The reason for this change" is principally due to the fact that the typesetting was done. by a machine instead of by hand asalways has. been the case before. V As stated before in this newspa per some months ago a No. 14 Mer genthaler linotype was bought. "Thig t. chine arrived recently -and last week Mr; D. E. Grlffln, of New York, canfe here and installed and tested out the jnachihe. It was found to.be in perfect order and runs as smooth ly as a firstjcla3s watch. , Electric current is used as a motive ' power and as therejs no day curtent here now, the machine can operate only Mr. Ben II. Nelson, of New Bern, an expert linotype operator " and newspaper man, inhere 'this week helping the News'to get started right and its improved appearance Is largely due to his skill The adver tising matter in the News as well as the news matter in .its columns is now Set mainly by machine and bet ter effects can be had in this way. Mr. K.-C. Hawkins,, a. native of Mdrehead City, recently -employed in Lsurinburg, will be .here" the last of- tho week and -ill-eperaU. th linotype.

Occasionally a boat brings in a small load but most of them haV,done little or nothing, In fact they do not often, go to sea. Their season will be opened bp now In a few weeks and then they hope to make up for lost time. In the meantime those who catch food-fish have been- doing very well. Many good catches of mullets, trout, spots, blue fish and other aorta have been made In recent weeks. A few days ago Captain Tom Lewis brought la a catch of 4000 pounds of blue fish that he got off Diamond" Shoals and other . good sized lots have been brought to the market - Dealers here say that the prices they are getting for fish are not sat isfactory. In some Instances they claim to have lost considerable mon ey on shipments, having paid more for the Ash than they received for them.

"PEE DEE" LOST IN STORM Eleven men struggling for their lives in a stormy sea and yet not. one lost "was the thrilling :, tale ' brought to this port last ' week by by members of the crew of the Cum berland. ' ' . ' -Some days ago the snag boat Pee -Dee left Georgetown, S. C, for Nor folk, Va., "being towed by the U. S. tug Cumberland,, All went w61l as a marriage bell till, Thursday night about midnight when a sudden and violent storm arose. At that time the vessels were ; about twenty-five miles off shore and some fifty miles from this port. The' wind blew with great fury and the. waves were of tremendous pize and the Pee Dee, which was 'built for -. river and harbor work, was unable -to standihe strain and in, short time broke' nto two parts and almost im r.lftdiately . went - to the bottom 'in' about ten fathoms of water. Just before she went down Captain Doug aUs of the Pee Dee sounded the dis tress signal and every member of the crew -except one put on a life ' preserver and just before the craft sank, leaped overboard.' - f ,r" The Cumberland came about and . within a few minutes had reached " tV.e spot where the Pee Dee went ; down and wHere' the struggling men' were crying for help.- A small boat was launched and went to the task. kf picking up the swimmers, but un fortunate lyshe capsized and three more men were added to the eight already in the sea. The Cumberland picked her way" carefully, through the darknesa and threw lines to the me.i until every one was found and brought safely aboard. : Two of the met were bruised up considerably in pulling them out of the water and when the boat came Into the harbor they were ''taken to the hospital at ' Morehead City. The crew of the Pee , Dee lost all of 1 their personal , belongings but their lives were saved and they are now not much the worse for their remsrkable experi ence. , ' - , HERRING HERE MONDAY Honorable Richard L.
