Speed Makes Up For Height Here Speed Boys Of Brunswick County Training School Turn Back Visiting Tabor City Quint If height is an essential point in basket ball the boys of the Brunswick County Training school at Southport have a big question mark in relation to their team. This colored school has always put out an exceptionally good J boys team. They are good now, at least they were Thursday night when they took on and played the Tabor City high school, beat ing them 21 to 12 in a fast and exciting game. Most of the speed centered around George Parker, Willie McDonald and Donald Galloway, j three small Southporters of about1 15 years of age. These boys, when | the ball came their way as it frequently did, literally flew down the court. They either scored J points or made it possible for j some of their taller teammates | to score. It is understood that school has! plenty of taller boys who want places on the team. On the face J. A.

Elmore of the Elmore Motor Company at Bolivia has been in a hospital in Richmand, Va., for the past two weeks and underwent a serious operation while there. It is expected that he will be able to return to his home in Wilmington the last of this week, but will not be able to attend to his business at Bolivia for two or three weeks longer. Mr. Elmore also owns the Bolivia Nursery Company, Inc. He established this plant growing business several years ago and has steadily built it up. Recently he had it incorporated and it is understood that he plans for ex tension of the grounds. Establishing the motor company at Bolivia more that a dozen years ago, Mr. Elmore has con tinued to reside in Wilmington, driving to Bolivia daily when con ditions would permit. During his present stay in the nospital the business has continued steadily under the regular force, headed by H. Foster Mintz in the office and Douglas Hawes in the parts department.

E. Dodson, a j strong believer in winter legum es and grain, said this week that j Brunswick has the largest acre I age ever planted in such crops, Not only is the acreage unusual ly large, but a perfect stand was secured in practically every field, Legumes and small grain are both thriving. The corn crop this year turned out the biggest and best ever grown. There is ample for the final fattening of hogs, for all needs among the farmers and for a great deal that can be sold. The great amount of grain sown this fall will lessen the need for the use of corn. Hundreds of far mers will use some of their grain fields for winter grazing of cat tle and other stock. With pride in the natural ad vantages, Mr. Dodson called at tention to the fact that stock could be pastured and would thr ive without feeding for 12 months of the year in Brunswick. This county can raise cattle and raise them cheaply. The County Agent thinks that prices on beef will break some SOUTHPORT TEAMS Continued From Page One outing of the year to Bolivia in a nip-and-tuck affair which end ed 20 to 19.

Bear Business Still Thriving Phelps Boys Account For Couple During Past Week With One Being 'Firing Squad* Victim Only two bears were reported killed in the county during the past week. But several others may | have met their Waterloo without j any report being made. I One of the slain animals met its death at the hands of a firing squad, so to speak. It is not known exactly which of three men killed it, but it is said to have received three mortal bullets, all fired at the same instant by different men. The report is that this bear was being run by the hounds of Aldreth and Delmas Phelps. The animal started across a road, near which all three of the hunt ers were watching. All three of them fired at the same instant and each shot went home. The other bear killed had fallen victim to a trap prepared for it by the Phelps boys. One of the boys, Talmadge Phelps got up very early in the morning to go I to Shallotte. Half a mile from the home and not far from the trap, he stopped his car, listened andl heard the bear in the trap, mak-| ing an uproar. He returned to the house for his brothers and guns and they put an end to' bruin. next fall, but he appeared little concerned about the possibility. He pointed out that the foot and mouth disease was keeping Mexican cattle out of the United States. Added to . this non-com petition from Mexican beef is the fact that during the war, millions of acres- of grazing land were plowed under and planted to wheat. The western beef cattle became scarce and there is a real shortage of cattle in the United States today. With plenty of grain and graz ing to carry them without much! expense, farmers are acting wise ly by keeping their young cattle j and getting more possible, ac-1 Cording to Mr. Dodson.
