SOUTHPORT PAPER DEFENDS HARBOR Demands Investigation of Charges That-One Steamer Blocks Traffic at Port Southport, March 19. The Southport News, this, week is criti- cising very strongly the -action of the In avigacton commissioners tor having the German steamer "Kiel" moved from the Southport harbor. The News says )hat a pildt in pass ing the KieL grounded his vessel on Battery Island, and then said the Kiel was blocking the whole harbor. It has been the boast Of Southport and backed up with measure ments, too that she has sufficient anchorage giound to float the whole United States navy and other ships, and so the folks are rather indignant at the suggesti :n that one little German steamer can block the whol& harbor. The News in its editorial columns is vigorously demanding an investigation. It might t?e said-1 in this connection that the Navigation Commissioners live at Wilmington, i and the News, speaking for Southport, resents anything . that 1 means staking ships from this port arid striding them to Wilmington. Capt. Lemke, of the Kiel, refuses to 4eave Sou thportand has anchored up the river near the local quarantine station. The county commissioners this week decided to deposit the $25, 000 received for road bonds in the Battk of Southport and $10,000 in thes Citizens Bank of Shallotte the bajiks to pay four per cent interest. Mr: C. L. Cotton was appointed a road commissidiierfor Smith villtj' township in the place of apt. J. J. Adkins, who resigned These com- istHGnerj recently secured to improve ' the.pobieb7T)VFham have taken mor roads. Two rural districts No. 7, Waccamaw, and No. 10, Town Creek asked the privilege of vot- j ing on proposition of increasing their school funds by local taxa- j tidn. The Southport Light and Power Company plant is to be sold under a foreclosure sale April 15. It is understood that this plant is mak ing money but on borrowed capi tal and those who stand respon sible for the borrowed money, are asking: for the sale. It is under stood that the mortgage is only for ' about $7. 500, while the plant is worth $17,000. With the coming of the sewerage and waterworks power will be furnished by this plant, and it seems that the sale of the plant will bring a number of interested bidders. ( Southport is to have a shrimp factory. A few davs ago Cap. Wm. St. George, Richard Dosher and C. E. Gause went on a tour of inspection to Florida and.elsewhere and came back determined to build a factory. Thousands- of bush els of shrimp were caught here last full and the plant is to can thousands of cans this fall. The plan now is to build a factory of about ten thousand can capacity a day.

The case in which $50,000 dany ages is demaued on' account of the lawyer's failure to keep.' an-alleged promise of marriage is mysterious because Osborne swears that he has never even seen the girl and knows of her only through the report of detectives, whom he hired to inves tigate her history.
