Attorney James S. McNider,
representing a defendant charged
with possession of non-tax paid
whiskey in Perquimans County
Recorder's Court oa Tuesday
morning, sought to prove that the
contents of a bottle introduced
in evidence was not whiskey.
Sheriff J. E. Winslow, who was
testifying for the State, stated
emphatically that the liquid in
the bottle which-he testified had
been found on the person of the
defendant was whiskey. Judge
Walter H. Oakey, Jr., permitted
. the Sheriff to make a demonstra
tion. A portion of the liquid was
poured on the floor of the court
room and a match applied.. A
blue flame was the result.

agent, and with Holt Scott, who has
been working for the bus company
for the past three years, as assistant.
The change was made last week,
when the station was transferred
from its former quarters in the show
room of the Hollowell Chevrolet
Company, with L. N. Hollowell as
agent, to Walker's Store.
The bus has stopped for several
years practically at the same place,
the station having for the past three
years been located in the Hollowell
Chevrolet Company's place, formerly
being located next door, at the One
Stop Service Station. Prior "to that
time the bus stopped in front of the
Hotel Hertford, with the Hotel man
agement 'taking care of the agency.
.It has been remarked that one of
the advantages to the general public
in having the waiting room in Walk
er's is that this place is generally
open, on-Sunday and late at night,
for the convenience of passengers
Some objection has been made by lo
cal persons to. the . present location
because tills point, being in the main
business Section of the town and on
the highway is an inconvenient place
for the bus to park. But it has been
pointed out, on the other hand, that
the bus .never stops for a longer
period than about two minutes, ac
cording to one interested matt who
has been timing the stops ' recently,
which would seem to indicate that the
stopping of the bus will not seriously
interfere with, 'traffic, certainly not
more than do the big freight trucks
which frequently stop in this section
to take off freight

AWAIT SHAD
Fishing Very Important
Industry In Perquim
ans County
The fishing season is opening. A41
alon the shore now, wherever the
fishing industry is carried on, men
may . be seen mending their nets, re
pairing boats, putting their equipment
in order for the fishing season. Al
ready nets are set for rock, which is
the earliest of the big fish making
its appearance in these waters.
The season for catching shad does
not open until the 6th of February.
It is this branch of the industry
which is of the most importance to
Perquimans fishermen, and it is to
catch shad that the local fishermen
are now preparing, preparing leisure
ly for the most part, though as the
season draws nearer some work in
almost feverish haste lest everything
be not in ship shape on time.
For fishermen, wherever they may
be, seem to have fishing in the blood.
Once a fisherman always a fisherman.
It is said that the man who has ever
engaged in fishing as a business can
not seem to resist the urge to cast
his nets into the deep when the sea
son rolls around.
A littlelater on, sometime in April,
the season for herring fishing begins.
This, too, is an important branch of
the industry in Perquimans, for her
rings generally abound in these wa
ters.
Not every one, perhaps, realizes to
what extent fishing is carried on is
Perquimans County, where the chiel
industry is agriculture. But in all
sections of the county which border
on the water, including Durants Neck,
and Harveys Neck, where there is a
long shore line on Albemarle Sound,
as well as on both sides of the Per
quimans River for many miles, fish
ermen ply their trade, generally in
connection with their farming opera
tions, though there are fishermen
living in Hertford who set nets and
carry on extensive fishing operations
down the river and in the sound.
Most of the fish caught in local
waters are shipped to the Philadel
phia, Baltimore and New York mark
ets, with several retailing to the lo
cal trade, for a great many of these
fish are consumed in Perquimans.
