Sales Went High Enough
To Reach
Brunt wick's Overall
Quota
Up to Sa.urday, state officials
in charge of the 5th War Bond
Drive repotted that only three
counties in North Carolina had
reached their quotas in the sale
of "E" Bonds. These three counties
were not identified at the
time but Chairman R. F. Plaxco
and assistant Chairman Hobson
Kirby are jubilant in their knowledge
that Brunswick was one of
the three.
There is a possibility that
Brunswick may have been the
first county in the State to reach
its full quo a. of "E" Bonds. Reports
received on Thursday ol
last week indicated that the county
was five housand dollars over
the "E" Bond quota. This Thursday
report would naturally indicate
that the county went over on
Wednesday.
All reports are not in but it
can be definitely stated that the
county has reached its full quota
with something to spare. Bonds
other than "E" did not sell to the
quota but the "E" bonds went
several thousand dollars over
making the overall sales in excess
of the quota.
Prince O Brien of the Waccamaw
Bank and Trust Company
one of the most active workers
in the drive, states positively that
the county went well over the
top. He has reports to difinitely
show that much and is confident
that late leports will swell the
total sales into a fine showing
over the quota. Like Messrs. Kirby
and Plaxco, Mr. O'Brien is
very much gratified at the "E'
bond sales. He says that the sales
of these bonds are conclusive prooi
that Brunswick is backing the
boys at the front.

MAJOR R. I. -MtNTZ
Board Member
Still Question
It Apparently Will Be up
To Representative To Decide
The question of who will be
members of the next board of education
now seems to be up to
the person elected Representative
in the next General Assembly. In
the orginal count of votes M. B. |
Chinnis of North West township
was apparently nominated , by a
very small majority.
Later, irregularities Were
charged at the Shallottc voting
precinct and at a recount by the
board of elections the throwing
out of votes that were allegedly
miscounted at this precinct resulted
in R. I. Phelps having a lead
of about the same number of votes
that was originally credited to
Mr. Chinnis.
Inasmuch as the legislature
usually names members of the
board of education, this naming
being in accord with the vote
received in the primary, the whole
matter of saying who shall be appointed
is being left to that
body.
It is understood that the registrars
and judge of the Shallotte
election precinct have all resigned
and that new members will shortly
be appointed.

A case charging Mrs. Eva Holden,

Court here Monday. Mrs.
Holden was alleged to have shot
and seriously wounded Donald
Register, a son-in-law of a neighboring
family. She is said to have
been unacquainted with Register,
who was in the army and whose I
home was in Florida. Allegedly, |
while threatening the neighbor i
and brandishing a rifle, the weapon
was discharged, the bullet
striking Register. This occurred
several weeks ago and Mrs. Hol-j
. den has since been held under a
$2,500 bond until Register recovered.
Upon a written agreement be-1
tween Mrs. Holden's attorney and
the solicitor, Judge Ward suspend1
ed judgment, the agreement being
! that within five days Mr. Holden
