Two presons, Bryan Garner, 30,
and Lois McCain, 33, rode the 'crim

Sunday morning when a 1931 model
Oldsmobile roadster "with a rumble
seat overturned at the Carteret Lodge
dam crossing near Newport, pinning
the victims beneath and slowly but
surely crushing the last spark of life
out of both. Charlie Elliott 19 and J.
D. Garner, 22, (brother of Bryan
Garner) who were claiming late Sun
day morning they were riding the rum
ble seat, escaped without injuries.
Liquor played a role in the accident
if evidence presented at a coroner's
inquest Tuesday morning is true.
According to evidence presented
the party of four were whooping it
up around Newport Saturday night.
It is alleged that they were drinking
freely. Far into the night they decid
ed to go to Mill Creek and get some
oysters, perhaps for 'pick-me-ups' as
the bivalves are said to have a sob

the Mill Creek road and near the

the Oldsmobile roadster ran off of a

By AYCOCK BROWN
LEON DAVENPORT A 10th grad
er of the Beaufort ' Public schools
dropped by the office to tell us about
a condition existing in the school's
transportation system. Leon and 68
other pupils are scheduled to come
into town each day on the school bus
which goes to the Harlowe section.
The truck or bus is loaded when 30
pupils are aboard but yet Education
al authorities of this great' state of
North Carolina, and this great county
of Carteret allow such conditions to
exist. Sixty nine passengers, school
children at that, must be crowded
into a 30-passer jer Chevrolet school
bus every day. It seems that State
or local school authorities could do
something about that in a hurry.
BUT LEON SAID that he went to
see Mr. Allen about it and Mr. Allen
gave him to understand that while
there may be a chance to get a new
school bus it would not be until a
round Christmas. Mr. Allen's com
ments on the situation are invited. In
toe meanwme tne story is on tne way
to State newspapers.
SOME OF THE things that people
around onr fair county are wonder
ing might include the following items:

Miami the craft will sail within the

small puppy was aboard as mascot
for the cruise. The cruise - to the
South Seas is expected to extend ov

Mexican Money Received For Subscription

Ambassador Daniels Will Get Beaufort News For Year
Seven pesos in Mexican money, six of wihch are shown in the photo
graph above was received this week from Ambassador Josephus Daniels in
Mexico City to pay for a year's subjeription to The Beaufort News. Sev
en pesos in American money equals equivalent of $2.00 which is the
subscription price of our newspaper when it goes beyond the Third Post
al zone.
The whole transaction was a public
ity stunt We advised Ambassador
Daniels that if he would send us
iMexican money instead of his per
sonal check that it would be a good
publicity stunt for The Beaufort
News. And we have a hunch that
this is one of the f ew if not the only
time on record where the subscrip

paper was paid for with foreign mon

BLAZE AT BEACH
DESTROYED CAFE
The "Dew Drop Inn" first build
ing on the left driveway entering At
lantic Beach was completely destroy
ed by fire early tonight. The total loss
is believed to be about $3,500. The
structure built by a resident of
Washington, whose name could not
be learned, had sold it only last week
to Miss Sudie Webb of Morehead
City .according to a telephone mes
sage from an employee in Vernon
Guthrie's cafe.
The Morehead City Fire Depart
ment went to the scene and while un
ableto extinguish the blaze that de
stroyed the cafe building, did pre
vent several cottages nearby from
catching afire, it was stated. A strong
northwest wind was blowing which
caused danger of spreading. It was
stated by a member of the fire depart
ment that no one was living in the
structure, although some fishermen
have used the place as a camp recent
FIRE SYSTEM OF
SCHOOL REPAIRED
Up Until A Few Days Ago
Most of Fire Escapes And
Alarm System O'lt of Order
At B.H.S. .
Up until a few days ago Beaufort
High School had a very poor fire
system. Doors to fire-escapes were
boarded up, the alarm system was out
of commission and several windows
were out. A few of the windows are
still out but repairs are being made
on the various exits and the alarm
system has been placed back into
commission. The foregoing conditions
were discovered by local fire officials
when the building was inspected a
short time ago. Same was reported to
the board of alderment at their month
ly meeting and the situation is now
better.
Mr. Carleton, principal of the
school will soon start giving regular
fire drills which is required under
the state laws of North Carolina.
Parts of the high school building,
such as windows have not been re
paired since the storm of September
1933.
The Colored School has a very
good fire system. The principal there
says that he can clear the building in
drills in less time than one minute.
The colored children march by music
as they go through the drills. This
helps to keep down excitement. One
door in the Colored School building
must bee hanged to give it a first class
firo rating.
NEWPORT 'AGGIES'
ATTEND N. C. FAIR
Hundreds of school pupils of the
entire state of North Carolina throng
ed the midway and exhibit hall at
the N. C. State Fair Friday. Among
this milling hord were thirty New
port Vocational Agricultural pupils
of the Newport school. These boys
were accompanied t othe fair by
their teacher, C. S. Long, who feels
that such a trip is well worth while
from an educational standpoint as
well as recreational. These trip3 have
been made annually since agriculture
was first included in the curriculum
of the Newport school. The visits
have been made and studied with a
view of correlating the educational
value of the farm and livestock ex
hibits with the classwork.
One of the outstanding attractions
of the fair was the fourteen booths
of distinctively commendable dis
plays of farm produce exhibited by
students of vocational agriculture
under the leadership of Mr. Roy H.
Thomas, State Supervisor of Agri
cultural Education.
