0 About a month ago. Mr. and
Mrs. B. J. Holleman became grand
parents. and so excited and happy
were they that they closed up the
Riverview Hotel Annex and >vent
out to McCook. Neb., o "urther
enjoy the happy occasion.
To get awav the Hol!enians
chased out all the guests.
This week they reopened the
hotel, and are open for business
again.
"But we ain't got no roomers."
Holleman admitted the other day.
"A fellow came in Monday and
looked like he wanted to rent a
room, and all of us tried to sell
him on taking it. but he got away
from us. Looks as if I'm going
to have tn go away and tako a
course in first class salesmanship.
It ain't like it used to be around
here."
^Jack Perk said be telephoned
Sam Eubanks the other day for a
ton of coal, and asked when he
could get it.
"Send it right up." Jack quot
ed Sam as saying.
"What's the matter?"
"Just Irving to keep >bear' of
Coleman Hvnum." he said. "Un
derstand he's thinking of going in
the coal business, too."
4% Wesley Conkling hushed me up
the other day for fair. When I
walked into the Pine Lodge for the
Kiwanis meeting. Wes demanded.
"How do you feel?"
"What's it to you?" I snapped.
"You're no doctor."
"I know it." he replied. "I'm on
Iv a veterinarian inquiring about
the health of .jackasses."
£ When Harvey Bonev fini^he^ a
meal at Coleman's, he ells for
another hot biscuit, then he asks
for "inst a little bit of honey to
go with the biscuit."
"Takes the place of pie." Har
vey explains, "and I save 15 cents."
AGautier Jackson drove down
street just for a few minutes late
Tuesday evening and about the
time he got to the heart of the city,
the fire siren sounded and the
truck started out of the station
heaed toward Tent Camo.
Jackson, who is a member of the
fire dooartment. thought the alarm
something minor, probablv just
across the river, and fell in with
his automobile just behind the
truck. Across the river they went,
and up towards Richlnad*.
Before they «ot to Richlands. he
could see the illuminated sky. Rut
the blaze wasn't at Richlands. Just
a little farther uo the road, he
thought. He finally ended up in
'aville.
ink Jones is a Charlot'c real
c» man. and every Sunday he
u.-fs about three columns of the
Charlotte Observer's classified ad
section to talk to the readers—
and that costs a lot of monev in
the Observer. He rambles about
this and that and then lists a
piece of property.
Each column of his Sunday ad
vertising starts ofT like this one
of last Sunday:
Now this is just one man's opin
ion: (And he is often more wrong
than right according to his family.
BUT?—How many of your friends
really have much "SENSE"? I
don't mean "BRAINS"—Now all
of us have "BRAINS" or think we
have anyway) Even an idiot, and a
fool, and a jackass—and a guinea
pig—and even a fish—but the fish
hasn't "sense" enough to not bite
a hook I find there is a big differ
ence between "BRAINS" and
"SENSE". Now take two men
starting out in life with exactly
the same environments: Note how
one "goes places" in the world and
winds up working for himself: note
how the other works all his life for
some other man. The difference is
—one has "BRAINS" and one has
"SENSE". A guy might have a
"BRAIN" as large as an Elephant's
—but if he hasn't got "SENSE" he
will always be an "elephant" under
the control of some guv with
"SENSE." Having "BRAINS" in
stead of having 'SENSE" is the
difference between having noth
ing, and having something. Did
ovu ever think which vou have
"BRAINS" or "SENSE " Now lots
of us have "BRAINS"—but it's a
"darn" smart man who has any
"SENSE." We people who have
nothing but "BRAINS" can po
crazy any day: but a man with
"SENSE" never goes crazy—Judg
ing from what my own family
often says to me—I must have
"BRAINS'—and no "SENSE". But
if so. I have lots of company in
Charlotte, as well as in my own
family.
My one personal opinion ,-s—
There are not many people in the
world who have much—"SENSE".
I certainly don't want the job to
find what I believe to be A Dozen
real "SMART" Deople in Charlotte
(I mean "SMART"—not "smart
alexs like mvself* "HELL"—When
I say "SMART"—I mean "SMART"
—are you "SMART" in the eves
of your enemies?—Can you make
more money than your wife can
spend—if so—You have both
brains & sense.
HESS NOT KIDDING
0Nuernberg. Germany— (£*) —
Among interrogators of the 22 top

the consensus is that Rudolph Hess,
once the No. 3 Nazi, is not faking
his mental illness, and there are
indications that he might escape

Bond Referendum Action
Deferred By City Board
0 Again deferring action that
would launch a referendum for a
bond issue in Jacksonville, the
Board of Commissioners Tuesday
night still were optimistic .hat the
referendum could be called and
voted on before Federal Housing
Agency commitments expire on ap
proximately local 150 dwelling,
units on January 6.
Other business of the board in
cluded:
1. A statement that it would
continue with "additional condem
nation proceedings when and as
recommended by the building in
spector" and that there would be
no buck-passing of responsibil tv.
2. Heard 1'. V. Capps. leader of
the channel deepening project,
say that a public dock would be
necessary for the U. S. Army Engi
neers to nnprove a 12-foot channel
for New River.
Mayor Ramon Askew advised
the board that City Engineer Her
bert Eastwood had not had time
to complete an authorized survey
and estimate its costs, and. in view
of that, City Attorney John 1").
Warlick had said the board could
not call for a referendum without
the cost estimates.
Eastwood is making a survey
for city-wide water and sewer line
extensions, drainage via sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, and street sur
facing, costs of which he has not
been able to estimate because the
survey has not yet been com
pleted. However, he was request
ed to complete it as soon as pos
sible.
Referendum Necessary
A referendum is necessary to
vote a bond issue to raise funds
to extend water and sewer lines
to the housing project of the
Graham Building corporation and
to the Clyde Building corporation.
The former firm already has its
houses under construction, while
the latter has not passed the
clearing and laying-out stage. Fed
eral Housing commitments expire
on the Clyde Building 'corpora
tion project January fi. and by
that time the city must give as
surance that water and sewer
facilities will be furnished. It can
not unless funds are available, and
the.\v can only bo made available
w'th a bond issue.
Having in mind a one-time re
ferendum for a one-time issue to
finance general improvements
throughout the town, including the
water and sewer extensions to the
two housing projects, the board
instructed Eastwood to make a
survey of the needs of the city.
A group of interested citizens
named by Mayor Askew to study
the needs recently recommended
to Eastwood that he limit the sur
vey to drainage, surfacing and the
water needs.
Members of the board were
said to feel that they eould
meet probably next week and
eall the referendum for some
time in December. Optimistic
that it would pass, they were
represented as being confident
the bond issue could be ap
proved in time to prevent
FI1A commitments from ex
piring on the Clyde Building
corporation houses, which
would add considerable more
valuation to the tax books.
Aman Is Answered
Taking cognizance of Fire Chief
W. D. A man's statement Tuesday
that until every party involved
under the building codo assumed
the responsibility without passing
it off on the fire department lie
would sign no more condemnation
reports, the board issued the fol
lowing statement:
"With reference to the condem
nation proceedings that have been
started in Jacksonville, the mayor
and the board of aldermen would
like to state that their action was
brought about by public sentiment
in the necessity for clearing out
several old and dilapidated build
ings in the downtown section, eli
minating fire hazards and other
buildings that have been built in
direct - violation of the building
code, and that in so doing, the
present board is only enforcing an
ordinance created by the mayor

Onslow County With No Cotton Gin
For First Time In Years And Years
£ For the first time in years and
years—beyond the memory of man,
almost—Onslow County does not
have a cotton gin in operation this
year.
The last survivor, the Brock Gin
at Kichlands, was sold to the New
Bern Cotton Oil Mill at New Bern
and moved recently. The absence
of a gin is quite in contrast to
years back when as many as 22
were in operation in the county
at the same time.
Then. I. N. Sanders of Bear
Creek recalled Saturday, the gins
were all over the county, some
catering to one particularly area
only. One of those was at Pal a
Alto which ginned only cotton
raised on the land nearby.
Sanders . remembers, because it
was a Sanders. D. I. Sanders, who
had probably the first cotton gin
in the county, and that in the Bear
Creek section.
One of the reasons for the grad
ual decline in the number of gins
probably is the fact that not as
much cotton is being grown in the
county now. Production lias de
clined hereabouts in recent years
until it was hardly profitable for
more than one or two gins to op
erate. Sanders said he did not
know of but one acre of cotton in
production in the lower end of
the county this year, and it's on
the John R. Matthews farm.
Sabiston Brothers operated a
gin in Jacksonville, the last year
it served being in 1940. But the
Brock gin continued at Richlands.
The late I. M. L,. Brock formerly
operated one at his home near
Richlands. but later bought the old
Rand gin and installed new equip
ment in 1940. It was open yearly
until this year.

War Fund Short Of Quota $3,700;
Carolina Trailways Men Give $740
9 Although sump $3700 short of
the National War Fund quota, on
the basis of incomplete returns.
Chairman T. Newton Cook Tues
day predicted that Onslow st'll
would go over the top in its one
time campaign for CSC). 22 other
national agencies, and local Boy
and Girl Scouts and the Com
munity Service Council.
Pointing out that a number of
business firms and individuals had
reduced their 1945 donations by as
much as 50 per cent since last
year. Cook took heart from the
response by service personnel.
At Naval Hospital. Camp l.e
jeune. a total of $333 was raised
without any request, and residents
of Pine Grove Trailer Park went
over the top by 127 per cent.
"Those donations have come from
men who have had United War
Fund services." Cook pointed out.
"who know of their value and are
now contributing to its support."
When the people realize that they
are contributing to a fund to per
form a service for themselves,
then 1 believe they will make a
greater effort. After all. it's the
civilians who should be giving to
the servicemen, not servicemen to
themselves."
Largst donation
One group, however, that
went all-out and followed along
the lines of Cook's suggestion
was I ho Carolina Coach Com
pany employees of this divi
sion. E. C. Miller, division su
perintendent, reported that l!>
of his 50 employees have con
tiibuted a total of $740 to the
campaign. It was the largest
donation by a single group
yet turned in.
While the first reports are in
complete. Cook listed the results
so f a: as being: Jacksonville.
