age. Many local persons had hoped the
hearing would be conducted in the
courthouse at Beaufort but such was
not the case. Regardless of where it
is held though, there will be a large
delegation of citizens present vigor
ously protesting the proposed aban
donment of the Beaufort and West
ern by the Norfolk-Southern. Exam
iner Molster of the I.C.C. will preside
at the hearing.
Contrary to reports that have been
circulated, Morehead City is almost
wholeheartedly in favor of the rail
road for Beaufort, according to in
formation gained from many of the
citizens there this week. Judge Paul
Webb, (who incidentally is one of
the directors of the A. and N. C.)
stated that he was wholeheartedly in
favor of Beaufort and her railroad
and that he was ready, as a director
of the company to voice his opinion.
"Beaufort needs a railroad and so
does Eastern Carteret county, and I
don't mind telling the world that I am
for the continued operation of same,'
whether by the A. and N. C, the
Norfolk Southern or any other com
pany," is the way Judge Webb feels
about the matter.
Luther Hamilton, president of the
A. and ;N. C. stated today that in a
conference with Governor Ehringhaus
von Tuesday he stressed the impor
tance of the road to eastern Carter
et county and declared that Beaufort
must keep her railroad. Governor
Ehringhaus has also promised his
support.
Both President Hamilton and Gov
ernor Ehringhaus have stated that
the actual operation of the railroad
would be left up to general manager
H. P. Crowell. "Mr. Crowell is the
person, Beaufort business men should
contact with facts and figures, it
was stated by Mr. Hamilton, who ad
ded that he was ready to cooperate in
any manner possible to help the peo
ple of Beaufort with their railroad
problem.
In the Tribune of New Bern today
was printed a communication from
Stacy Wade, Morehead City's gift to
North Carolina officialdom, (he is
Secretary of State) and he blared
that the railroad into Beaufort - ught
to stay in operation. He pointed out

The Pinta, Nina And Maria. 1492
Four hundred and forty three years ago (Oct. 12, 1492) Christopher
Columbus and his fleet 'discovered' this country. Or history gives them
credit for it. Very little credit goes to sturdy Scandinavian fishermen
who probably were fishing along our coast a thousand years ago. But
let Columbus have the credit for it because it gives a good historical back
ground for a Church that has played a part in world affairs since a
very early date. Or we might be wrong.
P. H. Rose
In 1915 he established the first
Rose Store. Today the chain which he
heads has 89 stores with others sched
uled to open soon. (More about
Rose Stores on pages 11 and 12.)
TRAGEDY
We might be wrong too when we
say that 32 years after Columbus and
his group 'discovered America' or in
the year 1523-24, Francis the First
of France fitted out an expedition to
the new world under John Verraz
zani, a skilful Florentine navigator
and the first land they made was what
is now Bogue Banks, in the month, of
May, 1524. After cruising to the
southward along the coast of Georgia
and exploring same, he retracedjhis
course until he encountered and far
tially surveyed Beaufort harbor.- He
may have at that early date seenHhe
future possibilities of a port term
inal for this section. He and his crew
came ashore too, and years later oth
er explorers found blue-eyed Indians
in this section. That fact alone might
indicate something.
. Then too, in the year 1520, or 28
years after Columbus did hi3 discov
ering and 64 years before Sir Walter
Raleigh's Armidas and Barlow "dis
covered" Roanoke Island, one Lucas
Vasquez d'Ayllon, a Spanish voyager
is supposed to have visited our beau
tiful harbor of Beaufort.' But he
with most of his followers were sub
sequently massacred by the Indians
about 120 miles to the southwest.
Maybe blue eyed Indians of the fu
ture caused brown eyed Indians of
that day to commit the crime.
History does not tell. But Saturday
is Columbus Day and will be celebrat
ed largely in many sections of the
country.
Little Jean Carroll Harris, not
quite two years of age was instantly
killed on Cedar Island early today
when the wheels of a truck passed ov
er her body. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Harris. Mr. Har
ris a teacher in the Cedar '' Island
school was backing the truck out of
the yard of their home in the village
of Roe when the little girl who had
slipped out of the house was struck.
Mrs. Harris is the daughter of Capt.
Joe Mason of Atlantic. Funeral ar
rangements could not be learned as

FISHERMEN HAVE been getting
some pretty good breaks lately. Wo
refer to the commercial fishermen
who have caught thousands of pounds
of mullets. But don't get it into
your head that just causa they make
one or two good catches that they
are making money. Fishermen I be
lieve, above all people, really earn
the money they get for their catches.
Above View Is A Typical Rose Store
Those of our readers who want to know how the new Rose store in
Beaufort loks can get an idea from the above picture. This store will
be 114- Tn"?ment of E. P. Taylor of Suffolk, Va., who succeeds J.
A Cree former Beaufort managre who has been promoted to wholesale di
riaioa. (Mors about Rosa store on pages 10 and 11, second section.)
IF BEAUFORT AND Carteret
county had subscribed the same a
mount of money for stock in the A.
and N. C. railroad back in the late
1850s, as Craven county, there would
be no argument today about losing
rail service. The amount almost sub
scribed was $125,000. That would
have given us a freight yard on Gal
lant s Point and this whole cape of
Carteret today might be one big city,
with the best harbor along the At
lantic coast. The harbor would have
probably been built in all of the sec
tion between Morehead City and
Beaufort including the waterways
and marshes. And that would have
been a real HARBOR.

Nearly Finished
By RODNEY S. PRESCOTT
North Carolina Fisheries Incorpor
ated officially opened Monday of this
week in Morehead City with approx
imately forty participating members
making deliveries during the first day
of operation. Members making origi
nal deliveries were from the More
head City and the Salterpath Chap
ters. With these deliveries the North
Carolina Fishermen's Selp-help Co
operative launched the first coordi
nated movement in the history of the
state looking towards permanent re
habilitation of North Carolina fisher
men through the collective effort of
the state's fishing population.
Simultaneously with the opening
of the plant at Morehead City, the
plants at Manteo, Belhaven, and
Southport opened to receive fish
from members living in those areas.
It is estimated that North Carolina
Fisheries Incorporated serviced a to
tal of not less than two hundred and
fifty North Carolina fishermen on its
opening day. Prices prevailing in each
of the communities in which the or
ganization is operating were paid
with each member receiving his prof
it participation certificate entitling
him to a share in whatever - profits
may result from the operation of the
plants. All members making deliver
ies on the opening day and through
out the week at the various plants ex
pressed themselves as completely sat
isfied. Probably for the first time in
history there was no bickering and
battering between the fishermen and
those who purchased their fish. The
fishermen seemed to realize and un
derstand that their share in the prof
