Gulf Stream Fi: HitsH * During Past Week There Have Been Several Parties Out From Here For The Big Game Fishing Off The Coast GOOD CATCHES HAVE BEEN MADE Barracuda and Amber Jack Have Been Taken By Several Parties; Fame Of Gulf Fishing Spreads Southport turned to big /game fishing in the Gulf Stream in a big way during the past week. Activities of a large number of sportsmen has resulted in a widespread publicity and '.:-ore is much to come to Southport from this I fishing, according to present in- j dications. Out of the many parties going [ out last week, not a single one failed to make a good catch. Barracuda were outstanding in the numbers taken. Not a single boat went out without bringing in one to a dozen of these wolves of the sea. They did not bring them in without trouble, for one day a single boat load of sportsmen was credited with losing a hundred dollars worth of tackle. This destruction of tackle has been partly due to inexperience and partly because the fish are: really hard to handle. There are I few other game fish that can I match a barracuda in weight and beat him in a fight. The most notable catch of the past week was made by Col. J. B. Atkinson, of Spartanburg, S. i C., and F. P. Summers, of Charlotte. Fishing around the Frying Pan lightship, one day, these two sportsmen brought in three amber jacks that totalled an average of forty pounds. With the amber jacks were seven barracuda,, all ranging about twentyfive pounds. Mr. Summers and many other parties are booked for this week and trips to the stream. Floyd Explains Quota Transfers Growers Who Buy Additional Cards Urged To Get Transfer Made Through County Agent Or AAA Man Growers who buy additional tobacco marketing cards from other farmers are urged to get the transfer made through county farm agents or AAA field representatives stationed in the warehouses. When this is done, the agents and field men will make official records of the transfers that will be used next year in calculating larger quotas for producers who have heavy yields this year, explained E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College. A number of growers over the State have produced good yields this season, he contim ed, and their production exceeds the poundage on their marketing cards. But other growers with short crops won't use up the full amount of their cards. All growers with excess leaf to sell should be able to get all the additional cards they neec. Floyd commented, for the State quota is large enough to cover; (Continued on page six) E ST) A Good )-PAGES TODAY Sout 3oing On ' l.

In her journeying back and fourth the course of the little boat brought her up under the lee of the lightship and the engine was stopped for a few minutes for a chat with the officers and sailors, who lined the rail or the Fry- j ing Pan. Talking of fishing, an officer on the Frying Pan volunteered the information that one of the sailors on the ship had speared seventeen big barracuda during the previous week.

'Negro Fisherman Lost Overboard Menhaden Boat Is Held Up Here For Two Days While Captain Returns To Scene Of Drowning 'Up The Waterway The menhaden boat. Holland, belonging; to Wallace Quinn, of Beaufort, lost one of its sailors, Bill Floyd, a negro of St. John's Bluff, Fla., at Cedar Point on the inland waterway, near Swansboro, early Sunday morning. The Holland was enroute to Fernandia, Fla., with Captain Fred Fulcher, of Beaufort, ,in charge. The negro is said to have been drunk and was sitting on the rail near the stern of the ship. Members of the crew saw him fall overboard and quickly gave the alarm. As quickly as it could in the narrow waterway, the Holland put about and made ever effort to locate the man, without success. After spending some time in the vain attempt to find him the Holland proceded on here and j docked through Sunday and Mon| day while Captain Fulcher was in (Continued on page 6) Trolling For Di Have Stai Captain Leland Day, of Morehead City, may have started something very interesting and helpful to sport fishing at Southport Sunday when, in company with irvin Corbett, of Wilmington, he demonstrated that trolling for drum was not an impossible undertaking here. As a matter of record, Oregon Inlet and many other sport fishing sectors along the upper Carolina coast are famed for trolling for drum, or channel bass. The bass are just as numerous at Southpo-t as they are at Oregon Inlet, says Captain Day. But, it happens that no one has ever tried trolling for them here. The only local method of taking these fish has been through surf casting, with a little bit of variety in the way of using cane poles and line. Captain Day's party made a fine catch of blues and ? ,0T 5HED EVERY WEDNESDAY irs Get Two I Wen In Trouble Case Charging Them With Men Appeal And Refuse Sent To Jail ( [ is light to be shed upon the hunting violation. The men were said to have been tried for killing a bear out of season. Their defense 1 was that the animal was kill- , ing their hogs. They had a * permit from the state game authorities, they said, and had a right to kill the bear. I This is the first bear killing reported this summer, but from Bolivia and other places in the territory adjoining the Green Swamp have come tales of marauding bears that were causing considerable damage j. At one time W. K. Cox, reported that the burins were 8 about to take that communi- e ty.

The spoon had hardly been trailing in the water five minutes before there was i a tremenduous strike and he I hauled in an 18-pound drum. The boat came on in without any further demonstraUon being attempted, but Captain Day stated that if they had had time and salt mullet for bait they would have made an astonishing catch by trolling. This demonstration may have special value, &s the trolling can be done inside on the river and creeks during stormy weather when the boats cannot venture outI side. _____ 1 ___________________ The Pilot Covers Brunswick County $1.50 PER YEAR City Tax Rate For 1938 Will Be Cut To $1.30 Zity Officials In Special Meeting Last Thursday Night Adopted A Rate That Offers Reduction To Taxpayers IATE LAST YEAR WAS SET AT $1.52 leduction In The Rate Was Made Possible Through Horizontal Increase In Real Estate Valuations Members of the Southport loard of aldermen in special sesion here Thursday night adoptd the budget for the next fisal year and set the tax rate at 11.30.
