ATTFORT NEWS THU RSDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1936 PRICE 5c SINGLE COPY NUMBER 4 VOLUME XXV 1 To Insta Off icers 11 New Dec. 1 But Many Re-Elected Will Retain Jobs They Now Hold FLASHBACKS REVEAL ONE OR TWO ERRORS The election is over but the melo dy lingers on. Newly elected coun ty officers will be installed into of fice on December 1, but as many of the successful candidates were up for re-election, they will merely retain their jobs for duration of their terms. Trying to give the readers of Th- Beaufort News an approximate analy sia of how Carteret voted without any delay, two precincts, Atlantic and Stella, returns of which arrived af ter tabulation, were not included in the Tabulated vote last week. Be cause many readers depend on The Beaufort News' ea3y to understand tabulated table we are running same again this week. It will be found on page seven and is corrected to date. Flashbacks from the election re vealed a few errors in last week's election story. The Beaufort News gave Irvin W, Davis, register of deeds credit for having the largest majority of any candidate in Carter et. While Davis polled the largest number of votes of any county can didate, 3622, his was not the largest majority. His majority over Waddell H. Pridgen was 1,527. M. Leslie Davis, solicitor of Recorder's court with 1,687, topped the list from a majority standpoint while Phillip K. Ball, for surveyor, with 1,587 came second. Davis was third. Other ma iorities of county candidates follow Coroner Smith, 1,449; Judge Webb, 1,396; Representative Seeley, 1,404. The Democratic state senators and the county commissioners had almost a two to one lead over thehr Bepub' lican opponents. Sheriff Chadwick Dolled 3,476 votes as compared to 2,193 for candidate Davis. Davis polled more votes than any other Re publican candidate, either local, stat; or rational. The Beaufort News erred in the Merrimon vote for Jashua Hardy, a citizen of that precinct running for county commissioner. Last week in the vote table he was given only 62 votes as compared to 73 for McCabe. It should have been just the reverse, with McCabe getting the 62 and Hardy the 73. In all tabulated votes, published in both of the newspapers of Carteret county, an error was made in the Rosevelt and Congressional votes of Beaufort. This was due to the fact that in the final check-up absentee -votes were not included for these (Continued on page eight Barden Set New District Record CORRECTION About 300 copies of this edi tion were printed before an er ror in the Tabulated Vote of Carteret County, appearing on page seven was discovered.

Barden set a new record for congressional candidates in the Third District at the recent elec tion. He not only polled the largest number of votes cast for a candidate, but he also had the largest majority. His total vote was 34,217 in the nine counties of his District as com pared to 11,673 for Julian Gas kill his Republican opponent. His majority over Gaskill was 22,544 in the District. The Congressional vote by counties follow: Carteret: Barden 3868, Gaskill 1814; Pamlico: Barden 1481, Gaskill 813; Craven: Bar den 5373, Gaskill 292; Jones: Barden 1431, Gaskill 144; Dup lin: Barden 5349, Gaskill 1236; Onslow: Barden, 2454, Gaskill, 192; Sarspson: Barden 5414, Gaskill 5192; Wayne: Barden 6574, Gaskill 1728; Pender: Barden, 2295, Gaskill 253. 100,000 Terrapins .v J I Capt. Charles Hatsell To say that he has propagated 100,000 Diamond Back terrapins since he established this work at the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries on Piv ers Island here would be putting it very mildly. The actual number that Capt. Hatsell has reared would prob ably far exceed that figure. His fame as a terrapin propagator is re nown the world around. He also takes care of the loggerhead turtles in the salt water pool on the island. This week he placed Old Ironsides, the 300-pounder in the outside pool to a smaller tank on the inside where steam heat will give the ancient rep tile a better chance to survive when the weather gets cold this winter. Pack of Dogs Are Killing Chickens Last week this newspaper editor ialized on the dog situation in Beau fort. Many people who read that ed itorial stopped the editor on the street and praised him for the inter est he was taking in trying to im nrnvp doff- ridden Front street. On lWnnrlAv of this week Capt. Davo Willis, brought a chicken which had lust hppn killed bv several dogs on the courthouse green. "Thought you might want to write sometmng aDouc this," said Capt. Dave, when he brought the mangled fryer to tha Beaufort News office. A New Feature "A Sea Gull Told Me" the title of a candid column about the younger set of Carteret's towns and hamlets which starts this week in The Beau fort News. The columnist is our Miss Taylor who signs the articles "Mar ianne." We hope the column proves of much interest and The Editor would appreciate your comments.

The penalty for being drunk and disorderly has apparently been modified. Jack Garrison, Alex Wilson, Mark Washington, and Milan Gabrnel each were given 10 days on this charge. Eugene Springle was fined $10 for being drunk. Charley Debrix charged with fighting was not tried and neither were Cecil Merrill Milan Gabriel or Roy Merrill. The charge against Milan Gabriel on breaking and entering was continu ed or elevated to Recorder's court. Two violations of the North Caro lina election laws were aired in Re corder's court here on Tuesday bo fore Judge Paul Webb. One of the defendants was let off with a three months suspended jail sentence but probable cause was found in the oth er case and the violator was bound over to Superior Court under bond of $150 on the charge which in court circles is considered a felony. Both of the violations occurred in Sea Level precinct. Daily Salter, 19 year old youth was found guilty of violating Section 4185 of the N. C. Public Laws, which has to do with the intimidation of a voter. It seems that Dailey tried to tell someone how to vote or how not to vote. Whether he is a young Democrat or a young Re publican was not learned by the Beaufort News reporter, but anyway he is not of voting age and pro ably today he is thanking his lucky stars that he is not 21, because if he had been things might have gone bad for him. , . , Other messing around the Sea Lev el voting polls were revealed in the trial of John Elliott, charged with assaulting Murray Mason, registrar of that precinct.

We are refer ring to a group of youngsters or old sters here in Beaufort who have a habit of going around trifling with people"s automobiles after they have been parked for the night. Deflating tires is one of their principal tricks. A local officer has a list of names of those who have been up to this ma liciousness and arrests are scheduled if the deflation gang does not cease operation at once. Covering The WATER FRONT J By AYCOCK BROWN THE BIG YACHT you have seen tied up at the Inlet Inn wharf for the past several days is the Sachem II, bound for Miami, Florida. The vessel is owned by C. R. Hooker, a retired capitalist of New Haven, Conn. Mr. Hooker, however, is not a borad. The Hettie, a 2-masted aux iliary craft has been tied up at Tex aco wharf for the past several days.

Reared as the child of S. D. Burgess, and his good wife in the little town, of Cherry, she grew to love them as her true parents and never expected to be rich. And so quite unspoiled and unaffected by her beauty and her money, she prefers to remain with the Burgesses. Mr. Burgess, who is a descendant on his grandmother's side of the Etheridges of Roanoke Is land, runs a store and farm at Cherry, about nine miles from Columbia and near Creswell. His father, the late Thos. Etheridge Burgess, went to Washington County on a sailing vessel from Roanoke Island and mar ried Lize Davis.

Menhaden Fleet In Port; Fishing Good The Menhaden fleet is in port and despite the fact southeast weather conditions prevented boat3 from go ing to sea today, operators of local fish scrap factories are optimistic. fiver a half million fish were caught by boats of the fleet down at Hatter as Inlet on Tuesday, and 'chore is ev ery indication that m?nhaden will be plentiful for awhile. One factory op erator said today that many sharks were found in the menhaden schools down near Hatteras Inlet which is an indication that more fish are in the offing. What the members of the fleet want right now more than anything else is a shift of the wind from south east to the westward. TIDE TABLE Information as to the tide at Beaufort is given in this column. The figures are approx imately correct and based on tables furnished by the U. S- Geodetic Survey. Some allow ances must be made for varia tions in the wind and also with respect to the locality, that is whether near the inlet or at the heads of the estuaries.
