I The 18 inch long ground rattle snake, captured here three weeks ago by Douglas Jones, was officially photographed and given permanent quarters in a cage at the State Museum in Raleigh, this past week. The reptile was full grown, despite that it was only 18 inches in length. It was wearing four rattles and a button, the rattles being little larger than a goo dsized pin head. While the ground rattler's are small, they are just as deadly and just as ready to use their deadlines as the diamond backs, largest rattlers *lhat we have in this state. On account of their small size and quickness the ground rattlers are possibly more dangerous than the diamond backs. TREATMENT Mrs. A. D.

The OPA said that after j through study of a request made : August 25 by delegations from j Virginia, North Carolina and I South Carolina, it was decided ,"No increase could be granted | from the present weighted average price of 41 cents a pound." The growers had urged a boost of at least four cents a pound) contending that production costs had increased tremendously since last year.

Burney, resident judge of e this district presiding. Clerk of Court Sam T. Bennett states that there are not enough cases for the full two weeks and the jury has ? only been summoned for one ' week. Judge Burney will remain ? over for part of the second week to hold hearings. j Only ten criminal cases are scheduled to be heard, most of j these are of a trial nature. The j most serious is an manslaughter c indictment against a shipyard bus driver. This case grows out of the _ killing of a youth named Inman by one of the big Maritime Com- 1 mission buses. I According to the clerk, an unusual feature of the term is the 14 divorce cases that are to come up. This is an unusually large number for Brunswick county. ' Both colored and white couples ~ are among those seeking relief Jrom their marriage bonds. The civil cases to be heard are typical of the usual run of such :ases, making their appearance ,n superior court in this county. Clerk of Court Bennett says that the docket has nothing of any especial interest. Officers In Raid Capture A Child Fourteen Year Old White Youth Found At Still By Raiding Officers In Waccamaw Township, Hearing Next Monday A fourteen year old white boy, Will Inman, Jr., of Waccamaw township, was brought here for trial on a charge of manufacturing liquor Monday. He was perhaps the youngest such offender who has ever been held to answer " />V?o?.<va i n Prnnounrl/ LU >3UU1 CL Uliai5C 111 U1U1IU??1V? county. Owing to his age the charge could not be tried in the regular channels of the Recorder's court and the boy was liberated under a two hundred dollar bond for his appearance before Sam T. Bennett, Judge of the Juvenille court, next Monday. The arrest was-made by Rural Policeman W. D. Evans, who was assisted by David Ross. The boy was found at a 40-gallon copper still that was all in readiness for operations. With the still and boy the officers got nine gallons of finished liquor and destroyed sixty gallons of mash. Discussing the case with a rep- I resentative of this paper, Rural I Policeman Evans expressed the opinion that the boy was employed by older persons to assist at the still, and that he was not the actual owner and operator. The , real operators, he thought, got away. However, the fact that the boy may not be the actual operator does not lessen the charge against him of manufacturing liquor. f< Mrs.AmeliaSwain Dies Here Sunday j Well Known Resident Of Southport, Passes In Her Sixty-Fifth Year Following A Long Period Of Illness Following a long illness, Mrs. Amelia S.

They were cutting gras: from the shoulder of one of th< company roads for the purpose of reducing the fire hazard. At a point well inside the Green Swamp they paused t< take a drink. They were getting a brief rest when a huge blacl bear ambled out of the wood! and started to investigate them especially the tractor. The boys hastily climbec aboard the tractor and movec off. The moving off apparently increased the interest and euro' sity of the bear. It put on speec and playfully gamboled arounc the roaring machine and click' ing mower. Now and then il inauu CL piaiui ai <JIIC UJ the other of the machines with its paws. For more than a mile the animal kept up with the stead' ily moving machines. Dempsej related how he never before hoped so devotedly that the tractor wouldn't break dowr or that the mowing machine wouldn't snag itself on a stump or tree. K was a relief to both of them when the bear finallj decided it had done enough investigation and turned off intc the swamp. )r. T. G.

The Marketing Committee of the Unit- ? < ed States Tobacco Association ' stated that this action was taken , because of the critical labor sit- 4 uation that now exists in he factories which makes it impossible for them to handle the crop as rapidly as it now being marketed. It is not anticipated that this change will in any way affect the selling price of the crop.

'Growers should take advantage of this change and save other crops and prepare for fall seeding for small grains." Members of the governor's special committee on tobacco marketing are as follows: W.
