Uncertain XU1 K- rvfva HrH Mi..! Mrt. Lewis Advuet ThU Newt paper That She Will pay $1 Each for Any Straying Cattle Returned, or 50 Cents Each for Reports Leading to Capture of Any Missing Member of Bovine Herd. There is no reason to believe that anyone would deliberately steal a cow. Far more probable the bovines justs trayed from the herd, but, ac cording to the bulletin received by Mrs. Lewis, FERA director of Car teret county, there are approximately 5,000 of the 101,684 head of drought stricken cattle which were sent to North Carolina from the west miss ing in the State today. Mrs. Lewis did not state .that any of the cattle sent to Carteret county were missing. The Carteret herd nura bered between eight and nine hun dred and a check is being made to determine if any are missing. Some of the cattle may have es caped and if such is the case will probably be found in the swamps or pocosms oi western Carteret at a near date. If it is nossible to catt- and return them to the pens alive it will mean a new lease on life for the cattle. If they are obstinate and re fuse to be captured, a good old sys tem of elimination, by the use of a high powered rifle will be employed. Most of the number sent to this county have already been consumed by the abbatoirs but there are some still in captivity in the county. These are mostly, female cud chew ers, expecting 'blessed events.' Miss M. Dudley Met -Tr&gi6 Death Monday' Funeral services for Miss Martha Dudley, 75, were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. She is survived by two brothers, Eugene and Walter Dudley and two sisters, Misses Sadie and Mary Dud ley each residents of Beaufort.

Miss Dudley was reported missing late Monday afternoon Seachers looked for the body all night ! long Monday in the nearby marshes and yaupon patches. Shortly after ! daybreak it was discovered. I The supposition was that while re- turning from a nearby pump to fetch a pail of water Miss Dudley stumbled into the icy waters and died of ex- haustion or froze to death. No mo tive could be learned for suicide or foul play, according to Coroner Geo. Dill's investigation. IMPORTANT SOIL SURVEY Id MADE When Completed Work Un der Supervision of S. O.

Three years later the clipper Flying Cloud was to wreck on Ocracoke beach loaded with the finest of silks and satins. Portsmouth was a sum r.ier resort attracting persons from many parts of this and other States. It was in the year 1851. It was on January 28, 1851, that twin baby girls were born in the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Stant n on Moore Street in Beaufort. The Stan tons were descendents of Carteret county's earliest settlers. Two pretty names had to be chosen for the two little babies. The names selected were Susan and Mary. Today, 84 year later, those twins are Mrs. Mary Robinson, who still lives in Beaufort, and Mrs. I Noe of York, S. C. They celebrated 8nmvrsary Monday.

BAILEY United States Senator North Carolina must get her share of the four-billion-dollar ap propriation which the President has called for in the interest of provid ing for the employment of 3,500.000 workers. According to the taxes forwarded from the U. S. Collector's office at Greensboro, our share is ten per cent, of $400,000,000. We will not get that. According to nonulatinn we nro entitled to one-fortieth, or $100,000- ooo. we may get that. But the President, has declared that the funds must be spent according to need. IX we employ our unemployed, we will need $100,000,000. And the fact remains that if North Carolina shall pay out more than she receives, this will tend to iniure. Der- haps to impoverish the State. We are m no position to taki care of the unemployed in other states. ( Let us assume that we may obtain $100,000,000 of this fund. What shall we do with it? 1. We are having difficulty main taining our public schools. Our teach. ers are entitled to better rav miirh better than they now receive.

And the com plete connection of principal towns and all county seats ought to be made with first-class, hard-surfaced, long lasting roads. 3. We must take steps to bring our great wealth of sea-food off our coast, in our sounds and rivers, in more direct touch with the markets and at the least possible cost. Free the fishermen of tolls build the nec essary channels, improve the harDurs and docks, and if necessary, buy the nets. There is a world of wealth in our Eastern waters.
