Checker Player

R. C. HARRIS
Only four parsons in North Caro
lina can play checkers better than
R. C. Harris, manager of oHtel Fort
Macon in Morehead City according
the present day records. In the
above photo reprinted through cour
testy of the Richmond Times Dis
patch, Mr. Harris is shown in a
tourney he attended there recently.
Due to the fact that he had to make
a hurried return to Morehead City
on business he was not able to com
plete in that tourney and his score
was thrown out. Mr. Harris is un
doubtedly the checker champ of Car
teret county, and would like to be
challenged by anyone who really
knows the game. He would also like
to contact any Carteret players who
would like to get up a local tourney.

Political Round- Up
AYCOCK
Supporters of Charles L. Aberne
thy, Jr., who was seeking the Congres
sional nomination last year said a
few days before election that if Beau
fort would support him he in turn
wolud get a new post-office building
for the town ... At the same time
a few close friends of Representative
Graham A. Barden knew that he had
already secured an appropriation for
a Federal building here . . . Congress
man Barden had said two months be
fore that he would try and get the
appropriation on condition that his
promise was not used in the cam
paign ... A Virginian here fishing
this week was told about the appro
priation, and he said, "Beaufort a
town of less than 3,500 population is
lucky to get a building to cost $118
000 .. . Uuually it Is a $50,000 build
ing a town of this size gets" ... A
few weeks ago there were skeptics
hereabouts who were predicting that
some sort of jam up might occur so
that Beaufort would not get her Fed
eral building . . . Such is not the
case however because bids for con
structing same were advertised on j
August 30th . . . Will be opened Oc
tober 7th . . . That news come from
Barden the man who secured the ap
propriation . . . And it is definite
. . . There wlil be some more definite
good news coming from Congressman
Barden's office for Morehead City,
Atlantic, Beaufort and Harkers Is
land at a near date . . . Mark those
words . . . With the new Board of
Commissioners it is still strictly bus
iness ... I say that assuming the
Town board had a bit to say about
where the new sanitary department
truck should be purchased . . There
is nothing wrong with a Chevrolet!

pleted. Definite rescinding of the

RAPE CHARGE IN

Lloyd Blake Jailed
When Accused By
Mary Jones
A warrant was sworn out by Mrs.
Lucille Jone3 of Morehead City
early today against Lloyd Blake,
state highway employee, and resident
of Burgaw, whom she charges, "did
unlawfully, willfully, feloniously and
forcibly ravish and carnally know a
female to-wit: Mary Jones, said car
nal knowledge being by force and a
gainst the will of said female, said
female being over 12 years of ase."
In plainer English, Mrs. Jones is al
leging that her daughter Mary was
raped by Blake, who was taken from
a local rooming house this morning
and placed in jail without privilege
of bond, because the charge is a cap
ital offence.
It is all alleged to have happened
on the beach last night. Blake who
had been employed on the Gloucester-
Marshallberg road project denied
the charges.
Sheriff Chadwick was issisted in
making the arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Vernon Guthrie and one or two other
Morehead City officers and a local
policeman. Also present at the time
of the arrest was Mrs. Jones and her
daughter Mary who is said to be 14
years old. It was suggested that an
examination of the girl be made by
a physician, then and there, but no
such examination was made, and as

CONGRESSMAN BARDEN
GIVES INFORMATION
Representative Graham A.
Barden who with his family
spent several days at the In
let Inn here stated before re
turning to his home in New
Bern on Wednesday, that his
office had been advised by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Purdum, that bids for
the $118,000 federal building
would be advertised for on
August 30th. Mr. Purdum
advised the Congressman that
Procurement Division officials
had said also that bids would
be opened in Washington on
October 7th.
While it was not definitely stated,
it is expected that actual work on
the structure which will house a post
office, a deputy collector's office and
other federal agencies will begin ear
ly in November. It will take several
months to complete the buliding,
which is to be one of a semi-Colonial
design and located at the corner of
Front and Pollock street.
Representative Barden secured the
appropriation for this building early
in June, 1937. At the time the ap
propriation was made, it was stated
that several months would elapse
before bids would be advertised.
Changes in plans recently delayed
the advertising for several weeks.

ALL OUTDOORS
By AYCOCK BROWN
FISHING HAS not been good in
surrounding waters during the past
several days. And it can all be
blamed on the weather. When any
one makes a good catch of fish when
the wind is blowing from the east
ward it is news. Izzak Walton quite
some time ago said that anglers
should not fish on an easterly wind.
It was good advice then.. and now.
WE MADE AN attempt to reach
the Gulf Stream on Monday moningf
the trird such attempt this columnist
has made so fa this summer. But
the ground swell was too much for
us and we had to turn back after
sailing seaward south of Cape Look
out breakwater for a short distance.
Even the still fishing was not so good
dwn at the Cape last Monday. Quite
a few croakers, hogfish, sea muffeST
and such were landed by the boy?,
but the fish were so small they loole

SINCE THE adjournment of
Congress, members are giving more
real attention to studies of the farm
problem than perhaps any other
phase of pending legislation. The
word pending can be used because
the farm problem will be the first or

or at a special session should one be
called by the President.
SUCH STUDIES disclose som
cheerful factors with reference t
the general improvement of agricul
