August 24, 1938 Patience is what keeps^a^man^on^ari even keel when the going is rough. True charity is sharing with the less fortunate, some of the things that you really need to keep for yourself. When we see a couple that is too loviedovie in public we nave a feeling that the fighting is done at home. Advice should be like a recipe; it should be tried before being passed on. The man who tries to be funny all of the time soon loses his effect, for then * 1 -1 _-? ne nas no cnauge ui pate. There wouldn't be so much intolerance in the world if there were not so much ignorance. We always had our own opinion about the kid who said that we wished school would hurry and open. About the only chance some farmers have to enjoy the proceeds from a good tobacco saie is during the trip from the warehouse to the office of his time merchant. School Safety Some of the most horrible fires in American history have occurred in schools. And, unless remedial steps are taken, there is grave danger that some of the most horrible fires of the future will strike in the same place. Surveys have shown that thousands of American school buildings are fire traps. And this doesn't simply refer to old, frame structures. That beautiful new brick edifice, built last year at a cost of a quarter - million dollars, may look safe as a storm cellar outside?and still contain fire hazards of the worst type. Inadequate exits, doors that open inward instead of outward, improperly designed stair wells, narrow hallways down which children must pass?these are just a few of the dangers that exist in many of our schools. Amateur inspections usually fail to detect them. School safety is experts' work. The National Board of Fire "Underwriters has prepared an illustrated booklet entitled, "Construction of School Buildings and Existing Structures," which will be sent on request of the proper authorities. The Board has also issued a school inspection blank, which has been used in more than 1,500 communities. Use of this blank makes it possible for school boards to thoroughly inspect a structure, and ferret out possible hazards. Don't take it for granted that the schools your children attend are safe. Every parent should demand that school boards make expert inspections a period i i .in i i. i i Iic auiy?ana mat every nazara, no matter how unimportant it may seem, to be immAliately corrected. That is the only 100 per cent insurance we can have against one of the most horrible human disa^ers. The Weather Relents For a town that was all set to enjoy seasonal prosperity this summer Southport received about the worst deal from the weatherman we ever saw. Early in May fishing parties began to show up, and early season luck was good enough to make the visiting sportsmen want to return. News of Southport and the fine fishing to be had here spread, and one week-end saw the town flooded with visitors that could not be accommodated. Unfortunately, that was one of the first days of the season when it was impossible for fishing boats to make their way outside in safety and comfort, and a large group of fishermen returned home disappointed. This was just a beginning, for throughout the summer months the ijk. t weather was thoroughly undependable. Following the full moon of this month, though,, the weather has taken an encouraging turn for the better and the parses that have flocked here for fishing ' have been more than gratifying to the people who had been disappointed most of the summer. The month of September usually brings 1 the best fishing of the season, so the in- J flux of sportsmen should continue for i several weeks to come. , Good Farmers 5 During the past week in riding through ' the rural Sections of Brunswick county , we have seen several farmers busy cut- ' ting tobacco stalks. Soon these men will have their land disked and plowed and a j winter cover crop will be sowed. i These are unmistakable signs of a progressive farmer?a man who always is a step ahead in looking after his farm work. He does not look at his land as something from which a living is to be drained. Experience has taught him that you get out of the soil just what you put into it, and he appreciates the value of Vno "pQ V*m lflTlH IlUuriMiiiig a uu cmiviung ******* Something Wrong Newspaper dispatches from Durham tell one of the most heart-rending stories which has ever been written in the annals of North Carolina crime history. They tell of a man, 11 days out of the inebriate ward of a State institution, plowing through a group of 15 bystanders on the side of the road a mile east of Durham, killing three and injuring several others. One of the victims was an innocent little three-year-old girl, another an old J woman. The man who committed the act is being held on three manslaughter counts. i There must be something radically 1 wrong in North Carolina when a maniac, c admittedly drunk, such as that driver, s can get control of an instrument of death 1 in such a fashion. t Don't Like It ^ Georgians undoubtedly won't like Pres- ^ ident Roosevelt's uninvited entrance into ^ their local senatorial race, in which Laurence Camp seeks to unseat the veteran statesman, Senator Walter F. George. President Roosevelt's denunciation of Senator George as a "non-New Dealer" at Bamesville, and his endorsement of Camp, of course, is merely a part of his vannto /-I "nil *vra" nf +Vin PnnrfVODti tVi ana 1 UltU I'UI^C VI tltv V-M VI II1UOC who are not in complete alignment with New Deal policies. Nevertheless people of Georgia and people of other States of the Union are entitled to think and act as their consciences dictate, and we believe that when the voles have been counted, that Senator George will find that he's still a popular man in his native State. Speaking Of Relief We see by the papers that a negro taxi driver, who was unable to work for a time because of illness, obtained $50.00 from a government relief agency to tide him over. Nothing unusual about that. But here is the part that seems difficult to believe in this age of "grab and growl" When he was able to return to work he tried to pay back the government subsidy, saying "that was the way I was raised? and that's the way I'm raising my child." There is a moral in this case of which a great many other Americans might well take cognizance. One of the most ominous portents on the social horizon today is the fact that thousands of people have apparently come to look on relief as a "profession." one of the most deplorable conditions under the present government is the refusal of many relief-fed people to accept a job and earn an honest living so long as they are drawing government checks. Many tobacco farmers in this county have rightly complained that they could not obtain laborers to help harvest their tobacco because of the relief checks which enabled the irresponsible group to sit at home with their feet crossed over 1 the bannisters. 5 Far be it from this paper to criticize those people who have turned to relief only as a last resort, and are eager to get off the rolls as soon as opportunity affords. Nor do we criticize the idea of relief: the hpngry must be fed, the homeless sheltered and the naked clothed. But it does frown on those people who view the government as an eternal Santa Claus who enables them to live without seeking employment. STATE P01 Just Among The Fishermen Leland Day Here Skipper Leland Day, of More-' liead City, arrived Friday aboard a blue fish boat that he had turned Into a cargo craft for the trip. In addition to the regular blue fish net the boat brought in a mile or more of shore nets for mullets. It Is understood that Captain Day will employ mostly local crews for these shore nets, If the men can be had. His two big 50-foot sport boats will arrive in a day or two. They have been carrying out Gulf Stream fishing parties at Morehead City when the weather would permit this summer. One day the Day boats caught 50 dolphine, amberjack and tuna. The barracuda's, so well known here, are not found at Morehead, according to Captain Day. Many S. C. Folks In addition to the sportsmen from North Carolina and other states, Saturday brought a large number of South Carolina men and women to go out on various boats for the trout, blues and mackerel. Among those South Carolina folks contacted were, Dr. William Simpson, Frank S. Barnes, Frank S. Barnes, Jr., John and Edward Barnes and William Milling, all of Rock Hill. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Royall, Miss Anne Royall, Phillip Reece McCowan and Billy Royall, Florence. E. C. Jackson, Spartanburg; James Harrell, Hartsville; Mrs. M. D. Lucas, Mrs. H. W. Winslow, Mrs. B. A. Wilson, Horace and Ben A. Williamson and Marion D. Lucas, Jr., Florence. The above represented just the one days gathering of South Carolinaians. Many others from various points were here at different times during the week. River Fishing Beginning Many of the younger boys have >een bringing in nice strings of rout, croakers, mullets and pig ish at the end of fishing trips >ut on the river and its bays. In lome instances large catches were nade. The river fishing will be ine from now through Novem>er Periods near the full moon ire especially productive of relults. Practically all of this river 'ishing is done from row boats or ither small craft, some powered vith small engines and others vith outboards. Fine Weather Continues The fine weather that came in with the full moon on the 11th of this month has continued steadily with the boats able to go out on all occasions. Except for a day now and then only fair catches were made it has been the general rule for parties to bring in many fish. Of course, records cannot be broken every day. Still, it must be admitted that many parties have brought in exceptionally fine catches. It is expected that the big rush of fishermen will continue for three or four months. The September and October fishing should be much better than any we have had this year. Some Nice Shrimp Catches of shrimp during the last several days have been rathir mixed as to size. Some of the iroduct has been small. On the >ther hand there has been a con-' liderable amount of extra large ind firm shrimp taken. The quaity of the entire take is improvng daily, as is the amount of the iroduction. All reports indicate hat a huge trawling fleet will )e in operation here very shortly, ind there has not been anything :o indicate that the shrimp will lot be found in the usual large lumbers. Channel Bass Biting Channel Bass are biting better day by day In the river and tributary streams. Except on the beaches where surf casting for the big fel- ; lows is the vogue, the general custom is to take these fish with cane poles and cork lines. These channel bass, or ; drum, do not waste any time fooling about your bait. When they bite your cork goes under without any prelimary | warning. There is a lot of kick to be had from the fight that these two and three | pound fellows put up on the j pole and line. Shrimp is the favorite bait; in fact it is I about the only bait that the ! fish are inclined to notice. LARGE NEW BOAT 34 ! The Queen of Southport, a new j 3 foot sport and commercial fish- I ng boat, was launched Thurs- I lay by her builder and owner, 1 I. B. Gilliken, of Southport.
