Beaufort and the railroad situa tion existing here made the front pages of large daily newspapers in the 'State this week and also brought on opinions of editorial writers. In a story appearing in the News and Ob server Wednesday, Stanley Winborne declared that the discontinuance of certain trains into Beaufort and the discontinuance of Sunday service waj unauthorized. In a letter to Hon. Bayard Taylor, mayor of Beaufort, Mr. Winborne made the following statement: "Since examining our records, it appears that the daily train, which was dis continued out in the morning and in to Beaufort in the evening, was es tablished when the Norfolk-Southern R. R. began their rail-motor bus ser vice on January 6, 1935, and that at the time the motor bus service was au thorized, it was understood that it was an experiment, and that if it did not pay it could be discontinued." In regards to the Sunday service that has been discontinued Mr. Win borne wrote: "On Sundays arrange ments have been made to meet the Atlantic and North Carolina train at Morehead City with a truck to handle the U. S. Mail .direct from Morehead City to Beaufort's post office, with similar service from Beaufort to Morehead City in the afternoon." Ar rangements probably were made by the operators to handle the matter this way but no one made any sort or arrangements with the people of Beaufort and the East and north Car teret county to discontinue -he ser vice. The cost for operating a train from Morehead City to Beaufort is 50 per day according to allegations of the Norfolk-Southern which were furnished Mr. Winborne.

DUCKS PLENTIFUL IN THIS SECTION Migratory wild ducks have been very plentiful in waters adjacent to Beaufort and Morehead City renetly and large and small flocks can , be seen anywhere along this waterfronts or near the causeway a:.J bridges be tween the two towns. Tho" may have been driven to this area i' "m the frozen Chesapeake Bay area, where reports have been that wildfowl gen erally is on the verge of starvation n iVa conditions. But being plen tiful in this area at this season does not give one a license to kill the ducks. They are protected oy mww nf;nr,ti iau inH if one is convict ed of killing them it will be a Feder al not a local judge who wiu pro nounce the sentence. AHHEvr that rat GW 0Me? A' recent survey for rural electri fication conducted in Carteret county has been worked up to such an ex tent that B. H.

Mr. Jones will be at the courthouse in Beaufort on Thursday, February 27, at 10 o clock for this purpose, it was stated.
