The State Port Pilot Southport, N. G. Published Every Wednesday JAMES M. HARPER. JR. Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ONE YEAR . $1.50 SIX MONTHS .’. 1.00 THREE MONTHS .75 Wednesday, July 12, 1950 The Weather Steps In Just as it looked like Brunswick county was on its way to producing her best gen eral crop in years despite a mild drought in some sections during June, along came the floods of the past week to bring seri ous damage to many fields. The principal victim will be tobacco, because corn at this stage of development can stand a lot of rain and still do well. We hope that the Monday reports of drowned fields of tobacco were exagger ated, because there is no salvage for this crop once it withers on the stalk. But once more there is a graphic illustration of the natural hazards which dog the path of a farmer. Modern Services While Southport has many things which help make it a desirable place tc live so far as we personally are concern ed, it always gives us pleasure to point out three of our activities which are just as modern and up-to-date as any you can find anywhere else in North Carolina. One of these is our bus system, with modern motor coaches being routed ovei the roads of its territory on an intelligent schedule by the management of the W.B. & S. Bus Lines. This has been a blessing particularly to visitors at the Baptist As sembly this summer. A second service is the local branch of the Bell Telephone Co., featuring dial system and immediate contact with any other point in the United States where comparable telephone service is avail able. And the third is our Dosher Memorial Hospital. We always are sorry for vaca tionists who have their holiday spoiled by illness or injury; but when this hap pens, it is a source of pride to us that the facilities we have to offer in the mattei of hospitalization would be hard to beat regardless of where they might be. One of the finest tributes we have heard paid this Brunswick county institu tion came from a summer resident of Long Beach last week after she had brought a guest in for emergency treat ment. “We were delighted with your hos pital,” said this lady, who is from Greens boro. “They treated us like guests instead of just transient hospital patients, and we think your doctors and nurses are just wonderful.” It is a good feeling to know that we have the very best in three lines. FISHING FLASHES Continued From Page One eating barracuda - but today this is changed and it is now con sidered a good table fish. As a matter of fact it is frequently served in restaurants under the devious title of ‘‘deep sea trout.” FOODS . . . The barracuda preys on almost anything small er than itself. The favorite food fish are mullet, grunts, balao and almost any kind of small or medium sized fish. LURES . . . Most barracuda are caught while trolling with strip bait or small fish, but they will viciously strike feathered jigs, metal squids, spoons and large plugs like the giant vamp. Many barracuda are taken by bait casting with both surface and underwater lures. METHODS . . . Trolling or drift fishing probably accounts / for more barracuda than any i other method but many are taken by bait casting in the protected j bays and inlets and on sand and : mud flats. ! TACKLE ... For trolling, i suitable tackle for barracuda is j a rod with a tip made from eith | er split bamboo or hollow tubul ' ar steel which weighs 6 ounces and is not less than 5 feet in , length when seated. The reel should hold from 300 to 400 yards j of No. 9 thread linen line and be equipped with a star drag. To the line should be attached a 5 or 6 foot stainless wire leader made '■om No. 8 or 9 leader wire with a No. 1 or 1|0 barrel swivel at one end and a No. 8j0 or 9\0 O’Shaughnessy hook at the oth er, if strip or live bait is used. In trolling with an artificial luiv. the lure replaces the bait at the lend of the leader.
