But geese are so thick at Lake Mattamuskeet this season that it is near impossible not to get the bag limit. I Guides report that there have not been so many geese in this sec tion in several years. Pear is ex pressed that the feed supply on the lake will not take care of the geese which have already come to this section, and more are due with the coming of colder weather. Many are already taking to the fields. Some express the opinion that the geese may leave to go elsewhere. i There were many sportsmen in Hyde for the opening of the season.

Large Democratic majorities were rolled up in the other precincts as usual. Huge majorities were given the President at Ocracoke, Lake Land ing and Engelhard and substantial margins in other precincts. While returns were not available from Fairfield, it is understood the Dem- I ocratic majority there will be large, j Ocracoke Island gave the Pres- 1 ident a ilO to 18 victory and Lake Landing Democrats polled a major ity of 120 that was almost as im pressive. Engelhard gave Mr. Roosevelt a better than three-to- one victory with 185 votes to Dew ey’s 60. Less impressive, but never-the- less complete victory for the Demo crats was rolled up at Burgess’ Mill which gave Mr. Rooevelt 52 of the 84 votes cast. Swan Quarter, a center of Republican strength in Hyde, gave Mr. Roosevelt a 98 ma jority out of 322 votes. Sladesville gave the President a smaller mar gin of 92 votes to Mr. Dewev’s 58.
