There is considerable more "fire" in the first and second primaries this summer than perhaps in many years, with respect to the nomination of a candidate for the U. S. Congress. The overthrow of the Abernethy re gime came as a matter of course, and was due at this time principally be cause of the physical incapacity of the incumbent in Congress, with oth er factors contributing. It is gener ally conceded at this time that the district has two men running for this nomination that are both ably quali fied to represent the Third District in the United States Congress, and it is therefore expected that the race will be a rather close one, with the possi bility of either candidate winning by a marginal majority. Votes this time are expected to be curtailed to a marked degree over those polled in the first primary. Four candidates were running for the nom ination of sheriff here in the county on June 2nd, and these candidates "pulled" a good vote to the polls, many of whom will neglect or fail to vote in Saturday's primary. Car teret voted some over forty-one hun dred in the first primary, but Sat urday's election is not likely to bring more than twenty-five hundred to the More inter-week games will be an nounced later.

With brick walls 20 feet thick and a unique Swastika design of ironwork, this century-old fortification, which once guarded Beaufort and vicinity from sea invasion, is being restored to mark another historic soot in Tar Heelia. It required a dozen years to con struct the present fort and the expen diture of $463,700. At its completion 100 years ago it was considered a peak in military construction of that kind. Now members of the Civilian Con servation Corps are busy preparing the interior brickwork, the masonry on the roof and the iron construction. The three-arched brick stairways will be reproduced just as authentically as possible. Finlay Ferguson, Jr.. an architect who spent two years on the colonial restoration project at Williamsburg, Va., is sparing no effort in trying to follow the plan of the original fort. A collection of photographs, taken from stereopticon views of the fort in ,1866, have been found useful guides !in the reproduction. Historians record that forts have occupied sites here or nearby for more than two centuries. In 1712 a fort stood here to guard the section from the Spanish raids. Construc tion of the present fortification began in 1824. It was seized by Confederates in 1861 and held one year, falling then to General Park of the Union .forces. Approximately 412 acres, including the fort site, now comprise a state park, being granted North Carolina in 1924 by Congress. Terminal Drug Co.
