Colored Romeo, Prison Escapee Comes To Grief Mantco has its counterpart of the Robert Elliott Burns case, it developed Sunday night, when it was learned that C. C. Carter, colored minister and principal of i the Roanoke Academy, rated a number as well as name and titles, i The number had been conferred by state prison authorities who want Carter as an escaped convict, sentenced for larceny. Like the "fugitive from the Georgia chain gang" Carter, follow- ing his escape last April, had estab-: lished a going business and had! risen to esteem in the community, i the discovery that the business I was financed by rubber checks and doubtful credit accounts has brought it to a standstill and dissipated the esteem. Carter was arrested in Hertford at the request of Sheriff D.
Victor I Meekins who returned from Ha tteras to learn that he was wanted notj only by the state authorities but by several holders of worthelss! checks, while a Norfolk finance com- pany was seeking to repossess his i car. On notice of Carter's appre-1 hension prison officials said that' they would send a guard to take him back to Raleigh. No organized effort to thwart their designs, as in the Burns case, is reported. Carter came here last summer and at the opening cf the school term organized a private academy which he hoped to build up to the requirements of an accredited high school for colored pupils, an institution which the county now lacks. He was given no official recognition by county school authorities but was allowed the use of two rooms in the county school which were not being employed.
ouiiic 10 iJujJiia 1'iuuiau, are required in an accredited school" four teachers were provided, furniture was installed, and one of the1 rooms which had been left unfinished was completed. Carter appeared well qualified for the work lie had undertaken and it seemed likely that he would accomplish a valuable' work. Then came the crash. Now bills for building materials and furniture stand unpaid on the books of local merchants, teachers are unpaid, and the Christmas holidays of the) pupils bid fair to beccnie permanent. Carter's genius as an educator appears to have been second only to his talent as a heartbreaker and many reports of his conquests are in cir- i culation.
Two cooks in local households are said to have quit their wcrk preparatory to living a life of ea'e as wife cf the distinguished educator with the big sedan. They're back on the job. A Norfolk woman is said to have given him $500. down payment cn a husband. It provided the first installment on the ciir.
One he led to the altar, daughter of a prominent negro preacher of Norfolk. whom he as a teacher in his school. Now it is believed that a wife previously acquired in Chicago holds a prior lien on the bridegroom. What a man! Dare Raises Rumpus Re Condition Roads People down "the banks." particul- arly in the Hatteras area, are up in, arms about the condition of their! roads, and the lack of attention to them since they were taken over for maintenance by the State Highway Commission. Already in bad condition, the roads following the rains are in terrible shape, accord-! ing to Sheriff D.
Victor Meekins. who recently toured the section, a.id a movement is afoot to send a delegation to Raleigh to place the case before the commission. In a section where fishing is the principal industry the hauling of fish is virtually impossible often communication between ad- joining communities can only bo had on foot. Already handicapped by storm damage the section is placed at a great disadvantage in its! competition with other sections which do not suffer from the same' impediments. The two school buses have to contend with almost impossible roads in covering their routes and it is freely predicted that unless there is some relief they will have, to be taken off their runs by January or February.
Roads at Rcdanthe are also reported in bad shape, esjiecially at, the ferry landing, where many cars get stuck and have to be pushed through the bad places. No unusual difficulty is seen in the way of re-1 I pairing the roads as there has been lowering of the beach and only: drainage and filling in the bad; I places is required to make the roads passable. There is a strong senti- rmnt that while paying some $7,000 year in gasoline taxes the people! i of the section are not receiving just i I treatment from the commission.

Smallest School Has Good Record For Attendance In the Mavhccs elementary schccl, Dare cc*nty has what Superintendent F. T. Johnscn believes tc. be the smallest scbocl in the pslr.t of enrollment in North Carolina.
Only six pupils are on the rclls under charge cf Miss Hazel Owens of Elizabeth City ant! are distributed among Fir it, Second. Fifth, Sixth and Seventh grades. The attendance record of the Ma hues rehool last month was per cent, only bettered by the one teacher school at Colinjton, where with but cne absence reported in ah enrollment of 4G. the cne-teacher school under Mrs. Fannie Lr.ng Evans set up a record of 99.9 per cent.
Standing cf other schools of the county which have reported so far are as follows: Manteo 96. Wanchcse' 97. Stumpy Point 93. Kitty Hawk 96.6, Rodanthe 81. East Lake 79.
Buxton 91 and Manns Harbor 93. The Stumpy Point school and some others in the south part of the citunty closed for the Christmas holidays last Saturday while others, with the exception of Avon continued until Tuesday. Ac Avon, where delay in completing the new school did no; permit the opening of the session until November 21, Christmas Monday will be the only day of holiday so as permit the holding of classes for the full 160 days of the term. With the addition, after the holidays. of a bus to serve the East Lake school, the county's bus mileage win oe increased 10 approximately L'78 miles daily, transporting between 350 and 375 pupils.
The bus for the East Lake run will be that now serving Kitty Hawk from Colington. which now transports but five pupils. It will be replaced by a car which Superintendent Johnson has been authorized to buy. Other bus lines now operated are those of the Kityy Hawk school which transport pupils from Nags Head.

Little Drops o' Water Little Grains o' Sand Play Havoc In Dare The woman reporter who covered the Wright Memorial unveiling for the New York Times Magazine and! described the Dare County banks as being, "like a scene out of Genesis when the elements mingled and I earth was not yet fully separated from the sea." didnt' know the half! of it. Had she waited far the sea! i tide and rain and wind storms of I suceeding weeks she would have seen a real fusion of earth and water with the beach highway as a third I ingredient to the mixture. Little drops of water and little I grains cf sand have done their best! to eiface the work of the State High- way Commission but the service of' the bus line to Elizabeth City has 1 made its daily run though often' delayed in its schedule. Mainten- ances men have been kept busy clearing sand where it persistently I drifted across the road where it: turns in from the beach to the bridge but no real damage was done to the road, and for the next three' months necessary detours on ac-1 i count cf the paving of the last link cf the road in Currituck is likely to be the only impediment to traffic.
Dare Roads Getting State's Attention A force of men will be sent to1 the Hatteras section by the State Highway Commission after the first of the year to rebuild all highway bridges there, it was announced by R. R. Roper, district engineer for' maintenance, who was in Manteo I this week. The levelling of some of the sand hills which make for hard! i going over the Colington roaa is also i contemplated at an early date. Every road problem in Dare I I county is being given careful con- i sideration by the commission, ac- cording to Mr.
Roper, who says that; a study of the situation as to the I beach highway, with the view of' permanently avoiding traffic inter-! ference by sand and water, is now i going forward at headquarters. The maintenance of communiea- lions with Rodanthe was cited as I one of the great problems facing the commission and Mr. Roper ex- pressed as his private opinion that the solution lay in maintaing ferry to that section from Wan-; chese. which would include the1 I clearing of the channel at the i jRcdanthe terminals. Ferry service from Oregon Inlet he believes is im- practicable in all weathers as at times high water prevents automobiles from reaching the boat.

At Least We Have No Hang-Over An Editorial By John C. Emmerson, Jr. Dare County people standing at the threshold of the new era ensured when ready access to the mainland was provided by bridge and highway, should see in the depression which the section now shares with the rest of the county an evil not unmixed with good. 1 Though the financial crash may have retarded the development of the Dare coastland as a resort area the bridge and highway, neces- I sary foundation for any such development, are ready in place; the full fruit of the new accessibility is merely delayed. In the interval which must elapse before real estate again commands a price and capital becomes venturesome people of the section may assure their full participation in the better times to come by com- pleting their own adjustment to changed conditions and planning for the future.
Such building as has followed the completion of the Wright Memorial Bridge and beach highway has been an orderly development in relation to demand and may be expected to continue yearly in like manner even under present day conditions. Had the opening of the section occurred in better times in all probability there would have ensued an orgy of land speculation and inflated values with the imported high-pressure salesman as the principal beneficiary, followed by the inevitable crash. There is no reason to believe that Dare County people would have been any better qualified to cash in on the boom and hold their profits than those of other places which have passed through similar periods of exploitation. Florida and Ashcville still suffer in the throes cf deflation, the heritage of Virginia Beach's one- season boom has proved a blight rather than a blessing. No buildings arise to add taxable values to lots sold indiscriminately to gullible speculators who plan to unload at a profit, rather are they abandoned to the sheriff's sale as fictitious values shrink and hope i is abandoned.
Over-building under the urge of false prosperity often ends in total loss and failure to recognize the moment to buy or sell leaves bitter memories of profits which mighthave-been. In an orderly development of natural attractions alone lies the highest prosperity of the section. If Dare County has missed the hectic night it has at least avoided the headache; its assets are still unimpaired, its future still before it.
