STATE HIGHWAY PROJECT It Will be First Time That Experi ments of This Kind Have Ever Been Conducted and if Successful Will Lower Approach to Bridge About Five Feet Over 1,000 pounds of dynamite planted beneath the approach to Broad Creek bridge is scheduled to be fired at a single blast toady and if the experiment is successful mud and muck will be blown from beneath the road bed and the road will be lower ed about five feet. It is the first ex periment of the kind ever conducted in this section and the unique feature of it all is that the present road bed will not be blown to pieces as one would expect. That is the road bed will not be blown to pieces unless the experiment is a failure. The blast today will mate a piker of those conducted at Money Island Beach recently by a powder expert of the DuPont company. Only a small quantity of powder or dynamite was necessary to knock the domes off of those sand dunes. The biggest blast of all used only a hundred or two pounds of dynamite. But yet those blasts created quite a sensation for eye witnesses. Sand was thrown high into the air. The road project exper iments today will not throw dirt or sand into the air. As a matter of fact it will throw the entire road a few feet into the air, without destroying same, and then it will settle down a gain on a firm base which before was muck and mud. i J. H. Allen, Hercules Powder Com pany expert of Birmingham, Ala.,, is here to conduct the experiments. He was brought to Carteret county by N. C. State Highway officials. Ap proaches to both bridges on the Morehead-Jacksonville roads in Car teret county will be lowered by. the use of dynamite, according to local road officials. Last of Tomato Crop Canned This Week Two hundred and sixty cases of tomatoes were canned and employ ment was given to about 35 persons this week in the plant recently com pleted by Fred Seeley, president of the Chamber of Commerce. That wound up the 1935 tomato crop and unless the farmers plant beans or other vegetables during the autumn, the plant might be idle for some time.

New York's First Negro Policeman Was Born In Slavery Near Beaufort Funeral services for Pierre Henry, former slave who fought with the Union forces during the War of the Confederacy, were conducted in Brooklyn, N. Y., a few days ago. He was 83 years old and died in a U. S. Veterans hospital in the Bronx. He was buried with military honors, by the Spanish War Veterans at Ever green cemetery in Brooklyn. Pierre Henry was born in Beaufort in the slave quarters of William C. Bell, a prominent landowner at the time. His mother was freed after the signing of the Emancipation Procla mation in 1863, but, with her eleven year old son, remained to serve the Bells. A short time later, however, the Union forces took Beaufort, and young Pierre wandered into the Yan kee camp. He applied for work and was assigned as a powder monkey to the U. S. S. Forward. He remained in North Carolina, (Coninued on page eight) CoW'S'tnti The By AYCOCK BROWN M. MAXWELL, SALES represen tative for the Frank L. Wright Distill ery Company dropped by the office this week to learn if the Beaufort News was interested in carrying liq uor advertising. We told him that we were interested in carrying any sort of advertisement just so it was legal and just so we could get our usual rate per column inch for -same. Mr, Maxwell, a resident of Kinston, said that his firm sold Sherbrook and Maryland Hunt Club brands of fine straight rye whiskey. He had no samples with him the day he dropped by to see us. IT SEEMS TO ME that passengers and mail would come first with rail road operators. But such seems not the. case. Almost every day the noon train spends about 15 minutes or more shifting box cars down at the freight depot before reaching the passenger station. And we have heard plenty of people locally kick about the situation. (Coninued on page eight) The Recorder Did Not Have A Very Busy Day Throp oases were tried. Four were continued to future sessions of Re corder's Court. Claud Brooks charged with abandonment and ron support was eiven a six months suspended sentence. He must pay his wife $10 before August 17, and $15 per month from fhpn on. He must also pay the medical expense involved in the preg nane of hia wife, the prosecuting witness in the abandonment and non support case. Alfred S. Jones was fined $25 and costs when found guilty of driving while drunk. A similar charge against Jones Bivens cost the defendant the privilege of operating an automobile on the highways of the State for a period of 90 days and he must pay the costs in the case. Jack Greer, Reubin George, Cal Whaley and Rob ert Whaley will be tried at future sessions of recorder's court for var ious charges against them. Gulf Stream Anglers Caught Several Fish Ten Dolphin and one amberjack were landed Monday by a party that sailed to the Gulf Stream aboard Edgewater Club's chartered schooner The Luther M. Werner under the command of Capt William Casey Fair leigh S. DicTcinson, Jr., of Rutherford, N. J. landed the amberjack which weighed 30 pounds and was the big gest fish taken during the day.

Powell of New York, Jack Taylor, of Boston; Miss Lois Lee of Durham, Miss Ruth Lewis, Mr. Allen O'Bryan, and Miss Mary Ana Taylor of Beaufort PLANE - CAR CRASH ON BEACH No One Injured in This Unusual Wreck A Beaufort News representative made the above photo less than 30 sec onds after a plane piloted by Allen Huffman of Michigan landed and crash ed into a parked car on Atlantic Beah, August 4. Mr. and Mrs. William Dunford, sitting in the car escaped injury, as did Pilot Huffman and his passengers which he had carried aloft on a barnstorming flight. Dunford shown in driver's seat of car probably escaped serious cuts from the fly ing glass of windshield because he had a towel wrapped around his head. The person standing up in the back seat is Mrs. Dunford and the figure in white next to plane is Pilot Huffman.

Noe and Noah are used in the Bible for the same family and the nam, has come down through history and is tr&"id by many nations. This branch of tne family, and there are two or three branches in Beaufort, is still running true to tradition. There j are four ministers and a boat cap tain. The living children of John T. B. and Susan Stanton Noe are Rev. Thomas P. Noe, Superintendent of the Church Home, York, S. C; Capt. John Noe of Beaufort, Rev. Alex. C. D. Noe, rector of St. James church,. Ayden; lie v. Walter R.

Austin of High Point landed a 50-pound tarpon while fish ing at Drum Shoal in the Pamlico Sound near Ocracoke Tuesday night. Less than a half dozen tarpon have been taken with rod and reel along the central Carolina coast and Mrs. Austin has the distinction of being the first woman to successfully land one. She was fishing with Capt. Gary Bragg, veteran guide and hotel op erator at the time the catch was made. The fish measured four feet eight inches from tip to tip and weighed 5.0 pounds. It was quite a battle to land the tarpon .which put-up a good j fight for freedom, staying in the air a good part of the time. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE NEWS $1.50 A YEAR - It tot it , R f Family .

G-Will Convene When Governor Returns Ocracoke Deer Goes To Inn After Sugar And Starts A Fight But the deer did not do the fight ing. As a matter of fact the deer was captured without any trouble by Maultby Bragg. Maultby is one of Ocracoke's strong men an da good person to be friendly with down on Ocracoke if you are expecting to get into a fight some time. Maultby is a good deer catcher too. It all happened a few days ago. The deer belongs to Stanly Wahab. The Wahabs are descended from an Arabian sailor wrecked on Ocracoke in 1767. Stanley and a party of friends crippled, then caught the deer out near Atlantic last Fall. He car ried it to Ocracoke and gave it to his mother, Mrs. Martha Ann Wahab. She has gotten the deer quite gentle by feeding it regularly in the pen built out back of the Wahab home. He escapes quite often though, and heads for the Inn, where it is report ed he is fed sugar by the summer vacationists stopping there.

Aug. 16 All business reports for early August show improvement over July and an 'encouraging gain over August of last year. Again let me say that I am very ; optimistic on the outlook for business this fall. For the past two years con jsumer industries have been the main stay of trade. Activity in the con sumer group, however, is now being i supported by revival in the heavy industries. This is the most impor tant development since business start ed uphill in March; 1933. J There is, however, still at least one fly in the ointment, namely, I the chaotic condition of foreign : trade. Further advances in both the consumer and heavy industries could probably boost business above the X-Y normal line on the Babsonchart, :but I seriously doubt if we can ever .have an era of real prosperity with l out a revival in world trade. As I jlook back over the last thirty years, I can see an alarming growth of eco nomic islation throughout the world. Inventors have brought the nations closer together by breaking down geographic obstacles; but politicians have separated them again by erect ing economic barriers. (Continued on pnge sevon) DUCKS GET LUCKY j BREAK THIS YEAR I Director J. N. ("Ding") Darling, of the U. S. Biological Survey has 'lamped several new restrictions on Iduck and geese hunters this year. 'iWhile it will work a hardship, per haps, on many professional guides in the Core and Pamlico Sound areas, I it is really a lucky break for the 'ducks. The season this year opens on ! November 20 and closes December 1 19. The new laws briefly are: j No sink boxes or sneak boats for jopen water gunning; no blind of any kind more than 100 feet from shore. No gunning over baited water or ground. I No live decoys. No more than three shells in a i gun, and no gun lai'ger than 10 guage j Bag limits; ten ducks and four ' geese or brant per day. No more than one day's bag limit allowed in possession at any time. No shooting before 7 a. m. or af ter 4 p. m. FIREMEN SAVED CHADWICK HOME Flames which threatened the Carl Chadwick home near the intersection of Front and Turner streets this af ternoon about 2:30 o'clock were quick ly extinguished by Beaufort's fire department By checking the flames they probably saved several other buildings in that vicinity. The blazr started' on he roof, probably the re sult; of flying sparks from a chimney So Far No Action Has Been Taken by Committee Compos ed of Dr. J. I. Joyner, Wil liam Dunn and U. M. Gilli kin Who Were Appointed to Make Arrangements for In dependent Operation JOB-SEEKERS NUMEROUS Many Applications Are Filed With Luther Hamilton, President of the Road; A. & N. C. Owes Much Back Taxes Which Must Be Paid Before PWA Loan is Available For Port Terminal Luther Hamilton, president of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad company has been swamped with ap plications from job seekers. At one time or another during the past week every sort of job from station porter on up to general superintendent and traffic managers. The applications are duly filed, but it is probable that no manager will be employed until Gov ernor Ehringhaus and his family re turn from Canada where they have gone to see the Dionne Quintuplets and spend their vacation. On the committee to make arrange- jments for the independent operation 'of the railroad are: William Dunn, jDr J. I. Joyner, LaGrange and U. M. 'Gillikin of Goldsboro. They will work along with President Hamilton and ' Governor Ehringhaus who are ex i officio members of the committee Ex I officio Member Ehringhaus has recom mended to the committee that one of the most efficient and experienced 'railroad men in the country be hired to serve as superintendent of the 'line. i (Coninued on page eight) Mortician's Assistant Kills Big Rattlesnake Hubert Fodrie, assistant to Mr. W. E. Adair local mortician killed a huge rattlesnake out near Smyrna this week. The snake measured 59 inches in length and had a girth measure ment of seven inches.Hubert failed to get the rattles or maybe there were none, but the snake was brought back to Beaufort and everyone who saw it, shuddered and said, "if is a whopper." There are many rattlesnakes and other species too out in the Eastern pai't of the county. The editor of the Beaufort News on a recent trip to .Bettie came near to stepping on a huge black-snake that lay coiled in the path leading to the home of the pei-son who had charge of the polls for Control voting recently.
