- The State Port Pilot 7 /f S # Southport. N. G. Published Every Wednesday tgf: , 1 * * "JAMES M. HARPER. JR ... Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS 1.00 THREE MONTHS 75 1 Wednesday, August 24, 1949 Our Deadline We do not want anyone to get the im- ( pression that we do not fully appreciate | news and advertising that is sent in for | use in The Pilot, but recently it has been j necessary to leave out many of both be cause they were sent in late. We thought it might be a good idea to explain again why it is that we cannot continue to ac cept ads and articles right up to press time. The fact that we do not print the news paper in Southport means that it is neces sary for us to mail news and advertising copy ahead of time in order that it may be set up for us when we get ready to go to press on Wednesday. This limits us to a Monday deadline on everything except last-minute news. For this reason we continue to urge our readers to help us by sending in news copy right after the events they wish to report take place. Last Wednesday morning we received a very interesting ^account of a party, which had been held Kthe previous Thursday afternoon; last j Tuesday copy came in for an advertise ment which we had discussed at length with a local merchant several weeks ago. Our aim is to get the paper out every Wednesday, and to get it out as near on time as possible. This is why it is abso lutely necessary to have a deadline for receiving cdpy, and that is why we urge our contributors to hell? us get otfV news and advertising in on time. One thing more in this connection with reference to use of photographs. We do not have tho facilities of an engraving - j plant, and where pictures are submitted for use in the paper sufficient time must be allowed for us to order cuts and have them delivered before press day. Usually it is wise to allow a full week for this kind of work. We hope that all of these qualificat ions do not make it sound like we do not appreciate receiving news and advertise ments and pictures. On the contrary, we do. We just want our readers to under stand some of our problems in order that I we may surmount them. Three Cheers Just as we reminded the voters before the bond election, everybody isn't going to get a paved road in front of his house. Of course, hope springs eternal and each man on a dirt toad has continued to hope that somehow his road would be chosen. There is a word of encouragement in the message of Highway Commissioner Clark that roads will be improved and paved without regard to political debt and only after consideration of the great est need. 4 Traffic should determine what roads I are to he constructed. If a road can serve the dual purpose of serving the greatest number and at the same time put a large group of people within a short distance of a paved highway, then, of course, that should be given consideration. We trust that in this program there will be no attempt to curve roads in front of certain homes just for the sake of paying a political debt. We hope that these roads won't have to be straighten ed a few years hence just because a curve was built to please somebody. Commissioner Clark seemed to be ex plicit on these points. He made it clear that no petitions will be necessary ; that 3 no pressure will be permitted to sway 3 the State Highway Commission from its J objective of building roads to serve the 3 people. If that program is carried out, it > may be that North Carolina wrought well J when $200,000,000 was authorized for i roads. j 4 If you have not often felt the joy of j doing a kind act, you have nesrlected \ much, and most of all yourself. ? A. J Nielen. The Matchless Man!, This is the story of a man? a poor man if judged by material standards a friendless wanderer, if judged by ac quaintances and earthly goods ? yet by inheritance he owned the world. For ? almost 2000 years, the world has felt the power and beauty of an event that still gladdens the hearts of all ages. Little is known of His early childhood except that he helped his father in a car penter shop; at the age of twelve he be gan serious study and the real life story began at the age of thirty. He had only three years in which to accomplish the task of giving the world his message of how to live a better life. Opposition was on every hand. He had no auditorium in which to speak, no ra dio or television to spread his message ? only those who followed by the sea side, or on the Mount of Olives, or bv the oed of pain saw his compassion ? heard his soothing voice ? felt his heaiing touch. His wisdom and judgment were unfailing. On one occasion he was ask ed : "To whom should we pay tribute ?" hoping they might receive an answer from which they could make a case against him. He calmly replied, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." There are many instances when he prov ed that honesty, truthfulness, purity and the love of fellowman were the essence of existence. Then on one great occasion he summed the whole matter up thusly : "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted; Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth ; Blessed are the" merciful, for they shall obtain mer cy; Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God; Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God; Blessed are they which which are persecuted for righteousness' sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven ; Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake; rejoice and be ex ceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven." These words of hope and love fell for the most part on deaf ears ; even as they v.ere spoken there was plotting and scheming on how to destroy Him. He finally selected twelve who were willing to follow him, little knowing that they too, for the most part, would have to stand the supreme test; one whom he had chosen sold him far thirty pieces of silver. Sold him to those who only yester day were singing "Hosanna! Hosanna!" but now were shouting "Crucify! Cruci fy!" He had a few friends who were wil ling to walk that last mile ; one offered to carry his cross ; but as the time of the crucifixtion drew near, most of those upon whom he had counted, were far away. After long hours of torture on the cross ? Jesus died. The earth itself trem bled and quaked, the sun grew dark with mystery, and the world lost ? tem porarily ? its best friend. I say temporar ily, for we all know what happened three days later. In three years and three days ? Christ broke the chains1 of death and set the captive free ? opening to all the gates of Immortality. His message to the world still rings clear today in the words of St. John the Apostle : "Beloved, let us love one another even as Christ hath loved us." ? Selected. RALEIGH ROUNDUP i By Eula Nixon Greenwood LAWYER ESTATES . . . Former Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, who passed away on July 31, left an estate of $161,415. most of which was accumulated after his term as Governor of North Carolina. Back in the twenties, the saying hereabouts was to this effect: "Our Governors usually leave office broken and broke." However, this has certainly not been the case in recent years. Former Governor O. Max Gardner left an es tate well up into six figures, so did Angus W. McLean, J. M. Broughton, and so will Kerr Scott unless something unforeseen occurs be tween now and his passing. Senator, Josiah William Baliey's estate rank ed a little heavier than, everything included, that of Ehringhaus. Former Governor Morrison, thanks to a fortunate marriage, largely, will also leave his beneficiaries exceedingly well fixed. Due to the fact that attorneys, after they have been governor, can because of their pro minence and influence, command much larger fees in their practice, Former Governor R. Cherry should be rather well fixed in another 10 years, but this isn't to infer that he is a pauper by any means at the present. Senator Clyde R. Hoey, it is said, is also financially in dependent. So, since 1920 at least, our leaders ? our poli tical bellwehers ? have done all right turning a dollar. It also seems true that most of them would have earned as much had they not sought and won political office.

Mor gan of Washington, D. C., and ' Rev. Carl Lewis of Rockingham. Rev. X. P. Hedgepeth of Lum- ' berton, has been spending a mon th at Long Beach; Rev Yancey Elliott of Sanford has been spend ing his vacati6n there. Rev. J. E. Neilson of Greenville has also been at Long Beach for the past, week. Rev. Lowell Sodeman of I Clinton has the distinction of be 1 ing the first minister to spend | any time at Fort Caswell. He has ' been vacationing there in a trail John Hemmer of the State News Bureau in Raleigh has been sending us stacks of newspaper clippings showing the swimming pools and other scenes at Fort Caswell. He Is also getting and I sending along stacks of clippings j on sport fishing stories from I here. John writes that he plans j to get arcund in September for , j some more pictures of Brunswick | t ountv. Here with us a year ago j he got several far-reaching pic ture stories, among them pictures of John Fernside and his bear ! hounds and the Reigel Paper com- j pany's Brahma cattle. These pic tures are still being sent out and | used. Only a few days ago the News Bureau got a call from 1 London, England, asking for the ; Reigel cattle pictures and story ] fcr use in England. Unless our check on things is J wrong, few sportsmen come to I Southport oftener for the:r fishing , j than C. C Stegall of Marshville. I Mr. Stegall is here about every I other week and plans to keen on j ^oming. Sometimes he runs afoul bad weather, sometimes good. Even when he does not make a good catch the fact does not dis turb his good disposition. He us | ually goes out with Captain Jpm j es Arnold of the Kiabab. Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Cone of Greens boro also favor the Kiabab, but they take any crafe that is avai ; lable at the time they apply for 1 a charter. Southport sport fishing boats and also individuals are now co operating nicely in reporting cat ches and the names of the parties or individuals making them. These reports are made nightly and are useful In making reports to daily papers, to the State News Bureau in Raleigh and other sources and ; for use in a weekly fishing story J in this paper. One important de tail that is often overlooked in sending us these reports is the name of the individual that catch es the biggest fish to feature ? the trip. Names of all in the 1 party should be given and when j there is an unusual catch the per- 1 son making it should be designat ed, together with the kind and weight of the fish. Reports from ! anywhere along the Brunswick j coast are welcomed and will be used with credit given to the boat or place where the fish arc j taken V/rj'Tcyif | p LEAF (Continued from page one) j vailinir.

August 11, 1949 Dear Mr. Harper, I would appreciate it if you would publish the following art icle in next week's issue of the State Port Pilot. , We all agree that children -are a blessing to parents. We also know that the training and edu cation these children is of pri mary interest to the parent. Realizing this I am unable to restrain myself from telling the parents of Southport how our young boys break the law with the permission of the town officials. The Southport Pool Room dif fers little from any other Pool Room; however, there is one big difference. At any time during business hours one is able to see young boys from the ages of seven to sixteen engaged in shooting pool or observing the game. It is interesting to note that our town officials frequent the Pool Room without putting a stop to our young boy's partici pation in the game. These town officials range from the Chief-of Police to the Mayor. Some people say that there is nothing wrong with the game. I agree, but at the same time I know that a Pool Room is not a healthful environment for the development of young minds. The law states that no one under the age of eighteen be allowed entrance in a Pool Room. After reading this article, I feel sure that the parents, as well as town officials, will want to ptit a stop to this violation of the law. I might suggest that if the manager of the Pool Room cannot ascertain the age of the participants to have them produce their registration cards. In this way we can protect our young people and obey the law.
