North Carolina in the seven weeks the object of much criticism, but it
ues of a permanent nature from the
CWA work now in progress here.
The cost of the projects for labor
and materials are more than $70,
000 in value. With the exception of
two very good city dockets being
built most of the work is on school
buildings, school grounds and streets
adjacent to the schools.
A tremendous lot of work has
been done and is still under way at
the Beaufort Graded school for the
white race. Mulberry street from
Live Oak to Pollock, has been wid
ened to 50 feet from curb to curb.
On the north side a 10 foot sidewalk
will be laid and on the south side
there will be a six foot sidewalk.
The roadway will be made of sand
and clay. The grounds around the
school building are being greatly im
proved by filling in the low places
and levelling it up. Similar treat
ment has been given the athletic
field. A grand stand and bleachers
with seating capacity of about 600
are being erected. Under the grand
stand dressing rooms, shower baths
and toilet facilities for the players
are being provided. .
Application for funds for a teach
erage has been made and apprived.
This building will be located near
the school and will be a large, com
modious building, modern in every
respect. An artesian well is being
driven and it is hoped that an abun
dant supply of water for the school
will soon be available. Extensive
Those who were in court on the
charge of disturbing the peace at the
dance were: Reginald Williams, the
Fuifords, Roy Potter, William Ed
ward Potter, Carl Turner, Mark
Washington, Aaron Bell, Johnic
W. Smith, Irene Debix, Mary Debix
and Ida Chadwick. They denied any
"disorderly conduct but the testimony
of Joe Pasteur, Robert Pasteur and
the police officers satisfied Mayor
Taylor of the guilt of the defen
dants and he gave them the privilege
of paying $5.00 each or serving 10
days on the streets. All accepted
the verdict except the Fuifords who
took an appeal through their attor
ney C. R. Wheatly to the Recorder's
court.
Howard Rhodes, colored, charged
with forcible trespass at the home of
Charles (Goose) Chadwick, was not
ready for trial and the case was con
tinutd. Owen Vann, colored, charged with
fighting was acquitted.
Sam Jordan, colored, charged with
hitting his two sistets, said they did
not have him any dinner teady when
he came home and that they used
rough language to him and admitted
that he did chastise them to some
extent. His sentence was 15 days
on the streets, judgment suspended
on payment of costs.

and received the gratifying response
which is reproduced below:
January 22, 1934.
Mr. W. G. Mebane,
President and Editor,
The Beaufort News,
Beaufort, N. C.
Dear Sir:
I am glad to have your letter of
the 20th with reference to the Har
kers Island-Cape Lookout highway
project
I have given this matter a great
deal of thought and am much inter
ested in it. By request it is being
studied by the officials of the high
way department.
With all good wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
J. C. B. EHRINGHAUS.
CWA projects are now going for
ward in all parts of the country,
with few exceptions. The biggest of
them all is the drainage of the salt
water marshes which has had 300
men at work. Some 114 milea. of
ditches have been dug and the sum
of $15,648.45 spent for labor. It is
thought that most of this money has
been spent in Beaufort and More
head City. Oyster planting, road
building, repairs to school houses,
wells and toilet facilities for schools
and private homes constitute a large
part of the CWA program. An or
der has been made to reduce the
working time of employees in Beau
fort and Morehead City to 24 hours
and those in the rural districts to 24
hours. What effect this will have on
the work remains to be seen Th
pay roll last week lacked a few dol
lars of being $16,000 which was the
high mark so far.
