VOLUME XXIII NO. II DARE COUNTY MAN DEEP IN POLITICS IN ROCKINGHAM CO. Dynamic Manteo Boy Appointed County Manager After Get ting Welfare Post Archie Daniels, a native of Man teo, a man of much ability and boundless energy and enthusiasm, who was recently appointed Coun ty Manager of Rockingham Coun ty, after getting the post of Wel fare Superintendent, is the subject in part, of a vigorous editorial in the local newspaper. One of our readers has sent us a copy of this editorial which is rank against se cret meetings. Knowing our read ers are always interested in things affecting our native sons, we re print portions of this editorial, which also pays some tribute to Mr. Daniels’ ability as a vote-get ter and political manipulator. “Rockingham county, stands on . . . the brink of making dubious history," the editorial says. “This is best described by two words, namely, SECRET MEETINGS.” It. complains that the local high school’s name was changed in a secret meeting; that the county budget was made up behind closed doors, and “Archie S. Daniels, for mer Draper Mayor and County Welfare Director was appointed county manager in a secret meet ing of the Rockingham County Commissioners, minus Commission Chairman C. B. Burton. “Executive sessions are not sup posed to be final and binding meet ings. They are supposed to be ses sions where . . . members ... let down their hair so to speak, and clear the air so that a definite pol icy of action may be established. “But the desire to keep the peo ple in the dark, as remote as it, may be from the minds of most public officials, is slowly finding its way into the thinking of those in public life. “The most irksome of all of the secret meetings was the one in which Archie Daniels was appoint ed County Manager. The County Commissioners stalled on this mat ter at their August meeting, Steve Smith at that time, wasn’t so anx ious to do anything about it. Hen ry McCollum, another commission er, wanted to wait awhile. The mo tion to hire Daniels at that meet ing effective October 1— was made by James T. Chandler, Vice- Chairman of the County Board. He got no second to his’ motion and the move died. “What we’d like to know is why See DANIELS, Page Four HATTERAS PARK ROADS PROJECT GETS UNDERWAY Monroe, N. C., Sept. 11.—R. W. Parks, vice president of Dicker son, Inc., said here today grading, draining and surfacing operations will get under way Sept. 15 on several roads and camping grounds in the Cape Hatteras Na tional Seashore Recreational Area in Dare County. Parks said the $184,196 Hatter as Island project will further de velop bathing and camping facili ties in the recreational area. The entire project, he said, is expected to be completed by June 1, 1958. “In addition to further the de velopment of the resort area, grading, draining and road resur facing will greatly improve the 'existing facilities for the public," Parks said. Approximately 30 men will be employed on the project at ths peak of construction with about 10 laborers to be hired during the course of the work, Parks said. Grading will be the first type of work to get under way this month on the national park project. Placing stone base on the road areas to be paved will immediately follow the grad ing work. Dickerson, Inc., was awarded the contract for the project Aug. 16 by the National Parks Service. YOUNG NAVY PILOT DIES WHEN CHUTE FAILS HIM Harold Stanley Moulson 111 of Cape May, N.

The Commission said it has purchased the franchise rights and the toll ferry of Frasier L. Peele of Hatteras, who provided ferry service across Hatteras Inlet for a number of years. It was previously reported the consideration was $20,000 plus a captain’s job for Mr. Peele. Included in the transaction was the right for the State to use Peele’s docking facilities until ade quate docking facilities and an access road can be constructed. Docking facilities are now being built on each side of the inlet. The State put one of its ferries on the run, on a toll-free basis, around a month ago when Peele’s ferry broke down. A proposal was made two weeks ago to return to tolls, but the fight made by citizens directly to the Governor brought forth his announcement that tolls were out. Chief Engineer W. H. Rogers Jr. said construction work is “pro ceeding rapidly on a half-mile road south of Hatteras Village to a new docking facility to be built at Austin Creek.” Rogers esti mated the road would be ready for travel in about a month. Contracts will be let let this month for dredging a channel and basin at the Hatteras Island docking site. Construction work on cluster piles at the Ocracoke ferry landing be ‘gan Monday morning. Rogers said each of the projects now underway should be com pleted this fall. The Commission said there will be four, daily departures from each terminus. The Hatteras schedule is 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and the Ocracoke de partures are at 8 a.m, 11 a.m, 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Rogers announced that permis sible load limits for vehicles using the feiTy will be 13,000 lbs. for any axle, 20,000 lbs, for two axles, and 30,000 lbs. for three or more axles.

HOT RODDERS IN CRESWELL SHOOT CAFE AT NIGHT Citizens Appear Helpless From Fear and Annoyance of Young Hoodlums The nightly racing and noise making of hot-rodders and other young people on U. S. 64 just out side the town of Creswell has be come an almost nightly occurrence, with no more respect being shown Sunday than any other day. Worst of the growing series of offenses was the recent shooting up on a Sunday night of the case and bar bershop of Fred Smith, which is located about 100 yards west of the popular night spot restaurant of Earl Davenport At that time, one Ed Sprutil, who is in his early 20’s, came back at the midnight hour and fired about a dozen times with a rifle through the winddws and door of Mr. Smith’s building while it was be ing occupied by the Smiths, and Mrs. Smith had a close call. Spruill, whose home is near Cher ry, is charged in a warrant with the offense, but has not been ar rested. A prompt call was made on this Sunday night to the Sheriff for help, but the sheriff did not arrive until late Monday after Spruill had left the state to return to a job on a dredge boat, but he is reported to have returned since then but was not apprehended. He is said to be under a suspended sentence for another offense, and to be operating an automobile aft er having his driver’s permit re voked. The shooting is said to have continued late in the night up and down the streets of Cres well. Shots were fired intermit tently from one to four a.m. at the Smith building. At the time of the shooting, ef fort was made to locate Patrolman W. M. Murphy at Columbia, but at the time- the officer was in Eliz abeth City with his wife at the hospital. Deputy Sheriff W. D. Peele at Creswell could not give help because he has been an invalid fro some years. A Marine Corps man living in Creswell named Bed ford, tried without luck to reach highway patrolmen. The growing seriousness of rac ing on the public highway by the young people who gather nearly every night at this point is giving much concern to nearby residents. Reckless driving, the cutting up of lawns by the young hot-rodders is worrying these residents. The law apparently ignores them and citi zens thus imposed on are apparent ly afraid to push lawful action against the young squirts because of fear of reprisal. Some may fear to offend the parents of the boy and thus lose business, but others are afraid their property will be damaged, or they will be burnt out. There have been several fires in this area which might have stood flor closer investigation than was given them. In the instance of the shooting case, it began because Mr. Smith had objected to the constant cut ting up of his property by the wheels of the hot-rodders. He had attempted to drive them off his premises, time after time. He in curred the ill-will of Spruill after shooting a gun to frighten him away. Spruill came x back, cussed out Smith, and when Mrs. Smith came out to tell him she was not afraid of him, he cursed her and told her after he had got a flat tire fixed, he would “come back See HOT RODDERS, Page Four MANTEO TENT REVIVAL TO BEGIN ON FRIDAY A tent revival to be held under the sponsorship of the Manteo Assembly of God Church will get underway on Friday evening, Sep tember 13, located on the Crees lot off the-iiighway just south of Manteo. Carroll Daniels, native of Wanchese, will conduct the meet ing, which is expected to continue nightly at 8 p.m. for three or four weeks. Plenty of good preaching and special singing is promised, and Mrs. Brooks Stetson, pastor, has issued an invitation for everyone to attend. ROANOKE ISLANDERS GET $7,000 METER REFUNDS Last week citizens of Roanoke Island began receiving checks for $8 each from the Virginia Elec tric & Power Co. The sums go to something like 875 customers, and represents deposit paid through the years to Roanoke Utilities Company for meters installed when electric service was taken by a customer. About $7,000 will be paid back to these customers under the new policy of the Virginia Electric A Power Co. ,which bought out all the business of the Roanoke Utili ties as of July 1, 1957. MANTEO, N.

HYDE SCHOOL SUIT WAGES THIS WEEK IN SWAN QUARTER Town Is Thronged With Largest Crowd of Spectators in Years. The Hyde county seat town of Swan Quarter this week is throng ed with the biggest crowd of spec tators known in a quarter of a century, to hear the evidence in a case which parents of some 54 En gelhard school pupils, have brought against the Hyde County Board of Education. In this suit the citizens of En ■ gelhard seek to retain their high school which they allege is being taken away from thein by high handed, unfair and unlawful meth ods employed by two members of the Board of Education, namely, Gratz Spencer and Crawford Co hoon, aided and abetted by Tommy Gaylord, Supt. of Schools. . In the testimony of their main witness Tuesday afternoon, they brought out evidence of this kind from Walter Lee Gibbs, the third member of the Board who lives near Engelhard and who had dis sented from the beginning in the efforts of his colleagues to move the Engelhard pupils to Swan Quarter. The Engelhard group alleges that the Board of Education un lawfully, and unfairly sought to See SCHOOL, Page Four WANCHESE PEOPLE GAVE REFRESHMENTS TO FIREMEN Some weeks ago, when a forest fire was raging at Wanchese, and members of the Kill Devil Hills and Manteo Fire Departments went to give aid, and stayed on the scene a long time, it was re ported to this newspaper that no one offered to bring them water or food, while they were on the job. In fact some of their friends appeared much worked up about it. It is true that firemen from Manteo had a phone call made to town about noon for sandwiches to be sent down, and prompt serv ice was not available. Several Wanchese citizens however, have reminded us that on the afternoon in question, generous servings of sandwiches, soft drinks, and plen ty of cool water were brought to the scene and given the firemen. This version sounds more like the old time spirit of friendliness and hospitality which has ever prevail ed at Wanchese, a community noted for its helpfulness. We like to see the record straight, and do not want at any time to print other than the facts. We do not welcome people informing us wrongfully out of pique or care less distribution of misinforma tion. Apparently someone left be fore the refreshments arrived. We give credit to the good citizens who were thoughtful of the wel fare of the firemen who generous ly gave their time and labor for the benefit of all. < HISTORY OF ENGELHARD PART I Period Up To 1900 By R. S. Spencer Jr. Editor', Note: This Is one of a number of historical articles written during the 1956-57 school year by civics students of East Hyde High School at Engelhard taught by Mrs. Ellen C. Watson. Engelhard was once part of the Mattamuskeet Indians’ reserva tions. The Core and Cochney In dians also had reservations near by. These tribes were very war like and were among the last to be subdued during the Tuscarora War. There arc papers in the Law rence Spencer family, charts and maps, of the first landing in Far Creek, and a sketch stating that Mr. Spencer was banished from England during the Cromwell Re bellion. Since he was rich and was important in English affairs, he was sent to Virginia, an English colony in North America. Mr. Spencer sailed into Far Creek har bor in 1643. His wife died as the anchor was being dropped over board. Mr. Spencer built a rough wood coffin and buried her on lands he designated as the “Great Marsh”. He then claimed lands ranging from the sound to the lake. Other early settlers were the Wallaces, Berrys ; Gibbs, Roses, and Sandersons. Far Creek grew and sent one of its citizens, John Gibbs, to aid General Washington’s cause in the Revolutionary War. After the war, times were hard and the peo ple settled down to make a living by farming and fishing.’ Waupoppin was settled a short time after Engelhard. It grew to be quite large and once was larger than Far Creek. An interdenomi national church was built at Wau poppin in the late 1890’s. Engelhard has been called Little Arrowmuskeet, Fur Creek, and Far Creek. A post office was es tablished around 1875, and I. B. Watson, Sr. named it Engelhard in honor of his friend from Wilming ton, Major Engelhard. Engelhard is a German name. The early set tlers of Engelhard live what most people in modern times would consider a dull life. The only means of transportation were horse cart* and wagons, and sail ing vessels. The recreational life consisted mainly of boat racing, MORRISONS RETURN AFTER EXTENDED BEACH VISIT Miss Morrison and Guosts Visit Hat teras for First Time, Discovering Some Troubles of Motoring Nothing disturbs the exuber ance and confidence of youth. For instance, Miss Myra Neal Morri son of Washington, D. C. and Kill Devil Hills, took her party of six girl friends to Hatteras the Sat urday before Labor day, and. were getting squared away to enjoy the sights and scenes about the lighthouse, as well as some surf fishing. When the girls were just beginning to enjoy their trip, des pite mosquitos, their car “threw a rod,” or suffered some other ca lamity. They got back home that night through the courtesy of a citizen of the Cape. They went back again on Labor day to re sume their fishing, and to see about the car. When they got back to Oregon Inlet, their car, was number 180 or more, which re quired a wait of more than two hours to get a boat. But the girls had a wonderful time, and they’re coming back. Miss Morrison’s parents are Dr. and Mrs. Fred Morrison, whose home is near the Croatan Hotel. Miss Morrison, is a Senior at Na tional Cathedral School, Washing ton. Like one of the contestants for Miss America this week, she is a ’ horse-trainer, and a skillful -horseback rider. The following were her guests at the beach home: Miss Nancy Johnson of the Sheraton-Mc-Alpin Hotel, New York City, and a student of the Mary C. Wheeler School of Provi dence, Rhode Island. The other four are seniors at the National Cathedral School, and class mates of Miss Morrison: Miss Linda Warren, and Miss Sandy Warren, 5816 Brookside Drive, Chevy Chase 15, Md. Miss Sandy is president of the produc tion club of her school. Miss Ann Houghton, 4929 Glen brook Road, N. W. Washington, and Miss Freddy Colby, 4440 Gar field St., NW, Washington. Dr. Fred W. Morrison, who served North Carolina ably as Secretary of the State Tax Com mission in Raleigh, before entering into law practice in Washington with the late Governor O. Max Gardner, is a native of Catapms County. His wife is the former Emma Neal McQueen of Laurin burg. They are among the most loyal boosters of Kill Devill Hills and Dare County where they have owned a residence for many yean. picnics, and oyster roasts. The people ground their com and flour by windmills. During the Civil War, the Yan kees attacked close to Far Creek, often but never came directly into the village except once when they raided the Spencer home. Mr. Spen cer was very sick and very near death. The Yankees took a sheet and made a ghost out of it. They I suspended it between two horses and rode out into the fields where the slaves 'were picking cotton. The slaves ran in all directions screaming because they thought Mr. Spencer had died and this was his ghost coming back to haunt them. There were five or six stores in Far Creek about 1865. A sign over the door of one of them said “Fish and Whiskey.” All of the first stores sold whiskey and con tinued to do so until the Metho dist Church was established here. The stores had to stop then be cause the law said that no whiskey could be sold within two miles of a church. One night in 1883, a yacht owned by August Belmont pulled into Far Creek harbor. Mr. Bel mont was a multi-millionaire from Woodbury, New Jersey, who man ufactured August Flower, a patent medicine. A severe winter storm was raging, and the water was frozen over so that the ships could not get closer than a mile and a half to Engelhard. The cap tain had lost his mind during the journey and had threatened to kill the crew. The crew slipped off the yacht, and by listening to the roosters crow, picked their way to Engelhard. The crew came into Mr. Anson Gibbs’ store and told their story. I. B. Watson Sr. brought them to his house where he fed them and the next day transported them .where they could get law officers to overcome the crazed captain. Engelhard had the first school in Hyde County built with county funds. It was built in 1884. The school had new books, desks, and charts. The canals used to freeze over and the children would skate to school. JUNK AND CATTLE NOW LEAVE ISLAND BY TRUCK Ocracoke, Sept. 9th.—With the State-operated free ferry in serv ice at Hatteras Inlet, something new is happening at Ocracoke Is land—cattle and old cars are being transported off the Island by truck. Formerly such transporta tion had to be by freight boat to Washington, N. C. This required the arduous task of rounding up the cattle, or the junk, getting it by truck to the freight boat dock here, then came the long, hot, eight-hour trip across the Sound and up the Pamlico River (This didn’t bother the junk, but made the cattle uncomfortable), then by truck to a final destination. Lots of loading and unloading. During the past month, cattle have been rounded up in the area where they graze north of the vil lage, loaded on the trucks there, and taken directly north to Nor folk. Men in jeeps, boys riding Banker ponies, and recently bull dogs have aided in the round-up. Several hundred cattle have been deported; about sixty to eighty remain now. Deadline for the re moval of the cattle, sheep, and goats, under 1957 N. C. legisla tion, is July 1, 1958, but with all this area now a part of thq Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park, removal of the stock is being ex pedited. Prior to World War 11, when junk fras in demand, a clean-up on the island was made and it was shipped over to Washington, N. C. Since then, however, a good many more cars and trucks have been brought to the island; salt water and salt air have deteriorated them quickly and old chassis and rusted motors have been left most anywhere, particularly out on the beach, eyesores for many a day until the blowing sands converted them into dunes. Last week, as many as six’ large truckloads of Snk were hauled northward over e new road and via Hatteras Inlet ferry to Norfolk. So a new day dawns in the salvage business on Ocracoke Island. NEWPORT NEWS ANGLERS DO WELL OFF INLET One tuna, four bonita, two alba core and three wahoo were landed in the Gulf Stream off .Oregon Inlet September 11 by Dr. A. R. Coppola, John Bully, J. H. Cale and J. B. Blorom /of Newport News. They were fishing from the Chee Chee, skippered by Capt Willie Etheridge Jr. Capt. Ether idge reported there are still plenty of fish for anglers in the Gulf Stream off Oregon Inlet.

Following the ground-breaking ceremony Thursday, a bulldozer began clearing away the site so that other work can be begun. The area where the new school will be located is covered with a growth of young cedar and pine trees, and a number of these trees will be left for landscaping purposes. TWO CARS DAMAGED IN ACCIDENT SUNDAY NIGHT Charges of driving under the in fluence were filed against Charlie Etheridge, Manteo Negro man, as a result of an accident that occur red Sunday at 9:30 p.m. oh U.
