ONE-CENT CHECK CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE When the Interstate Cooperage company on May 19, 1915 issued a check No. 8652 for the sum of one cent to Hinton Everett for "Error in writing check No. 7307,' little thought was given to its importance. The check was signed by J. B. Clark, cashier and J. J. Barrett, manager of the company. Ample time was allowed for th check to pass through the regular channel for clearance through the bank, however, several months pass vV and the check did not show up. Years went by and the company never ceased trying to clean up the one cent item in their "outstanding check" account. About the time the matter was nearly forgoten, it it happened that O. R. Connor wh was connected with the Cooperage company at that time, was visiting in '.i homo of D. W. Blount and there on the wall he spied the check, neatiy framed, e spied the check, neatly framed. Mr. Blount had thought the one cent check unusual and had framed it for a souvenir, and after keeping it or several years was reluctant to give it up. What appeared desperation a Coop erage company official found Hin ton Everett, issued him1 a duplicate c-Seck, personally escorted him o the bank, had him endorse the checcl; and receive the much wrangled over stim of one pe ny. Anyone wishing to see this check mtey do so by stopping at the Times office. . , o Sales Tax Ehdorsed V "' By Vanatta, Master Of State Grange Greensboro1, AJpril 17. E. S. Vanat ta, master of the North Carolina State Grange with a membership of 80,000 has come out in open sup port of the North Carolina general sales tax. "You may say that the sales tax is officially endorsed by E. S. Vanat ta, master cf the North Carolina State Grange," states a telegram North Carolina Association of Real from Mr. Vanatta, reecived by th Estate Boards. The association is fighting for the retention of the tax pntil a substitute equally fair and workable is found. The association's legislative com mittee says the gange master's sup port is typical of that being accord ed by many representative individuals and' organizations throughout the state. Mr. Vanatta's stand is taken to reflect the almost unanimous op position of the farr4 owners of the state to the overbearing tax bur den on real estate which the sales tax has relieved. This view is also shown in a re solution unaimously adopted by the North Carolina Educational associa tion with 12,000 members, at its re cent Raleigh meeting, the resolution reading as follows: "We request the general assembly to continue the maintenace of the state supported eight-mfonths term out of revenue derived from sources other than ad valorem taxes."

Stores (By Irving Meyerowitz)' The type of dry gcods store that we have today are different from those of the past. In the earier days some of the general merchandise stores carried dry goods in connsction with groceries and other merchandise. In order to recogrtze the good works "l luc ury ss, som of whom are now living in Belhaven, some of whom are liv ing in other towns and some of whom are living in another world, I will give the names of those who were connected with it. Let's go back to the days when Mr. M. R. King, who camte here from j Norfolk to purchase the first rail road tracks, was- nired. He ottered Mr. C. P. Aycock $20 a month to start a shop in order to make thi.i a trade center and at the same time use the service of the railroad tos-ip their products. Al that time the first dry goods store, which was operated by Moses Kramer, was situated on Water street, the busiest section of the town. Fate Oden had a general merchandise stere with dry goods, and C. P. Aycock bought out Moses Kramer. The late John Wilkinson ran store under the name of the Bel haven Mercantile company which he had purchased from the Allegheny Lunfer company. Mr. Aycock remov ed his etoek and combined it with that of the Belhaven, Mercantile com pany. Mr. C. C. Smith then opened a stere in the building which was for merly vecupied by Mr. Aycock, The TRANSIENT CAMP AT NAG'S HEAD A rehabilitation camp for tran sients was opened at Nag's Head this week according to an announcement made by Miss Pearl Weaver, direc tor of the transient program of the North Carolina relief program. A rehabiltation camp for1 tran sients will be opened at Na' Head Wednesday, Mas Miss M.

Cot- . ton in public storage an" at com- Johnston Brothers had a general mer chandise store on Water street. Taylor and Peele opened a dry goods store in the Houston buil-ing which is o Water street. Mr. C. C. Smjith bought out tie Belhaven Mer cantile store and called it the Clark- Smith company and the Raiff Broth ers opened a store in the building which was formerly occupied by C. C. Smith W. D. Wells, Ellis Rop?r, Sanderlain, J. M. Lupton, G. T. Swin dell, Smith and Bishop and D. L. Windley were also connected with the dry goods business. All the above happenings were during the latter part of the last century At the beginning of the 20th cea tury instead of general morchadiso stores we see stores of individual character, and we understand the dry good's stores as being dry goods only. Bueeiness left Wfcter stree and spread toward the present location of Pamlico and Main street. Mr. D. Lesofsky came to Belhave and open ed a dry goods store ami operated it for many years. A big dry goods store was operated by George Adler changed hands after his death, fir't to Nelso and Franks then J. R. Ke vin and then bo Mr. Joe Halbert who is the present owner. The store of George Raiff (one of the former Raiff Brothers) was taken over by Peele Brothers and aow is owned by Peele-Mitchell company. Harry Raifs store was taken, over in 1924 by Joseph Meyerowitz and is known ai Meyerowitz Department store. H. S.
