I DELAY PLAN TO
REDUCE PERSONNEL
Dr. C. L. Williams, assistant
surgeon general in charge of
foreign quarantine, said last
Thursday the public health
service would not make any
reduction in the personnel of
the Capt Fear quarantine station
at Wilmington, N. C., in
the immediate future.
The decision, he said, was
based upon a report from Dr.
J. A. Dosher, chief of the Cape
Fear station, who protested a
proposal to reduce the station's
personnel from five to
two or three men.
Dr. Dosher's report said the
work of the station required
the present number of employes.
"As a result of this report,
the plan to reduce the Cape
Fear personnel has been temporarily
"placed on ice," Dr.
Williams said.
"Plans for any changes will
be held in abeyance for a few
months at least."

Fishing Good Aga
Days Mud (
Sport fishing has about
gotten back into popular favor
after having a severe
setback along about the 5th
and 6th of this month when
stormy % weather and an excess
of rain nearly caused
the trout to stop biting.
Trout, blues and mackerel
are all at their best at taking
the hook in clear waters.
The heavy rains sent quite
a bit of muddy water coursing
down the Cape Fear and
spreading over the fishing
grounds, with one of the results
being that few of the
game fish were caught for
several days. All traces of
this colored water have now
disappeared and the boatmen
say that they are biting
good. Some of them are
bringing in big catches to
nrove it.

IDEAL RACE COURSE
Similar Races Being Held
Annually In Other Places
On Coast Attracting
Large Crowds
For Events
Irving Corbett, Wilmington
sportsman, was in Southport last
week and discussed with Captain
j I. B. Bussels the feasibility of
j holding yacht races down here
sometime next season.
_1 Seeing in this suggestion a
possibility for a sports event that
" i would attract thousands of sports
^ ' lovers from North Carolina and
other states, W. B. Keziah took
-1 up the matter with Wilmington
-1 men and received an encouraging
letter from Henry L. Taylor.
The latter heartily approves of
the possibilities for a racing
course down here, and suggested
that every effort be made to secure
the races. He said that the
? Carolina Yacht Club would be
' glad to assist in bringing the
*: event to Southport, and sugges|
ted that the organization be officially
identified with the city in
inviting boat owners here.
Mr. Taylor told of races recently
held at Charleston, Rockville
and Beaufort. S. C. Several
thousands of racing fans are at'
tracted for these events, he said.
At Rockville, a village of 200.
the race crowds swell the population
to 3,000.
With Southport acting as host,
and the races being officially
known as "Southport Races, run
in co-operation with the Carolina
Yacht Club of Wrightsville," the
yacht races are a good bet for
centering sports fan's interest in
this section next summer.

And Pressing Club Next

A colored dwelling on the Saw
Dust Trail road and the pressing
jclub which stood next door were
r J destroyed early Sunday morning
(by fire of an unknown origin.
By the time members of the
: Southport volunteer fire department
wore on lied flames had xir
tually gutted the frame dwelling.
' | Concentrating their efforts upon
; preventing spread of the blaze,
the firemen soon had things un!:
der control. Although the pressi
ing club buildings were pretty
much of a wreck, some of the
, machinery was saved, together
.; with a number of garments that
jwere removed from a cabinet in
the front of the establishment
I following the fire.
in After Few
'aused By Freshets
over county, are now at
J Southport plying their trade
and are taking out large
numbers of parties composed
| of up-state sportsmen. Sunday
morning and evening
some twelve or fifteen parties
went out, despite the
fact that at that time the
fish were still objecting to
the muddy waters.
Fishing in the river off
j Fort Caswell has been good
and has resulted in many
fine strings of trout being
| brought in. For operations at
this point small boats serve
the purpose admirably. In
many cases the fishermen
simply row out from Southport
or use light outboard
motors.
All in all, the Southport
I fishing waters are giving
promise of affording fine
sport for nearly three months
more. At this time it
looks as if the number of
fishing parties will be several
times greater this year
i than ever before.
