As the Morehead City fligh School uses the building it was not possible to secuie the auditorium and so the farmers met down stairs in the hall which answered the purpose very well. There was a good attendance of farmers and others. The meeting started at 10 o'clock with the introduction by County Agent Overstreet of District Agent E. W. Gaither of Wilmington who acted as chairman. After some pre liminary remarks as to potato pro ' duction, diversification and so on Mr. Gaither introduced the first speaker, Mr. A. E. Mercker of the Extension Service of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. He is the secretary of what is known as the "Early Potato Committee.", Mr. Mercker's speech illustrated -by some very striking charts, gave the audience a great deal of information, about the acreage, production and prices of the Irish po tato crop. In 1928-. he said the acreage was greatly increased with the result that the bottom dropped out of the market and growers lost a great deal of money. He advised growers not to increase their acreage in 1930". If the crop in the United States is about the same as it was this year the outlook is good for fair prices next spring. Mr. John Wallace, who represents a cooperative association in the Nor folk section, made a short and clear cut speech. He said reduced acre age in potatoes means better prices and a large increase in acreage means ruin. Mr. G. S. Ralston of the east ern shore of Virginia and connect ed with a produce association that has been in business for 30 years spoke next. He said his concern shipped potatoes this year to 616 cities and handled 14,000 cars. He said the potato growers must stabilize their acreage and must deal fairly with each other. Mr. Wells A. Sherma.., who is with the Bureau of Agricultural Econom ic was the last speaker. He has been in the service 34 years. Mr. Sherman has been to California several times and told how they did things. He said their chief advan tage in the West was that they had low priced Mexican labor and that California being a very large state, equal in size to several eastern states could get unity of effort. He wants the states on the Atlantic seaboard to get together and try to cure their troubles. He like the other speak ers stressed the importance of keep ing the potato acreage within reas onable bounds. Just before the meeting adjourned Mr. Overstreet announced that a meet ing of the County Farm Board would be held before very long and that the matter of forming a farmers' coop erative association would be taken under consideration. He stated that there is considerable sentiment in the county for some sort of organiza tion. Every time the Germans bob up at a reprations conference they take the attitude that the do not care who won the war as long us the allies pay the bill. Indianapolis .ews.

MOREHEAD CITY MAN ASSAULTED James Davis Beaten And Rob bed While On Way Heme From Reidsville Greensboro, Sept. 18 James Dav is carpenter, who has been working at Reidsville, was beaten into uncon sciousness, robbed of $15 and thrown out of the automobile in which he was riding by two unknown men be tween Reidsyijle and Greensboro Monday afternoon. He : staggered into the Rankin school about 3 o'clock and asked the principal, H. G. Waters, to call officers. Mr. Waters called Sheriff D. B. Stafford's office and M. D. Caffey went to the school and took the wounded man to the courthouse. Davis told officers that he was out of work in Reidsville and that he found two other men there Monday who said that they were also out of work. They agreed to go to More- head City, with Davis footing the gasoline bill. Davis says that when they had nearly reached Greensboro, the- car was turned down a side road. He asked them to let him out, which they re fused to do. He says that they told him they intended to kill him and that they both fell upon him with their fists and then threw him out of the car with some clothes and person al effects which he had with him. When he regained consciousness he found himself suffering from his bruised and lacerated face and got to the Rankin school the best way he could. Sheriff Stafford went with Davis to the scene of the crime last night and found on the Joe Phipps road just north of town the box of clothes and carpenters tools, as Davis had describ ed. Sheriff Stafford paid the injured man's bus fare back to Reidsville where he said he could find friends. His family is in Morehead City. The carpenter described his as sailants as being 45 and 35 years old respectively. The older man was said to be heavy set and the young er one tall and slim. They 'are now being sought by the Guilford officers, who are investigating the case. Sheriff Stafford was out until near ly midnight on the case and it is un derstood that some definite clues have been found as to the identity of the robbers and assailants. Davis, is not in a serious condition but has suffered a great deal of pain from the assault. RECORDER'S COURTv HAD A FEW CASES TUESDAY There was a considerable drop off in business in Recorder's Court Tues day. Only two cases were tried and several were continued. A capias was issued for J. E. Lewis and J. V. Lewis on a bad check case which has been standing for several weeks. Ike Simmons, colored, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, a glass tumbler, upon Ruth Harris was tried and also for simple assault. He was convicted of simple assault and fined $25 and the costs in both cases.

Almost criminal neglect on the part of mothers might be assigned as the cause for the death of six children less than four years of age who were killed by cars while playing in the streets. Eleven children of varying ages were killed in this way. The re port, which is compiled by the motor vehicle bureau of the State Depart ment of Revenue, showed a total of -i 19 pedestrians killed, 17 killed in col lisions with other automobiles, 2 in collisions with trains, two in collis ions with fixed objects, and 19 in non collision accidents. The State Board of Health, which compiles figures on violent deaths in the State reported 148 killed last month. This report included 4 sui- cides, 15 by conflagrations and burns, bv accidental gunshot, 5 by gun- shot of doubtful nature, 25 by acci - dental drowning. 4 by lightning, 26 homicides, 4 by railroad accidents, The last figure is not the same as that shown in the motor vehicle bureau's . gency reserve officers are subject to report, but reports of auto accident I immediate call by the War Depart deaths from different sources are of-j ment. ten slower in reaching the Board of p Health. The August renort of motor acci dents deaths brings the total killed this year to 411, or an increase of 36 this year. Statistical reports of this bureau also prove that between sexes wo men are more careful drivers than men. Allowing for a preponderance of male drivers, the difference would not be as large proportionately as is the number of male and female drivers in fatau accidents. Last month there were 67 male drivers in fatal accidents and only six women BARKER 0" :i : At present he is in a meet will come toi Morehead City School Ha CXnnA F.nrnllmfnt sic.

CANCER CLINIC IN CARTERET COUNTY Will Give Free Examinations To Persons Who Desire To Have Them During the second week of October a cancer clinic for the people of Car teret county will be held. It will be held in Beaufort or Morehead City, Week" for the whole of North Caro lina by the American Society for Cancer Control, the State Board of Health and the N. C. Medical Society. The clinic here in October will be held under the auspices of the Carter et County Medical Society. Those who are especially looking after the I matter are the Cancer Committee composed of Dr. B. F. Royall, Dr. C. S. Maxwell, Dr. H. M Bonner and the secretary of the society Dr F. E. Hyde who is also County Health Of ficer. Prior to the clinic a good deal of literature will be distributed bear ing on the subject of cancer. The examinations at the clinic will be free of chaige and it is hoped that all who have any fears that they have the disease will avail themselves of the opportunity to be examined. Phys- icians say that there are a good many people in Carteret county who have cancer and some have it in the ad vanced stage. They also say that where the disease is recognised and treated in time that it can be cured.

NO SCHOOL BOOK CHANGES WILL BE MADE IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS Raleigh, Sept. 16. No change will be made in the textbooks used in the 8 ! public schools of the State during the school year lyau-ai, as a resun oi me action of the Commission at a State Textbook meeting held in Raleigh last week. The Commission, in notifying the State Board of Education of its decision to make no change, stated that "it was the sense of all members present that they would prefer not to make any report on sugested changes now in use in the elementary schools of the State for the year 1929". The State Board of Education, at meeting held on September 10, approved the action of the Textbook Commission and passed a resolution commending the members for their attitude in this matter. .

Th August hot and fairly favorable weather held them in check to a con siderable degree. Very little top crop may be expected to mature. The Boll counts being made by some 200 reporters are proving of great value and awakening them to the real weev il effects. While this takes a few minutes time, the direct return value to the farmer himself is well worth while. HAYS have eitther made good yields or else have tried to. It has been a problem to keep down grasses this year. Those farmers wise enough to have pasture and hay crops are better off for it. With grasses grow ing voluntarily and freely, it is strange why so many farmers let their idle fields grow up in weeds where grasses and particularly leg ume hays may be grown at so little cost and yet making such good yields. With 807,000 tons in prospect, the September first condition of 86 per cent shows our best crop for several years. The SWEET POTATO crop indi cates 7,792,000 bushels or 81 per cent condition. This is below the av erage crop. The plants look good plenty of vines, but it is claimed that i ARRIVES IN THF HARROR The Enchantress, the first yacht of the fall season, arrived in the harbor Tuesday with Captain A. F.
