Double That of Wets; Total
Vote Not Large
Carteret county contributed its
share to the big majority which the
anti-rapeal forces rolled up in North
Carolina Tuesday. On the question of
convention or no convention the
county voted 828 for and 1706 a-
gainst. W. O. Williams repeal candi
date received 755 votes and Charles
S. Wallace anti-repeal candidate got
1818 votes. j
The total vote polled in the elec-
tion Tuesday was just about half
what it was a year ago. Some pre
cincts voted much less than half of
their normal strength. There did not
seem to be a great deal of interest
and it appears that very little if any
money was used. At the regular elec
tions considerable money is paid to
workers and they are expected to get
out the vote.
Of the 26 precincts in the county
11 voted for repeal or "wet" as it
is usually called. The vMs carried
Long Pine 18 to one and Bettie 12
to one. The drys caried Stacy 74 to
one, and Barker's Island 196 to four.
Newport and Atlantic usually vote
opposite to each other but this time
they got on the sam; side of the
fence and both went wet. Salter
Path voted in a curious fashion or
else the returns were made out im
properly. It vote-d 62 to one for the
convention and then gave Wallace,

from the County Board of Elections,
which was in session today, is as follows:

A good sized amount of Carteret
county bonds, $108,000 in fact were
disposed of Monday very effective
ly when they were put in the stove
and burned. This was done at the
meeting of the Board of Commis
sioners Monday and was in accord
ance with a resolution adopted at
the October meeting. The bonds
were issued some years ago but
were never sold. They were signed
by C. H. Bushall, chairman and R.
W Wallace, clerk. They were six
per' cent bonds and supposed to be
payable in gold. There were 108 of
them. The bonds were just as they
were printed except that on several
of them some of the coupons were
missing. These bonds were part of
an issue of funding bonds issued to
take up certain debts for mainten
ance and repairs to roads and bridg
es. All members of the board were
present at the meeting Monday,
namely chairman W. M Webb, com
missioners E. H. Fukher, Martin
Guthrie, W. Z. McCabe, W. P. Smith.
County Attorney Luther Hamilton al
so attended the meeting.
Miss Ann Mason, Home JJemonstra
tion Agent, accompanied by Mrs. Es
telle Smith, State Supervisor of
Home Agents, came before the board
for the purpose of offering Miss Ma
son's resignation. Miss Mason stated
that she made her resignation with
great regret, that she had greatly
enjoyed her work in Carteret coun
ty. Mrs. Smith also spoke in very
complimentary terms of the county
and said that the only reason for
Miss Mason's leaving was that she
had been offered a position in New
Hanover County which was a promo
tion. She stated that she would pro
i vide another Demonstration Agent
jhere and would select one competent
.to, riil the piai;e. The matter will
come up at the December meeting.
.The. Board accepted Miss Mason's res
j ignation and she was assured by
j chairman Web that the board regret-
etd to have her leave the county.
' A motion was passed by the board
i which instructed the County Auditor
j to list the lands of I. W. Russell and
Elizabeth Russell estate according to
the 1932 listing.
I A request was made by Soloir.nn
Willis that he be relieved of the
I listing of a $1400 mortgage which

dered that the correction be made. I

Beaufort Sea v
Continu Win
tjO'
By A. R. RlCE-i '
Beaufort continued it winning
ways with a 2 to 0 win over Snow
Hill Friday a tthe latter place. The
victors' offense clicked perfectly to
roll up 15 first down while the block
ing reminded spectators of college
ball.
Snow Hill offered a stubborn de
fense that Beaufort had difficulty in
immediately solving, and showed a
great improvement over their prev
ious game with Beaufort.
The first and third touchdowns
were registered by Ray and G. Has
sell, respectively, and came from
consistent drives. The second was a
result of nasses which carried the
ball to the five yard line from where
Ralph Hassell drove over on a line
plunge. The fourth, and final, came
when ..Moore intercepted a pass and
streaked the remaining 25 yards to
score.
WANT BIG CROWD
To quote Coach Potter, 'attendance

ball. "A big guarantee has been as
sured Wilson for this week end
battle and it is up to us to see that
this guarantee goes through. As
Duke's student body was in high en
thusiasm for its date with Auburn
last Saturday, so is Beaufort High's
with Wilson. But, it will take more
than the pupils to pull this struggle
through, financially, morally and oth
erwise. It is urgently urged that all
civilians possible to be in attendance.
Remiember that Wilson boasts a
population of about four times
greater than ours. And, also remem
ber that Wilson is leading the North
Eastern North Carolina conference
and is a problematical conference
winner. So, therefore, a battle roy
al is expected.
Folks, in our past game this fall,
our gallery has been about an av
erage High School attendance, but
with tomorrow's classic we expect
more than the average. Our attend
ance could very well be appreciably
increased and we expect it to be to
morrow, Friday. Game time is 3:00.
We are not. at top strength for
this game, a few of our lads having

. 'BOND QUESTION
INTERESTS BOARD
Bond Holders Want to Collect
Interest; Will Investigate
Dog Poisoning
the session of the town
commissioners Monday
Most of
board of
night was consumed in a discussion
of the bond situation. A considerable
nunioer of bonds are past due and
much interest is also in default. At
torney W. O. Williams came before
the board and offered to sell $2090
worth of past due coupons at 55
cents on the dollar. All members of
the board were present and also
Mayor Taylor, City Attorney Mason
and City Clerk Thomas.
The board passed a motion to de
fer action on the proposition made
by Mr. Williams. It seemed to be the
opinion of the members that a set
tlement should not be made with
one bondholder unless the same priv
ilege should be allowed to all who
hold bonds or coupons. Commission
er Gibbs said thta some towns al
lowed citizens to pay their taxes with
paving bonds. In such cases the
town fixes a price at which it will
receive the bonds for taxes which is
at a considerable discount. Members
of the board are working on this line
and it is expected that it will be
brought up at another meeting.
I. T. Noe appeared before the
board and asked that a sewer pipe
be put across the foot of Cedar
street so that a lot he has there can
be drained. A motion was passed to
have this done.
Commissioner Gibbs said he had
been requested by a number of cit
izens to bring up the matter of dog
poinoning which has been going on
for some time. A committee composed
of Commissioners Mexwell, Rumley
and Gibbs was appointed to look in
to the matter and to take necessary
action to find out who the dog killer
i;s.
It has been reported to the board
that the State Highway Commission
will not bear the expense of light
ing the Beaufort-Morehead City
Bridge much longer and the Mayor
and Clerk were instructed to confer
with Morehead City authorities and
see what can be done about it.
Commissioner Maxwell and City
Attorney Mason reported that they
had examined former City Attorney
G. W. Duncan's report on delinquent
tax suits started by him. They rec
ommended that a statement of the

attorney's feet o $2.50 for each
suit. Mr. Duncan's bill was on a
basis of $10 a suit.
The report of Chief of Police
Longest was read and several bills
were audited, after which the board
adjourned.
