Cartel Republicans
Will Hold Convention
Hundreds of Republicans From All Over Car
teret Are Expected to Come to Beaufort to
Attend Convention in Court House at Noon
June 2nd, Which Will Begin With Band Concert.
Carteret Favorably
Impresses Visitors
The Beaufort News office was fav
ored Monday afternoon with a visit
by Dr. and Mrs. Eugene D. Camp
bell, of Brooklyn, N. Y. They stop
ped by to get suggestions about the
worthwhile points of interest in this
immediate vicinity. Doctor and Mrs.
Campbell returned to the office late
Tuesday afternoon arid thanked the
staff for the suggestions. They said
they had been at Harkers Island, At
lantic and other places in eastern
Carteret. These New York visitors
seemed very enthusiastic over the va
cation possibilities of Carteret, and
favorably compared this section with
the Cape Cod of tourist fame.
Doctor Campbell is a native of To
peka,, Kansas, but has been employ
ed during the past dozen years as a
translator by the New York office of
the Texas Oil Company. He is a mas
ter of six foreign languages, and it
is because of this fluency that he is
employed as a linguist. Mrs. Camp
bell was born and reared in France,
and both she and her husband have
traveled widely. In view of the fact
that they have trekked over many
leagues of the earth's surface, makes
emphatic the fact that Carteret
made a profound impression upon
them. They intimated that they will
return here next summer and spend
the entire two weeks of their vaca
tion in this immediate vicinity.

Unless some unpreventable mis
fortune like a spe-Il of bad weather
happens within about two weeks
Carteret County's spring potato crop
will be moving to markets. Indica
tions are that the crop this year will
be considerably larger than last but
not so large as it has been in form
er years. For some reason or other
the growers did not get a very good
stand this spring. With only a few
exceptions the stand will probably
average not more than sixty percent.
The potatoes that did come up
though are looking very well and
ought to make a pretty good yield.

After a few days illness from pneu
monia which had its beginning in a
case of measles Archie Modlin died
last Saturday afternoon. The lad
who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R.
C. Modlin of Beaufort was 12 years
of age. Besides his parents the boy
is survived by five brothers and sis
ters. The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon and interment was in
Ocean View Cemetery.
Alvis Maynard, 20, of Raltigh. a
member of the Civilian Conservation
Corps camp being started at Fort
Macon, was drowned early Saturday
afternoon while in bathing in the
ocean near Beaufort Inlet just off the
new CCC camp at the fort.
Companions with Maynard went to
his rescue, but the water was deep
and the inlet current was strong and
they were unable to save him when
he went down in water about five feet
deep. Coast Guardsmen began drag
ging shortly afterwards and found
the body late Saturday afternoon.
Young Maynard was the son of
Mrs. Maynard, 305 South Swain
street, Raleigh.
He is survived by his mother, two
sisters Mrs. N. H. Moore and Mrs.
Myrtle Wagstaff of Raleigh and four
brothers, Hubert and Ollie Maynard,
Raleigh; Edward, of Clayton, and
Carl Maynard, of New York City.
Maynard was one of fifty recruits
detailed for preliminary arrange
ments at the new CCC camp at the
historic fort. The remaining 150 men
are expected in ten days from Stan
tonsburg, upon completion of bar
racks and a mess hall at the new site.
It was reported Maynard did not
know how to swim.
Republicans from throughout the
length and breadth of Carteret Coun
ty will foregather at the Court House
at noon on the 2nd day of June for
the purpose of nominating a county
ticket for the election next Novem
ber. This is the same day that the
Democrats have their primary. St.
Paul's band will give a concert at the
Court House just before the conven
tion is called to order.
A dummy ticket was fiied with D.
E. Langdale, chairman County Board
of Elections, about a month ago, but
it was understood by those filing that
tney would not run. This was done
in order to comply with the North
Carolina Elections Law, which he
quires that all candidates file by a
specified time. The law also provides
thatt he executive committees may
fill vacancies should any announced
candidate withdraw from thep rimary
or election.
Saturday, the second f o June, is ex
pected to be a gala day, politically
speaking. The Drimarv which ia
wholly Democratic will bring many
people from this precinct into Beau
fort. Hundreds of ReDublicans from
all over Carteret are expected to trek
to Beaufort to attend the Republican
County Convention; a representation
from each of the twenty-six precincts
in Cartel et has signified its intention
of being present for this all-important
occasion in the life of the average
Republican.
While the program for the day is
largely tentative at this time, it ia
(definitely known that"" St Paul's
School Band, will be in attendance.
There has be-Si some talk about serv
ing barbecue, and it is expected that
this will be done. All things consid
ered, it is said that this day will be
a rather interesting one for the Re
publicans who attend the convention.
Carteret County Republicans are
becoming agressive, and it is said
thata full ticket will be presented to
the convention for its approval, a
ticket made up of candidates who are
both capable and vote-gettnig. It has
been four years since the Renuhlirnn
party was in power in this county, and
it is now expected thatt he Novem
ber election will assume the atmos
phere of a battle royal.

teachers were re-elected.
LOCAL SCHOOL RANKS
COMPARATIVELY HIGH
In a report recently received by
Robert L. Fritz, principal Beaufort
High School, from the Southern As
sociation of College and Secondary
scnoois, it was stated that of the eighty-eight
members of the Association
in this state in 1932-33, the local
school ranked twenty-first. This is
considered very good by those who
are familiar with the tests given by
the Southern Association.
