Old Southporter's among

years on the island as a Coast

during the Civil War. The
vaults are said to have been
erected by Colonel Lamb, for
whom one of the Batteries at
Fort Caswell is named. A Confederate
Battery was located
on Bald Head island during
the war and the graveyard is
somewhere near where this battery
was. Few people who are

to submit a proposal for furnishing
this power.
Governor Broughton and members
of the industrial division of

from sponsors in Southport, who
in turn, have awaited some word

Stingarees And
Sharks Killed
Fishing for sharks and Catfish
off the local docks has
been a scorned sport at Southport,
though many upstate visitors
have found it a source
of great delight, but last week
there was a completely new
development.
A Southport youngster, headed
down the dock for a swim,
happened to notice some impressive
swirls in the water inshore,
and closer scrutiny revealed
that they were caused by
sharks. Captain Bonner Bussells
learned of their presence and
managed to shoot and kill three
big fellows before they retreated
to the briny deep.
And to show that the sharks
ire not the only strange visitors
in the river waters, Joel
Moore, Tommie Willis and Bob
Griffis, the latter from Monroe,
hooked a giant stingaree Tuesday
afternoon that towed the
light boat from which they
sere fishing out into the channel
before the 150-pound sea
monster was conquered and
brought ashore.

A tonsil clinic will be held at

Week-End Par
AtSouthportl
A Chapel Hill party topped
the week-end catch of Gulf
Stream fish by bringing in 4
barracuda, 5 amberjack, 10
albacore and 27 dolphin. Two
of the amberjack weighed 36pounds
each and the five averaged
30-pounds. The party was
composed of Albert S. Tufts,
Arthur Ward, Tom Goodrich
and Everet Neal.
For the number of sportsmen
involved, Ray W. Humphrey of
Elwood City, Pa., and his 10year
old son were champs.
They brought in between 250
and 300 pounds of dolphin, albacor
and amberjack. Instead
of going to the known fishing
ground, this party was sort of
prospecting around for marlin
and sails. Continuous rains and
an east wind made it a bad
day for that.
J. R. Tomlison and party
from the architects and engineers
office of J. N. Pease and
company, contractors at Fort
Bragg, were also pleased with
a good catch of dolphin, albacore,
