James Wheatly Is
Selling Insurance
James Wheatly who foi the past
two or three years has worked as a
salesman for R. Felton & Son has en
tered a new field. He is now the lo
cal agent for the Provident Life and
Accident Insurance Company of
Chattanooga, Tenn. Early this week
A. J. Lewis, district agent for Provi
dent Life and Accident company with
headquarters in Rocky Mount, came
to Beaufort to give Mr. Wheatly a
bit of training in the insurance field.
James Wheatly has a great many
friends in Beaufort who will be
wishing him success in his new field
of work.

nother eating place will open in Beau

ing them all success. What I would
like to see established in this section
is a sort of exclusive beer-garden or
tavern where a person could go and
take his wife and sisters if he wished
without being bothered with a lot of
saturated bar-rats. And something
else. -I wish Carteret county gener

P :i:'iui'f.t,
Throughouut our whole history any
suggestion affecting the nation's high
est tribunal has brough: a barrage j
of public statements. F artunately, j
the radio offers a new form of dis-:
cussion and, with the pi ess, jrives our
people ample means of hearing and ;
reading both sides of the questions.
WHATEVER MAY be said, for or '
against the President's court plan,
there should be kept in mind the fact
that the Chief Executive was given
a tremendous vote of confidence
last November. The majority of our
people tendered this vote of confid
ence. Therefore, any recommenda
tion made by the President deserves
to be weighed on its merits and given
the acid test of ''valu" to the public
good," rather than be affected by
snap ju .'cement. The people, with
their views reflected in Congress, w
be the final arbiter. It is an axiom
in political economy that the masses
will, in the final analysis, find the
correct answer to any question.
FOR THE MOMENT, t'-,e o.;.posal
for reorganization of the executive
branches of the Gover.iment is in the
background. Directlv. it mav cam-
as much significance to our people
as the Supreme Court plan, although
it does not stand out near so high i -i
j public interest.

rapidly on the course Itself. Grass isi tural problem, messages already sent
being planted or set out on the fair- j to Congress by the President and re
ways, and the 'roughs' adjoining the ; P0l ts f t'l0se to come indicate, that

and Long Leaf pines are being set , generally the "evei-normal granary"
idea.. a plan tor st --;ge of surpluses
in norm:l tir-us L r.-?tt times of dis

of constitutional action.

IN THE OLD DAYS it might have
been possible to gyp an insurance
compa-v-. Insurance scandals have
, popped u; :;!! over the country in
days gone by, many of which were
succes i'ul for some time.. but in this
day and time gyping an insurance
company is almost an impossibility.
They have systems of unraveling in

the activities of the Department of j
Intelligence, o. Scotland Yard. I
THE FIRM OF R. Felton and Son
has be. n changed to Feltons and now, j
Claude (Dick) Felton is sole owner I
of the establishment. Probably you I
nave noticed the latest canvas Keds
displayed in his show window. They
attracted my attention because of the
color, which this season is deep blue
and a color which Dick Felton says
will be the predominating style for
summer wear this year. Canvas
or tennis shoes in the past have been
something to cause prespiration in
the visinity of your feet.. but the
new 1937 edition of Keds H tenia iml
at Feltons have a feature which will 1
overcome that situation. .They are!
air-conditioned. Sounds funny to '
say a shoe is air-conditioned but if
you don't beiitve it ask Dick Felton
to show you what I mean.
I BELIEVE MRS. Wind- nd
Mrs Ed. Hancock will do a good busi
ness at their "Tea Kettle." Some
thing fascinating about the way they
advertise its location, "At The Sign
Of The Tea Kettle On Turner St
reet." It sounds like thp loesHnn nf
a place in London. And there is some
thing big-towny sounding about the
way The Beaufort Cafe advertises
their location, "In the heart of down
town Beaufort." Sounds like a radio
announcement of a grille or ball room
in New York or Chicago. There is
news going the rounds that even a-
year ago, and during a three year
period it seems than an oyster would
grow to such a size that nearby hum
ans would be permitted to tong them
for their own use, if not for market.
But sucii i nof the case and some
persons down there who has been
given a little authority, has been giv
ing the natives a little trouble. One
of the curses of America is giving a
small town or rural person a bit of
authority, .anothe- cirse is to forbid
residents of an island from tonging
for a mess of oysters on beds right
