The board also made a request that County Board of Education recommend tothe Board of Commissioners that an election be called to abolish the extended school term. The board made a good many changes in the tentative budget a3 submitted by County Auditor White hurst. Mr. Whitehurst said that he had made the items in the General Fund larger than strictly necessary so as to keep as much money in the county as possible. He said the tax rate would not be less $1.60 any way and every thing not used for local purposes would have to go to debt service. Chairman Chadwick however insisted upon lowering a considerable, number of items and was backed up .by members of the board. N o provisjknow how much aid to ask for from ion was made fora Recorder's court and salaries were all cut ten per cent. Allowance for feeding prison ers hitherto 75 cents was cut to fif ty cent a day. In the tax rate C3 cents was allowed for debt service. Had a sufficient allowance been made to cover all debt service it is estimat ed that a rate of $4.28 would have been necessary. The board passed a motion allow ing R. C. Morris of Newport twon ship a reduction of $1000 on valua tion of property the same to apply on 1930 taxes. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Geo. M. Piner et ux to Colonial Oil 1 lot M. City for $10. B. J.

Federal Aid Asked For The Unemployed A group of persons from Morehead City and Beaufort who are interest ed in welfare work held a meeting i yesterday afternoon in the offices of the County Superintendent of Edu cation and discussed the problem of relief for the needy. Miss Mary F. Ward of New Bern, who is connect ed with the State Welfare Depart ment, was present and presided ov er the meeting. This department is making a survey of conditions in all o fthe various counties in order to the Federal government Miss Ward had several forms in which many questions were asked as to the number of unemployed, the extent of destitution in the towns and county and other such matters. Many questions were also asked as to what relief work is being done by the churches, clubs, the county and town governments and other organ izations. The Federal aid fund is not to take place of such charitable work but is merely to supplement it. It was stated that any money sent here would be used mostly for giving peo ple work to do. Only the helpless will get much cash without doing any thing. After going into the investigation as thoroughly as possible it was de cided to ask for $6000 for Carteret county. It has been reported that Craven county has asked for $10,000 and some of the large counties much larger sums than that.

Governor Gardner i3 engaged in a survey of hte State to determine the needs, getting the reports from the county welfare officials. So far about 80 of the 100 reports are in. When completed, these reports will be studied and checked, and Governor Gardner will ask for aid on that bas is. Local communities will be requir ed to continue their relief work, the Federal funds to supplant such local funds. -' v May Lower Light Rata In its announced purpose to reduce public services as much" as possible, the N.

WATERMELONS HAVE BROUGHT OVER $20,000 DURING PAST FEW WEEKS Despite the extremely dry weather this summer, the water melon crop already netted the farmers of Carteret County in excess of $20,000 and about 25 more carioaas win oe shipped within the next few days. Sixty-six carloads have gone to mar ket by rail, 48 by boat, and between 80 and 100 by trucks, besides what has been consumed locally. Perhaps 10 more cars will go by rail and 10 or 15 hy boat before the close of the season. Approximately 204 cars of md ns have left Carteret this year, v.mle 218 cars were shipped last year. In recent year? the bulk of the melons w-p l,ppn marketed by rail, although a goodly portion have, been freight- ks ana boats. Carteret for north- hia vi-'iv; trucks have . d more this season than ev- I or before for conveying the melons j tJ market.

Bag limit is ten in one day for the first and twenty-five for the lat ter. Hunters in eastern Carolina may hunt deer bucks only from Sep- 1? 15 to January 1, with a bag limit of two in one day or four dur- - !5n tne season; the season is closed jon does until September 1, 1933J. No (season is provided for hunting bears m eastern Carolina. Ducks, geese, brant and coots are migratory waterfowl and hence the huntnig season for these are regulat ed by Federal legislation. Last year only one month was allowed by Un cle Sam for the open season on these fowl. This year, however, the govern ment is going to allow an open seas on for two months, from November 16 to January 15. There was much dissension in Carteret county and a long the Carolina coast last year on account of the one-month open seas on ; these people will probably be bet ter satisfied when they learn that they will be given the privilege of hunt ing two months this winter. The daily bag limits for these are: 15 ducks, 4 geese, 4 brant, 25 coots, and 25 sora; and not more than two days' bag limit can be lawfully in a per son's possession at one time. All -dates in this news story are inclusive There is no closed season on the following birds and animals and no J&ag "limits: wildcats, English spar rows, great horned owls, Cooper's and sharp-s-hinned hawks, crows, black birds, jays and buzzards. Hunting licenses are a3 follows: county resident $1.26; state resident $3.25; and non-resident $15.25. Trap ping licenses are: county resident 25. Combination hunting and trap ed to obtain resident state-wide li censes at $5.00. Licenses are on sale in virtually every community in Car teret County. The state law makes it strictly un lawful "to hunt or trap without the proper license; to take or kill game birds and animals out of season; to take in one day or in one season more than the bag limits; to kill a female deer; to buy or sell any game except rabbits and squirrels; to take game by trap or poison, to hunt by auto or boat, to bait for upland game;., fur-bearing animals may be trapped in accordance with law and regula tions." This year the Department of Con servation and Development i3 request ing each hunter to keep an accurate records of the game killed and to properly fill out the blanks concern ing this that will be mailed out by the Department to each hunter. DR. LARRY MOORE LOCATES HERE AT POTTER EMERGENCY Dr. Larry Moore, son of Mr." and Mrs. Tyre Moore, of Marshallberg, will soon begin practicing hij profes sion here. An office at the Potter Emergency Hospital is now being Pauls School during his grammar 'and high school days. on, a man came from New Bern to Morehead City in forty-five minutes and counted 103 trucq loads of mel ons in the 37 miles. The average return to the grower for the individual melons was ten cents each, or about $100 per car load. This is comparatively low con sidering the relatively high prices brought by the prime melons in the northern markets. It is said that the resaon the local melons did not sell any better than they did was becaus they were as a whole rather small on account of the dryness of the season. Nevertheless, virtually all the melon growers made money on their crops despite the small yield. A field of ditions is comparatively cheap to pro duce and hence much of the money the melon.?, net the growers is usual ly profit. Most of the. melons shipped this season were raised at Crab Point Mansfield, around Newport and up seas-;iuogue bound. r-TCH Your label and pay your subscription PRICE 5c SINGLE COPY Buick And Hudson Cars Collide at Camp Glenn A Hudson coach taxi driven by Clayton Willis, of Morehead City, anda Buick roadster driven by R.

Interesting Reports About Third District By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Aug. 7 A series of unusual and politically interesting reports are reaching Raleigh from New Bern and other points in the Third Congressional district, in sub stance, as follows: That Congressman Chas. L. Aberne thy has had a recurrence of his form er illness and that he is away at some place not designated taking treat ment. That his condition is such that his name may be withdrawn -from the licKet to pe votea on in me general , . . . . . ...... I ..... il 1 election this fall. That agreement has been reached that he would withdraw on condition that his son, Charles L. Abernethy, Jr., be placed on the ballot in his place. That he will not have his name with drawn until after the 30-day limit before the election, so the Congres sional committee can name the can didate. That the Congressional committee looks with favor on the substitution of the son's name on the ballot for that of his father. These reports may be political ru mors, started by enemies of the pres ent Congressman to discredit him and his son, and may have no foun dation in fact, but they are current in Raleigh, Congressman Abernethy was renominated in the grst primary by a large majority over Rivers D. Johnson, Warsaw. He has had con tests in former years and has been antagonistic to the Simmons organi zation, which has sought, unsuccess fully, in past elections to bring about his defeat. Some even now predict that if the reports above should ma terialize, the district will go Repub lican in the election this fall. Mr. Abernethy carried it four years ago by only 4,430, or 21,740 to 17,310, against W. Giles Mebane, Republi can. LIQUIDATING AGENTS WILL NOW ACCEPT INTEREST It is possible now to pay interest on notes held by closed banks so the News is informed by Liauidatinar Agent W. A. Allen. This is in accord ance with a ruling recently made by Banhing Commissioner Gurney Hood. Before this rule was made a person ! who had a note in a closed bank was j not allowed to pay interest on it al-1 though he could pay as much as he 1 wanted to on thep rincipal. Nowi terest or principal. NUMBER OF LOCAL STORES ARE NOW BEING PAINTED During the past week or -ten days several stores and buildings have been painted here in Beaufort.

NUMBER 32 NORTH CAROLINA TRIES TO SECURE HOME LOAN BANK Would Lend Money To Horn Owners So As To Prevent Foreclosures STRONG COMMITTEE APPOINT'D By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Aug. 8 Steps lookingr toward securing for Norah Carolina one of the Home Loan Banks and al so one of the Agricultural Credit Corporations authorized by Cong ress as relief measures were taken by Governor Gardner before he left Raleigh on a vacation by appoint ment of two strong committees to seek to convince the Federal author ities that this State is a proper and desirable location for both organiza tions. The Home Loan Banks are creat ed to assist in financing home owner ship, by making loans to building and loan associations, savings banks and insurance companies so they can fi nance themselves without foreclosing on mortgage loans they have made to home owners. Individuals may bor row direct from the banks when they do not have proper facilities in their own communities. Governor Gardn er said he considers this one of the most constructive features of the re lief legislation and should prove of great benefit in relieving pressure a gainst many home owners. "I regret that tnis Home Loan Bank was not created months ago. It will probably be three months be fore the Home Loan Bank will be is operation. The President has not yet appointed a director." ' Governor Gardner spoke highly of the work done by Congressman Frank Han cock in getting the bil through Cong ress and his efforts to get one of the banks for this State. He named Mgrf Hancock as chairman of the commit- -v teg tQ seek tQ t & bank fof tHa State, other members being Judge Junius G. Adams, Asheville; Stuart W. Cramer, Cramerton; Word H. Wood, Charlotte; James S. Duncan and Julian Price, Greensboro; John Sprunt Hill, Durham; Charles E. I Taylor, Wilmington; George K. Free I man, Goldsboro; W. C. Woodard, Rocky Mount; Clyde R. Hoey, Shel by; J. E. Brinn, Sanford; J. M. Broughton, Raleigh, and Robert M. Hanes, Winston-Salem. v As to Agricultural Credit Corpor ations, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is authorized to create one in any of the 12 Federal Land Bank districts, with not less than $3, 000,000 paid up capital and author ized to make loans or advances to farmers and stockmen for agricultur al purposes, including crop produc tion and raising and marketing live- stock, at fair and equitable interest and marketing livestock, at fair and equitable interest and discount ratej Saying that former Governor A. W. McLean, Luraberton, has manifest ed a great interest in this movement, Governor Gardner named him as chairman of the committee seeking the credit corporation for North Car olina, along with the following mem bers; R. T. Fountain, Rocky Mount; (Contnued on page 8) TIDE TABLE Information ah to the tides at Beaufort is given in this col umn.
