Company, at Shallotte. Continu- i
ing, Mr. Kravitz said: "You are!
to be congratulated for the splen
did paper you are putting out. It
is a credit to every section of
Brunswick. My brothers in New
York get it and like it. They
judge Brunswick county well by
the splendid paper they see each
week."
Mrs. Cora S. Rice, editor of
the North Carolina Motor Ve
hicle, published by the State
Highway Commission, writes us
that a picture and story of South
port's Model T fire truck will
appear in the next edition of the
publication. Despite the fact that
the Volunteer Fire Department
wants and needs a new and more
powerful piece of fire fighting
equipment, the old red wagon is
still attracting favorable in
terest.
In a story last week regarding
the British ketch Maria Catherine
being towed in here by one of
the Lewis J. Hardee shrimpers a
slight error was made. The craft
was towed in by the Claudia J.
of the Wells fleet. The craft, en
route to Bermuda and England,
had her auxiliary engine disabled
and had been becalmed off South
port for two days when picked
up. Captain Drury, the skipper,
was a former aide to the Prince
of Wales. I
It has been mentioned before
that two of our good friends
made during the war time when
they were here in service, Don-!
aid Rodger and Daniel S. Grant, j
from Chicago and New York re
taken The Pilot for the past five J
years. One pays for himself and
spectively , have continuously
the other one year and the other
pays for both the next. This
spring both sent for himself and
the other. We returned Rodger's
check as Grant's had arrived
first. This week Rodger sent
back his check, saying he did
not want to get mixed up so
we could just extend both sub
scriptions through 1950. "Then,
there will be no chance of a slip
up," he said. What would we do
'without The Pilot when it brings
us news of old friends?"
The Pilot never intentionally
leaves out matter that is news!
land which is sent in by friends
'of the paper. However, it often
| happens that everything is sent
in at the last moment before
! press time. In such cases matter
'has to be left out owing to in
! ability to handle it. Instances
have frequently occured where
[ someone waited two or three
j w:eeks after an event and then
have rushed a report to us just
! a few hours before press time.
News matter should be mailed
j in as soon as possible after it
, happens.
He did not say anything about
it to us, and so far as we know
he has no idea that we get and
read The North .Carolina Motor
j Vehicle publication. It was a
pleasure to us to read in this
publication a letter from Lt. Col.
Leon McGlynn, Post Surgeon at
Fort Bragg, praising State High
[way Patrolman J. C. Taylor, of
I Leland, for his courtesy to mo
torists on the road. The Surgeon
and Mrs. McGlynn had been to
Orton, got a flat tire and the
officer came along and waded in
to help change it without know
ing or caring whom he was
assisting.

MY SINCERE THANKS
I sincerely appreciate the fine vote and support
given me by my friends in all section of Brunswick
county in the Primary Election Saturday.
It is an honor to he the nominee for Judge of the
Recorder's Court on the Democratic ticket, and I hope
you will give me your active support in the General
Election.

of deaf children desiring to re-'

the Public Welfare Department
in Southport as soon as possible.
A nuisance of many years'
standing and one which has pro
voked much iiTitation on the part
of other property owners, is be-'
ing cleared up this week with
the city placing a force of work
men to clean up the Mark Far
gurson lot adjoining the Garri
son grounds. This 100-foot lot
extending from street to street,
has been allowed to grow up in
a regular jungle of Vines, bushes
and trees. All but the more valu
able trees are to be cut. The
iFargurson house may possibly
be torn down owing to the fact
that it is rotten, unsightly and a
fire hazard. A guardian was re
cently appointed for Mr. Fargur
json, who is in a hospital in Ra
leight.
Two years and more since the
war has been the coming of a
wonderful improvement in the
Btandard of the homes of the
colored citizens of Southport;. Old
ones have been repaired, new
ones built, yards and grounds
have been looked after. The
change brought about by the
diligence and effort of many of
the colored citizens is striking.
We shook hands with a Wil
mington man this week. Had not
seen him in several years but
readily recognized him. That is,
we recognized him until we
shook hands with him. Remem
bering previous handshakes and
knowing them too well, we had
to take another look to make
sure our eyes had not fooled us.
There was no mistake, it was J.
E. L. Wade. Likewise there is
no mistake that he has reform
ed his handshake. It used to be
that he ofter brought an un
specting friend to his knees when
he grasped their hand. He can
now shake hands cordially with
out leaving the other fellow with
crushed bones.

Much of the odor and dirt that1
usually surrounds a fish factory
has been disposed of at the plant
of the Brunswick Navigation j
Company during- recent years, j
Most of the odors came from the1
acid scrap. The factory no longer,
produces this acid scrap, as prac-;
tically all of the dried and ground :
fish goes into the making of fish-'
meal. The company still makes
dry scrap for use in fertilizers
but there is very little smell at
tached to it. Both the scrap and
fishmeal is transported in bags
on trucks and the oil, a valuable
part of the menhadden industry, j
is moved in tank trucks.

Light Ship Is Landmark
i Continued jrrom Page Onel
end of each month the big ship
tender takes it out, along with
supplies and replacements for
the crew who may be coming off
duty. These men are brought in
to Southport. Formerly the ten
der brought much mail, along
with the men, on her trips in
here.
Now there may be only a few
letters. This is because the little
fishing boats going out almost
daily make it a practice to touch
the lightship and receive a pack
age of letters to be brought in
for mailing at Southport. In re
turn, if the little boats have no
radio, the lightship is ready with
a full and complete weather re
port to be passed over its side,
along with the letters.
Many a time the little fishing
boats have arrived at the light
ship and received assurance
everything was o. k. for them
to stay. At other times they
have received warning messages
that sent them scurring home
wards to cross the Cape Fear
bar before a rising gale made
such crossings periolous.
Now most of the fishing craft
that go to the Frying Pan have
their own ship-to-shore phones.
They hardly need the messages
that the crew of the ship are
ready to pass over relative to
the weather. Still, they invariably
go within speaking distance, to
hail and pass a friendly greeting,
a greeting that the crew of the
ship is only too willing to hear
and return.

name and address was given in

that young Chambers must have

SOME RAT KILLING
Mrs. Wilbur Register of Shal
lotte Village Point says that her
husband recently put out rat
poison in and around his barn. A
short time thereafter he found
176 dead rats, most of them very

almost as many more of the rats
died and were never found.
