wick county corn crop appears
especially promising.
Superior court on May 17th,'
will come at a rather hard time!
for farmers to leave their work.,
With a great many women on
the jury panel it might be sup
posed that fewer men than usual
will have to attend this coming
term. Such a supposition is an
error, as more men than usual
will be in attendance. Many of j
them will come just to see what
the women are doing.
O. P. Bellamy, former chair
man of the board of county com-1
missioners, has promised us a big
watermelon out of his first that1
get ripe. He grows some extra
fine ones and we hope his prom
ises are just as good. The rea
son that he is arranging this
early to dispose of one of the
best is that a few weeks ago
we ad something in this column
about the fine tobacco plants he
grew this year. Everybody grew
enough plants this year, and there
has not been any sales of sur
plus plants. But farmer Bellamy,
just because somebody read and
believed what we said about his
fine plants, has gone anil sold
all he did not need for his own
use. When we told him we should
have a commission for helping to
sell those plants, he' said he would
give us a big watermelon instead
of dividing the moola.
With his tobacco crop in Slial
lotte township planted and some
one to look after it until August,
[E. V. Leonard, office deputy un
jder the late Sheriff John White,
[left Monday for Harrisburg, Pa.
where he will be with his bro
ther until August. He will re
turn then. His address is Alli
sonia Hotel, 13th and Market
Streets, Harrisburg, Pa. Despite
the fact that he will only be
away three months, he told us
that he could not do without the
paper for that long.
Mrs. William G. Scola of 27
Kinnlcutt Road, Worchester,
Mass., was presented with a
year's subscription to The Pilot
this week by Mrs. Bellamy, Mrs.
Hawes and Mrs. Sanderson. Mrs.
Scola, as Miss Marie Holden, was
one of the girls in the REA of
fice at Shallotte. She was mar
ried some months ago and this
week when we walked into her
old office her former coworkers
immediately announced that they
wanted to send the paper to
Marie as a present.

company, and others are that
around 300 Brunswick county
people attended the cooperative
marketing meetings last week.
A general interest is indicated
by the good attendance and in
terest shown at all meetings.
S. D. Grissett and Gilbert J.
Grissett, both of Shallotte RFD,
stopped us the other day and
each said he wanted to subscribe
lor the Rovin' Reporter. Remarks
like that and all of the fan mall
we get?and there is quite a bit
of the fan mail?are the only
things that keep us from cussing
out this column and quitting it.
We have a call for help from

wants a small house or at least
a two-room apartment, furnished,

have a well-lighted room where
she can paint on rainy days when
she cannot work outside. If no

to get her a house or apartment

Artists seem to be breaking
out in a rash to get to South

say that he would be seeing more
of us this year than in previous
years as he has just received a
Rosenwald Fellowship in painting
and it will enable him to ask for
a year's leave from his job in

and devote his full time to paint
