N. B. and C. Line Has
Increased Business
A s-teady increase in business for
the Norfolk, Baltimore and Carolina
Line which operates three regular
boats into the port of Beaufort has
been noted during the past year, ac
cording to R. Hugh Hill, local agent
for the company. The three largest
boats making regular calls at Beau
fort are the Worthington, Emblaine
ami Woonsocket. The Worthington,
largest of these vessels is of 750
gioss tonnage. The vessels operate on
the Inland waterway between Wil
mington and Norfolk, and ports of
importance between. In Norfolk
they make direct connections with
larger vessels of the line operating
on the Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore.
So attractive are the rates by water
that a tremendous amount of com
modities such as fertilizer, fish, veg
etables, and farm produce and gen
eral merchandise are shipped to and
from Beaufort and Morehead City
over this line.
coast which cannot be reached by au
tomobile. Mr. Banks and other cit
izens there have automobiles, but
they have to park them or leave them
in garages on the west side of South
River, near Merrimon, instead or driv
ing them on to the village of Lukens.
Mr. Banks was interviewed when he
was in town last Saturday morning.
At the time both he and the editor
of The News were at Loftins admir
ing the new 1938 Fords.

Newport Mule Dealer
In West On Business
L. C, Carroll, who for the past 30
years has operated a horse and mule
trading business in Newport leCt
that town in Western Carteret coun
ty last Saturday on a business trip
which took him first to Atlanta, Ga.
and from there to Kansas City, Mo.
Such was the information he gave a
Beaufort News reporter in Newport
on Saturday morning. Mr. Carrow
stated that he would go first direct
to Atlanta, Ga., and if he could no
get what he wanted then. !n the way
of mules he would go on to Kansas
City and buy a carload of more of
the hybrid beasts of burden. Mr.
Carroll is known far and wide for
his exceptional ability in the horse
and mule trading business. At one
time or another he has sold or trad
ed with practically every dirt farmer
in Caiteret county during the past
30 years.
Heavy Run of Fish
Hinders Navigation
Making front page in the News
and Observer one day last week was
a story under a Wilmingtond ateline
which told about a big run of men
haden in Topsail Inlet near that city.
The reference did not mean Old Top
Kiil Inlet, original name of Beau
fort Entrance. The menhaden were
so thick in the water they smothered
to death and boats up to 40 feet in
length could not navigate in the wa
ters, because the fish clogged the pro
pellers of the boat. When the tid.1
ebbed, there were dead fish, a foot
deep floating along the shore and in
the meantime . , . And if another
flood time did not wash them away,
the fish by this time or what is left
of them probably, would make the
leeward side of a Carteret fish fac
tory smell like a bottle of the best
perfume in comparison.
Two Va. Trawlers
Sold Their Catch
In Morehead City
Two Virginia trawleis, the Voy
ager of Newport News and the .1 i n p t
I ol Hamilton brought their catches
to Morehead City last week-end an 1
sold them to Ben Gray, who is in the
hsh business there. Each trawler
had approximately 150 boxes of fish
aboard, which the skippers of the ves
sels said was not considered a fair
catch. They had lost time though,
sailing in rough seas off Hattcias
and it was necessary for them tn
come in for supplies and ice.
The voyager, is a 63 foot vessel
rebuilt at Crittenden, Va., in 1031.

II. T. Banks, piominent citizen

Lukens owns a car which he places in
his garage when not using same. But
to reach the garage from his home

for him to take a boat trip for at
least one and a half miles. Lukens is
the only community on the mainland
in Carteret county, and probably
the only mainland community in
North Carolina or along the East
