Editor of The Newst $' The escallop season opens in Car teret county today'! and indications fare that a small army of fishermen are attacking" them' in their haunts in Bogue and Core sounds. For some days now the fishermen have been getting" their boats and gears in shape jit-. a m i ior tnis wont ana long oeipre ugnt this morning they were but and as soon as It was light were at their work Reports are that scallops as they are eenerally called ' are plentiful this year and if prices do not get too Iow a lot of money will be made in Carteret county by tnose-"wno. eaten and handle them. Besides the fisher men who gather them a lot of women and children find employment in opening scallops and preparing them for the' market ' The. dealers of course expect to make some money in handling these shell fish and so all in all 'scalloping, is a considerable in dustry. f v ' . .''!' ' . '. " Last season many gallons of scal lops were shipped from this county and they brought from 1 3 to $6 a gallon., This year they are quoted in New York at xi.oo to n per gallon. If they prove to be plentiful this year, fishermen can make good money even at these prices.' li prices aeenne xur ther there would not be much mon ey in gathering the bivalves. r Most ''scallops that are shipped from this section go to New York and other larze cities. Not many are sold In North Carolina as the people up the State, strange to say, do not know muph about them. As a mat ter of fact the escallop Is a very choice shell fish. Firmer and sweet er than the oyster, it has somewhat the flavor of ' crab and lobster, Either fried or stewed the scallop is a very edible morsel. ,: .. . ' For some reason or . other not many food xtsft nave been orougni to this market recently," In fact deal ers have not been able to supply their trade as fully as . they liked. Clams aud oyeters are '. plentiful enough and owing to the warm weath- er the demand for them has not been very active. .

SCHOOL NEWi : (Contributed) Ater a long and very pleasant Thanksgiving vacation. the students ore back, In school ready to buckle down to hard work. As a result ef a breliminarv hear ing which lasted about a day and a half in the cly of New Bern Dr. Leedom Sharp, of ; Morehead City, was bound over to Superior court . under a bond of $500 which was glv- - en. The Tiearing was a habeas cor pus: proceeding and was heard by 1 Judge CC tyoh.T'""""-v'av':" H The accusation 'against Dr. Sharp grew out of the death of Mrs. Pauline Glover Link, of Morehead City which occurred about two, weeks ago: in a New Bern hospital. Mrs. Link was ; operated on for neritonis by Dr. Ray mond Pollock,' of New Bern in the hope of saving her life. After her death the body was carried to More- head City and interred. A few days thereafter the body wis disinterred and an autopsy made. A coroner's Jur chosen . from citiiens of Craven county held , an inquest and found that Mrs. Link came to her death as the result of an illegal operation per- , formed by Dr. Sharp.; , t ' , Dr. Sharp's attorneys, C. R. Wheatly,: of , Beaufort, and C. L. .. Abernethy, of New Bern, applied for a habeas corpus and this was heard by Judge Lyon, Monday and Tuesday sitting as a . committing magistrste with the result above stated.. The matter will now come up here before the grand Jury at the January term. Solicitor Davis who has prosecuted tha case, stated-, that he would seek an indictment in Craven county as well as In Carteret At the hearing in New Bern sev eral physicians were witnesses and stated that while an abortion migns have been produced they would not say positively that it had been done.., No- witness at the hearing expressed the opinion that an' abortion had been produced. None testified 1 that even if an abortion had occurred that It was criminally produced.
