In . response td crowing de
mands if has been found necess
ary to enlarge the mechanical, e
quipmentof the Beaufort News.
Considerablejimprovmehts have
already been made. New and
larger quarters were secured and
a first class cylinder newspaper
press was installed in November!
Other equipment is needed how
ever such as a typesetting ma
chine, a job pressa folder, a pa
per cutter and some other small-
ermatenaL wnen this i: equip
tnent is secured the News will be
ai Well provided for in a mechan
ical way as most any of the bet
ter class weekly and job offices
in the State. . : .
The present management, took
hold of the News'three years ago
and found that it consisted main
ly of a name and a lot of old,
worn ' out material with which
was utterly impossible to get out
a first class newspaper, '. With
such a .handicap of course it has
been up hill work to publish
newspaper in keeping with the
publisher's ideas and with the
needs of the community Now
these conditions areZto be chang
ed and it" will " hot be riT'grea
while before the people of Carter
et county .will have a newspaper
in which they - may ' take some
pride'and which will be of some
real benefit to them. ; In order to
be useful a newspaper must be
able trrmeet thetii& nTcfi
come to it from the field in which
it lives. Carteret county is the
field of the ' Beaufort News and
if it proposes to justify its exist
ence it must fill this field. A
sincere . attempt to do this is
going to be made and for that
reason the. business is to be in
corporated and better facilities
provided. In order thit any
riends and well wishers who de
sire to participate in this enlarge
ment of the News may have
chance to do so a limited amount
of preferred stock is offered,' to
the public This stock will be
sold at fifty dollars a share and
it will pay a guaranteed dividend
of seven per cent a year. About
half of the amount to be sold has
already been subscribed for by
some of the leading citizens of
Beaufort and possibly all of it
could be placed In the town. It
is obviously desirable that some
of this stock should be allotted
to individuals in other parts of
te county. Any persons there
fore who may feel inclined to do
to, have the'privilege of subscrib
ing to this Dreferred stock. Sub
scriptions for -the stock should be
Lsent toAttornies J. r. Duncan
and C K. Wheatly. Applicants
for stock will be notified as to
when payments for it are to te
made. - -
An opportunity is being given
this week to the school . children . "
of Beaufort to have their , teeth
examined, cleaned and repaired
ree of charge. 1 This work 1 is
beinf done by Dr. S. L Bobbitt
who is one of a number .'dentists
sent, out by the ; State Board of .
Health for ; this ' purpcseT' It. ja'
generally regarded now as a. fact
;hat sound teeth are necessary to
good health. - They also are an
aid to the mental as well as the 1 1
physical development of a child.
Besides actual repair work (Dr.
Bobbitt' services have ah educa-
tional value because he instructs 1
the children in the care of their;
teeth and thus if they carry nut
his uistructions ; will be. saved
much pain and trouble as ' they
grow older; Children between
the ages of six and twelve are
the only ones who can get this
free treatment 'This dental
work is not compulsory, - That
is if , parents prefer that ' their
children 6hall have bad teeth in
stead of good ones they can have
thdr way about it The service
is free but it is not going to be
forced on any one. Dr. r Bobbitt
expects to go to all parts M the
county, and wulrbrobably .be in
