COMING ELECTION
ROUSES INTEREST
Full Preparations Now Being
Made by Election Officials
For Forthcoming Contest
Large Whiskey Plant
Was Captured Sunday
The cauldron of county and state
politics is now beginning to simmer
and it will not be so very long before
it will boil and come to a climax.
More and more is the subject of pol
itics is being talked about on the
streets, at the shops and drug stores,
and wherever men and women fore
gather. Frequent arguments can be
heard almost anywhere nowadays,
for the subject of who will win out
in the forthcoming election is one of
the main things talked about now.
This interest in the affairs of the
county and state will gradually in
crease until the week before election
it will reach white heat.
D. E. Langdale, chairman of the
Carteret County Board of Elections,
is in his office in the court-house an
nex almost every day now getting
everything in order for the coming
election. All the ballots, both sam
ple and real, along with the election
laws and other necessary material is
being or has been mailed out to the
officials in the twenty-six precincts.
So far Chairman Langdale, notwith
standing the news that has been
spread by the papers, has not receiv
ed any additional instructions relative
to the methods of holding the elec
tion.
Beginning this Saturday and run
ning through October 25th, the reg
istrars will have the registration
books at the various polling places
each Saturday from 9 a. m until
sunset for the purpose of registering
those who hava become of age since
the primary elections early in the sum
nier. November the first will be
"Challenge Day." On all week days
between the fourth and twenty-fifth
of October those desiring to do so
may register by going to the various
places of business of the registrars.
Sample ballots are now being cir
culated throughout the county in or
der to familiarize the voters with the
form of ballots that is now being
--..-used. Candidates of both parties are
placed on the same ballot, one party
on one side and the other on the oth
er side. On the left under the in
structions is the word "Democratic"
followed by a cut of an eagle; oppo
site this is the word "Republican"
followed by the G. O. P. elephant.
Under the?e symbols come the names
of the various candidates and the of
fices they are seeking.
The Democratic candidates on the
county ticket are as follows: Solicitor
D. M. Clark; State Senate, William
F Ward and Ira M. Hardy; House of
Representatives, Luther Hamilton;
Register of Deeds, Irvin W. Davis;
County Surveyor, S. P. Chadwick;
Coroner, Geo. W. Dill; Sheriff, Elbert
M. Chadwick; Clerk of Superior
Court, L. W. Hassell; Judge of Re

The Republican candidates on the
county ticket are as follows: House

Some man's or men's invisible
means of livelihood was confiscated
last Sunday when Deputy Sheriff
John Pake and some other men
swooped down upon what was per
haps the largest distilling plant ever
captured in Carteret County. It was
located in the woods just South of
Hadnot's Creek in the western end
of the county.
The three-hundred-and-fifty-gallon
still must have been run Saturday
night on until Sunday morning, for
it was still hot when it was found at
about noon Sunday. Approximately
three thousand gallons of beer were
found with the outfit; this was de
stroyed. It was a new still, but it
looked as if the operators were pre
paring for a tremendous wholesale
and retail business. Cooking uten
sils, sardines, canned beans, and oth
er similar commodities were also
found; evidently they were going a
bout the liquor-making in a business
like manner.
This is the first distilling plant that
has been captured in Carteret for
the past several weeks. But Deputy
Sheriff Pake made a pretty good haul
this time, notwithstanding the fact
that no men or liquor were found at
the plant.

HUNTMASON
FOR BUCKS OPEN
Bees Make Their Home
In Beaufort Residence
The riprap in front of town, which
has been under re-construction for
the past four weeks, is now neanng
completion. This riprap, or break
water, extends from abreast of the
eastern extremity of Beaufort oblique
ly with Front Street to the Town
Marsh. About every year mis Drean
water has to be re-built to take care
of the natural erosion of the ebb and
flow of the tides.
It was about seven years ago that
the Federal government began the
construction of the riprap to protect
the harbor here. This was made of
sibeable pieces of granite. But the
incoming tide pours over and forms
a ditch on the inside and the outgoing
tide cuts the sand away from the out
side of the wall. This and the nat
ural shifting of the sands results in
the riprap slowly sinking into the
shoal.
Work was begun on this on the 3rd
of September and it is now nearing
completion. It is now about a foot
higher than it was when work was
Oyster And Clamming
Seasons Have Opened
The oyster season in North Caro
ina opened yesterday, October 1.
More of these bivalves mollusks were
caught in the Old North State last
year than ever before, and the oys
termen received more for their catch
es than they have in the past sever
al years.
At the present time Capt John A.
Nelson, Fisheries Commissioner of
the State, says that he does not think
this season will be quite as good as
the previous one, but that in all prob
ability it will nevertheless be a profit
able one. The weather thus far has
been exceptionally warm for this
time 'of the year and the oysters in
general are not in as good condi
tion as they should be. It is report
ed over in Pamlico County, however,
that the bivalves are of a somewhat
better quality now than in some oth
er sections. The hot weather has al
so played havoc with the shippers of
clams; the season opened for ship
ping these the fifth of September,
but few have left Carteret up to now
many of those that have gone have
netted a loss.
There are several things that the
shippers of oysters must conform
with or it will then result in being
unable to ship their products. Any

ed in different Eastern Cities.
The New York Time? some weeks
ago said the case had caused a schism
in the communist party in Russia and
another contending they should re

The latter wing was said to take
the position that if Beal and his com

no communist brought into court on
any major charge would be permitted

Many From State And Nation
Will Hunt Ducks In Carteret
This Season
From the oral reports of the var
ious Deputy Game Wardens about the
county, it seems as if there has been:
a marked increase in the number of
deer within the bounds of Carteret
since the law was passed three years
ago making it unlawful to kill a doe
for the ensuing five years. Of course,
there is an open season on bucks
from the first of October until the
fifteenth of January; during this per
iod many are killed.
Hunters hereabouts, however, think
that a change of season should be
made. They say that the bucks are
in the prime of condition eight or
ten weeks before the season opens,
and that shortly after the first of Oc
tober they become emaciated. The
hunters seem to think that it would
be better to begin the middle of Aug-

were uninvited guests, so they went
where they pleased. A year or so
ago she began to notice the presence
of the insects near the upper north
west corner of her two-story res
idence at the corner of Broad and
Live Oak Streets. It was evident
that a swarm from somewhere around
the countryside had decided to move
into town and had chosen a hole in the
wall under the eaves of the house as
a portal to their newer home between
the weather-boarding and the inside
wall.
There they lived and prospered, de
pite the fact that the Joneses frowned
upon them as a nuisance that was in
creasing rapidly. Occasionally one
or two would get into the house, and
great would be the annoyance there

winter. But the bees wont enjoy all
of the honey not quite. They
might have, perhaps, hut the Joneses
developed a sweet tooth.
Mrs. Jones' son, Mr. Hugh Jones,
and her tow grandsons, Howard and
Ben, and Jude Small of Core Creek,
decided to take part of the honey
last Friday. They used a couple of
ladders to reach the "bee hive." Af
ter several strips of the weather
boarding were removed from the
side of the house, the bees began to
defend their home with the "stick

September Proved To
Be Quite A Hot Month
The month of September was hot
in this part of the country. The
highest temperature recorded by the
U. S. Weather Bureau station was 90
but every day except one the tem
perature was 80 or above. The
lowest temperature was 63 which was
on the 29th. The rainfall for the
month, 8.21 inches was heavy but
there were 19 clear days in the
month. The wind blew from the
southwest for 19 days, northeast 7
days, two south, one east and one
southeast.
The temperature figures for the
month day by day are the following:
Recorder's Court finished its bus
iness Tuesday in a half day which was
a thing it had not done before for
several weeks. A few cases were
continued however.
The case that consumed the most
time was that of W. W. Chadwick of
New Bern charged with driving a car
while under the influence of liquor,
driving recklessly, assault with a
deadly weapon. Through his attorney
C. R. Wrheatly he plead not guilty.
The evidence in the case for the
prosecution was that on the night of
Septemb -r 7 some one driving a car
reckless' ran into a bicycle on Live
Oak street ridden by Caldwell Tyler
and Edg.ir S. Weaver Jr. The Weav
er boy sustained a bad cut on his
foot but the other boy was not in

car as a green coupe but did not
know who was driving it. Mrs. Lu

not recognize the driver. Luther
