For Brunswick
Best In Years j
If nature continues her generous
treatment of farmers
in this section it appears now
that Brunswick county crops
this year will be the best In
many seasons.
YVrcnt Mintz said Monday
that he believed there was
one-third more tobacco and
corn in Waccamaw township
this year than there ever had
been before. The tobacco crop,
in his opinion, will be the
best ever produced in that
section of Brunswick.
... John J$nriite prominent
farmer of Longwood. was in
town Tuesday and had about
the same thing to say with
regard to crops in his home
community. His neighbor,
Willie Ganus, was housing tobacco
that same day.
From this end of the county
there came the word of
K. M. Lancaster Tuesday
that tobacco and cotton crops
were the best in years, backed
up by fine general crops.

"All reports to the con'

said Mrs. Lou H. Smith, Cor
morning.
"It had been reported to me,
that there was a case in the'
colored section at Dark Branch,1
near Southport, and I went, up
Sunday to make an investigation.
I discovered that James Edward
Brewington, 19-year-old colored j
boy, had been carried to Wilming-1
ton to the hospital with what was
believed to be poiiomylitis. Check-1
ing with doctors in Wilmington.
I discovered that this boy was,
suffering from spinal meningitis,"
the health nurse continued.
This is the second false report
that has been more or less widely
circulated regarding the appearance
of infantile paralysis in
Brunswick county within the past
three weeks. The fact that this
county adjoins South Carolina
probably is responsible for local
willingness to believe that this
diesease has made its appearance
in Brunswick.
Mrs. Smith says that there is
no use to get panicky over the
possibility of having infantile par
alysis appear in this county, but
she advises against carrying children
into large crowds, especially
when these crowds contain representatives
from many different
sections.

Big Catch <
A catch of 11 fighting barracuda,

3 big amberjacks by four
men in four hours is pretty
good fishing on any man's
coast, so it follows that the
prizes brought in Friday by

than usual interest.
The sportsmen were E. H.

Friday morning, bound for
j the Gulf Stream, 35 miles off
Southport. At 11 o'clock that

halt to fishing and set out |
for home.
It is no easy job to be j

Cooperating In
Friendly Week
Idea Of Making This Week

With Mayor Ben
Douglas, Of Charlotte,

Out
GOVERNOR HOEV
MAKES PROCLAMATION
Asks That Special Effort
Be Made During This
Week By Citizens To
Be Even More Hospitable
Mayor John D. Eriksen has informed
Mayor Ben Douglas of
Charlotte that he and the people
of Southport will do all in their
power to cooperate in making his
idea of Friendly Week a' success
in this section.
In making this a statewide program
Governor Clyde R. Hoey
has issued the following pro
clamation:
"Hon. Ben E. Douglas, the Mayor
of Charlotte, has promoted the
observance of the week from
June 18th to 24th inclusive, as
Friendly Week in the Friendly
Carolinas.
"Under the leadership of Mayor
Douglas the active cooperation
has been secured of the Mayors
and officials of the 238 cities in
the Carolinas, and there is every
assurance of a genuine and enthusiastic
response on the part of
the people generally.
"There are many ways the people
of the State can join in the
observance of this week and accomplish
real results in developing
a friendly attitude among all
classes and a sincere purpose and
mind to he friendly.
"The value of a friendly manner
and disposition cannot be
overestimated. Friendly people are
always welcome. They carry sunshine
and good cheer and friendliness
at once becomes contagious
and a whole community is
benefited. The plan is to so extend
and emphaize the spirit of
friendliness that It will become
an outstanding characteristic of
the people of the Carolinas.
"Friendship and its fine fruits
may well be the subject of editorials,
sermons and addresses, and
it would be especially appropriate
during this special week for
the churches, civic clubs, newspapers,
radio stations and other
worthwhile organizations to give
proper emphasis to this important
matter.

the Mayors and officials of many

A few alterations in several
routes is made necessary each

work to see that the greatest

pounds each; the amberjack
were from five to twenty;
the dolphin were not so large,
they averaged somewhere between
three and four pounds.
All together, the big catch
brought in and as many more
that got away, provided plenty
of arm breaking labor.
A great many big fish of
various sorts were lost by
breaking tackle. Others, large
and small, managed to throw
off the hook before they could
be brought to gaff. It was
an exciting time from start
to finish, this first trip to
the gulf stream for the year.
The barracuda have been
out around Frying Pan lightship
since April 20. The crew
of the ship reported them at
that time and stated that a
number had bene speared by
sailors from the deck of the
craft. They said the fish were
numerous ar.d the catch made
