I Free-Scoring First Inning I , Gives Locals Big Start, Over Visitors Here Sun day Afternoon The Southport town team had a big afternoon with the Surf City boys here Sunday afternoon, winning 16-2. The visitors were taken for swim the big first inning. ""First up,-the visitors j over a couple of runs while Gene Russ, 16-year old school boy in the box for Southport, was try ing to get his bearings. Going in for their half of the same inn ing Southport exhibited a batting fever and garnered 2 runs, in cidently knocking out two of the visiting jritchers before the mas acre was over. With the score standing 2 to 2 at the end of' this inning, both teams settled down to play rather tight ball. With Tommy Bowmer catching, Russ steadied down and went the whole nine innings.

After seeing the booster pump of the new fire truck in action at Clear Pond Monday morning we are definitely sure that the volunteer Fire Department has a perfect right to be proud of their new fire fighting apparatus. Taking the water from the pond the pump sent 500-gallons of water hurtling through two hoses per minute. It could have done more but the pressure had to be kept down to avoid bursting the slightly old fire hose. The ability of the truck to get water to a fire will be limited only to having hose enough to extend from the fire to the nearest water. The streams of water sent through two lines of hose Monday had such force that every shred of bark, down to the hard wood, was stripped from a good sized pine tree by the water. Should any of our farmer friends wish to see the only tomato plant packing assembly line in the world, they will only need to drive about 7 miles up the River Road from Southport. The line is on the tomato plant growing farm of Everett H. Shep pard, who is our authority for the claim that it is the only line of its kind in the world. Since he has spent most of his life grow ing tomato plants, we are per fectly willing to take his word for it being the first. Packing over a hundred thousand plants per hour it is worth going to see. Going to Shallotte on a bright sunny morning this week to buy a new straw hat that we saw advertised in The State Pilot by Hobson Kirby, it was no surprise to us to see rain clouds gather ing just as soon as we got out side the store with the hat on our head. Buying that hat must have benefited some of our farmers. Stopping at Supply on our way home, Jack King of Freeland told us how much they needed the rain that was coming down. Claude Gore of Shallotte said the (same thing. John B. Ward of Ash said it was just what the doctor ordered for crops. Lonnie McCoy, polite eolored farmer of Northwest township, showed us all of his flashing gold teeth as he approached us in the rain to shake hands. Capt. J. B. Church has not seen our beneficent straw hat. So he has not yet asked us to get him one just like It I Fishing off Little Beach just I below Shallotte Point, Harold Milliken of Shallotte brought up a black drum that weighed 52% , pounds one day the past week. | Fish now seem to be getting much , more plentiful along the coast.
