It is a turtle egg, but its shape is more nearly that of a hot dog bun. The reason for this is that it .has four yolks which can be plainly seen when it is held up to the light. The curious egg was found on Long Beach just a few steps from the pavilion by Bobby Jones and a group of young boys. They ha)d looked for a great distance to find a tur- ; tie nest and found this one as they returned disappointedly to the pavillion. It contained over j >00 eggs and the unusual specimen mentioned above was j foiuid in the midst of them. , It is about 4 or 5 inches long but with a normal circumference. NO DAMAGE County Agent Dodson reported Monday afternoon that up to that time, and as far as he knew, no serious damage was done to crops by the storm Monday. Early corn was bent down somewhat but not broken off. There was u possibility of early tobacco aaking on a damaging second growth, ost other crops were benefited, more or less, by the rain. Mr. Dodson added, that in most sections of the cou-j nty there had been a noticeable improvement in crop condiaions. during the past two weeks. W. B.

Three years ago the Caswell ta Carolina Corporation, owned by is Florida interests, sold about three w lundred acres of the former Fort ti Caswell property to the govern-! nent. Included ir, the tract thus j / iold was old I'1 i * C v"\"c]l, which I he Navy turned into a section I Case and which is still being used j >y the government for purposes j lot stated. The corporation ie-J ained about 1800 acres of land,!, ronting on the ocean and extend- j ng down the coast from the part! lold to the government two miles j :o Long Beach. This two miles; if beach and shore property forms' he 1800 acre tract figuring in I ast week's deal. No purchase price has been g. jiven. The purchasers arc H. G. tc Maxwell, George S. Daniels, Ruynond A. Bryan and Robert W. . ?owcll, all of Goldsboro. I ' The property is probably the; >est adapted of any on the At- r< antic coast for beach develop- J< nent. The shore line, running east ( " ind west, presents an unusual ^ eaturc. This feature results in ^ he prevailing south and south vest winds that sweep the beach m ilwuys blowing straight in from a he ocean. There is probably no jeach anywhere on the coast that las more freedom from mosquit- P' ics, sand flies, etc., than Caswell .P" leach, as a result of these winds. I Much of the property has a ,x ligh elevation and is well wood- 1,1 !d. Water from the deep well *' hat supplies Fort Caswell is av- ui [liable.
