THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1937 A Few Words About Liquor In the dining room of Atlan tic Beach Hotel last Sunday a small group was discussing liquor advertising. It is hard for an editor to remember phrases he hears from time to time, but one of the men pres ent gave a mighty good descrip tion of liquor which the editor remembers and which is more truth than poetry. He said: "In public liquor has few friends m private liquor has few enemies." And that just about sums up the situation. sor the same welcome and assistance you have always rendered me. I want to thank you, Aycock, for all you have done in keeping my work before the public. I only wish we had more Aycock Browns in Eastern North Carolina. 1 don't believe the time is far dis tant when Carteret County will be classed as one of the best counties agriculturally in the state. The pos sibilities are great, and all that is needed is to develop them. With my very best wishes for Car teret as a whole and each of you in dividually, I am. Very sincerly Hugh Overstreet County Agent : Press Qleanings j Harkers Island Citizens Stick Together The citizens of Harkers Is land stick together when they have an objective in view. This co-operation will eventually mean a more complete develop ment of the that locality. At the midsummer meeting of the Board of Conservation and De velopment in Morehead City on Monday nearly 200 of the representative citizens of Hark ers Island attended and fought for what they believe mean. a future to the seafood industry along the Carolina coast. Part of their request, the prohibi tion ol shnmp trawline in cer tain areas, was granted. A sub committee of the board is giv ing lurther consideration be fore giving a final decision on everything they wished. The Conservation Board must have been impressed by the large group of island citizens who at tended the meeting. It showed a spirit of cooperation and it showed that there are leaders down there who can organize the citizens. Many improve ments for the section have been secured as a result of the cooperation. Within a few years if this same spirit con tinues Harkers Island will be connected to the mainland with a bridge there will be electric lights and harbor im provements. In other words such co-operation will eventu ally bring Harkers Island lit erally 'into the state of North Carolina. The fine spirit shown in going after things on Hark ers Island deserved commendation. "BILVILLE DIVIDE" While at Atlantic Beach last night I ran into Claude Wheatly, and old friend of mine, and Judge Jule Dun can, both of Beaufort They had just bought that three-mile stretch of railroad from Beaufort to More head City and had gotten the A. and N. C. to run it. Said Claude Wheat ly, "Well, the judge and myself have owned about everything else, land, mills, nisheries, stores, boats, so we thought we'd buy the railroaJ.

MARK MOHLER is the name o:i the contract filed at the Register of deeds offic2 yesterday which made a front page news stoiy under a Beau fort dateline in The News and Ob server today. Mr. Mohlor and my self talked for the better part of an hour about the proposal to make a Negro resort of Edgewater Club prop erties on Bougue Sound. In the meantime unconfirmed stories appear ed in another local newspaper. Whether the proposal of the group of Negroes world goes through at the swanky Edgewater properties 1 do not know.

WORKMEN COMPENSATION HEARINGS HERE TODAY Our Mail Box nan Judge Buren Jerney, Commission er, of Statesville held court at the Court House today hearing cases with reference to the ,N. C. Work men s Compensation Insurance. Mr Walter Y. Worth was court reporter. The first case heard was that of Wal ter M. Willis of Marshallberg vs Beaufort Fisheries. Several other cas es were to be heard during the day Former County Agent Expresses Gratitude Hugh Overstreet, who for 13 years served as farm agent in Carteret co unty paid a visit to Beaufort, Tues day and while here left a letter for publication whkh expresses his grati tude for the cooperation and friend ship shown him during his stay in the county. Mr. Overstreet was lost to vnsiow county, wnen slow moving Carteret commissioners acted too late to keep him here. Mr. Overstreet's letter follows: To the Editor :- Please allow me space in your paper to express to the people of Carteret County my gratitude for the splendid cooperation and friendship given me during the thirteen years I served them as county agent. One I never realizes how much his friends mean to him until they are seperated. I want the people of Carteret County to know I appreciate everything they did for me to make my work pleasant (during my stay with them, and jem tho I have left them for the present I shall always have a deep interest in their welfare. r ' I want to thank the County Com missioners for their fine spirit of cooperation during my stay in the co unty as I do not recall a single in stance when the commissioners failed to meet any request for appropria tions, or other assistance.

Senator Rob inson, stranger in North Carolina coastal waters where fishing was good, died of a heart attack in Wash ington yesterday. I HAVE A great deal of respect and admiration for Earle Davis of Harkers Island, but I think his pro posal before the Conservation Boahrd on Monday to prohibit the sale of fish North Carolina to enact a law which taken in trawl nets, to markets in most cock-eyed proposals I have ever heard made. The small time fisher men deserves consideration. Laws and regulations should be enacted that will give them the protection they deserve. But for the State of North Carolina to enact a law yhich would prohibit a trawler who had taken fish beyond the territorial limits of the United States, to sell same on North Carolina markets seems like a throat cutting business to me. It would simnlv mean that the fish taken in such a method would be sold on the markets at Norfolk and then shipped right back into the State of North Carolina to consum ers. Incidentally I believe that if a test case was made of the existing purse seine law relative to taking food fish-that the law like the nets tent that same was in the process of being sold to Mohler. Mohler was also interested in the newspapers published in Carteret county. He was so interested in The Beaufort News that he carried awawy two or three copies containing an editorial wnicn advocated a community re creation project for our local color ed race. NIMROD CAUTIOUS Calhoun local Negro theologian dropped by the office after last week's edition and thanked the editor on behalf of his race for the editorial. He said that it was the first time any one had shown any apparent interest in the welfare of the colored citizens of Beaufort. I wrote the editorial in all seriousness. About a month ago some of the prominent white citizens asked that I write about certain con ditions existing on Front Street in vicinity of Inlet Inn pier. The article aroused the wrath of certain mem bers of the colored race hereabouts I was not trying to cover up the first editorial by writing the second. I still contend that our colored citizens should be given more consideration in the way of improvements for their section of town and for their recrea : 4-t ii i . . nun man uiey nave Deen snown in the past. world of their race. Morehead City business interests were alarmed at the reports and were of the opinion that such a re sort would seriously handicap the westward growth of their town. On the other hand, plans revealed, indi cated that fiom ten to twenty five thousand Negroes would visit the re sort each week, when and if the plans materialize.

He presented petitions fiom his island, Ocracoke and Hatteras bearing the names of 300 or more petitioners who wanted the ban placed on trawl ing operations and in his verbal argu ment he was given support by Cecil Morris of Atlantic, Walter Lewis of Morehead City and Walter Hill fo Beaufort, an attorney who admitted that he knew little aboutt he fishing industry when he helped make a rath er convincing talk. Davis on behalf of the fishermen requested that the board make a reg ulation "prohibitnig both shrimp and fish trawling in outside waters of North Carolina . . and to prohibit the sale on produce caught by such trawls in such waters."
