Gov. O. Max The important food and feed pro ducts produced in N. C. at current values amount to a little over $180,. 000,000 per year.

Pop! . . In just a few days now there will be the resounding firing of guns throughout the eastern section of Carteret County in and around Core Sound and the many smaller bodies of water emptying therein, for with the opening of the duck season this coming Saturday many local, state and national hunters will find their way to Carteret's hunting paradise During the height of the ducking season, guns are shot so frequently in Core Sound that it sounds to the new comers as if a warefare is being carried on in the immediate vicinity. The ducks spend their summer ;Pay the salaries of teachers and other months in the northern part of the! current school expenses for the first United States and Canada, but with quarter of the year. This install- the coming of cold weather to that section of the continent, they start a southward migration. In the waters of eastern Carolina, they find good plnceB to sojourn in theil. trip to south ern climes; and upon the invitation extended them by the hunters through their decoys, they halt in their journey. This stopping proves fatal to a good many of them, for hunters securely hidden in nearby blinds fire into the flocks and thousands are killed each season. i (Continued on page five) Rotary Club Entertains Teachers Tues. Night The teachers of St. Paul's School and the Beaufort Graded School were the guests of the local Rotari ans Tuesday evening at seven o'clock at a banquet given at the Inlet Inn in honor of the local teachers. It was a gala occasion when these teachers, who have come to this community as comparative strangers, and the bus niess men and their wives mixed to gether socially and became acquaint ed with each other. During the courses of the delicious dinner and afterwards there were many jokes, songs, and dialogues giv en that were greatly enjoyed by all. At the outset Jack Hornaday, Presi dent of the Rotary Club, welcomed the teachers and several other guests. Robert Fritz gave thanks. Musical selections were beautifully rendered by Mrs. John Brooks, Mrs Buel Cooke and Mr.and Graydon Faul, accompanied at the piano by Misses Margaret Trottman and Anna Skar ren and by Mrs. Paul. Several hum orous dialogues given by Mr. and Mrs. Paul provoked many laughs from the guests and the Rotarians. John Workman and several others conduct ed enjoyable contests and other things that accentuated the festivi ties of the evening. At this annual banquet given in schools there were over ninety per teachers there were over ninety per cent of the Rotarians present and practically all of the teachers. George Hamer, coach at B. H. S., was called upon and responded with a pleasant little speech on behalf of the school. Other speeches were delivered by Sam Hildebrand, Harold Webb, prin cipal of the Beaufort High School, and by other. It was an evening of entertainment that was greatly en joyed by the teachers and other guests. This kind of get-together banquet makes the teachers feel more at home. Quantities of Shrimp Are Now Being Caught The fall run of large shrimp have been on now for several weeks and each day when the weather permits two or three dozen boats from More- head City and Beaufort may be found "outside" shrimping. Not very many shrimp have been caught hereabouts this summer or fall until just a few weeks ago, when this run began. Thousands of pounds of these crus- taceans are being caught, and the shrimpers have been getting four cents a pound for their catches. Us ually a large amount is caught dur ing the summer months, but that was not the case this year; however, the fall shrimping is running true to form, with many thousands of pounds being caught around here. Bruns wick and Carteret counties are the principal shrimping localities in the state. This industry is furnishing many in the two communities with renum erative employment.

This was unusual, for ordinarily there are at least a half dozen offenders ar raigned before His Honor. Thet young colored fellow who so loed into Police Court was James Fulford, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct on the nine teenth of October. He had been up before, the cases being relegated to Recorder's Court, so the mayor fined him to pay the town five dollars and costs or ten days with the street force. - Leslie Norris, young white man of Wire Grass submitted to an officer on the charge of exceeding the twen ty-mile-an-hour speed limit and was senteheed-4.0 pay two-fifty and, costs into the city's coffer or serve ten day? with the street force.

Several Candidates In Field For Altorncv-GencraPs Place Already Lining Up For 1932 Race; Counties That Want Special Terms of Court Should Make Application by Novem ber 20; Other State Capital News By M. R. DUNNAGAN Raleigh. Oct. 28 The n&mi of .Thomas C. "Tarn" Bowie, of West. Jefferson, former legislator and for a short time Superior, Court Judge, prominent in legal, political and oth er circles in the northwestern part of the State, has been injected into the 1932 Democratic primary race for At torney General. Mr T?nwio. it. is understood here. is being promoted by eastern North Carolina Democrats, who hold out to him the possibility of moving up from Attorney General to the Governorship later, as did the late Thomas Walter Bickett and as Attorney General D. G. Brummitt is, prospectively, seek ing to do in 1932. Mr. Bowie is un derstood to be considering .the mat ter, but has given no intimation, as Court Recesses Until Thursday November 6 For some reason or other the dock et of the County Recorder's court was pretty light this week. There was only one trial and the defendant plead guilty in that. P. E. Clark, a colored fisherman on the menhaden boat of Captain Erodie Willis; was the lone defendant tried. He was charged with driving a car in Morehead City while drunk. Po officer Iredell Salter who arrested him told of the occurrence. It seems that the man was driving on the wrong side of the road and ran into a truck. Both vehicles were damaged, that to the truck $24.50 and the car consid erably more. The officer said he thougtit the man was well behaved as a rule and had never been in any trouble before so far as he knew. Moore said he had never been in court trouble before. Judge Hill sentenced Moore to 90 davs on the roads but continued prayer for judgment with the proviso I that the $24 50 damage to the trucK be paid and also the costs in the case by next Tuesday. He is also not to drive a car for 90 day? and must re port in court the first Tuesday in ev ery month and show that he has not violated any law. The case against V. A. Iiedsworth charging him with selling consigned goods was noil prossed. The prose cuting witness a man from Kinston failed to show up. Mr. Bedsworth said the amount involved was only $3.60 and that the articles were still on his shelf. Court recessed until Thursday No vember 6th. Several Demonstration Clubs Met Last Week Several of the Woman's Clubs in the various communities abort Car teret County met last week. The club at White Oak met at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Taylor. The rep resentation was not so good, because a forest fire was threatening some of the homes in the community and all of the school boy?, men and some of the women were fighting the fire. Of those attending all seemed enthusias tic over the remodeling program now being carried out in all of the clubs. Two visitors were present, Mesdames J. O. Weeks and J. K. Parker; they joined the club at the conclusion of the meeting. Mesdames Odell Smith and C. C. Dennis were re-elected pres ident and secretary respectively. Mrs. J. O. Weeks was elected vice president and Mrs J. K. Parker treas uref. There was an election of officers at the Markers Island club. All of the girls were weighed and measured and a large percentage were found (Continued on page five) Frank Lovic Dies At Marshallberg Monday The sudden death of Frank Lovic, of Marshallberg, Monday afternoon v came as a great shock to his many friendg . that community. The end came to the much-esteemed man as the result of heart trouble.

He appeared in a case involving injury to a workman employed on a school building serving a district parts of which were in Ashe and Watauga 'counties. If Mr. Bowie should enter the race for Attorney General, the prospective ' number of candidates would be four including Charles Ross, Lillington, former assistant Attorney General, now attorney for the N.

DUNNAGAN Raleigh, Oct. 27 Raleigh Legion naires will forego their annual Arm istice Day barbecue this year and will ask the City of Raleigh and Wake County, which have set aside $300 each for the feed, to devote that a mount to the relief of distress that is expected during winter, due to unemployment and general depres sion. The Armistice Day celebration r ill be held as usual, with Col. C. John son Moovesviile, State Department commander, as principal speaker, and with the usual parade, but the eats will be missing. Raleigh Post No. 1 decided at a meeting last week that it would be better to feed several hundred hungry people during the winter than for Legionaires who are not hungry to stuff barbecue. Auditorium Burns Raleigh's city auditorium, site of several political conventions, road shows and other attractions since its erection in 1912 at a cost of $ 125, 000, was completely gutted by fire stalling just before midnight Friday night while a colored dance was m progress. Several hundred dancers were in the building when the fire started, probably from a match or cigarette, and in a few minutes the decorations went up in a puff. Firemen soon saw the building was doomed and devoted thiir efforts suc cessfully to saving the city hall, with only a firo wall between. Prisoners were taken to the jail across the street. The east wall fell into the street, the other three remaining standing. The insurance was $100, 000 and it is certain the auditorium or another will be rebuilt. Durfey & Mair, defunct broker age hrm here, had assets ot llla, 953.10 and liabilities of $447,667.59, a deficit of $328,714.73, the auditors' report filed with the clerk of Wake Superior Court, shows. This is in addition to the report of a shortage of "not less than 236,000' in the Tucker stat?, of which Carey K. Dur fey, one of the partners, was execu tor and tiustee. The firm has been placed in the hands of receivers and the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., succeed d Mr. Durfey as executor of the Tucker es-tate. The partners, Mr. Durfey and S. Wade Marr, are both under eight criminal indictments for embezzlement from customers of the firm. MARRIAGE LICENSES The business of issuing marriage licenses is seeming a fairly good bar ometer of the "times" and shows with some degree of accuracy whether they are getting better, worse, or just re maining the same. There have been a good many licenses issued during the past few weeks by R. W. Wal lace, Register of Deeds. During the past week four prmits to wed have ben granted: Aleck S. Roberts, Morehead City, and Lena M. Taylor, Sea Level. W. K. Bodenheimer and Ethel Mae Banks, New Bern. Calvin Benton and Doretha Boyd, Morehead City. Claude Felton Martin and Fannie Simpson, Beaufort, RFD. TIDE TABLE Information as. to the tides at Beaufort is given in this col umn.
