Allen Start Something Major Allen's resignation from the Industrial Commission has start ed the "faithful" to work for them selves or friends for the post. The chances are that Commissioner J. Dewey Dorsett will be named chair man. He represents industry and Commissioner T. A. Wilson represents labor. Maj'or Allen was the non-class member. The east-west element will doubtless be considered. Wilson is from Winston-Salem the west; Dor sett from Siler City, the center, and Major Allen from Kinston, the east, and by territory alone, the new mem ber would come from the east. How ever, about 80 per cent of the work is in the west and piedmont, and that may enter.

At nine o'clock on the morning of September 17 some 5000 Carteret county boys and girls will pick up their books and with more or less pleasure resume the business of get ting an education. An exception to this however will be the White Oak school which will begin Thursday the 13th. This opening will be in conform ity with the opening date of the Swansboro High School to which school White Oak high school pupils will be transferred. The public schools of the county will have 136 teachers this year, which is the same number as last year. The number of teachers is bas ed upon the attendance of pupils. Some counties have lost some of their teachers because of insufficient attendance. Instructional and sani tary supplies for the schools have been purchased and are in hand. The budget of the school board was submitted to the Board of County Commissioners at their special meet ing Monday and was approved by that board. Ah audit of the accounts of the educational department, which is being done by O. O. Hewitt of A. M. Pullen Company of Raleigh, start ed Wednesday. The budget for the schools amounts to $37,957.50 of which amount $21,600 goes for debt service. A tax rate of 45 cents will be levied for school purposes. Under the direction of the Federal Emer gency Keiiet necessary repairs are being made to the school buildings. Ht appears however that unless there as a considerable increase to the working force that the work will not be finished by the opening date. ; ATI COUNTY BUDGET ADOPTED AND TAX RATE FIXED Totals .-36 11 16 27 7 2 the Mill Creek section submitted Dlea of guilty to the charge of lar ceny of some clams.

In the ab sence of Dr. Bonner W. P. Smith of Beaufort presided over the meeting ofthe board. Commissioners Fulcher, Guthrie and McCabe were present. Several people came before the board wanting to have the valuation on some of their property reduced but the principal business of the board was the consideration of the county budget and the school budget, both of which were adopted. The same tax rate as of last year, $1.50, was levied. BEAUFORT POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW GRATIFYING INCREASE The News is informed by Postmas ter Wiley H. Taylor that the receipts of the Beaufort postoffice have aver aged an increase of more than $100 a month for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934 over the nrevinua year. The receipts for the year re ferred to were $9819.51 while they were $8,583.10 for the fiscal vear ending June 30, 1933. When the receipts of the Beau fort office dropped off so sharply, probably due to the depression, it be came a third class office. On Julv 1 of this year Beaufort went back into the second class. It is thought that if local business continu&s to im prove that postoffice receipts here will show a corresponding increase. CORRECTION MADE Mullet Run Starts, Fishermen Get Busy Much activity has been in evidence along the water front of Beaufort for the past day or so as a result of some good catches of mullets which have been made. Not only have the fishermen been benefitted but many men and boys have found employ ment in cleaning and packing the fish. The money which the fishermen receive and that of the workers also I amount to a large sum and will soon begin to circlulate in the channels of business. The shift of the wind to the north day or so ago started the muu.t In the News last week it was er roneously stated that Captain Bonner Willis was in command of the men haden fishing boat Kingfisher when she returned from Florida.

Early in the day the Deutchland made a set and caught a very large quantity of fish but the seine caught on the rocka and was badly torn and the fish got away. The small boats have been busy too and some of them have caught as much as 2000 pounds. Some of the fish are shipped fresh but most of them are salted. They are a very nice quality of fish and ought to sell well. TIDE TABLE Information as to the tides at Beaufort is giren in this col umn.
