Fishing As:d
ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
A PARTY OF anglers fishing the
fresh waters of South River last
Sunday landed four big-mouth bass
and shot a 7-foot alligator with a .22
rifle. That is real sport, casting for
big-mouths, catching them and on top
of that having the opportunity of
killing an alligator. It is quite likely
that half the folks in Carteret coun
do not even know that alligators are
somewhat numerous in the fresh
waters of Carteret county, especially
in the semi-tropical swamps and riv
ers of the eastern section. In the
party making this catch and kill were
R. Henderson, Beaufort and a Mr.
Davis and Mr. Williams of Raleigh.
THERE IS NO closed season on illU
gators and it is likely that when
Carteret county becomes better
known to a great many northerners
who think the Gulf Stream is only at
Miami, that the art of gator hunt
ing will become a sport in this coun
ty. It might be a good idea for some
one to start an alligator farm as an
attraction to vacationists and tour
ists who come to this area. The alli
gator farm idea has been put across
in a big way down in Florida and it
is a paying proposition there.

FROM POLITICAL RACE!
In withdrawing as a candidate
for county commissioner in the
Democratic Primary, Dr. L. W.
Moore today gave the press the
following announcement:
"Notice of my candidacy was ;
filed in the late afternoon of.
the last day for filing and was
done at the insistance of my
friends and without my having
taken time for proper delibera
tion. Since considering t h
whole1 .matter more fully I am
convinced that it would be 9
foolish thing for me to neglect
my practice and needlessly sub
ject myself io certain criticism
that would follow my serving as
a member of the board. I am
grateful to my many friends
who have assured me of their
support but I ara confident upon
proper reflection they will un
derstand and appreciate my at
titude. . -
