Fourteen men comprised lasl
year's gathering- This year the
number may run to 20 or more

said that he was rounding up e
most outstanding bunch of out
door and hunting and fishing
editors.
In addition to the writers, i'
is expected to have one or more
news reel companies representee
with their movie cameras. Anc
there will, of course, be pres.1
cameras in abundance. No
definite plans have beer
made yet regarding where the
men will be quartered. In his let
ter President Brown asked thai
rates be secured on rooms anc
meals at Fort Caswell and alsc
at Long Beach, also what acc'onv
modations might be available al
Southport. This data is being
gathered up by the Chamber ol
Commerce and mailed him this

Civil Cases; A Calender
Appears Elsewhere
Judge Walter J. Bone, of Nashville,
will preside over a two
weeks term of Brunswick county
Superior Court, the first week of
which- convenes here on Monday
morning.
A second week of court will be
devoted to trial of civil actions,
a complete court calendar covering
this business being printed
elsewhere in today's paper.
Among the criminal action
scheduled for trial chief interest
is centered in the appeal of D.
E. Tripp from a sentence of 18months
on the roads given him
in Recorder's Court. Harris Gore'
will be tried in connection with
the same case which grew out
of an altercation between peace
officers at Shallotte Point several
weeks ago.
The trial of elusive Edgar Henderson
should also create some
interest, if for no other reason'
than speculation as to whether
he will be available at the time.
