grounds.
The discussion arose relative to
the county’s making a commitment
on the Barbour property.
The board passed a resolution
transferring cash balances in two
special bond accounts to the court
house and jail bond account for

accounts were set up have been

was “not a virtuous woman.”
The solicitor told the jurors,
“None of us is safe if one can
shoot down another and then mere
ly cite as an excuse ‘self-defense’.”
Judge Bone, reviewing the evi
dence, commented that chief Sprin
gle had been called to the Tyson
house, told them to settle their
argument peaceably, and about 40
minutes later had received a call
from Evelyn Garrison, reporting
that Tyson had been shot.
Before the shooting, Nancy had
taken broken eye glasses and some
of her clothing to the Garrison
house and told Evelyn that she
was going to move out.
After the shooting, Nancy asked
Evelyn to come sit with her. Eve
lyn asked permission to go look
at John, who was lying on the
floor in the house, about 15 feet
from the front door. Evelyn said
that when she went in, John raised
up slightly, and said, “Mama.”
Evelyn also testified' that there
was a mark on Nancy’s face where
her glasses had been before John
allegedly knocked them off and
broke them.

George W. Dill, mayor of More
head City, attributes failure of the
bond issues, statewide, to “lack of
understanding and a bad selling
job at the upper level:” He said
that he felt people did not pay
enough attention to state treas
urer Edwin Gill’s statement that
no new taxes would be involved-.
“The intent of the bond issue was
progressive — ports, mental hos
pitals and institutions of higher ed
ucation," the mayor said. “The
administration will have to dig
down and make provisions for our
population explosion.”
He said he felt the returns indi
cate that “government is still in
the hands of the people." '
D. G. Bell, Morehead City, who
was in the legislature when the
proposal to put the bond issues be
fore the people was approved, said
yesterday that the bonds got beat
“for so many reasons.”
He said he felt that the vote was
an indication of resentment against
additional taxes. The widespread
opposition was not anticipated and
therefore intense effort to promote
the bonds was not exerted.
A lot of people didn’t understand
the bond issues — that this is the
only way the state can finance cap
ital improvements if it can’t fi
nance them out of surplus funds,
the former legislator said.
Among the “againers” were
those who are always opposed to
any progress, Mr. Bell comment
ed, plus those who arc “anti-ad
ministration,” and even though
they understood the bond issues
and the need, “egged the ignorant
ones on” in opposition.
The State Ports Authority now
plans to finance its needed im
provements through sale of revenue
bonds.
This path was not originally pur
sued by the SPA, Mr. Bell said,
because the interest rate on bonds,
backed by the entire state, would
be less than that charged on bonds
sold with only port revenue as se
curity.
that Nancy had said she "had tak
en all she could,” that she had
been living with Tyson 10 years
and had been in their present
house a year, both of them buying
furniture for it.
Judge Bone mentioned testimony
to the effect that during the course
of the argument between the two,
John locked the door and then
knocked Nancy down; that as Nan
cy reached back to open the door,
her hand touched the gun. When
she held the gun on him, he told
her it was not loaded.
The judge commented that the
defendant said Tyson bad once
stabbed her in the back and one
time had choked her until she was
unconscious.
Both chief Springle and assist
ant chief Carlton Garner testified
that Tyson was dangerous and vio
lent and "hard to .get along with
when he drank.”

Newport Board
Bans Fire Trucks
From Two Areas
After Dec. 31 of this year trucks
from the Newport fire department
will not answer calls to Broad
Creek and Mill Creek unless resi
dents of those areas make some
agreement to help finance the fire
program. Action was taken by
Newport town commissioners Tues
day night at the town hall.
The board discussed the fact
that residents in the two areas have
not responded to calls for finan
cial help from the fire association.
They agreed that trips to the out
lying areas by fire trucks are too
expensive, without receiving com
pensation.
The board also discussed the
contract with the rural fire asso
ciation, which ends Dec. 31. The
board favors the association put
ting the $1,200 it now has into a
fund for new fire equipment. If
this is done, the town would agree
to receive no compensation for
fighting rural fires until July 1,
1962.
In other action, Robert K. Berg
appeared before the board to pro
test a horse stable being built too
close to his home. The commis
sioners authorized police chief Dan
Bell to talk to the owner of the
stable, Robert Thompson, and ad
vise him of regulations covering
the matter.
Bobby Jones asked the board for
a right-of-way from his home to
the Nine-Foot road, across town
property. Jones already has an
outlet, but would like another in
front of hia home, The board
granted the right-of-way on condi
tion that should the town ever want
to close the road in the future, it
could do so.
Present at the meeting were
Mayor Leon Mann Jr., the clerk,
Miss Edith Lockey, town attorney
George Ball and commissioners
Raymond Edwards, Steve Smith,
C. H. Lockey and John B. Kelly.
