Wednesday, June 24, 1936 A feller says it's all right to pay as go in the depression. Nother feller wan! to know if we're goin' anywheres. It won't be long before tobacco fa ers won't be able to tell whether th friendly visitors are tobacco warehou men or politicians. It has been a long time since as ma people have been as wrong about o thing as they were about the outcoi of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling fij last week. How About The Ocean through the angry water. When she rt ched the lightship, the water was rough that there was some difficulty perienced in coming alongside. Once the sick man was aboard, t Coast Guard boat headed in. The suffi ing man was made as comfortable as pi sible and was delivered to the Brunswi County Hospital shortly after 1 o'clocl Questioned about their trip, Captt Barnett disclaimed any deed of heroisi but they did admit that their trip v plenty rough. They were all back regular duty Saturday morning. It is the nonchalance with which de< like this are performed that give peoj the respect they have for the Coast Guj service. Government Inspection Tobacco growers of this section are terested in two recent announceme which offer them an opportunity to v for the establishment of free governnv inspection service for their crop. Tobacco inspection is the determinat; of grade on the auction floors by an o: cial inspector. Inspection on designal r S. \ markets will be made in the warehoi ! prior to the sale and the Governmi grade will be marked on warehouse ti< ets. If two-thirds of the growers voting Last week in his excellent magazii The State, Carl Goerch paid editorial t bute to the scenic attractions of Weste North Carolina during June and urg as many as possibly can do so to go the mountains this month.

Personally, we wouldn't trade de< sea fishing and surf bathing for hiki and mountain climbing; nor would swap the salty smell of an ocean bree for the crisp coolness of the mount? air. Finally, the ocean with her changeal * moods?her storms, her calms, her tid her sea-going traffic?offers mystery \ matched by the mountains. Daring Rescue While citizens of Southport sle members of the Oak Island Coast Gua station completed at 1:00 o'clock Sati day morning one of the most hazardo trips ever undertaken in this section. Word was received here at noon F day that G. F. Moon, assistant engine aboard the Cape Fear'lightship, was se ously ill and that it was imperative th he be removed to a hospital. In spite the fact that the wind was blowing ai the ocean was so rought that no fis ing vessels had gone out for two daj Captain W. H. Barnett, Theodore Will Johnie Jones and Richard Scarboro is out in a 36-foot boat. The lightship lies 40 miles at sea, t little boat is capable of making only miles per hour; and the sea was rough than it had been in many a day. Ho after hour the tiny boat plowed its w m; $34,500, and the number of persons or ras board, 126. on One of the outstanding reasons justify ing the construction of inside waterway; ;ds is the saving of life and property fron pie the ravages of the open sea. ird Between Beaufort and Georgetown, S C., in five years at least 669 of the thou sands of vessels plying north and soutl took this open-sea risk involving life am property to the extent above stated. Mor< in- than half of them being small craft wil nts no longer have to go outside, since th< ote completion of the inland waterway fron ent the Delaware River to Miami, Fla., safe guards them from the shoals and t'n< ion capes which hitherto have brought dis ffi- aster. :ed We pay tribute to the Coast Guard ise which did such admirable work on temp mt estuous outside waters when the now ek- newly opened inside passageway betv^eer northern and southern waters did no1 in j exist. v THE STATE P any referendum favor the designation c a market, the Secretary of Agriculture i 'r authorized to designate such market ur ? der the Tobacco Inspection Act for fre ? and mandatory inspection. at After a market has been designated b the Secretary, no warehouseman ma ? lawfully offer tobacco for sale at auctio ithereon until it has been officially inspe< jilted and certificated. The entire cost c 75 inspection and certification on a designal ? ed market will be borne by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. In addition, th Department will furnish without cos daily or weekly official Market News Rt ports, showing the average prices a which each grade sold in the type ares ? The grades will be announced in the auc we t d The inspection will not interfere wit! the manner in which farmers customaril; deliver their tobacco to market. Nor wil rm ejr it interfere with any other privileges o ge_ the tobacco farmers. Following the auc tion, a farmer can make rejections whei he is not satisfied with the price offered inv He can sell his tobacco when and wher (ne he pleases. Voting in, this referendun places no obligation whatsoever upon th< rht grower. Because of a shortage of competent in spectors it' will be impossible to providi this service this year for more than ; limited number of markets. We believe ie though, that this movement is one tha rj^ will prove beneficial to the farmers, ii ,rn that it will establish a balance betweei ecj quality and price, to: Facts In The Case in- j Jr. In support of the 12-foot channel pro >ut ject on the Atlantic Intra-Coastal Water me way from Southport (where the 12-foo tp- minimum from the Delaware River, south he ceases) to the Savannah River, and ulti mately the St. John's, President Moon ;p_ of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso ng ciation nas suomittea, in tne torm 01 i vve brief, to the Board of Engineers at Char ,ze leston, a report of casualties to vessel: jjjj taking the outside course at which assis tance was rendered by Coast Guard unit: 3je for the five-year period, from July 1 es 1930, to June 30, 1935. jn_ The report shows that between Beau fort, and Georgetown, S.

Among the venturesome -gt small craft picked up at different times were three sailboats valued at $50 each he and one rowboat, the value of which was g $5.00. The greatest risk taken, evidently er was outside of the Fort Macon station, ur where the total number of rescues was ay 324, the next dangerous point being out,a_ side of Oak Island station, where 183 resso cues took place. The number of instances !X_ at Bogue Island station was 77. The Coast Guard reported four other casualhe ties, all large vessels, stranded in the vicier_ nity of Frying Pan Shoals.
