350th Anniversary Os First English
Settlement In America Is Neglected
But Roanoke Island,
Cradle of U. S.,
Has Hopes

Norfolk, Va;, June 18—(C. P.)—Chi
cago is finding it easy to attract mil
lions to the celebration of a 100th
birthday, but down in the Albemarle
on Roanoke Island, lying near here
within the confines of North Caro

time bestirring interest in the 350tb
anniversary of the first English set

The big Anglo-American celebration
rivaling a worlld’s fair which North
eastern North Cai’olina hoped would
materialize in connection With the
anniversary this year has been post
poned for another 12 months and may
never be held. Lack of national in

of those immediately concerned are
the reasons.
Naturally the people of Tarheelia
Sre ired over this state of affairs, in
view of all the attention paid the an
niversary of Virginia’s first settle

the completion of the Panama Canal
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition:

Sir Walter Raleigh, who sent out the colonists who established the first
English settlement in America, 350 years ago; a map showing the loca
tion of Roanoke Island, where the colony settled; and Virginia Dare, the
first child of Anglo-Saxon parents born in America. Roanoke Island
was her birthplace.
Newfoundland, lost their enthusiasm
when they found it bleak and cold,
and turned back to England.
Gilbert didn’t arrive there. His ship
ran into a heavy storm going over and
never was heard fro magain. An old
poem describes his ill-fate.
He sat upon the deck,
he Book was in his hand; ‘
“Do not fear! Heaven is as near,”
He said, “by water as by land.”
ißarlowe and Amadas picked out
Roanoke Island (it got its name from
the Amerindians) as an ideal loca
tion for a settlement and hurried back
to England with two native chiefs,
Manteo and Wanchese, and specimens
of tobacco, sassafras, maize, pumpkins
squash and other strange fruits and
herbs. That was the first tobacco to
go to the Old World. It turned out
to be the gold that was to attract and
make the fortune of th efirst per
manent English settlers. ..
Roanoke was robbed of its destiny
a s the New York or Boston of the New
World by a series of mishappenings.
Raleigh, following the recommenda
tions of Amadas and Barlowe, sent
out 108 colonists under Sir Richard
Grenville in 1585. Fort Raleigh was
built of logs, Ralph Lane installed as
royal governor, and Grenville return
ed to England. Amerindians, lack of
experience in coping with the wilder
ness and disease took heavy toll and
the colonists were starving when Sir
Francis Drake stopped on his way to
England with loot from the Spanish
Main and took them aboard.
Mystery of Lost Colony
Two weeks after the colonists de
parted without regret, Grenville re
turned to Roanokew ith supplies and
newcomers. He left 15 of the men on
the island to hold the fort and turned
eastward across the Atlantic to seek
more settlers. When a third expedi
tion equipped and financed by Sir
Walter Raleigh with the Virgin
Queen’s help arrived the 15 had dis
appeared and Fort Raleigh was Tn
ruins. The mystery of what happened
to them never was solved. A new gov
ernor brought* by Grenville, John
While,'anti the neW settlers rebuilt the
fort, set out new crops; arid fnade the
first Amerindian convert to the Chris
tian faith. He was the aforemention
ed Manteo. His baptism is declared
by Carolinians to have been the first
Protestant religious sacrament ever
solemnized in Arherica.
Governor White’s daughter, Eleanor
White Dare, gave birtn on Roanoke
Island to thef irst child born of Anglo-
Saxon parents in America, Virginia
Dare, in 1587. (There is an unsub
stantiated tradition that Virginia was
the illegitimate daughter of Sir Wal
ter Raleigh). That same year White
left his thriving colony of more than
100 to return to England for additional
colonists and supplies, between
England and Spain kept him from re
turning for three years. When he did
get back in 1590 the colony had disap
peared. Its fate never was learned.
The evil reputation given Roanoke
by the succession of tragedies and
Raleigh’s own disgrace and imprison
ment ended the attempts to settle the
island. The next English colonizers
turned further northward and James
town, Va., became the first permanent

Kaleigh, June 18. —There is nothing
in the Sfiate revenue law protecting
slot machines against seizure if the
State license tax is paid, Commissioner
of Revenue A. J. Maxwell said here
today. State revenue collectors will
not bother operators of slot machines
upon which the State license tax has
been paid, he agreed. But there is
nothing in the law preventing city or
county governments outlawing these
machines and seizing them.
