The highway between
will be blocked during the r
way employees make much
of the road between the Sa
Bell Swamp.
Work on this project began:
Monday morning and will be
rushed to completion. In the
meantime, Southport-Wilmington j
travelers will have to use the
detour which is1 out the road to
Supply to the Midway filling
station, thence to the right toward
Bolivia.
The repairs that are bping |
made on the road will consist of j
applying a coat of asphalt and j
gravel on top of the present sur- j
face, a process that is known
as drag sealing. It will require
forty carloads of rock for the j
completion of this project.
Work was commenced at a!
point ten miles from the Sawdust
Trail intersection and will
come back toward Southport, |
smoothing out the roughest places
in the hard surface between here

Spends Two Days
Sea When Motor
Wilhelm Schmidt, fisher- [
man who has been in Southport
for several months, caused
quite a bit of uneasiness
along the waterfront during
the week-end when he was
at sea from Saturday morning
until early Monday in his
33-foot fishing boat.
According to his story,
Schmidt and his partner,
Charlie Williamson, ieft
Southport early Saturday for
a fishing trip outside. The
water was so rough that
there was little fishing to be
done Saturday, so the two
men cast ancnor aoout so
miles off shore and spent
Saturday night.
About 10 o'clock Sunday
morning the motor in his
boat knocked off, according
to Schmidt, and fishing was
forgotten in making plans
for returning to land. The
small sail in the boat was
raised, but there was little
breeze and they were still
far from shore at nightfall.
Meantime. Schmidt had
been working with his engine
