O'NEAL of Ocracoke sends me down a photograph of a 50 pound Tarpon taken recently with rod and reel by Homer Howard in Royal Shoals Slough, the largest ever taken there according to Mr. O'Neal. It is the third tarpon taken with rod and reel in Pamlico sound during the past two years and definitely proves that these 'silver-kings' which annu ally attract thousands of fishermen to Florida waters are to be had right here at home for the angler who will go after them. No icthyologist has given definite proof yet, but there is a possibility that the tarpon coming into the sounds of North Carolina are coming to spawn. AFTER THE BIG storm of 1933 Wallace Springer of Ocracoke found a half dozen young fish resembling Tarpon in a small pool left by the re ceeding tides on the island.

J. G. Alien to consider carefully the Flat Feu Rental Sys tem before purchasing any textbooks for their children. Last year it wa3 possible for a student to rent part of his books and to buy part of his books. The new Flat Fee Rental System in vogue in the county this year for the first time means simply that a student must either rent all of his books oi buy all of his books. This plan is ef fective this year in Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Brunswick, Hyde, Moore, Lee and Carteret counties, and is be lieved to be the new system which will ultimately apply to the state's 100 counties until such time as free textbooks may be furnished. The two plans of rental will be followed: Plan A which will apply to all one-teacher schools and to Stella Colored, and which will supply all basal textbooks of whatsoever kind prescribed for the year for the fol ( Continued on page eight) I County Farm Agent V Ac"' Hugh Overstreet For the past several years he has been Carteret county farm agent.
