Mullet, ilium, trout, sheeps he;;i!, spots, fat-backs and various o:iu: kinds of tish are caught at all tin:. a of the year. As early as 1771, a legislation to ivf'-rd fishing began and has not ce;'"! yet. The legislature of that year passed an act entitled: " A bill to pi event Untimely destruction of the lish in Core and Bogue Sounds." The only regulation about fishing in the early days seems to have been that residents had to be licensed to Institute fish. For many years there has been a ! and a I law against non-resident tiawie.s fishing along the North Carolina coa: t. and, with the last Legislutui - Representative Fred R. Seeley from Be.iufort secured an appropriation of $25,000 for constructing a sea-going ship to enforce this law. There are also : lany factories at and around Be:. . ort where fish scrap and oils ai . made from men-1 haden. Oysters, Cii ns, and crabs are! sunshine. Especially the oii suit ed to raisin.

This mill, the Scar'i..i Safrit Lumber Company is aiso n gagei in making fish boxes and cer tain kinds of crates in addition t carrying on a general building sup ply business. There are also sever:.! barrel facto: ies at Peaufort whie:; supply the potato growers with bar rels. Beaufort has had good schools for over a hundred years.

The game will be called at three o'clock. caught in the surrounding waters and shipped to other places. Farming is Beaufort's second larg est industry, and in the vicinity, one finds many small and large farms. During recent years,, Beaufort has become a great trucking center due to its rich soil, suitable climate, and good transportation facilities. Toma toes, beans, potatoes and early veg- etables grow and prosper in the warm ored children. Twenty white teach ers were employed at that time. Also, at that time, Beaufort had a nine months school instead of a six months yeai, as they mad formerly had. This enabled the students to cover more woik and to get through school mors quickly than formerly, as it had then taken a student a year and a half to finish one grade. Well Managed Birds Pay Biggest Profit RALEIGH, Sept. 1 The poultry man who has a well managed flock i the pouitryman who will receive the biggest returns from the fal! in crease in egg production. A few pointers on good flock man agement have been set forth by Roy S. Dearstyne, hea i of the State Col lege poultry department. Pullets should be about : eudy for the laying house in Septcr.-.'ocr, he said. The house should bo th jrjuili ly cleaned and disinfected befo e the birds are placed insLe. Broken window panes should !. replaced, and if drop curtains art used on open-front houses, thr-s? should be cheeked for needed repairs. Cull all pullets carefully. Market all sub-normal birds, especially those with excessive bleaching of shank and face parts. These birds are usu ally carriers of coccidiosis. Do not change pullets from grow ing mash to laying mash unm tii.j have reached 25 per cent production Then change the mash gradually ovo. a period ow two .veeks. Dont buy cheap mash it is the most expensive in tonus of results produced for money sp.r.C. Keep a good grade of mash bol'ore iircs at all tin es. See that they have plenty of fresh water. Practice vivid sanitation to keep the death rate down. Keep accurate recoil's on the flock. Without records, the poultry business is a hit-or-miss afrit ir, mostly miss. Giod breeding males are essential but scarce. If these have not been sewed, get them at once. September is a good month to plant grazing crops. A mixture of Italian rye grass an i crimson clover sown in September will provide ex cellent winter and spring grazing. Atlantic Breaks One-One Tie And Defeats Pirates 2 V. W. CLARKE ATLANTIC.
