Al White, New Bern colored man escaped and as yet has not been apprehended. On November 19th Manly Bailey, Lonnie Godette and Al White held up Andrew Stewart and took his watch and spectacles. A little later the same trio hopped Dave Davis, colored, and took $2.35 in cash, Tuesday morning about half the Irish potato growers of Carteret coun ity met in the office of Farm Agent Hugh Overstreet in the Court-House Annex to hear the discussion of the prospects of the spring potato crop made by A. E. Mercker, Secretary of Tides became a paradox to most of . the Federal Early Potato Committee, the people in Carteret County. It is and R. B. Etheridge, chief of the said that this is the first time in thejN. C. Division of Markets. Much in memory of the oldest people in theerest was shown by the local farm- countv that north, northwest and ers. west winds have caused exceptionally high tides.' Not only around Beaufort were the tides particularly high, but all down Core Sound the water rose to a very high level. High water and the stormy wind destroyed virtually all the duck blinds in Core Sound. Many hunters were in some tobacco and four cigars, besides jtn(J section wnen the tides and wind head. Thanksgiving evening Manly Ba iley Lonnie Godette and William (Bud) Stevens stucK a gun in ine face of Jim Frazier, took $16 in cash from his person, and just about beat the colored man to death. Of ficers got hold of the information of the holdups and warrants were sworn out. William (Bud) Stevens and Lonnie Godette were easily arrested, but when it came to Manly Bailey the of ficers had quite a time "treeing" him and then "shaking him out of the tree." Chief Longest and Officer Hol land made the arrest of the latter colored man, assisted by T. M. Thom as Jr. The officers hunted around for Ba iley. They were given reason to sus pect that he was hiding in the home of Florence Fisher. Florence was working away from her home, so while two of the officers watched her house, the other went in search of the colored woman. When she came, the officers ran Bailey out of the house. He would not submit peaceably, so a persuader in the form of a black jack was used. This was not sufficient but when Mr. Thomas collared him and stuck a gun in his ribs, Bailey's began their destructive work. They saw that hunting was up for the time being so they went home. The guides in the communities east of Beaufort lost considerable money by the storm, not counting the loss of the duck blinds. At Sea Level and several other communities boats have been used to go from house to house this week, wherethe houses were located on the lower land. This, it is said, gave the appearance of gondolas in Venice. The low farming land around North Rives has been in danger of being flooded by the salt sea water, and some acres devoted to broccoli has had the salt "water to come up be tween the rows. The growers were told that all in dications at the present time point to the fact that t!ie next potato season will be about the same as the past one, insofar as the total crop goes. During the past twelve months the entire crop of the U. S. No l's rais ed in North Carolina was marketed averaged $1.85 a barrel, whereas the primes brought an average of $1.45 in 1931.

Recorder's Court died yesterday by limitation after about five years of existence, the last session having been held Tuesday morning. About fourteen or fifteen months ago the Board of County Commissioners pass ed a resolution abolishing this court the first of December 1932. At the conclusion of the last session Tues day morning Judge M. Leslie Davis made an order in which all unfinish ed business of the Recorder's Court was relegated to the Superior Court of Carteret County. Sam W. Guthrie, Harkers Island man, had a number ot charges a gainst him, among which were: curs ing, abuse and assault on W. O. Guthrie and wife Ruby H. Guthrie, the use of vulgar and profane lan guage upon the public highway in the presence of two or more witness es and was drunk and disorderly up on the public highway and did tres pass on the premises of the affiant after being forbidden. The defendant, through his attor ney, Alvah Hamilton, entered a plea of guilty to cursing and abusive lan guage on the highway, but said it was not directed at the wife of the pros ecuting witness. All other charges were denied. C. R. Wheatly appear ed for the private prosecution. It developed that the defendant tried to borrow an ice cream freez er from the prosecuting witness, but was refused and told that the freez er belonged to his wife. Shealso re fused. Owing t othe fact that W. O. Guthrie owes Sam Guthrie about twenty dollars, the latter thought the former should have shown his appre ciation by lending the freezer. Wit nesses testified that the defendant "appeared to be drinking' at the time they said.'he urBed. and used abusjve' language. : ".The following witnesses testified in tne case: w. u. ijuinrie, ivirs. ivu by Guthrie, Mrs. Claude- Guthrlei' Harry Johnson, and Stacey Guthrie. Judge M. Leslie Davis thought there might have been sufficient prov ocation for Sam Guthrie to get, mad, but said that did not excuse the cursing and abusive language. The defendant was found guilty of these two charges and given a 30-day sus pended jail sentence upon the pay ment of the costs, provided he is of a lower teaching more than twenty-five years he work good behavior during the next six months.
