and he is now completing his
second term of service under
Sheriff Jasper Russ.
Mr. Jimmie believes in kind- j nc

A group of citizens, most of i
them from the immediate com- 1
munity, met Monday night at the
Shallotte school to discuss with j
Dudley Bagley, member of the ?
3tate electrification authority, '
plans whereby electric power may *
be furnished that territory. ?
Facts and figures furnished by
Mr. Bagley led citizens to decide V
to contact one of the nearby | 1
power companies with reference
to running a line through the
section, which includes a fiftymile
stretch along U. S. Highway
Number 17. However, men Ri
attending the meeting made it
plain that if this plan does not
work out, another will be tried.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the following men were appointed
to serve on a committee
to thoroughly investigate all pos- iw<
sible sources of power before the, Pr
next meeting: R. D. White, A(
chairman, Dr. E. D. Bishop, Dr. c0

Representative R. E. Sentelle,

for re-election, is doing- some
real old-time campaigning.
There are great numbers
of fishing camps along the
coast of Brunswick county,
twenty or more men at each
camp and they are engaged
in an interesting and productive
life. Mr. Sentelle
concluded he would spend a
day with them and fortify
himself with an intimate personal
knowledge of their
work in order that he might
possibly do something to help
them when he goes to Raleigh
the first of the year.
He set off down the coast
one day recently, traveling
in a boat. From devious
routes a reporter has learned
that he passed through

Visited 8 of the shore fisheries
and talked to the men.
Partook of 3 big fish frys

HOEY DEFENDS RECORD
OF F. D. ROOSEVELT
Says That He Has Done
More Than AH Republican
Presidents Combined
To Help Farmer
and Little Man
Clyde R. Hoey, Democratic
nominee for governor of North
Carolina, was given a rousing reception
at Shallotte Tuesday
night by a large gathering of citizens
who filled the high school
auditorium to overflowing.
The gubernatorial nominee
made a spirited defense of the
policies of the national administration.
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt has done more for the
farmer, the laborer and other little
men than all the Republican
presidents together, he said.
Mr. Hoey made an interesting
comparison between the record of
of the state of Kansas under
Governor Alf M. Landon and
North Carolina under Governor
Ehringhaus. "If his record as
governor is basis for electing
Governor Landon President of the
United States, then ever>lr Demo-. ?
cratic Governor of North Carolina
deserved to be made president"
With reference to his own policy

Malaria Appears
In This County
County Nurse, Mrs. Lou H.
Smith, Urges Citizens To
Do Everything Possible
To Escape Bites Of Mosquitoes
Mrs. Lou H. Smith, Brunswick
county nurse, says that malaria
is prevalent in many sections of
Brunswick county at the present
time and warns everyone to avoid
subjecting themselves to the
bites of mosquitoes. When a patient
learns that he is suffering
from malaria, he should begin at
once taking quinine in sufficient
quantities to break the disease.
Three cases of chicken pox
have reeentlv been reported
among the colored residents of
the Supply community. At first
the patients feared that they
were suffering from small pox,
and many were vaccinated
against that disease.
