CARTERET COUNTY
AMONG GROUP DUE
N. C. ROAD REFUND
East Carolina Chamber
Of Commerce Gives
Out Story
MINIMUM REFUND $163,000
When the good roads movement
started in NoiJ'i Carolina,' several
years ago, many counties in the
State turned over large amounts of
actual cash donations for the pur
wse of hastening the completion of
the present system. Carteret was one
of 44-eounties listed among this
group which have total claims of $8
443,000, said amounts being set up
on the h'jjhway records as gifts or
donations. News received here this
week indicates that there is a pos
sibility that the amount will be paid
at sometime in the near future. Un
der the present setup Carteret would
be refunded $163,000.
But that is not all which is due
;he county according to the opinion
f one official. The total amount due
Carteret would be between one and
1 wo millions, it was stated. In the
l leantime the following progress
has been made, according to infor
n ation received by the Eastern Car
olina Chamber of Commerce this
week, leaders in the movement start
ed two years ago, to secure the re
fund, when efforts on the part of
individual and separata counties had
faiied.
Governor Ehringhaus promised a
con mittee from the Commerce
group, that he would appoint the
Fact Finding Commission authorized
by the last legislature. At the time
he stated to the committee that the
personnel of its members would be
of such character thatt hey would
give the counties fair and1 Impartial
hearings in connection with their
counties.

Fishing And
ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
THE RAYMOND STUEBS of Ral
eigh who are stopping at the Old
Davis House were the first to break
the ice, following a holiday of game
fishes. Last week week we truthful
ly reported that although anglers
were numerous in these waters dur
ing the Fourth of .Tuly season
fish were not. This situation was
brought about perhaps to shifts of
wind or maybe the trolled for spe
had followed the menhaden schools
somewhere. Anyway they were not
in the same vicinity where anglers
went or if they were they were
not biting.
BUT EARLY THIS week luck
changed. The Strebs were out on two
different days. Both days they
caught plenty of blues and macker
el. Other anglers going out trolling
had similar luck. So the fishes holi
day is over and anglers are happy
again.

BIDS OPENED MONDAY
Five tracts of land were offered
the United States government as
sites for the proposed $118,000 Fed
eral building here on Monday. With
the exception of one site the price
asked by owners varied considerably
from the assessed valuation of the
properties. Three of the tracts offer
ed are on Front Street, one on Tur
ner and one at the corner of Turn
er and Ann.
No action will be taken on the
proposals opened by Postmaster
Wiley Taylor until a representative
of the Treasury Department comes
down to consider the bids. That will
be sometime within the next few
days it was stated. The five tracts
offered, the dimensions, owners,
prices asked and assessed valuation
on the tax books follow:

Another Audit I
Several months ago A. M.
Pullen & Company of Rich
mond, Va., sent O. O. Hewitt
to Carteret county for the pur
pose of making certain audits,
covering a nine months period
of the County Accountant's
office a longer period of the
office of the Clerk of Superior
Court. Sometime recently the
audit was completed, or com
pleted if reports are true, and
returned to county officials.
Last week when the County
Commisioners gathered for a
two day session the audit was
revealed. So far, if reports are
true, it has not been accepted
by the board of County Com
missioners. The Beaufort
News has been advised by an
official that until "the audit is
accepted by the board of com
missioners," it is not public
news. Later we hope to pub-
nsn same.

Scenes On The Lee Fulcher Farm
The above scenes show the kind of tobacco that a good farmer like
Lee Fulcher can grow on fertile Carteret soil. His farm is near Wild
wood on Newport R. F. D. The photos were made on June 15. Since
that time Mr. Fulcher has already harvested nine barns of tobacco from
his plantation, including the above field, or part of it. In the upper
left photo, is Mr. Fulcher's tenant, his mule and Mr. Fulcher. Hugh
Overstreet, county farm agent is shown in upper right photo. Bottom
photo shows one of his fields. In the lower picture were Mr. Fulcher,
his tenant, the mule and Mr. Overstreet, but they are almost hidden
from view by the splendid growth. (Beaufort News Photo.)
