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.

S-H 8 8-H! 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.

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.
Suit has been entered at Baltimore
for $15,000 damage against the athletic
association of the U. 8. Naval
academy at Annapolis, in behalf of
Elsie Wilson, who alleges that she
<was< struck by a ball at the ArmyNavy
game on May 30.

the Anal outcome of the presidential

The decision to require an actual
