To Fishermen
Many Southport Shrimp
Trawlers Have Put Aside
Their Gear For Winter
And Have Started For
Food Fish
Most of the Southport shrimp
trawlers have put aside their
shrimp nets and are turning to j
fishing. Starting a week ago, they
have not been doing so bad. Sev
erel of the boats have brought
in four to five thousand pounds
a day of spots, croakers and some
Virginia mullets.
If the cold weather continues
the fishing may turn out to be j
a very profitable business. Us
ually it never gets cold enough
for good fishing until after the
first of the year. If the present
weather is any indication of what
January and February will be,
there will be some good fishing
a little later.
Along with fish, catches of
shrimp also picked up Monday,
some of the boats getting around
seven bushels. Shrimping at this
time of the year is unpredict
able. So far, only four of the
Bill Wells boats and the Penny
of Captain Merrit Moore have

Counterfeit Charge I
The pay-eff to the big flurry
of passing counterfeit $10.00 bills
in Shallotte last January took
place in Federal court in Wil
mington a few days ago when
J. A. O'Quinn, well known resi
dent of the Calabash section, was
given 2 years in the Federal
prison in Atlanta.
Another white man named
Adams of the same community
got a year and a day and Ed
Allen, a. negro, was given one
year. Allen was later released on
a parole under probation.
The three men, using O'Quinn's
fish truck for transportation, are
said to have passed about 30 of
th^ bogus $10.00 bills in Shallotte
in a few minutes time. One or the
other would hurriedly enter a
store, make a purchase of a pack
age ot cigarettes or somthing of
kindred value. They would pay
for their purchase with one of
the bills and hurry on to the
next customer. After covering
Shallotte O'Quinn is said to have
gone to his home at Calabash
while Adams and Allen went on
a further trading expedition j
through , Columbus and Robeson |
counties. , They were arrested in
Robeson with a considerable
quantity of the bad bills in the |
truck.

Following Wreck
?
Some drivers may have the idea
that they can perambulate about
drunk, anywhere except on pav
ed roads or other state roads
but James McMillan, Southport
negro, found out otherwise Mon
day morning-.
He was in his car or truck on
a dirt road that runs west from
the Dosher Memorial Hospital and
allegedly headed his machine into
another operated by Allen Clem- 1
mons, colored resident of the I
town. Damage is said to have
been nominal, amounting to only
about $15.00, but Clemmons made
| considerable ado at being butted
about goat fashion.
Patrolman C. M. Cummings was
in town attending court. In re
sponse to Clemmons' complaint he
went out and arrested McMillan,
booking him on a charge of
drunken driving.
