j Rainfall in Brunswick county
| county has been rather checkered
( in its distribution this summer.
The good farming sections of
iWaccamaw, Shallotte and Lock
; woods Folly townships, as well
as much of Town Creek town
ship, have had almost too much
; rain. In spots some of the crops
are reported as having been in
jured. In contrast to the above
places Southport has been rather
dry. as the only heavy rain in
some weeks fell at Southport
! Thursday.
Without having to take any
money along with her Miss Polly
Bennett of Shallotte can get in
! side any show at the Shallotte
Theatre this week, if she carries
a copy of this weeks issue of
The State Port Pilot. At the
Amuzu .in Southport Miss Alice
' Ann Fields will get the nod under
1 the same conditions.

Sam Ragsm, State News Edi
tor of the Raleigh News and
Observer and a very good friend
i of ours when we need an extra
one, is to spend his vacation, be
ginning Saturday or Sunday, at
: one of our growing Brunswick
! county beaches. Naturally, this
means that we will have to spend
a good part of next week dig
ging fishing worms. Sam is like
us in one respect. He is pretty
good for a country boy. On top
of that he is a darn smart news
paperman.
With a lot of the very young
folks, with whom we are proud
to be rated as a friend, we know
of no finer trio outside of Bruns
wick county than Helen, Robin
and John Babbington of Gastonia.
I They were here last week with
] their mother, Mrs. R. B. Babbing
ton. Their ages are about eight
and nine, Helen and Robin are
?
twin girls. John is the man of
the family. All three are red
headed and Helen and Robin are
exactly alike. In fact, it may be
said that John and his twin sis
ters are all three pretty much
alike. All of them read this paper
J at their home in Gastonia and
' they knew us better than we
knew them.
Every year we have wanted to
spend a full day with some of the
(Brunswick county shore fisheri
, es. Wanting was as tar as we
] got. Sometimes we have managed
to drop in on one and stay for
maybe an hour. On such visits it
usually happened that there were
no fish to be handled at the
moment, and all we could see
would be the fishermen waiting
on the alert for a school of fish
to show up. Some time this year
we aim to take a holiday, a full
| one, put on a pair of boots or at
least an old pair of pants and
spend a day at Little Beach.
Shallotte Point or wherever we
j can get to go with some assur
I ance that the boys will be catch
| ing fish.
Through the courtsey of our
(good friend. Wells M. Sawyer, a
| painting that is one of the best
ever made of any Southport scene
will be on exhibition here at the
State Port Pilot office for the
remainder of this week. Everyone
is invited to see it. The finishing
touches were put to it this week,
and it is worth seeing. It is a
study in oak trees, a home in
Southport and glimpses of the
river in the background. Mr. Saw
yer, now spending the summer
at Southport, is widly known for
his painting. This Southport paint
ing will shortly be placed with
his agents at a price of $580.00.
There is a great deal more
fine farming land right near
Southport than the average tra
veler by highway i mag lies. One
illustration can be found a mile
from town. Herbert Swain, farm
ing on the land adjoining the for
mer Dr. Fergus farm, has some
of the best tobacco in the county.'
He has completed his 3rd cropp
ing and is on the 4th this week.
He says he will get 1500 pounds
of topgrade tobacco per acrea. j

WHAT CATHOLICS BELIEVE
THE MASS
The Mass is the Last Supper
of Christ over again ? the most
sacred ceremony of the Catholic
religion. By the Mass the Bless
ed Eucharist and Crucifixion are
renewed. Everything in the Cath
olic Church centers about the
adorable sacrifice of the Mass.
For its celebration the altar is
erected, our churches built, our
priests ordained. It is for the
worthy reception of Christ's
Body and Blood effect by the
Mass that the Confession of Sins
prepares faithful Catholics. "I
am the living bread which came
out of heaven; if any man eat
of this bread he shall live for
ever; yea and the bread which X
will give is My flesh for the life
of the world." John 6:51.
