Must Pay Sales Tax tl The other day we saw a copy of a let- P ter from one of the leading mail order houses to a customer telling her that re- ? tailors engaged in business in this state e o 1 i^ nnllaet n sales tax on all art; i^uucu uv wnvw ?. ??? ? merchandise sales, whether by mail or over the counter. c< Thus is removed one of the incentives c( contributing to an unreasonably large j" volume of mail order business that goes ' out of Columbus county annually, and robs our home merchants of trade they dl rightfully deserve. w in Dear Victory ' v tli An emperor of ancient times, after m winning a great battle, said this: "One more such victory, and I will be ruined." His losses of men and material had been so great that victory left his people SP weary, exhausted, and low in morale. B( Some think that maybe Hitler's fate hc even if he finally subdues Russia. At a P1 Conservative estimate he has lost, .in killed e. and wounded, 1,000,000 men, and they in are the cream of the Reichswehr. In the th meantime, his main opponent, the Eng- m lish, are suffering almost no casualties he and are growing stronger fast. r?i , th Trade Restrictions th pe President Roosevelt's recent appointment of an Economics Defense Board is da generally regarded as proof of the Ad- Wl ministration's intention to wage economic bc war against the Axis on a big scale. The ar CI Board is headed by Vice-President Wallace, and its other members are the Secretaries of State, War, Navy, Treasury, ie Commerce, and Agriculture, and the Attorney General. The important position of 0 executive secretary has been given to W. W. Riefler, a professor of economics at or Princeton, and a former economist for the Federal Reserve Board. Si Economic warfare will mean the use of all this country's vast resources to ad- d? vance the cause of the democracies, and 01 to oppose the purposes of the dictator- a ships. A start has been made in the case of Japan. The Administration is obvious- 10 ]y prepared to squeeze the little island 13 empire to the limit. Our present Far East- pi ern policy says, in effect, that if Japan will call off her current program of con- a quest, we will continue to buy her silk cl and sell her the raw materials she so T sorely needs?while if Japan insists on U1 going ahead in the East, she need expect la nothing else from us than ruthless econ- p omic sanctions and possibly a naval war. 81 When it comes to Germany, our tech- al nique must of course be different. We s' have had almost no trade with the Reich f( . . , . _ since the war began. Battleground of the " trade warfare in this case will be Latin 01 America. Despite all our past efforts, Germany is still a big factor in many d countries south of the Rio Grande. Job y ahead is to destroy Germany's Latin ei American influence, and disrupt her plans ir for bartering her manufactured goods for dl South America's raw materials. w At the moment, it looks as if most of y South America is ready to play along F with this government. Uncle Sam isn't ll loved without reservation down South, t: but thinking South Americans regard him 11 as a far better friend than Herr Hitler. p Iln the case of South American countries v which hesitate to adapt their economic and military policies to ours, polite 8 threats of trade penalties and even mili- 1 tary pressure may be used. This govern- 8 ment is dead certain that South America 0 must be saved for the democratic cause if e the war is to be won, and it will not hesi- v ate to do anything possible to keep iouth America in line. Vichy's complete sell-out to Hitler will lso form the basis for U. S. action. Few /ill be surprised if American marines ventually take over Martinique and| ther French Islands in this hemisphere, knd if Vichy goes ahead with her plans or a joint French-German "defense" of trategic Dakar, many expect that we /ill have to send our Navy in to do the alking for us. Control of Dakar means ontrol over trade routes and military iositions which are vital to this hemis-M here. From a naval point of view, Dakar i J > a fairly tough nut to crack, but our'i dmirals think it could be done with dis- s atch. 1 1 Russia's entry into the European war, r 1 the opinion of most, has made our' i arly participation unlikely. For the time j11 eing at least, there is nothing for us to!J; 0 but send materials abroad. If their .merican flag does go into battle, it is luch more likely to be in the Pacific or ff Africa than in Europe. if 1 hat To Do When These I rmy Convoys Meet You ' ! r We haven't seen anything sent out by* ie public relations department of the i . S. Army Camps in this vicinity informg the public yet about what traffic lould do when a convoy of army vehic-jj ? cnmps t.hrmiorh the citv. or when von L " *"""-----?o*" ? ? ? " W e meeting them on the road. However, it is our understanding, and >rtainly it is logical enough, that these rnvoys are to be regarded the same as 1 ambulance or firetruck. They are to ive right-of-way, and when a motorist :es a convoy coming through it is his nty to park at the nearest point, and ait until it has passed before proceedg It will greatly facilitate the flow of lis army traffic if motorists will bear in ind these facts. NOT EXACTLY NEWS Three Eagle Scouts and one Star Scout who ent three days last week camping out on Long :ach went away with a fine impression of the ispitality of the management. Seeing their tent tched on one of the back lots Tuesday afternoon, F. Middletion, manager for Carolina Lands, c., stopped and asked why they decided to pitch eir tent there. "It's the only place we have perission," one of the boys told him. "Come on up re and I'll show you a lot where you can camp jht out next to the surf," he said. Any time at the subject of beach resorts comes up where ose youngsters can hear it they'll be likely to it in a good word for Long Beach. Captain H. T. Bowmer reports that on Wednesv he and a Dartv of three other Southnort men ? ? - " 1 sre treated to the very rare sight of two sea luys burning at once. He was sober, he said | id could prove his story?by Yaskell, Bill and rarles Wells. Then it was that he added the inrmation that the bouy tender was standing by ady to pick up the extra light after servicing e location. . . . "They didn't cure a single leaf tobacco this year in the barn Mr. Bennie Wilims built on his farm near town to replace the le he had burned last year. The Dan Gregory dance was jam-up, but left iturday and Monday sort of up in the air as iti-climax dates. Dan and the band had a few lys off last week, and by popular vote of the itfit elected to come on down here to spend their y-off at Southport . . . Hard luck champion of le week is A. J. Walton, of near Southport, who st 14 shoats last Wednesday. Heat prostration said to have caused the trouble. Some of the gs weighed as much as 100-pounds. Pretty Boy Robert Taylor, is "Billy The Kid," western dressed up in Sunday-go-to-meeting othes. This is the feature attraction Monday and uesday at the Amuzu .... And that reminds i of the young lady who saw us at Shallotte st Wednesday night on our way home with The nuts aner a aay in wnuevuie ana came over id wanted to see one a minute. Just as we were bout to suggest that she keep the copy as a imple she volunteered the information that her >lks subscribe, that she just wanted to look at le theatre program a minute to see what was a in Southport this week. Andrew Parker says that there were 500 soliers at an outdoor show they put on in his front Etrd a week ago last Sunday night. "The eight by ght floor beams in my front porch were groanigT." he said . . . Sparky Sell, local barber, was own on the waterfront at low tide one day last eek when a stranger said to him: "Look# like ou've been having it pretty dry down here, riend." Sparky looked at the water, then admited that it had been right smart dry. "I hear bey had a big freshet up the river yesterday, bough," he stated hopefully, "and we're all execting to see the river rise right sharp within bree or four hours." "No?" The visitor doubted. Yes," he was assured. "I tell you what: If you're oing to be in town any time you watch what I ell you. She'll go up three or four feet. You're ;oing to be mighty surprised how fast the water an rise around here." And when Sparky answerd the call of duty he left his landlubber friend matching for the first signs of flood water.

I Jumping from Wilmington, John )err, s|>orts editor of the Greensboro Daily News, has been a d teady and consistent booster of ii he Brunswick county fishing. The I Jreensboro area sends more '1 portsmen to the lower North d Carolina coast than any other 1 irea of the state. This is especial- li y true with the number that t lave been coming to Orton Plan- i: ation and its famous freshwater 11 ishing pond. |i , The Raleigh News and Observ- f ir and both its sport -and state s lews editors have also been very s lelpful.

Bob hs been to Soutli>ort three times this year. a ? * * 1 Not far from Bob, over on the a Vashington Daily News, where he t lolds down the position of hunt- j ng and fishing editor, is Don N., t Carpenter.
