S. Navy's motor, or e_ torpedo boats, said to be the c- fastest craft of their kind in the nt world, are now passing through Southport from the Washington Navy Yard to the Gulf of Mexico, 3y where they will be on duty, in The boats are moving by twos J to and threes, the first two comat ing down the river through the jj inland canal Monday afternoon. They are about the size of a good i sized shrimp boat but with much J less freeboard. In fact, when they are traveling nothing can be seen of them but the swirl of foam p end water which they displace. . Each of the craft carries four ' torpedo tubes on deck. They are s- supposed to dash in at a target, is fire these tubes and dash off s_ again, ^f they can. They are said to be covering the distance between Morehead r. City and Southport in just a lit- E le tie over three hours, although, of 1 r_ course, they are not allowed to 1 ,,s make anything like top speed 1 down the waterway. Riding deep, < it combined with speed, they can i j ar create a tremendous backwash s le that would cause the canal banks t a. to cave in if they opened up to tj, full speed while passing through. c (1t On the deeper and wider river 5 they traveled faster. Timed by f jjj parties in Southport as they pas- 1 sed the Quarantine station, it was 1 jg' noted that they covered the dis- ' )(j tance here in two minutes. Pass- 1 of ing the town itself, they slowed c a down in order to prevent the ( u. backwash from doing damage to 1 ^ small boats at the docks and c w possibly to the docks themselves. 5 Yacht Sails j ai Following Visit c of e Id Ending a two days stay here, p. the Fiddlers Green, a strongly * e_ built auxiliary schooner out from ss Baltimore, sailed yesterday for >d the Galypso Islands.

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to start or cause to be started any fire or ignite any material, in any of the areas of woodlands under the protection of the State Forest Service or within five hundred feet of any such protected area, between the first day of February and the first day of June, inclusive, or between the first day of October and the thiteenth day of November, inclusive, in any year, without first obtaining from the State Forester or one of his duly authorized agents a permit to set out fire or ignite any material in such above mentioned protected areas; no charge shall be made (Continued on page 4) tizens To n Bedclothing Two Of Navy's Latest And Fastest Boats Passed Through Harbor Monday At Noon On Way South From Norfolk CROWD ATTRACTED BY THEIR ROAR Made Trip South Via Inland Waterway; On Way To Gulf Of Mexico For Practice Maneuvers The mattress project which has been sponsored in this county by the county agent and the home demonstration agent now has another feature, according to County Agent J. E. Dodson. This is the manufacture of cotton-filled comforts, and already there is a large demand for these articles of bed clothing. The same rules and regulations governing income and residence for eligibility for the mattress project apply to the comfort proiect. savs Mr. Dodson. Each per son who has made successful application for a mattress is eligible for one comfort, but a blank must be filled out and formal application made for the cover. As in the case of the mattresses the material for the comforts is being furnished by the government. Specifications call for four pounds of cotton and sufficient cotton material to cover each comfort. The bed clothes will be made in the work centers that served as headquarters for the mattress project and the work must be done by the persons who have applied for the comforts. Mr. Dodson says that applications for mattresses now total (Continued on page 4) May Call On mily This Year This year, among those who try to grow tobacco on a large scale in Brunswick and Columbus counties, about everybody will have to work in a way that embodies everything that the word implies. Mother, Sister Ann and The Old Man are all due for unremitting toil. The boys and many of the men will be in the Army or Navy or else engaged in National Defense work of some sort. It takes work to grow tobacco and being unable to get sufficient labor at critical periods may result in the whole year being a total failure. Farmers who set out , to grow tobacco this year should carefully consider their capacity for work. Labor resources which they can now see by wishful thinking, may have all disappeared from the horizon by the time such resources are needed. Last week J. E. Dodson, County Agent for Brunswick, was obviously gratified at the success that has attended the efforts to grow wheat in Brunswick during the past few years, and at!

Waccamaw high school, slated to re-open last Wednesday following a week's suspension for the same reason, failed to resume classes when conditions were found to be little improved. That institution planned to try reopening again today, but unofficial reports from out in the county indicated that there has been no appreciable improvement in health conditions. Miss Annie May Woodside, iiiinamritandnnt ftf C/'h/Vila vuuiibjr au^iiiuciiuviiv v* said last night that she had no report of any other school planning to close although both Henry C. Stone principal at Shallotte, and Glenn Tucker, principal at Bolivia, have been recent victims of influenza. Locally, there has been an increase since last week of flu cases. Mildness continues to be an outstanding characteristic of the disease in its appearance at Southport, but physicians suggest that those who feel flu coming on go to bed and take care of themselves. This not only prevents farther spread of the malady but diminishes the likelihood of complications. Orton Gardens Scene Of Beauty Filled With Fragrance Of Daphne Odora Which Is' Now In Bloom There Orton Plantation gardens are now filled with the fragrance of blooming Daphne's (Daphne Odora) which is drifting over the whole garden and adding to the attractiveness produced by many of the hundreds of varieties of beautiful camellias, now in full bloom. A few of the early varieties of: azaleas are also in bloom, along with other shrubbery and flowing plants. The prospects for spring blossoms are the best that they have ever been. No one ever says "Better than last year" with respect to the Orton Gardens, as it is the invariable custom to ( have each springs production surpass the things that have gone before. Mr. and Mrs. J. Laurence Sprunt are now occupying the mansion as their winter home. They reside there each year from January until May. A considerable number of outof-state tourists are already visiting Orton and are charmed with the gardens. The full movement of tourists to see the flowers will not come until about March. Meanwhile, the early visitors are finding plenty to attract and hold their interest. Tide Table Following Is the tide table | for Southport during the neat week.
