The political situation, in respect to the Democratic Primary Saturday, is reaching fever heat, especially as it concerns three or four offices. Of course it is entirely impossible to judge a political fire by the amount of smoke that drifts around. In a case of this kind a fire of unknown magni tude may be smoldering, ready to break out on election day with sur prising results. Mainly the fights are over the office The stiffest rain, wind and electri cal storm that Beaufort has had in several years took place Tuesday af ternoon and evening. For a short time in the afternoon .the wind attained great velocity but beyond breaking off some limbs and blowing down some trees, no great damage was done. The lightning and thunder were rather terrifying but no one was hurt.

Despite the fact that this primary is solely for the selection 01 uemu cratic candidates to party in the general ,, November, and therefore should poll only Democratic votes, it is now ex pected that an untold number of so called Republicans will "crash the gates" Saturday and vote for what ever Democratic candidate that he or she favors.

The vessel will probably carry around 350,000 fish at a load in her hold. Chairman E. B. Jeffress, of the statp hiirhwav and Dublic works com mission, and Frank W. Miller, of Waynesville, and L. H. Hodges, of Snrav. appointed by the commission rc-centlv to study the proposal that the Atlantic Beach bridge be taken j over bv the state and kept open with-: out toll charges, visited the beach Tuesday afternoon to get facts and figures for their report on the mat ter to the commission which meets June 6 in Raleigh to consider further the taking over of the Atlantic Beach bridge, the Wrightsville bridge and the Roanoke Island bridge. The inspection tour to the beach by the commission chairman and com mittee followed a conference in Ral eigh Tuesday morning by the highway members and Robert W. Cordon, manager of Atlantic beach for the owners, the Manufacturers Trust company, of New York city. Mr Cordon told the highway com missioners that the owners wanted $100,000 for the bridge, fill and cause way. He reported that the bridge cost $127,000 and that the fill and paving cost $71,000, a total of $198,000. Following this talk in Raleigh, the three commissioners and Mr Cordon motored in Mr. Jeffress' car to Atlan tic beach for a thorough inspection. They saw the bridge and the fill, the resort buildings and all other struc tures at the site. Then they took a picket boat over to Fort Macon and the vicinity, where they inspected the new shore road that is about halfway completed to the fort from the beach bridge. They were very enthusiastic over the new' road and its scenic effect around wind ing curves along Bogue sound, and wpre especially pleased with the splendid state of preservation of the Guion Sharpe, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Sharpe, of Camp Glenn, near Morehead City, died Sat urday afternoon at 3 o'clock from in juries sustained when his bicycle col lided with a car driven by Land Wade of Morehead City. The accident occurred on No. 10 highway near Camp Glenn when young Sharpe rode from behind a narked truck. Mr Wade, who was driv ing at a slow speed, turned to avoid the boy on the wheel, but the lad turned in the same direction, causing a collision. A front wheel of the car ran over the boy, breaking three ribs, one of which punctured a lung. His hip was fractured and he suffered other injuries. He was immediately started to the hospital but died en route. He had just passed his seven th crade examination and was to en ter the Morehead City high school next year. Upon investigation by Highway Sergeant A. T. Moore, of the State Highay Patrol, Mr Wade was held not at fault, and the same decision was reached by the coroner's jury.

In case Mr. Meekins is unable to come at the last minute, some other prom inent Republican will deliver the key note speech at the rally. Before the convention is called to order, a band concert will be present ed. There has been considerable talk of serving the guests a luncheon of barbeque. Hundreds of out-of-town Republicans have been invited and urged to be present at this conven tion, and the party leaders are antic ipating large delegations, from the twenty-six precincts of Carteret which will swell the convention to a capacity house. At this rallv the Republicans will nominate on the open floor 'candidates to run on the party tcket in the gen eral election next November.

While C. T. .Cannon, Dr. C. S. Maxwell and Dr. C. G.

The "Willis" is a former sub marine chaser which has been fitted with new engines and otherwise im proved for the freight service. Visitors who come to Beaufort this summer in their cars will have no dif ficulty in doing so unless a protract ed spell of wet weather should set in. It is not uncommon at all for motor ists to drive from New Bern to Beau fort in an hour and half which is as fast as the state law permits one to travel.

Summersill has been in the legislature before, and is looked upon as capable. Pittman is basing a part of his campaign upon the fact that Green has not had a state sen ator for third of a century. A half dozen candidates are hot after the nomination for congress from the Third Congressional Dis trict, and since the nomination is equal to election, considerable inter oaf is heimr shown throughout the entire district. Of course it is im possible to give a clear picture of this, from the vantage point of Car teret, but it now aDnears as if the nomination will lie between Barden, Abernethy and Hamilton in the sec ond primary, and which two of these three will gt the most votes will continue to ba a mystery until late Saturday night.

Still the new lights showed up splendidly and last night they were even better. that they were surprised it was built on such an extensive scale. The next step in the consideration that the state commission is giving to the taking over of the beach bridge is the report that will be made next month to the full commission. The chief obstacle, as is the case with the other two private bridges being con sidered, is the exact price that tne state is willing to pay. BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin W.

It seemed that John continued to inter- fer with groceries on display at a store on Front Street where Cecil works after the latter had repeatedly warned him. In order to make his warnings more emphatic, Cecil let fly a "hay maker," and as a result of this John folded up and struck his head against a hard obiect. The man was taken to the Potter Emergency Hospital where he later regained consciousness. - In this case it appeared to the mavor that Cecil had sufficient prov ocation and dismissed the action a- gainst him. Cal Stanley, colored, was up on two counts of being drunk and dis orderly. He was found guilty and given five days on both counts. Barney Dixon, young white man, was found sruilty of a charge of drunkenness and was given ten days. William Ed Potter, colored, was given a thirty-day sentence upon be ing found guilty of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The cases against Dave Davis and Lem Mason were continued until Monday evening. Hoke County cotton farmers have reecived $50,000 in rental payments for their cotton adjustment contracts.
