Shallotte Point J
Home Is Burned
Home Of Mrs. Mary Milli
gan Destroyed By Fire
During Early Morning
Hours Saturday
1?
A good seven rom home owned I
by Mrs. Mary Milligan of the:
Shallotte Point community was i
completely destroyed by fire at;
3:30 a. m. Saturday. The fire is
supposed to have originated from
a heater that was left burning as
the night was cold.
Mrs. Milligan, who is 70 years |
old, and her grandson, James j
Robert Chadwick, 20 years old,
were the only o' cupants of the i
house. They escaped only in the J
clothes in which they were sleep- j
ing, not even being able to save
as much as a pair of shoes.
According to residents of the
ccmmunity, there was not a cent
of insurance on either the building
or its contents. The loss was a [
heavy one to Mrs. Milligan.
New Orleans Man

city Man And Urges More
Work Along That Lina
George W. Rappleyea, war-time
vice-president of the great Hig
[gins Industries in New Orleans,
iLa., was in this office Friday.
[ He appropriated the typewriter of
jour Rcvin Reporter and left the
J following note for the regular
| user of- the machine. Mr. Rapple
!yes( said:
"Bill: You are doing a good
job. I read the other day where
Wilmington asked for $10,000 for
publicity. You are doing more to
promote Southport and Brunswick
county than any $10.000 could
ever do for Wilmington. Keep
up the good work. Preach
Southport and Brunswick county,
the climate. Half way between
New York and Miami. At the
beginning of the Low Country, a
land of beautiful flowers.
"Near in to Gulf Stream, off
ering year-rcund sport fishing,
superior to that found anywhere
east of Florida. Fine farming
and trucking lands, healthy liv
ing conditions, good schools,
churches and roads. The finest
of people to live among.
"A town and county rich in
history. Southport Pilots were
the greatest Blockade Runners
of the Civil War, of all wars, with
what they had at their command.
Without them the South would
have been crushed a year soon
er than it was. Hollywood could
find enough true history mater
ial around here for a dozen pic
tures like Gone With the Wind,
only more dramatic.
"This should be a mecca for
the tourists," concluded the note
left by Rappleyea.
Tax Collections
Holding Up Well
Citizens Paying In Better
Spirit Now That It Is Ap
parent That Everyone
Must Pay Aliks
Tax collector Edward Redwine
states that Brunswick county tax
collections have been unusually
good for the months of January;
1 and February. This applies both
: to the collection of current and
| delinquent taxes.
| It is said that the determined
| stand to collect .delinquent taxes
| is largely responsible for the cur
rent collections being above nor
Imal. For ?several years the num
| ber of delinquents has been in
creasing steadily. This is believed
i to have b^en partly due to the
(fact that many people resented
; seeing their neighbors get away
vithout paying taxes. This creat
ed the feeling that if the other
fellow was not going to have
to pay, they would not either.
The present situation is one
where all property owners must
either pay or have their property
foreclosed upon. With no other
? choice left most of them are
j paying up and the number of
delinquents is deceasing. Auditor
W. P. Jorgensen, former tax col
lector, says that folks are paying
in a great deal better spirit be
cause they know the other fellow
is paying..
