? Police Catch Russell After
Midnight Thursday in Store
Lewis H. Russell, 25, well-known ?<
resident of Morehead City, waived
hearing in Morehead City record
er's court yesterday on a charge of
breaking and entering Eastman's
Town and Sound shop, Morehead
City, after midnight Thursday.
Bond for his appearance in su
period court was set at $3,500. On
charges of breaking and entering
places in Carteret and Onslow
counties, Russell was released from
the county jail Friday under $2,500 i
bond.
Russell, an employee in a More
head City paint store and a mem
ber of the Morehead City Jaycees,
was caught in Eastman's by Lt.
Joe Smith of the Morehead City
police department.
Sheriff Hugh Salter said Satur
day that Russell has admitted 14
other separate charges of breaking
and entering over the past six
months in Carteret and Onslow
counties. The wave of thefts has
had the county sheriff's depart
ment and Beaufort and Morehead
City police departments on the
alert ever since they started.
In recent weeks, sheriff's depart
ment personnel have been staying
up nights at points throughout the
county, hoping to get a lead on
who was consistently pulling the
break-in jobs.
The break came about midnight
Thursday, when Miss Dorothy Har
rell, who lives on N. 7th street,
across from Eastman's, heard
glass shatter. She saw a man go
through the back door of East
man's on the 7th street side, then :
called Morehead City police.
Lieutenant Smith and patrolman
E. D. O'Neal went to the store at
12:32 a.m. Patrolman O'Neal stay
ed at the door while Lieutenant
Smith went into the dark store.
The officers didn't know whether
one or more persons were in the
store or whether they were armed.
After some time, the lieutenant
found the light switch, then discov
ered behind a rack of dresses on
the east side of the store a man's
feet sticking out below the dresses.
He called to the pereon to come
out. When the man failed to^o so,
the lieutenaht Informed him that
he had a gun on him. Finally,
when Russell heard the click of the
pistol being cocked, he came out.
Lieutenant Smith said he had
with him a cro-bar and was wear
ing gloves. He was booked at the
Morehead City police station on a
scries of breaking and entering
counts, three larceny charges and
one charge of having in his posses
sion burglary tools.
The specific counts against him
are two entries of Dr. W. M. Bra
dy's office, one on Dec. 28, 1959
when $40 in cash was taken and
one on May 11, 1960 when 60 cents
was taken; entry of six offices in
the Wade building last week when
(24 was taken from the Pilot Life
Insurance office, entry on May 16
of the State Commercial Fisheries
office when about a dollar in a
small box by the drink machine
was taken.
Lieutenant Smith said the box
taken from the fisheries office was
found in Russell's car. While Rus

Town Officials to Meet
The North Carolina League of
Municipalities will conduct a clin
ic on town-city problems for mu
nicipal officials in this area Thurs
day, June 16, at Jacksonville.
| A Wags View of the Dogs Tale
(Editor's Note: A reader fa
miliar with the dog problem acta
forth here the situation as it haa
presented itself in recent yeara.
This article is not designed to
pleaae all who read it. As a mat
tor of fact, we guarantee that it
wna't).
1*47 ? Three authentic rabies
caaca picked up on streets of local
communities. An all-out vaccina
tion program, county-wide, admin
ialrred, along with one week of
confinement for dogs in each com
munity during which a purge was
legally enforced. Result: rabies
disappeared.
iW Stray problem again. Irate
humaniata demand legal impound
ncnt'of doga before they are de
itraycd. Beaufort built ? pen be
hind the city hall, confined noisy
pack of 13 dogs for four days. The
afore mentioned irate humanists,
led by a local housewife, "ransom
ed" the 13, removed them one
Mock from the city hall and re
leased them en masse. City clerk
removed his car plugs, and the
mayor philosophically retired be
hind dark glasses.
IM4 ? Rabies appears in dog
from Atlantic Beach. Purge of
dogs quietly executed. Bounty
system of catching dogs in More
head City imposed. Volunteer war
den catches and re-catches all gen
tle p#ts, ignoring big, nasty strays.
One local resident observed that
his pet was held for ransom sev
eral times; these times coincided
with the alcoholic Utint of the
county dog catcher. Alas, Baby
lon!
Said dog catcher ended in de
lirium tremens in county jail. Be
ing profusely covered with dog
bites, he was hurriedly transfer
red to Dix Hill and given Pasteur
treatment.
The enforced period of good food
and sobriety caused said gentle
man to say, "Quit barking at the
doctors." During this period a le
gal threat as to the man's condi
tion was leveled at city hall, but
fortunately was side-stepped. How
ever, the experience caused a cer
tain tension in city hall. A defi
nite allergy to the word "dog" was
noted.

Work on the new Morehead City
Garment Co. plant will begin today.
The plant will go up in the block
bounded by Bridges and Fisher
streets, 16th and 17th streets, More
head City.
The announcement was made
jointly yesterday by Edna M. Jack

head City Garment Company's
present plant in the adjoining block j
in Morehead City, and will be
equipped to employ up to 350 per- j
sons.
I Company officials had deter- 1
mined sometime ago that a new I
plant was needed, and the decision I
to remain in Morehead City was !
! reached through the efforts and co
operation of a group of leading citi
zens of Morehead City, headed by
[ 11. S. Gibbs Jr.
Financing for the new plant was
I partially obtained through Coopera
tive Savings and Loan association
of Wilmington, N. C., through its
Morehead City office, and by a
bond issue of The Morehead City
I Garment Co., subscribed by local
! citizens.
I. E. Pittman of the First-Citi
zens Bank and Trust Co.. is serv
ing as trustee of the building fund
for the garment company.
The contractor is R. M. Turling
ton of Lillington.
j The new plant comes almost 24
years to the day from the time
The Morehead City Garment Co.
first came to Morehead City. Mrs.
Jackson stated that during that
entire period in Morehead City
they have enjoyed the most cordial
and friendly relationship with the
officials and citizens of the town.
She further stated that she is
confident that the expansion of the
plant and its facilities will mean
a great deal to the company, to
present employees, and to the town
by way of increased employment
and economic betterment.
Toastmasters
Talk Politics
"The platform performance of
presidential candidates in the 1960
campaign will be a determining
factor for many voters," E. G.
Phillips, presdient of the Carteret
County Toastmasters club, said
Wednesday night at the club meet
ing in the civic center, Morchead
City.
"Of course voters will consider
the political records of the various
candidates, but how they come
across as public speakers will
greatly affect their chances," the
speaker said.
With jet travel making it possi
ble for candidates to cover great
distances in a few hours and with
millions of people watching them
oh television, Phillips said this
year's candidates will be heard and
seen by more voters than any other
candidates in the history of Amer
ican politics. He said voters will
be studying every gesture and in
flection. Pronunciation, he added,
will also be a standard of meas
urement.
Mr. Phillips said the Carteret
County Toastmasters expect to
have lively political discussions
between now and November. Men
interested in joining the group for
discussions and for speech training
arc invited to attend meetings the
second and fourth Wednesday of
each month, 7:30 p.m., Morchead
City Civic Center.

Dividing Undercurrents
Flow Beneath Surface
Although, on (he surface, Satur-'
day's county Democratic conven
tion was sweetness and light, the
undercurrents of dissension on
what candidates should be support
ed, were evident.
Speeches were made only by
those long in the saddle in county
Democratic circlcs. Their cinpha
sis on harmony and 'we're all
Democrats," in itself ndicated that
they were battling a new stream
of sentiment within the ranks.
The ghost of Kerr Scott, the can
didate who upset old-line Demo
crats in 1948, is again severing
solid machine" ranks. Among
the 35 attending the convention in
the courthouse at Beaufort were
John Larkins supporters, and sup
porters of Terry Sanford. on whose
shoulders the mantle of Kerr Scott
seems to have fallen. Both Lar
kins and Sanford are running for
governor.
Names of the four Democratic
gubernatorial candidates were not
mentioned. State senator Luther
Hamilton advised the gathering
lhat the convention should not en
dorse any particular candidate.
Dissension officially reared its
head only when Eugene Moore,
Marshallberg, a Sanford supporter,
moved that the convention endorse
Skinner A. Chalk, Morehead City,
who is running for Congressman
from this district.
Following a verbal vote, it" was
suggested that it be entered on the
minutes that Mr. Chalk be unani
mously endorsed. With that, C.
(*. Holland, Beaufort, asked that
he be recorded as not voting.
George Ball of Harlowe made the
same request, as did the Rev.
Ralph Fleming, Newport, and Mrs.
I). F. Merrill, Beaufort.
Mr. Chalk, who attended the
meeting, left the room voluntarily <
while the vote was taken. He was
called in as the dissenters were !
asking that they be recorded as
not voting.
Mr. Chalk thanked the conven
tion for its support and said he
would do his best to further the
interests of the people, if he is
clccted.
A. II. James, Morehead City,
county Democratic chairman, was
re-elected. Other officers chosen
were Mrs. D. F. Merrill, first vice
chairman; Mrs. Clayton Fulcher
Jr., second vice-chairman; Mrs.
Effie Adlcr, Morehead City, third
vice-chairman, and Ronald Earl
Mason, Beaufort, secretary.
Mr. James said that Democrats
must be prepared to meet what
ever the Republicans might pre
sent in November. He expressed
[he hope that there would be no ill
will due to individuals' choice of
candidates in the primary.
It was voted that all Democrats
in good standing be permitted to
attend the stale convention in Ra
leigh as delegates May 17. Mayor
W. H. Potter, Beaufort, proposed
that at least 10 or 12 delegates be
specifically named.
Senator Hamilton said that it was
found, in the past, that specific
laming of delegates sometimes
lurt the feelings of those not nam
ed. Mayor Potter did not push the
natter.
In his talk, senator Hamilton

cr spoke in behalf of .senator Jor
Ian, who is seeking re-election to

hat senator Jordan has done a

Dr. David Rose, candidate for

he wants per capita income of this

He claimed that only with fed
