Best luck for the day was reported by three doctors from Goldsboro, who hauled in 49 mackerel while trolling. Included in their catch was one large king mackerel. Several nice catches of trout were taken, but the storm that broke before day Sunday muddied the water and kept fish from biting as well as had been expected for the day. The fourteen parties were from Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Mt. Airey, Raleigh and other cities far from Southport. Inquiries that already are coming in indicate good business for local boatmen over Labor Day. COM STOCK LEAVES The U. S.

Nineteen Days Du With The Th< The proverbial cool days in August delayed its arrival this year until the very last day and came following the most intense unbroken heat spell of recent years. The thermometer dropped to 64 degrees Monday, four days after soaring to 97 degrees on August 27th. On twelve consecutive days rtnrinc the month the mer cury climbed to above the 90 degree level. The thermometer was 90 or above on nineteen days during August. Ordinarily, heat spells are broken by thunderstorms.

After working about a mile further off shore along this route, the boats will work on down toward Lockwoods Folly as long as money for the project holds out. Shrimpers are cautioned not to drag their nets too near a markohnurino fho lnmtinn of some ci aiiuniiig w?v obstruction. In many instances there are several snags in one small area, which is marked by a buoy in the center. In any event, it is practically impossible to locate exactly a submerged snag or wreck and to be on the safe side, shrimpers are urged to give these markers a wide berth. Off shore from the old search light tower below Caswell Beach there is a nest of snags that mean plenty of trouble for any boatman who attempts to drag through there. Apparently these are the stunjps of trees. Off shore about a half mile from the Old Ella, on Bald Head, is another nest of trouble for shrimpers that should be avoided.
