RAILROAD t t Wkat Other I PAPERS ARE SAYING v THE BEAUFORT RAIL LINE Discussing the future of that short rail line between Beaufort and More head City when the Norfolk South ern, which owns that line, discontin ues the operation of th Atlantic and North Carolina road, the Golds- boro News-Argus is of th belief that the road may some day torm an im portant link in a rail lins to one ot the finest ports on the Atlantic coast one which may be developed at Cape Lookout. The people of Beaufort "very prop erly" think that something should be done so that the rail connection may be maintained from their town to the terminus of the North Carolina rail road at Morehead City, ays the News Argus. Why not, the paper asks, let the Norfolk Southern give this short stretch of line which it writs to get rid of to the Atlantic and North Car olina? Residents of this section know the history of efforts to secure a bridge to Harker's Island and on to Cape Lookout. Prospects of a highway bridge, at least to Harker's Island, have appeared better recently than ever in the past, and there is the as surance that one will eventually be built. Once a highway bridge is built, developments will follow. The port development at Morehead City will contribute to and develop a vol ume of shipping which may eventual ly make the Cape Lookout port one of industrial importance as well as a harbor of refuge. The News-Argus suggestion as to the possible greater importance of the short rail line in the future is one of which merits consideration; (un Journal). Captain Dickson Catches Pompano Capt. Clarence Dickson of Salter Path while hauling a net in the ocean near that village caught 1,700 pounds of Pompano yesterday.

The offices will be located in the Paragon building. . William Dunn, Sr., of New Bern, one of the committee, unalterably opposed Morenead as the general of fice headquarters but his views in that respect were voted down two to one by other members namely: U.

But is was learned today from a reliable source that it might be a few days later before act''. op eration under A. and N. C. m&nage ment begins. Mr. Crowell, general manager of the railroad stated early this week that he was not ready to announce his personnel of assistants, but it was learned today that E. W.

Drum Inlet Can Be Made Permanent At Small Cost Beaufort Grid Stars Defeated Ayden Team In Close Game Friday With outstanding plays on the part of Chadwick, Brooks and Beveridge last Friday afternoon in Ayden, Coach Dellinger's 'Sea-Dogs' were vic torious but only by a small margin. The game was played in Ayden and the score was 7 to 6. In the first quarter Ayden made five of their total of eight first downs pushing the "Sea-dogs" against the wall, but the local team did not give up but fought their way back to the middle of the field. During the second quarter, Ayden staged another touchdown drive only to be stopped very close to the goal line. Beaufort got the ball and failed in the punt which was blocked by Satterwaite of Ayden and received over the goal line for a touch down. The second half of game started with both teams playing about even, neither gaining any headway, but in the fourth and final quarter, Brooks and Beveridge go tthe ball and see sawing down the field it was finally taken across by Brooks for six points. The filed was muddy and playing was , difficult, losing the ball several times to be recovered each time by hte punt blocking by Chadwick and Cardwell. Beaufort threatened to score several times, and won only by making their point after touch down, which Ayden failed to do, thus giving a margin of one in the final score.

Port Terminal Work To Begin Before November First, Says MnBeaman Covering The WATEM FMION1 By AYCOCK BROWN THE CHISLOM, 205 Foot barge which lay at anchor about a quarter of a mile north of the Morehead City draw on Newport River for two or three days this week passed south ward through the Beaufort draw ear ly this morning with a tug along side and apparently, plenty of room to spare. The Chislom hails from Philadelphia and is owned by the Southern Transportation Company of N. J. It was reported earlier in the week that this vessel had wired the War Department protesting about the closed railroad draw on the More head City side. There was some spec ulation about whether the cutter ramlico could get through the draws on this side. She passed through with about 15 feet clearing space on either side. The Pamlico is 30 feet wide, the Chislom is 32. WHAT SEEMS STRANGE to a ereat manv people is the fact that the railroad draw on the Morehead City side went out of c ommission with a broken pivot on the morning of the port terminal letting and 10 mornings before the date the ICC will set a hearing for the proposed abandonment of this 3.17 miles of track that we have been fighting to retain. Any body can look at that draw and readily see that it is an an tique type but why., couldn't . this trouble have happened say last year or next year or anytime except at this particular time?

If government engineers ignore this in let it will in all probabilities close again before many years or continue to be of little service to navigation interests because of the lack of deep water. Senator Josiah W. Bailey has been very much interested in Drum Inlet and hopes to make it permanent with government money. In a letter to the editoT of this newspaper, Senator Bailey says thatt he "town of Atlan tic is directly related to Drum Inlet and the fishing interests" but read the complete letter. It follows: "The town of Atlantic is an impor tant town from many points of view. It is directly related to Drum Inlet and the fishing interests and the game interests in a large section. It does not have deep water at its dock or against its shore line. The engineers at Washington have calculated that it will cost only $10,000.00 to get this down to deep water necessary, and they have further estimated this will be worth $7,500.00 a year. I know of no better investment for the Govern ment to make and no more worthy lo cal enterprise. I am glad to say the Kjgineers have approved the project, rand I think the matter of getting I the proper depth of water right up to the shore line is only a matter of of this inlet tends to produce clams, scallaps nda also to bring large num bers fish into the Sound.
