Youth Gives His Life To Save His Brother Last Thursday afternoon, return ing from a fishing trip, Mr. ""Lloyd Guthrie of Stacy was drowned while saving the life of his little six year old brother. , From what the News has been able to learn, the little fel low was in the bow of the boat with Loyd who was busy at work. Sud denly the little fellow fell overboard, and Loyd ran forward, shut off the engine, calling to his mates what had happened, and jumped overboard to go to his brother. The child had gone down, but Loyd dived for him, found him and held him up until the boat came alongside, when both went down. One of the crew dived for the two, found the child, but could not find the older 'brother. Not until they used their nets did they find the body of Loyd. All efforts at resus citation failed. The accident hap pened at Thorofare Bay, near Atlan- tic, largely attended.

NEARLY ONE THIRD WERE VIOLATIONS RALEIGH, Aug. 24 Almost one third of the 16,810 criminal cases dis posed of in North Carolina Superior courts during the fall terms of 1928 and spring trems of 1929 were for violation of laws concerning intox icating liquors. The report of the clerks of Super ior .courts of the state, made avail able today in the office of Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt, showed that 5,307 liquor law violations al most doubled the next highest total, larceny and receiving stolen goods, which totaled 2,874. There were 11- Many Cases Continued In Recorder's Court It required most of the day to dis pose of the various matters that were considered in Recorder's court Tues day. Several cases were continued until next week's session. A case that excited considerable interest was that in which Misses Ma mie Simpson, Madge Salter and Ger trude Salter were tried on the double charge of assault and trespass Attorney C. R. Wheatly appeared for the defendants. The court decided that Mamie Simpson and Gertrude Salter were not guilty and that Madge Salter, being under sixteen years old, should be remanded to the Juvenile Court. Charles V. Stevens charged with giving worthless checks was acquit ted of the charge. Harry Bell, a young man from Newport, was tried on the charge of driving a car while under the influ ence of liquor. Mayor Shull of New port, Chief of Police Murdock and Will Jone stestified that he drove his car in a wabbling manner on the streets and appeared to be somewhat intoxicated. Attorney. Wheatly in troduced the defendant and two other witnesses who testified that he was not drunk. He said the car wabbled because ti was old and difficult to steer. Judge Hill decided that the defendant was guilty. Prayer for judgment was continued and Bell was required to pay the costs. Cases continued were Aleck Tay lor, violating prohibition law, Charles Howland assault with a deadly weap on, F. G. Davis, violating prohibition law, J. E. Lewis bad check charge, Roy Dickinson not stopping car af ter accident when property was in jured, Aaron George, colored of Morehead City was tried for having whiskey in his possession. His attor ney Luther Hamilton tried to get him acquitted as there were , some extenuating circumstances. The court held the matter open for further con sideration. I Deer Hunters Fined For Violating Law Bob Jones, Franklin Jones, and Jno. Mann a'.l of the neighborhood of what is known as the Forks of Newport near the Craven county line would probably bring a fine of $200. zThere were five others of that sec tion that are reported to be violating the game laws whom the wardens came very near getting. Assistant State Game Warden Nicoli has made j up his mind to make an intensive drive with the wardens of this sec tion to break up hunting deer and other game out of season, and has in- Utructed all wardens of his district to see that the heaviest penalty is im posed on all violations whom they ar rest. The wardens of the surround ing counties will be ordered to band together and break up this unlawful hunting. Squirrel Hunters will take notice that season opens October 15.

HIGH SCHOOLS GROWING FAST Large Increase. In Number Of Pupils In Last Five Years. Buncombe Leads (State Superintendent) Public Instruction Raleigh, Aug. 26 Approximately 110,000 boys and girls were enrolled in the public high school of the State, during the session just closed. It was learned today at the office of the State Superintendent of Public instruction from a summary of the figures taken from the reports of these high schools. A total of 96,739, or 88 per cent of the 109, 975, were white boys and girls. The remaining 13,236 were Negro pupils, 3,779 in rural schools and 9,457 in city schools. More than 61,000 the white children attended rural high schools, and over 35,000 attended city schools. Five years ago, 1923-24, there were only 32,415 rural boys and girls and 26,369 city children, a total of 89 per cent in number of rural boys and girls taking advantage of the opportunity of a high school education indicates, according to school authorities, the holding power of the recently erected rural high schools. "Formerly", they say, "most rural boys and girls left the elementary school provided for them without seeking the advantages of a high school education, whereas now these same rural boys and girls in increasing numbers go on to the high schools provided for them." This past year, there were 35,410 white children in the eight grade, 26,33 in the ninth grade, 19,859 in the tenth grade, and 15,137 in the eleventh grade - total of 96,739, or nearly 7,000 more than in 1927-28.' Buncombe County leads the State in having the largest number of rural white boys and girls, 2,304, enrolled in public high schools. More than one-fourth of the rural white high school enrollment is in the following eleven counties: Buncombe, 2,394, Mecklenburg, 1,635; Johnston," 1,599; Union, 1,508; Guilford, 1,476; Rutherford 1,451; Robeson, 1,308; Harnett, 1,159; and Forsyth, 1,131. Teachers' Conference Very Well Attended Reppresentative teachers f?om county schools met last Friday after noon with Miss Gustin, county su pervisor of schools. They decided on certain standards which they though all county schools could reach and should reach. The members of the group expressed their belief that many of the improvements made and better care of grounds, buildings and classrooms last year was largely due to the County Hon or School plan. They decided that the plan should be continued for an other year. Only a few changes were made. Those present at the meeting were: Myrtle Morris, Sealev el School; Margaret Hall, Atlantic School; Corbett Davis, Stacy School; I. W. Davis, Davis School; Josie Pig ott, Smyrna School; Nellie Lewis, Marshallberg School; Leona Jarvis, Harkers Island; Lilian Pigott, Otway School; Flora Davis, Bettie School; Lydia Willis and Margaret Pierce, Newport School; Edythe Lewis, White Oak School; and Thelma Mason, Ce dar Island school. Fourteen teachers were asked to at tend this meeting. Thirteen were present and the other teacher asked to attend was in Florida. That is an example of the professional loy alty which exists with Carteret coun ty teachers. Special examinations for promo tions will be held -at the supervisors office on next Thursday morning September 5th at nine o'clock. An error in the article la.-t week stated that the tests would be on Wednes day insead of Thursday. i SUNDAY SERVICES AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH In the absence of the pastor, who will be away in revival services the pulpit will be supplied Sunday morn ing and evening by visiting preach ers.
