Edgewater Club, And all More

Have Had Exceptionally
Good Patronage During Late
Spring
It is a safe prediction that the
1935 season will be the biggest along
Carteret's coast since before the late
depressoin and probably even better,
judging from present indications. We
mean by present indications that
thousands of tourists have already
been down this year and that all ho
tels in Morehead City and Beaufort
have been having exceptionally good
pre-season patronage.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening on Saturday of the Atlantic
Beach hotel, the swankiest place of its
kind along the Carolina coast, R. W.
Cordon, managing director of Atlan
tic bench properties has announced,
asserting that he is expecting the
greatest season the resort has ever
experienced. Dave Burnside's orches
tra will be one of the feature attrac
tions on opening day, playing for the
danct to be staged Saturday night.
Paul Tremnin and his Columbia or

Bladen bombshell that exploded more
than once in 1935 House of Represen

dvnamite under his Bladen county
political enemies in the 1937 Senate.
Page avows he will be elected to the
Upper Branch and plans to get a
man of his own thinking in the
House. Then he hopes to sweep the
"Elizabethtown ring" clean. During
the recent session Page and Sena
tor Bunn Prink, of Southport, cross

SUMMERSILI Down in the Third
District you can find plenty of peo
ple to tell you that State Senator
Ed iSummersill, of Onslow, .s going
to attempt to unhorse Congressman
"Hap" Barden in the primaries next
spring. Barden is a first-termer
but he proved himself a popular
man in over-coming formidable op
position in 1932. Summersill is a
young man but no novice at the game
of politics and if the pair lock horns
It will be an affair worth witnessing.

About 75 Car Loads Have
Moved by Rail From Beau
fort so Far With Heavy
Shipments Daily by Truck
And Boat Lines
PRICE TODAY $1.60 & $1.75
Potato growers of Carteret coun
ty are getting some mighty fine
spuds, but the average yield per
acre this year is far less than last
season. Last year the yield was
nearly 100 barrels to the acre. Cause
of the decrease this season may be
due to being hurt by cold weather,
but most of the crop dug so far have
been prime 6puds.
The local price today, (F.O.B.
Beaufort) was $1.60 t0 $1.75 per
barrel. Digging is being carried on
in all sections of East Carteret and
many workers are getting employ
ment as the result.
Rail officials stated that approxi
mately 75 car loads have left over
Norfolk Southern tracks but this
does not include hundreds of truck
poads and cargoes by boat that have
moved marKetwara.
Gladiolus Are Shipped
Daily from Hayne Farm
To The Northern Marts
If you have never seen a quar
ter of a million gladiolus bulbs inthe
spikeing stage you should visit the S.
E. Hayne farm, just off the Atlantic
highway about three miles east of
Beaufort. We didn't know what
'spikeing' meant either, until this
week when Mr. Hayne explained it
all.
The Hayne farm makes a business
of raising the flowers for northern
markets. They cannot be shipped
after blooming, but have to be cut
and iced while in - the 'spikeing' or
budding stage. They are shipped via
express, and at wholesale bring at
the present time about 50 cents per
dozen.
Quite often the spikes get ahead of
the grower and when such is the case
they are cut and bundled for sale on
the farm to vistiors. And many vis
itors go to the farm each year to
see how flowers are grown on a large
scale. Mr. and Mrs. Hayne are glad
to have visitors.
Party Aboard 'Idle-On'

weighing from one and a half to two
and a half pounds that had been
caught by the trolling method. Good

J and parties and it was the first time
this season they had been caught in
any numbers.

over this week and Capt. John and
the editor of this newspaper were
trying to learn the name of a pretty
little blonde actress that joined the
party later, but all we learned was
that she was from New York and ap
parently traveling incognito.
RATTLESNAKE IN
MACHINE DRAWER
Mrs. Leslie Springle who lives in
the Russell Creek area opened the
drawer of her sewing machine this
week and out came a rattlesnake.
Such was the story going the rounds
on Front Street early today. How
the snake got into the drawer could
not be determined. Some member
of the family killed the snake before
it bit anyone. It had one rattle and
one button on its tail and n0 telling
how much venom in its fants.
