Prospects Are That The

wick County Will Do j
A Great Work
I
During the past several years (
the few 4-H Clubs in Brunswick ,
county have gone far in proving j
their real worth. Both the home |
agent, Miss Alene McLamb, and
county agent J. E. Dodson re- j
cognize this worth to agriculture (
and general farm life. A result (
of this is that they have been j
meeting the eager young folks j
more than half way during the (
past few weeks.
Responding to the general Ue- P
sire or young farm boys and
girls in various sections, the two ^
county workers have held meetings
and perfected organizations
at five different points in the
county during the past ten days.
They found the boys and girls *eager
to get together, to learn
and profit by what they learned
through their own organizations,
aided by advice from elders.
The following new clubs have
been organized, all of them joint C
undertakings between the boys pi
and girls. At each meeting both tl
the county and home agent were yi
present and assisted in forming ei
the club. Following the organiza- cl
tions Mr. Dodson met with the tl
boys and Miss McLamb met d<
with the girls to formulate plans tci

! Set By Coroner; Lewis
Arrested By Deputy
Sheriff Blanton
I Willie H. Holden, well known
I Lockwoods Folly township farmer,
| died early Sunday morning, ten
minutes after receiving a shotgun'
| charge in his stomach. The shot I
'< allegedly was fired by his brother-!
in-law, George Lewis, of South
j Carolina. The shotgun belonged
'to tire slain man, who was in his'
own home at the time of the!
I shooting.
According to information from'
I rvirnner W E Bell and other i
i parties, Lewis and his wife, camej
| to the home of Holden Saturday j
afternoon. Lewis left his wife there'
I [and went to Shallotte. He returned
at a very late hour and Mrs. Lewis
disturbed by his long absence, refused
to go home with him thatj
- I night. Lewis left the house in a j
r | rage and returned about an hour;
. later.
In view of the mood that he was
I in Mrs. Lewis was frightened. Mr.
x 1 Holden it is understood, sought to
s aid her by telling Lewis not to1
i, | come in the house. Nevertheless,1
e he is said to have forced his way
i- in despite Holden's orders. Hot1
a words were passed and Holden
5.1 started to take his shotgun from
e a rack over the door. He had it
,f by the barrel and Lewis got it by I
the stock at the same time. Forco
ing the muzzle against Holden's1
i. abdomem, Lewis discharged the
weapon.
Seeing what he had done, Lewis
s helped to lift the body of Holden j
5 on a bed, where Holden died in
g a few minutes. Deputy Sheriff
s Odell Blanton arrived on the scene:
H shortly afterwards and arrested
0 Lewis.
