MAYBE POLITICS PLAYED HAND
The administrative offices of the
FERA has been moved from Beau
fort to New Bern. Carteret county
has been consolidated with Craven,
Pamlico, Onslow and Jones counties
forming a new District and thus eli
minating Beaufort as local headquar

part of this week.
Only a portion of the ten to seven
teen thousand dollars which has been
expended weekly in Beaufort, More
head City and other communities in
Carteret county since the office was
established following the CWA will
now be spent.

PORT AUTHORITY
BILL WITHDRAWN
Representatives From Beaufort
And Morehead City Attend
ed Hearing in Raleigh Tues
day and Probably Saved
Morehead Development
In the face of tremendous opposi
tion from the east sponsors of the
proposed establishment of a State
Port Authority Tuesday withdrew
their bill which was before the Sen-
persons went to Raleigh to oppose
consideration. Quite a large delega-
tion of Beaufort and Morehead City
persons went to Raleigh to popose
this bill but the sponsors had already
gotten wind of opposition and with
drew it hardly before the meeting
commenced.
The measure would have created a
commission to supervise and develop
all port activities in North Carolina.
Had it been passed a situation would
have arisen where a person living on
any navigable waters would not have
had authority to even build a small
wharf, or had any rights whatsoev
er regarding his watefront unless
approved by the State Port Authori
ty. Then too if the bill had passed
the chances for Morehead City to
carry through her port developments
which have alreday been approved
by the Federal Government would
have been endangered.
Appearing before the committee
were Luther Hamilton, Dr. Ben Roy -
all and Mayor Gibbs of Morehead
City and Seth Gibbs, Murray Thomas
Jr., and Wiley Taylor of Beaufort.
The bill had been introduced by
Senator J. Allen Dunn of Rowan and the office of Mayor and C. H. Bush

Mistrial Ordered in Case of
Elsie Bryan, Negress, Charg
ed With Violating Prohibi
bition Law
It took the jury 25 hours to reach
a decision, which was no decision at
all, in the case of Julia Nelson, fam
ed operator of the alleged bawdy
house "Blue Heaven" out in the Red
Light Bluffs west of Morehead City.
Polling the jurors, 11 told His Honor
Judge M. V. Barnhill that they
thought the defendant guilty, but the
12th voted for acquittal. So a mis
trial was ordered and the jury was
discharged until the June term of
Superior Court.
Helen Finley did not fare so well.
She like Julia Nelson was charged
with prostitution and assignation,
(that is the operation of a bawdy
house). It was proven that she had
come down to Carteret county, tak
en over Carolina Villa on Route 10
also in the famed Red Light Bluffs
section. The jury in her case found
the defendant guilty as charged.
Judge Barnhill gave her a 12
months sentence.

be he did listen too) but the case
was sent to a higher court.
The facts were laid before the

The jury took the case and were ap-"
