Manteo, May 17—The people of Manteo are now enjoying real electric lights and are not looking for any breakdowns in the near future as they have been in the last several months. Frank Gates, largest owner and manager of the plant, has just installed a new engine with double the power of the old one. For the last few months, the town has been very poorly lighted, all due to the fact that the paint(?) did not have sufficient power to take care of the load on it but with the new engine that difficulty has been overcome.
George W. Griffin, salesman for the W.H. Weatherly & Company, Elizabeth City, has been spending the week here working in and out of town in the interest of his firm.
