Election Case
Scheduled For
Trial In Court
Case Of Johnson Vs. Ward
Grows Out Of Dispute In
Returns Of November
General Election Which
Returned Ward Winner
CITIZENS OF COUNTY
GREATLY INTERESTED
One-Vote Margin Of Ward
Is Being Hotly Contested
By Johnson, With Serious
Charges Being
Brought
It has been a long time since
there was as much interest in a
term of civil court in Brunswick
county as there is in the session
which convenes here Monday
with Judge Q. K. Nimmicks, of
Fayetteville, presiding.
Attention is centered, of course,
in the hearing of Johnson vs.
Ward on matters growing out of
the general election last November.
John B. Ward was declared
winner by one vote in the contest
with D. R. Johnson for the office
of judge of Recorder's court. Neither
the loser nor members of
ims party (xtepuoncan; were satisfied
with this result, and much
litigation developed in subsequent
hearings before the Brunswick
County Election Board.
As the hearings progressed, the
charges and counter-charges grew
more serious, with the result that
almost all kinds of election fraud
arc recited in the bill of particulars
and in the answer.
Representing the plaintiff in
this matter will be Alton Lcnnon
and Louis Goodman, Wilmington
attorneys. For the defendant,
Osmer Henry, of the Lumberton
ferm of Varsar, Mclntyre and
Henry, will appear.
There are a few other cases
on the calendar, as may appear
elsewhere in the advertising section
of today's paper, but it is a
safe bet that most of the court's
time will be consumed in the trial
of the election case.

Informs Wife 1

By listening to a short-wave
German radio broadcast, Elisha
Sellers, Jr., of 617 Princes St.,
Wilmington, formerly of Southport,
has made the wife of a
captured American airman happy,
according to a letter he received
from her during the past

She is Mrs. Lucy Fricdrich,
of Milwaukee, Wis., and her
husband is Staff Sergeant A. J.
Friedrich, who was forced down
recently in a flight over Germany
and later reported as
'missing in action" in a message
from the War department.
Last week Sergeant Friedrich
was among a group of
American prisoners who broadcast
over a Berlin radio station.
He gave his name and American
address and asked all who
heard him to write his wife and
tell her he was safe and well.
After hearing the program,

Great Caution
Urged For Men
Doing Burning
This Is Season For Brush
Burning And Is Also Season
Of Great Hazard In
Life Of Forest Wardens
On Duty
LAND OWNERS ARE
ASKED TO COOPERATE
There Is No Fooling About
This Control This Year
And F.B.I. Agents To
Investigate Cause Of
Some Fires
Farmers clearing land for new
ground, or otherwise burning
brush in connection with spring
planting, were urged to use extreme
care to prevent forest fires,
as County Forest Warden D. L.
Mercer this week appealed to
land owners to cooperate with
County state and Federal protection
agencies in reducing the
number of forest fires resulting
from carelessness.
According to Forest Service officials
a large number of destructive
forest fires have already occurred
this spring as a result of
careless brush burning. In addition
to destroying timber, farm
homes and equipment, the smoke
from these fires have slowed aviation
and artillery training programs.
Valuable hours of manpower
have been lost in controlling
fires, where fire crews were
drawn from military campB and
war industries.
As a result of the seriousness
of this situation F. B. I. Agents
and military autnoriues are investigating
a number of these
fires, and federal charges will be
instigated under the sabotage
act. Officials pointed out that the
' destruction of war vital timber
or endangering of military cstab,
lishments will be classed as
i sabotage where the fire results
1 from either carelessness or malicious
intent. A reasonable amount
of care will eliminate these
fires, Mercer emphasized.
Brush should be burned only
on windless days ? stacks of
brush should be kept small. Before
burning a fire line should be
plowed or raked around the area
burned, plenty of help with tools
to control any spot fires should
be available. Last, but not least,
the ashes should be kept wet down
to prevent sparks from blowing
the ashes after the workers leave
the field.

It was her first word about

She was overjoyed to learn

well "though he is a prisoner
of war."
Her letter to Sellers follows:
"I wish to thank you for your
kind letter telling me about my
husband, Andrew, and try to
tell you how deeply I appreciate
your courtesy in forwarding this
information to me.
"I have had a wire from the

Billy Bragaw Is Making Int<
Birds In This Localit;
Largely through the activities
of Cadet Billy Bragaw,
who is in training for the Navy
Air Force and who has been at
home for several days awaiting
orders, much valuable knowledge
relative to bird life has
been unearthed here during the
past week.
Young Bragaw, a State College
student before entering the
service, is a nature lover, and
is thoroughly familiar with
birds. During his stay at home d
he and Douglas Jones, local
Eagle Scout, have been locating
various members of the feathered
tribe and reporting their discovery
to W. B. Keziah, who in
turn reports the finds to C. S.
Brimley, one of the authors of
"Birds of North Carolina." Mr.
Brimley is connected with the
State Museum in Raleigh.
Mr. Keziah has had several
communications from Mr. Brimley
during the past few days,
expressing interest in the various
reports, and asking for reports
on still other birds.
Of special interest has been
the presence of approximately a
hundred American Egrets, already
arrived at the rookery on
Battery Island and with their
nesting progressed to the point

Stabalization Of
Price For Sweet
Potatoes Planned
This Is Being Done In Effort
To Encourage Farmers
To Produce Food
Crops During 1943 Sea- ,
son
PRICES WILL BE
SET BY SEASON
Arrangements For Distribution
Will Be Handled By
Government Agency,
Says Bennett
In an effort to assist growers
in meeting the 1943 production
goal, prices at which sweet potatoes
will be supported for Brunswick
county growers have been
announced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, according to
C. O. Bennett, chairman of the
County AAA Committee. The
prices, applicable only to the law
crop, range from $1.15 to $1.45
per bushel, depending on seasonal
differences.
The 1943 national sweet potato
goal recently was increased 32
per cent over the earlier goal.
The goal for Brunswick county Is
1,808 acres.
Prices will be supported through
purchases by the Food Production
Administration at $1.15 per bushel
during the harvesting season from
August through November; at
$1.30 per bushel in December and
January; and at $1.45 per bushel
during February, March, and
April, Chairman Bennett said.
Those prices apply to sweet potatoes
grading U. S. No. 1 and
packed in either bushel crates,
baskets, or hampers. U. S. No. 2
potatoes containing 75 per cent
or more of U. S. No. 1 quality
will be supported at 15 cents per
bushel below the prices for U. S.
No. l's.
When a purchase program is
started in any area, Mr. Bennett
said, arrangements will be made
by the Food Distribution Administration
to purchase the sweet
potatoes from growers at the
scheduled support prices. Potatoes
offered must be in standard containers,
either new or secondhand,
but most be durable and
clean. Purchases will be made
only in carload lots, but any number
of growers may pool their
potatoes to make up a car. All
carlots offered must be inspected
by Federal-State inspectors at
the expense of the sellers. Loading
places and time of loading
will be designated by County
USDA War Boards and purchase
agents or tne hua.
Chairman Bennett said potatoes
also will be purchased in 50 pound
sacks, but at a discount of 10
cents below the designated bushel
prices. This differential takes
into consideration the lighter
weight of the packed sacks and
the lower packing costs.
The seasonal prices spreads
should assure orderly marketing
of sweet potatoes throughout the
marketing season, officials say,
and the announced prices will
apply to any variety in any state
which has an established goal for
sweet potatoes.
