They are on their migratory flight south, but it is mighty nice to have them stop over in this area for awhile. To the averago reader, per haps, the martin, is j'.;st another bird. To a person who has studied the habits of these annual commut ers between North and South Amer ica they are something else and to illustrate what I am trying to get at, watch a flock of these birds in their flights. Evervtime you see one make a quick movement in the air, it is darting after some sort of insect.

A mosquito toa human is just something else to be pestered by to a maritn it is a delicacy and if you notice mosquitoes get ting scarce at night, you can almost gamble that you will see martins in your vicinity during the daylight hours . . .

The Casino Friday night will be broadcast direct from the ringside through the faci lities of WPTF in Raleigh if plans al most complete as we go to press, are carried out. It will be the first time in the history of Carteret County that such a broadcast has gone direct from our resort area by radio to all parts of the country. The broadcast planned for Friday night is being made possible by sponsors in More head City, Beaufort, Edgewater Club and Atlantic Beach. This promises to really be one of the best fights that Add Warren has staged since he started , his Friday night boxing shows early in the seas on. Jake Denning, age 28, weight 175, is light-weight exchampion of both fleets of the U. S. Navy and is ex-heavyweight champion of tho U. S. Battlefleet. He hails from Dur ham and. has been going through rig id training for this bout with Red Lewis, who insofar as Atlantic Beach fights are concerned, and he has featured in five there this sum mer, is an undefeated champion. Beaufort sponsors who will help put the broadcast across are C. D. Jones Company and The Beaufort News. And not only will these firms but the entire section will get wide and unusual publicity as a result. The Lewis-Denning fight starts a bout 10 o'clock so tune in on WPTF. f Hamilton's Successor T 1 To Be Named Saturday t Successor to Luther Hamil ton who recently resigned as chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Car teret county is scheduled to be t named on Saturday when the .26 members of the committee meet at the courthouse at 2 o'clock. Several persons have been considered for this post including Capt. James R. Mor ris, of Atlantic, and party lead er for many .years, W. M. Webb, Morehead City and Ir- vin W.

Geologists say that it is dust in the air which adds color to the sky as the sun rises across the horizon or sinks behind it. We are rather of the opinion that the at mospheric conditions have much to do with it The above scene is a photo made by Dr. H. F. Prythrech at Ocracoke, where the sun not only rises out of the water but apparently sets in it and the resulting scenes have attracted hundreds of artists afcd lovers of beauty to that area. Note the fishhouses in the foreground and the" lighthouse on the island.

TheyRoseToFarmingFame George and Raymond Ball Started Off In 1917 With An Unfertile Farm, $SOO In Bor rowed Money And Equip ment Bought On Credit. To day They Are Master Farm Data furnished The Beaufort News this week gives a mighty clear ' ac count of how two hard working brothers went in debt to buy land and subsequently, how they made a tremendous success of their farming operations. Last week in . Raleigh these two brothers, George W. Ball and J. Raymond Ball operating as Ball Brothers received the highest honor that any farmer in' North Car olina can receive. They received the title "Master Farmer" and they well deserve their title. Few success stor ies are -more interesting than the rise of the Ball Brothers. Hugh Ov erstreet, county fram agent furnish ed the data, be sure and it all. It follows: Carolina Coast J For County Dfibt Representative of SI Per cent Met With Commissioners This Mr.; Gray will draw uo th bro L posed plan to a final stage lor presentation or acceptance,. It was suggested that the county refund the amount involved over a period of 30 to 40 years, on an in terest basis of one and one half per cent for the first few years to be increased as the principal grew smaller. Such a plan would receive the okay of tne Local Government Commission and likewise, eventual ; Continued on page four lu 1917 they borrowed $500 from a New Bern bank to make the down payment on a 384 acre worn out tract of land in Harlowe township, bought two pairs of mules and a farm wagoij all on credit. At that time none of the farm was under cultivation, although a part of it had been under cultivation a num ber of years before, but had been a bandoned and allowed to grow up in weeds an'd shrubs. They bought the' tract, despite the fact their friends and neighbors advised them not to do it -that the soil was no good and they would surely fail. But instead of becoming discouraged they made investigations, first by sending soil samples to the Agricul tural Extension Service in Raleigh where after analysis they were advis ed while the soil was badly run down, that with proper care and treatment it had ' possibilities of developing good crops.

It was the first time I had seen him since 1925 when he was working on a highway construction job at Chuca tuuk, Va., and I was returning from a somewhat similar job near Clarksburg, W. Va. It was mighty good to see Hugh again, especially since he has graduated from one matrimonial venture and entered the sea of matrimony with another mate. They seem to be having fine sailing together, which is as such cruises are supposed to be. HUGH'S WIFE is a Floridian.

Metcalf. Mr. Sea well was suffering from a somewhat serious vertabrae trouble. In Beau fort and Carteret county he is well known and has many friends who will regret to learn that he is in the hospital. He first came to Beau fort about eight years ago, later taking over the operation of Per quimans Plantation, out near The Open Grounds. friin.y .ffciVYV '.&'-'-''-: ' .xo .... .1 wn w.

Reference in minutes of meeting referred only to Judge of Recorder's Court who upon motion of Commissioners McCabe, was ordered to appear before the board the first Monday in Sept ember and make explanations why fines and costs imposed in his court are not collected, the reason we are using this as first in series of proposed stories.

Far too lengthy to give a concise summary in one edition of a news paper without crowding out other worthwhile news, The Beaufort News this week will print only that part of the audit pertaining to the Recorder's Court. In subsequent edi tions, the complete comments on each office and division of county government involved will be given. In regards to Recorder's Court one finds no complimentary terms in the comments of the Auditing firm.
