YEAR’S ABC STORE
SALES $336,015.30
IN DARE COUNTY
Two Stores Show Net Profit of
$36,671.57; Nags Head Sales
Over 60% of Total
The audit of the affairs of the
Dare County ABC systems for the
year ending June 30, 1959, reveals
that a net profit was made for the
, j two stores of Nags Head and Man
teo in the total sum of $30,671.57.
Os this, the Manteo store’s profit
was $14,147.89. Os the profit of this
•store 15 per cent was paid by
statute to the town of Manteo in
the sum of $2,122.18 for the past
fisoal year.
Sales of the Manteo store repre
sented only 38.58% of total sales.
The total balance then due Dare
County was $34,549.34, and of this
sum the ABC Board turned over to
the county $27,100, leaving a
balance owing the county of $7,-
449.94.
Actually the county got only half
of the $27,100, the other half being
turned over to the Dare County
Tourist Bureau for Advertising and
promotion purposes. This by special
act of the legislature in 1957. But
the purpose has apparently gone
far .afield, since the Tourist Bu
reau’s activities are not concerned
so with broad advertising of I
the county’s interests, other than'
that of the sportfishing industry.
Nearly all of the bureau’s activities
are confined to reports on sport
fishing results. A multitude of
other interests are completely over
looked.
The purposes whereby estab
lishment of the ABC system was
created, the people were told, would
be for the 'benefit of schools and
welfare. The net return the county
now gets from the stores would
4 barely run the welfare office alone.
The ABC audit report showed
further, that on June 30th, the
stores had inventory in the Manteo
store valued at $42,419.44 with in
surance of $21,000. The inventory
of the Nags Head store was $15,-
637 with insumnce of $24,000.
After deducting outstanding
checks, the cash balance in the bank
was shown as $37,916.36 which with
cash on hand totaled $41,242.56.
Total sales for the year are
shown at $336,015.30. Cost of sales
was $240,200.61; Gross profit $95,-
814.69. Operating fajnq to
4 _ $23,750.64; state beverage taxes
$33,392.48; reserve for law enforce
ment $2,000, leaving a net profit of
$36,671.57.
GAIN IN ABC SALES AND*
GAIN IN COUNTY'S PROFIT
A large increase, in fact
$6,411.30 was revealed in sales in
the Dare County ABC Stores in
September of this year as com
pared with September a year ago.
Sales in the month just ended to
taled $32,354.70.
Tins week, the county received
its largest check in many a day.
The Board turned over nearly
$3,000; to be exact $2,911.92. Os
this sum. $1,455.92 had to be
given the Tourist Bureau.
For the month of August and
for the first time since the new
ABC Board took over manage
ment of the system, there was a
decline in volume, the loss being
$1,747.17, as compared with Aug
ust of 1958. September brought it
up in fine shape with a total gain
of $6,411.30.
It is an interesting study, to
compare figures of ABC store
sales, and to hear the reasons of
fered for gains or losses. Revela
tions may continue more interest
ing as time goes on.

MANIFESTATION OF
HOMEFOLKS' LOVE
Remarkable Demonstration of Es
teem and Affection Turned
Toward A Faithful Servant
By CAROLYN LLOYD
BELHAVEN. Approximately
750 people from Beaufort and
Hyde Counties and the surround
ing areas, as well as from as far
distant as Asheville, gathered at
the Belhaven Community Center
on Monday to make the observ
ance of “Dr. Ellis G. Winstead
Day” one of the most outstanding
events ever held here. The idea
for the celebration began when a
group of the doctor’s friends sug
gested that he be honored at a
community picnic on the day af
ter his birthday, October 4, which
marked the beginning of his
thirty-first year of the practice
of medicine in this area. The
plans grew and grew as word of
the proposed celebration got
around, for everyone seemed to
want to make some gesture of ap
preciation to the physician. All
business establishments in Belha
ven closed at 3:45 and both the
Belhaven and Pantego schools dis
missed early on the great day.
The program began at 4:30,
when the Belhaven Band led the
march to the Community Center,
followed by Dr. and Mrs. Win
stead riding in a convertible driv- I
en by Guy Shavender of Pantego.
As the procession approached, the
crowd was welcomed by John
Ratcliff, of Pantego, over-all
chairman of the affair. Dr. Win
stead was escorted to an outdoor
stage decorated as a patio with
pines, garden furniture, and bas
kets of flowers sent by friends.
W. W. (Bill) Bullock, one of the
doctor’s longtime friends, was
master of ceremonies for the pro
gram, which followed a “This Is
Your Life” theme. As the story
of the subject’s life unfolded, he
was joined on stage by his wife
and his daughters, Mrs. James
Younce of Belhaven, and Mrs.
Charles Clark of Greenville. His
son, Ellis Jr., who lives in Atlan
ta, was unable to be present.
One by one, others who were
identified with different phases
of the doctor’s career, were intro
duced. Mrs. Doris Windley, local
nupse, read a part of the Hippo
cartic Oath, upon which Dr. Win
stead has based his professional
beliefs. Dr. John Cotten Tayloe,
member of the famed Tayloe fam
ily which founded a hospital in
Washington, spoke of the days
when he and his brothers, Dr.
Dave, Jr., and Dr. Josh, were
young internes with Dr. Winstead
at Tayloe Hospital. Mr. Bullock
commented on the many trips
over rough roads which he had
shared with the doctor in the
early days when he answered
calls as far away as Dare Coun
ty. John Radcliffe displayed the
pocket watch and chain which the
doctor wore for many years and
which symbolized to many people
the family physician. Two of the
first children delivered by the
doctor, Yettie Bullock Billups and
Wilma Smith Thompson, went on
i stage to greet the. doctor. “Bud”

MANNS HARBOR
HARBOR PROJECT
TO BE SOUGHT
Growing Need for Deeper Water
and Safe Anchorage on
Mainland
A movement is shaping up to
ask for a survey and report on
developing an improved harbor to
serve the Manns Harbor area on
the mainland of Dare County.
Commercial fishing interests of the
village have been handicapped for
many years ever since erosion took
away the points of marsh which
protected the creek long known as
Manns Harbor.
The growth of Manns Harbor
as a recreation center during the
past ten years has brought about
an uncomfortable crowding of the
limited waterways facilities avail
able and many citizens believe the
situation will become desperate in
a short time. Much interest has
been shown in getting temporary re
lief for the small ditch originally
built by the county during process
of constructing a road.
The subject has been taken up
with Congressman Herbert Bon
ner by Victor Meekins, chairman
of the Dare County Board, who has
promised his support' in asking
Congress to authorize a survey, and
H. B. Hooper, County Commission
er from the mainland district of the
county is assisting in assembling
facts to support the movement.
As it has become rule and law
with U.S. engineers that no federal
harbor improvements will be made
unless a public landing area is pro
vided, Meekins said he had gotten
assurances from Miles Clark of
Elizabeth City and Carl • Mann of
Manns Harbor, that they would
willingly give without cost from
their holdings the required land to
assure the project’s success. He
said also, that a public meeting
would be called at Manns Harbor
on Mi - . Bonner’s return from Eur
ope sometime soon, which would be,
attended by Mr. Hooper and other
county officials, whereby all the
citizens would be afforded an op
portunity to express their views,
and on the other hand to explain
the requirements which must be

BELHAVEN BAND IS
LOOKING BACK ON
ITS BUSIEST WEEK)
Last was a busy one for
the Belhaven Band, which was cele
brating its first anniversary under
the direction of Bob EHwanger of
Greenville.
The parents of the band mem-|
bers ignored the threat of “Grade”
on Tuesday night and entertained
with a dance for the young mu
sicians and their guests. Each
mother surprised her child with an
anniversary gift.
A large birthday cake centered
the refreshment table from which
the hostesses served cupcakes, 1
bottied drinks, and bubble gum. The
cake was presented to Mr. and Mrs.
EHwanger.
On Friday evening, the band gave
a concert in the John A. Wilkinson
High School auditorium. Under the
direction of Mr. EHwanger, they
played a variety of numbers which
showed the great progress which
the organization has made in a year.
An added feature was the perform
ance of three numbers bjt the “The
Highbrows”, an all-girl dance band
from East Carolina College.
No admisssion was charged but
the appreciative audience donated
SB6 dollars toward the purchase of
part of the band uniforms. The
only disappointment to the group
was the small number in attend
ance.

VAST RECLAMATION
OF SWAMP LANDS
. ATTRACT INTEREST
Hyde County’s Roper Lands Giv
en Publicity As New Own
ers Market Them
From time to time this news
paper has given publicity to several
attempts that have been undertaken
in Hyde County for the develop
ment of swamp and other cut over
i lands namely in the vicinity of
Ponzer and Engelhard. One of the
largest of these in now in process
of development near Engelhard
where the Pamlico Development
Company began work more than
a year ago under the direction of
J. P. Smith to develop more than
,70,000 acres.
Another development, larger in
its entirety, has been going on near
Ponzer for a longer period under
the management of several owners.
, The largest of these tracts is under
the eye of Harry McMullan Jr., a
Washington attorney with New
i York associates. First attempt in
■ recent years in the area was begun
I by Sel-Mal farms headed by two
i New York men, Otto Selgar and
Harry Match.
After getting the development
underway, they sold out and went
to other fields.
Associated with Mr. McMullan ia
a New York real estate promotion
firm. These associates now control
some 100,006 acres of the old Roper
lands. These are being developed
at the rate of 10,000 acres per
year. Land formerly not worth $3
per acre is now worth S2OO.
New families are being brought
into the area. The high cost of land
in some of the central states has
become a barrier to ambitious
i young farmers lacking sufficient
capital to go into businesss. On a
comparatively small investment,
they can find in Hyde County
sufficient acreage at a reasonable
cost, whereby they may establish
themselves in diversified agricul
ture in a moderate climate.
Recently, Norfolk Newspapers
took note of this tendency for land
development which now sprawls
across northeastern North Carolina
from the Pungo River to the Vir
pginia line. As time goes on, there
| may be expected much more news
; paper attention to this area which
, now offers much promise for the
future.
HELD UNDER $5,000 BOND
FOR AGGRAVATED TRESPASS
Example in Court Reveals Costly Re
sult of Codding Youngsters With
Tendencies to Violent Behavior
A striking example of the re
sults of recorders court policy to
encourage crime, through a long
period of leniency came out this
1 week, when Jon Arthur Williams
1 and Charles Edward Wroten of
1 Wanchese were sent to jail in de
fault of $5,000 bond to await trial
' in Superior Court at the end of
this month for a case of aggravated
and stupid vandalism. They are
charged with having done more
1 than SSOO damage to the new Lin
coln of Martin Kellogg Jr., who is
prosecuting attorney in the record-
i ers court. Both front and rear
■ glasses were beaten out.
: Some months ago tires on this
' car were slashed, but no appre
hensions were made at this time.
r Recently these youngsters were
r bound over in auto theft and other
- cases. For some years, they have
J been periodical offenders in the
- court. These and others have often
. got out lightly, getting suspended
c sentences, or like many others
. trusted for fines. Williams has
• served prison terms. They are
. charged now with attempt to pun
ish Mr. Kellogg, an officer of the
court. The judge didn’t have an
automobile. Each pleaded not
guilty, demanded a jury trial,
• which throws the case into Superior
Court.
i In court this week, $25 fines
.'were assessed against 16-year-old
• drivers—Joyce F. Payne for driving
s, without a permit; Phillip D. Tillett
