Sams, specialists in '(beekeeping for the Agricultural Ex- Ci'fhatf t sections of the State there are untold myriads of flowerg from which l&ie bees may gather nectar. At the presept time 6nly a very small percent of this nectar is saved , for human use. Even the honey. - bee, which is our only means of ob taining the nectar, consumes the larg er part of what it gathers for its own food. It is only through a knowl edge of the behavior of bees and by providing suitable environments that enable us to get any honey over the needs of, the colony. Despite this fact, Mr. Sams reports that he is constantly receiving excell ent reports of good profits made for the small amount of time necessary for the care of a few colonies of bees, A an example of this, he gives the ease of an apiary of sixty colonies located i nthe mountains which yield ed 1760.00 cash for honey already sold this season.

MOREHEAD CITY WILL pdorasi y GET ASSEMBLY At this writing the chances for Morehead City', getting the Baptist Seaside. Assembly seems to be very favorable. At any, rate the com mittee which has the matter in charge will recommend that the As- ' sembly shall be located. in or near that city. It appears that Wilming fton will make a fight on the conven. tion floor for the Assembly but as the Baptists have met at Wrights. .ville Beach for "several , years and ; were not well pleased with the place Y as sits foritbelr purposes it Is more than likely that the -Assembly Ywill come to Morehead City.

HARRY A DAY. . j GERMANY' RAPIDLY REPiACING I HER MERCHANT; MARINE AND RECAINJNG OCEAN COMMERCE WASHINGTON- One of the most important pluses of after-war m- construction is the rapid rehabilita. tion German merchant marine. When the European war broke out Germany was second in the world in her merchant marine and amount of maritime commerce tonnage. During the war German commerce was driven from the high seas and a very large percentage of her mer chant marine vessels were destroyed. Under the terms of the armistice, supplemented by the terms of the Versailles treaty, Germany was de prived of what merchant vessels she still preserved in her ports by. being compelled to replace the merchant shipping of Great Britain and other countries which she had destroyed. Thig replacement was effected first by turning over all of her existing merchant shipping iand committing herself to build new merchant ves-j selg for her former enemies until this replacement had been completed Germany has done all of this and, in addition, has gone a long way in replacing her own merchant ship. ping. She now has over 2,000,000 tons of ocean-going merchant vessels She hag spent over $180,000,000 du ring the last four years for merchant vessel construction and merchant marine subsidies. According to re cent cables from Germany, many of he ports are approaching the level of their pre-war activities.

T. Patterson of New Bern. Major Koontz of Wilmington and Colonel Jadwyn is head of the dis trict of which the waters of eastern Carolina are a part arid he is mak ing a trip for the purpose of seeing what conditions are and to offer sug gestions as to needed improvements, Beginning early in 1 January con giderable work will be done in and around Beaufort harbor. The dredge Croatan will be' brought here and will do some work on the Taylor's Creek channel with a view of making it five feet at low water which the spee ifications call for. The Chamber of Commerce ha. asked for a .even foot channel there and if the appropria tion can be secured from Congress this will be done at some later date, A temporary bulkhead ennecting Town Marsh with Bird shoal about 200 yards will be constructed at an early date for the purpose of seeing whether such a bulkhead will Te of advantage in collecting sand there or not If this proves a success a rock structure will be put there later. From conversation with the engineers the News understands that the rock bulkhead beginning at Fort Macon channel will: be made higher at an early date. Other work will be done' is. that of deepening Gallant's chan nel and also removing a shoal near the foot of Front street. LOCCG1NC CREW. ' Y KILLTHREE BEARS Some times people do not get bears when they are hunting for them and sometimes they do, bit occasionally in Carteret county . people who are not hunting bears at all gel them. This happened Tuesday ! morning when the crewof the .Carteret Lum. ber Company's logging tram got three at one haul. Men on the tram naw an old bear and two large cubs ' 1 A f I up a gum tree near me iracn nu promptly stopped the- train and sur. rounded the big"- game. While some stood guard and kept the an imals up the tree others went off after guns. A few rounds of buck shot were sufficient to kill the bears and they were promptly brought to the ground. The largest one was brought in to Beaufort and shown to many interested spectators. Those who helped kill the bear9 were L. Cotton, Walter Allen and Guy Guy Carraway. In the forests belonging to the Carteret . Lumber Company, as well as elsewhere, there is apparently a good deal of game. Bear and deer tracks .and those of other wild an imals are seen frequently. Wild turkeys are occasionally seen also, but are not,s plentiful now as they were in former years. . FLU PREVALENT AGAIN. Something very closely resembling flu epidemic ijeem. t0 have struck Beaufort. For a month or. more there have been cases of grip or influensa and during the last week or so there 'have been quite a num ber of them. If the disease is in fluenza it seem. t0 be a mild form. Nobody has died from the disease and the patients are usually out in two or three days after they are tak en sick; in fact some of them do not g0 tr bed at all.

That is to say shall Beaufort and Morehead City be connected by a bridge built by the State Highway Commision and one highway be built to the two towns instead of the two pronged ones now proposed? From informa tion reaching the Beaufort News this question is being discussed very ser. iously in various parts of the county at the present time. v , The Highway Commission has ad vertised for bids for grading the road from the Craven line to Beaufort and the contract is to be awarded today. The bidding today is not foH any hard surface work but is only to get the road in shape for the con. crete or whatever material .may be used on the road. In case the High way Commission should decide ' to build a bridge, route 10 of the Cen tral Highway as it. is generally known, would come" to Beaufort via Newport and Morehead City instead of the Harlowe section. Those who Indicate the ' bridge connecting the two cities say they have no objection to the county com. missioners using the $150,000 bond money now in the banks on a road to the Harlowe section. They say this amount will build a good road out there and if the State will build the bridge the county ould have a good road running out from Beaufort and the bridge to boot. The News understands that peti tions have been ' circulated 'around Newport, Morehead City and" else where advocating the bridge nd, that the people in the western, part lof the county and also some in the 'east are strong for the bridge .prop. ositieo. la Beaufort there ii aomt eeniment for the bridge and a. good deaf; against it. Those who oppose it say that if the bridge should be built the road would not be con. strutted and that they would rather have the road than the bridge. All admit that the bridge .would be a good thing but say that Beaufort cannot afford to give up a good road to ..the Harlowe section in order to get, the bridge. Indicatins are that there will be a considerable contest oyer the matter before it is settled. -REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
