Williams, assistant surgeon general in charge of foreign quarantine, said last Thursday the public health service would not make any reduction in the personnel of the Capt Fear quarantine station at Wilmington, N. C., in the immediate future. The decision, he said, was based upon a report from Dr. J. A. Dosher, chief of the Cape Fear station, who protested a proposal to reduce the station's personnel from five to two or three men. Dr. Dosher's report said the work of the station required the present number of employes. "As a result of this report, the plan to reduce the Cape Fear personnel has been temporarily "placed on ice," Dr. Williams said. "Plans for any changes will be held in abeyance for a few months at least."

Trout, blues and mackerel are all at their best at taking the hook in clear waters. The heavy rains sent quite a bit of muddy water coursing down the Cape Fear and spreading over the fishing grounds, with one of the results being that few of the game fish were caught for several days. All traces of this colored water have now disappeared and the boatmen say that they are biting good. Some of them are bringing in big catches to nrove it.

B. Bussels the feasibility of j holding yacht races down here sometime next season. _1 Seeing in this suggestion a possibility for a sports event that " i would attract thousands of sports ^ ' lovers from North Carolina and other states, W. B. Keziah took -1 up the matter with Wilmington -1 men and received an encouraging letter from Henry L. Taylor. The latter heartily approves of the possibilities for a racing course down here, and suggested that every effort be made to secure the races. He said that the ? Carolina Yacht Club would be ' glad to assist in bringing the *: event to Southport, and sugges| ted that the organization be officially identified with the city in inviting boat owners here. Mr. Taylor told of races recently held at Charleston, Rockville and Beaufort. S. C. Several thousands of racing fans are at' tracted for these events, he said. At Rockville, a village of 200. the race crowds swell the population to 3,000. With Southport acting as host, and the races being officially known as "Southport Races, run in co-operation with the Carolina Yacht Club of Wrightsville," the yacht races are a good bet for centering sports fan's interest in this section next summer. i Two Houses Burn Sunday Morning Early Morning Blaze Destroys Negro Dwelling And Pressing Club Next Door; Firemen Do Fine Job Of Keeping Flames , Controlled A colored dwelling on the Saw Dust Trail road and the pressing jclub which stood next door were r J destroyed early Sunday morning (by fire of an unknown origin. By the time members of the : Southport volunteer fire department wore on lied flames had xir tually gutted the frame dwelling. ' | Concentrating their efforts upon ; preventing spread of the blaze, the firemen soon had things un!: der control. Although the pressi ing club buildings were pretty much of a wreck, some of the , machinery was saved, together .; with a number of garments that jwere removed from a cabinet in the front of the establishment I following the fire. in After Few 'aused By Freshets over county, are now at J Southport plying their trade and are taking out large numbers of parties composed | of up-state sportsmen. Sunday morning and evening some twelve or fifteen parties went out, despite the fact that at that time the fish were still objecting to the muddy waters. Fishing in the river off j Fort Caswell has been good and has resulted in many fine strings of trout being | brought in. For operations at this point small boats serve the purpose admirably. In many cases the fishermen simply row out from Southport or use light outboard motors. All in all, the Southport I fishing waters are giving promise of affording fine sport for nearly three months more. At this time it looks as if the number of fishing parties will be several times greater this year i than ever before.
