Judge Stevens And Party
Have Good Luck Fishing
Party Fishing Friday On Frying Pan Shoals Returns
With Big Catch Of Bluefish And Mackeral
It can be put in the book i
that Judge Henry L. Stevens, I
former National Commander of ;
the American Legion, is a '
pretty lucky fisherman. Three |
times in three years he has i
gone fishing at Southport and I
each time he has caught what
he rated as a record catch, so j
far as he was concerned.
His first trip out netted him
99 trout and 15 bluefish, all of
large size.
On his second run he elected
to surf cast for drum on iJald
Head island. There he got a 36
pounder and some smaller fish.
This week, with his son,
Henry L. Jr., Solicitor Clifton
Moore, E. J. Prevatte, Davis
Herring and Sam Bennett, the
Judge elected to go for blue- ;
fish and mackerel.
They returned to port after i
spending less than half the time 1
they expected to be out. With
them they brought 89 large
mackerel and HO big blue fish.
The catch was believed by
Those who saw it to weigh
around 400 pounds. The party
described the trip as one on
which the fish came aboard
just as fast as they could get
their lines out and haul them
in again. The boat was in
charge of Donnie and Basil
Watts and both these veterans
of sports fishing said that they
had never seen fish bite better.
The party alibied itself for
returning to port inside of four
hours by showing they had no
more ice. The huge catch of
fish they had taken was in dan
ger of spoiling unless they could
get back and pack them. When
they left the fishing grounds
the fish were still biting just
as well as ever.
September Term Of Civil
Court Convenes Mondav
Judge Henry L. Stevens '
Will Be Back To Preside
Over His Second Session
Here This Month
WOMAN JURORS
MAY SEE SERVICE
Numerous Matters Of Liti
gation Indicate That The I
Term May Extend
Throughout Most
Of Week
A one week term of Superior
Court for trial or civil cases will
convene here Monday, September
15. Judge Henry L. Stevens, of
Warsaw, will preside by virtue
of the exchange of courts recent
ly entered into between him and I
Judge Leo Carr, of Burlington.
Several important cases are
to come up Monday and 14 di- j
vorce cases are also . listed on the '
docket to be heard that day. The j
docket extends through Thursday, j
but from the nature of some of
the cases scheduled during the
week it is hardly thought pos
sible that the work can be fin
ished before Friday afternoon.
Including the divorce cases and
motions listed, a total of 39 mat
ters of litigation are supposed to
be disposed of during the week.
As during last week's term
of criminal court when two wom
en, Mrs. F. Mollycheck and Mrs.
Glenn Frazier, both of Southport,
qualified to serve on the jury,
there is a possibility of two
women jurors serving at the
civil term. Mrs. C. B. Kirby, of
Supply, and Mrs. Bridger Sabas
ton, of Shallotte. are on the list
called for next week.
The full list of jurors for next
week is as follows: J. Dallas Mc

Record Cabio Is
Caught On Monday
I
The biggest cabio of the year, !
in fact the largest ever reported !
at Southport, was taken Monday
aboard the Idle-On, owned and
operated by Captain T. H. Watts.
The fish weighed. an even sixty
pouhds. Two smaller fish of the
same species were also taken,
along with a goodly number of
other big fish.
The party making the catch
was headed by W. S. Parker. I
When seen late yesterday after- [
noon Captain Watts said he for- 1
got to ask where they were j
from. The big fish attracted a
lot of attention when brought in. |
Farm Bureau Is
After Members
Membership Of 773 Is Goal
Set For Brunswick Coun
ty; T. T. Ward, President
Of Organization
A goal of 773 members was
established today for the annual '
membership drive of the Farm [
Bureau in Brunswick county as
the campaign got under way this!
morning.
Farm Bureau directors met thisj
week and outlined general plans;
for the campaign. Directors and
others will solicit memberships 1
as usual, but old members are
being urged to turn in their re
newals before September 20 so
that the final 10 days of the drive
may be used in a concentrated
effort to obtain new members.
"This can be accomplished,"
T. T. Ward said, "by giving the
membership fee to one of the
banks, to a solicitor or by mail
ing fee to the Farm Bureau,
Supply."
Spokesmen for the Farm Bu
reau said indications pointed to
a record membership due to the
"marvelous record" of the or
ganization in connection with the
tobacco stabilization program.
They estimated that the Bureau
sponsored legislation establishing
the stabilization corporation had
meant from 10 to 15 cents per
pound for tobacco growers this
year.
"Without this flooring for to
bacco, prices might easily have
dropped as low as 30 cents per
pounds," one leader said. "It is
vital that we prove by our mem
berships that we are back of such
efforts on behalf of the farmer."
Automobile stickers will go out
this week to the more than three
thousand Farm Bureau members
and upon receipt of the stickers,
members are asked to place them
! on their cars and immediately
forward their membership to
headquarters.
I An address by R. Flake Shaw

tion WENC Saturday morning at
6 o'clock and Sunday afternoon

Everyone is invited to hear

Shallotte Bank
Has Busy Time
Cashier J. E. Cook Is Well
Pleased With Increase In
Business During First
Year Of Operation
Well pleased all through the
first year at the fine showing
his bank made, Cashier J. E.
Cooke of the Shallotte branch of
the Waccamaw Bank and Trust
company, was highly elated Sat
urday when speaking to a news
man of the huge increase in the
bank's business since the tobacco
marketing season has started up.
Feeling that he could not give
out any actual figures, Mr. Cooke
waved a huge wad of deposit
slips, representing both new de
positors and increases on the
part of old ones. "We," he said,
speaking for both himself and
Mrs. Cooke, who is his assistant,
"are being worked to death tak
ing care of the big increase in
business."
The branch at Shallotte has
proven a boon to tobacco grow
ers, business houses and the gen
eral public in that section of
Brunswick county.

ROVING
Reporter
W. B. XtZlXW
Dr. and Mrs. B. W. Wells, resi
dents of Southport when Dr.
Well's is rot busy as head of ;
the Department of Botany at
State College, were very valuable
to the town and community this
summer. Hardly a day passed
when Mrs. Wells and the ener
getic doctor did not have one to
several prominent guests from a
?distance. Such folks were attract
ed here by the boundless in
terest that the couple have In
Southport and Brunswick county.
Our estimate of things is that
Dr. and Mrs. Wells talk Bruns-i
wick county more than any other
couple living in the county. It
wis a good day for the county
when they decided to buy a home
here and become summer resi
dents until Dr. Wells retires from
his professional work. It will be(
I still better when they come back
permanently a year or so from
now.
Ralph Frink, of Shallotte, tells
us that he and Aaron McLamb
recently captured a four-foot al
ligator on the farm of H. M. J
Fullwood below Shallotte. The ]
reptile was meandering dftwn a I
ditch on Route 17. Tied to a
tree on Mr. Fullwood's lawn for
several days it attracted much
interest on the part of tourists
and folks of the community.
Both outstanding among the
country's water color painters.

Strange Death
For Rockfish
C. T. Rabbins and his son
Floyd, were fishing in Town
Creek one day recently and
they came upon a huge rock
fish, dead and floating on the
surface.
Examining the big fish they
found it had caught and tried
to swallow a l?rge perch. The
perch lodged in Its throat, pre
venting further feeding. Never
theless the rock, in its hunger,
caught and tried to swallow a
fifteen-inch largo mouth hass.
Both the perch and the bass
were still lodged In the throat
of the fish when Mr. Robbins j
and his son found it.
Plenty Of Sport
Down At Point
Several Fishing Parties
Have Made Good Catches
While Fishing In That
Section During Past Few
Days
Bait fishing at Shallotte Point,
according to John W. Garner,
proprietor of the Anchor Hotel,
has been a little off for the past
two weeks but is now picking up
wonderfully with some nice
catches being made. While the
bait fishing was poor, party boats
and outboard motor boats took
to trolling in a big way, both out
side on the ocean and in the
inlet.
Among the good catches, Mr.
Garner reported that Captain j
Harry Chadwick with a party'
composed of Pete Rhodes and
son, of Wilmington; Doug Davis,
of Hamlet, and Bill Thompson, of
Lumberton, boated 14 dolphin and
a number of nice bluefish and
mackeral. The next day with a
party from High Point, composed
of Worth Lewelyn and others,
made a fine catch of bluefish,
mackeral, trout, pompano and a
few nice channel bass. They were !
trolling with outboard motors in
the inland waterway.

P-T Boat Hits
Sunken Wreck1

Inland Waterway To Do- ;
minican Republic For De
livery To That Government
A 76-foot P. T. boat, just sold|
by the Navy to the Dominican |
Republic, was hauled up on the
railway of the Brunswick Navi
gation company last Wednesday
after she lost all three of her j
propellers and was damaged about :
the bottom when she ran into J
the wrecked barge in the water- 1
way at Lockwoods Folly Inlet.
Following the wreck the boat
was towed back to Southport to
the fish factory and its railway.
Superintendent R. F. Plaxco stat
ed that he was making no charge
for hauling it out of the water
and letting it remain until ne
cessary repairs can be made. He
is, however, unable to do the re- 1
pairing with his regular railway
force as all of the men are busy
with other work at the factory
during this rush fishing season.
A Spanish Lieutenant with a
crew of three men was taking |
the boat southward when they
ran into the hidden wreck.

able. Mrs. Monica Boyce is teach
ing piano.
A four year vocational agricul

at Bolivia, but the home econom
ics department is inactive since
the teacher was lost. This re
