O. Edwards. Sam Smoak, B. S. Call, Johnnie Anderson, Yale Miller, Baxter Davis, Carol Cranor, and Aron Barber (colored) of Cairo as chief cook and bottle washer, loaded up and were off for the coast about 5:00 o’clock p. m. After traveling all night we land ed bright and early on Davis Shore abou^ twenty-five miles up Core Sound north of Beaufort. We unloaded all our provisions and put them on a boat belong ing to H. H. Davis. All boys go ing aboard were safely transport ed, by Mr. Davis and his son. Captain Percy Davis, across the sound about four miles to an is land where camp was set up. All tents were In line facing south ■with Old Glory flying high and proud In front of headquarters tent which was occupied by John Cashion, Scoutmaster, and Mack Proffit, acting assistant Scout master. Tired and worn out from set ting-up camp, and hot from the bridge over a mote at eight feet of water.iThe firat three rooms of the fort had been used for jotfieers headquarters, the next aevea. tor mesa hall, next the balm.^room and kitchen, eight rooms had been used for sol diera quarters, four rooms were made ^ Into a prison. Then we crossed over into the dungeon which had a capacity of 1400 prlsonen. In the court of the fort there has recently been dis covered a sealed room that has not been opened. There are 162 cannons around the walls of the fort. The fort was captured by the Yankees on April 25, 1862. After about three hours at the fort We called it a day and head ed for camp. Supper eaten, mos quitoes fought, and off to bed. We also visited the U. S. fish ery where we saw speciman of ail sea life from the sea foul to the deepest sea dwellers. Among these sea animals was a diamond back tarapin which had two heads. He looked casually abput with One bead and ate yrith- the other, or drank water with one head and ate with the other. Both heads were perfect Jn evpry way. On the way back to camp we stopped at a fertilizer plant where fertilizer was being made from fish. This was entirely new to most of us. Then time came for us to bid the good people of Davis fare well. Although we hated to leave our many friends who had been so nice to us during our stay in this little fishing village, we were glad to be headed for home which was 337' miles away. When we had covered about halt the distance we found ourselves in Raleigh the capitol of our dear old State. Here we spent about a couple hours in the state museum, and then we w'ere on Bt Prowcute4 (Continued from page one) ing and abet ting ^ If las NeUle' Bun that was making short cuts our way again. We arrived sale right down upon us, the sand sol and sound about three o'clock in hot we could barely walk bare foot in it, we went on an extend ed hunt for drinking water. Many surface wells were dug in the afternoon of Aug. 23, and then the old home town assumed her noisy state once again. which We found nothing but j COMMISSIONERS DRAW Hack, slimy, salty water. Final-} JURORS FOR CIVIL TERM ly we gave up all hope of find ing drinking water and decided to take a dip. With bathing suits stretched over our tired, worn, aun baked carcuses we made one long plunge into the cool re freshing briny deep. After an hour or so of swim ming and water sports this tribe of young mountaineer island- dwellers headed for camp to par take of nourishment, and gather wood for the camp fire, .\fter we had been sufficiently filled we made ready for bed as we were tired and worn from our joiirn- Ing. None were hungry, but all thirsty, with “water, water eve rywhere and not a drop to drink.” We had been asleep per haps an hour or so when we awoke to find the sky dark and the sea angry. The wind blew, the clouds got heavier and heav ier until they began to leak. The drops turned into rain and the rain turned into storm. The wind blew harder and the waves dash ed hi.gher, tents were blown down and so far into the night and until day break still rain, wood wet, provisions soaked, no breakfast. Tom Story and Luke Stacey willingly volunteered to walk up the coast four miles to the New Jersey Hunting club and phone .Mr. Davis to come for us. He came immediately and with our faces westward we bade the Island and it’s dwellers farewell. The dwellers of this island were wild cattle, wild boar, wild hors es, wild sheep and possibly some bears. Once again on shore we pitch ed camp in a fish house that wa.s built out over the water. This house belonged to Mr. Paul Da vis. Here we spent our time awimming, fishing, adventuring, boat riding, clamming, scollop ing, and declaring war on mos quitoes. Many a raging battle was founght with mosquitoes without tho complete loss of any of our men but some were bad ly wounded by mosquito fangs (Continued from page one) pay the state labratories for an analysis of the contents of Noah llryant's stomach, it appearing that there was a strong suspicion tliat the negro was poisoned and that an autopsy and analysis was necessary in tlie interest of ' justice. .Jurors .Vrc Briiwii The following jurors for the October term of civil court were drawn hy the county commis sioners and the clerk of court: First AYeek J, A.

The construction of this fort was started In 1826 and was com pleted eight years and three days later. The fort was built to protect Beaufort from her en emy in time of tr >uble. ” ' COMPANY A AT MARION STRIKE For (Continued from page one) ville and Asheville, making a to tal of 180 troops to guard the mills at Marion and to stand by to keep down disorders. Captain Ralph Reins, of the local company, received orders late last night to mobilize the many, many years this fort has guard here and proc ed to been idle and open to the mercy of the forewinds and consider able damage baa been done. It tt estimated that over ten thous- dollars worth of brass has Marion. Early this morning the guard left for Marion by trucks. In addition to the three na tional guard units ordered to re port at TVIarion, two other units, been taken oft the doors alone by one from Charlotte and one from anyone wishing to do so. For the pest four months CCC Camp Company No. 4 32 has been sta- «oned at this fort. Much work is being done about the place aad the Federal Government has ap propriated over two million dol- lars to rebuild the fort as it was during the Civil War.

The bill was returned ‘not a true bin.’ The same gentle(man was Indicted for giving and offering to give and promising to give and purchasing a certain voter, who had affiliated himself with the Republican party. This bill was returned a true bill. “On affidavit, B. R. Wiles was Indicted for voting In more than one precinct In the general State-Wide primary and true bill was found. I do not know what party Mr. Wiles affiliates with. “On affidavit, J. A. Minton was indicted in two bills of in dictment for perjury. Both bills were returned true bills.

Sheppard was also indicted in another bill of indictment for as sault and battery on said voter and this bill was returned, ‘not.] a true bill.’ He was also indicted in another bill for assault and battery on said voter and this bill was returned, ‘not a true bill.' “Upon affidavit, D.

In bill number 14, for voting in more than oue pre cinct; bill number 14 1-2 for vot ing without first being duly reg istered; bill number 14 3-4 for accepting a bribe to vote. These three bills were returned true bills and I understand that Uoope is a Republican. “Upon affidavit, Luther Red man was indicted in two bills of indictment, bill number 12 for making a false oath in register ing under the permanent regis tration law. Bill number 12’ 1-2, charging the defendant with ex ercising the right of suffrage, the said defendant knowing full well at the time be voted he had been convicted of a felony and that lii.s citizenship had not been restored.

Wilkesboro (Continued from page one) “I have asked the state board of elections to send me a full and complete report of the evi dence against various parties, and it will be closely scrutinized and hills of indictment will be sent against parties violating the election aw, but at the present the state board of election have not had sufficient time to make a report on the last hearing, therefore, no additional bills can be sent until I receive this re port. I want to assure the public Statesville, were ordered to re port for duty at Concord and Kannapolis. “Protection of both sides’’— strikers and workers—was said to be the reason for the gover nor authorizing tbe use of troops in the textile strike In North Carolina. The textile strike, nation-wide in scope, has placed in idleness CCO vCftmp guide we ■mnyinteresting things about about 300,000 people at mills in the fort.

I was rather surprised that the grand jury did not return bills against some of the more prominent political leaders at the August term of the court. “Section 173 (B-12), of North Carolina election law provides: “It shall be the duty of the attorney general, the solicitors of the several judicial districts, and all prosecuting attorneys of courts inferior to the Superior court to make diligent inquiry and investigation with respect to any violations of the act, and said off.'-jers are authorized and empowered to subpoena and compel the attendance of any person or persons before them for the purpose of making such inquiry and investi.gation. “I am most certain that the attorney general will join me in every possible way in helping to bring the guilty parties to jus tice. It is ray purpose to consult him as soon as I can get furth er records from the state board of election. I want to say that the state board of elections has shown every possible courtesy to me and I know that Mr. Brum- mitt, the attorney general, will also take great interest in as sisting me to clear up and clean up tbe situation. I am determin ed that the alleged irregularities in the 17th judicial district in the primary will not be smeared. I do not contend that any one is guilty. It is my duty as a solici tor to bring the facts to the judge and jury. “I think the newspapers be fore criticizing me should at least have made some effort to obtain first-hand Information with reference to what was be ing done towards the prosecution of various election frauds.” Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Johnston and son, Richard, and Mrs. Min nie Hunt made a motor trip to Williamsburg, Va., and Wash ington, D. C., during the week end. At Williamsburg they visit ed Mrs. Hunt’s daughter, Mrs. B. T. Steele. this organization cannot be or ganized without a certain num ber of the fairer sex. Tbe Wilkes Pomona Grange plans to be well represented at the state convention this year at Lumberton and will give a form al invitation for the next meet ing. The Kiwanls Club here on last Friday unanimously invited the convention and other civic organizations are expected to ac cord in tbe invitation. Truck Owners Carl F.
