IHarkers Island Pair
Must Behave Nicely
For Next Two Years
Brady Lewis and Nellie Jones of Har-
kers Island who were convicted on an
Adultery charge at a previous session
f recorder s court were given a
break lienitnett Judge Paul Webb
when their case was called again on
Tuesday. Nellie produced witness-
ess who declared that up until the es
capade which got her in the clutches
of the law, she was of good charcter
Those witnessess saved Nellie from
Samarcand Manor.
Brady Lewis the co-defendant in
the case paid the costts of the court
which amounted to about $22 and the
case was continued for two years, dur
ing which time it might be just too
bad if either fails to walk the straight
nd narrow path. The charges again
st the couple were brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth Lewis, wife of Brady .
James Collins was sentenced to
four months on the roads on a charge
of assualt with a deadly weapon. Be
cause he thinks he will get a better
deal perhaps, O. L. (Sam) Prescott
charged with violating the prohibition
law asked for trial by jury and will
get same during the March term of
superior court. After hearing the ev-
DanPiner and Gaither Willis charged
idence of Ed Smith in the cases of
with assualt with deadly weapon, the
defendants were found not guilty.
Judgement was suspended in the
cases of Matthew Brown and Freddie
Johnson, charged with violating the
prohibition law.. until the appreh
ension of Williard Johnson.

HONOR C. G. COMMANDER
When Commander Price of this
Coast Guard district visited Fort Mac
on early this week he was honored at
.n old fashhioned square dance. Sev
eral people from Beaufort and other
nearby towns were present. Capt Tom
Barnett in charge of the station knew
that Commander Price enjoyed square
dancing which is the reason he stag
ed the event.

Events
Jeaufort Became District 2
Champs When They Defeat
ed Pollocksviille
By A. R. RICE
It took Beaufort High two extra per
iods and a last second field goal by
Ed Potter to defeat Pollockscille High
Tuesday night in a game played at
New Bern 24 to 22 to make it two
triumphs during the week over that
team and become champions of Dis
trict 2 in State Class B. baskelball.
Beaufort plays the winner of some
other district in the near future and
ultimately another until they either
become champions of the state or are
eliminated. This is the first time that
a Beaufort team has ever gone be
yond the first round in Class B. At
the end of the regulation time the
score was knotted at 18 all aided by
Chadwick'a 8 points, Brooks' 5 and
Tyler's 5. Bender and Menotte with
5 each led Pollocksville. In the first
extra period Potter made a field goal
for Beaufort and Washburn one for
Pollocksville to send the game into
its second extra period. In this ses
sion Brooks and Potter converted
singletons and Montee made it 22
all with a field goal. Here came Pot
ter's remarkable last second goal.
The first Pollocksville game was
played hero last Friday night and af-
tor one over-tima period the locals
emerged triumphant by 15 to 13.
Tha regulation game ended at 13-all

In The Graveyard of The Atlantic
Two of The Most Recent Wrecks Along Coast
Tho Graveyard of the Atlantic which is that section of the ocean in
the vicinity of Cape Hatteras claimed the above schooners. The Nomis
of New York on the left, laden with lumber sailed into into the breakers
of Ocracoke Island during the late summer of 1935. She was bound for
New York. The four-master, George A. Kohler wrecked near Chicama
comico several years ago. High and dry on the beach she is still intact,
with the exception of three of the masts which have been cut off sonce
the photo was made. Several months ago a moving picture organization
shot scyeral scenes of the Kohler.
LARGE DREDGE IS!
DIGGING CHANNEL
U. S. S. Manhattan Arrived Last
Sunday; Snowstorm Stopped
Work For a While on Thurs
day. Due to the snow storm Thursday
work on the Morehead City Port Term
inal was at a stand still but Friday
operations were resumed. The Dredge
Manhattan of the U. S. Engineering
Department arrived Sunday nad is
now pncayfiH in dredfinnc the channel
through Beaufort Inlet to a depth of
30 feet. The Comstock is also work
ing on this project. The pipe line
dredge Gahagen No. 5 has been mak
ing rapid progress on dcepending the
channel leading to the terminal site
from Fort Macon. Already a large;
island has been formed at the outer 1
end of a Marsh between Beaufort and
Morehead City. j
Port terminal officials made a trip
to Washington this week to
bout the immediate construction of
the jetties at Beaufort Inlet. It has
been reported that ther was a possi
bility that the jetties would not be
built, but General Markham of the U.
S. Army assured the delegation that
the government had every intention
to build the jetties. They will extend
for 5,000 feet on either side of the
channel.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
actual construction of the terminal.
About 25 per cent of the German
steel piles have been driven, it is un
derstood. "Farmers are expectantly waiting
for some plan to be devised that will
enable them to control production
this year," says T. J. W. Broom of
Union County .

Morehead Basket Ball Team Is
Now Leading Carteret Coun
ty Conference
By J. W. Stewart
Old man weather changed the scene
of the scheduled battle between the
Morehead City Basketball Teams and
those of Newport on last Wednesday
The games were orginally scheduled
to be played at Newport in the after
noon on an outdoor court but due
to conditions of the field and by agree
ment they were played that evening
at the M. C. Gym. Playing in some
what the same form as of last year
the Newport Girls won over their
M. City friends by the score of 12.9.
This game was the first of the season
for the Newport Girls. The game
between the Newport Boy's Team and
that of M City proved to be a practice
one for Morehead's Second and Third
Teams, as the First was only in the
game for a few minutes. The New
port team did not score until the third
quarter. Morehead's Third team
played the Newport Team on even
terms. The final score was More-
head City 29 Newport 9.
On Friday Atlantic's boys team in
vaded Newport. Atlantic does not
have a girl's team. The game was
played on Newport's Outdoor Court,
in frgiid weather. The playing of
conference games on outdoor courts
! should be -discussed by those in author
ity, ami should be eliminated entirely.

SNOW IN HISTORY
An 11 -Inch Blanket That Cov
ers Carteret Is First of Any
Consequence in 18 Years
An eleven inch blanket of snow
which started falling late Wednesday
night has covered Carteret county.
It is the deepest snow ever recorded
in this locality according to the old
er residents. The last snow of any
consequences in Carteret occurred
during March 1918. Only three inches
s recorded at that time except in
certain places where the wind had
formed drifts.
Early Friday despite the fact a glar
ing sun was shining indications were
that the snow would not melt very
jCast for sometime atast, '? Many of
li6 younger children In Beaufort were
seeing a snow for the first time,
"while a great treat to many of the
younger generation the snow has
brought additional suffering to many
destitute families in Carteret County.
In some sections a shortage of
coal was reported with only a limited
amount going to each purchaser. Gar
ages did a landoffice business in car
repairing and selling of chains. The
supply of chains was soon exhaust
ed.
Several Meetings With
Farmers are Scheduled
With the thought in view of get
ing views on agriculture during the
coming year, Hugh Overstaeet, coun
ty agent, has planned a series of
meetings with farmers of Carteret.
The first of these meetings is being
held at Newport tonight. Other
meetings will be held as follows: Fri
day, January 31 at County Agent's
Smyrna schoolhouse; Tuesday Feb
ruary 4, L. N. Connor's store Har-
lowe; Wednesday February 5,
Woman's Home Demonstration Club
at Bogue. The meetings will be held
at 7:30 o'clock in the evening at each
place.
A letter addressed to fanners by
Mr. Overstreet which have already
been mailed reads as follows:
Dear Sir,
You are requested to attend one of
the scheduled meetings listed below
for the purpose of hearing an ex
planation of the County Agricultural
v,l """;"K. Jones, 2 lots Beaufort, for $
we are trying to set up, and also the i T . TL . . T.
Soil Conservation Work being pro
inoted by the North Carolina Agri
cultural Extension Service and the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Since the A. A. A. has been des
troyed by the Supreme Court, it looks
like the farmer will have to take some
action for himself if he expects any
further assistance from, his State and
National Government, so let's do our
part and attend one of these meetings
for discussion as I want to get your
views on agricultural for the coming
year as well as put this information
before you.
Will appreciate you telling your
friends and neighbors of these meet
ings and urge them to attend.
Looking forward to seeing you at
one of these meetings, I am,

Twenty Five Thousand
Pounds of Drum Which
Sportsmen Won't Catch
What was perhaps the largest
catch of small drum or channel bass
ever made along the North Carolina
Coast was taken yesterday by Capt.
Ira Willis of Harkers Island and his
crew who were hauling in the surf
near whalebone Inlet at Portsmouth.
Leslie Davis, independent fish dealer
of Beaufort stated that the catch
would total approximately 25,000
pounds, for which the fishermen at
three cent per pound would receive
$750 or more.
The fish filled several boats to the
gun'nels and although 17,000 pounds
were brought to Beaufort late Wed
nesday afternoon there was still
another loand on the beach tthere and
they were ertroute to Beaufort last
night during a blinding snow storm.
It is probable that they did not reach
town until this morning.
The fish individually weighed from
two to 10 pounds each, Mcr. Davis
said. While they are really the young
of channel bass, down on the islands
of the outer coast they are more fa
mailarly known as "pupy Drum.' For
eating purposes they are delicious,
Many a sportsmen who likes his boat I
or surf casting for channel bass will
be unhappy to learn about the big
catch of these copper colored beau
ties but Capt. Willis and his crew
were feeling just the opposite. They
were happy.
DON'T FORGET TO
FEED THE BIRDS
Most tmfortnuate sufferers as
a results of Corteret'a first snow
in 18 years are the birds. Every
citizen in the county should
make an effort to feed these
feathered frineds and thus save
T them from starvation. It is a
a simple matter to fix a place on
T your window sill, lawn or porch
where crumbs can be scattered.
X You will be doing a kind deed
4 in. addition to saving the little
i feathered fellows which are now
T suffering for lack of food. So,
FEED THE BIRDS.

Hayne Riding School
Is Interesting Many
Despite cold weather that is not
suitable in the least for horseback
riding, Mr. Hayne stated this week
that people are showing a big interest
in the riding classes he has establish
ed on his farm which is better known
as the "home of Hayne quality Glad
iolus." He has several ponies and the
equipment that is necessary for horse
back riding and despite your opinion
of tha weather the day you read this
it will not be long now until you
can, if you are a lover of equities, be
galloping around the Hayne bridle
paths.
But Matter of Taking Care of
Needy Should be Attended to
At Once; Snow and Bitter
Weather Adds to Suffering
Of Destitute Families
CHURCH GROUP MET AND
DISCUSSED AIDING POOR
It Has Been- Announced on Street
That Mrs. George Henderson It
Slated For New Office if Estab
lished; Churen Croup Would En
dearer to Htm Town Make Dona
tion if County Would Give Equal
Amounts
It is generally understtood that a
welfare officer will appointed for
Carteret on Monday, despite the fact
that a person high in officialdom of
the county stated Thursday that some
was not definate.
It is further understood that Mrs.
George Henderson of Morehead City,
who has during past years been in
charge of Red Cross work there, is
slated for and will get the job. The
job will pay $125 per month. An
assistant wil aid the regular welfare
officer at a smaller salary.
But the appointment of an officer
even on Monday would not relieve
immediate suffering. Many believe
a group of church workers taking
this into consideration met on Tues-
day night at the Methodist church
and plans were discussed as to how
persons in immediate . need could be
lelped.
Plans were discussed whereby the
town would contribute a certain snm
of money on condittion that the coun
ty contribute a like; amount. The
proposition will be laid before church
groups in other town of the county,
said Mr. Seely and it ia -quite likely
that a plan may be worked out where
by an, available amount will be rais
ed ta. tide the destitute through their
immediate needs anil nstil a well, or
ganized welfare department is estab
lished. RAILROAD STATION'S NEW
NAME WILL BE EDGEWATER
Officials of the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad have advised F. M.
Simmons that the name of Morehead
Bluffs station on their trackage a few
miles west of Morehead City will be
changed to Edgewater on February
15. The original name of the station
was Mansfield, in honor of the large
property holders1 of that section.
With the rise of Morehead Bluffs
during the late Twenties the name
was changed, although Norfolk South-
rn continued to issue tickets to Mans
field. The A. and N. C. will Drobablv
issue tickets to their Edgewater sta
tion, so called because of the develop
ment of nearby Edeewater nrorer-
ties Inc., and the' Edgewater Club.
The Davidson 'Mutual Farm Ex
change did $56,805.67 worth of busi
ness in 1935 which is an increase of
$10,311.12 over that of 1934.
Flock records on 66,237 hens in
Burke County for December show
that each hen made a profit of 12
cents above cost during the month.
