Storm News From North Carolina Coast Elizabeth City, N. C.f Sept. 19.?Restored communication systems brought reports today of no known loss of life but extensive damage to property in the 200-mile strip of North Carolina coast raked by the West Indian hurricane. Three negro WPA workers near Coinjock, about twenty miles from here, were unaccounted for, but more than fifty of their companions, for whom fears had also been expressed until they were found, expressed doubt the missing trio had been drowned. The flfty-odd negroes were aboard two barges which broke loose from their moorings, and for some hours yesterday it was feared the entire crew had met diaster. The barges were located, however, in the Inland waterway a short distance away. Roll call accounted for all but three of the men,' Those present said the missing members had probably made their way back to the WPA camp near Coinjock, on Albemarle sound. A negro known as "Popeye," previously reported drowned, was found injured. ' The storm, which was reported to have reached a velocity of ninety miles at some points, swept up 200 miles of coastline in North Carolina, from Cape Lookout northward. Fear had been felt for a few small Ashing settlements on outlying islands but these hardy folks, used to storms, prepared for the "blow," and suffered no great hardship. Late visitors to the beach resorts had Aed to safety. ^ .1 Ocracoke Island, a narrow strip of land about 30 miles from the mainland, was inundated by a heavy tide, the inhabitants gathered at the old Ocracoke lighthouse, built in 1798, and spent the night in safety. More than 1,200 transient and CCC Workers on the coastal ls\gnd were evacuated to the mainland or given ample ^shelter before the full fury of the storm struck the narrow Islandswhich protect North Carolina's large sounds from the Atlantic. """Extreme "high" tides brought considerable damage to Hatteras Island. Along the mainland crops suffered heavily and some trees were blown down. In Elizabeth City, store fronts were battered, and a few trees felled, i but there was little other damage. The headquarters of the Elizabeth City Yacht Club was destroyed, at a [small loss. The entire storm area was cut off from communication with the outside world for eighteen hourd. The power plant here was out of commission almost as Jong.? . Coastguardsmen at the Nags Head station estimated the storm cut away thirty-ftve feet of beach there. u<,ir * 4 l !

THERE '8 A ROBBER DOWN STAIRS ..Somebody tried to rob our house last Friday night. The boss eased over to my tWin-bed snd whispered into my good ear?"There's somebody In the basement; they are trying to come up stmirs." Being awakened suddenly by ^he noise or information of a burglar is mtgtity hard on niy " high blood pressure. ..I whispered tremblingly back to the old lady: "That ain't no intruder^- \ lt'H only our cat." She replied7~"We ain't got no' cat." I nervously informed her that it was our dog. "She Bhook me harder than ever, and stat- , ed: "You know we ain't never owned a dog sinde our last one went mad during the World War." ..Well, I made up my mind that I ' had to either kill the guy that was 1 in our cellar or be disgraced for^lfe. I chose murder. I got out of bed af- 1 ter untangling myself from the sheet which had become badly wrapped ' around my nether end, but it seems [ that I crawled out on the wrong side and was making my way toward ti>? ' back door. 'By the time I located my bearings, 1 sweat was running down my forehead " into my eyes so bad, I coudn't see beyond my eyelids. I hunted for the pistol awhile, but was Informed we had no pistol. Then I tried to locate our shotgun, but recalled that 1 swap- 1 ped It for a radio in 1929. I would 1 have preferred to shoot the impudent 1 rogue down stairs, that was making ' more fuss than ever, but finally de- 1 elded to go after him, fist and skull. 1 i ..I tip-toed to the basement dU>ori I < was shaking so, it took a few minutes < to locate the door knob. I expected to be jumped on when the door was ] opened and commit the murder on the 1 top step, but he happened not to be i In reach of me when I entered with 1 blood in my veins and bone in my 1 head. Before I knew what had hap- I pened, I had stepped into a coal scut- > tie and landed at the foot of the > stairs, all by myself. j ..By that time, the neighbors had been phoned and had the house surrounded. When I came to and said? "Where is he," the wife switched on ? the light. I discovered that the racket and noise an^l disturbance was caused by the motor on the automatic coal stoker had suddenly made up its mind to begin doing its winter work; and it was certainly making good headway toward firing the furnace. I was glad the life of the burglar was saved. I went litppingly back to bed but never slept a wink that night. 8CHOOL NEW8 FROM FLAT ROCK ..little wiilie sue skinner broke out with something, at scholl last tuesday and everboddy thought she was plzened or something, she was hurried to the drug stoar, but dr. green watn't there, as he had went out to make a call on a sick man whp will no doubt die; dr. green has lost all of his patience that lm**-hatl-wbat he has got, vtezly; side plurisey). *"" ^J^oaforerfa around the sody fountinging commence tc dognose the case 5l_wililfi_fuie skinner; holsum moors _ said it was gerraan measles, but torn head said that he had had what it was, and he called it rosy ola of the skin.

MULLER ELIZABETH CLARKE, Mgr. OC ALL?FORMS?OF?INSURANCE Black Locust Ideal For Rundown Farms A black-locust lenoa post on the Jarrell Jarrett farm In Jackson county, Ua., has been in use more than 76 years. Before the Civil War, the post waa cut and set. A gate hung on it for years. Still well preserved, the post is now being used in a woven wire fence. * Black locust, one of the fattest growing hardwood trees, is used ex* tenslvely by farmers cooperating with the Department of Agriculture in the control of erosion. Planted in gullied areas or on unproductive land where the topsoil lias been removed, the trees retard damage from washing. 1 Under favorable conditions, the locust gtows rapidly and yields durable fence posts in 10 or 12 years. Trees 30 feet high and 5 inches in diameter are often grown in 15 years A legume, block locust draws upon the unlimited nitrogen in the air end Axes it in the soil, thereby increasing fertility. ? The wood of the locust is heavy, hard, and very durable. Its lasting qualities as fence posts are greater than those of many other woods. Locust reproduces freely from root suckers, stump sprouts, and seeds which nearly always are fertile. Spring is the best time to plant locust, but seedlings may be planted in the fall.
