IN COUNTY
I
WASHINGTON, July 3. Canning
activities for Beaufort county got un
der way last week when a total of
4,366 quarts of vegetables were can
ned 'under the supervision of can
nin leaders in the various section
of the county.
Mrs. I. P. Hodges, in charge of the
welfare work of the county and re
lief administrator, states that the
' Tecord of canning will equal if not
excel that made last season. Last
year Beaufort county ranked second
in the state in canning activities.
There were 297,300 quarts of vege
tables soup mixture and fruits can
ned.
iNo commercial canning was done
nor was there a commercial canning
outfit used. Home equipment was
set up in different parts of the
county. One-third -of the number of
cans put up will be taken as toll
to be used next year for relief fam
ilies. The canning season is late start
ing in this section and somewhat
' behind last year. Jt will be in prog-
ress until some time in September
The chief crop to be canned during
the first week was beans. , There
were some beets and squash also.
. Mrs. R. M. Gaskill, . of Blounts
Creek, led the county with 1,390
quarts of produce canned under her
supervision. Her canning wa3 dons
under handicaps as it wa3 done in
the open air and there were no con
veniences to work with.- In many
"casee she used a mule and cart

Count Your Blessings
t
i It a ?ew ofthe people, that. live
in Hyde county that have harSiy
ever been more than just outside of
it, could look into the outer world
a little bit and then turn back to
their native homes, I believe that
more smiles of contentment would
be seen and a greater lifting- up of
their hearts to the giver of every
good gift in thankfulness.
A few experiences lately into
which I have come in contact, has
shown me how many blessings the
people in Hyde county have, and
yet how unaware of the fact they
seem to be. I have heard a few wise
people say, "None but the lazy need
to starve in Hyde county,' and how
true this is.
In the large cities (where many
people in Hyde wish they lived and
envy those who do) men by the lit
eral hundreds have been out of
work; and out of work with these
men mean nothing to feed' their
wives and children, no wherewithal
to clothe them or provide shelter,
light and heat. They can't go into
the scund and get fish, oysters,
crabs or shrimps; such things are
delicacies, high costing, and to be
found mostly. in cans on the store
shelves. They can't go into their
gardens and with their spade and
hoe raise the vegetables with which
those in Hyde county raise their
children on to be strong healthy men
and wompn the joy of their eyes.
Let the people of Hyde county
look at their own strong children;
healthy and clean, round of limb and
tanned with the sun, and then let
them glance just for a second to
some of the poor children of the
cities who have no garden of their
own to play in, that are thin and
hollow cheeked, and answer your
inquiries with a hopeful smile as
they answer that papa just got a
job and that he says they will soon
have lots to eat. .
How good it is to know that goo J
times are coming back and that al
ready many mien fave Jjbeen sent
back to work whereby they car.
clothe these little bodies;but how
thankful Hyde county should have
been and still should be, for the na
tural supplies which are furnished
then and for their daily blessings.

From Cedar Tree
OCRACOKE, July 5. Just after
the famous August stormt of 1899,
Stamford Jackson, planted a small
cedar tree in his front yard on Oc
racoke island. During the years the
tree grew and reached maturity. Last
September another hurricane swept
the coast and the cedar that Stam
ford had planted was uprooted by
the terrific wind.
A few months later when the
wood in the trunk of the tree had
dried out, Stamford hewed out sev
eral pieces and used only a one
blaied pocker knife for a tool, fash
ioned a voilin. He glued the parts
together equipped it with strings
and now the instrument when played
by Ocracoke fiddlers produce music
of a splendid tone. Visiting musician
to the island who have seen the in
strument which has the exact lines
of a regular voilin declare that the
work is that of an expert.

said, upon departing from the Pamli

of our newest and finest horses at
the Fort, an Arabian Stallion of
the polo species, was recently sent
us from Ocracoke by David KeppeL.
New York art collector, who owns a
