Visitor Enjoys Howell's Point g Oil Executive And Rovin' Reporter Get In On Al most Everything Except Oyster-Feeding Time ^erry Ball, amiable press and poblic relations man for the Stan d^pd Oil Oompany and greatly; interested in road development in BSunswick county, showed up at so;::hport one afternoon last wfcek. The prelimaries ran to talk of ro^ds and various places in Bruns wick but it was noticed that Jer ry kept staling questioning glanc es at W". B. Keziah out of the cor ny of his eye. The unspoken inquiry was final-' 1$. picked up by Jerry's host say lw: "We may as well go down to Howell's Point." W'Sure," said Jerry, "there are a. lot of newspaper circulation nj?nagers meeting in Wilmington tAtiay and I am supposed to be there shaking hands with them, b^Jt I just had to come down here on a little matter of business \tyth you." The road to Howell's Point was in fine condition. On the way :down there the visiting- shake vour-hand man was told about the Howell Point folks catching oysters, putting them in pens and feeding them corn meal. i "Look, here," said the Standard Oil Man, "did you come out al right from that stay in the hos pital? I've heard plenty of fish tales from you and believed most of them, but I can't swallow those oysters." Arriving at the destination, Jerry was straightway shown the: oysters pens, well stocked with! oysters. But it was not feeding; time for them just then and no-j body was going to lug a sack of j corn meal down to the pens just to convince a doubting Thomas. Host D. A. Whitley at Howell's Point provided a rowboat with an outboard motor, a waterbucket full of shrimp for bait and a man to handle boat and motor. In two minutes the visitors were at a spot where 18 other boats, all in a radious'of 100 yards, surround-J ed them. It was a scene for a movie. Everybody was pulling In fish and telling the neighbors about it. The bait all disappeared in an hour but just at the point of de spair, a colored man came mak ing the rounds in a motor boat.' I He had a large wash tub full of shrimp and was restocking: all boats. Jerry, his host and their boat man all did their bit. When they pulled up their anchor In the shank of the afternoon they found they had a wash tub, plus a waterbusket, full of spots, some croakers, some whiting bluefish and a flounder. ' It was past time for giving the oysters in the pens their daily ration of corn meal when the three go ashore. However, Mr. Whitley set up the two visitors to an oysters roast, and taht was just as good.

Elmore Motor Co. BOLIVIA, N. C. WHERE I STAND... ODELL WILLIAMSON 1,?Removal of State Sales Tax - : "* y ?s f On Farm Machinery And Fuel. North Carolina Farmers are now being penalized every year for thousands of dollars which they are re quired to pay in Sales Tax on Farm Machinery. When a manufacturer buys a piecfe of equipment, he buys at with out having to pay a Sales Tax.'There is no reason why the Farmer, who purchases a tractor for use on his farm, should be required to pay a Sales Tax on this piece of machinery which is to be used,in producing;, food and raw materials. One of the First Things I Shall do When I go to Raleigh in January is to help remove this inequal ity on our Farmers. In this same connection, Fanners now are required to pay a sales tax on the fuel they purchase for use in curing their tobacco and sweet potatoes. Manufacturers and industrial users pay no Sales Tax on their fuel. . . . This is another imposition which I shall do my best to have removed from our FARMERS.
