NEWPORT SCHOOL CLOSES FRIDAY Commencement Exercises Be gin Friday Night And Run Through Next Wednesday' By reafcon of agreements' reached, recently between representatives of! the stockholders and bondholders of the Atlantic Beach and Atlantic Bridge corporations the future of this resort seems assured and very bright. A disastrous fire last year just in the midst of the season caused a heavy loss and caused the two companies to go into the hands of a receiver. Since that time there have been some dis agreements between the stockholders and bondholders and litigation was started which indicated that the prop erty would be in the hands of the courts for some time to come. These troubles have been smoothed out and the outlook for building up a success ful resort seems brighter than it has ever been. Two conferences have been held re cently, one in Washington and an other in Beaufort, at which the af fairs of the two corporations were SEVERAL TRIALS IN COUNTY COURT Variety of Offenses Alleged; One Conviction For Violat ing Game Law A few cases were disposed of in 'the County Court Tuesday.

The Judge Edward Chadwick Died Wednesday The sudden death yesterday morn ing of Mr. Edward Chadwick came as a great shock to his wife, Mrs. Daisy Chadwick, and to the multitude of his friends. Although he had been hav ing attacks of a choking nature, no great deal of attention had been paid to this because it was thought to be indigestion. He was taken while working in lis garden about five 'lrtfV onH wunt- infrt ii hflfflp. Dr. C. S.

It seemed from the 'evidence of Police Officer Holland I that the -two defendants went to a jtent show not long since and got in to a row with the showmen. It ap peared that Sam had a single barrel ! shotgun ctoncealed in his breeches leg and that Howaro) undertook to use the knife on the showmen. The Judge gave them thirty days each in jail to be worked in the day time on the. county roads. Harvey Willis of Salter Path was tried on the charge, of reckless driv ing and - was convicted despite the strenuous efforts of his lawyers A Baker Morris and W. C. Gorham. The evidence showed that one night in January Mr. Willis going west on Arendell street in Morehead City struck a car driven by Police Officer Salter.

Wn in strait u'eny ny giving wortniess cnecKs Commencement wlil begin at the Newport Consolidated School Friday night, May 9, and will continue thru Wednesday evening of next week, with the exception i f Saturday night. There will be such a full program of interesting events it is expected that there will be a goodly attendance during the final exercises. The commencement this year will probably be the best ever held in the Newport school. Due to the ex ceptionally large number of students that are taking part in the program this year and the fact that the senior class day exercises will take the form of a play written by, the seniors them selves, it is thought that the compo site program will be interesting to those who take advantage of the op portunity of attending these exercis- cises. f ollowing the announcement that the seniors would present a plq y written by themselves, many inquiries were made and numerous ones asked for information concerning the sort of production that would be given. Although it was comparatively late before the senior class decided to write their play, it will doubtless prove interesting to play-goers. "Miss Cherryblossom" an operetta with its setting laid in old Japan, will be given Friday night by a cast of sixty characters that portray various roles of Japanese geisha girls, offic ials, and the business life of Japan. The baccalaureate sermon will be preached Sunday night by the Rev A. J. Hobbs, pastor of the Centenary M. E. Church, New Bern. Mr. Hobbs is an alumnus of Duke, Emory and Yale Universities and is recognized as one of the strongest preachers of the younger gentration in the con ference. A musical recital will be given Monday night, May 12, by the music class conducted by Miss Comptoil. ne unusual number will be given during this recital, when four people! play the same piece simultaneously on two different pianos. Tuesday night the senior play will be staged by the members of the raduating class. Although this will be somewhat like the old class day exercises, it will have a phasing difference of originality. Dr. Carl C. Taylor, Dean of the Graduate School of State College will deliver the literary address, after which the "diplomas will be awarded. Doctor Taylor is the author of a number of books dealing with socio logy and is conceded to be an author ity on rural sociology. He is a mem ber of several national professional rganizations Greek letter fraterni ties and taught in the best known colleges in the country. Eleven girls and three boys, mak ing a total of fourteen, compose the graduating class, which is the largest ever graduated from the Newport school.

He was well-known and liked I them. by every one who knew him; he was always jolly and had a friendly word for those he met on the street. For several years during the Demo cratic administration he was employ ed on the Carteret County roads. For sometime before he died he did not have vany regular employment, but worked consistently in his gar den and about his home. He had one of the best looking lawns in town, and several years ago won the Com munity Club prize for the best-kept yard in the community.

The CAR DRIVEN INTO POLE RESULTS IN ONE INJURED Miss Dorothy Congleton suffered several minor cuts and bruises as the result of the Chevrolet sedan owned by Mr. Willie Lewis being driven in an electric light pole by his sister Miss Hilma, an inexperienced driver, She was driving the car up Turner Street on the way home with Otis Mades, Atlas Glover and Dorothy Congleton riding in the back seat and Willie Lewis standing on the running board.

S. Maxwell. The spark that instigat ed this confusion and indecision was the request for a ten dollar per month raise made by Robert Smtih, for him self and Tom Noe, members of the street-cleaning force. Smith said that he received fifty-five dollars a month when J. J. Whitehurst was street supervisor, and that when Mr, Whitehurst was released and Chief of Police W. R. Longest reinlisted his services no mention of the amount of salary was made. Street cleaner's salary had been cut to fifty dollars by the board, without the knowledge of Messrs. Smith or Noe. This was responsible for the leng thy discussion that waxed hot in sev eral instances. Mayor Chadwick and several of the commissioners were of the opinion that as the salaries of the street force, and of the night police man, were cut and the street super visor dispensed with at the same meeting, that if they should raise the members of the street force's salary ten dollars they would naturally have to raise the salary of the night police man and reinstate J. J. Whitehurst as street supervisor or subject them selves to searching criticism. They were afraid that the public would think this a political move and that it was fair that they should not raise any unless they could raise all and reinstate the street supervisor. Commissioner Chaplain said that Noe and Smith are good workers and well-versed in the routine of street cleaning and that he thought fifty dollars an insufficient salary.

Chase announce their adoption of Carl Griggs, of, Winston- Salem, as their son. Formal legal proceedings were completed today before the clerk of court of Forsyth county ratifying the adoption and providing that Mr. Griggs should as sume the name of Carl Carter Chase. The newly adopted son of Dr. and Mrs. Chase is 17 years of age, and a sophomore in the University of North Carolina. He is a member of the Sigma Phi Sigma fraternity. He pre pared for college at St. Paul's school, Beaufort, and at the Madison high school.

Dr. and Mrs. Chase have one daughter, Eliz abeth, a student at St.-Mary's school. nLive Oak cemetery will be spic and span after the present and po tential Police . Court subjects get through with their Spring clean-uj) which will be instigated shortly, re flected Mayor C. T. Chadwick in Po lice Court Friday afternoon when he tried an all-colored docket. It seem ed as if the week before the con vening of the court that a number of fracases occurred among the dusky population. Admitting her guilt of fighting on the twenty-ninth of April, Mary De bix, a recurring offender, was fined five dollars and cost, or ten days cleaning up the necropolis, or ten days in jail. She aided in the annual clean-up last year. Irene Debix, sister of Mary, was similarly charged due to the fact that it was her first time up, she was on ly assesed a fine of two-fifty and cost or ten days cleaning up the cemetery. Fighting was also the weakness of Corney Chadwick. He admitted the unbecoming act and received the us ual first-time-up sentence of two - fifty and cost or his assistance will be requested in the manual labor de partment of the Spring cleaning. The Florida Blossoms Show that wes here on the night of the twenty' sixth of April seemed to be the jinx to Sam and Howard Rhodes, accord ing to what they were up in court for. Sam was charged with carry ing a concealed weapon, namely a shot gun transported in his trouser leg, and Howard tried to get fresh with a showman with another con cealed instrument, a butcher knife of a frightful size. Sam grudgingly admitted that he had the gun at the show, but Howard consistantly denied possession of the knife. Mayor Chadwick sent them both over to tell their tale of woe to the judge of the Recorder's Court, Sam under a fifty dollar bond, and Howard will con tinue serving his present sentence at the county home. The cases of Beverly Jones and Thomas Battle were continued until the next session. Spring menhaden have been caught this week in comparatively large quan tities by several of the local fishing boats. These fish are around six or eight inches long and are what is term ed "Spring fish." The Lancaster caught two hundred and ninety-two thousand Tuesday and two hundred and sixty-two Wednesday. Capt. Buck Parkin is in command of this boat. Capt. Holloway Mason and the crew of the Elizabeth were rewarded yesterday with a catch of a hundred and twenty-five thousand. Capt. Ned Lewis, skipper of the Edwards, did not have such a favorable trip. He caught forty-two thousand yes terday and had about a hundred and twenty-five thousand in his seine a long side of the boat when the mast broke and fell. No one was injured but the fish had to be turned out of the seine. The crabbing season is virtually closed now, although one or two deal ers are still buying the larger peal ers at Harker's Island and Marshall berg. During the next week or ten days the pealers on hand will be shedded out and shipped, but that will soon end. Capt. John A. Nel son, Fisheries Commissioner, said that although he did not have the figures on the season yet that he was sure that it was the poorest one experience by the crabbers during the past sev eral years. Fewer crabs have been caught this Spring than of late years. The larger pealers are now bringing from three to four cents a piece. The Board of County Commission ers took steps Monday at their regu lar meeting to institute a suit against former County Attorney Luther Hamilton for the purpose of demand ing an accounting from him for cer tain tax certificates which he handled while in the employ of the county. Members present were C. H. Bush- all, S. D. Edwards, Norman Gaskill. The complaint in the suit against Mr. Hamilton bears the signatures of attorneys E. W. Hill, W. B. R. Guion, McLendon and Hedrick representing Carteret county. It alleges that the defendant handled some $50,000 worth of tax delinquent certificates, that he has "failed and refuses to render his final, full, true and cor rect settlement with said county of Carteret upon said tax certificates, and still refuses to file said final set tlement and make final settlement with the county of Carteret." It alleges that he openly refused at a meeting of the board to give the de tails asked for. It prays the court to require the defendant to forth with file with the Clerk of the Court a full detailed account and that a BAPTIST PASTORS CONFERENCE The Baptist Pastors Conference of the Atlantic Association will hold its regular monthly meeting at Beaufort Baptist church Monday, May 12th at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. D. B.Tritt, Rev. J. L. Hodges, Rev. V. L.1 Andrews and Dr. Oscar Haywood are the speakers for the conference. TIDE TABLE Information at, to the tides at Beaufort is given in this col umn.

A resolution was adopted to have the complaint properly filed. The matter of advertising delin quent taxpayers during the month of May was brought up and discussed. C. M. Johnson of the State County Advisory Commission was present and gave the board the benefit of his views. As a restraining order to stop the advertising has been served on sheriff Davis and the board Mr. Johnson said nothing could be done by the board until the injunction has been dissolved. The injunction was obtained Saturday by attorney J. F. Duncan on behalf of C. Z. Chappell of Beaufort. It'alleges that person- - ttl prujjeny suuuiu ue icvlcu uir. aim ' exhausted before real estate is sold, and various other things. The mat ter will come up for a hearing be fore Judge G. V. Cowper in .Super ior Court in New Bern next week. It is thought that the injunction will be dissolved and the advertising will take place in June. Jos. F. Willis of Harkers Island came before the board and asked to be relieved of his taxes. Mr. Willis is nearly blind and has a wife and six children. Action was deferred on the request until July 1. Sheriff Davis made his report as to delinquent taxes. The same was ordered filed. A resolution was adopted in regard to schedule B. taxes, (license taxes) which authorized and requested the sheriff to proceed to collect these taxes. The County Auditor's report was read and ordered filed. A resolution was adopted which agrees to pay the County Attorney 12 1-2 per cent for collecting back taxes for several years past.
