The passing of Herbert Bryant
Saturday evening came as a great
rVinck to his many trienas m more-
head City and Beaulftrt. He had been
ill almost a week with head trouDie,
but it was not thought to be of a very
serious nature. Saturday evening he
grew rapidly worse nad died at about
nine o'clock from what was diagnosed
as an abcess of the brain.
Mr Rrvant had been living in
Mc-rehead City for the past several
years, and was an employee ot the
Cherry Hotel. During his stay in
Carteret County he became quite
well known, especially among the
young people, and gained many
friends bv his affable, tnendiy man
ner. He was 24 years old.
The deceased was removed to tne
Adair and Rice Funeral Home Sun
day and prepared for burial. An am
bulance came down bunday nignt ana
carried the body to Castalia, the for
mer home of Mr. Bryant. Funeral
services were conducted Tuesday af
ternoon at 4 o'clock by the Reverend
Mr. Johnson, pastor of the Castalia
Baptist church. Interment was in the
Castalia Cemetery. A large crowd
was present and the many floral tri
attested to the esteem with
which the deceased was held.
Miss Marearet Hill, who was Mr.
Brvant's fiancee, and her brother
Howard, attended the funeral.
Mr. Brvant is survived by his par
ents. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Bryant, by
a sister, Mrs. A. B. Terry, of Kaleigh.
and a brother ,James Bryant, of
Castalia; also by a number of young
er brothers and sisters.
Much interest has been shown in
the June primary elections in Carter
et County, judging from the many
candidates that have announced them
selves for office, especially that of
sheriff. More have announced them
selves for the latter office than has
ever come out before. This is said to
hp due lareelv to the fact that when
the tax collecting was taken away
from the sheriff it consequently re
lieved that official of one of the most
onerous duties that were performed
by him. In addition to a salary of
twenty five hundred dollars a year,
the sheriff also receives a bonus for
each whiskey distillery he captures
and fees for serving papers, etc.
Four have come out for the office of
sheriff subject to the Democratic
primary, and five subject to the Re
publican primary.
Three candidates are entering the
Republican primary for the office of
Register of Deeds; the nomination in
the Democratic party went to the
present incumbent, Irvin W. Davis,
without opposition. Candidates for
County Board of Commissioners do
not have to enter the primaries, be
cause these tickets have been select
ed within each party without oppo
sition. Only one or two members of
the present Board are running this
year. No opposition was given the
candidates of each party who have
announced themselves for coroner,
constable and surveyor. Four candi
dates have come out in this senator
ial district subject to the action of
the Democartic voters; they are,
Fred I. Sutton, Kinston; Ira M. Har
dy, Kinston; Larry I. Moore, New
Bern and E. W. Summersill, Jacksonville.
Several candidates have signified
their intentions of withdrawing from
the primary elections, but so tar on
ly one has tendered his resignation
to D. E. Langdale, Chairman Coun
ty Board of Elections. That was C.
T. Jarvis of Straits, who had given
notice of his candidacy for sheriff
in the Republican primary.
