Henderson, Oct. 17.-With service
withdrawn from all industrial estab-
lishments of whatever kind and with
the gross consumption reduced to on
ly $4,000 gallons a day from a nor
NAL of 100000 gallons prospects to-
day were that the city's meager sup
ply of water almost completely wiped
out by a drought of nearly four
months could be stretched into sew
eral days more. A large spring empty
ing into the lake from which the sup
ply is drawn is still running at its
normal rate while a small volume of
water is being pumped in from a
small stream half a mile away.
Five thousand feet of pipe shipped
last Friday has been delayed, but is
expected to arrive by night and will
| be laid a distance of mile to tap a
pond into which one arm of the city
sewerage system empties. This will
not be used however, except in case

sources fail and then only after be-

Beaufort, Oct. 15.-Perhars the
biggest catch of spots ever made
in Core Sound was taken on Mon
day by some fishermen from Stacy
in Styron's bay, which is between
Sea Level and Atlantic The men
caught the fish and kept them sur
rounded with their nets for two days.
Some 10000 pounds were sold, which
glutted the markets and according
to reports the first of the fish were
allowed to escape. Quite a good many
fine blue fish, mullets, spots and
other sorts have been coming here
an to Morehead City this week and
the fish houses have been busy trying
to take care of them. A great many
are shipped every day but the stocks
