BENNETT, CLERK SUPERIOR COURT RESTING ON OUR OARS It is related that Napoleon, having read a glowing account from one of his generals telling of a great victory, wrote across the face of the report this question: "What did you do the next day?"? which is another way of saying that the grist from today's mill will not suffice for tomorrow's needs. The Seaboard Air Line Railway, along with other American railroads, has been credited with magnificent performance in the recent World War. But that record is now history. This is the "next day" and we are confronted with new opportunities and new responsibilities. In order to provide our patrons with the finest in transportation, the Seaboard Air Line Railway is intensifying its moderniza tion program, and very soon you will see gliding over Seaboard rails new streamlined trains with ultra-modern coaches and bigger and better motive power. These and other refinements will combine to make Seaboard travel the safest, most comfortable and irost luxurious ever enjoyed. Equally great improvements are in pros pect for our freight service. Modern equip ment, including more powerful and more efficient locomotives, will carry more freight on faster schedules, for the better service of the public. Rome was not built in a day, and it takes time to build giant locomotives, new cars and other things required in our improve ment program. The Seaboard Air Line Rail way, however, is known for its pioneering in such matters as air-conditioning, stream lined trains, diesel-electric motive power, etc., and you can count on us to continue "out in front" in the interests of our patrons and friends. Watch for future advertisements in this series in which we will discuss other sub jects of mutual interest to your business and ours.

Former Resident Dies In Raleigh Martin McCall Was Former Citizen Of Southport And Is Weil-Known Locally; Funeral Held Sunday Martin McCall. formerly of Southport and more recently of Raleigh, died at his home Sat urday. He was a native of Red Springs, in Robeson county, and at one time served Robeson in the lower house of the General Assembly. About nine years ago Mr. Mc Call was married to Mis.

Eastern Carolina Farmer Makes Success With Sausage !sS.".-^=! I Casc!?tnta Topping Of pantego, Ukc ' thousands of other men in Uns letate in 1937, was out of a jod, land the WPA was beckoning ! gently and patiently day after lay for him to join its ranks; One morning as he sat in th kitchen, head in hands, worrying SoCut where to go that day to search for work, the smell of the sausage which his wife was pre narinf for breakfast, gradually pushed the troubled thoughts of unemployment out of Scott Top ping's head. It wasnt a sud^" thing as he recalls now. but the sausage odor took hold of him somelfow and tugged him out of his chair and to a window where he could look down the highway in the direction of Belhaven, town which is much more noted i for its fine seafood products than for its country sausage. WAS AMATEUR After breakfast, Topping went to Belhaven and called on two or three of the merchants, \\ould they, he asked hopefully, be in terested, maybe, in buying a little sausage which he planned make in the old Beaufort County stvle They weren't too sure, but ! they decided to give Neighbor I Topping a try at it. Topping was managing to fa? : ten a few hogs from field scraps , he could pick up here and there so the next week he butchered on of the finest and called in one of his neighbors to assist him and his wife in converting it into sausage. But Topping, an ama teur sausage manufacturer, know ing little about how to make sau sage so as to turn a big profit, didn't prepare his sausage in the orthodox manner. He threw cau tion to the wind and did the al most unheard of thing of grind ing the shoulders and the rich, meaty hams into sausage, and he went rather heavily on the sea soning. He didn't spare the sage He wanted his first commercial sausage to taste like the sausage he used to eat when he was growing up. Well, the Belhaven people li terally ate it up-and called for more. Topping was quick to an swer the call. He found a little parttime employment, but the next week he turned another hog into sausage, and tried to make i just a little improvement in his product. For nearly two years he butchered one hog a week. At, that time, pigs were cheap and plentiful and the turnover in | cash was virtually instantaneous, and no large investment of money was necessary. INVADES WASHINGTON In 1939, Topping invaded near by Washington, N. C., with his sausage, and it proved as popular there as in Belhaven, for he con tinued using whole shoulders and hams, selling the other parts of the hog wherever he could. As a matter of fact, he has given away i hundreds of heads and feet to I his employees. The year that he began carrying his sausage to Washington, he built a little cool ing house and moved up to four and five hogs a week.

New Ship Basin To Help County Employment For Many Men May Mean Big De mand For Housing Along Upper River Road With the Brunswick River ship lay-in-basin now said to be one fourth completed, ships are sche duled to arrive for storage in 90 days. Some 500 surplus mer chant ships are scheduled to be stored and maintained. The basin lies all in Brunswick county. The North Carolina Ship building company .secured it through the U. S. Maritime com mission, as a part of the ship yard operations. However, the present indications are that the Maritime Commission may op erate the basin itself. Just how the shipyard will figure in the basin picture appears to be un certain. The task of looking after the i "Shoe Repairing Of The Better Kind" City Shoe Hospital j Whiteville, N. G. j ships will require the constant ' service of several hundred men. I It is expected that by reason of ! the experience gained at the ship i yard these men will be mostly | former employees of the yard. | Since the nearest point on the I basin outside of the eastern | marshland is five miles from Wil j mington, it is expected that the opeeration of the basin will create a heeavy demand for housing down the River Road, along which the basin extends for three miles or more. I QUARTET AT BOLIVIA I With the funds all to go to the Mt. Olive Baptist church, the Gospel Quartet is to appear in person at the Bolivia school on April 5th. The Melody Girls will also be present and some fine singing is assured all who at . tend. All who wish to aid the ! church and who love good music | are asked to come early.
