Quality Of Shrimp
Keeps Price Up
Lewis J. Hardee, local seafood
producer, stated Monday night
that the general price for shrimp
in 1948 has been 20 percent off
from what it was in 1947.
This is believed to be due
largely to aheavy production at
all shrimp producing points and
| to a small extent to the drop in
prices since the war.
| Mr. Hardee quickly set things
to rights by saying: "The drop
in prices did not effect the South
I port product, as the size taken
'here brought a premium that off
set thedrop in price".* Local pro
ducers have been receiving as
much per pound as they did in
1947.

than the required number of vot
ers were presented to the board
of county commissioners in the
early fall. The commissioners in
turn passed it on to the election
board for action. Plans were made
to hold the election this month,
but it was found that there were
legal obstacles to such an election
being held within 60 days of a
general election.
According to Mr. McKeithan, as
the election could not be held
before Christmas, it was felt by
all concerned that late in January
vfould be better than in the mid
dle of the holidays. The regis
tration books will open at the

Everybody Works When
(Continued from page one)
to take this progressive step
which would give them the finest
church building in the entire
county; he had counseled with his
board of deacons over financial
problems; and he had preacehed
forceful sermons on stewardship
to keep his mmbers active in
their support of the program
which had ben undertaken. But
the Rev. Mr. Baker was not con
tent with a job as leader in
spirit only. When he said "Let us
??ork together" he really ment
it and soon this became apparent.
There were piles of unsightly
scrap iron rusing away on the
waterfront, and there were
wrecks of abondonded automobiles
on the vacant lots. Also there
was a market for scrap iron. The
Baptist minister enlisted the aid
of young boys in his church mem
bership and set about the business
of converting this scrap into cash.
Already funds from this scourse
have reached more than $2,500.00,
and the scrap iron collection con
tinues, usuallq with the preacher
right there with old clothes on,
working harder than anyone else.
UMost of the labor in this drive
is from the boys, and It occur
'ed to the Rev. Mr. Baker that
perhaps the girls in the congre
: gation would like to help with
the matter of raising money for
I the church. Thus was born the
[idea for the Southport Launderete
a new business which grossed
$1,200.00 during the first five
| months of its exi stance and paid
j a neat profit to the church trea
' sury.
In rambling about the county
in search of scrap iron, discovery
was made that not only was there
a big discrepancy between the
price paid for fresh eggs here in
iScuthport and out in the county,
| but that there always is a short
| age here. Soon the scrap collec
tors were handling country eggs
as a profitable sideline. -
j Not all of the profits received
from these sources were paid into
the church building fund, because
there is an active youth program
i being conducted in connection
with the Baptist church in South
port, and this work had to go on.
[ But as the Rev. Mr. Baker point- J
ed out, "Every dollar which the I
boys and girls helped to turn in
to the church treasurery, regard
less of for what purpose, ment
that other funds made available
for the building program."
A large share of the work,
as usual, fell upon the shoulders
of the women of the church con
gregation, who* throughout the
year have served suppers, have
held numerous cake and pie sales
and have operated booths for the
sale of refreshments at various
public gatherings.
Early in the discussion of pains
for the building program the fact
came to light that an experienced
contractor in disguise was a mem
ber of the congregation; so when
work began G. C. Kilpatrick,
Southport undertaker, was the
man reading the blue prints.
Throughout the building period
he has been in charge of the
work, and has managed to keep
his own private business going
without interferance.
Best available estimates place
the cost of the new church build
ing at $50,000.00. There could be
1 no finer tribute to the coopera
; tive efforts of the entire mem
bership of the Southport Baptist
, church than fact that the antici
pated indebtedness for the com
pleted job will be only $15,000 00.
| Nobody who has been seen the
Baptists at work, from the
preacher down to the youngest
kid who has helped haul scrap,
has any doubt but that this in
debtedness soon will be paid off.
In the South Baptist church,
everybody works'.
