the men in the camp and was
the host of the camp and guide

He has been replaced by Lieutenant
Carlisle King, of Hartsville,

The electrocution occurred
when the Green woman sraelled
burning rubber inside her

trouble was coming from the
radio, she disconnected the
power. James Swain, colored,
who was trying to help her
locate the cause of the burning,
cut off the power switch
in the house. The woman
went outside and was attempting
to puU up the
ground wire to her radio
when she received the fnll
shock of a high-voltage power
line. Her death was instantaneous.
James Swain and William

to pull her away from

gh school, died in the Bruns- ,
ick county hospital late Friday *
ight from the effects of a selfaministered
dose of poison. This
as his second attempt within 1
iree weeks to take his own life.
Poor health and worry over
nancial difficulties were offered
s possible explanations for his
ash act. At the time of his
eath his baby was dangerously
11 in a Wilmington hospital.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr.
5right attended the Coastal Fair j
n Wilmington, but members of
he party with him say that he

3. C. Johnson went to his home
:o discover the cause of his absence.

lome, Mr. Johnson found the:
loors locked. Looking through a |
vindow of the house he saw the j
:eacher sitting on the edge of j
lis baby's bed. Nearby was a j
Bible which he apparently had i
leen reading.

Southport where everything posiible
was done to counteract the J
;ffects of the dose. He remained |
;onscious during the greater part
)f the time until his death.
His father arrived in Southport 1
i few hours before Mr. Bright j
iied. The body was prepared fori
lurial by the M. A. Northrop |

vas shipped to his home in
Sylacauga, Ala.
The deceased was a graduate
)f Auburn University and was a j
food teacher. In addition to his j
rnrents he is survived by his wife

Local Man Hears
From Peruvians
W. B. Keziah Received Postal
Card Last Week From
Commander Thornberry
Of The Peruvian Ship
Loretta, Which Visited
Southport
The presence here of the two
Peruvian gunboats, the Amazonas
and the Loretta, for 10 days
during the summer of 1934 created
considerable local and statewide
interest. Last week W. B.
Keziah received a post card from
Commander William D. Thornberry
of the Loretta announcing
the safe arrival of the ship and
crew in her home port.
The card had been mailed In
Peru on October 18, 1934, more
than one year before it reached
its destination. Other communications
from the boats had been
received from time to time as
they touched at points on their
southward journey to Peru.
During their stay in the Southport
harbor the two visiting
boats were jokingly dubbed the
Peruvian Navy and the officers
and crews in charge proved" to be
very interesting visitors.
