A Noted Woman
Is Retired
Of all North Carolin women,
past and present, we think
that Dr. Jane S. McKimmon
has been the greatest. A few
days ago she retired after be
ing closely associated with
home demonstration work in
North Carolina for a quarter
of a century. Dr. McKimmon
and the role she played in
home demonstration work in
this state has been of greater
benefit to the rural women of
North Carolina than anything
else, from our point of view, j
Her noted work is seen from
one end of the State to the
other. Dr. McKimmon to ru
ral women has for 25 years
been a 'goddess of inspiration.'
ments there is sometimes called
"Jim Morris' Port Terminal.''
Of course it is said in only the
friendliest sort of way, but the
truth of the matter is, that had
it not been for Capt. Jim
Morris, prominent Atlantic re
sident and his enfluence, the
chances are that the splendid
little fishing town on Cora
sound would still be without an
adequate harbor. As it is, the
harbor has been dredged and
for the first time since the old
est resident can remember fish
ing craft and freight boats can
reach the principal wharf of
Atlantic during any kind of
weather or any kind of tide.
The project representing an
expenditure of only a few thou
sand dollars on the part of lo
cal sponsors and the WPA, will
prove of vast benefit not only
to Capt. Jim Morris, but hun
dreds, perhaps thousands of
fishermen of the Core Sound
area. Atlantic and East Car
interest should feel mighty
proud of having such a fine
citizen and leader as Capt.
Jim Morris, as a friend and
neighbor. He has done more
for East Carteret than any
other person we know.

Maurice R. Beaman
Is Dead
Maurice R. Beaman is dead
but his name should linger long
in the minds of Morehead City
port officials. The port term
inal at Morehead City may
have become a reality with
out the aid of Maurice R. Bea
man, but we doubt it seriously.
As a matter of fact, we be
lieve, had it not been for Bea
man and his connections that :
the location of the Morehead,
City port terminal would still
be marshland and shoals. Oth-:
er people too can be credited;
for playing an important role;
in the establishment of the ;
terminal, but most of our cred-!
it goes to the late Maurice II. !
Beaman who died in Clinton
last week, only a short time af
ter he had retired from the ac- j
tive management of the port. j
Red Cross Chapters
Doing Fine Job
Red Cross chapters in Beau
tort ana Moreneaa Uty are ;
doing and have done a fine !
job in connection with the
drive for funds to aid the flood
stricken residents of the mid
dle west. Both chapters have
collected far above their quo
tas and in addition to that have
sent clothes and iood to the
flood sufferers. It is a friendly
and neighborly act on the part
of the citizenship of the coun
ty at large to contribute to this
cause so generously, and it is
a fine job that the Red Cross
chapters of the county have
done in taking up the collec
tions of money, clothing and
food for those in need as a re
sult of the middle west floods.
I "Teachers in my county are making
an average of yJo a month,' say
Representative George E. Davis, of
Hyde. "Their fathers are making 85
cents a day on the farm yet they
are the ones who will be called on to
pay for the increase." Ergo, Mr. Da
vis will not vote for the 10 per cent
boost in state employes' wages.
But Mr. Davis does not stop at
protecting his 85 cents a day con
stituency from the avarice of the
affluent instructors of the youth of
his section; he has introduced into
the house a bill to put an end to the
inroads of wild life from the govern
ment reservation at Mattamuskeet.
Bears, muskrats, foxes and rabbits
are destroying the crops, he avers;
he wants them shot, trapped and
oinerwise disposed 01, wmie crows
are so vicious that he desires to
pizen them.
If Mi'. Davis can show anything
beyond a few dullurs in sales tax
which the farmers of Hyde contrib
ute to the support of state employes,
we'll throw in with him and support
his bill to keep the varmit and ver
min out of the few acres of plowed
land which surround Lake Mattamus
keet. If he can, indeed, demonstrate
that his county does not get more
back from the state's taxation pen
than it contributes thereto, we think
we II agree that the teachers of his
immediate vicinity shoud cot be al
lowed to make more than an average
! of $96 a month.

The city is under Martial Law now, j

We had a camera and newspaper
man in my boat yesterday, got lots
of pictures of rescues.
Love to you both,
Charles.
Dear Mother and Father:
We got back in New York yester
day, surely had some experience
down in Kentucky. The pepole down
there sure were in bad shape and
still are. But there is no more use
for the boats. The water has gone
down too low, it seems to be flooding
the towns on the Miss, river as it
goes south.
Guess you will se some of the pic
tures in the papers that they took of
u and movies also. Lots of the bovs
came Iuk-k sick with co!.-- and a few
with fever and piU'inv.on'a. I came
back O. K. not even- old.
Did you get my letu-r from Louis
ville and the broadcast they sent out
for us. One of the Rauio men who
went down with us sent out a mes
sags over the radio for the ones of
us who gave the names of the ones
we wanted it sent to. I sent one to
you, wonder if you heard it. I
thought maybe someone would pick
it up in Beaufort and tell you, if you
didn't hear it yourselves. We had
plenty of excitement one night. We
were rescuing four hundred people
stranded in a big building, when next
door a fire started in a pain and var
nish factory, and it was a plenty big
fire when the big cans of paint and
wui:isn Marred exploding, it lit up
the whole town adn a girl and a man
were drowned, it was luck, no more
were lost. You can't smoke anywhero
in the city, especially in a boat, he
cause the water is covered with oil
and gasoline. They have orders to
shoot any one caught smoking.

i hese otlicers employ them in vari
ous capacities and pay them for theii
services: ignoring the rights of the
owners and violating the law of the
State. They get information from
them as to political opinions an !
conduct of the owners, and in some
instances arrests of citizens have
been made and property seized upon
Negro testimony.
THE SOLDIERS go, without hesi
tation into kitchens and among the
Negroes, and encourage them to
leave their owners. Some of them
have been promenading the streets
with Negro wenches.
THE INHABITANTS are filled
with loathing disgust by the presence
of this pestlilent army. The disas
trous effects of their conduct toward
the slave population have been rep
resented to Governor Parke, who has
taken up his quarters here for the
present. He has promised to correct
the evil; but does not do it.
JUNE Tth, 1862: The Hon Edward
Stanly, Military Governor of North
Carolina, arrived here today. He deep
ly laments the bad effects of the war

the

U!l-
upon our slave population. He is
clothed with power to restore fugi
tive slaves to their ow ners, but deems
it prudent to avoid the exercise of
such power to any great extent a!
present, on account of the pie-i hei.'
of an abohtionized aimy; ami will
direct his efforts mainly to ti is

He will established a custom house

NEARLY ALL th house furniture

even Mrs. Norcom's wardrobe. The
kitchen and backyard have become a
perfect den of thieving runaway
Negroes. These have free access to
every part of the dwelling. They
have appiopru.ted to themselves such
articles as they wanted, especially
I'ed furniture and table furniture;
they have taken the whole of the
lady's wardrobe; and even her bridal
dress has been worn by Negroes. A
big buck Negro was lately seen seated
in the parlor, thrumming on Mrs.
Norcom's piano.

Coastguardsmen To
Be Guests Of Lang
Another Blunder Made By j
County Board Chairman
The Carteret county board of'
commissioners were in session j
on Monday and Wednesday of j
last week. During those two j
meetings quite a number of !
items were discussed or tak-j
en care of by the board. JIo-i
tions and orders were duly J
recorded by Irwin W. Davis,
cicrk to the board.
Later in the week, accord
ing to very reliable informa
tion reaching this newspaper,
Chairman W. P. Smith present
ed to Clerk Davis a resolution
to be included in the minutes
of the two meetings. The res
olution in question had to do
.with paying a salary to a per
son who has recently been
placed on a certain pavroll
Chairman Smith was unwise
enough to present a resolution
which had not been passed
during a board meeting to be
included in the minutes of said
meeting. Clerk to the Board
JLxvin W. Davis was wise
enough to tell Blundering
Chairman Smith that he would
do nothing of the kind, and he
did not. The foregoing is
written with the thought in
view of tipping off the public
of Carteret county as to the
actions of the ..chairman of
their board of commissioners.
Of course nothing will be done
about it nothing is ever done
about - anything in Carteret
county so it seems.
There's so little tobacco to com
pact in Hyde, not much more soil to
conserve and such a slight prospect
for WPA outlay that farmers mak
injr 85 cents a day ought not to be
asked to arise anybody's wages. In
deed, we think that Mr. Davis should
be permitted, if he sees fit, to take
nine of the ten dollars he is paid for
each day's legislative work at Ral
eigh and divide it among his less
fortunate neighbors.
The dollar a day left him would
then be more than any of his farmer
friends would have, and we are cer
tain Hon. George would not care to
fare better than the humblest of
those voted for him. (Greensboro

hundred of us came down here. We
left New York Monday 2 P. M. on a
special through train, we got in Jef

few minutes.
When we got there there was 10 big
life boats waiting for us. We brought
them across the Ohio River yester
day into Louisville, Ky. Things are
pretty bad here, most of the city is
under water, but don't worry about
me, there is no danger in these big
life boats. We are sleeping and eat
