a speed of 120 miles an hour.
He thoroughly enjoyed his half
hour's ride, and took it all in
stride, quite as calm and as cool as
the pilot himself. His only amaze
ment was that the plane traveled
so slowly or looked like it did.
While on Roanoke Island, he
rode to Nags Head and other
points of interest, visited Rev. H.
R. Ashmore, the Methodist pastor
in Manteo, and spent the night at
the Victor Meekins home.
Mr. Singleton recalls that the

it was found that Ellis Cradle, a Hyde County author had a story in
the seventh grade basal reader. Through the story "The Sultan's
Taxes," a keen interest was aroused to know more about Ellis Credle.
Knowing her birthplace and being very interested in her writings, the
secretary of the class, Russell Gibbs, obtained her address and wrote
her a letter which she most graciously answered. (Letter follows.)
Dear Russell:
I certainly was glad to have your
letter, and enjoyed it very much. I
still feel I am Hyde County though
I have been away so long, and I
like 'to hear from the people down
there. I have just been looking for

For the second time in thirty
days, the narrow and dealy l'i
foot road, U.S. 204 took heavy
toll of motorists Saturday night,
wrecking two cars and putting
three persons in the hospital for
several days.

Mr. Younce was going west. Mr.
Waters said he was momentarily
blinded by Mr. Y'ounce's lights,
ran off the road, and in attempting
to straighten up his car, lost con
trol on the narrow, slippery road.
M. Waters and his brother's
widow had planned to many the
following day.
Damage to the cars was esti
mated at $10 each, and the mishap
was reported as an unavoidable

Tammy Lee Bryant, 25 year

Saturday night became enraged
with his wife, and beat her un

YACHT BUSINESS
GROWS FAST AT
BFjLIAVEN DOCKS
An important piece of business
for Belhaven has been overlooked
more or less since the opening of
the Inland Waterway some 25
years ago. During the past three
years more effort to increase this
business has been put forward.
We speak of the yacht traffic,
boats bound to and from Florida,
that wish to tie up for the night.
It appears now to be a growing
piece of business for the commu
nity. Every night now, we find many
yachts in Belhaven. Some of them
tie up at the Texaco Dock, operat
ed by the veteran dealer, Lonnie
Jordan. Axson Smith's River For
est Manor hotel is getting a big
share of this business, which Mr.
Smith began cultivating from the
jump about two years ago. With
much expense and effort and a deal
of advertising, he has done a lot
to popularize Belhaven with
yachting groups. Mr. Smith's ho
