Fabulous Fishing . . . By Bob Simpson W-k- marlin paused most of the excitement on the Carteret coast during the weekend: Dr. H. M. Peacock, Sea Level, boated one aboard Bunny Too at 184 pounds; Elgin Meyers, Alta Vista, Va., caught a 264 >4 -pounder aboard Bunny; W. E. Lynch, Ra leigh, bagged another at 330 pounds aboard Southwind; Herman Aid ridge, Durham, caught a 246 pounder aboard Miss Belle, sailing out of Marshallberg: and Mrs. M L. Daugherty, Charlotte, caught a 250' -pounder aboard Lois Nancy II. Also aboard Lois Nancy, Mrs. John A. Tart of Dunn landed a 6 foot 9-inch sail, a season s record ! to date here. That makes a total of 11 billfish so far. Elsewhere offshore, fishing was best for king mackerel, with a steady increase in dolphin, plenty of amberjack, false albacore and a few bonito. Most of the kings are being caught in the area of the 10-fathom curve right now. Down East, boats from Anglers Motel, Harkers Island, reported up to 16 kings and 10 dolphin per boat; Bert Davis' boat The Kids J had 20 kings, 3 false albacore, by Bobbie Mize of Roanoke; and Jim- 1 my Marker's Shell Point, 28 kings, by a party from Burlington. From small boats. Mrs. D. K. Pierce, Raleigh, reported eight kings from her own boat. Ocean pier fishing as a whole was "just fishin'," but a few good reports came in: night fishing for spots, brief runs of blues, big sea mullet hitting bloodworms, two kings in the 9-pound class by Doc Hamilton and H. C. Carlee of Ra leigh, from Thompson's Pier; a 3 pound 3-ounce flounder by Billy Wilhete of Toccoa. Ga., from Morehead Pier, and a 20V4 pound black drum by J. Noel of Kinston. The first small pompano are ap pearing, and it looks like the be ginning of the summer run of these ehoice fish. On the sound side, 7 eobia were reported at B. J. White's Camp during the weekend, one a 38 poundrr by R. B. Guriey of Golds boro. The first good eateh of flounder was also reported, 15 of them up to 3 pounds, by Mr. and Mrs. Tommy O'Neal of Durham. At Mom and Pop's, Tommy Vigi lon, Kinston, reported 7 sheeps head, 2 . to 4-pounders; Joe Collins, Morehead City, had two cobia, 18 to 20 pounds; and James Williams, Goldsboro, two cobia at 18 and 24 pounds. Hogfish, spots and other bottom fish were biting from the pier. At Fleming's, Mr. Dewes of Alta Vista, Va., caught 5 flounder, and Emmett Jenkins. New Bern, a total of 150 hogfish. Bunch's Pier had hogfish and a few flounder. New records came in on the wa terfront: K. G. Cramer, Vinton, Va., a 34Va-p o u n d amberjack aboard M attic G; W. W. Conder, Matthews, a 5^-pound gray trout aboard Gulf Breeze; W. K. Land, Raleigh, a 16' a pound false alba core aboard Mattie G; Dan L. Meyers. Alta Vista, Va., a 39 pound dolphin aboard Bunny; and S. R. Clark, Atlanta, a 13-pound cuda aboard Dolphin III. The marlin tournament begins today at 8 a.m., and, weather per mitting, will end Thursday at 2 p.m. with festivities and awards Friday evening at Capt. Bill's. With the kings farther offshore. I it's been slow going for inshore ! boats, with no blues yet to replace ! them. Inshore and ocean pier | fishermen alike are looking hope* j fully for a real run of blues. On the Morehead City water front, top catch of the Dolphin fleet was 32 kings; tops elsewhere was Mattie G's 32 kings; Gannet led the list for amberjack, with 14; and Sam 'n' Dan had 8 big dol phin.

It l> onr of a <rrtr? of aftlrlrii Winn pnbllihrri as barkaround Information for Rrattfort's forthcoming Ml<l anniversary HMftlha. By ANNIE L. MORTON An abstract of the minutes of the minutes of the Core Sound Monthly Meeting shows that the meeting was organized 1st day, 8th month, 1733. A monthly meet ing to be held every first third day in the month for "time to come" and that the first day before the monthly meeting shall be a repre sentative meeting to be kept at the home of Henry Stanton until the meeting orders it otherwise. This continued until the first month, 1737, when the meetings were to be held in the Meeting House. In 1737, four years after the Core Sound Meeting was organiz ed, Henry Stanton gave to the Quakers two acres for a pasture south of the Meeting House, and adjoining the land upon which the Core Sound Meeting House stood. This land had been given to the Quakers by Nicholas Briant. The original House stood slightly north of the location of this building and faced the south. Ruthin, Wales, 4th month, 29th day, 1723. He went from Wales to England and sailed in his own ship from England to the Caro linas. He bought more than 300 acres on the north side of Newport Riv-I er, later purchasing land amount ing to 4,000 acres in the vicinity of Newport. He later established two trading stores, one in New Bern and one in Beaufort. He also erected a sawmill and a grist mill using the same dam to furnish power for both. These mills were on the old farm of 1,100 acres in what is now known as the Carteret Lodge section near New port. Besides his stores and mills, he built some salt works about one mile east of Beaufort. Karly his tory states he was the first person to extract salt from sea water. He also built the first brick house in Carteret county. The brick h<? J brought from England in his own ship. Henry Stanton's son, Benjamin, was born in Carteret county in 1746 and died 12th month, 1798. He lived and died in the house in whieh he was born. The house was | on Ware Creek. David Stanton, one of the sons of Benjamin nnd Abigail Maey Stanton, was born in Carteret county in 1788 In 1800, two years after the death of his father, he, with his mother and other mem bers of his family, moved to Jef ferson county, Ohio. In Ohio, Dav id married Lucy Norman. They were the parents of Kdwin Me Masters Stanton. Civil War Secre tary in Lincoln's Cabinet. William Rorden was born in Rhode Island 10th month, 15th day, 1689, moved to North Carolina in 1732, and settled on Newport Riv er, naming the river and later the town Newport, for his old home in Newport. R. I. It was in Wil liam Borden's home the first Quak er meeting in Carteret county was organized, 1st day, 8th month, 1733. Prior to coming to Carteret coun ty, William Borden was one of the foremost ship builders of the North. In Carteret county he found the virgin forests yielding the finest quality of live oak, ce dar, and pine, enabling him to con tinue here the shipbuilding indus try. He had customers from Bos ton to Florida, and was widely known both north and south as 'William Borden, the ship build er." It Is also of note that this ship builder took an interest in public affairs, having represented Car teret county in the General Assem bly which met in New Bern in 1746-47. He died in 1748. His son, Wil liam Borden the second, a planta tion owner near Beaufort, continu ed the shipbuilding industry, add ing to his father's reputation as a ship builder. He also served as Carteret county's delegate to the State Constitutional Convention in 1776, and also the "Ratification Convention" in 1788. These Bordens were ancestors of Gail Borden, founder of the Bor den Milk Co. Robert Williams was born in Robert Williams died on 4th day, J 2nd month, 1790, and is buried not far from the place where his old ,rist mill was loeated. His grave has been fenced and marked by his great-grandson. His family joined the general exodus of Quak ers from Carolina to Ohio in 1800, leaving as they came, by boat. Before the Core Sound Monthly Meeting was disbanded or, to use their term, "laid down," in 1841. there were recorded in the min utes of births, marriages and deaths, the names of ninety-five families belonging to the Core Sound group. The records do not state wheth er this number of families was confined to the Carteret settlement or not. for the Core Sound Month ly Meeting extended over a wide I area, including Clubfoot's Creek Meeting in Cravon County, Matta muskeet Meeting in Hyde county and Upper and Lower Trent in Jones county. Some of the families in the Core Sound Meeting whose names are familiar to most of us are Bell, Borden, Chadwick, Davis, Eu banks, Foreman, Harris, Haskett, Hellen, Hill, Jones, Mace, Moore, Rumley, Russell. Small, Smith, Stanton, Thomas, Wade, Williams and Wright. These names appear repeatedly where land sales are recorded, so we know many of them were large land owners, who made their con tribution to the settlement in va rious ways. Their names also ap pear in the abstract of minutes of the Core Sound Mohthly Meeting, serving in many capacities and closely associated with the three families about whom I have given brief sketches. The growth of Quakerism con tinued until the outbreak of the revolution, when Quaker immigra tion practically stopped and when their opposition to war caused the Friends to go through a period of great suffering and decline in membership. About 1787 members of the So ciety of Friends in North Carolina followed the example of Friends in fnore northern states and liber ated their slaves. They used ev ery effort in their power to bring about abolition of slavery. Feeling ran high against the Quakers nnd many of them left North Carolina for free territory in Indiana and Ohio, where at one time it was said four out of every five families living there had eome from North Carolina. As late as 1840 there were many re quests for transfer of membership to Ohifi and Indiana. A eommittee appointed to visit the Core Sound Monthly Meeting in ! 1841 reported: The number of j meetings has become so small and I not well attended, that the meet ing has not been well kept up in I credit to the society, it would be I i best it should be laid down and ! the members attached to the Con Itcntnea Monthly Meeting, of which ; this .Meeting approves, and the I clerk directed to furnish Core Sound Meeting a copy of the re I port and they are directed to ren | der their records to the Quarterly . Meeting." . So the Core Sound Monthly Meet-. I ing was laid down 10th month. 1 30th day. 1841, having been active I in this community for more than 100 years. It is interesting to note that the deed to this property given to the | Quakers on Sept. 23. 1737. was not I recorded until nearly 100 years la ter, on Jan. 21, 1831. In 1898 the yearly meeting of Friends at Guilford College. N. C. ceded the Core Sound Meeting House, now known as Tuttle's Grove church, to Ann Street Meth odist church of Beaufort, reserving the right to hold Quaker services at any time not conflicting with the regular church program. This Meeting House is the only one of the Quaker denomination standing in Core Sound district. In the rear of this ancient mi <?t ing house is a graveyard, known as the "Quaker burying ground " Originally, wooden slabs, many of which have decayed, marked the graves. A few of the graves have stone markers, placed there in r?* cent years by descendants of those early Quakers ? relatives who felt that these were names and deeds that must not pass away. When we think of the courageous I men and women, who down the years have been trying to build a world of Brotherhood, a verse from the Psalms reminds us of how good it is to be a part of this line of strong, courageous people. With the Psalmist, we can say, "The lines have fallen unto me in pleasant places, yea, I have a goodly heritage."
