For His Part in Murdering a Negro Murderer in Carteret Count y About Thirty Five Years Ago Carteret county's only lynching oc ccurrcd during the summer of 1900. Louis Patrick, Negro, murdered Eli jah Weeks, a store keeper at Bogue, N. C, was tracked to Craven county line captured and brought to Beau fort in custody of late Sheriff Alvin Willis. The following afternoon a sail boat from Bogue sound with a mob aboard who had disguised themselves by use of lamp black, moored at a lo cal wharf, went to the jail, removed Patrick in chains, took him to Dog Island near the scene of the murder, hung him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. Most everyone had forgotten about the lynching un til Sheriff Elbert Chadwick received pat t ia the lynching. Whip-Ray Fishing Has Been Good Oft Inlet Inn Wharf This Week Some of the whip-ray or sting-rays as they are commonly called by most people weighed up to 125 pounds and to g"t one ashore with rod and reel was quite a job. Many a person has lost tackled down at the wharf this week because they did not play their catche just right. The most success ful way to catch a sting-ray is to use heavv cord or litrht rope but it is not much sDort catching them that way. Jack Windley did not use a heavy cord, instead his outfit was regular surf casting tackle. Several people who saw the sting ray strike his line predicted that he would nev er get it ashore. But he did get it ashore and did not break his tackle, despite the fact that he lost a good tarpon hook that could not be gotten out of the sting-ray's stomach. It is the first time this year that any sting rays have been caught at the wharf. While it was generally be lieved that a large school of them had come into the harbor this week for some reason or another Dr. Prythe rch of the Fisheries Laboratory be lieves they are always there as they like to feed on garbage and such that is dumped overboard. Unless one is cornered they are harmless, despite their posionous sting. BIGHT APPLY FOR JOBS AS MANAGER But A. & N. C.

HEN LAYS TWO EGGS AT ONCE A black Leghorn hen owned by Capt. Henry Noe has broken all rec ords for egg laying. Unless you see the curiosity yourself it is unbeliev able that a little black hen could ac complish such a feat. Several days a go the little hen lay an egg about the same size of a goose egg. It weighed six ounces. That in itself was an accomplishment for the hen but when the egg was boiled a few days later it was broken open and in side of the larger shell which Con tained both yolk and white was an other egg a natural size hen egg with a hard shell. No one around these parts had ever heard of such a thing and the chances are that Mr. Ripley, the 'Believe it or Not' artist will pick the story up.

Officer Nelson Gets Convic tion in Three of Four Cases Taken To Court for Violating ABC Laws. Ira Garner will be manager of Carteret's third and last ABC store which opens in Newport Saturday morning, Charles L. Skarren, disburse ment official stated today. The New- port store will be operated by only one person, being supplied with stock from the local warehouse. Since the opening of county stores on July 31 over $6,000 worth of liquor has been sold, it was stated. Enforcement Officer George Nel son is making some headway in his work. Of four defendants he appre hended and brought into Recorder's Court on Tuesday three were convict ed and sentenced to serve 12 months on the roads.. The defendants were: Zeb Foy and Stanley Lockhart, oper ators of the barbecue stand about 100 yards west of King Watson's for mer location and Farley Small opera tor of the Log Cabin, in Moreehad Bluffs. Each defendant appealed to higher court and Foy and Lockhart were placed under bonds of $500 each and Small under bond of $750. Effie Garner of the Lee Garner sec tion was charged with manufacture of Home Brew.

Until she is tried she is under bond of $500. The loquor stores are operating smoothly. At the present time the stock of goods sent to county on con signment and in the warehouse at Beaufort represents a total value of approximately $25,000, Mr. Skarren stated. Beaufort May Have Dial Phones Soon But the board of aldermen are not jumping into the proposed change in the local telephone system until they are convinced that it will be an as set instead of a liability. Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company officials have had two or three meet ings with the Beaufort town commis sioners and at the last which occur red a few days ago the matter was deferred until the next monthly meeting. If installed the dial phones would cost the subscribers 50 cents more per month, but the toll charges between Morehead City and Beaufort would be eliminated. It would mean that one central office would take care of the two towns but it would also in all probabilities mean that those employed in the local telephone office at present would be dismissed from service. The additional cost per month might not be objected to by the majority of subscribers but Beaufort would hate ot see the local employees lose their jobs. Turn to page 2
