Photo reprinted courtesy News & Observer) During The Days Of Queen Ann Land In Carteret Was Cheap A 225 acre tract of land near Beaufort was sold to General William Reed 'for 45 shillings, by "His Excel lency, the most noble Henry, Duke of Beaufort and the rest of the true and aBsolute Lord3 Proprietors of Carolina," back in 1718, and it was the first transfer of property record ed in the books now at the register of deeds office. Starting at that date and coming through the years to 1936, the entire file of books and rec ords in the register of deeds office will be indexed. Work on the index ing began this week a WPA pro ject. Eight women were given employ ment on Monday to start the work. The completion of the job may take a year or longer, as there are many records to be indexed, which means work for a small group of women for quite a long time. The land grant co William Reed back in 1713 was the first entered on the books. Forty five shillings of English money today would be only a few dollars. The tract in question was just north of Beaufort. Signing the instrument of transfer William Reed, Thomas Pollock, Christopher Gale and T. Boyd. Many other inter esting records are in file at the register of deeds office and will be indexed by workers on this WPA project INDUSTRIAL HEARING HELD HERE TUESDAY Van Buren Journey of the N. C.

She was transporting the President of our United States to h Peace Parley in Buenos Aires. At ti acting less attention was a Nor wegian freighter with a cargo of salt which cleared at 2 o'clock (ac cording to a telegram received by Port Manager Beaman) for More head City. But the freighter flying Norwegian colors will attract plenty of attention when she arrives at the new port terminal in Morehead Ciyt today. That is because it is the first foreign cargo to be received at the terminal. THE FIRST CARGO of any con sequences arriving at the new port was Horton's beer and ale consign ed to the Southeastern Distributing Company. Eight thousand cases of beer and ale was received less than a month ago and already over 200 dealers in Eastern North Carolina have been supplied with the product. People when they think of beer or ale are thinking of, calling for and drinking Hortons, spelled H-O-R-T-O-N as the voice of the screen says it every night at so much per say. The Southeastern Distributing Company was one of the first spon sors for the Voice from the Screen program which is presented each night at The Beaufort Theater. THE SHIPMENT OF salt expec.ei today originated at a port in Tunisia, a French procectorate in north Af rica, on the Bay of Gabes, quite some time ago. Sfax, the port, has a population of 36,000 persons. The province of Tunisia is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, en the east by Libya, an Italian pro tectorate and Algiers, another French province. Much delay was caused with the shipment due to the Spanish Revolution, which tied up shipping of some nations in the Med iterranean. SPECIAL EQUIPMENT lor handl ing the salt which is arriving in bulk, has been installed in the terminal transit sheds at Morehtad City, says Mr. Beaman. The shipment is con signed to Charles R. Alten of Char leston who notified dealers in this section some time ago that he would be ready to supply their salt needs through the Morehead port at an early date. The Allen interests will give jobs to. several men in re-handling the cargo. ' It will have to be graded and sacked for distribution to various firms buying same.
