I PAGE TWO The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. I Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER, JR Editor (On Leave of Absence. In U. S. N. R.) I Entered as second-class matter April 20, 192S, at the Post Office at Southport. N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES U ONE YEAR : SI.50 I SIX MONTHS 1.00 I THREE MONTHS 75 I Wednesday, Starch 1. 1944 !! Colonel Chandlers Men If all of the men, or even a small percentage of those who engage in the Army maneuvers in Brunswick this . year, are as well deported as the men and officei-s of Colonel Chandlers command, Brunswick people will have their pride in the army greatly increased. I Colonel Chandler, a veteran of service in France during the first world war and for 20 years in the army, is a soldier from the ground up. Not only that, he is a courteous gentleman who takes pride in his men, their training and will, doubtless, take greater pride when they go into action. Without exception they reveal training in the rudiments of warfare and the same courtesy | and consideration that is found in their commander. Colonel. Major, Captains, Lieutenants and on down through the ranks of the men, it would be hard to find another several hundred men who are as typical of the American soldier as Colonel Chandler's command. Give Them The Limit Three negroes are dead, some twentyfive soldiers are still in or have just been discharged from the hospital where they were treated for injuries I they sustained Friday night when a car with an allegedly drunken driver at the wheel crashed into an army truck. The point is that drunken, raceless driving has again resulted in the snuffing out of lives. Regretting that and i other accidents that might have been j avoided will do no good. The one re reluct? in 11115 anw in wilier counties is for the law enforcement officials, especially the trial judges, to bear down to the limit on all speeders and those who are charged with drunken driving. When" an officer charged with making arrests looks the other way or a trial judge gets soft hearted the foundation is being laid for deaths on the highway. Our Hoys Are Somewhere Too Parts of Brunswick county will see a lot of soldiers for the next several months and probably for the duration of the war. One thing to keep in mind is that these fellows are being trained as rapidly as possible for overseas and actual combat duty. In many cases I companies of men will receive their fiH nal training in Brunswick county. With this fact in mind, we believe it I hardly necessary to mention to Brunsj wick people that the fine spirit that I prevails among inese service men should be met in kind. The boys have parents, brothers, sisters, friends at their homes. Most of the Brunswick people have loved ones of their own serving somewhere. !n remembrance of our own who are absent and in the hope that they are serving among friends, the least we can do is to show our friendship for the fellows who are now among us. The Spirit Commended We are again moved to commend the fine spirit that has been shown by land owners in Smithville and Town Creek townships. They are being extremely patriotic by uniting in their willingness for the Army to use their lands for maneuvers. The exact figures are not vailable at the moment but we understand that over 90 per cent of all land owners in the two townships have granted permission. This does not mean that the remaining small per cent are refusing. Far from it. Those who have not signed have simply not been contacted. A few could not be reached because of roads or owing to their being absent from home when the Army's representatives called. A few others are non-residents I and could not be reached immediately. I * It is a matter of gratification that of I those who have been contacted, not one has definitely refused to sign. It | looks very much as if the full area originally sought will be signed up and this paper thinks that the folks of the two townships deserve commendation for the wholehearted cooperation v ith | the Army. I \ North West Filling Up 1 While most sections of Brunswick ; have made splendid progress, especially ' in farming and general improvement, i, I during the past few years. North West |< ! Township has undoubtedly seen the ' j greatest population increase. That |j township has acquired so many new i I citizens that the tax collector can hard- )( j ly keep up with all of them. Many of these new residents, around j] I .-eland Navassa and the Brunswick if Bridge, are employed in Wilmington. ! But by far the largest number are iden- t titled with Brunswick county industries, c The Big fertilizer plants of Armour, Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, ' and F. S. Royster are all old standbys i at Navassa. More recently the Gulf [ States Creosoting Company has come < on the scene with a huge plant. The x I t Mir Tnint Pinp Gomnanv has also c made its appearance and near the ( Brunswick River Bridge Louis Hanson's t Chemical Company has added to the c industry. J Although all three of these last men- f tioned industries are engaged in essen- t tial production, none of them were war born. They had their beginnings as a J result of facilities and demand long before the war started and after the war is over it is safe to say that everything c will go on much the same as it has gone during war time. ( A Disease To Be Feared \ t A lot of worry and some loss has al- N ready resulted from the outbreak of | rabies among foxes in Brunswick conn- 4 ty, especially in North West and Town , Creek townships where most of the cas- J es have developed. As Mrs. Henry, postmistress at Winnabow, remarked, "It is beginning to look serious." This county has foxes by the thousands. It has often been claimed that they are thicker in Brunswick than in any other county in the state. The animals do a little good in the destruction of insets t!>at. injure crops. On the other hand they also do some damage by their destruction of birds, many of which are useful. The topography is extremely suited, with both cover and food, for the propagation of the ani- j mals and this accounts for their great numbers. Likewise, the disease already well started, there is 110 doubt that many !r * I p hundreds of them have been or will be ] bitten, will develop rabies and extend t the spread of the disease to dogs and a farm animals. At Winnabow one dog, cc bitten by a rabid fox, has already gone mad and been killed. A mule and cow, 0 recently bitten, have developed the di- t sease and had to be slaughtered. b A few years ago a colored man at b Winnabow was playing with a pet ^ puppy, which bit him slightly. The dog f bit a white man, J. C. Potter. The puppy was afterwards found to be mad J and Mr. Potter took the treatment. The colored man, however, thought his scratch was nothing. He failed to take the treatment, developed the disease f and died in the greatest agony. Dr. i Houston Moore, of Wilmington, who c came down to see this sufferer, describ- * ed it as one of the most terrible deaths. 8 n -C? _ i i it is no joKe iol- a nurnan Deing or am- 1 mal to be bitten, or even scratched by * anything affected with rabies. t In summing up the situation, it ap- * pears to be a wise thing to kill worth- J less stray dogs and cats; protect the valuable ones and also protect farm , stock. It is wise to guard against men, women and children being bitten by a fox, dog or cat, even though the animal does not seem to be mad. 1 t An ungallant official says he's glad t Mrs. Roosevelt isn't his wife. Perhaps ( she's glad too. ! l It's a tendency of the tongue to ex- l aggerate. It even makes a small cavity ] in the tooth feel large. i i He worked and saved and wore him- 1 self out. His reward is the finest gravestone in the cemetery. There are some who do not have sense enough to argue and some who ] have too much sense to do it. 1 : Simple Susie says she'll never marry for money. She might miss it and be , left with a man on her hands. THE STATE PORT PU The Roving Reporter (Continued From Page One) saw a group one half so interested as these soldiers. There was j no goldbricking, the interest was so evident that we had to remark on it to Colonel Chandler and Captain Mansfield. Colonel1 Chandler said the interest was j natural as the men understood that their very lives might at| some time depend on their pay-j Ing attention. They will all get an examination on that problem j in a few days. It was a mile from the demons-j tration field to camp, and there ivas just time to make it before, :how. Several hundred men formed in companies, each led by j afficers and marched down the j aighway in such perfect step that/ the paved road shook to their 11 tread, a fact we would*not have!' relieved, if we had not seen it. ; Perhaps the excessive rains of i the past several weeks, softening/ the roadbed underneath the pav-; | ng, had something to do with; he road shaking to the rhythm >f marching feet.

They Needed No Military Police Although several hundred soldiers were on leave in Southport from the maneuver camp. Monday afternoon and night, it is a noteworthy fact that not a single Military' Police was in evidence. Their absence was due to the fact that none were needed. The unit campaing on the edge of town is composed of one of the finest groups of officers and men that lias been in Southport in a long time. Examination For Bolivia Office The U. S.
