She was very friendly and democratic, and easily at Stnt Cololese zWhile the usual numbers of farm ers and farm women took the spec ial short courses offered in all phas es of farm activities and the usual good was accomplished in improve ment of thought in agricultural pur suits, significant was the importance laid upon organization by the repre . sentaitivesof the several establish 1 ed and new divisions and departments in Washinsrton.

For the first time the number of mitnmohile licenses sold at any given time last year dropped below an ex cess of 10,000 over sales- at a liKe date this vear. during the past week, Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Max well reports. Sales last year to and including July 29 reached rfbMJ4, while on that date this year the num ber sold had reached' 851,509, or 9, 885 less than the i last year's sales For several months, early this . year the number ofVcff.s of last .year over thi year ranged between 30,000 and 40.000. Bringing this ' excess , to less thatt 'lO.OOO is taken as a strong indication of the return of more .nor mal times, and of better business. Teachers' Salaries Estimated f North Carolina teachers will re- I jtive about $543 a year, $45 a month 1 for 12 months, or $68 a month for I the eight months of actual teaching - I for the next twoo years, based on tne ' I estimate of the State School Commis I sion that about $12,500,000 of the iftnnvnnn wil be available for teacher salaries, and that there will be about 23,000 teachers. These estimates were reached following the meeting of the commission last week. A committee was named and will be meeting this week from a committee of the State Board :f Education to work out a salary schedule for teachers for the comi:;.? year. Meanwhile, the school commission directed that plans be mada for aud iting the school funds for 133-33. State Auditor Baxter Durham, arm ed with an oDinion from Attorney- General Brummitt that he would be liable on his bond for the $16,000, nnn school fund, appeared to ask fund o conduct the audit. The law directs that v,a .nmmission. in conjunction with Goovernment Commis sion, shall' cause an audit to be made" of the funds. It is likely that a continuing audit will result, in tpnrf of an audit a tthe end of the year, regardless of whether the State Auditor or the commission has it done. School folks are taking the view that the low salaries in these times of inflation will reap great benefits from their plight for the next two years, and that though thjy will be hard nit oy i.ne iuw oimc, Max. Min. The "Frank and Susan" was own ed by a prominent New York law yer, F. L. Fuller, who was lormeriy of Durham. At the time the fire took j place, Capt. Arthur Midyette, of j Morehead City, was in command of j the cruiser. No one was injured in any way by the flames. Word was immediately sent to the owner in New York informing him of the to tal loss of his yacht. SANITARY CONDITIONS OF SCHOOLS NOT UP TO PAR According to information given a iNews reporter by Supt. J. G. Allen, sanitary con ditions of various Carteret County schools are not up to par. Before school begins this fall some two dozen toilets will have to be constructed at about ten or twelve schools at various points in the county. . All' schools in Carteret have sanitary water supplies, Super intendent Allen stated, judg ing from the fact that no com plaints have been made by sanitary engineers from the N. C. State Department of Health. He further added that the toilet condition now exist ing will be remedied before the .opening of school. , j i, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 111. 12. 13. 14. 15. 1C. 117. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 88 78 89 78 93 72 . 76 62 ..86 58 90 64 87 65 85 78 86 75 j 87 76 88 71 78 71 75 65 78 65 76 65 82 65 84 71 81 69 84 72 84 73 87 72 89 71 87 ' 71 .88 .- 75 88 77 90 - ., 76 90 76 90 73 90 74 89 76 . 89 78 years old.

Few early sweet potatoes have from Carteret County so far this season. The firs, ones that were shipped brought about tnree dollars a hamper, but two and a quarter is the high price now. rnmmrtil with former summers, fewer early sweets will be shipped this season than in the past several years. Thi is due largely, it is said hv Countv Farm Agent Hugh Uver street, to the drought late in the enrinff an d earlv in the summer and to the fact that fewer were planted than heretofore.

On this Sunday we celebrat en t.he fact that all debt on the church property had been paid. At the morning service an informal pro gram was carried out. A report was ffiven bv the Treasurer stating that the church was entirely out of debt, thco huroh hiatory was read and a musical number entitled The Church by the side of the Road was given. Last Sundav. July 30, we were in deed happy to have the representa tives of the Sunday schools ol the Atlantic Association to meet with us in an associational convention. An interestingprogram was given in the morning and also in the afternoon. Wo were fortunate in havintr Dr Gorrell of Wake Forest College as the principal speaker of the morning session. The Beaufort male quartet rendered several selections during the day. The afternoon session was given to several inspirational talks by some of the pastors in the asso ciation. One of the most enjoyable fea tures of the day was the picnic din ner that was served by the ladies of the church to every onep rfsent. We feel as if this convention will be r,n inspiration to us in our Sun day School work and we sincerely trust that it will be equally encour aging to our co-workers in the exten tion of the Sunday School work in the Atlantic Association.

John Bunvan Consrleton. better rknown as John Bunyan, was tried in Recorder's Court Tuesday morning on a charge of larceny, was convict ed and sentenced by Judge Paul Webb to serve six months on the roads. According to the evidence giv en in court. John Bunyan stole two paint brushes from near the Carteret Hardware Company which were own ed bv Ed Skarren and which were yalued at five dollars. When the brush es were missed, Mr. Skarren began to look around with a weather eye. When he heard that John Bunyan had trie dto sell a couple of paint brushes to John Ellison, colored, he went and saw the latter man Sunday. Ellison repeated in court the epi sode he had with "Long John" which was related in a rather dramatically; interesting manner to the court at tendants. Monday Skarren swore out a warrant charging John Bunyan with the larceny of the brushes. Af ter this warrant was served, Skar ren said that John Bunyan took the brushes back to him and told the riehtfi;'. owner that he was turning the brushes over to him that he stole from him last week. John Bunyan said that he did not 'steal" the brushes, but merely took them home with him, and wuold have in a "srentlemanly manner" turn ed them over to any rightful claim- nt. He reiterated time and again hat he did not steal the brushes, but nerely took them home. When Judge Webb started to sentence him to the roads. John made a clea for mercy to the court but without success. For assaulting Elijah Hardesty, olored. Arthur Stewart, also color- id, was ordered by the court to pay he costs of tne court action and al- , o nav Georsre "Stanley for a brok en window. Hardesty testified that Stewart met him' near the pressing club of Paul Fenderson Saturday night about ten o'clock ann asked him if he would like to have a "drink." When he acrepted the invi tation, Hardesty said that Stewart told him to go down the street with him to the back of Stanley's auditor ium. When they arrived there, Stew art tried to "stick him up" for mon ey and other valuables, Hardesty told the court. Hardesty said that he start ed to run toward George Stanley's store, with Stewart in hot pursuit, and that during the flight Stewart hit him with his fist. Wrhen thev ar rived at the store, Stewart knocked Hardesty through the glass window and cut his left arm seriously in several places, the latter testified. Stewart's tale was a3 follows: Har desty met Stewart and tritd to pull the latter back of Stanley's auditor ium. During this, Stewart's shirt was torn. This made him mad and he took after Hardesty. When they ar rived at Stanlel's store, Hardesty had so much momentum that he hit the window with his left arm, break ing the glass and cutting his arm himself.
