No Cause For Alarm
A number of citizens in Beau
fort have become alarmed about
the proposed Federal and Post
office building for Beaufort. A
few weeks ago . a story in The
Beaufort News stated that re
ports from Washington indicated
that the bids for the structure,
for which a plot of ground at the
corner of Front and Pollock
streets has already been pur
chased and cleared, would be ad
vretised about August 1. Ayrock
Brown secretary of The Cham
ber of Commerce wired Con

to get more definite information
His wire in reply follows:

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ap
pearance at Manteo yesterday where
he made a speech which was heard by
thousands who made thj trek there
and by millions over the radio was
not on his first trip to the Carolina
coast. In December 1915 he came to
Carteret county and spent several
days at Mott's Clubhouse down in
Core sound, hunting red-heads sprig
tails and other species of duck. At
that time Mr. Roosevelt was assistant
secretary of the U. S. Navy. His
chief, Secretary of the Navy Jose
phus Daniels wired M. Leslie Davis
here that his assistant was coming
down with a party of sportsmen and
that he would appreciate if he( Mr.
Davis) would meet the train bringing
the party.

The visit of President Roosevelt to
Roanokke Island, coming at a time
when legislation of great importance
to the South is pending in Congress
and when North Carolina is making
a strong bid for streams of vacation
travel, is certain to be helpful to the
state. And the fact that he accepted
the invitation at a period when afairs
in Washington demand close atten
tion is evidence of his intertst in the
South.
From a historical standpoint, the
President's trip to Roanoke Island
has great significance. It means
that perhaps for the first time a Pres
ident of the United States will visit
.the place where was bora the first

The Leonidas
The most typical tramp steamer to
call at Morehead City port terminal
for a cargo of scrap metal was the
Leonidas N. Condylis, which hailed
from Andros, Greece. She sailed
several days ago loaded to the gun
wales with metal. The top photo
shows the vessel alongside tho pier
in Morehead City taking on cargo.
Hunting Licenses For
New Season Are Ready
Hunting licenses for the coming
season have ben placed on sale at
several places in Carteret county, it
was announced today by Game Ward
en Leon Thomas. In Beaufort and
Morehead City the hardware stores
will again handle licenses this year.
For the hunter headed down east who
forgot to buy his licenses in town,
same may be obtained from Tom
Tosto Service Station on Atlantic
Road or from official representatives
of the State Department and Con
servation located in practically every
communityin the county. There will
be no more excuse for hunters going
after game without licenses and if
they do they will be subject to
arrest
Fights
Twenty Two Rounds
On Casino Card
Friday Night
Twenty two rounds of boxing will
be presented in Atlantic Beach Cas
ino on Friday night, August 20, with
the hard slugging Jack O'dell of Dur
ham meeting Bobby Burton of Clarks
ville, Va., in the main bout. The
fights on Friday will be under the
promotion of Mike Friedman of Dur
ham and the various rounds will be
refereed by Jake Denning who also
hails from the Bull City.
The main bout will be 8-rounds if
a kuyo does not make a reduction.
In the semi-finals Louis Parish of
Durham will meet Jerry Reaves of
Greenville, S. C. In a special event
of four rounds Roy Gainey, North
Carolina boxer will fight Johnny Sla
ter of Macon, Ga. Another 4
round bout will feature Tiny Jackson
listed on the cards as hailing from
Raleigh and James Moore of Ashe
ville. It is likely, according to ad
vance advertising that one or more
additional bouts will be presented.
The admission price for these
fis-hta will be considerably lower
than that charged for other boxing
shows presented in ine casino this
summer.

pre-pre-election rumors where any

lots of credit for publicizing the
coast through national wires of the
Associated Press. . . While he takes
the credit I will continue receiving a
bit of cash for the meager services I
contribute. . . . I'll take the cash any
time in preference to credit. . .
There are two stories and both of
them hinge around politics over in
Morehead City which are almost at
the hatching stage. . . Now when
those stories are flashed across the
wires, one of them at anyrate is
quite likely to be published in the

considerable interest. . . . Probab'y I

called to tell me that I was wrong,
but I was out at the time so the mes
sage just floated back to me through
various sources. . . . The Beaufort

to make a bid for the county dollars
which will be spent for advertising

wrong about the County Board mem

On Monday night about 9:30
o'clock Elmo Gaikill, 27-year
old ton of Norman Gaskill,
prominent merchant of Sea

out back of hi home there. Re
turning to the house a few min
utes later he was suddenly
struck with extreme pains which
orginated in the lower part of
his body and gradually became
general. . . A physician in Atlan
tic was summoned and be made
eyery effort to locate the cause
of the trouble and started treat
ment. Late Tuesday when no
improvement in Gaskill's condi
tion was noted and he was grow
ing steadily worse, it was neces
sary to rush him to Potters Em
ergency Hospital here whore his
ailment was diognosed as poison
ing. But what kind of poison-"
ing had hospital attaches baf
fled at first. Then it was de
finitely determined that Gaskill
had been bitten by a black wid
ow spider. Late Wednesday
afternoon he was still in criti
cal condition but had begun to
show some favorable re-action
to the treatment.. .Today he was
still showing improvement, and
his physicians think he has a
good chance for recovery. Elmo
