SOMETHING DIFFERENT about
the Twin City He rata that you have
probably noticed but failed to figure
out, is the fact that there are seven
instead of six columns. Formerly the
Carteret County Herald had six col
umns. The Twin-City Herald is a nent
little sheet. With its birth as a daily
last Monday, we, The Beaufort News
have tho distinction of being the only
weekly published in Carteret county.
iThe Beaufort News was born on Feb
ruary 5, 1912, making it 24 years of
age, five issues ago.
TWIN-CITY HERALD uses the
Pi-p news service. I have
been their coastal correspondent for
about eight years. You probably won
dered how news you have heard over
the radio in the early evening happens
fr, hf, minted in the Herald by the
same time. Editor Utley receives the
news by telephone from Kaleign at
1 P. M. It comes by leased wire and
is called in newspaper circles, 'pony
service.' The man at this end takes
the news down at the rate of about
150 words per minute. Carl Goerch
editor of The State is one of the fast
est 'pony receivers in North Carolina,
Mr. Utley says.
SOME OF THE most beautiful rec
ords in the courthouse were written

Capt. Charlie Smith And Crew Caught This Seal
This harbor or hairy ?eal was captured several days ago by Capt. Char
lie Smith of Morehead City, and his crew of fishermen near Old Top
sail Inlet. It was brought to the pool at the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
where the above photo was made during the l-ecent snow. The seal is
quite gentle and many people have been to Piver's Island to see the lit
tle fellow do all sort of antics in his new home.
Last Friday while returning from Bogue Inlet coastguard station along
the surf Capt. Tom Lar.ttt and Surf man George Moore caught another
seal. It was also turned over to Dr. Prytherch, but apparently someone
had previously shot fee animal because it livL'd only a short time. A ra
dio newscaster announcing the capture of Capt. Barnett's seal said her
name was Alice. Dr. I't-ythorch sent tho body of Alice to the N. C. Fish
eries Freezing plant where it v:&a frozen and on Tuesday it was shipped to
Hueh Davis at the Stuta nvj.-i'.ni in iialoigh. AiKe wul be mount&d and be

Sale of the remaining assets of
the defunct Beaufort Bankin? and

aggregated $18,236 as compared t?
S18.400 for assets as a whole. Thos ;
bids have been raised since the sab
and are subject to stiil larger bid-;
before annroved bv tna Bankine De

sale to exceed the bid as a whole,
but it might be a good idea for indi

for individual items. The sale stands
wide open and subject to a raise on in

On December 1, 1930, Coun

was bonded for $5,000 for the
purpose of protecting Carteret
county while he carried out the
duties of his office. That bond
was renewed each year by
Chalk and Gibbs, representa

Company, until December 1,

ces of Carteret have been handl

did not secure another bond. A
very 'Carteret county-like'
state of affairs.
As a rseult the county has been

seems to point towards the board of
county commissioners. The county
