The biggest pay-off in the history
of Carteret county has been under
way this week. And the postmasters
are the pay-masters.
Uncle Sam has been doing his bit
for the boys who did their bit, over
here and "Over There" in 1918
doing his bit to the tune of almost
18 million dollars in the United
States. Almost a quarter of a mil
lion in Bonus bonds reached Carteret
poatoffices on Monday and the pay
off started almost immediately to
nearly 400 ex-doughboys who are in
the money now.
Bonus bonds started on their way
this week to American veterans in
every corner of the globe, from Sing
apore to San Francisco, from Zan
zibar to Archangel, from Philadelphia
to Pago Pago, from London to Rio
de Janeiro. And here in Carteret
county from Merrimon to Salter
Path from Pelletier to Portsmouth,
from Harlowe to Harkers Island and
Cedar Island to Cane Lookout. No
community is missed. It is a grand
and glorious pay-off and for the time
being at least, "Happy Days are Hero
Again."
In the first shipment to reach
Beaufort on Monday there were
nearly 100 bonds. Bill Skarren lo
cal postoffice employee was the first
man in Beaufort to get his bonds.
He did his bit, several months of bit
over in themud of . France . Bill's

Fishing And
ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
THE STORY ABOUT the first
catch of dolphin in the Gulf Stream
off Cape Lookout this summer was
printed in dozens of newspapers from
New York right on down the coast.
It is great publicity for this area
and mark my words, this sport of
Gulf Stream fishing is going to forge
ahead of all other kinds of sports
fishing along the Carolina coast in
another season or two. The wise
boatman will equip his craft now for
taking parties to Blue Water off
Cape Lookout
AT THE PRESENT time there are
only a few boats, including the Fly
ing Dolphin, and Buccaneer of Edge
water Club, the Piggie, Capt. Guy
Lewis, (headquarters at Carteret
Hardware) and Capt. Jess Pagel of
the boat Jesse, of Beaufort catering
to Gulf Stream parties. There should
be 15 or 20. More requests are com
ing from anglers on the interior this
year for this type of fishing than in
any previous year. As this column is
written a request has just come in to
Carteret Hardware for the use of the

HUNTLY BUILDING
APARTMET HOUSE
Work will begin within the next
few days on Beaufort's first all
brick apartment house. It will be lo
cated at the corner of Fulford and
Front Streets and will cost the
builder, George W. Huntley Jr, ap
proximately $70,000 which is financ
ed by the FHA.
The biulding will have among oth
er modern conveniences, steam heat,

FIRST N. C. TOMATOES
MOVE FROM CARTERET
The first North Carolina to
matoes to be shipped this year
moved out of Carteret county on
Monday from the leased farm
lands of J. H. Kinsey of Ft.
Myers, Fla. The initial ship
ment consisted of 696 lugs (or
crates) and were consigned to
northern markets where the av
erage price this week is $2 per
lug. The Kinsey Interests are
using the Hill warehouse near
Lenoxville Road and Atlantic
Highway as a packing center
season. There will be an excel
lent yield of tomatoes this year
unless the bottom drops out, the
prices bemig paid should make a
profit for the planters.

Menhaden' Craifti'::r"
Load To 'Gunnels'
Menhaden fishermen have been
making better ctvtctyjs during the
past two weeks than in many years.
An average of over a million fish per
day have been coming into port for
Beaufort Fisheries Inc., and that has
meant a daily pay-roll of approxi
mately $750 per day to those en
gaged in this fishery. Similar good
catches are being made by the boats
supplying the fish factories of More
head City and an unofficial estimate
of the total catch since the run of
menhaden first started is over 50,
000,000 fish. Factories are working
day and night, and many carloads of
fish scrap are moving marketward
over the Norfolk Southern and A. &
N. C. tracks daily.

right, the chances are that More-head
City Boat Club will have their annual
regetta on July Fourth in the Ocean
this year instead of on Bogue Sound.
If the ocean is selected as the lo
cation, the triangular course will be
directly in front of Atlantic Beach,
and so located that observers may
view the entire event without moving
from one place.
GORDON C. WILLIS a Boat Club
member believes it would be a splen
dd idea to stage the regetta in front
of Atlantic Beach on the ocean, it
weather conditions are right He
said as much by telephone just be
fore this column was written. We
heartily agree with Mr. Willis, that a
small 16 to 20 foot boat would fare
badly out there if the wind was too
strong, but that is a chance all re

little wind or too much wind, the
