Better Financial Conditions
Than They Have Been for
Several Years. Public Spirit
Is Not Dead
Truck farmers are smiling. They
should smile because cabbage harvest
ing time is about to start and the
prices are good. Somebody said that
a farmer could sell his cabbage for
one cent a pound and come out ev
en, but this year, unless the bottom
drops out within the next few days,
Carteret cabbage growers will re
ceive four and five cents a pound.
And do the cabbage patches look
good. Of course in some sectoins they
are going to seed before heading, but
many of the crops the Beaufort News
editor has seen within the past week
reveal no yellow flowers, which in
dicates a cabbage going to seed.
If the cabbage growers get that
four and five for their crops and if
the market is good on tomatoes,
thousands and thousands of plants
have already been set out and millions
more will be started soon, the truck
farmers are going to have some real
dough in their jeans before the seas
on passes.
Merchants Are Smiling r
And they 'shoud smile. Ask any
merchant in Beaufort if business is
not good, in fact, if not better than it
was last Easter or for several East
ers, and see what his answer will be.
If he answers in the negative it is
because he has not been advertising
in the Beaufort News. And that is not
all braggadiocio. We asked them and
they said business was better and
other indications are the smiles you
see on the faces of merchants along
Front Street. If you would judge. a
merchant's business condition, look
carefully at his face, if it is a smile
you see instead of a frown you know
things are on the up and up.
And Front Street merchants are
doing good business. Proof of this
can be seen in this and all recent ed
itions of the Beaufort News. Notice
how the leading merchants have ad
ded to their advertising space. That
my readers is sure proof that condi
tions are improving.

WILL LUPTON WAS
KILLED IN WRECK
Father of 12 Children Dies in
Morehead C i t y Hospital
Three Hours After Jvs Car
Was Struck by N-S kculbus

dell and 6tti street. Arlie Fodrie who
was also in the car was seriously in
jured and is still in n critical condi
tion at the Morehead City hospital.
Dr. Royal director of the hospital
stated that he believed the youth
would survive.
Mrs. Leona Lupton was in the hos
pital for two or three days but the
extent of her injuries were not con
sidered serious, although at first it
was believed she might have been
injured internally. Miss Lula Kath
leen Lutpon, the fourth and last oc
cupant of the car received only min
or injuries. She was treated for lac
erated scalp rnd discharged from
the hospital a'jout 7:45 Saturday

were conducted at the home on the

WA TER FRONT
By AYCOCK BROWN
THAT STORY WE wrote about C.
V. Hill and the gracious gull which
dropped a fish on his dock when he
tried in town to buy one but failed
has gone the rounds. Carl Goerch
picked the story up from the Beau
fort News (he is one of our subscrib
ers) and elaborated on same during
his Sunday night broadcast from
station WPTF.
NO TELLING HOW MANY peo
pie heard Carl's broadcast, but in the
meantime the story had been given
the AP and all the State papers. The
Greensboro Daily News compared the
story with Elijah's Raven. Then some
body out in Chicago sent in a clip
ping, and no doubt others will be
coming through soon. Something that
Carl did not know or he would surely
have given Mr. Hill some free adver
tising over the radio, and that is that
in the grocery store Mr. Hill operates
one can buy Youpon Tea. His store
is probably the only one in (North
Carolina or the world that sells the
leaves, which makes a delightful bev
erage. Carl Goerch likes the land of
Youpon, and he knows that the land
of Youpon is the North Carolina
coast.
STILL DOWN IN SOUTH Ameri
ca they sell Youpon under another
name. The Spanish name is Mate.
Mate is a bracing drink. They tell me
that down there in S. A. you can buy
Mate in bottles like we buy beer and
various soft drinks in America. And
I'll bet my hat, (I'm gambling again
Rev.) that many persons who read
this will say that I am not spellnig
Youpon right. 0 well, look it up.
ONE OF THE NEATEST tricks I
have seen in any grocery store is the
fog-making humidifyer at C. D. Jones
which keeps all fresh vegetables fresh
by the gentle spray'of machine made
fog. It settles on the vegetables like
a benediction, and they look actually
fresher than when first harvested.

Two Cases Are Tried
By Judge Paul Webb
Only two cases were tried by I
Judge Paul Webb in Recorder's Court
Tuesday. Dona Lee Merrill charged
with reckless and carelessly opera
toin of an automobile and injury to
personal proerty was found not guil
ty. It seems that several months ago,
Merrill was driving a truck which ev
idence proved accidently struck and
damaged a pilot boat on the beach.
E. C. Willis was the prosecuting wit
ness, but after hearnig the evidence
Judge Webb told the court in plain
English that the County Recorder's
Court was not a collection agency in
cases of this kind, therefore the case
was dismissed.
Gordon Hardesty was found guil
ty of charges of voilatnig Sec. 1 (n)
Atr. 1 (1) and Sec. 3, Art. 11, Chap
ter 148, P. L. of 1927 as amended.
In plain English it seems that var
ious traffic violations were violated.
The case had been turned over to
Recorder's Courtf rom the City court
of Morehead. The decision of the Re
corder was, 'prayer for judgement,
1 continued upon payment of the costs.
The costs were paid.

Sunday Night
Funeral services for Mrs. Sallie
Bushall Jacobson, 45, were conduct

Paul's Episcopal church, with the
rector, Rev. Lawrence Fenwick, of
ficiating. Burial rites were conducted

Stricken with cerebral hemmorhage
late Sunday night as she walked a
long Front Street with friends, Mrs.
Jacobson was rushed to Potter's
Emergency Hospital where she died
Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
Her home was in Washington, N. C,
but since the death of her mother a
bout two years ago she has spent
much time in Beaufort visiting her
father, C. H. Bushall. She was the
wife of Carl W. Jacobson, of Wash
ington, who rushed to Beaufort when
telephoned that she had been strick
en. The esteem in which the deceased
was held by the many friends of the
family was shown by the profusion
of floral tributes. She was not a na
tive of Beaufort, but had moved here
many years ago with her family, theipi:izes to the second and third c,ass

Wachovia Almost it Tragic Fate In Lookout Bight
By AYCOCK BROWN
If the cannon ball had struck the
tiny craft, a group of Moravian im
migrants might have gone to a watery
grave in Lookout Bight. And if that
had happened, perhaps the famous
Sunrise Service in Winston-Salem
now observed each year, attracting
thousands of visitors, might not be
so elaborate or might not be at all.
Who knows?
This story is going to touch only
the high spots of an incident back in
1762, some eight years after the Mo
ravians observed their first Easter in
North Carolina. If you read it all you
will get back to the first sentence
and its meaning. '

county sports writer in picking an
all-county team added Pigott to these
two boys.
The regular lineup was: Willis and
Piner at forward, Pigott, center, and
Lewis and Rice at guard. Chadwick
substituted at forward and Simpson

will be left after Commencement.
BICYCLE RACE TO
BE MONDAY EVENT
Race Course Will Be Entrance
to Edge water Club; Starting
at Nine O'clock There Will
Be Two Classes
The big bicycle race scheduled for
Easter Monday will be held on the
boulevard entrance to Edgewater
Club instead of from Beaufort to At
lantic and return. Instead of 60
miles, the contestants will race a
round the boulevard entrance 25
times making approximately that
many miles.
Because several youngsters who
could not stand the grind that a 25
miles race will offer, Ben Jones of
Beaufort who is sponsoring the race
at Edgewater Club through the co
operation of F. M. Simmons the man
againg director, has added a prelim
inary event. This preliminary will be
open to youngsters under 15 years of
age and the winners will be awarded
prizes.
The main event will start immed
iately after the preliminary which
begins at 9 o'clock. Quite a number
of Morehead City and Beaufort boys
will enter this event. The winner in
the 25 mile classic will be awarded a
Dayton Bicycle, with valuable cycle
winners.

In Philadelphia they chartered the
23-ton sloop Elisabeth and a day or
two later drifted down the Delaware
with the outgoing tide. They were
delayed a few days later at Louis

Elisabeth's bow southward towards
Cape Hatteras, bound for the Cape

The Elisabeth ran into a storm off
Cape Hatteras and barely escaped
being wrecked on the dangerous
shoals there. After the blow they
were able to head south and some 12

land somewhere north of Frying Pan

Over Thirty Fire Millions Of
Plants JVill Move Out Of This
Qounty 'During Next Few Weeks
THROUGH STATE
Capital Keyholes
By BESS HINTON SILVER
ANGER Senator John T. Burrus,
of Guilford County, apparently still
can't forget his primary campaign
and some folk believe he is preparing
to jump into the race for Governor
along with Lieutenant Governor A.
H. Graham, Clyde R. Hoey and all
comers. Charging that the revenue de
partment and the highway depart
ment of the State tried to defeat him,
Burrus predicted that the next Gov
ernor of this State will not be a sales
taxes. Some political wise-acres in
terpreted his speech in the State
Senate as the opening gun in his cam
paign for Governor.
MUD Senator Carl Bailey, of
Washington County wants the world
to know that he is opposed to diver
sion of highway funds under the
plan of 'Senator Newman, Chairman
of the Senate finance committee and
others, to levy the three per cent
sales tax against gasoline and take
the cash out of money collected un
der the State's present six per cent
per gallon gasoline tax. "I will be op
posed to any diversion until my peo
ple are taken out of the mud," Sena
tor Bailey told the Upper Branch of
the General Assembly. His people are
still in the mud and it will be still
muddier in his home county of Wash
ington if highway money is spent on
all the things that have been advanc
ed before this session of the Legisla
ture. GOOD STORY Here's one that's
being told around the State Capitol
these days. Senator Harriss Newman,
chairman of Senate finance commit
tee, of Jewish blood, (according to
the story) was talking to Representa
tive Tarn C. Bowie, of Ashe. "I
like the Jews very much", Bowie is
reported to have Baid, adding, "I am
going to run for the United States
Senate." Whereupon Newman is said
to have replied. "I like the Gentiles
very much, Mr. Bowie, and I am go
ing to run for Lieutenant Governor."
Believe it or not, but it makes a good
story.

Dr. F. G. Walton-Smith of London,

Dr. Walton-'Smith is a graduate of
the University of London. Although a

Over Five Million Cabbage
Plants Have Been Shipped
Alreadv. Emil Cutscher. Na
tive of Stuttgartj Germany, is
Manager of This Farm in
Carteret and he Has an In
teresting Stroy to Tell Some
time About his War Exper
iences. During the past few days over
5,000,000 cabbage plants have been
shipped by the F. C. Stokes Company
farm near the North River road The
bulk of these shipments were con
signed to Woodville, N. J., headquar
ters of the plant growing btokes
firm. But this is only a drop in the
bucket, as compared to the plants
which will be shipped before many
weeks have passed.
In addition to cabbage plants, the
Carteret farm produces tomato, broc
coli, brussel sprouts and pepper
plants. Like the cabbage, most of
these are shipped direct to the Wood
ville distributing center but thous
ands of crates are consigned direct
to growers throughout the country.
The Carteret farm at this time is
employing over 100 persons. They are
engaged day and night packing plants
for shipment. While many are ship
ped by motor trucks, a great many
are shipped by railway express.
Emil Gutscher, native of Stuttgart,
Germany is manager of the local
farm. He has been in America for the
past 11 years. During the World War
he was a Lieutenant in a Machiine
Gun company of the German army.
He has led an interesting life, a story
of which will soon be published in the
Beaufort News if the editor can ev
er find time to go out for an inter
view. PAVING IS STOPPED ON OLD
BEAUFORT-NEW BERN ROUTE
With the discovery that the road
bed on the old Beaufort-New Bern
highway is faulty, the paving of seven
miles, involving $83,000, has tempor
arily ceased.
The contract wa3 let before survey
of the road had been made, accord
ing to highway officials. When the ac
tual paving started, near Core creek,
the heavy asphalt trucks broke thru
the roadbed surface. This was said to
be due to the failure to remove
stumps or logs in the roadbed when
the highway was first constructed
several years ago.
Local State Highway officials say
that work will be resumed in about
two months, but in the meantime ad
ditional appropriations must be mad
for properly grading the road bed.
Mountain farmers of Graham
County have purchased 5,800 pounds
of lespedeza seed for demonstration
plantings this season.
