TOBACCO BOYCOTT ORIGINATOR RETURNS John M. Wise of New Bern Led A Drastic Movement on Stum py Point 35 Years Ago John M. Wise of New Bern, N. C., a native of Stumpy Point, is back home this week visiting old < -lends and relatives, and on Wed- B.) esday went to Hatteras for his .irst time. He was accompanied by his sister, Mrs. M. V. Hooper, Mr. Hooper and their daughter, Mrs. W. W. Monette. He went to New Bern some 30 years ago, after a short residence in Oriental, where he met and married a Carteret County girl, and for 25 years has been engaged in a successful store business. He has two children, Staff Sgt. John M., Jr., with the Army in Louis iana, and a daughter, Mrs. Belle Hyde Alstine of New York. In his early days, Mr. Wise was a leader in Sunday school work and he well remembers the boy cott of snuff and tobacco he start ed on Stumpy Point about 35 years ago. “At that time I was teaching a Sunday school class,” he says, “and noticing one of my class members throw down a cigarette which was picked up by a small boy ,it struck me that here was something that ought to be stop ped. I made the evils of it my subject that day, and it made such a hit that the Sunday School super intendent also brought it up, and we started a movement, which quickly brought the signatures of the majority of the people on a pledge to use no more snuff and tobacco.” Mr. Wise went on to say how the stores then refused to sell snuff, tobacco, or cigarettes, and how some of the old women jumped on him for taking their snuff away, claiming they would die of tooth ache. But the boycott lasted a long time, and created a lot of talk. See BOYCOTT, Page Eight REV. J. L. ASHLEY TO PREACH AT ENGELHARD The Reverend J. L. Ashley of Piedmont, S.

A BATTLE WITH RATTLESNAKES ON THE CAPE Ma and Pa Snake Vanquished By Hardy Surveying Crew ar Hatteras Buxton on Cape Hatteras, April 16.—First and last there been a lot of committees on Hatteras s land with divergent notions about the National Park Service and oth er matters but for the engineering party headed by Engineer W. C. Eubanks the committee to end all committees confronted them some where west of the Great Light house along Austin's Ridge one afternoon this week and for a brief moment the surveyors were ready to give the Island back to the na tives in its entirety. This committee was headed by a spokesman who made apocalyptic noises. He was the grizzled grand father of all the rattlesnakes on the Island and he made noises with an incredible number of rattles at tached to his tail. Also he had fangs about a yard long and when he struck, it appeared to the mo mentarily panic-stricken surveyors that his reach was from here to yonder—or from there to here. Surveyors retired to previously unprepared positions, their line of retreat being marked by a consid erable yardage of hide and gar ments which festooned the thick underbrush. After consultation their lines were re-formed and Sey mour Gray, of Avon, a senior mem ber of the assisting crew, advanc ed cautiously with a bush axe. The rattler lunged and Mr. Gray caught him neatly back of the ear with his bush instrument. The snake was stunned. Other members of the crew ad vanced, boldly now. Jim Gray, also of Avon, got in a lick. Presently the snake was annihilated, reduced to exceedingly and insignificant fragments. But not before some thought was taken of his size. He was six feet long, not including the 12 rattles and one button and “as big around as my thigh.” It takes a thigh us considerable aroundness to cope with running land lines down Austin’s Ridge. And scarcely had the triumphant surveyors got themselves launched upon a congratulation of them selves, both for escaping the sav agery of the snake and concerning their own prowess as snake kill ers, but they became stupefyingly aware that they were not alone. Mrs. Rattlesnake arrived. She had no rattles with which to make apocalyptic noises, but she had a good long reach with her neck and ' fangs that looked at least six feet long. Actually, she was a foot shorter than her deceased lord and master but she was a willing wife. And she was quite fat, rather larg er than the thigh of a surveyor. Here the narrative becomes a little blurred in outline and it can not be said with much certainty who killed Mrs. Snake.

PARK SERVICE PLANS SHORE IMPROVEMENTS Gives Funds to State for Parking Area at Lighthouse; Spillway and Drainage at Cape Planned The National Park Service has started the first of its development program in connection with the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Funds have been made available to the North Carolina Highway Department to stabilize the two parking areas that are being con structed on the new road from Buxton to Cape Point. One parking area, 22’ x 200’ will be located near the lighthouse, while the oth er will be located near Cape Point, the latter parking lot will be 22’ x 500’. The stabilization of the park ing areas is necessary to keep cars from sinking through the roadway during the extremely hot summer weather. The Park Service is also issuing invitations to bid on a contract for ! the construction of a headwall and spillway on the drainage outlet for the Cape Point section. Without proper drainage and tide gates, much of the area around the Point, and what was formerly part of the I State Park, stays under water a considerable portion of the time. The tide gates will be installed to let surface water drain from the area but will not admit seawater during high tides. The cost of the above work is estimated to be ap proximately $3500.00. PARK SERVICE GETS FERRY FOR INLET The State Highway Depart ment has advertised for bids for the conversion of a landing craft, LCU 621, on April 13 for use at Oregon Inlet. The bids are to be opened April 27 and a contract awarded immediately thereafter. A time provision in the contract ’invitation authorizes 60 days to complete the conversion. • The Navy Department brought jthe landing craft to Little Creek, : Virginia from Newport, Rhode Island. While the shipyards are making estimates of the cost of repairs, the Navy is stripping the vessel of equipment not de sired by the National Park Ser vice and the Highway Depart ment. This will be completed by the time for the contract for the conversion is let, at which time the Navy Department will offici ally transfer to the National Park Service who will in turn make it available to the High way Department on a Special ;use Permit. The craft will aid i materially in easing the con gestion that now exists at Ore gon Inlet. MRS. EVELYN HARRISON BURIED AT BUXTON THURS. Mrs. Evelyn Midgett Harrison, ’ 53, wife of Albert McDonald Har . rison, 121 Cushing Street, Crad | ock, Va., died Monday morning in i a Portsmouth hospial.

Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the Buxton Methodist Church at Buxton, the Rev. W. B. pastor, officiated. Burial followed in the Buxton Cemetery. The body lay in state one hour prior to fu- I neral services. PULP COMPANY LAND CLAIMS I BEING FOUGHT East Lake.—Claims to certain lands in East Lake Township now being made by the West Virginia! Pulp & Paper Co. are being object- ■ ed to this week by answers filed in ■ Superior Court of Dare County . through Leßoy & Goodwin of Eliz : abeth City, attorne’ys. These attorneys represent P. P. ; Gregory of Shawboro, and D. V. , Meekins and Catherine D. Meekins of Mpnteo. Mr. Gregory opposes the claims of the company to cer tain lands in the Beechland section on Mill Tail Creek. Meekins claims that the company attempts to take 50 acres of Cypress Swamp and other lands in the Lake Neighbor hood section, and title which he holds has been continuous for some 200 years. The Pulp Company recently in stituted action in the Superior Court to perfect titles to upwards of 200,000 acres of land in Croa tan and East Lake Townships, un der what is known as the Torrens land law. Notice was served on sev eral hundred persons who are or may be parties in interest in lands adjoining, or encompassed by sur veys made by the company last year. Under this action, if no de fense is made of titles in questions, the Pulp Company may be adjudg ed the owner of the entire area it seeks under the petition. TAXPAYERS WORKING UP A STORM OVER HIKE IN VALUES The general talk on the sreets of Manteo this week has to do ■ with the turbulent minds of many | taxpayers of Dare County about I notices of hikes in valuations of property, and they are planning to go before the commissioners next week with some mighty pointed questions. Four years ago, following a gen eral revaluation, the commission ers in two years paid off a $40,000 operating deficit and during the second year cut the tax rate ten per cent. It was apparent Jhat a further cut of ten per cent might easily follow. In spite of all this, the board the year following jump- 1 ed the tax rate ten per cent, and since then have been allowing some ) departments of the county to get away with some mighty high bud gets. The taxpayers want to know why it is necessary in the face of the tremendous increase in proper ty constructed each year on the Dare Beaches it now becomes nec essary to keep on kiting taxes. They insist on the other hand, there is every reason that reduc tions are in order, if good business judgment is exercised. Anyway, it looks like the board will have a full session on April 21st .Tuesday of next week. NOTED AUTHOR VISITS ROANOKE ID. GARDENS By AYCOCK BROWN When Joseph Hergesheimer and Huntington Cairns visited Roanoke Island this week to see the dogwood blossoms now splotch ing the area where English-speak ing America had its beginning, they also stopped at Roanoke Gar dens to buy some potted rose ge ranium. “We were amazed to find a com pletely arranged nursery and hot house filled with native and for eign plants here,” said Cairns who is on the staff of the National Gal lery of Art in Washington. He is the author of several books on art and rare paintings. Hergesheimer, author of such best sellers as Java Head, Three Black Pennys and Balise Sands, was also amazed to see the gar dens created here by British-born Albert Q. Bell, resident of Manteo for many years and associate manager of The Lost Colony. Hergesheimer and Cairns are no strangers on the Dare Coast. : Cairns owns an oceanside cottage I in Southern Shores at Kitty Hawk I where Hergesheimer has often been his guest. They had visited I Roanoke Island Gardens on sev eral occasions to see the native and flowering shrubs, but it was the first time they had been here since Bell established his green house. “We didn’t expect to find ge raniums here, especially rose ge ranium which in some sections are considered the rarest of the spe cies,” said Hergesheimer. Rose geraniums are not uncom mon along the Outer Banks and in ! some of the island villages they are ' called “fish geranium.” I “That synonym,” said Bell,” \ probably resulted from the fact that natives use water in which fish are cleaned to water their pot (ted plants, and especially their ge raniums.” Single Copy 7f TOLL ROAD BILL PUT THROUGH BY REPRESENTATIVE Warren’s Blast May Have Blown Privately Owned Bridge Out of Bill Where a man’s treasure is his heart lies. As was to be expected, Representative Bruce Etheridge of Dare County who so reluctantly went along on the proposal for state owned toll bridges, because last session he went all-out for i privately owned bridges, put a bill in the house for the five-year-old beach toll-road project. The object is now to overcome the ruling of the Supreme Court which opined that the Legislature could not give a company municipal powers nor the right to condemn private land. Rep. Combs of Tyrrell was the introducer of a bill to cover the bridge situation. Yet it leaked out somehow that a bill was still go ing to be put through to give the bridge rights to a private com pany. Former Representative Lind say Warren, who has long been a leader in the fight for free high ways in this state, took a long blast at the project last week. A storm of opposition followed. When the private road bill was introduced, it left out the bridges. It was just too hot, it appears. This group of manipulators may have to wait two years longer, unless they can stall off or discourage the state offi cials as they have been doing for the past five years. The separate bills for coastal toll roads and coastal toll bridges steered safely through House and Senate committee in Raleigh Wed . nesday. Without an opposing vote, the I Senate Finance Committee stamp ed its approval upon a bill which would permit State-built toll bridges to span Alligator River and Croatan Sound. Withuot an opposing vote, the House Roads Committee favored a bill designed to permit private in terests to build a seaside toll road from Virginia Beach south to Nags ' Head. The coastal toll road bill, intro duced by Dare’s Rep. R. Bruce Etheridge find others, is similar to bills passed by the 1949 and 1951 General Assemblies. But the bill : was redrawn to get around the ob jections of the State Supreme Court, which several months ago held both the 1949 and 1951 acts unconstitutional. The new bill deletes all mention of bridges. Attorney James Mc- Mullan told the Roads members that the toll road will “tie into bridges already authorized” under the proposal which passed the Senate’s Finance Committee. The toll road bill allows the right of eminent domain to be exercised by private interests. Asked why U. S. Comptroller General Lindsay Warren had at tacked the toll road bill, Attorney McMullan answered that the reason seemed to be personal between Warren and a leader in the toll road plan. The leader is Ray Adams of Washington, D. C., formerly a staunch friend of Warren, said McMullan. “But they don’t seem to see eye to eye any longer.” Ad ams is a member of the Carolina- Virginia Turnpike Authority which proposes to build the toll road. He. also is a principal property owner along the route the road will fol low. Etheridge said Comptroller Gen eral Warren is a “fine man, a great friend of mine. He has his opinion and I have mine.” Warren’s blast said that the toll road idea would advance a land speculation deal by a non-resident. He also blasted supposed plans of the developers for private toll bridges.
