Monroe was hurt while.on'his way home by f all- ling, through ' a ' hatchway and being give a thirty day furlough came Jrm New York to Beaufort to rest UD.andee his friends. ; The sailor -man - has been in the service fifteen years andeight months and can spin some entertaining yarns about .. his . many experincei in for eign lands. He is a member, of the crew of the destroy Overton which sine October 1920 has been cruis ing mostly in the waters of the Black Sea . where with seven other destroy er she has helped to, protect Ameri can Uvea and property. In that re gion there has been much disorder owing to the war between the Greeks and , Turks and the activities of the Russian bolshevik!. " " Monro says that while in Odessa, a Russian seaport, he became a mil lionaire. , A dollar of American money is equivalent In that country to four " million rouble. So by in vesting a ten dollar gold piece he be came, the possessor of forty million Craven County corn which is said on more than one occasion io have gotten people into trouble, emmeshed tnree young white. men in thetoiil of e law last Saturday evening. The latest instance, referred to wa that when'C. W.' Davis, others known as 'Dutch", Lester Newkirk and Robert Hudgins were arrested by Sheriff T, M. Thomas Jr and other officers Satl urday night at "about eight o'clock on the New Bern road in a car with four gallons of whiskey and ' three pints of wine in, their possession. During the afternoon Sheriff Thomas had gotten the information that the men were going after liquor ana so about. dark he went out on the New Bern road accompanied by Sheriff White, Chief of Police Lon. gest ana Uouglas Whitehurst . Pret ty soon they saw the car coming and stopping partly across the road or dered the men to halt. When the liquor stopped the three men men tioned above were put under arrest and all started for town. "Dutch" Davis and Whitehurst were in on one car and the others in the other one. Just before , arriving in town the engine of the car Whitehurst was driving went .dead and he got outto start it. Davis took, advan tage of this opportunity and gave leg bail. Upon arriving in town Sheriff Thomas and the other officers immed iately began search for the missing prisoner. A telephone . message was sent to Morehead City for blood, bounds and as soon as they could be gotten here they were taken to Da vis' room and after, getting the scent ( the Board of Education and the agree- irem some clothing were put on thients as stated above was reached trail The baying of the hounds, a-jU Long stated that the State boar.d roused sleeping dog and they joined ' of Health would find a suitable man in the chorus of sounds that brought ! for the place and in fact already had many sleepers to their doors to see one in view who was thoroughly com. wnat all the fuss was about. The dogs followed the trail around town considerably but finally gave it up at the water' edge. From thisthe deduction was made that the prey had escaped by water, which after wards proved to be true. Davis it teems had considerable help in making his getaway. Some- Have Physician to Look Af ter Public Health Matters ' ; A whole time health officer for Carteret county -will soon be a real- iity so it appear from w-nnnt tnAi. .cations. Except for a, few month when .the late Dr. P. B.

Of this amount the Ste is to pay half and the county half. The county's part is divided between the general fund and the Board of Education. The board of education has agreed to take one cent oh the hundred of (t . : -- nd use this for the health depart ment. . . The matter was brought before the Board of Couny Commissioners at its regular meeting on the first Mon day of this month and it passed a res olution to pay half the amount if the Board of Education would pay the other. For a time there was some hitch about the educational board' complying with these terms. An ef fort was made to get the towns of Morehead City and Beaufort to pay a part of the expense and they agreed to do so but it was seen that this would bring cn a legal fight in so far as , Beaufort was concerned so this plan was dropped. - On Monday Dr. J.
