Following a brief honey moon the couple will make their home in one of the at tractive homestead houses on the project, six miles from Wallace. The ceremony was perform ed at eight o’clock at a pine flanked altar in the Commun ity Building. Rev. P. L. Clark, Burgaw, officiated. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. O.

Guards were posted at two bridges in the area and the two were taken when they came out of the woedWat nightfall. Their' namts were not revealed. Schools Operate With Little Fuel Practically Every Duplin Coun ty School Bereft of Coal; Shorten Schedules Its someone’s fault, but school authorities can’t exactly place the blame for the fact that Dup lin schools are operating with out adequate heating facilities. Shortage of coal is reported from practically every school in the county and the majority are operating under a “short sche dule.” J. S. Blair, principal of Cle ment high school, Wallace, started an abbreviated schedule Tuesday morning and said it would continue until an ade quate supply of coal was secur ed, or until warmer weather. A small supply has been pur chased locally until that fur nished by state or county au thorities is forthcoming. Blair said he warned several weeks ago of shortage here. The Kenansville school, along with others of the county, has been operating under a “short schedule” for some time. Mrs. Stokes Williams had as her dinner guests Wednesday Mrs. Stedman Carr, Mrs. Wil liam Farrior, Mrs. Pearl Blan chard. Mrs. Julian Carr, Mrs. Edward Williams and Mrs. Paul Smith. PLANE WRECK? Reports sifting from Chin quapin state that a Navy plane crashed into Angola Bay, covering 10 square mil es of densely wooded morass, killing two passengers and seriously injuring two others. It was said that the plane had been lost for several days and that a searching party Sunday found the wreckage by air and had re cently cut a road into the area to bring out the injured and the wreckage. Little credence is given the report. No available press reports show accounts of any plane, private or government, wrecking in this area. ii Aims At Emulating Automotive Workers End In Soli tary Confinement A six-hour sit-down strike by 15 new prisoners who had made literal translations of recent newspaper stories ended at the Pender Prison Camp Monday upon the arrival of H. H. Hon eycutt, warden of Central Pri son, when tear gas made them plea for work. The men voiced varied com-' plaints of prison life, according to Superintendent Jesse Hilli ard, and following a hearty] Monday morning breakfast squatted in their quarters and refused to join other work crews. Attempts to remove them failed for a time, then Honeycutt came by from Wil-j mington with Petit and York, taken in Wilmington Saturday, and tear gas was discharged into their domain. Within a few minutes the 15 tore out, begging to be put to work. Instead, they were giv en plenty of time to sit, for they were thrown into solitary confinement. Latest reports in dicate there they remain.

B. Lanier, who is in charge of this department. Loans from $25.00 to $400.00 are being made to landlords and up'to $l,00O.Q0 to landlord and tenant, according to Mr. Lanier, who stated that in his opinion approximately 500 ap plications would be field this season. Last season the office handl ed approximately 400 applica tions representing $40,000.00, and reported collections of 98 per cent. With 500 borrowers in prospect this season officials are of the opinion that the to tal amount of money put in the hands of borrowers will exceed $50,000.00. The office is being opened several weeks earlier this year than last and officials are hope ful that the additional time will enable borrowers to file;, their applications in an orderly man ner. Thinning Aids In Strawberry Yield Heavier Yield and Better Qual ity Results From Care ful Thinning Raleigh, Feb. 21. — Larger strawberries of better quality and heavier yields per acre can be obtained by thinning the plants in the field. 1 This is the conclusion drawn by research workers after con ducting experiments in North Carolina and other states, said Prof. M. E. Gardner, head of the horticultural department at State college. Many growers have the idea that strawberry plants should be grown thickly matted, on the theory that the more plants there are the more, berries will be produced, he continued. But when the plants are thin ned out, the individual plant (Please Turn to Last Page) Wednesday Set For Seeding Teams In Cage Tournament A three-man committee, along with principals of each school, will meet in Kenansville Wed nesday and seed the 16 teams to compete here March 5, 6, and 8 in the annual Duplin county basketball championship. The tourney will be staged in the gymnasium now being rushed to completion. 0. P. Johnson, superinten dent of Duplin schools, is to select officials. The steering committe, having charge of all arrangements and the seeding of teams, is composed of J. S. Blair, Wallace, chairman; John Hargett, Beulaville, and Carl Walker, B. F. Grady. As was the plan last year, games will be played alternate il, girls followed by boys. The preliminaries will be staged Fri day afternoon and night, with the semi-finals Saturday night. Following a layover on Sunday the finals will be staged Mon day night. Temporary bleachers will be erected to handle the capacity crowds expected at the tourney, school officials here have stat ed. How many spectators can be cared for is not known, but it is estimated that upwards of 500 can be handled with ease. Permanent seats to be installed later can accommodate 1,000. No deadheads are to be ad mitted, Blair said this week in discussing preparations. Only coaches, principals, and two teams of boys and girls from each school will be admitted through the doors without pay ment of the admission. Although the basketball sea son is rapidly nearing the end of its 1937 span, nothing de finitely indicates the next cham pions. Opinion holds that the title in the girls’ division rests between Chinquapin and Beu laville, while leaders in the male contingent are B. F. Grady, Kenansvijle, and Chin quapin. Wallace paces as a dark horse. Duplin Bank Robbers Taken InWilmingtonjSheriffHasTip Henry Stevens Made Chairman For Democratic Victory Dinner Plans for a Democratic Vic tory Dinner in Duplin Coun ty have turned into a football which is being kicked about from Wallace to Kenansville and from Raleigh to Warsaw, with Washington coming in for a double wing back form ation. Nothing appears definite as to whether Duplin, a county voting overwhelmingly Demo cratic, will have an official dinner to alleviate the party’s debt in sweeping Roosevelt again into office. Democrats throughout the county, how ever, are of the opinion that such a dinner is in order, re gardless of opposition in some quarters. Latest reports hold that “Lon” Folger, Democratic Committeemen in charge of Victory Dinners in North Carolina, has named Henry L.

GENERAL COUNTY COURT WILL CONVENE MONDAY The regular monthly session of General County Court will be held at Kenansville next week, beginning on Monday. While no jury has been sum moned to serve at this term it is thought that the court will be able to dispose of quite a fev cases, since the docket con tains a large number in which defendants are charged with more or less minor offenses. This will be the first session of the court- held since the first Monday in February and quite a few cases have been added to the docket since that time.
