Getting a story is much like questioning a witness in court. If the witness is a good one he gives the answer to what is asked him. This patrolman does that when he is asked concerning any incident that may have news value. We had lunch Sunday with Commander W. R. Bomberger of the Coast Guard. As waft the case a few days previously when we lunched with County , Agents j Dobson of Brunswick and Galpln1 of New Hanover, Commander i Bomberger had the advantage of us. We could not hear him ask the waiter to pass him the check.1 Since Brunswick county is now poised for its big rat killing cam paign, it was interesting to learn j from the State Magazine, which learned from Roger Murdoch of State College Extension Service, something about how fast rats can increase in a short time. Mr. Murdoch says that if there were only two rats in a town and if they were allowed to remain un-i hindered, in three years time their offspring would exceed three j hundred and fifty thousand rats. ! Renewing her subscription to | The State Port Pilot, Miss Fran-! ces LaMonte, of New York, sends best wishes to all hands. Miss | LaMonte, in case you don't know; it, is the associate curator of I fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.! She is the author of the book, I "North American Game Fishes." An autographed copy of this book is a much prized possession of ours. It has been very useful in! identifying various fish, in adcti- i tion to its information about game' fish of all kinds. 1 While appreciating ? the good folks who travel down Route 17 through this and other counties' in North Carolina, we are entire- j ly out of agreement with charges ! made last week by an automobile I association that No. 17 is a speed! trap, a racket for the arrest and placing of heavy fines upon the j motorists, charging them With speeding. We happen to check over the court fcooks each week in this county. It is true enough that a considerable number of ar rests are made for speeding. Very few of these arrests result in fines exceeding $15.00, especially in the case of tourists. The State Highway Patrolmen are supposed to enforce the law. If they catch a motorist speeding they can do MACHINERY FOR SALE 1?Farmall "A" Tractor 1?Farmall "H" Tractor ; 1?Tractor Mower 1?Tractor Stalk Cutter 1?Athens Tiller i 1?Athens B.&B. Disk ; 1?McD.

They do not try them or fix the amount of the fine. As a matter of fact, our opinion is that the patrolmen lean the other way out of consideration for the tourists. If they arrested every one they found breaking the speed laws on No. 17, court would have to be in session six days each week just to dispose of speeding charg es. Although the family moved from Southport ?half a dozen years ago, when the Rev. R. S. Harri son was transferred by the Meth odist Conference to another church, he and his family still like to keep up with things in Southport and Brunswick county. A letter received from him this week from Fayetteville, where he is now stationed, said that The State Port Pilot helped them to keep up with things. W. C. Mull, of the Standard Hosiery Mill at Burlington, while sending his renewal to the paper this week, took time to ask why we do not publish a weekly tide table, showing the high and low water periods at Southport, Lock woods Folly River at Supply, Town Creek at Highway 17 bridge, Shallotte River at Shal lotte and on the Brunswick and Cape Fear Rivers near Wilming ton. Since the best fishing is usually dependent on the high and low tides, Mr. Mull seems to have a really good idea for the paper to follow. From down at Lake City, S. C., where he takes the paper, R. j S. McClam wrote in this week to ask if we were still getting shrimp and saying he could sure make use of some now. For the information of this good sub- j scriber and others, it may be said that some days the boats get some shrimp, and they are of mighty good quality. Other days they do not bring in anything but fish. Things are more or less dependent on the wea,ther. Since he came here from ( Whiteville, we have had a suspi-1 cion that the Rev. L. D. Hayman, of the Methodist church was: something of an uplander?ten-j derfoot to you?but he dropped! around to the office Monday and pridefully told us that he* was a real old salt. Seerhs that the brother of the preacher is Capt ain of one of those big sea-goin' tugs that ply along the ocean lanes. The big boat put in at Wilmington Sunday, and according to the preacher himself, he visit ed the boat and skipper. It seems that the Skipper-brother allowed the Preacher-brother ? to ride on the bridge all the way down to Southport. Although they are getting only a few hundred pounds, local shrimp trawlers have been bring ing in some of the largest Vir ginia mullets, or whiting, that have ever been caught here. Mon day. night John Simmons, first mate to one of his brothers, dropped in at this office to re port that they had got over a hundred pounds of very large headed shrimp. In addition to these they made quite a catch of the big Virginia mullets. NIMOCKS CHARGES Continued From Page One length upon the sworn duty of members of the grand jury to make presentments. "You come from many widely separated com munities of your county, and may know of some crime which has been allowed to go unreported and unpunished. When you make a report of this nature to this body of grand inquest, you are not sticking your neck out, you are not interfering with the of fice of the sheriff or his deputies, but you are performing a serious part of the duties which a mom ent ago you gave your oath to perform. You may do this with out fear, because each of you has been sworn to secrecy regarding what transpires within the grand jury room. "Make no presentment from hatred, malice or as a result of ill-will. If any of these factors govern your action toward any person, regardless of race, color or creed, then you are unfit to sit and try your fellowman and to pass upon the evidence you hear." Judge Nimocks then spoke of trouble and strife throughout the world, even in the very shadows of the birthplace of Christ, and marked that these have resulted from feelings of animosity and hatred. He cautioned members of the grand jury to weigh all testimony, carefully, charging them that j much lying is done by witnesses. "Where you find evidence that ^ this is being done," he advised, "notify the solicitor; for this per-1 jury and will not be tolerated by this court, either in your hearings ! nor from the witness stand here j in the court room." Judge Nimocks urged members' of the grand jury not to be hasty| or careless in their investigation | of county offices, of records and j of public institutions. "It will be I better for you to make no in-1 vestigation at all than to give your stamp of approval to a con dition within your county govern ment which should not exist." Particularly did he stress the importance of making sure that inmates of the county home are well cared for. He pointed out that none of these people are at the county home from choice and declared that it is the public duty to see that in their last days they are well fed, well clothed and are made comfortable.
