OF THEELECTION

All County Office Carried By
Republicans In Last
Week's Contest
TABULATED VOTE GIVEN
HUNTER KILLS TWO BEARS.
As stated in the News last week
the Republicans made a clean sweep
in Carteret cpunty on the second.
The -national, State and County tick
ets were all elected. The Democrats
however have the consolation of hav
ing elected the magistrates and con
stables in Straits and Beaufort town-
:r ships. This was due to the fact so
far as Beaufort was concerned that
V the Republicans did not have town
ship tickets for the absentee voters.
' The avererage Republican majority
in the county was about 230. Sher
iff Thomas who led the ticket got a
majority of 354 and Troy Morris who
n was unknown to most of the voters
in the county got a majority of 140.
The high man on the Democratic
aide was Er-D Hardesty candidate
for surveyor who received 2136 votes
. and the low man was W. W. Lewis
running for commissioner and who
, had 2,011 votes. The Presidential
vote was as follows: Harding 2,315
' Cox 2,070..
Those elected on the township
tickets, all Democrats, were the fol
lowing: Straits, D. W. Gillikin, Jo
el Dowty, Guy C. Chadwick. Beau
fort township, Magistrates, Thos. S.
Martin, John Felton, M. C. Holland,
C. T. Eubartka, Wardell Foreman,
Constable, Leslie Springle.

he went with some neighbors on a
deer hunt and killed a fine doe aud
late that afternoon he got his bears.
The bears had captured a neighbor's
pig aiVd got away with it and Mr.
Lynch learning this went in pursuit.
About half a mile from his home he
heard the porker squealing and went
in this direction. Soon the squeal

and began to squeal. Guided by

cub and succeeded in locating it.
One load of shot proved sufficient to
put him out of business. Both bears
were brought' to town that evening
and were seen by a large number of
people;
It has not been more than a couple
of weeks since Mr. Lynch killed two
bears and those killed Monday are
supposed to be the remaining pair of

SHOOTING AFFRAY
IN MOREHEAD CITY
Colored Men Shoot At Each
- Other and One Is Dan
gerously Wounded
Henry Pritchett, of, Morehead City
a colored man 22 years of age, was
brought here Sunday by Sheriff
Thomas and lodged in jail charged
with shooting another negro, Irvin
Mobley also of Morehead City". Ac
cording to Pritchett's story the shoot
injj was in self defense and justifi
able. He says that about 6 :30 Sun
day morning Mobley who lived just
a short distance from his house saw
him out in the alley and began to
swear' at him and asked what he
was doing there. They had a few
words and then Pritctiett says he
went back in his kitchen. Presently
Mobley apjasared with a shot gun and
fired it through the window at Pritch
ett but missed him by a Jew feet.
Pritchett says lie then got -his pistol
and fired at Mobley twice, one ball
striking him about the middle of his
body.- The wound proved to be a
very serious one and Mobley was
taken to the hospital. His condition
is said to be critical. Pritchett says
that Mobley was drinking when the
shooting occurred. It appears that
there had been ,some bad feeling be
tween the .men for some time.
Pritchett is a married man and has
one child. He has retained Attor
ney E. Walter Hill of Beaufort to
defend him.

state likewise joined the Republican
column. The border states Mary

also helped to swell the Republican
majority.

electoral votes against 127 for Cox

majority ever given in a strsight
