TOMATOES TO BE CANNED
Cairo! Crockett of Chrisfield, Md..
who operates canneries at Southport,
Belhaven and several other points in
North Carolina, Virginia and Mary
land will arrive here next week to
take over the operation of the Cham
ber of Commerce cannery during the
tomato season. Present indications
point towards the canning of from
15,000 to 20,000 cases (two dozen
No. 2 cans to case) of Carteret to
matoes, said Fred Seeley, president
of the Chamber of Commerce who re
leased this story just as we go to
press.
Crockett had been recomended
very highly by various parties, in
i.,;nY r.pntenental Can Corp
oration, before his services for the
operation of the local plant was sec
...a ThB nnpninor of the plant will
mean that employment will be given
for the next several weeks to iou
or more employees, including plant
workers and field pickers.
A total of over 40,000 lugs of
green tomatoes have been shipped
from Carteret to northern markets so
far this season, but as the price has
. decreased and the vegetable has
started to ripen while still in fields,
the surplus must be taken care of and
taken care of immediately. It is
ttu nlant will work 24
hour shifts for many days after it is
...a care of the great
surplus of ripening tomatoes, Seeley
stated.
Still The Kingfish

ALL OUTDOORS

Luther Hamilton
Luther Hamilton who for many
years has been active in Carteret
politics is still the "kingfish" politi
cally speaking, of thi3 county. Re
gardless of how a person looks at it,
whether the Hoey viftiry was a
purchase or the McDonald defeat a
sell out, the fact remains that Ham
ilton is still the kingfish. He is not
as strong politically as he has been
in years gone by, because today At
lantic, his birthplace and home of
one time 'rinz-man' Capt. James R.
Morri3 is on the opposite side of the
Dohtical fence. Incidenally rlamu
ton did not go after votes in Atlantic
precinct during this campaign. Lu
ther Hamilton has long been chair
man of the Democratic party in
Carteret county longer perhaps
than he will be.

FISHING ON THE Fourth was
not so good in nearby waters. Neith
er was the weather. That is why ang
lers made few catches. But when
the weather i3 favorable these days,
anglers who go trolling out to deep
sea waters beyond Beauf jrt Inlet us
ually register catches. Mackerel and
Blues are running and in a few more
weeks Cero wil start.
CERO FISHING IN our local
waters has long been a real attrac
tion to anglers from upstate. And
the name CERO 13 a local name for
the spejies. Down in Florida they are
usually called Kingfish, their correct
name. They belong to the Mackerel
x ;i anH Are sometimes called
'horse mackerel' in certain areas of
the coast. The average size of the fish
ranges from 10 to 15 pounds and the
largest on record is 73 1-2 pounds,
taken with rod and reel by L. B.
Harrison off Bimini on March 18,
1935. One speciman weighing 100
pounds has been taken but not with
rod and reel.

The Mitchell-Hedges Are Real Fishermen
What is perhaps a record channel bass to be taken from North Caro
lina waters is the 64 Vi pounder pictured above with F. A. Mitcneu-nea
Wnttarfla Island. He is the man
gco ui iwiiuvii, "6,l," iivi ""v
who made the record catch in the surf on Hatteras Island several weeks
ago, near his Frisco estate. At the same time Mitchell-Hedges was reel
ing in his record breaker, his son, James Mitchell-Hedges was reeling
in the 53 pounder shown on the left insert. F. A. Mitchell-Hedges is a
famous English explorer. He ha3 been living on Hatteras Island for
the past year, going their on his honeymoon Lut liking the place so
well that he and his family have 'gone native,' and bought a home and
:i ui i ti,o .inini'-v . Tn 1931. W. N. Henderson,
brother of R. Henderson, Beaufort, landed a 63 Mi pound channel bass
at Brown's Inlet in Onslow. His fish was the largest taken that year
and won the .national first prizes in contests. W. N Henderson is in

LONG DISTANCE PAY
STATION NEEDED
When the Carolina Tele
phone and Telegraph Company
made their recent improve
ments in aerriee and changed
to the dial system they failed
to conveniently place long dis
tance pay stations. A pay
station is needed somewhere in
the heart of the business sec
tion. Out of town visitors wish
ing to make calls have to walk
several blocks to a pay station
or else bother the merchants
by using their telephones.. Mr.
Porter, should see to it that a
par, station booth is placed in
Beaufort's business section and
that it is available for use 24
hours per day especially dur

Hoey Carried Big Lead
Over McDonald In
Carteret
ELECTION BEHAVIOR WAS
NOT SO COO ) IN COUNTY
Never in the history of Carteret
county has such a hectic election--
especially between gubernatorial
candidates of the same party atfiiia
tions been held. It is not diffi
cult to hear most anyone say that
plenty of Hoey money was spent dur
ing the dav but money or no money
McDonald was defeated in Carteret
to the tune of 728 votes. That was
the official count on Tuesday a3
handed in by poll holders to the Car
teret board of elections. Maay
supporters of McDonald will readily
say, however, that their man in real
ity carried the county.. despite any
figures to the contrary.
If McDonald voters and suppor
ters were dissatisfied, no one seemed
to be interested enough to make a
challenge in any precints or at the
board of elections meetings or
maybe they are doing something
about it. Down on Harkers Island
for instance where the sworn state
ments of poll holders showed 428
Hoey votes as compared to 43 for
McDonald, a panr is being circulated
at this time according to reports
reaching here today with the sig
natures of many more than 43 al
ready affixed, stating they voted
McDonald. . . . Wheth anything will
develope from thlj import remains to
be seen.
The total vote in Carteret county
follows: Hoey, 2413; McDonald
1685; Horton 2117; Grady 1202;
Eure 1155 and Wade 2499. Stacy

LOCAL, UPSTATE AND out of
state fishermen were disappointed
early this week when they caught no
fish in waters beyonJ Beaufort Inlet
which at this season should be teem
ing with mackerel and blues. The
wind had shifted around to north
east, but was blowing so lightly that
it caused hardly a ripple on the sur
face of the waters, and a northeast
er of that velocity certainly does not
chase all the fish away. After talk
ing it over with various guides and
boatmen the only solution we have
arrived at is the fact that perhaps
the blues and mackerel have followed
the menhaden wherever the men
haden have gone.
A FEW WEEKS AGO menhaden
were plentiful in offshore waters.
