Rovin' Reporter i Continued from uagc l) livia we found Bill Kopp fixing to set out for Wilmington. Know ing we were Leland bound, he asked us to get in and ride. We got in, and a couple of miles above Bolivia we were passing a new seven-room brick residence in course of constiuction. Natural ly. we asked Bill who was build ing that home and the reply was very much to the point when he Mid it was his. A lot of other people ate building homes all along this and other toads i Ralph Clemmon,' of the Antio-.h community, was telling us this week of a big load of tobacco he carried to Whiteville and for which he received very pleasing returns. He averaged $63. 06 per hundred pounds. Mr. Clenimons has some fine Lockwoods Folly riverfront property and tells us that he plans to sub-divide it in the near future and put in on the market for building lots. This month this reporter for the State Port Pilot is giving a full year's subscription as a sort of gestuie of appreciation of the friendly co-operative spirit of the folks in Brunswick. The sub scription went to Clarence Mont-' gomery. who is in business near the Brunswick river bridge. Mr. Montgomery. however, already takes the paper and he asked j that the gift copy be sent to Mrs. J Ethel Hines in Wilmington. ' Recently P. H. Patterson, of Concord, came to Brunswick county on a visit and was so im- ! p:e'3Sed with general conditions that he decided to locate here, with his family. He has pur chased ten-acres of land on the Caswell Road from D. H. Smith, ' realtor, and is now setting about j the construction of a five room dwelling of concrete blocks. He plans to devote his whole acreage to pecan, figs and possibly other fruit crops. For his immediate 1 efforts he will be engaged in the manufacture of concrete blocks, j at which he has broil working ! for many yeais. R. A. Williams, of the Powell's ! Cafe and cabins -at the Brunswick I river bridge, tells us that rains in the upper part of the county j duiing the past seveial days have; apparently been bad on beach business. Almost nightly, he' said, the several cabins which he op erates have been filled with beach-bound folks who decided to stop over, owing to the rains. Having stopped, they usually turn back home next morning. Mr. Williams, who is in contact with j a big flow of tourist and other ' tiavel. brought up the very live! subject of the need of a hotel at i Southport. In his opinion a 100- 1 room hotel here would stay fill ed up. in addition to attracting > more hotels. Without being on to all of the! angles embraced in the plans of the Reigel Paper Company to ! raise cattle on its many thousands of acres of land in Brunswick ! county, it can be said offhand j that the company may be start ing something of great future j value to development. Supple- j menting the native, grasses that j grow in the Green Swamp and other sections of Brunswick, only a moderate amount of feed will be necessary to produce fine beef j cattle. We recall that a few I years ago Joel Moore, pf South poit, kept nearly 100 head of cows on pasture at Walden's Creek for twelve months of the year. Outside of salting them they required little care or at tention. Making the fourth person to I bring the matter up that day, Dr. R. H. Holden of Holden's Beach I at Supply, asked us Friday why ! folks here did not get together and build that badly needed hotel. From remarks that Dr. Holden has let drop this summer, and also from interviews with parties interested in other Brunswick county beaches, one is led to be lieve there will be several built and in operation along the coast of Brunswick by the time another i summer season opens. Mrs. Guy Culpepper of Shal- 1 lotte will be given free admission I # '? NOW, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE J THE ARMY HAS A * 'I GOOD JOB FOR YOU!

Lobby Every Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m I to any show at the Shalfotte Theatre this week by presenting 1 a copy of The Pilot at the ticket office. At Scuthport Manager B. L. Furpless will also be pleased to admit Mrs. Ernest Vitou to a show under the same 'arrange ments. "The State Poit Pilot is build ing up good will in Waecamaw township at an amazing rate, even if you don't get down to see us often." The above falter ing remarks were made at Shal lotte Saturday by J. B. Babson of the Kingtown section of Wac caniaw. Thanks, very much. Since we work on the said paper we are naturally pleased that folks all over Brunswick oie saying something pretty much like what Mr. Babson said. Incidently, he passed out a whole handful of cigars to show he meant what he said. "I killed a big rattlesnake to day, with ten rattles." So said Rural Policeman W. D. Evans when we ran up with him at Shailotte Saturday afternoon. When we expressed disgust at his having- killed it, pointing- out that for the past two weeks we had been offering ten dollars for a good sized rattlesnake, he said: "Oh. I am not crazy enough to go and try to catch any live rattlesnake, just yet." Not even Charles Skipper, protector in the upper part of the county had anything to tell us about hunting or fishing when we met up with him this week. For one thing, the hunting season has not yet opened. For another, it has rained so much in North west and Town Creek townships that Charlie and others up that way just could not go fishing. ] We met up wUh J. TV. Vereen j and L. C. Long, both of Bolton, | one day this week. Mr. Vereen got to taking The Pilot three ' three years ago when three army transport gliders were wrecked in a storm near Makatoka. We bobbed up at the wreck at about ! the same time Mr. Vereen and his wife did the same. He has been | taking the paper ever since. Both Mr. Vereen and Mr. Long, both of whom are employed by the ! Reigel Paper Company, are very I much inte:ested in the plans of their company to stock the Green Swamp with cattle.
