Marshall claimed that his wife came to him late the afternoon of the tenth and told him that Jack :Smith had insulted her at neon that day by telling her to take her children and keep away from his home, and that he used profanity in so doing. Mar shall further stated that he immed iately thereafter accosted Smith at the home of D. J. Godwin, but dis claimed that he assaulted him in any way, and that he did not have a knife to draw on him. Smith testified that he did not see Mrs. Marshall at noon that day. He said that she had been cooking bread Jn his stove for some time, and this had been agreeable with all concern ed. Smith said that he was sitting on the edge of the porch of tha home of Mr. Godwin when Marshall came up and started a fight. As it progressed Smith firmly avowed that Marshall drew his knife and ran him around the Godwin home with it. ' Part of the following witnesses testified that they saw the knife, while ethers did not: Jack Smith, D. J.

Marsh all was convicted and sentenced to serve sixty days in the county jail, to be assigned to work the roads of the state under the supervision of the State Highway Commission and the Public Service Commission.

Charlie "Goose" Chadwick, one legged Beaufort Negro, an old-time offender, was brought into court on a charge of having in his posession a quantity of liquor on the 12th of May for the purpose of sale. The defendant pleaded guilty. After hear ing Chief of Police W. R. Longest and Charlie "Goose," the court sen tenced the defendant to 4 months on the state roads. The case against Dan Piner, which has been continued for several weeks, was again continued on account of the absence of the necessary witness es.

Junior-Senior Banquet Given Friday Evening Friday evening, May 11, the Amer ican Legion Hut was transformed in to a beautiful scene to represent Sheerwood Forest when the Junior Class (Robin Hood) of Beaufort High School entertained in honor of the Senior Class (Maid Marian). Banked in the beautiful native long leaf pine, palms, and other shrubs with the rustic ceiling from which festoons of vines formed a fitting canopy, the floor covered in the pine needles, the hut rivaled Sheerwood itself in splendor for the merry feast of the Outlaw Band and guests. The tables, carrying out the Senior Class color scheme of green and white, were also attractive in their rustic appointments. The place, cards were miniature hand-painted Robin Hoods in green and white with a real white feather in his hat. Each guest found a hand-carved noise-maker of reed and feathers and the guests of honor were presented beautiful corsages and boutonnieres. Mint cups were made of an oak leaf. While Allan-a-Dale supped with the Band, the Seven Aces Orchestra PASTOR WILL LECTURE Sunday night at the Methodist Mayor Tries Eleven Monday Night Court By M. R. DUNNAGAN Raleigh, May 14 Three political cauldrons are heating and much steam is expected in three contests for membership in Congress during the next two and a half weeks until the June 2 primary. Interest is cen tering in the Third, Fouth and Tenth Districts, while minor battles are be ing fought in the Second, Fifth, Sixth Seventh and 11th districts. Probably in the Third, where six candidates are seeking to unseat Rep resentative C. L. Abernethy, is the contest waxing warmest. Politicians say that Mr. Abernethy, with the large field, is likely to lead the group, but not with a plurality in the first primary. However A. Mc.L Graham, Clinton, and Graham A. Barden, New Bern, are giving him trouble, and one of them is expected to be in the second primary, unless both are, which is possible but not likely.

In the Teiith the race will be de cisive, with only two candidates, and either Representative A. L. Bulwinkle or Hamilton C. Jones, Charlotte, will be the nominee. Mr. Jones gave the incumbent a close race two years a go and hopes to profit by his mis takes now. This race is expected to be very close. Congressman J. H. Kerr, Second, is expected to have no trouble from A. O. Dickens, Wilson, and belief is that Mrs. Lily Morehead Mebane, Leaksville, will not be able to "un horse" Rep. Frank W. Hancock, Ox ford. Bruce Carraway, High Point can do very little with Rep. W B. Um stead, Durham, in the Sixth. Clayton Grant, Wilmington, is fighting hard for the Rep. J.
