Praises Route
Dr. R. H. Holden Likes Pros
pects On River Road But
Bemoans Slow Work Of
Paving Brunswick High
ways
Dr. R. H. Holden, Shallotte re
sident and booster for what com
munity and for the county at
large, made a trip over the river
Road recently and was very much
pleased at its possibilities for
economic development that will
help Brunswick county. He said
to a newsman:
"After going over that River
Road project and seeing the im
provements that are already tak
ing place and the possibilities for
economic development that the
road will offer when it is com
pleted, I want to congratulate
the Brunswick folks who are re
sponsible for having obtained the
project. When it is finished it
will undoubtedly be one of the
most valuable roads, economical
ly speaking, in Brunswick coun
ty.”
Dr. Holden went on to say that
after Brunswick county had vot
ed solidly for the state-wide bond
issue for roads, it appears we
are getting little here in Bruns
wick, and that other counties are
getting theirs. "Some of these
counties that were solidly against
the bond issue are getting much
more than those that favored the
undertaking. We are getting
nothing, he says,” except on pro
jects that were already deter
mined before the bond issue was
voted.

Tobacco Blue Mold
Most tobacco gioweis are on the defensive this year to protect their
plants against tobacco blue mold — the dread disease which wiped out
hundreds of plant beds last year, causing a scramble for plants at
transplanting time. ,i
| Last year’s attack was the worst in history in many tobacco areas,
yet prevention is relatively simple. Leading growers depend on a chem
ical called "Fevmate” fungicide which has become an established pre
ventive treatment to keep blue mold from striking. This year they also
have a new, light-colored compound available—“Parzate” fungicide.;
| Regular applications of either chemical, from the time the plants;
are the size of a dime until transplanting time, will give full protec-J
,tion against the disease. %r? - ^

agricultural agent.,

the resolutions which he favored
included a recommendation that

A program of this kind would be

Training School <
Upsets Williston
Brunswick County Training
School Boys Turned Back
Highly Rated New Han
over County Team Mon
day; Local Girls Lost
Highly favored to win, the Wil
liston high school girl cagers
found that the girls of the Bruns
wick County Training School were
no set-up when the two teams
met here Monday. With the
Brunswick girls playing surpris
ingly good ball the visitors had
a hard time to come through
with their 21-13 victory. L. Keels
of Williston, said to one of the
best colored high 'school players
in the state last season, was only
able to score 8 points. Opposing
this rangy girl, L. McCracken of
the Training School led her team
with 5 points.
The nightcap was the really
big upset. The Williston boys,
representing the largest negro
school in New Hanover county,
was set to easily overcome the
smaller down-river boys. All
through the first half they were
never able to ring up more than a
3 point lead. With this lead for
Williston at the half both teams
set out to go to town. The Train
ing School boys went the fastest
and got there first. The game
ended 38 to 32, the locals having
the big end.
Waldo Price of the Training
School was the star of the eve
ning. He scored 22 of the 38
points made by the locals. Sever
al times he made important shots
while far back on the court and
going at full speed. The Williston
boys were deadly in their guard
ing at points close to the basket.
W. Jacobs led Williston by get
ting 15 of the 32 points credited
to the visitors.
Upwards of 800 spectators
wedged themselves into the gym
for the two contests. Mostly re
sidents of Brunswick county, they
went wild in their encouragement
of the Training School boys.
Especially was this true during
the last eight minutes, while the
Training School was coming out
from behind and speeding along
to its decisive victory.

J. E. Dodson Is
Taking It Easy
Former County Agent Is Put
ting Some Of His Knowl
edge Gained From Years
Of Experience To Work
For Himself
Still in good health despite his
legs being rather weak, former
County Agent J. E. Dodson was
in Southport this week. As usual
his main interest is in farming
and he was greatly pleased at
the improvements that have tak
en place in larm homes and out
buildings during the past ten
years.
The improvement is one that
indicates much better farming and
better living than that which pre
vailed a decade qr so ago. The
county has been and still is mak
ing great progress, the former
county agent said.
Asked regarding his own acti
vities since he retired as county
agent a year ago, Mr. Dodson
said, “I am taking things easy
and favoring those rather worn
out legs of mine. I aindoing some
farming, some stock and poultry
raising and some bookkeeping.”
i It may be noted here that Mr.
Dodson, his wife and their son,
Phil Dodson, have been among the
most successful poultry raisers
in the county for several years.
They usually have two thousand
or more laying hens each spring
and their fowls are always heavy
layers. Asked about the chickens,
Mr. Dodson said, “We only have
fourteen hundred pullets this
year.”
Mr. Dodson has always been
interested in cattle and is now
preparing to buy a purebred An
gus bull. He has always prefered
the method of building up herds
by crossing purebred bulls with
native cows.
EARLIER THAN USUAL
Local shrimp trawlers have
been making nice catches of
whiting or Virginia mullets dur
ing the past two weeks. Lewis J.
Hardee, local seafood dealer and
producer, says that these fish
have shown up here at least a
month earlier than they usually
do.

of Sheriff of Brunswick county, subject to the will of the

Brunswick county continiously for the past twelve years

elected I promise to continue to do everything in my
power to give the people in Brunswick county the kind
of clean law enforcement hey deserve.
I will appreciate your vote and any support given me.

ADVERTISING PAID
Advertising shoes last week,
Carl Andrews of the D. C. An
drews Company at Shallotte,
evidently found that it paid.
Large gaps in thd stock on his
shelves could be noted this week!
"But”, he said, "I have 85 dozen
more pairs coming in this or
next week.”
BUILDING WHOLE STRETCH
Instead of constructing just 2
of the 4 mile stretch of road from
the Shallotte Point road to Sea
side the State Highway forces
are grading all of the way to
Seaside. It is understood that the
road will be ready for paving all
of the way just as soon as it
gets warm enough for such work
in the spring.
