County Delegates J
Attend State
Meeting
Carteret's Courthouse was
almost filled to capacity last
Saturday afternoon to hear
Attorney J. M. Broughton,
of Raleigh, make the key
note address at tne demo
cratic Convention. No spe
cial delegates were appoint
ed to attend the State Con
vention which started in
Poloio-h WpHnfisdav. but
every Democrat in good
standing was urged to go as
a delegate from this coastal
county.
Among the Democrats from
Partprpt attending the convention
in Raleigh were Irwin W. Davis
executive chairman, James D. Pot
ter, Corbett Davis, Eugene Moore,
Capt. John Nelson, Ernest Nelson,
Alvah Hamliton, Charlie Webb, W.
M. Webb, Charles L. Skarren and
others.
At the County Convention here
on Saturday Chairman Davis pre
sided. He introduced Judge
Luther Hamilton, Carteret's out
standing Democratic leader lor
many years, who in turn introduc
ed Mr. Broughton.
With a beautiful flow of lan
guage Mr. Broughton gave a his
tory of the Democratic Party
from its beginning to the present
day. "During every crisis this co
untry experienced, it took the De
mocratic party to bring things
back to normal," he said. He pour
ed high praise on outstanding liv
ing and dead leaders of the party.
Kpv-noter Broughton did not re
turn to Raleigh on Saturday but
instead spent the week-end on the
coast. On Sunday evening he oc-
cnnied a dace of honor at the
Baptist Church delivered a prayer
and heard Beaufort's famous

ghton is said to be very likely gub

Gulf Stream Coif Club's Annual
Spring Tourney will not begin un
til early June, it was announced
this week by Charles Hassell, presi
dent of the club. Previously the
tourney had been postponed, when
before qualifying time ended the
additional three holes of the 9
hole course were thrown open to
players. Efforts were made to
start the tourney last Sunday, but
there seems to be so many other
interests underway just at this
time as school closings, political
campaigns, etc., it was necessary
to postpone the event again.
Three solid car loads of
beans, each containing 20
tons have been shipped
from Beaufort this week by
Rav Fsnositn who is operat
ing a farm out on Merrimon
Koaa tnis year. uunu&
next few days he expects to
ship a total of seven to 12
car-loads, the biggest Iol
from any one farm in the co
unty in several years.
Mr. Esposito, a resident of
Marion, N. Y., is mighty well
pleased with his truck farming
venture in Carteret. While the
bean crop was somewhat retard
ed by the recent rains, he ia ex
pecting to ship many car loaas oi
tomatoes at an early date. He
will not only ship tomatoes from
Vic farm, but will buy from other
farmers, he stated yesterday. This
year he had 50 acres devoted to
bean growii.g and 50 acres in
tomatoes.
For the past five years he has
been engaged in tomato farming
rmnv Windsor and before coming
to North Carolina he was a grower
of celery in New York btate. ne
still operates his celery farms near
Marion. Mr. Esposito is one of
many non-resident farmers who in
recent years have discovered the
fine soil and fine climate east of
Beaufort as an ideal spot to pro
duce truck crops.

AS A RECEPTION Committee,
I think Dr. Lewis, Mayor Huntley,
Ralph Miller and myself are the
world's worst. On Monday Gov
ernor Hoey had wired that h
would arrive in Beaufort at 5
o'clock. Knowing that he wa
pretty much of a stranger here
(but he is not any more) we
thought it quite fitting and proper
to go out on the highway and meet
him, convoy his car into town and
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Beam
where he would stop while not at
tending banquets and Commence
ment exercises in Beaufort. We
parked at the Laboratory road and
lnnlfed westward, expecting any
moment to see a motorcycle escort
coming down the road, ahead of
the Governor's car. We saw a
car coming but no motorcycles. S
we paid little attention to it until
it whizzed by. In the car was the
Governor and his daughter Miss
Isobel.
GEORGE HUNTLEY stepped
on his starter and started in pur
suit. It would be tragic for a
Governor on his first official visit
to Beaufort to have to look around
for the person who would enter
tain him while here, thought Geo
rge I am sure, because I have
never seen a Chevrolet gain speed
so quickly and disappear over the
bridge quite as fast as the coupe
he was driving. Anyway he over
took the official car down in front
