Wide Range In
Daily Temperature
Indian summer weather enjoyed
by Brunswick county
residents during the past few
days has offered a wide range
of temperature each day.
Although no killing frost
has been reported from any
section of the county, the official
weather bureau reading
has been down to 42-dcgrees
on at least two mornings.
But, before arriving at the
conclusion that this chilly
dawn heralded a cold day, a
look at the weather chart
shows that on two of these
days the mercury has touched
the 80-degree mark.
Truly there is something to
the old adage "As changeable
as the weather."
More Good Pictures
Made Here Saturday
Bill Baker, well known Dur-1
hf m photographer and free lance J
newspaper writer, was here Sat-1
urday on assignment to get pic- j
tures of several subjects in and I
near Southport. He will return j
shortly for more extensive work.
Charles A. Ferrell, of Greensboro,
recently here for four days with,
the Civic Club secretary writes I
he may shortly be back for further
photographic work. Mrs. Ferrell
will accompany him.
Boats Range tar .1
After The Shrimp
With shrimp running thickly off
Little River. S. C., local boats,
especially those of the Wells Brothers,
have been ranging far and j
bringing in better catches than:
that produced by the great mass
of boats working directly off
Southport.
On one of these long trips last
week the Captain Wells brought
in 85 bushels and its sister ship
had 70 bushels. For the past few
days the boats have been unloading
down the coast and the
shrimp brought here for cleaning, j
packing and icing.
So There Must
Somethinj
It is a small world and
things sometimes move queerly
to demonstrate the fact
to the satisfaction of everybody.
Early last week Frank Murphy,
paddling a small canoe
from New York to Florida,
put up at Southport as one
of the stops on his trip. He j
was interviewed by a representative
of this paper and a
short story was obtained of
his trip down the coast.
He narrated how his worse
experience occurred in the
Delaware Breakwater where
his canoe was overturned in
rough weather and he had to
swim a long distance to
shore. The canoe drifted
away and was recovered and
returned by the coast guard j
four days after it was lost.
The representative of The
Pilot neglected to get the
New York or any other address
of Murphy. This Was
desired in order to do him
the small courtesy of sending
him a copy of the paper that j

A compromise agreement was

The meeting was attended by

who operate in Southport. This
group included S. I. Burris, Bill

The strike resulted when local

which was paid the first of last

Thursday night, however, a price
