It was one of many similar saw mills operating in that section of the State at the time, but I thought it v;as a gigan tic affair. About 25 persons were em ployed, including the iNegro sawyer, who sawed by day and helped oper ate a moonshine liquor still at night. Saw milling was fascinating work to me. It was the first real job I had ever tackled, but I lost all interest in the work when the sawyer of an other mill nearby was ripped open from shoulder to hiip, making two dead pieces of body where one live body had been before. So it was not long until I drifted intto other fields. THAT WAS THE last saw-mill I ever had a chance to observe close ( Continued on page eight) f IN WASHINGTON WrIAT fit ?. u The visit of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,' wife of the President, to North Carolina, where she will be the honor guest of the stalwart citizens of the Eastern Section of the state, at Wallace, is more evidence of the part women are playing in public affairs. Like her distinguished hus band, Mrs. Roosevelt utilizes every opportunity to meet and mingle with people and her many visits to the .state are evidence of her keen apprec iation for North Carolina, where she is always given a hearty welcome. Therefore, the great gathering scheduled for Wallace on Friday, the First Lady as the guest of honor, gives me a long-postponed oppor (Continued on page eight) 18 TAKINQ L v I p Tomatoes Green pack tomato ship ments will probably start from Beaufort early next week, it was stated here today. Over 600 Carteret acres are devot ed to the growing of tomatoes and it is estimated that any where from 50 to 100 solid car loads packed green in lugs will be shipped out by railway re frigerator cars during the month ending July IS. Already ripe to matoes have been harvested by gardeners in Carteret county. H. B. Avery, flower grower who has four rows, pulled red toma toes three weeks ago. George W. Huntley who has consider able acreage devoted to toma toes will probably be the first to ship any in marketable quan tities. Professional tomato wrap pers and packers who go from tomato state to tomato state during seasons are arriving in Carteret this week.

Simultaneously with this announcement the management stated that a series of added attrac tions would be presented at The Casino and Beach during the seas on.

The prices will be for adults, $5 and for children $2.50. A season ticket en titling the holder to every dance pre sented in The- Casino this summer "With all of the easy money that is floating around the United States of America and with all that has been and is be ing expended by the State of North Carolina for purposes less laudable than the continuation of the railroad to Beaufort, it is nothing short of betrayal of the people of Beaufort and Eastern Carteret county to abolish their railroad facilities while these other things are receiving favorable attention." (Excerpt from letter.) (Editor's Note: Seldom does a weekly newspaper editor receive favorable criticism on editorials he has written from the folks at home. Frequently the small town editor receives unfavorable criticism. . . Recent ly we have tried to put up an editorial fight in behalf of the railroad which serve Beaufort. It was a former resident who showed enough interest to write similar views to the editor. That is why it is a pleasure to pub lish the splendid letter from Thomas H. Carrow, Superintendent of Safety for the Pennsylvania Railroad with headquarters in Philadelphia. A. B.) It follows! Editor of The News: I have read with much interest and I may say apprehension, the ar ticles that have appeared in recent issues of The Beaufort News relative to the impending discontinuance at Morehead City of that part of the former Norfolk-Southern Railroad extending between Morehead and Beaufort. If this proposal is consummated it will be a tragic misfortune to Beau fort and that part of Carteret Coun ty extending eastwardly and north wardly thereof. In some ways I feel as well quali fied to speak on this question as those who reside in Beaufort or vi cinity or those who will make the final discussion on this matter. I was born and reared in Beaufort and I fiiiiii.ii.iiiiiMiHaWiMjii mmmmmmmmm Anglers Catch Fish waterfront as it is approached from anglers fishing out of here at this waterfront, one of the prettiest in especially the residential area. With for Front Street the waterfront and a half to Beaufort Community is Beaufort's harbor which has a a port of entry since 1723. Offering will dost only $7.50. Dances are pre sented each week-day evening. The management stated that with in the next few days announcements would be made about added attrac tions. Tentative plans are to bring professional actors from New York City i'or the entertainment of Casino patrons. There will be no extra chargfe for these attractions which will be presented during the dance periods.' Announcement will be made soon relative to- nrnnnifi nthlftir nfroc. Tlionsai the resort and at an early date too, a weekly feature of Atlan tic Beach will be Cabaret Nights, it was stated. Valuable Property Bought By Britton , Charles Britton and associates this week bought the Beaufort Lumber and Manufacturing Company near the eastern limits of the town on the waterfront. While no price was men tioned in connection with the sale it was stated by an official of the com pany here liquidating the property of the lumber company recently that they were asking $20,000 for the 45 or more acres in the area. It is un derstood from reliable sources that Mr. Britton and his associates will develop the property as a residen tial area. recall with vivid distinctness the fact that there was no road running into Beaufort until some years after I left. On the morning of my depar ture I, with a number of other cit izens, boarded the Naptha Launch Sadie at five o'clock and we chug ged our way to the railroad station at the end of the line which was lo cated where the Port Terminal has been built. I was an impressionable youth and I recall very distinctly something that the late Albert I. Lewis said: "You can talk about sunny Italy but it has nothing on this." He was referring to the gor geous sunrise which was manifesting itself with a flood of light over the waters which were infinitely more beautiful before the hideous looking (Continued on page four) m Eiiistrict Clubs RS get June 17th Potatoes One pound Irish potatoes are being dug on other farms in Carteret it has been revealed to the editor since he wrote the story about the pair from Dr. C. W. Lewis's place last week. On Friday L. D. Mathis of Mathis Cafe displayed five in his window which weighed over one pound each or a total of five pounds and seven ounces . . . On Wednesday Mrs. E. P. Savage sent the editor a 1 -pounder by Mail Carrier Charles Hassell. But the champion spud of the week which looked more like an Artie sea bird than an Irish po tato was brought ia by T. C. Cuthrell of Russell's Creek. His freakish potato weighed one pound and seven onuces and that is a big spud regardless of what it looks like and perhaps the champion in size of any dug from East Carteret farms to date. J. H. NEAL WILL HEAD NEW FIRM Work To Begin At Once On $30,000 Builders Supply Company Work will begin at an early date on the construction of a $10,000 warehouse at the corner of Live Oak and Pine Streets to house a $30,- 000 builders supply company, it was announced this week by J. H. Neal -president and general manager of Carteret Hardware Company, Inc, The new firm will specialize in the wholesale lumber and building sup ply business it was stated. Bids for the construction of the warehouse have been mailed this week, and actual work on the build ing, a structure 60 by 200 feet will start simultaneously with the accept ance of a low bid. The organization will be headed by Mr. Neal, but it will be a separate corporation from Carteret Hardware Company. The initial cost of $10,000 will be used in the construction of the ware house only and will not include costs of building a sour railroad track to the site of the structure. The total investment including the supply of stock to be carried will be approxi mately $30,000. The new firm will be completed and open for business within 90 davs from the date work on warehouse be gins, it was stated. Mr. Neal will re tain his present connections with Carteret Hardware Company in ad dition to handling the new firm. ANGLERS' TALE OF CELESTIAL ICE A big catch of Spanish mack erel, Blues, and Bonito were brought into port Wednesday night aboard the cruiser "Idle On" packed in ice which had fal len from the sky 24 hours be fore. It is probably the mast extraordinary fish story of this or perhaps many seasons. Never theless it is true. Early Tuesday Dr. Joe Speed, Dr. H. M. Brinkley, Dr. A. H. Powell and Dr. W. M. Copp ridge of Durham sailed with Capt. John Dickinson aboard his boat Idle-On for Cape Look out. The trolling enroute was fine until the squall came up late in the afternoon. With the squall came hail, and hailstones as large as lemons fell on the waters nearby and into the cock pit of the boat. Strange to say the fish did not stop biting, but it was necessary for safety's sake that the anglers seek shel ter in the cabin. When the storm finally subsid ed, the cockpit was filled ankle deep with hailstones. Instead of shoveling the ice overboard, Capt Dickinson placed it in an ice t ox and packed the catch in same. When he reached port wita his party Wednesday night the ice had not melted, and the fish taken the previous day were in a perfect state of preserva ti in.

Atlantic Beach management ( Continued on page eight) Fishing And ALL- X By AYCOCK BROWN THE WEATHER WAS not right so that Gulf Stream fishing trip diJ not materialize last Friday. Maybe tomorrow it will be a different story. The squall Tuesday afternoon smooth ed the surface of the sea which had been choppy and rolling for sever al days. For 10 days I gazed out of my office window on 'Old Topsail, and saw nothing but white caps. Tov day and since that squall there ha hardly been a ripple on the water. Wonderful Gulf Stream fishing weatli ELSEWHERE IS A story about the four Durham doctors who were out in a hail storm near Cape Look out on Tuesday. It was an unusual experience for land-lubbers, or any body as for that matter to be catch ing fish and then have ice in the form of lemon-sized hailstones dropr out of the sky into the cockpit of the boat to be used for packing the catch.
