THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1937 Helping Owe Carteret Farineri Beaufort Business Associa tion, composed of younger bus iness leaders of our town are to be commended for the fine spirit of interest and co-operation they have shown in the es tablishment of an Auction Mar ket here. It is true that the Auction Market this year was established too late to be of much benefit to Bean and Pota to growers, but arrangements have been made tor its re-op ening on Friday morning for the purpose of handling toma toes. The Carteret tomato harvest has just begun and the opening prices are considered fair by local growers, but it will be only a matter of a few days until the price is quite likely to start going down. With the Auction Market op erating it is believed that good prices will be maintained thru outout the green-pack season. In addition to the establish ment of the Auction Market, the Businesss Assciation is also sponsoring a packing stand nearby where the small scale growers without proper facili ties may grade and pack their tomatoes and be given instruc tions in picking. that Mr- Overstreet has been offered an attractive proposi tion in Onslow county at an in crease of $250 per year. His work there would be of the same nature as his work in Carteret county, for the past 15 years Hugh Overstreet has played a very important role in the development of agricultural interests in Car teret since he first came here. If he goes to Onslow it will be a serious loss to this county and the farmers of Carteret who have forged ahead with the cooperation of County A gent Overstreet. Our opinion is that Carteret should make him a better offer than Onslow has made and keep him here. While the development of farming has gone forward rap idly during the past 15 years, this important industry in this coastal county has in reality just begun. There are thous ands of acres yet to be devel oped and Carteret needs a man of the calibre of Hugh Over street to aid in the continued development. Obituaries MRS. JOHN N. RUMLEY Our Summer Visitors Like New Golf Links Our summer visitors like Gulf Stream Golf Links. Many Non residents have played the course recently and each were high in their praise for the lay out. Albert Tufts of Chapel Hill and Pinehurst saw the course a few weeks ago and said, "You have a fine layout, but you will find it is going to take plenty of fertilizer to get crass to grow in that sand." If Mr. Tufts should return today he would see grass growing on the course, and the kind of fer tilizer used would probably surprise him. Instead of buy ing expensive fertilizers, Philip Ball, designer of the course saw the possibility of using fish scrap not the kind that is manufactured at local plants, but the waste material from the fillet room of N. C. Fisher ies Inc-, in Morehead City which Manager John Sikes freely contributed. The idea was not exactely original with Mr. Ball because the American Indians were growing maise in a similiar manner when Barlow and Armidas first brought their fleet to anchor o.North Carolina during the late 16th Century. But the fish waste has grass. And that is why non residents playing the course have praised it. They have seen grass growing on fairways where no grass suitable for fair ways ever grew before. The entire lay-out has received favorable comment from visit ing golfers, and that should be good news to the non-golfers here at home who in many in stances had never seen a golf course until the WPA sponsor ed Gulf Stream Links started taking shape. Funeral services were conducted for the late Mrs. Sallie Brown Rum ley at St. Paul's Episcopal church Saturday at 11 A. M. by the Rector of the church Rev. E. C. McConnell, with interment at Ocean View Cemetery. lne late Mrs. Kumley passed a way at The State Sanatorium after a long period of ill health. She was a life long member of the Episcopal church and attended its services as long as her health permitted. Sht was the daughter of the late George Brown and Laura Barber Brown and was born in Hyde county. She was 56 years of age. Those who survive her are her husband John N. Rumley of Norfolk, Va., two daughters, Mrs. Carl B. Chadwick of Beaufort and Mrs. Alvin B. Creekmore of Norfolk, a stepson James D. Rumley of Beau fort, two sisters Miss Virginia Brown and Mrs. Ed Spencer of Hyde county and a brother Harry Brown of Wash ington, N. C. Her mother preceded her in death about a week. Those in attendance on her fun eral from out of town, were her hus band John N. Rumley who came with the remains from Raleigh, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin B. Creekmore of Norfolk, daughter and son-in-law, sisters Miss Virginia Brown and Mrs. Ed Spen cer of Swan Quarter, brother Mr. Harry Brown of Washington, N.

I think it would be to the best interest of the democratic party if their leaders would nominate Mr. Davis to this position and persuade him to accept. Sincerly, J. W.

A question frequently asked here of late is "When will work begin on Federal Build ing?" Beaufort has been as sured of a fine new $118,000 Federal Building. The appro frriation for same was obtained ast year by Representative Graham A. Harden. The Gov ernment has bought a site at the southeast corner of Pollock and Front street and the loca tion has been cleared for the proposed erection of the build ing but so far no actual con struction has begun. It is un derstood that the bids for con struction of the building will be let on or about July 1. That means actual construction may begin about 30 days later. Many citizens hereabouts are anxious for the work to start- because we need the Federal building now. Father in thy gracious keeping Leave we now thy servant sleeping, GEORGE VERNON PIVER JR. Eighteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Piver passed away Sunday morning following a brief illness. - Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday afternoon by Rev. C. S. Rogers, pastor of the Methodist church and Rev. E. C. Mc Connell, Rector of St. Paul"s Epis copal church. Solo "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" was rendered by Dr. F. E. Hyde. Selections by the choir were: "In the Garden Alone;' "There is a Home for Little Children," "I Will Sing You a Song." The pall bear ers were: Braxton Adair, Carlton Rose, Richard Chadwick, Edward Potter and Tom Davis. The child is survived by its parents Mr. and Mrs. George Piver, one sister Peggy, and a half sister, Helen Piver of Green ville, grand parents and a host of relatives. Carteret May Lose Hugh Overstreet Carteret may lose County Farm Agent Hugh Overstreet Rumors are floating around Our Mail Box STEWART OPINION'S The formal announcement of Mr. Luther Hamilton as Special Superior Court Judge leaves two vacancies in the democratic political machine namely, county attorney and the charmanship of the County Demo cratics. In looking over the available men for the county attorney we find it boils down to the following men, M. Leslie Davis, Baker Morris and Alva Hamilton. The man who appears to be the best suited for this job, that is, who would cause less friction of the various local factions would be Alva Hamilton. It is to be hoped that he will be nominated to this office. He seems to be the only hope for this county, especially if the re financing program as has already been started is to be a success. The chairmanship of the County Democrats in reality belongs to only one man and he is Irvin Davis, the present register of deeds. His con tacts not only with local politicians but likewise of the state place him in a position where as chairman of (Continued from page one) pointed bills' that bored holes in the piles which form part of the trestle between Morehead City and Beau fort. The 'not for publication' state ment was picked up by E. C. Daniels, Jr., then of the News and Observer (now of the AP in New York) and played up in "UNDER THE DOME.' COL. WISE OF Princeton, N. J writes: "I am very anxious to go after dolphin off Cape Lookout be cause I have just written a chapter in the book I am now preparing de scribing dolphin fishing in Hawaii. It would be interesting if I can show that we have as good as fishing in iNorth Carolina for dolphins as there is in Hawaii That for Dol phins. Now there is another thing I am thinking about Marlins. At present anglers along our Middle At lantic have to go a long way to good marlin grounds. Most of them go to Bimini or Florida. A clipping in The Beaufort News says there is a possi bility that I am going after Marlins at Lookout. I hope there is a possi bility because I would like to be the fellow who finds them there. There is no reason why they should not be there for the Gulf Stream should sweep them there. ..." IF COL. WISE or anyone as for that going matter catches a Marlin off Cape Lookout, the central Caro lina coast overnight will become the most attractive fishing grounds for big game anglers along the Atlantic No angler hereabouts has the equip ment for landing a marlin even if they should get a strike. As a mat ter of fact few anglers hereabouts have the proper tackle for landing even a tarpon although it is a sure bet that tarpon may be taken off Cape Lookout and they have been taken near Ocracoke Under a Raleigh dateline this week appeared a story about a 4-foot tarpon which Dr. Prytherch caught last summer on a fishing trip to the Gulf tream. That goes to show how an up-state writer san get things messed up. Dr. Prytherch did not catch the Tarpon and none have been landed with rod and reel in Carteret waters during the past three years to my know ledge. But quite a few have been taken in the nets of commercial fish ermen and if anyone is interested in seeing one of these fish sometimes called "Silverkings" they may do so at N. C. Fisheries Inc. John Sikes has two or three or possibly more frozen solid in there. They v. of ((.miiH'rcial people to my tarpon near O reel. They ttcilnian. the and "Thirsty' LAST WEEK most of this column j was devoted to telling about Car teret's year-round and most substan tial manufacturing enterprise: The Scai Inn o-Safrit Lumber Company. When I wrote the column 1 was some what dubious about publishing same because in the first place it was not written in the best of style and I was at loss to know how a lumber story would go across. This week I have learned that the column went across very good. Several favorable comments have come from different people. The comment I appreciated most came from Mr. Safrit, who heads the local plant. He told me that this plant had a capactiy of eight million feet per year. Scarboro Safrit's plant in Mt Gilead has a capacity of 20 million feet per year. MR. SAFRIT is mighty intereted in the continued operation of the rail road which serves Beaufort. With out a railroad, his plant which era plys 100 here anJ results in the em ulynient of several hundred more in the woods logging and hauling, will be forced to close down. Eight million feet of lumber from his plant will make approximately 350 solid freight car loads, if it was all shipp ed by rail. The majority of the total output is shipped by rail. The column last week was read by a couple of furniture factors operators far up-state. Last week-end they visited Scarboro-Safrit Lumber Com- nanv and made tentative arrange ments to secure material for making i i .1 . u u . : cnairs.. anu inai. Miuwa uui li pays to advertise. .
