Southport Boys
Set Hot Pace
Local Entries In Wilming
ton Sunday School Leag
ue Playing Good Brand
Of Basketball
Under the leadership of the
pastor, the Kev. H. M. Baker, and
with John Simmons assisting in
the coaching, the Smith port Bap
tist church now has two fine hos
ketball teams playing tn the
YMCA Sunday School League in
Wilmington. The first team has;
been playing since the schedule j
got underway, several weeks ago j
and at this time is tied for se
cond place standing in the league
with a good chance of copping
the pennant in the finals.
The second group of Southport
boys was formed last week to
take the place of the St. James
church team in Wilmington, that
church having decided to drop out |
and as it was desirable to hold j
the league intact. This team plays1
Temple Thursday night. The origi
nal team will play Trinty Satur-!
day at noon.
i
Both the teams have recently j
been outfitted with new black and j
gold uniforms. Temple is the top |
team in the league and the main
hurdle that the Southport boys
must go over, if they are to win
the pennant. While all of the legue
are played in Wilmington a speci
al game is being arranged to be
played here between Temple and i
the "A" team sometime before'
the end of this month. The pro-j
ceeds will go to the Southport
Baptist church building' fund.
Traces of air have been detect-'

Ne^v Jersey Man Ready To
Begin Operations In Pro
duction Of Tomato Plants |
For Shipment North
Equipped with a bulldozer and
a tractor and plows as the main |
implements, Everett H. Sheppard,,
of Shiloh, N. J., will start clear
ing a l."5-acre tract of land on'
the River Road Thursday of this,
week. Mr. Sheppard and his i
brother arrived here Tuesday and j
are only waiting a clearing up of!
the weather to begin operations.
Forty acres of land that was
in farm crops last year will be |
planted In tomato seed. This
planting will be done in Vebiuary,
according to Mr. Sheppard. He
deems that the land which he is |
now starting to clear will be too'
fresh for tomato plants the first j
year. Accordingly, he will plant I
most of the land he clears this j
winter in water melons, or some j
other crop. It will all be ready i
for tomato seed next year.
The 40 acres that are to go in
seed in February are on the Ro-1
bert McRackan land on the River
Road, three miles from Southport.j
The 135 acres which he will clear!
is on the same road, near Marsh j
Branch, on land which he leased i
with the option of purchasing
from Mrs. Helen G. Bragaw ol
Southport.

Farmers Should
File Income Tax
If Gross Revenue Is Greater
Than $500, Law Requires
Each Person To Make
Return
The beginning of a new year
means that incomc tax reporting
time is here, says C. Brice RatcK- [
ford, in charge of Farm Manage-1
ment for the Stnte College Ex-,
tension Service, and farmers along i
with most other people will have i
to consider filing their returns. |
Many Tar Heel farm families'
will not have to pay any income i
tax. Mr. Ratchford said, but the!
greater majority of them will'
have <to file a return.
if you are in doubt as to whe
ther you have to file a return,j
then here is the deciding factor,!
ll tile gross income from your j
farm was more than $500 during |
the'year, you should file a re
turn. "Since all farm expenses may
be deducted along with the per
sonal exemption of $500 for seif,
$500 for wife, and $500 for each
dependent relative, this will mean
that a large number of farmers!
will not have to pay any tax.\
However, there is a severe penalty j
for not filing a return. -
Farmers should study the In
structions issued with the income
tax forms' and take all legal de
ductions, Mr. Ratchford said.
