The Re- publicans wijre routed horse, foot and (httgoons. The Democrats ap - parently polled their full strength and had the assistance of a number of iormer Republicans wno out ma the Democrats themselves in their efforts to win. No exact figures as to how the county went are obtain able at this writing anditwill be next week before the full details of the election can be given in this newspaper. Some estimate the ma jority as high as 700, some say 500 and others think "between three and four hundred. There were a number of suprises in the election, one of these was Beaufort and aViother was Newport. The Republicans thought they would carry Beaufort by 100 majority and instead lost it around 90 majority. T. C. Wade running for sheriff- a gainst C. G. Gaskill got 668 vote here against Gaskill's 480. The highest vote in Beaufort was polled by if. W. Hassell running for Su perior Court Clerk who secured 678 vnfaa urliilo liia onnoiunt C. H. Tttishnll trot 361. A considerable number of Republicans who were op- posed to Bushall on account of his activity in prosecuting the whiskey . . i i cases last June, .votea ana worwu against Bushall. A lew "ary dem ocrats voted for him but most Dem ocrats stuck to their ticket. Two years ago Newport gave a majority ' for the Republican ticket of 209 and this year the majority dropped down to about 80. The fight over the new school building and dissensions among the Republicans are said to be the reason the Republicans lost out there. Last year Otway gave a Re - publican majority of 55 and this year it went Democratic by 21 major- itT Republicans say the Democrats used a lot of money there and that tells the tale aa to the result. Wil listo remains the banner Republi can precinct having polled 102 out of 104 votes cast. A iull report of the eounty vote will be given in the next issue of the News. SEAMEN ENJOYED THEIR ,VIS1T TO BEAUFORT T the Editor of the Beaufort' News: 'Gone but not forgotten, .

For on the arrival of the U. S. S. Worden in Beaufort the crew of this ship as a great surprise as cA hap pen in a mans naval careerfor the past two weeks before arriving in Beaufort. the' crew of the U. S. S. Worden had been fairly well dis gusted with their prospects of a (Navy Day) celebration when they were informed that they would cel ebrate this day in a small town on the coast of North Carolina. This was doubly so when it was known that other ships of the Atlantic Fleet were detailed, to spend "Navy Day" in the large and famous seaport towns such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and even., some were sent to New Orleans. But after spend ing the few days alloted to us I doubt if some had as good. I Upon our first night ashore which was a liberty party consisting of a bout fifty per cent of the crew, and each and every man will state theat they never .received a more cordial welcome in any other port that they have visited. For the.aodalibility of the people of the little ci(y surely equaled If if ' not surpassed that of any port from Florida to Maine because 'we were received anda made welcome the aame ss If we were in a home port all perfect strangers and absolutely unexpected, .

From the 1 embarassing position that they were placed in by our unannounced arrival t they arose to greet us with a wel- come hand. Ana tne secona nignt of our visit plans for a celebration were made and being executed to the satisfaction ofevery one. The third day which wasNavy Day the spirit of congeniality distinguish ed itself at the best. From the good ly crowd that met the parading squads' at the dock and through the parade to honoring the departed he ro of the city. When the parade was concluded a tasty meal was served to the men in ranks at the Inlet Ho tel and the Savoy Cafe, and this was surely a high point scored in favor of the people of Beaufort in the sail or hearts. And in the evening of the same day the good will continued and placed at our disposal was a dance and the enjoyment that was there can only be described by the men then ashore who attended the affair. The last two days of our stay there i were the Droudest of them all to the j boys on the U. S. S. Worden. When J they had the pleasure and honor of escorting about the ship crowds of . j j s j j people Irom tne cnyj ana we wn truthfully say, that we tried our ut most to return some of the great pleasure that was extended to ua while, ashore, and we continue to live in hopes that we partially succeeded. The efforts put out by the people t there were a success and these men aboard the U. S. S. Worden ajre ' forever hoping that some day in the future we t will again spend some 1 time in Beaufort, for we know that jjn the city the crew of the ship will j finj a hearty welcome. i From the crew of th U.

C. Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit the fol lowing report covering work accom plished in Carteret County during the month of October, 1922. Most of the month has been taken up with Typhoid-Diptheria clinics. I have been unable to reach all the large schools most of whch have been completed, judging from the number of schools visited and the to tal population in the neighborhood of these schools. I have been able to reach about 75 per cent of the total population of the county. The general health of the county has been good. The following number of eases of diptheria have been re ported, nine; typhoid fever, four; tuberculosis two. As I said before the TyphoMcDiptheria clinics have held the center of the field. Detailed Report ! Inoculations: Typhoid 419 Complete 3 doses each. Diptheria 392 V Vaccination smallpox 2 Physical Examinations 34 Contagious Diseases quarantined 12 Conferences (Re. Health Work) 15 Visits: Jail 4 8 1 5 4 1 1 (Masked), 11 2 .127 County Home (Laboratory Specimens: i Malaria Hookworm Diptheria Tuberculosis Blooa" Food Control Inspector restaurants, etc.) Special Examinations j School Children examined I The thing which has concerned our i atention a good bit is the county home. I will endeavor to give you an idea of conditions as they were upon my arrival, and recommenda tions to better these conditions. The general appearance of the home is godHhe buildings are neat; and the rooms large enough for two occu- ! pants: the grounds around are ample. 'considering the number of inmates 'we have; the outbuildings are good; they have water and light with bath facilities, but only cold water. The number of inmates are sixteen, one jof the number having died soon af ,ter my arrival here. The sanitary j conditions at the home are poor, I There are neither bath nor toilet fa cilities for the keeper. This, of ' . . . a? i course, is a very important aagunci i to a crood countv home. The kitchen and cooking arrangements are inad equate, We have no arrangements, whatever, to care' for the sick ex cept their rooms, therefore I would recommend that the following be done to the home, if possible: Tw rooms be added, one at each end of the hoase, where proper fa cilities may be arranged for toilet and bath, the baths to be of the shower kind. The floor in the bath room to be of concrete, and in order to do this it is necessary that we have a new range in the kitchen with hot wyter (arrangement, and tank sufficiently large enough to supply the entire bulling with hot water. The baths, as they are at present, are oc cupying two af the rooms which will be needed for inmate sooner or lat er. It is hardly fair to ask a person to occupy a room' that Is used for s bath. ' The grounds should be cleaned of all grass, weeds, rubbish, etc., and swept at least once a wwek. As soon as the new rooms have been completed at the home, all unsanitary privies should be done away with. The wood 'should be so placed as to give neat arrangements to the ysrd. A recommendation which is very importanUs a room suitable for tak ing care of the ' ' sick inmates. I would therefore suggest that we con. struct at the county home two-rooms one for the men and one for the wo men in the shape of wards, to be us ed in case, of illness. They should have is good southern outlook and be well lighted. They should also have (Continued on page nine) I NEW ENTERPRISES MAY LOCATE HEE Effort Vill Be Made to Secure Baptist Seaside Assembly and A Hospital A called meeting of the Chamber of Commerce directors held yester day afternoon Bet in motion plans that may result in bringing two new enterprises of great importance to Beaufort. One of these is known as the Baptist Seaside Assembly and the other is a hospital. ' The Reverend C. W. Elanchard of New Bern met with the directors and at, the request of President Seeley gavean account of the Baptist Assem bly which is an institution similar to that conducted by the Baptist denom ination in the western part of the State at Blue Bridge. The Assem bly has been meeting for several years at Wrightsville Beach but is lookong around now for a place for a per manent location. I supplies the de mands of, the Baptists of eastern Carolina for a place of assembly. The Assembly will require for its purposes a considerable tract of land, 100 acres or more. On these grounds there will be erected a large auditorium, a number of cottages and domitories and possibly other build ings. The purpose of the Assembly is to do educational work. Promi nent divines and laymen from all over the country usually attend these meetings and many other people be sides. A committee which is to decide on the location of the Assembly is to meet in Goldsboro tomorrow and a delegation from Beaufort will go there to make a bid for it. A com mittee composed of Dr. C. L. Dun- :can, W. H. Taylor, U. E. Swann, W. A. Mace and F. R. Seeley was ap pointed yesterday to see if a suita ble location could be found. Dr. D. W. Wynkoop of Babylon long Island, who is a visitor in town came before the board and suggest ed a plan for establishing a hospital here. The idea is to start witi a small hospital of about 20 beds and then increase it as needed. A mass meeting of citizens will be called 'soon to stir up interest in the pro ject. The following were appointed 'on a committee to see what interest ' there is in town in the proposed hos 'pital: Dr. C. L. Duncan, W. A. ' Mace, Dr. C. S. Maxwell, Dr.- C. L. 1 Swindell, U E. Swann. j The matter of fish boat anchorages .in fropt of town was taken up and the Secretary was instructed to write owners of boats and request them not to put boats in the harbor. COMMUNITY CLUB ENTERTAINS. On October 27th the Community rinh hf Romifnrt haA thfir Vparlv j get-to-gether meeting and at the bnuie time kotc b tcicfnuu w faculties of the St. Paul's and the Graded Schools. It was also the pleasure of the Club to have the offi cers of the destroyer "Worden" as guests. Mrs.F. R. Seeley very gra ciously, offered the use of the home for this occasion. N The Club officers with their hus- I bands welcomed the guests at the front door. From a bower, beauti fully decorated with autum leaves, Mesdames N. F. Eure and Wiley Taylor served punch. A great deal of laughter was cre ated when Mrs Seeley read clever rhymes as she introduced each teaci er to the other guests. And there was more merryment as the young men tried to ask their "cross ques tions" and the young ladles to give their "crooked answers" with straight faces. Delightful music was furnished at this time by Mesdames Hendrix, O'- Bryan, James Hutton, Misses Webb, Wolf, Hendrix and Mr. Holland. So los by Miss Modlin, Messrs Leslie Davis, and A. D. 0"Bryan were also enjoyed. Refreshments of cream, cake, mints and salted almonds were served. The decorations were lovely. The hall, living room, and dining room were thrown together and festoons of roses sad evergreens hung from the chandeliers and arched doorways. The dining table had been made love ly .with, silver candle sticks, green candles, aad tulle. Bowls of gorge ous fall flowers, skillfully plaeed, added richness to this appropriate DEMOCRATS GAIN IN NATION ALSO Republican Representation In Congress Materially Reduc ed State Democratic by Big Majority The election Tuesday showed plain ly enough' that in the nation as well as in the State this was a Demo cratic year. Incomplete returns in dicate the State has given a heavy Democratic majority. All ten of the Congressional districts have been captured by the Democrats or rath er held, as they already had them. Abernethy seems to have carried the third district by a large majority. The Democrats also claim that they have carried several 'counties that were formerly Republican, It seems though that the Democratic vote in a great many counties was very light. Many people, both Democrats and Republicans did not take the trouble to vote at all. In the nation, as was generally forecast the Democrats have made big gains. They have cut down the Republican majority in both houses but do not appear at this hour to have captured either house. Smith of New York Democratic candidate for Governor defeated Miller the Republican and in New Jersey Ed wards the "wet" Democratic candi date defeated Frellnghuysen the dry Republican candidate. In a "number of districts the wet and dry issue was a factor but it is not possible at this time to tell which side got the better of it. Illinois voted In favor of light wines and beer. The same state also voted for a 55 million dol lar soldier bonus law. NEWPORT FAIR WAS A BIG SUCCESS In the way of enthusiasm, interest, crowd, exhibits and weather the Newport Fair last Friday was a great success. County agent Harris, the exhibitors and all "who took part in the fair deserve great praise for the ,efTorts which they put forth and the results achieved. A large number of people from the immediate territory a considerable number from Morehead City, Beau fort ana" elsewhere were present to see the opening of the first Com munity Fair held in the county and probably all went away impressed with what they had seen. The ex hibits with the exception of the live stock were plaeed in the handsome new school buildirfg of which many ol the people in the community are very proud. The live stock con sisting of several good cows and some fine hogs were exhibited just across the road from the school. The first thing on the prof-am was a parade headed by the Beaufort Public School ind. The parade was a lengthy and imposing one, hav ing some four hundred or more children in line. After the parade there was speaking on farm subjects in the auditorium by Messrs Jacobs and Kirkpatric of New Bern. About one o'clock after the judges had in spected the exhibits and made their decisions the doors were opened and the crowd poured in and gave the a looking over. The exhibits of far products, canned goods, pickles, pre serves, ladies fancy work, antiques, fruits and flowers were all highly in teresting and made an excellent showing. It is the purpose of the News to publish in next weeks issue the names of the exhibitors who won the prizes. The list could not be obtained in time for this issue of the paper. CONTRACT LET FOR SCHOOL BUILDING Camp Glenn is to have have a first class school building ss soon as it can be erected. At its meeting Mon day the Board of Education let a oontract to Guthrie Brothers to build a two story structure with eight class rooms and an auditorium. The build ing Is to cost $25,465.60. The old school building was sold to the M. E. Church for $100. MARRIAGE LICENSE. Register of Deeds Troy Morris is sued a license recently to Marcus McLsin Norris and Rath Morse of Pelletier.

ADDITIONAL LINES TO BE INSTALLED Sewer Work Has Been Done For So Much Less Than Or iginal Estimate, So More Will Be Done As a result of the action taken by the Board of Commissioners at their regular meeting Monday "Beaufort will have as complete line of sewer and water system as any place of Its size could possibly need. In addi tion to the original contract for con struction, which is now. about "finish ed other work has been authorized that will carry the lines all over the town. Those present at the meet ing Monday were Mayor Bushall, Commissioners, Duncan, Ford, Hunt ley and Maxwell. The reason for doing the extra construction work is that the board found that the original contract will be done for about $18,000 less than it was first thought the cost would be. This Amount left over from the original estimate .will be nsed to put the lines in localities that otherwise would not have them. In addition to laying the new lines extensive im provement will be done at the pow er house. "s. ; Theioard is attempting to collect $3500. from a. bonding company oh the old septic tank contract and in order to take the necessary legal steps to dothis requested the J. B. McCreery Company to rnqke an es timate and bid on this work. . A motion was passed instructing Dr. C. S. Maxwell to confer with the' County Health Officer Outland In re gard to 'making certain improve ments at the colored cemetery. I The new work which the J. F. ; McCreery Company has been author ized to do is as follows: j 450 ft. 8 inch pipe on And street. 300 ft. 8 in. sewer pipe on Pine St 800 8 in. sewer pipen Pine St. "'.60O ft 6 in. pipe on Orange St. -300 ft 6 in. sewer pipe on Lire Ook'St. 300 ft. 6 in. pipe on Gordon St. 400 ft. 2 in galvanized pipe, on Live Oak and Gordon. I Install 4 hydrants, Install all sewer 'service connections, make improve menta at power house. The total cost of this new work is estimated at $18,921,20 but it is considered probable that a considerable saving can be made on this contract. WEATHER REPORT.
