NUMBER 24
FISH FACTORIES ARE SOLO
.
Big Company Formed To
Take Over Two Local
Concerns
POTATOES AIL
Another important deal in
fishery circles took place last
week when two local concerns
were bought by the American;
nsnenes company, a new con
cejn recently organized under
the laws of this State.
The businesses of Dey and
Bro. Inc. and the Taylor's Creek
Fish Scrap arid Oil Company,
both of Beaufort, have been
taken over by the newly organiz
ed company. The authorized
capital or the new company is
$225,000 enough of which has
been paid in to afford ample cap
ital for conducting its business.
The first meeting of the Amer
ican Fisheries Company "was
held on June the 15th in Wil
mington where the organization
was perfected. The officers
chosen were Oscar 'Pearsall of
Wilmington, President, C. P. Dey
of Beaufort, Vice-president, Os
car Pearsall, of Wilmington. Sec
retary W. A. Mace ' of Beaufort,
General Manager. The directors
of the company are Oscar Pear
sail, Horace Pearsall, C. P. Dey,
J. A. McNair of L?unnburg and
Frank A. Thompson of Wuming
ton.
The factories and boats of the
two concerns that were sold will
be operated bv the new com
pany and it will be one of the
best'eauiDDed fish oil and scrap
factories in the State. The com
pany is ready for business and
as soon as the fish make their
appearance operations will be
gin.
For several weeks fish have
been scarce in this locality but
' as they are quite plentiful around
" Southport it " Is thought likely
thay they will soon be near
enough for the local fishermen
to go afte them.
C P. Dey of Beaufort was the
first man to start a fish factory
in this State and is therefore the
father of the jndustry here.
While he is retiring from active
participation in the business he
is a large stockholder in the com
pany just formed and will be in
terested in its development.
There hasieen a big demand
for scrap this Spring at good
prices, but the demand for oil
has not been so good as a year or
so ago and prices are consider
ably lower than they were.
SUIT ' TRIED
1920 Crop Thing Of Thi
Past. Brough Good Re
turn 9 To Growers
.Urrt6 and including Monday's
shipments 33,000 barrels of Irish
potatoes had left Beaufort via
the Norfolk and Southern Rail
road for the Northern markets.
The railroad company has made
every effort to expedite ship
ments and there has been no
ack of cars or any trouble so far
as the News has learned. There
will probably not be more than
500 barrels shipped this week
which "will bring the crop of 1920
to a close.
Last year's crop of potatoes
shipped from here was only about
23,000 barrels so this year's crop
was considerably larger. Re
sides being larger ' much better
prices weie obtained than last
vear. The crop just moved
brought the growers any where
from $7 to $10 a barrel while
last year prices were consider
ably below those figures.
The crop of 1918 was 43,000
barrels but owing to the fact that
the prices were comparatively
low that year hot eo much mon
ey was realized tor it as was
done with the present crop
1 he crop or iyi7 sold tor very
high prices and the growers
made considerable money that
year, as they have done with
the crop just harvested. "
The land on which the pota
toes grew will do double duty as
practically all of it will be used
for cotton or sweet potatoes.
These second crops are profitable
because no additional fertilizer
is required for them. If the cot
ton crop turns out well and the
price is high as seems likely
farmers in this section will have
a very prosperous year.

John J. Parker the Republican
nominee for Governor of North
Carolina will fill a speaking en-'
gagement here on July the 20th.
The speaking will probably be
at noon. From here the guber
natorial candidate will go to
New Bern where he is billed to
speak on the 21st at noon." The
next day he is to speak at Bay
boroat noon and that "night he
spsaks- in , Washington. From
there he goes to Columbia, Green
ville, Rocky Mount and on so.
From this it can be seen that
Mr. Parker is opening his cam
paign in the eastern part of the
Statt in July, His 'arrival in these
counties will mean the, opening
of the Republican campaign as
to the rest ot the ticket also
and from then on to November
it is expected that politics will
be lively all along the line
Republican . leaders say they
are going to make ' a stronger
fight in eastern North Carolina
this year than, has ever been
done in a long time.
They believe the party has
better chance to grow in the
east than in the west because
ilnes are drawn more closely up
there than down here.
In the weft both , sides have
worked hard for years and not
many votes can be changed from
one side to the other. In the east
political" interest have lain
dormant and Republicans think
hey can wake it up by the right
sort of campaign.
Sugar May Go To 30 A

Washington"; June 22 --(Special
correspondence) Representative
George Holden iinkham, ot
Massachusetts charges Howard
E.. Figg, special assistant tQ; the
Attorney General at the head of
the campaign against the high
cost of living, with making pub
ic misleading statemems rela
tive to the sugar situation. Mr
Figg said in a recent statemen
that relief from the sugar shor
age was promised by importa
ions from Argentina, Peru. Cze
cho-Slovakia, Belgium and Hoi
and. In the face of the express
ed hops of Mf ., Figg for a reduc
tion in the prices of sugar. Re
presentative Tinkham predicts
that it may cost 30 cents a pound
in July and August, due to the
bungling of the present adminis
tration and a gradual diminu
tion of the present Cuban, crop,
He stated that the action of At
tornev General Palmer in fixing
a price of 17 and 18 cents a pound
for the last Louisiana sugar crop
raised the price of Cuban sugar
to the same level. He regards
the supply of sugar that might
come trom abroad as hardly sur
ncient to onset the shortage in
the Cuban crop and the increas
ed consumption attending the ap
proachof the canning season
President Menocal of Cuba esti
mates the crop shortage this
yaar at 900,000 tons, u
Une ot the test yields ot po
tatoes that the News has heard
of was made by C. H. Stewart of
Gloucester. Mr. Stewart planted
about six barrels of seed on two
acres of land and got there from
46 barrels. These potatoes
brought him over $1100. He will
get a crop of sweet potatoes

additional fertilizer being applied
