BRUNSWICK FARMERS
NOW SHIPPING HOGS
IN CARLOAD LOTS
Initial Carload Shipped Last
Week; Raisers Are Paid $1,
300 for First Shipment
What is declared by many to have
been the first carload of lWgs ever
to be shipped from Brunswick county
was forwarded by rail last week via
the Wilmington, Brunswick and South
ern railroad.
The hogs were of a splendid variety
and netted the shippers approximately
$1,300, according to the Brunswick
county farm demonstrator, who in no
small way was responsible for the pro
motion of the hog raising movement
Inaugurated among the farmers some
time ago. ,_
Under the old free range plan hogs
were raised in Brunswick county, hut
they were of a very poor variety and
netted the owners practically nothing;
even in meat. However, the farm
demonstration agent began the ad\o
eation of blooded hog raising among
the farmers many months ago and
since that time many splendid hogs
have been produced.
The carload shipment made last
week was the first made of the better
class of hogs that are now.being raised.
The farm demonstrator found it ex
ceedingly difficult to interest the
farmers in the proposition at first, but
after long and consistent effort' the
farmers have been made to realize the
great profit to be derived from hog
raising and many of them are falling
in line with the movement.
■ It Is expected that the first move
ment is going to give great impetus to
the idea, and that many that have not
vet fallen in line will now do so. Owing
to the splendid natural conditions ex
isting in Brunswick county for hog
raising, it is believed that great profit
will be derived by the citizens of that
county from the new scheme.

To Burgaw Students
Rev. Frank Dean Preached Bac
culareate Sermon at Burgaw
BURG-AW, April 22.—Rev. Prank
Dean of Wilmington, preached the
baccalaureate sermon to the graduat
ing class of the Burgaw high school
In” the school audltoroum here this
morning at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Dean' took as his text the first
two verses of the 12th chapter of He
brews. and with these as a basis for
his sermon, delivered an exceedingly
Interesting and appropriate discourse.
He sought to impress the class with,
the necessity of laying aside the things
which hinder and mar the progress
of young- men and women when tnej j
are just launching out into a world
frought with many obstacles.
"The race,” as indicated in the text,
said he, “must be run with patience,
with your faces always turned toward
the future, at all times looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of your
faith.” He reminded the class htat
no two of them would pernaps attain
to the same measure of success, hut
undertook to instill in them the one
dominating desire, that whatever they
did in their respective chosen voca
tions, to at all times do the very best
they could under the circumstances.
The class paid him strict attention
throughout the service.

Idea of Buying Fords on Weekly j
Payment Plan Indorsed
by Roache
‘■Our decision to co-operate in the
Ford weekly purchase plan is simply
in line with our general policy to ex
’tend every possible serivce to the citi
zens of this community,” Jesse F.
Roache, cashier, of the Home Savings
bank, said yesterday relative to the an
nouncement.
“It is an excellent means of pro
moting thrift, the tiling most essentia!
to financial success and the attainment
of ambitions. |
“For several years now. banks gen
erally have been conducting campaigns
urging people to open Christmas sav- i
ings accounts and vaacation savings |
accounts and thousands of persons
have done so. In many cases they
started with small amounts the first
year, hut the second year tlielr goal
was higher until these savings have
mounted into surprising figures.
, “The automobile has become a neces
sity to modern times. It Is essential
to successful business and It is un
equalled as n means of providing pleas
ure for the family.
"The ' effect of the plan is most
wholesome. It is certain to promote a
new feeling toward the automobile and
will tend to create a greater regard
for automobile ownership.
“So why not save to own an automo
bile. lust as you do for a vacation or
for Christmas? They are all pleasure
giving adventures that cost little or no
effort."

WORLD SHOULD BE
BETTER EDUCATED
Such is Opinion of Members of
Local Business and Pro
fessional Women’s Club
Fully realizing that many looat"girls
entering the Wilmington business
world are poorly prepared for the,vari
ous lines, of work they undert^|rf'
members of the local Business an#SPr°
fessional Women’s club hava^Sone on
record as approving and urging a high
school education as a minimum re
quirement for every girl entering busi
ness. and to encourage this are offer
ing two prizes for the two befit essays, i
“Why every girl should complete a!
high school course,” prepared by local
school children.
In the movement whi'ch has been In- I
augurated by the local women’s or- :
ganization, Maj. W. A. Graham, county ,
superintendent of public instruction, is
giving his full co-operation and en- j
dorsement. The essay contest is in the!
hands of the educational committee of j
the Business and Professional Wo-1
men’s club, composed of Miss Clair!
Bathrop, chairman. Miss Beonore H. j
Watts and Miss-Anne M. Barnwell. j
The essay contest is open to all girls
of the seventh and eighth grades in the
city and county schools. All essays
must be in the hands of Miss Bathrop
not later than May 4th.
The following letter has been sent by
Miss Bathrop to the teachers of the
seventh and eighth grades in the city
and county schools:
“It , is a thoroughly recognized fact
that many girls entering business are
poorly prepared for the business
world. Believing that this is often due
to the fact that many, girls begin work
either with no high school education,,
or with only one or two years in high
school, the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women has
gone on record as approving and urg
ing a high school education as a mini
mum requirement for every girl enter- i
ing business.
“As a means of arousing thought in
girls of high school age, the local club
of business and professional women
has decided to offer two prizes of $5.00
and $2.00, respectively, for the best and
second best essay—of not more than
500 words—on the topic. “Why Every
Girl Should Complete a High School
Course.’’
“These essays are to he written in
ink. or typed, and should be in your
hands not later than May 4th. You
will, in turn, be so kind as to hand|
them to the undersigned.
“This contest ifi open to all girls of
the 7th and 8th grades in the city and
county schools.”

MORRISON MAY ACT
AGAINST C. F. & Y. V.
Governor and Attorney General
Will Carry Matter Into
Courts, Announced
That Governor Cameron Morrisbn
and Attorney General Manning are to
immediately take action in the courts
against the dismemberment by the At
lantic Coast Line and Southern Rail
roads of the old Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley railroad will come as good news
to WilmlngtOnians.
Announcement that it is the purpose
of the governor and the attorney gen
eral to institute a suit against the C. F.
& Y. V. dismemberment was made in
Raleigh Saturday night, according to
news reaching the city from Greens
boro. Neither the governor nor attor
ney general could state just what sort
of action will be prosecuted nor where
the case would be carried.
The fight against the dismember
ment of the line was re-instituted in
Wilmington, Fayetteville and Gjeens
boro some months ago and sin'ce that
time a strong sentiment favoring the ,
placing of the great*"east and west rail
road in the hands of one railroad for
operation has been built up. The gen- ,
eral assembly investigated the sale of
the old railroad by which one end want
to the Southern and the other to the
Coast Line, and the recent announce
ment of the governor and the attorney
general is the result of the investiga
ting committee’s report.
It is believed that the state will first
proceed by having the attorney general
of the United States to prosecute this
action as a violation of the federal law.
The late Governor Bickett gave a great
amount of study to this dismember
ment which he regarded as a rank vio
lation of the law.
