rounds, according to a pair of |
stales.
CCC forces were planning early
yesterday to send 300 men
into the swamp with a tractor
to cut a road along the timber,
ine the men set up if they had |
lot been found. Aviators at Blueihenthal
field, unaware the men
liad been located, were planning
to fly over the dense swamp in
in effort to sight them.
"We have worked in thirteen
states," Hale, who has been in
the forestry sendee for four
rears said, "and it is the tough-1
?st I have seen from the post
iak ridges to Texas and them
nountains of Oklahoma to the

And more swamp await their
attention, he said, for after they
have run their line through Green
Swamp they will soon encounter
Cawcaw swamp, which they expect
to be "just as tough" as
Green Swamp, since it is 9',?
miles across.
The young men were a pitiful
sight to behold. Carow's
arms and legs were a raw
mass of flesh from which the
skin had been torn and scratched.
Hale was in little better condition.
But their attitude was that it
is all part of the day's work, and
as soon as they have rested a
bit, regained their strength and
made arrangements to cut their
way through, they will go back
to the deepest spot in the
swamp and continue to run the
timber line on through.
Members of the rescue party
expressed amazement at the ability
of Rabon, who lead the party
in the search last night.
"There was little trail which
led into Moore's Island which
hadn't been used all summer,"
one member of the party said,
"and that fellow followed it
without a miss. It was just about
this wide," he said, indicating a
space of about two feet with
his hands, "but he kept right
to it.
"We could never have found
them if it hadn't been for Rabon.
That man knows that swamp
like the palm of his hand."

to enable farmers to put their

through the efforts of local

committees.

A lew larnieis wuu aon wi
rehabilitation loans find that all
they need is debt adjustment and
advice in sound, up-to-date farm
methods. They are glad to get
back on a paying basis without
borrowing more money.
"The fact that this service
aids creditors as well as
debtors is borne out by reports
that just about as many creditors
as debtors over the nation
have applied for voluntary farm
debt conciliation assistance," Mr.
Baucom stated.
Farm Debt Adjustment aid
available through the Resettlement
office has helped debtor?
and creditors reach voluntary
agreements in 977 cases in this
state. These adjustments have
brought $70,319 back taxes into
public treasuries throughout the
state.
STUART HOUSE
(Continued Fropi Page 1)
pleasantly related of her by the
old inhabitants. Beneath her
strong character, there was a
kind and loyal heart. She was
an uncompromising rebel and
during the occupation of Southport
by the Federals, she was
unrestrained and unterrified in
the expression of her devotion
to the Confederate cause. During
the war, says a friend, she
kept open house, sheltering and
feeding all confederates who
came "without money and without
price." At her house the
20th North Carolina regiment
was formed, Mrs. Stuart tendering
a collation to celebrate it.
At this inn, over a period of a
army and naval officers, government
officials, lawyers, judges,
and visitors from many sections
and many states have been received
and kindly entertained.
More distinguished men have
stopped here over a period of
years than perhaps at any other
hotel in the state. Mrs.t
Stuart always interested her distinguished
guest, and many of
the prominent men of the state
were among her personal frineds.
For half a century all the members
of the bar have been entertained
at this house, and, if its
