Early last Thursday morning Sher

to a local rooming house where
Llovd Blake, a youthful young man
of Burgaw, who looks like a foot
ball half back, was sleeping. He was
dragged from bed upon the charges
of Mary Jones, and placed in jail on
a charge of rape, which in North
Carolina is a crime that one can be
nut to death for, if convicted. He
was jailed, without bond.
About 10 o'clock the following
morning Lucille Jones, mother of
Mary signed a warrant charging
that Blake raped her daughter.
On Thursday night Lloyd Blake
was in jail. Mary Jones, the 14-year

THOSE WATERSPOUTS which

25 years ago, according to our favor

which moved up the channel and st

a quarter of a century ago as one
which caused considerable alarm but
no damage . . Unless you could call
a flood of celestial fish damage.
THE ENTIRE WESTERN part of
town was literally sprayed with live
wiggling fish, some of them large
enough to eat, says Hatsell. Some

The Diesel-powered N C. Fisheries
Commission patrol boat Hatteras
which has been reconditioned at Bar
bour's Boat Shop in New Bern is
expected to sail from there for the
coast on Saturday or early next week
where the finishing touches will be
applied. In a few more weeks she
will go into service, patrolling ter
ritorial waters and make an effort
to prevent illegal trawl!ng.-.. ., .
When the vessel was purchased the
thought in view was to keep non-residents
trawlers beyond the three mile
limit. Since that time however, a
sub-committe of the Department of
Conservation and Development ap
pointed to investigate certain pro
posed changes in the Fisheries reg
ulations of the State, have come to
th( conclusion that they will rec-
omend that a rule prohibiting the
trawling by resident-boats be enacted
The ruling will probably not be adopt
ed until October meeting of the full
conservation board.
When the new boat was obtained
through the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries
she was powered with Sterling motors
Two Diesel engines have been substi
tuted, due to the substantial saving
it will make in operating costs. The
"Hatteras" is a 75-footer, and was
formerly a Coast Guard patrol boat.
A special appropriation of $25,000
for the acqusition of the boat and
operating expenses was made by the
General Assembly 1937, following
efforts on the part of Carteret's Rep
resentative Fred R. Seely.
When the finishing touches have
been given the boat it is likely that a
shakedown cruise will be taken with
officials of the Conservation board
going along as guests. .

George Brooks Jr., ace pitcher and
property of the St Louis Cardinals
will be guest hurler for Atlantic's
almost undefeated team next Sunday
when she meets Pollocksville, one of
the only two teams that has defeated
her so far this mound season.
'Brooksie' Brooks has been farm
ed out by his owners during the past
summer to Daytona Beach Islet3
which had an exceptionally good sea
son with the Beaufort youth doing
the hurling. If all the clippings of
news stories written about rJrooK-
sie' during his Daytona Beach mound
career were reprinted they would fill
every inch of this eight page edition
of the Beaufort News.
Georee Brooks is the son of Capt.
Brooks. He has been mak-
ine atneietic recoras ever nunc no
left Kindergarden. During the past
winter he was the best all-round athe
late at Middle Georgia college. He
returned home a few days ago from
Daytona for a short vacation before
leaving for school again. His ap
pearance in the pitchers box at At
lantic Sunday, will no doubt attract
a large number of Beaufort baseball
fans. Like the famous Jakie Wade
of Morehead City, young George
Brooks, when he gets on a baseball
diamond, usually starts making head
lines for the sports pages.
C. L. Beam of the First Citizens'
Bank and Trust Company is again I
president of the Carteret County
Fair, sponsored by Carteret Post 99 .
of the American Legion, which will
be sponsored here during the week
begining October 11. Indications are
that the fair this year will be just
as good or even better than th
event presented last year. Under h'.
presidency last year Carteret County
Legionaires presented one of the best
small town fairs in North Carolina.
Last year the Carteret County Fair
was the talk of the state, insofar a3
success of the event was concerned.
Mr. Beam stated this week that the
current year fair would be even better.

30 DAYS tAltnaiuw
By J. W. STEWART
TVio Carteret County Com
missioners met in regular ses
sion on Tuesday of this week
amid the usual noise and con
fusion. Very little was aone
and the majority of the work
o..nmnlisVie(T was the settle
ment of tax matters, although
a whole day was consumed ana
it was after six o'clock before a
recess was taken.
A delegation from Cedar Island
came before the board asking for the
re-establishment of a sewing room
for the communities of Roe and Lo
la. ,
The high light of the day was the
case of Mrs. Mollie Haskett of New
port. She came before the board
asking that they finish paying her
1936 taxes. The board had in April
rescinded an order made in May 1924
allowing her so much each month to
be applied to her taxes. Mr. Seeley
happened to be in the room and sh
jumped on him concerning not get
ting on the Old Age Security. Mrs.
Henderson, however, bore the brunt
of her attack. Sh -r-3 a vivid de
scription of the unjustices of Mrs.
Henderson in her dealing with her.
In the discussion Mr. Seeley intimat
ed that he had been informed, pre
sumably by Mrs. Henderson, that
Mrs Haskett had transferred prop
erty within the last two years
therefore was not entitled to receive
the Old Age Benefit. This Mrs. Has

Several Offices Now
At New Locations
Political Round- Up
By
AYCOCK BROWN
Dr. W. S. Chadwick, well known
physician of this county, announced
this week that he was moving his
office to a new location. In the future
his offices will be located upstairs,
over A. and P. and City Grocery
stores. The offices of C. H. Bushall,
Insurance and Rentals and the law
offices of E. Walter Hill and James
W. Mason have been moved to the
second floor of the Duncan building
over House Drug Store. These of
fices were moved due to the fact that
the site at the corner of Front and
Craven streets has been leased to the
Sinclair Oil Co.

The orphanage singing class of

September 12, at 8 o'clock. Rev. J.

Everyone is cordially invited to
come. There will be no admission,
but any amount you will give well be
appreciated.
The Carteret County Board of
Commissioners had three meetings
last month. The third meeting was
illegal . . . First because only two

unless it is advertised six days in ad

August . . . And
neither did Josh
Hardy, the fifth
Lommiss i o n e r,
turn up for the first meeting of
September on Monday of this week .
. . But Josh Hardy was in town the
following day making no comments
to this columnist why he was not
present . . . Maybe the $50 or more
he lost by attending one of the al
leged 'important' meetings last month
waq responsible for him not attend

Hardy, a clear thinking, respectable
citizen, and a human being is at last
fed up on the tactics of the board
which is dictating the policies of
Carteret county at the present
time ... It is no secret that Josh
Hardy, W. P. Smith and Ed Fulcher
formed a sort of combine to break
the administrative situations, claim
ed by some folks to be a lousy admin
istrative situation, when they were
elected and inducted into office . . .
That one of this triangle went back

you to retract a statement about a

knows it is the truth . . .Enough of

al waters today. They arrived on the

den in New Bern.
On the coast they boarded the U.

sailed from Morehead City about
noon today for Ocracoke via Oriental
where Congressman Barden was sche
duled to join the party. Early today
Dr. H. F. Prytherch, director of the
U. S. Fisheries Laboratory and Ay-
cock Brown, editor of The Beaufort
News joined the party for an inspec
tion trip of nearby harbor waters
and a visit to old Fort Macon.
The Army men were very interest
ed in the architectural designs of the
historic old fortress. Ihey were
shown the various interesting fea
tures of the fort by Mr. Humphrey,
official State caretaker of the prop
erties. General Tyler suggested that
the old fort would attract even more
attention from visitors if a museum
showing the different type guns and
armament was available there dur
ing the different periods of the oc
cupation of the structure. He also
suggested that more interest would
be created if graphic drawings of
the capture of the fort by the Fed
eral troops, and if a general history
of its construction was made avail
able in one of the rooms which have
been restored.
Following the visit to Fort Macon
and the cruise through Morehead's 30

ALL OUTDOORS
THE REV. H. A. Welker of Mount
Crawford, Va., sent a letter with his
subscription to The News which told
of some good fishing down in Core
Sound. The Reverend wrote"!
might add while on our vacation at
Beaufort, stopping at Mr. J. E.
Arrington's, Mr. Samuel Harris of
Marshallberg took us out on Cora
sound. Our catch was as follows:
Some 70 fish, among them nine trout
from 12 to 14 inches long and to top
it off Mrs. Welker caught a sea turtle
weighing 54 pounds. All of our fisl
were nice sizes," , ,
THE BEST CATCH of Gulf
Stream fish made so far this year
was landed by John Duncan and a par
ty of friends from Raleigh fishinff
with Capt George Lewis aboard hi
charter boat Squeaky. The catch,
made last Sunday included 58 dolphin
eight Spanish mackerel and one bff
nita. That was not only the best
catch of dolphin made this season,
but probably the best, (from number
of fish taken ) every caught in the

upon thir arrival at the scene it

in the Tom Sewell yard. The blaze
started in a thickly settled section of

Tennessee Milk
Comes To Coast
Approximately 500 gallons of
milk is distributed each day in
Carteret county during the sum
mer months in the opinion of
R. H. Dunn, who established
Dixie Dairy Products, Inc., in
Morehead City two years ago.
The demand is far greater than
the local supply, according to
Mr. Dunn. He gave as an ex
ample the purchase by his firm
of 100 gallons of mlik in bulk
from a dealer In Lexington,
milk which had come from Bris
tol, Tenn., early this week. Mr.
Dunn stated that a group of
dairymen would meet soon to
discuss the milk problem along
the coast.
