HARKER'S ISLAND 'LARGE INCREASE
MAN IS BANISHED
John Jones Must Leave State;
Said He Had A "Water '
Tumor"
IN POPULATION
United States Gains Nearly
Seventeen Million Inhabi
tants '
Not many cases were tried in Re
corder's Court Tuesday but of those
tried three resulted in road sentences
for the defendants.
John Jones a rather well-known
Harkers Islander got a sentence of
tight months on the charge of having
liquor in his possession for the pur
pose of sale and also for transport
the same. George Jones a nephew
of John, who had submitted to a
charge of drunk and disorderly at a
previous session of court, was given
SO days in jail and the costs.
Witnessess against John Jones were
his brother Fayette Jone9, his nephew
George, Jim Willis, Mrs. Marge Guth
rie, Miss Irene Willis, Captain Eu
gene Yeomans, Sheriff Davis, Deputy
sheriff Gaskill,, Arthur Lewis, Carl
Willis. Several of these were charac
ter witnesses and thev save John a
rather bad reputation in so far as
whiskey was concerned. George Jones
said John gave him a bottle of liq
uor and that he had a suit case with
a half gallon in it. It was also tes
tified by Jim Willis that he saw John
with some sort of a protuberance un
der his shirt and when asked what he
had there John said it was a "water
tumor." It turned out to be a bot
tle of liquor. Attorneys Alvah Ham
ilton and W. 0. Williams appearing
for the defendant stated to the court
that the weight of evidence was too
great to combat and they therefore
offered a plea of nolo contendere,
which was accepted. Judge Hill then
gave the defendant a sentence of
eight months with the proviso that
prayer for judgment would be con
tinued and capias not issued for 48
hours, which meant that John could
either leave the State for two years
or work the county roads for eight
months.
During the progress of the trial
some excitement was . created when
Carl Willis of Barker's Island who
had just testified was taken with
some kind of attack and had to be
carried from the court room. It
seems that the young man was a sol
dier in the World WTar and was wound
ed and gassed and for some time has
been subject to attacks of this kind.
A trial of considerable interest was
that of Thos. Simpson and Lawrence
Simpson, sixteen year old twin broth
ers. The bovs who were neat in ap
pearance and good looing, plead guil
ty to the charge of stealing two pigs
from the neighbors 0. D. Warren and
P. B. Beachem. The value of the
pigs was about $10 each. Mr. War
ren got his pig back but Mr. Beach
am was not so fortunate. Judge Hill
deferred sentencing the youths until
he had more time to consider the mat
ter.
Elisha Murray, young colored man,
was given three months on the roads
for driving a car while drunk. Mark
Washington, George Turner and W.
E. Potter, all colored, who were in
the car with Murray were acquitted
of aiding and abetting him.
Harrv Hester, colored man of More
head City, was arrested a few days
ago at Plawview Beach or the BiacK
Cut" bv Deputy John Pake who found
. wtle of liauor on him. There was
nn evidence of ?ale and the reputa
tion of the defendant seemed to be
that he loves "lieker" too good to sell
any. He was fined $'0 and costs
which if he does not pay he will have
to serve 30 days.
A case against V. A. Bedsworth
charging him with issuing two Daa

Washington, Aug. 8 The nation's
Population wan offieiallv nnnnunred
today by the census bureau as 122,-
G98, 190, representing the largest nu
merical growtn since iuzu oi any de-1
cade in its history.
Census officials said completion of
this population count represented on
ly the first step of the 15th census
and that already they had begun to
huild unnn his hnsip ficmro nther to
tals ranging from an enumeration of
existing radio sets to a count of the
country s industries and farms.
The fieures announced for the 48
states and District of Columbia show
ed a gain in population of 16,967,570
persons, or 18.1 per cent since 1920.
Adding in the nation's po-ssessions,
exclusive of the Phillipines, to which
the cenusu, law does not. annlv. the
grand total was set by the censu bu
reau at 124,848,664.
Some indication of the volume of
additional fieures still to be issued bv
the bureau was given in a predic
tion by a census otiicial that when
statistics are completed on schools,
immigration, old age, the numbers
and spread of industries in each state,
together with the numbers of mines,
farms and farmers in each section.
the total will fill more than 15 close
set volumes.
This information will be issued for
each state as it is completed by cen
sus workers. Utticials indicated it
would be available much earlier than
in 1920, since the population count
was completed twice as fast as a dec
ade ago.
The nonulation issued todav was
31,282 under the figure previously
compiled from supervisors reports. It
is subject to revision by the bureau,
but no major changes are expected.
Baptist Children Have
Very Pleasant Surprise
The Primary Department of the
Beaufort Bapist Sunday School ob
serves a very interesting custom each
Sunday following the birthday of one
of its members. Last Sunday sever
al vouncsters had had birthdavs. All
of the little fellows bowed their heads I
and closed their eyes and sang a song
accompanied on the organ bp Mrs. U.
E. Swann, who is one of the teachers,
as a child who had just had a birthday
would go up and sit down in the
Birthday Chair.'
Then they would all look up to
see who it happened to be. They
did this twice and then Mrs. Swann
asked if any one knew whether an
other person had had a birthday.
' Yes. replied Miss Imogene btew-
art, another teacher.
"Are you sure?" asked Mrs. Swann.
"Yes," reaffirmed Miss Stewart.
So they all bowed their heads and
began to sing. The fortunate one
tin-toed ud to the chair and sat down.
A gasp of amazement went up when
they saw who was sitting there.
It was Miss Stewart herself!
Municipal Court Has
Number of Offenders
1
Several folks were haled into Po
lice Court Friday afternoon bemoan
ing their various offenses.
James Henry, colored youth, ad
mitted riding a bicycle on the side
walk and was fined two-fifty and
costs or ten days with the street
force.
Submitting to the accusuation of
having cursed and conducted herseii
in a disorderly fashion on the sixtn
of August, Ruth Brown, colored belle,
was sentenced to pay two-fifty and
costs in to the city s cotter or let tne
town have her services for the ensu
ing ten days.
Dave Davis, also colored, admitted
snpedinp on the fourth of August
and was fined the customary two-fif
ty and costs or ten days cleaning the
streets.
Flovd Robinson, old-time offender
who has been up four or five times
during the past year, was arraigned
hefnre the Mavor for having been
found lying dead drunk in the street
on the thfrd of August. He plead
guilty to the charge, but asked the
Mayor to be as lenient as possible
for he was unable to pay a fine and
was physically unable to work. With
in the next few days he wishes to re
enter a sanatarium for tuberculosis,
he said. Obviously he was suffering
from the white plague, for he was ex
ceptionally nervous and continued to
cough. The Mayor said that he would
defer the sentence until the next ses
sion and see whether he would be
able to get into the sanitarium. :
B. A. Phelps, charged with letting
his spotted dog run at large, was fin
ed the costs of $3.45.
Ida and Charlie Chadwick, color
ed Vinth rhare-ed with drunkeness
and disorderly conduct, and also John
Jones, white man of Harkers Island
charged with drunkenness, were alj
continued until next session

J. Harry Davis Raises
Registered Beef Cow
- J. Harrv Davis, wf Harlowe, hayras
fine looking herd of seventy-five Ab
erdeen Angus and fifteen Holstein
cows as you wish to look at. Mixed up
in the herd is a good many calves.
Some of his stock is pedigreed, and
the rest of them were raised from
these. Mr. Davis has excellent pas
ture land on both sides of the old
New Bern Road and these cows can
be seen grazing on it during the day.
He has between three and four ac
res of verv eood alfalfa, and in the
three mowings it has produced fifteen
tons of superior uality hay. Mr.
Davis will mow this again and then
let it stand until next year, when he
will nrobablv reDeat this season's
routine of mowing. He also has a
farm nearby the pasture and produc
es feed there, m addition to the al
falfa hay, for his cattle.
The house in which the Davises
live was built in 1866 by Richard
Rice, David W. Moss and Henry
Buckman. It still stands there in ex
cellent condition as a memorial to
their good workmanship. When the
house was completed one of them
wrote their names and the date ot
the construction on the bottom of one
of the norch benches and there it re
mains to this very day sixty-four
years after1 and it is quite legible,
too.
In the passing of Frank Colenda
last Saturday evening Morehead City
lost one of its best-beloved and most-
esteemed citizens. Every one in that
community knew him as a philan
thrnnist and as a lay welfare worker;
he was kind-hearted and one of the
most public-spirited men of the city.
In all of the civic enterprises he was
a force and could always find some
thing to do to make the lives of his
associates and fellow-citizens bright
er and better. Endowed with a
pleasing personality, he was able to
mix with all classes and all benefit
ted from the contact.
Mr. Colenda was born in Norfolk,
Va., forty-seven years ago of Austra
Hungarian parents. He moved with
his family to Morehead City some
fifteen years ago, but their stay there
was intermittent. They have been
livine there constantly, however, for
the past five years. In his early
life he was a drun-eist but of late
years he has been a contracting plumb
er. He died as a result of acute di
lation of the heart.
The funeral was conducted at the
M. E. Church South at two o'clock
Monday afternoon, and interment was
in the Bay View Cemetery. An ex
ceptionally large crowd attended and
ninety-six cars were in the funeral
procession. A mound of floral trib
utes bore evidence to the high esti
mation he was held by his many
friends. He was buried with both
the Junior Order and Masonic ritu
als.
Mr. Colenda was a member of the
following fraternal organizations:
Charitable Brotherhood, Junior Order
of United American Mechanics, Ma
sons, and Odd Fellows.
Aithniicrh there hasn't been any
ballyhoo about the local troup of Boy
Scouts, which is now composed ui
eighteen members, the boys have not
fallen asleep on their job, judging
from the progress they have been
making of late in Scoutdom. Eight
of the members have passed from

manv fruit trees, flowers, and other
sources of nectar which make the pro
duction of such a large amount oi
honey a possibility.
For vears Mr. Becton has been
keeping bees, just the ordinary va
riety of black bees. He says that
this specie of the insect is hardier
and comes out of winter charters a
bout ten days in advance oi the Ital
ian and other fancy varieties, and is
therefore better suited for his local
ity than the pedigreed stock.
The honey that they produce is of
an excellent light amber grade and
practically all of it is deposited in
small one-pound crates by the bees
(themselves. These are well-filled by
the bees; very few holes are leu
empty. Not only is the location of
the hives an ideal one insofar as the
nectar supply is concerned, but the
bees themselves are large producers
for an average of forty pounds a
season per hive is very good indeed.
Mr. Becton keeps this average to a
high standard by preventing the bees
from swarming to any great extent
during the honey flow.
Not only is Mr. Becton a high type
beekeeper, but he also makes all of
his equipment except the little pound
crates. He has a combined honey

Recently while J. A. Ratcliff was
eoine- about his business of selling in
surance in the Harlowe section, he
saw a large rattiesnaKe crawling
down the road in a slow fashion. As
rattlesnakes are rather dangerous,
Mr. Ratcliffe thought it an excellent
thing to exterminate this particular
one. So he got out of the car and
walked near the reptile not too
near, however. About that time
Charlie Bell, who lives nearby, came
upon the scene. The snake stopped
when they approached it seemed to
be in a torpid condition and they
soon ended its career by bludgeoning
it to death. It was five and one-half
feet long and had seven rattles and a
button.

But Will Beckton is not the only
producer of honey in Carteret Coun
ty not by a jug full. Jude and Bird
Small have seventy-five or a hundred
hives between them on Core Creek
and W. E. Fodrie has about seventy-
hve hives at Newport. A large num
ber of farms within the county have
a few hives apiece, but none have as
many as those named in the forego,
ing. Practically all of these are of
the ordinary black variety.
MISS DUNCAN PROMOTED
The many friends of Miss Grace
Duncan, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C.
L. Duncan, will be pleased to know
that she has been promoted to tne
head of the County Reference De
partment of the Library of the Uni
sn nf North Carolina. Since
her graduation there a year or two
ago she has been living in Chapel
Hill and has been employed in the
library.
Unless citizens of Carteret County
stop in their hurry-scurry life and ob
serve what the home folks are doing
in the wav of producing foodstults
that will brine revenue into the coun
ty, they perhaps think that Carteret
is a pauper county, yuite to tne
contrary, the fanners in this county
have produced half a dozen major
crops since the first of the year and
have received around a half million
dollars from their sale. This will
perhaps be amazing information to a
cood number of people hereabouts,
but it is nevertheless true as can be
seen from the following paragraphs.
Early in the spring the larmers
shipped 37,200 crates of cabbages
besides those trucked out and receiv
