Incumbent Officials Are
Swept Back Into Office
By Overwhelming Victory
Happy Is The Man That Findeth Wisdom,
And the Man That Getteth Understanding" Proverbs 3:13
Beaufort
An overwhelming majority was
registered in the municipal election
here Tuesday for incumbent officials,
from the Mayor's office on down to
the Chief of Police's post. Of approx
imately 1,000 persons qualified to
vote, according to City Clerk Murray
Thomas, 851 cast ballots. The num
ber this year fell below the 1933
voting when 917 cast ballots.
Bayard Taylor was re-elected may
or, winning over C. H. Bushall with a
vote of 486 to 343 or a majority of
143. Thia particular race had people
guessing before election day. In 1933
when the same candidates were run
ning for office Taylor chalked up
only a 79 majority over Bushall. But
Bushall did exceptionally well con
sidering the fact that he was playing
a sort of lone, hand in his campaign
Morehead
It was a landslide for incumbent
officials in Morehead City's munici
pal election on Tuesday. A total of
1,027 votes were cast or 24 less than
the number casting ballots in the
biennial election in 1933. H. S. Gibbs,
incumbent may or candidate for re
election to the office in which he has
served for two years, was given a
large majority over the two oppos
ing candidates, G. W. Piner and M.
S. Lee. Piner received only 82 votes,
Lee 139 both of which was small
change as compared to Gibbs' 786.
The next hottest race in Morehead
was for the office of Chief of Police.
J. N. Willis was given 808 votes,
which proves his popularity.
George G. Nelson, a former chief of
police was in the race but with only
209 votes, it is apparent that he was

started in Lipman s btore.
Shortly before the Beaufort
News went to press the local
fire department had the blaze
under control, and while the
building was not damaged to
any extent, much of the stock,
valued at several thousand dol
lars was destroyed or ruined by
smoke and water.
Milton Lipman, manager of the
store told a reporter that he 'carried
a little insurance.' He did not know
how the blaze started, stating that
the first he knew of it was when a
woman customer rushed in and told
where the blaze apparently started,
If it had not been for the assist
ance rendered by local citizens much
more of thes tock would have been
ruined. A great many jumped in and
helped move the shoes, clothings and
other merchandise out the back door
to a place of safety or into adjoining
buildings.
The Fire Department deserves a
lot of credit for halting what might
have been a disastrous blaze for Beau

Quite a number of forest fires have
been raging in. Carteret county re
cently. With no fire warden protec
tion, the case usually, when a fire
gets underway, is for it to burn itself
out killing untold thousands of young
plantlings, and in many cases virgin
timber. Fires recently have raged in
the Marshalllberg, Open Grounds,
Harlowe and Crab Point sections. It
has been estimated that already this
year fires have burned over thous
ands of acres in Carteret county.
Something should be done about it,
we all agree, but what? No one
seems to take much interest in fires
and firewarden service until some of
their own lands become the scene of
a conflagration, then it is too late.
Not only has timber and younj
forests been destroyed, but at this
