HAS CONVICTION
Island's Musician Convicted of
transporting Whiskey in
Recorder's Court

Local Hig. 5 esday
V- r.
Harkers Island's noted musician
and composer, Ivey Scott, was tried
in Recorder's Court Tuesday morn
ing for transporting whiskey, and
upon the testimony of Chief of Po
lice W. R. Longest, was found guilty
and sentenced to ninety days in jail
and assigned to work at the county
home. Scott was not represented bv
an attorney, but he himself gave no-
uve oi an appeal to Superior Court
and bond was set at $100. J
Lhief Longest said that on the
seventeenth of December that he saw
Scott walking down Pollock street in
a suspicious manner and appearing
to hide something. He stopped and
found that Scott was transporting a
quart of whiskey. Scott was taken in
to custody and when he was asked by
iniei congest where he bought the
liquor he told the policeman that he
would show him.
As a result of this, a colored man
was arrested and will be tried short
ly. Scott was given a preliminary
hearing in Police Court and it was

court in the court-house ....nex Tues
day evening, beginning at 8 o'clock.
Some two hundred and fifty specta
tors were present for the basket ball
games and the St. Paul's School band
furnished the music for the occasion.
The girls' game was nip and tuck,
and both teams played excellent bas
ket ball. Captain Duncan and Misses
Potter and Mace were the stars for
Beaufort High. The locals lost to
Morehead City by three points.
The boys game was very unusual
in that during the first half the score
remained 1 and 1, possibly a record
for that length of time. Close defense
marked the playing of both teams.
Morehead City High won the game
by a score of 6 to 4, one of the low
est scores ever registered here dur
ing a similar contest.
Both teams of Beaufort High will
play again here on the same court
Friday evening, the first game to be
called at 7:30 o'clock. Teams from
either Atlantic or New Bern will be
the opponents.

Man Nearly Loses Eye
In Friendly Talkfast
John Murray must have left his
rabbit's foot at home Monday even
ing, for when he got into a friendly
argument with John Smith the lat
ter man mistook Murray's friendli
ness for fei-ocity and jabbed Murray
in the left eye with a screw driver.
Both colored men are residents of the
upper North River settlement.
Murray was brought to the Potter
Emergency Hospital and received
treatment for his injury. After four
stitches had been taken in the vici
nity of Murray's left eye, the colored
man was released and returned to his
nome. The attending physician told
a News reporter that Murray will
completely recover from the screw
driver wound.
IRA STYRON FAMILY MOVES

this family lived in a house on Crav

considerable complaint as to alleged

W. F. Bell, of Newport, pled not
guilty to' a charge of possessing
liquor for the purpose of. sale. It
developed that the Newport police
was suspicious and secured a search
warrant for entering the Bell home.
Five half gallon fruit jars of whiskey
were found in Mrs. Bell's trunk. The
defendant, through his attorney, E.
Walter Hill, stated that he was with
in his rights to have that amount of
whiskey in his household as long as
he did not sell any.

Newport police officer at the time of
the search, S. W. Browder and W. H.
Bell were examined. Concerning what
was found when the Bell residence
was searched. The five jars of whis
key were in evidence. Judge Paul
Webb seemed of the same opinion of
the. defense counsel, and so the de
fendant was found not guilty.
LeRoy Guthrie, Sr., was convict
ed of entering the premises of Mr.
and Mrs. A. F. Lewis and without
their consent taking a radio the prop
erty of the Lewises away and while
in the house cursing and otherwise
disorderly. Guthrie and Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis are related closely. Both Mr.
Lewis and his wife testified that they
purchased a radio on time about a
year ago from the defendant. It
originally sold for thirty-five dollars,
but they had paid twenty-four on it.
LOCAL CAFETERIA
RECEIVES PRAISE
Gracious Co-operation of La
dies Makes School Cafe
teria Quite Successful
Due to the wholehearted co-operation
of the ladies of the community,
the cafeteria at the Beaufort Public
School has been operated very suc
cessfully. It was started last fall by
the Community Club, but since then
a number of non-member ladies have
volunteered their services. The sys
tem used by the local school cafeteria
is considered to be unparalleled and
has attracted widespread attention
throughout eastern Carolina for its
effectiveness in furnishing the school
children with noon-day lunches.
For the past several months the
cafeteria has served an average of
fifty free lunches and-fifty paid, lunch
es each day. Some of the "paid lunch
es" are really bartered; for some of
the rural children bring produce to
equal the nominal cash payment for
their lunches. The Relief Fund has
been aiding the cafeteria but the ap
propriation has only been made for
the next trree weeks. The cafeteria
is operated as a non-profit organiza
tion, but the small surplus that has
accumulated will permit the cafeteria
to continue operations until the end
of the school year even though the
Relief Fund appropriation is not ex
tended over that period. Cr rather
this is the hope of the sponsors of
the cafeteria.

Guthrie claimed that they permit
ted him to remove the radio without
a claim of delivery. Besides Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis, the following witnesses
were examined: LeRoy Guthrie. Sr..

found guilty and fined $10 and costs.

seven weeks a dollar a week has been

of the Community Club, says that
the club is greatly indebted to those
who have contributed their services
that the cafeteria might be contin
ued. Not only have the ladies aided
materially, says Mrs. Stubbs, but the
husbands of the workers have been
very gracious in being inconvenienc
ed by the absence of their wives from
their homes during the middle of the
day.
Before the cafeteria was started at
Morehead City school the sponsors in
vestigated the plan of the local cafe
teria and it is said that they were fav
orably impressed with the system. It
is also understood that visitors from
other communities in eastern Car
olina have studied the way the Beau
fort cafeteria is conducted and con
sider it to be ideally operated.
Largest Transaction In Beau
fort In Some Time Closed
Last Week
It is apparent that the Gulf Refin
ing Company has considerahlo mn.
fidence in the value of Beaufort real
estate despite the depression. A deed
recently recorded at the offlca nf ,
Register of Deeds shows that thin hi
oil company has bought th property
wnica m nas occupied for some time
at the foot of Turner street. The con
sideration is stated to be $ 10,000 but
cancelled stamps on the deed indi
cate that $22,500 was paid for the
property. Several years ago this lot
was bought from the Hancock-Huntley
Company by F. M. Simmons and
the late W. D. Adams of Charlotte.
A filling station was erected there
and it was leased to the Gulf Refin
ing Company. This is the biggest
deal made in Beaufort in a lone
time.
Several realty transactions have
been recorded recently indicating
more interest in real estate than has
been shown for some time. The rec

HOUSE HAS ,$500 DAMAGE " '
LATE SATURDAY EVENING
Fire broke out under the stairway
of the home of Ed Barbour on Tur
ner Street Saturday night about
eleven thirty o'clock and did a $500
damage before it could be extinguish
ed. Mrs. Gilbert Glancy, who lives
next door, was the first to see the
fire, and her husband turned in the
alarm.
By the time the local firemen got
there, the hallway was a light blaze
and the street and all around the
house was smothering with smoke. It
looked as if the whole building would
go, and th? houses on each side ap
peared to be in danger, but the fire
men extinguished the blaze in short
order.
The house was not occupied at the
time of the blaze. The family was in
Jswansboro. An insurance adjuster
was here Tuesday and went over the
building. The residence will not be
repaired by the insurance company,
but Mr. Barbour will be paid the a
mount of the damage.
