It was said that Mr. Mason has raised two pens of hogs on the corner of Orange and Broad Streets and that he has four porkers there now. This "warm weather and the obnoxious condition the owner permits the pen to get in results in t-n almost unbear able odor and is detrimental to the health of the community, said Mr. Williams.

BIRTH OF SON Born to Mr. and Mrs. Ira Willis of Harkers Island, Friday, July 4, a son. At the semi-annual meeting of the North Carolina Board of Conserva tion and Development in Morehead City Tuesday morning, Col. J. W. Harrelson, director of that gromp, ad dressed the gathering ot several hun dred fishermen on the need of getting together and organizing he industry so that it willp roduce more food stuff. At present, he said, this state is producing about two million dol lars worth annually, but by organiz ing and extending the industry, North Carolina fishermen will be able to in crease their output from twenty to thirty millions. If the fishermen desire to start such an organization, they can begin in a very modest way, he said, and as the industry increases the organiza tion can be increased. Of course there will have to be restrictions so that the already decreasing supplies of certain kinds of fish, particularly white shad; maybe increase when these are built back up again, these restrictions will become more lenient, is the opinion of Colonel Harrelson. The director also urged "the fissher- men to begin taking up the oyster bottoms that are now available all along the coast, and emphasized the fact that this state is second on the Atlantic 'seaboard in amount of acres of oyster bottoms and the prospects are better here than in any other commonwealth. Peoplef rom all over the Old North State, especially .throughout the tide water faction, were in attendance at this meeting. The fishermen-hunters' dispute of last winter came up at this meeting and it wis deferred until the meet ing in November in hones that it will cither die out or be settled by Capt. John A.

Munns I and J. A. Vaehc were both away. ? Several hundreds of people attend ed the funeral and upwards of a hun dred cars were in the procession. The large number of beautiful floral trib utes attested to the esteem with which Dr. Whitehurst was held, hereabouts. Many people from out of town, es pecially in the eastern part of the county in the vicinity of Marshall berg, were in the concourse. Capt. Pugh, who was in charge of IFort Macon Station when Dr. Whitehurst's father was in the service there, and also his daughter were among those who attended. Dr. Whitehurst attended St. Paul's School here and when yet a youth of fifteen years in the fall of 1911,, en tered Wake Forest College At the end of four years he was graduated from that institution with the two degrees of B. Sc. and M. A. There he was known for his scholarship and for athletic endeavors, (especially as a member of the varsity basket ball squad. The following two years were spent at the Virginia Medical Col lege in Richmond. From there he was graduated in 1927 with the M. D. degree and served his interneship at the Memorial Hospital in that city. For a short while thereafter he prac ticed at Page, West Virginia. While visiting his parents here in 1918 he enlisted in the army and served for eighteen month in New York City as a naval physician.

Following a custom established many years ago, the 120th Infantry Regiment of the North Carolina Na tional Guard began its annual two weeks of encampment at Camp Glenn Monday morning. Although more soldiers have been there before when the 30th Division was there with the Regiment, there are more encamped there this summer than any Tecent year. V nereas mere were v 1 1 in training there in 1929, 1,048 are now going through the daily routine of camp life there. Already many of these soldiers can he -ecn about the streets of both Beaufort and Morehead City. Many of them came down here with their cars and they are observed riding hither and yon about the strerts and roads and to seaside points of inter est. A goodly number of the officers' wives and some of the subordinates' wives came down to te near tn'ir husbands during the period of en campment. These soldiers and then wives, aggregating somewhere around twelve hundred, spend right much money in the two weeks they are here at gas stations, cool drink stands, beaches, hotels and other places; consequently the county is helped monetarily by their presence. Col. Don E. Scott, who is the com manding officer of the regiment, ad dressed the officers of the camp Sun day afternoon on the ideals and pur pose of spending a fortnight in camp, and also on the psycology of handl ing men under their charge. He told ithem to give the troopers the maxi 'jnum amount of training, but cau tioned them not to make it too stren uous so that the men would be phys ically fit to enjoy the pleasures that can be had at the sea shore. He al so welcomed the small boys as mas cots and visitors there being a large number of these with the regiment this time. The soldier trains came down Sun day and brought the troops with them and by late that afternoon all of the tents and other equipment was put in shape ready for the next two weeks. One of these trains came from as far west as Waynesville. With these three troup trains came 1,048 potential boosters of Carteret County, and in all likelihood these troopers will return at the end of two weeks to their various places of residence with the contented feeling of having spent fourteen joyous days at the sea shore. They are the ones that will advertise this section, for folks who enjoy trips cannot keep from telling their neighbors about the joys of Carteret County, par ticularly Beaufort and Morehead City. This is one of the best means of keeping this section on the active map of the Old North State. There was very little interest man ifested last Saturday over the sec ond primary compared with the ve hemence of the first primary a month ago. In the firit election the fervor was chiefly over the democratic nom ination for the Unif-d States Sen ate, and with the elimination of this the last flection took on the signifi cance of the. calm after the storm. There were two candidates from each party J. Raymond Ball, of Harlowe, and Elbert M. Chadwick, of Gloucester, contended for the of fice of thes herilT; Henry O. Piner, of Williston, and Eric Gaskill, (of Sea Level, fought out the battle for the office of register of deeds. Mr. Chadwick won the nomination for sheriff with a majority of 120, 955 votes being cast for him and 835 for Mr. Ball. Mr. Gaskill received a ma jority of 38 votes or a total poll of 299 over the 261 of Mr. Piner. Both the majorities of Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Gaskill were very small compar ed with the number of electors who went to the polls last Saturday. The Republicans cast 560 votes in the second primary and the Democrats 1790. Both of these parties were very closely divided on these candi dates. The interest lacking in this second primary election will very likely be made up in the November election. VERY SIMILAR CASES IN COURT White Man And Negro Get Identical Sentences On Liquor Charges CLASS OF '25 HELD MEETING LAST WEEK SCHOOL QUESTION STILL UNSETTLED Matter Seems To Be Now In Hands of County School Board Lorenza Guthrie Died . Last Thursday Night Five years ago when the class of High School the members decided to hold a reunion on the Fourth of July 1930. Numerous changes have tak en place in the intervening five years so that only eight of the members were able to attend thse lass meet- The death of Lorenza Guthrie, popularly known as "Ren." came as a shock to his family and his many friends. For the past three years he has been employed by the Waters Brothers and has recently worked here in Beaufort. He was only sick one week before he died. Although he and his family knew that he was suffering from pyorrhea, they did not think his condition serious. But he was taken with the advanced stages of the formidable disease and was able to hold his own but a few days. Death occurred at the Morehead City hospital late the night of the third of July. Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased on Ced ar street at four-thirty o'clock on The regular monthly meeting of the County Board of Education took place in the office of County Super intendent J. H.-Workman, Monday. Messrs . W. H. Taylor, Dennisi Mason and C. V. Webb were all present. The board discussed various mat ters relating to the school work and the program for next year. One month's salary is still due the teachers on last year's work and it is hoped by the board that this can be settled very soon. The resignation of M. Leslie Davis from the Beaufort board of trustees was received .and accept ed. J. C. Graham was elected to fill the vacaency The members of the board and Superintendent Workman held a conference with the Board of Commissioners relative to the Wel fare Department. In the afternoon the Board of Ed ucation met in the county court room and heard a delegation of rural cit izens from the Beaufort school dis trict present their views on the school question. The vegatious question of the ninth month of school which has been in controversy for two years or more was discussed. Superinten dent Workman invited those present to state their opinions on the matter and C. T. Eubanks, Raymond Ball and one 0 rtwo others spoke briefly. They said they would like for their chil dren to attend the Beaufort school if possible but if this could not be done they would go somewhere else and intimated that if they did this they would carry their business to the same place. This statement received considerable applause. It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that the best thing to do was to leave the mat ter in the hands of the Board of Ed ucation. There are about 220 of the rural children and about 50 of these are High School pupils. There was considerable similarity in the trial of two defendants in Re corder's Court Tuesday. They were both tried for possessing liquor, both lived in Morehead City, both were convicted and got the same sort of sentence. One was a Negro and the other a white man. George Perry, colored paving worker of Morehead City was charg ed with the possession of liquor for the purpose of sale. The charge was an old one, the alleged offense having occurred March 28. He was defend ed by Attorney Alvah Hamilton of Morehead City. Testimony given by Police Officers James Willis, Seth Hughes and Iredell Salter was that they raided Perry s home and prem ises and found about four gallons of liquor hidden in an outhouse. Perry went on the stand denied ownership of the liquor or any knowledge of it whatever. His em ployer E. S. Waters testified that the man had been working for him for about six years and that he was very reliable and good worker. The of ficers said that he had never given them any trouble before. Judge Hill convifted him and gave him three months on the roads, prayer fjjr judgment continued for 12 months and capias not to issue if defendant pays a fine of $50 and cost and does not violate any of the State's crimi nal laws during the next year. Frank Buck, of Morehead City, was convicted of having more than five gallons of liquor in his posses sion for purpose of sale and as stat ed above got the same sentence as Perry. He had no attorney and de nied his guilt of the charge. The tes timony of officers was that they raid ed the old bowling alley building a eross from the Atlantic Hotel and in a room there found a considerable quantiy of whiskey and some empty , bottles. Buck had rented the place about two weeks ago for the pur pose of storing cars. The officers, said that this was Buck's first offense and for that reason and also that there was no direct evidence of sale Judge Hill said he was inclined to be somewhat lenient with him. If the fine and costs are not paid he will have to serve' his sentence on the roads. Sitting as a committing magistrate the court tried Charles Crouse on the charge of getting money under false pretense and fraud. The alle gation grew out of a contract which Crouse had with R. N. Dickinson of Beaufort to do some painting for him. Judge Hill decided that there was sufficient evidence to show probable cause and he bound the defendant over to Superior Court under a $150 bond. Court adjourned to meet nsxt Tuesday at 9:30 o'clock.
