Monday
As a result of action taken
several weeks ago by the Board
of County Commissioners in refusing
to accept the sum of $1,000.00
tendered as compromise
payment of the taxes of the W.
B. & S. Railroad. Brunswick county
is getting $10,800.00 in full
settlement of both current and
delinquent taxes of the said .railroad.
Before the sale of the railroad,
at a time when its affairs appeared
in very bad shape, the offer
was made to settle the taxes. The
board of commissioners refused
the offer, feeling it would be an
unsatisfactory settlement. The
road was later sold by the receiver
and brought an unexpectedly
large sum, the county as a preferred
creditor, is receiving the
full amount of the indebtedness,
aneat little sum of $9,800.00 more
than what was offered.
An effort was also made to collect
on some after listed railroad
property. Delinquent and current
taxes on this after listed property
have piled up the sum of $3,200.[
00. This bill was not allowed, as
, the matter was discovered and
presented too late.
At their meeting here Monday
the board of commissioners handled
many real estate matters
involving taxes. Adjustments were
made in various cases. The W.
B. Andrews estate was ordered
foreclosed on for taxes. 200 acres
of this estate has had no taxes
paid for five years, on the remaining
200 acres the taxes are up to
date. D. H. Andrews of Parkton,
is in charge of the property.
John Calvin Gore and wile were
: allowed to purchase the Joseph
| Gore estate lands by paying taxes
and costs.
The E. V. Harrelson estate,
' owned by the county, was rented
to George Finnell for the sum of
$115.00 per year.

In court, Monday, she entered
a plea of guilty. The fine
was $20.00 and costs. It developed
that she had only $23.50
and that the fine and costs
went to nearly $30.00. By this
time E. R. Outlaw, a spectator
in court, came forward with a
donation to help pay the fine of
the total stranger, others in the
courtroom were doing likewise.
Lieut. S. B. Frink, of the Coast
Guard, also a spectator, got up
and spoke in her behalf. The
officer who had arrested the
lady had previously quietly asked
several people to do what
they could to help the stranger
out of her predictmqjlt.
Judge Ward did what probably
everybody in the court
room wished him to do. He remitted
the fine and costs. In
doing this he was merefy acting
in accord with public sentiment.

"There was a good meeting
at Winnabow one night the past
week with ten Neighborhood
leaders in attendance."
The above is quoting County
Agent J. E. Dodson. The dozen
and a half words apparently
constituted the whole story.
Yet, there was something
lacking. The term "Neighborhood
Leaders" had an intriguing
sound. Those to whom Dodson
was speaking had heard
this or that person spoken of
as a neighborhood leader, but
there was no recollection of ever
having known the term used
collectively, until the county
agent used it.
"What's this Neighborhood
Leader business, anyway" The
agent was asked.
"Oh," he said, "don't you
know? We have the whole of
Brunswick County portioned off
into well defined neighborhoods,
54 in all, looked after by 168
Neighborhood Leaders. We have
a pretty good coverage among
both white and colored people.
In fact, it is the best organization
in the county.

A real live subject of interest da
among the patrons of the post offices
at Supply and Shallote is t0
the possibility of improved mail
service with the opening of the
passenger and freight line between ..
Whiteville and Southport. Naturally,
the patrons of the Ash an
and Southport postoffices are also
interested and a good guess is
that Whiteville residents feel the J
mc
same way. g
Both Shallotte and Supply have
notoriously bad mail service. For
instance, morning mail from
I Sputhport goes through Supply ?
| and on to Bolivia, where it re
mains for some time Deiore
doubling back to Supply. The mail _
for Shallotte also has to follow
the same route.
Mail from Southport to anywhere
in Waccamaw township
has to go to Wilmington and
Whiteville. From the latter place
it is brought on to Ash by a Star
Route. At Ash Two rural
1 routes pick up most of it
and get it around. The same
thing applies to mail from Ash
to Supply, Southport and Shal- i
lottc. Shallotte and Ash post of- Ba
fices are separated by only a Co
few miles but it takes from a day an
to a day and a half for mail to mi
go between the two points.
