Lipman's Store On Front Street
On May 9, Beaufort firemen saved the Denoyer building on Front
Street, when flames destroyed much of the stock in the store rented by
Sam Lipman and Sons following a blaze, originating on the balcony. A
few days ago the Lipman firm moved back into the building. Sometime
last night a short circuit caused, according to persons working in the
store, to defective wiring, would probably have set fire to the building a
gain, except for the metal ceiling. Electricity caused by the short circuit
burned through the metal part of a drop light dropping from the ceiling.

much sunshine. Result was that on
Saturday he was talking more about

there. The Goerch's have taken the

was landed early this morning by
Capt. Jack Willie, who runs the fer

beauty tipped the scales at seven and
a half pounds.
Since the construction oi tne
bridge to Piver's Island the ferry
service has not been so good for
Capt. Jack and he has had more time
to devote to fishing. He knows where
the best sheepshead grounds are lo
cated and ha not only made some
good catches this season himself but
has taken visiting sheepsheaders to
the location and they have landed
fish. The best bait known for sheeps
head is a mud-fiddler and that was
what Capt. Jack was using this morn
ing when he landed the seven and a
half pounder.
NAT RUSSELL IS
GETTING BETTER
Word received from New Bern to
dav indicated that the condition of
Nat Russell, local resident and engi
neer on the streamlined railbus is
much improved. His physician Dr. R.
N. Duffy stated that it is very pos
sible that Mr. Russell will regain his
vision, lost when acids snlashed into
his eyes following a collision Tuesday
morning between the bus and a truck
loaded with brick. Minor scalp lacer
ations are also considered as not
serious. Ten passengers were injured
in the wreck and John Mumford.
Negro driver of the truck of bricks
is also reported as not in a serious
condition. Followine the accident.
Mrs. Russell went to New Bern to be
at the bedside of her injured hus

Until the official count was made
on Tuesday which showed 1547 vot
ini? for and 1004 aeainst control the
state at large thought the Carteret
Control vote was doubtful. Luther
Hamilton who knows his politics and
voters, predicted after hearing from
six of the 26 precincts last Saturday
night that the majority would be be
tween five and six hundred. The ae
tual majority was 543.
Chairman K. P. Bonner by tele
phone late Wednesday told the Beau
fort News that the County Uommis
sinners would meet possibly on Fri
day to appoint the Control Board. If
the Control Board is appointed Fri
day, there is a possibility -f legal
liquor by Saturday of the fo. wing
week. This all depends upon .low
fast the board works.
A county official stated that while
it would be left up to the control
board for the establishment of stores,
that as many as needed would start
business. He predicted that probably
three, one for Beaufort, Morehead
and Newport would begin operating
at first with additional stores if the
various precincts requested them.
Tabulation of voting of different pre
cincts will be found elsewhere m

The Real Road to Jobs
Babson Park Mass., July 12 Ma
chine tool orders have reached a new ,
high for the recovery period. This;
ificant for it means that'
the heavy industries such as building,
machinery, equipment, iron and steel,
and the like are finally beginning io
take on workers. For two years the
core of the unemployment problem
has been in these industries, uence,
T v!pw this improvement as one ot
the most optimistic indicators in the
business outlook today.
Consumer vs Heavy Goods
Roughly, industry is divided into
two major classes heavy, or capital
o-nnds! and consumer goods. Capital
goods are those which last for a long
time such as houses, bridges, loco
motive, and machinery. Consumer
goods are those which are used up
immediately such as paper, shoes,
Ipleetricitv. food, and clothing. The
consumer goods, which are mostly
necessities, are by far more stable.
They experienced only a relatively
minor drop in activity between 1929
and 1933. Because the heavy goods
are durable, nurchases can be post
poned temporarily until the business
outlook is more favorable Hence,
the number of workers in capital
goods concerns declined sharply dur
ing the depression.
