Not so many years ago this was the natural thin to ask when one observed another on the way home with a bottle of milk, for that was the main usage made of the food herea bouts until quite recent years. Hardly any one sold milk, and if they did it was in small amounts and mostly for the sick, the invalids and the conveles cents. Even five years ago there was only one dairy in Carteret County that could be rightfully called by that name. The years gince then, however, have brought remarkable changes in the beef and dairying business of Carteret County. There are now eight modern dair ies in the county and these are con ducted along extremely hygenic lines. In addition to these, there are many other folks in the county who have several cows and sell milk to a lim ited number of customers. Also, there has been a steady increase of milkers on tne rarms in tne. central and western parts of Carteret; the easterners have made little progress so far, but they too are awaking and beginning to realize the worth of milk. These eight dairies are: Hoff man's, at Bogue Bluffs; H. L. Joslyn, Crab Point, W. A. Ball, Morehead City; Holly Grove, managed by J. W. Humphrey, and Hugh Carraway's Dairy, Beaufort; and W. E. Fodrie and Irvin Gainer, Newport Perhaps what has brought more change in the selling of milk is the wide-spread doctrine that milk is es pecially beneficial to growing chil--dren as well as adults; this has re sulted in many mothers feeding their babies and smaller children upon this all-important food.' The supply of milk even though the number of dairies have increas ed mightily in the. past few years, has not kept pace with the demand. Out-of-county dairies, especially during the summer months, run milk trucks here and dispense their product. All of the local dairies find a ready mar ket here in the county. But the growth has not been con fined to dairy cattle alone; Carteret beef breeders have simultaneously increased the number and quality of their herds considerably in the past few years. In 1927 there were 683 beef cattle in the county; in 1928, 708; and last year there were 1,208. This is quite an increase. Five years ago all of the beefers in the county were of the mixed variety with the exception of one bull; now there are around a dozen registered bulls and the quality of the general stock has been likewise made better by the higher quality sires. Only recently George A. Oglesby, of Camp Glenn, purchased a fine reg istered bull of the Red Poll dual purpose variety. Mr. Oglesby is one f the most progressive farmers in Carteret and he has tried to remedy the growing need of improved stock by this purchase. He has about a half dozen heifers now, but contem plates buying a dozen or so in the near future. This news-story just relates anoth er phase of the Carteret County farms that has pr"?ressed mightily in recent years and noints the way for more scientific fanning and stock raising as the years go by. JUNIOR ORDER WILL HAVE SPECIAL MEETING MONDAY Thomas E. Beaman, State Organiz er of the Junior Order, will meet with the local Juniors lit the hail here nt 7:45 o'clock Monday evening, at which time an extensive membership campaign will be launched.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OPENS AT MARSHALLBURG TOMORROW So fa- there have been no political speakin;"; in the campaign in Carter et coun - although other counties have ha1 them. However the ice is to be b' oken tomorrow evening at Marshahberg when W. G. Mebane, Republican nominee for Congress will speak. The meeting is adver tised to begin at 7:30 P. M. Several of the county candidates have indi cated their intention to be present at the meeting. A Republican club is to be organized after the speaking is finished. District Council For Scouts Organized Here A meeting was held in the Boy Scout Hall in the court house annex Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a District Council for the troop here and the two troops in Morehead City. With the growth and progress of these troops it has be come increasingly apparent that some provision should be made for the pro motion of the Scouts as they get ready to pass the various tests. Un less there is a district council and a court of honor it is difficult for the scout to be promoted as they should be. Those attending the meeting elect ed Wm. H. Bailey District Commis sioner and John H. Workman, Vice District Commissioner. Then chair men for three committees were select ed: Camping and Financing: Stanly Woodland; Troop Organization and Training: to be filled later; and Ed ucational and Civic Service: F. R. Seeley. Those selected for the Court of Honor were: the Reverend J. A Vache, Chairman, Dr. S. F. Hilde brand, John H. Workman, Dr. Ben Royal and H. L. Joslyn. These men were selected because of their good character and capability. The Rev erend Mr. Vache is well versed in the work of the Court of Honon, having served for several years as a member of the one in New Bern. The first two scouts of the local troop to pass their first class tests were Rex Wheatly and Leslie Moore. They only recently accomplished this. Several other of the Scouts have passed nearly all their first class tests. With a local Court of Honor these first class scouts will be able to work for merit badges.

Rouse, of Wash ington, suing him for $10,000 dam ages, for alleged criminal conversa tion and alienation of the affection of Rouse's wife during an evangelis tic campaign in Washington. Creech in his answer, filed in Beau fort county Superior court, emphat ically denies the allegations in the complaint. IK- admits that he had a room at the Rouse home in Wu.-hing-ton, while conducting religious ser vices there but he denies that he wronged the home or the housewife. He declares that he made "no sugges tion to plaintiff's wife of question able propriety and he believed then and has no reason now to question her female virtue." DR. W. S.

ABSENTEES OUGHT TO SIGN BALLOTS Attorney-General Expl a i n Law For Absentee Voting Raleigh, Sept. 22 Rulings with re gard to absentee voting in North Car olina have been made public by At- torney Dennis G. Brummitt in a let- j Tuesday served to prolong the ses ter to Judtre J. Crawford Biees. sion into an all day court. Both chairman of the state board of elec tions. The attorney general held that a registrar can legally give to an ap plicant an absentee certificate and ballots after 12 o'clock noon on the day of election; that it is legal for a chairman of a county board of elec tions, or a registrar to issue an ab sentee certificate and ballots to one person, making "application for an other in writing, with out the sign ed order of the voter for whom appli cation is made; and that ballots votd by an absentee voter should not ibe counted when such ballots do not con tain the signature of such voter on the margin or back of the ballot.) Mr.- Brummitt amplified the last ruling by saying that the courts would probably uphold the counting of the absentee ballot if it were pot signed on the grounds that the elec tion laws are to be construed liber ally in favor of the right of the elec tor to vote, but that it is his opinion they should be signed. Mrs. Wallace Tries Her Gun on Another Varmit Mrs. G. R. Wallace of Merrimoi; will likely sometime surprise folks by going "big game" hunting in Africa or some other wilds, but her immed iate friends will not be surprised. Not at all.

One day. last, week the same dog got to barking about something a gain Mrs. Wallace took a look and found a large rattier to be the center of the dog's wrath.

A right large crowd was on hand when court con vened at nine thirty. The first jury case was that of J. E. Lewis, of Morehead City, on the charge of possession of liquor for sale, of transporting and sale. Lewis is a Greek or some sort of foreigner. He has lived in Morehead City for something over a year and has figur ed in court several times on charges of one sort or another. By reason of the sentence given him he will have to leave the county or serve a term on the roads. Lewis was represent ed by attorneys A. B. Morris and C. R. Wheatly. The principal evidence against Lew is was givtn by deputy sheriffs Lu ther Smith and Wilbur Nelson. They testified that on the night of August 31 they went to the defendant's home twice and on each occasion bought a pint of whiskey from him. The last time they went they took hold of him and told him he was undpr finest.. I-wis drew a pistol and another man appeared with a shot gun.

Those in attendance at the meeting seemed i to like any thing that would enable them to dispose of their tobacco at a ! reasonable price. County Agent Hugh Overstreet talked to the men, outlining the ad vantages of cooperative marketing and the steps the Federal Govern ment will take toward aiding the to bacco growers if they will organize. The Federal Farm Board proposes to let the growers turn their crop over to it and be stored in government warehouses. On the day the tobacco is turned over to the Board, the farmers will have between seventy five and a hundred per cent of the average selling price advanced them. Later when the tobacco is graded and sold, all except what was advanced the growers plus a small per cent will be paid the growers. This will en able the growers to hold their crop until the law of demand will raise the price of the commodity. The committee appointed by Gover nor O. Max Gardner has been at work the past week on the contracts the farmers will be asked to sign when they turn their tobacco over to a gov ernment warehouse. S. D.
