Local Juniors Defeat Bolivia A baseball game between South port Presbyterian boys and Boli via juniors was played in South port Thursday with the score be- ; ing 12 to 4 in favor of the Pres byterians. This was the third in a series between the two teams, the Boli via boys having won by one run in each of the two previous con tests. The most spectacular play of the game was a catch by Glen Hart in the outfield. The Southport Presbyterian team is to play Wilmington Hi-Y team today (Wednesday) at 2:30| o'clock. After the game the local boys will be feted by the Y.M.C.A. one of the treats being a swim in the YMCA pool. GOT PLENTY BAIT Using a small try towed by an outboard motor with the object of catching bait, Dr. ^ R. Hyatt of Southport pulled in a 14% pound steamboat or tautog this week. The fish was almost as large as the mouth of the net. For the moment Dr. Hyatt thought he had acquired a shark. MUSICAL PROGRAM Members of St. James A. M. E. Zion church will present James Frink, talented young college student, in a musical program Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. WEEK IN GREECE Dewey L. Rhodes of Supply, a crew member aboard the destry er USS Meredith, had the op portunity of visiting around in Athens, Greece, last week. He is a fireman's apprentice aboard the vessel which put in at the ancient Greek capitol for a week. ATTEND WEDDING The following Southport people j attended the St. George-Morri son wedding in Rose Hill Sunday: Mrs. E. F. St. George, mother of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Larsen, Mrs. John Swain and daughters, Karen and Nancy, and Mr. and Mrs. H. T. St. George. SAYS GOOD CROPS Sam Joe Frink, a member of the Brunswick county board of education, stated Monday night that his tobacco, corn and other crops are exceptionally fine. He regarded the general farming out look as being unusually good. The Rovin' Reporter (Continued from page one) ing of his returning soon reminds us that Mr. Deane has been wrestling with Western Union of ficials to obtain some sort of telegraph service to Long Beach. This week he wrote C. C. Carr at Long Beach that the Western Union folks, through their Was hington office, had arranged for physical delivery of telegrams from Southport to Long' Beach. Messages wired in to Southport will be delivered at the beach im mediately, with a charge of 75c for this delivery service. Col. Ivan L. Bennett, a Bruns wick man, was head Army Chap lain In the Pacific during the late World War. Relatively speaking he held the same position among the Chaplains that General Mc Arthur held among the officers and men. Now that he is spend , ing his vacation here. Colonel Bennett placed himself under our command Saturday and we made him dig fishing worms with a I shovel. They have a really bumpless road to St. Phillip's Church at Orton, for the first time. Not only is the short road in fine shape, * they have cleared off the church grounds and the visitors really have something worth see ing in the historic ruins. No charge is made for visits to St. Phillips. ! The place is in the nature of j being a public shrine and is much ' visited. When the River Road is J completed the historic church building and graveyard will draw many thousands of visitors each year. j '1 4l In starting camellias and aza | leas especially course grades of ! sand must be used. Orton is now ' bringing in such sand by the car load in preparation of starting 1 thousands of new camellia and ' azalea plants this year. The hot 1 houses and hotbeds are all cleared of last year's plants. They have been transferee! to the open spac es where they will grow to mark atable size and the annual new crop of plants will be started in a few days. During the two years of his administration as manager Kenneth Sprunt is said to have made the Orton flower and plant growing permanently established along business lines. There is little difference between plant growing and regular farming. Showing Colonel Ivan Bennett through Luela's Chapel at Orton, this past week, it was explained to the Army Chaplain that with both white and colored employe es of the plantation attending, as in the old days, a form of religi ous service was held at the chapel each Sunday. The Colonel, who has preached to millions, said he , would like to hold services in the chapel for the Orton folks when he returns to Southport later in the summer. A lot of people who travel the Supply-Southport road have been underselling the value of the blue berry farm land of Graham and Key, two miles from town. It is granted that most of the land ly ing near the road is sandy and there does not appear to be much visible results after four years of time and money, during which not a cent come in. The folks have been doubtful may see things in a different light when they learn that out of the experience gained through many years of blue berry growing Graham and Key expect that land to be worth all of fifteen hundred dollars per acre four years from now. They are not stopping with the 50- acres they now have planted. They will plant 25 acres more each yearr untill they have about all of their 200 acres in blueberry bushes. Each year the tobacco growers tell us that their crop is the best they have ever grown. At least many of them do that. This year is no exception. With plenty of good strong plants ready well , ahead of the normal planting time most of this year's crop was planted before the usual time. The growing season appears to have been a good one and with ample rain in recent weeks it now ap pears that there will be little of the low grade sand lugs. This first cropping may grade up pretty well and with fairly good weather during the short remain der of the growing season both the poundage per acre and the grade of this years crop should run big. It is understood that many of the growers have started cropping this week. Another week and this work will be general. Rev. H. M. Baker was awaken i ed early Friday morning by a phone call from Philadelphia, it was Kelly Singletary and he wan ted someone in Southport to know he had planned to come back for Homecoming after being away for thirty years, but sickness preven I ted his carrying out his plans. However, he was thinking about [all the friends in Southport that day and he informed the local minister that he was asking his pastor to "say a little prayer" for Southport. ORDINATION IS (Continued Firm rage One) tise church. Music will be furnished on the program by a visiting quartet and the Leland church choir under the direction of Garland Bordeaux. | Biblical remarks will be given I ; by Rev. W. G. Phelps, pastor ofj the Parmer's Chapel church, the j invocation will be rendered by i Brother S. A. Sue, chairman ofi the deacon board. The public is cordially invited to attend this program. GOOD LUCK ON (Continued from page one) it a regular Monday morning job to get a supply of these fish for the table. Hie Botfly, Captain Basil Watts, also went to the gulf Monday, carrying W. H. Sanders and party from Chase City, Va. They got 225 sea bass and red snappers, 8 dolphin and 1 king mackerel. All boats here are understood to be chartered for the coming Saturday and Sunday. The skip pers all say that the fish are there and that everything is set for good flshing every day that | the weather will permit. Some ofi the boatmen suggest that sports men seeking to charter a boat | try and arrange their trip for J some week day. The fish will bite just as well on a week day as I during the week-end and the chances of being able to get a boat over the week-end are rath er slim owing to the big demand 1 at such times.
