CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-USES, BEAUFORT AND MOREHEAD CITY, N. C. PAGE TE3EX Newport Gardener Says HIS Barrel is the Best TUESDAY, JUNE 18, IMS - ' - - - . . ' .. i iii i ii in i i ' i 1 .' i ' ! i.-rr - .,, . . William J. Jones, Newport, claims he has a strawberry barrel that beats anybody's. Even Mr. Dill's at Beaufort. Mr. Jones, picture here with his barrel, which actually is a 50-gal-lon metal drum, is a successful truck farmer but says that like Mr. Dill, tbis too, is the first time he ever attempted to grow strawberry plants in a barrel. His berries are the Everbear ing variety and the second crop is on its way now.1 Birds didn't bo ther the first crop very much, Mr. Jones reported happily. He also said that 200 quarts of berries' were picked from a bed nearby the barrel. v Mr. Jones' luck evidently runs in the red-colored produce, for he is also a grower of fine tomatoes. Last year he crew some which weighed 22 ounces each. He ex pects his tomatoes to be ready this year about July 1. HARLOWE Mrs. Ben Lewis, of Goldsboro, was here Tuesday1 morning to see Mrs. Ashby B.

Hundred Boys and Girls Attend Camp Morehead Pre-Camp Session Camp Morehead, under the di rection of Pat Crawford, has been conducting a pre-camp session of some one hundred boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12. This session, which hps been held for the past two weeks will close on Friday, at which time the older boys' camp will open. . As the youngsters leave on Fri day the older boys, numbering 170, will take over the camp for the first session to be followed by the same number for the last session of the summer. . This is the first year the camp fcoc heon nnpn for. n nre-camD De- riod and was filled to capacity as soon as Mr. Crawfora maae tne annnnnwment that such a ceriod would be held. Several additions to the camp buildings have been made to care for the expanding enrollment. Another feature that has been inaugurated for this season is a family session to be held before the close of camp. The cottages of the camp will be available for parents and their children for a week or two with meals served in the dining room of the camp. TTnrter th direction of William C. Trotman, one of the counselors of the camp, a most interesting pageant depiciting the last ex ploits of Blackbeard, the pjrate, will be presented before the close of camp. This entertainment will be open to the public and present ed on ' the 'shore' of the camp grounds. '.' . Sound 'engineers estimate that about $2,000,000 a day is lost over the country in lower eficiency and accidents caused by excessive noise, 'i " . k ; i . - m T Mr. Jones, the challenger HERE AND THERE (Continued From Page Two) as the Open Grounds, an immense tract of land belonging to the State, lying, we believe, in Merri mon, Straits and Beaufort town ships. Professor Emmons made a thorough examination of these lands, and we believe, said in one of his reports that if he could get two loads of sand to 'one load of soil it would become very produc tive. We believe it to be one vast ocean of peat. In fact, after the road had been built from North river through to Back Creek in Merrimon township, and it was a good road, notwithstanding our people said it could not be built, that it was Worse than the cele brated "mud cut" on the Western R. R. Somebody dropped a match, or purposedly set it on fire, and immense holes were burned in the ground. Mr. B. L. Perry, Dr. Cramer and others eritered some' of this land and tried to cultivate it. I am told on good authority that corn grew higher in places near the ditch than it ever did in Hyde county, and such Irish potatoes I never : saw. But the project was dropped. Mr. B. L. Perry, Jr., planted j some cranberries on the same land, but they either proved a i failure or were left to be destroy- i ed by the accumulation of moss, i Anyone can stand anywhere on JuiS-Kairio'and shake the ground i for t. least 50 feet in diameter. ' Nothing grows on this land but briers and moss. The first spade spit of this soil is lighter than vanity! the second spade ,is as black as can be, with out a particle of grit or silex jn it. You can cut it like cheese or putty. During the War Between the States our Confederate soldiers used this desolate prairie to come into the Northern lines to see thejr friends and families, no one ever suspecting that there was a passageway from Neuse River through this wilderness. Time and time again the Editor has crossed North River and met Confederate soldiers at Crow Hill, the residence of Tom Perry Chad wick and at the home of Josiah F. Bell. We attended a ball one night at Crow Hill "where . we met Brown Chadwick, John Chadwick, Capt. John Sparrow and about' six or seven other Confeds with a crowd of ladies from the Straits. About 12 o'clock we started across the creek with Eugene Bell and Alex Simpson to the home of Josiah Bell. Just as we got started it commenced to rain, and such rain. We all came ashore and started on the run to the house. Talk a bout bedlam, It broke loose. Brown Chadwick hid himself in Black Hammock, John Chadwick into a fodder stack and what became of the other Confeds, this writer knows not. Mr. T. P. Chadwick was jumping up and down when he saw us and we don't believe he was preaching. Dr. Richard Let ters, from the Straits was up in an old chimney trying to cut his horse's throat, but he was too nerv ous to succeed. It was J funny scene, but this deponent did not stay long to enjoy it, in fact we don't believe it' would have been good for us to stay. A very cordial reception was given the Stroud's Food Center which opened its doors to the pub lic on Friday. Mr. Stroud states he is more than pleased with thf patronage and interest shown. This new concern is located in the former building of the More head Motors at 18th and Arendel' streets, purchased by Mr. Stroud from Leroy Guthrie and remodeled into a most attractive food center The store is operated on the self service system with well-arranger shelving and display cases, making easy selection of al items. ' Mr. -Stroud came here f rom Cherry Point where for severs' years he conducted a similar foot center. He states that he har come to this city to make his home permanently and to enter into th business and civic activities of the community. ft i 4 Tomlinson Chairs "Furniture by Tomlinson" a name you have seen in all the national magazines!
