AA1 RECORDER AIRS NEWPORT CASES Colored Man, Found at Still, Given Four-Month Road Sentence Two cases from Newport brought a representative number of its citi zens into Recorder's Court Tuesday morning as witnesses and spectators. The first of these was that of Otis Slaughter charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill, upon W. R. (Rupert)- Could bv striking the latter near the right temple with a twenty-two army style rifle about the midafter noon of the fifth of November. Af ter all of the State's evidence was brought out, Judge M. Leslie Davis struck out the "intent to kill" clause from the warrant, upon the request of C R. Wheatly, the attorney for the defense. .

On the day in question, several witnesses testified that W. R. Gould was drinking quite freely. An argu ment came up between him and Otis Slaughter because the latter would not pay for more groceries for Mr. Gould than Andrew Slaughter had signified on his note to the Pender manager.

All the way home the inebriated Mr. Gould continued to curse and otherwise defame Otis Slaughter. Mr. Slaughter stopped by his own some and left his groceries and took his twenty-two rifle back to the truck with him, because he and one of the other men had previously made a bargain to go squirrel hunt ing that afternoon. Having made Mr. .Gould get off the truck when it went up to the Slaughter home because Mr. Slaughter did not want the man to curse around his wife the truck stopped and picked up the drunken man when it was driven back to the road. A few hundred yards down the thoroughfare the truck met a cart in which two men were riding, one of which was W. R. Gould's brother. Mr. Gould transferred his groceries to the cart and then insisted on a fight with Mr. Slaughter, having con tinued his cursing ami profanity. In an endeavor, as Mr. S.aaghter testi fied, to defend himself, he hit Mr. Gould near the right temple with the barrel of the twenty-two rifle and knocked the man temporarily uncon scious.

Representative Celler, Democrat, New York, who has been an advocate of beer for years, said in . a state ment: "There will undoubtedly be suffi cient votes in the December Cong ress, in both houses, to pass a beer and wine bill. The rebuke to the drys y - has been so severe, that even defeat ed 'drys' haveing their eyes on the elections two years hence will be compelled to vote 'wet' in December. The New Yorker estimated that with beer and light wines legalized $400,000,000 revenue would be re turned annually, and that if a "bot tled high-ball" were legalized it would amount to $1,000,000,000. The "bottled high-ball" he explained, would not exceed 14 per cent alco hol, the maximum point of fermen tation in wine.

NEEDY GIVEN AID LOCAL RED CROSS Flour and Clothing Distributed Among Needy East Carter et Families There has been more demand a mong the white people for Red Cross flour and less among the col ored people since the second car load was received in the fall than there was the first carload. Only about one fourth of the second carload now re mains to be distributed. At the pres ent time it is understood that the lo cal chapter of the American Red Cross will receive at least one more carload of flour milled from federal wheat after the present supply is gone. With the increase in employment due to the opening of the fall fish ing season and other activities, the applications for flour are now on the decrease. It is thought that fishing, oystering and clamming, along with other fall and winter work around here, will furnish employment for a good many that have been depend ing on the Red Cross for supplies of flour. If this is the case, there will likely be more for those who are in more straightened circumstances, . During the past few weeks, the lo cal Red Cros3 chapter headed by Mrs. F. E. Hyde have distributed quantities of second-han dand new clothing to those who are in need in the various section of eastern Car teret County. The second hand clothing was collected from those who desired to make contributions. The new clothing was partly made by various home demonstration clubs in the different communities and part ly by private individuals here, as well as the local Red Cross ladies. In addition to the clothing and flour, the Red Cross is collecting and distributing blankets and quilts both new and used ones among those who have none and no means of obtaining them. The local Red Cross Chapter is do ing everything it can to aid the needy in eastern Carteret. MARRIAGE LICENSES Bennie Hardy and Etta Mae Tos to, Merritr.cn.

MENHADEN FLEET SEARCHES DAILY FOR MONEY FISH "Fatbackers" Now Making Moderate Catches Almost Every Day Now PRICE HAS RECENT ADVANCE Some seventeen or eighteen men haden fishing boats are now catching large fall fish for the five Carteret County fish factories in operation. In the neighborhood of five hundred and fifty men are now employed on the fishing boats and at the factor ies the boats average about twen ty-two men each and the factories about thirty-five each. Since the fall fishing season began, the price'' per thousand for the menhaden has ad vanced from forty to sixty cents a 'thousand; this is looked upon with more favor by the "fatbackers." Three factories located near More head City are now running and two in the vicinity of Beaufort are cook ing fish. The Morehead City factor ies are: Wallace Fisheries, R. W. Taylor Fish and Oil Company, and the Carterst Fish and Oil Company. Those near Beaufort are: Taylor's Creek Fish Scrap and Oil Company and the C. P. Dey factory; the latter is now being run by W. M. Webb, of Morehead City. Smith's factory at West Beaufort and the plant of the Newport Fish eries, which is located on an island in Newport River, are not running now. While the fishermen are not now receiving the money they did several years ago for their fish, they are nevertheless encouraged by the mark ed advance made since the opening of the fall fishing season. The seas on, usually begins about the middle of November r.nd extends ' until a bout Christmas, covering only about six or seven of the fifty-two weeks of the year. When both oil and scrap were selling at topnotch prices during the first p"t of the past dec ade, "fatbackers' v made a comfortable all-yeai-. in the few weeks of fall fishing"Li. .-. en with the prices they are receiv ing now, the menhaden fishermen are enabled to earn their daily bread. If it were not for the large quan tities of whale oil that is so cheap ly imported from Japan and other meager-wage countries, the menhad en industry in Carteret County and other sections of the coast would be flourishing as in bygone fall seasons. Low tariff on the imported whale oil has resulted in very large quantities being brought to this country, and has caused the price of menhaden oil to fall to a comparatively low figure. The big fall menhaden came about two weeks ago or about the first of November, but the weather did not permit the fleet of "fatback' boats to catch the coveted menhaden until re cent days. No boat to date has made any exceptionally large catches, but most of the boats come in each day now with moderate catches. During the past summer months the Taylor's Creek Fish Scrap and Oil Company cooked some twenty two million small summer fish, which was more than the usual total out put of the factory the whole year. These were caught almost wholely by the smaller menhaden fishing boats. Should the weather from now un til Christmas be favorable and the migratory menhaden remain within fishing distance of the Carteret fac tories, many millions of fish will like ly be cooked in the nearby factories during the next four or five weeks.
