The Rovin' Reporter
(Continued i- torn fast One)
many women and girls spoke up
pro or con last week. The mat
ter seems to be going even out
side cf Brunswick county. Thi3
waek we had the following let
ter from H. B. Clemmons of Wil
mington: "Dear Bill -I was going
to suggest that if you have to
return to your old picture, please
conform to the season with your
hr.t. But a second thought was,
remembering the many fine ami
Interesting people that have been
attracted to Brunswick county by
your old Panama hat in recent
years. I am forced to think that
ceding you in your Panama in
January may be a valuable ass-.'t
to Brunswick county, as well as
to Southport. Wishing Brunswick
and Southport everything good. I
will say come on out with the
picture of the old Panama, seems
to be something under it."
Lonnie McCoy, good colored
colored farmer and country mer
chant of the Northwest section,
is an exception to a rule. Renew
i ing hts subscription this week he
said: "When my time is out and
1 if I haven't renewed, > want you
to stop my paper until I do re
new. I don't like to owe any
body for anything." Despite tho
fact that Lonnie hardly ever gets
to Southport, tax collector W. P.
'jorgensen tells us that he is one
of the most prompt taxpayers he
1 has, and he pays a sizeable wad
I in taxes at that.
Dropping in on Clarence Mont
i gomery at the Brunswick River
I bridge this week for a brief visit,
he filled our pockety with cigars
j in keeping with an old custom
! of his. We have not been going
I to that part of Brunswick coun
| ty as much as we should have.
I but the friendliness of the folks
| up there is such that it seems to
I us we cannot afford to keep
j away from them so much in the
future.
Somehow, the paint on houses
down in Lockwoods Folly town
! ship looks very much whiter on
ithe buildings than it appears to
'be elsewhere. Perhaps this is due
WE ARE THANKFUL . ? .

to the fact that a big section of
the lower part of that township
sees very little farming carried !
om The folks arc mostly fisher- 1
ermen. With very iittle cultivated
lands just back from the coast
they get very little dust and the
white paint remains whiter long
er than in most other places.
Driving through this township
last week our companion remark- 1
j ed 011 the unusual whiteness of
I the paint on most of the homes. .
i A small, smart looking fice, I
belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Boiling, of Ash, pulled one of
the neatest tricks we have seen|
at Ikey Vereen s store at Exum ,
last week. The dog calmy walk- .
ed up to the screen doors, in- 1
serted a paw between them and j
flipped one back. The whole thing]
j was done with more ease and
'speed than Is called for by the |
.average person making an en-.
trance to a doorway.
,
| A half dozen years ago, or
slightly more than that, when the
'towering Miss Ethel Sowell, play
ing at center, led the Bolivia
girls team to victory against all1
i comers, one of her best backers'!
was Miss Inez Wilson. Miss Wil- i
son, since married, is now Mrs. j
Alton Russ and is living at Ash. I
We saw her at Longwoo'd this ?
past week and the sight of her I
brought back the memory of
Bolivia's unbeatable girls team.
Going around the county we
have been amazed at how cheer
ful everybody is. Conditions like
those we have been having are
enough to discourage about any
j body, except a Brunswick county
| farmer. They have not been able
to plant their grain, to pull their
icorn or dig their potatoes. Land's
all too wet for any of these pur
poses. Despite, these conditions,
all of the folks we met up with j
were cheerful and happy. They I
' felt that the sun wHl come out !

We had left Exum and gone to '
Freeland and had left Freeland
and reached Ash when Dempsy
Atkinson, chief chambermaid to
the herd of Biama cows in the
Reigel paper corfipany woods,
caught up with us the other day.
Demysy's chief motive was to
ask us to come out to Makotoka
and see his calves.
Sinclair Gore , has built and is
preparing to open a large and at
tractive new filling station and
store at Longwood. J- S. Parker
has started work on what he
says will be a handsome new
nine-room brick residence at
Grissettown. Oscar Grissett is
completing a very attractive new
home across the highway from
Cecil Hewett's. between Grisset
town and Thomasboro. The new
home of Mr., and Mrs. R. J. Som
mersett at Thomasboro is one of
the most attractive seen in a
day's travels.
W. H. Murray, a new Bruns
wick county resident, having built
at and moved to Shallotte Point,
caught 14 nice rockfish, or strips
pers, while trolling in the inland
waterway near the Point this
past week. The fish averaged nine
pounds each. At the Anchor hotel
Mr. Murray has the mounted
heads of a large bear and a deer
that he recently killed in Wac
camaw township.
J. L. Stone, of near Calabash,
seems to be the exception among
farmers. He tells us he got his
oats all planted early and they
are now up and growing. He al
so got his potatoes dug and stor
ed before the more recent rains.
Showing us some venison the
other day. Mr. Stone told of a
party that he was with getting
three deer and a big bear.
Following the destruction of the
Longwood Trading company store
by fire at Longwood some months
ago, L. C. Brown, Jr., the man
ager, decided to move to Winston
Salem and go into the automobile
business. He and Mrs. Brown are
low living in the Twin City, a
fact we learned when his mother
sent him the paper last week as
a present. The store was owned
by his father and R. D. White of
Shallotte.
To go around Brunswick coun
ty now and note the number of
new homes and old ones that
have been remodeled Is a cause
for amazement. You do not see a
new home anywhere that does
not present a thoroughly modern
appearance. The same can be said
of the old ones that have been
remodeled. All are nicely painted
and well appointed in all details.

After being on crutches with'
rheumatism for a year or more
our good friend Albert Russ, of1
Ash, is gettins about again on !
his own. He still walks with a;
limp that appMrs to be gradually
disappearing.
J. A. Elmore. Bolivia automo
bile dealer, thinks that the sur
face has never been scratched for
one of the biggest sport fishing
possibilities in Brunswick county.!
Very few people, he thinks, know:
where the rockfish or stripped j
bass are to be found. Still fewer '
know the proper kind of lures.
A lot of people are learning good,
ways .to cause rockfish to strike, '
but the best ways have still not
been adopted here, as they have j
In eastern states. The rock are a
fish that will give the finest1
sport ? and some extra good eat
ing?all through the winter. They
can be found anywhere on our
coast where there is a mingling
of salt and fresh water. The I
creeks have them, has the in- '
land waterway. Suggested good 1
places for fishing is in the Cape
Fear, in Town Creek, in ditches:
that were once rice fields, Wal- 1
Aden's Creek, the Elizabeth River, |
Lockwoods Folly River, Shallotte ;
River, Calabash and all of the '
creeks and inlets that are found
around "there.
Come to thir.k about it, Mrs.
J. D. Johnson's Blue and White
tourist cabins and her Grade A. '
Cafe, at Bolivia, form one of the
nicest places to stop in Bruns
wick.
By impudently asking him if
he took the State Port Pilot, we
practically insulted G. B.
Phelps of Supply, this past
week. That fellow has been tak
ing the paper since it was first
j published and he let us know of
| it. One of our troubles is with
practically everybody in the coun
ty taking the paper we can't re
i member whether this person or
I that does. The only way to find
out is to ask.
Principle O. C. Burton, of the
Bolivia school, is easily the big
gest teacher in Brunswick coun
ty. His favorite smoke is a pipe
and during our last two or three
meetings he has been very osten
tatious in the matter of lighting
up with a pipe lighter that some
one presented to him and which
is exactly like the one that Jere
Evans, of Huntsville, Ala., sent
us last week. We don't seem to
have anything on him.
We do not like to give his
name, as some of his friends
might be hurt or offended. Still,
out in the county this week a
prominent resident told us that
he wished we would sell the State
Port Pilot to every family in his
community. "I want to be ac
commodating," he said, "still they
often borrow my paper before all
the family has read it. Then, too,
there are times when we need to
look it up to ascertain dates or
particulars about this or that
matter. It is very annoying to
find the paper gone when we
want it. I don't see why every
body cannot take it, instead of
borrowing it from the neighbors.
Sixty thousand pounds of meat
has been salted away at the
Brunswick County Cold Storage '
at Shallotte during the past two 1
or three weeks, according to
manager Houston Hewett. This'
is in addition to the vast amount J
of meat on cold storage and that j
taken home after being frozen.
5,600.20 pounds of the meat was 1
salted in one day the past week. 1
In addition to handling the great j
amount of meat, beef, etc., the
cold storage has taken care, of i
many deer and much other game |
for hunters.
Our colored friend, Lewis
Spaulding, whom Lewis Hardee
imported from Fernandia, Fla.,
several months ago to build
shrimp boats, seems to. be get
ting sold on Southport and Bruns- 1
wick county. He stopped us the
other day to have the paper sent
to his family In Fernandia. Hav
ing a home there and none here,
he has not yet brought his folks
on to Southport, but if he keeps
on making as good beats as those
he has been turning out it will
probably be a long time before
Mr. Hardee lets him go back to
Florida.
Flower growers all through
Brunswick county seem pleased
at the .prospects for camellia
blossoms this winter and both
camellias and azaleas in the
spring. The camellia bushes are
now loaded with buds and many
of the earlier varieties are bloom
ing. Bob Sturtevant, of Nashe
ville, Tenn., and Boston, Mass.,
widely known landscape architec,
who is consulting landscapist at
Orton, says that the prospects for
blooms are excellent. Bill Hyatt,
superintendent of the Orton plant
propogation, says that the flower
market is high this year.
I While the beach fisheries seem
to have all closed up for the
season cases are being reported
where individuals or small groups
are making good catches. This
(past week C. A. Stanley and a
few helpers caught 2000 pounds
of mullets at one take. They were
fishing at Brick Landing below
Shallotte.
It is noted that Cova Clemmons
i is constructing himself a -new
place of business on Route 17,
near Supply. He sold out at his
old stand half a mile east of his
new location.
Rose Marie Holden, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Holden of
Shallotte, was telling us Saturday
that she had made the first string
basketball team this year. She is
playing center forward.
Harry Mintz, manager of Min
tz and Company, at Supply, spent
last week in New York buying
goods for his store. During the
less than two years this com
pany has been in business it has
built up a thriving trade and
built up its stock of goods to the
point where it is in keeping with
almost any other business in the
county.
