Waters' Aeroplane
Meets Misfortune
E. S. Waters of this community
was somewhat thwarted yesterday in
his plans when the aeroplane he pur
chased last Friday caught in a barb-

al bruises and a minor cut or two.
Messrs. Waters and Duncan, in com
pany with a pilot, were attempting
to get the plane in the air so that
they could fly to Greensboro when
the accident oecured. The improvis
ed flying field, which is situated a-
bout half a mile out of the city lim
its, has recently been plowed up.
Rains yesterday morning made it
rather sticky and the pilot was unable
to clear the barbed wire fence. The
bottom part of the tail caught in the
wire and caused it to turn over on
some of the Gibbs Brothers sweet po
tatoes. Mr. Waters bought the Comman

WATERMELO'S NOW
BEING HARVESTED
Large Crop of Melons and
Fifty Acres of "Early Sweets"
In Process of Market
ing The famous Bogue Sound water
melons are now being shipped to
northern markets. Tuesday five
cars left for New York City; Wed
nesday eight carloads were ship
ped to the same place; and Wednes
day afternoon nine other cars were
being loaded for immediate ship-
ment.
Most of these shipments
have been made up at Mansfield so
far, but a goodly number of melons
have been taken from the Sound a-
rea during the past ten days or two
weeks by trucks which come down
from up-State for the luscious fruit
that is making Bogue Sound renown
ed for their production.
Professional loaders have come to
Carteret County from Florida for the
purpose of scientifically loading and
preserving the melons so that they
will reach the marts of trade in the
very best condition possible. Straw
is spread liberally upon the floors of
the cars and the melons are placed
closely thereon in a regular fash
ion so that they will not roll when
the cars start moving.
Upon each melon is stamped in yel
low: "Bogue Sound Watermelons

NUMBER 27
PRISONER MAKES
FOURTH ESCAPE
Notorious Otto Wood Out A
gain; Has Only One Hand
And Is Also Lame
Raleigh, July 11 Otto Wood has
done it again.
North Carolina's most widely
known prisoner made his fourth es
cape from central prison here yester
day afternoon. Today he was sought
throughout the country. All prison
officials knew of his break was that
he left sometime between "noon and
isix o'clock."
The escape blasted an "experiment
dn humanities" of Governor O. Max
Gardner whose order had terminated
a period of 26 months in solitary con
finement for Wood, and who subse
quently made him an honor grade
prisoner.
The fugitive was serving a term
of from 22 1-2 to 30 years for the
murder of a Greensboro pawnbrok
er begun in 1923. Wood once es
caped from Ohio state penitentiary
.and is wanted by Virginia and Ten
nessee after completion of his term
here.
The Wilkes county prisoner was
made- an assistant in the canteen and
in the zoo. Minus his left hand and
With a limp because of a deformed
left foot, the result of a railroad ac
cident when he was a flagman, Wood
was a lamiliar hgure in the prison
(grounds.
Otto's first escape was in 1924
when with a pistol he forced a guard
to drive him through the front gate.
He was gone but two days. The next
break was a year and a half later
when he hid in a section of pipe that
was placed on a freight train. He
was at liberty two weeks.
The third get-away and by that
time Wood's reputation as a prison
breaker was firmly established was
made by walking through the back
gate when it was left unlocked. He
was not apprehended for three
months. Then for 26 months he was
in "solitary."
When made an honor prisoner
Wood told Governor Gardner, " I
won't offer you my word of honor,
because that wouldn't be much: But
you can b sure of one thing, I'll
never run away as long as you are
governor.
Governor Gardner said of Wood's
latest escape: "I do not regret re
leasing him from solitary confine
ment but I do regret his betrayal of
my trust in trying to treat him as
humanely as other prisoners at state's
prison are treated."
