The quota for the month of June has not been released. Applications are beginning to come in for supplementary allotments of gasoline, and the word has been pretty generally spread that these blanks may be filled out at Winnabow with Mrs. J. L. Henry or at Shallotte with Carl Andrews. Each of these persons has a supply of blanks upon which application may be made for canning sugar, and in addition the following persons have the blanks and will assist persons in making application for canning sugar: Miss Mildred McDonald, Miss Corrine Greene, Miss Marie Hammond and Mrs. L. C. Brown. Miss Genevieve Eakes, county home demonstration agent, also has a supply of them with her at each club meeting in the county. Members of the rationing board wish to call attention to the fact that they know that some persons in this county are taking advantage of their ability to secure replacements for their tires and arc using their B-cards and their X-cards for non-essential driving. The board could crack down, if it wished to turn into an enforcement agency, and make things unpleasant for these people, but (Continued On Page Four) Study Course Is Begun By B.T.U.

Majority Of Candidate* J Who Seek Nomination At J Polls Saturday In Attendance At Meeting In Courthouse MEN SOLICIT THE SUPPORT OF VOTERS j Sinclair And Moore Here To Present Argument In Favor Of Their Candidacy; Some Were Absent There was a political meeting Monday night in the Brunswick county courthouse, and most of the men who seek nomination on the Democratic ticket in Saturday's primary election appeared. Conspicuous by their absence were Walter M. Stanaland and ' ether candidates who have been following another schedule of speaking appointments about the ^ county. This group has a meeting scheduled here tonight. The Monday night meeting was presided over by W. S. Wells, who first recognized Clifton L. Moore, candidate for district solicitor. Mr. Moore, speaking in a clear, straight-forward manner, declared 1 that there had been some rumors started against him?and that he considered this to be an indication of strength. "When an opponent fears you, he starts rumors," he said. "What I do; what I stand for; what I am; these are the things that count." He denied that he has any agreement with any one of his opponents relative to withdrawing from a possible second primary race and declared emphatically that he is in the fight to the finish, and that he is out to win. District Solicitor David Sinclair also was present and made his appeal to the voters strictly upon the basis of his record in office. He declared that the job is one requiring experience, and then pointed out that he has that qualification. Sinclair flatly declared that a-ijune who said that ; , he had been derelict in the performance of his duty was a liar, and closed by appealing to the voters with; "if you can't elect me, then elect my friend, Clifton Moore." The first Brunswick county man called upon was G. B. Lewis, a candidate for county commissioner, who stated briefly that he is not hooked up with any group or faction; and who declared that it is his purpose, if elected, to serve the best interest of all the people of the county. Otho Bellamy, another candidate for county commissioner, appealed for the vote and support of the voters of Southport. "You have nine good men from which to choose," he pointed out, "so if you don't see fit to elect me you still will have a good board." The ' crowd was impressed by his fairmindedness. u. 4 Tide Table Following is the tide table for Southport during the next week.
