Delegation Talks
Swamp Drainage
To Col. Gillette

Farm and business leaders Of
Columbus and Brunswick counties
met with Col. George Gillette, dis
trict U. S. Army engineer in Will
mington recently and discussed
the possibility of getting his sup
port in the proposed drainage of
thousands of acres of water-logged
swamp in this and other areas.
The proposals, still in the dis
cussions stage, would join Mullet
creek with the WaccamaW river
via a one mile canal and thus take
care of the surplus water in the
river. This is believed to be suffi-
cient for making many acres of
land suitable for farming and i'm
proved forestry.
Joe Quinerly, assistant county
farm agent, was spokesman for the
group that appeared before Col.
Gillette and it is believed that the
Farm Bureau may take a stand
in this proposal. Henry Wyche, of
the Waccamaw Bank and Trust
Company was one of the local men
attending the meeting. DR.. Floyd
Johnson, Columbus county health
officer, was also present to pre-
sent his views, especially relative
to the malaria caused by the water
logged area which the drainage
proposal, if carried through, would
eliminate.
This project would be a two
state and five county one and
would have a direct effect upon
people living in the Tabor City
area,

Shotgun Opens Fire
On RaynOr Home

Rudolph Bachelor sustained
flesh wounds from one of the 20
shots fired into the home of Mrs.
Benney Raynor of the Clarendon
section Wednesday night, Sept. 4th
about 10 o'clock.
After the investigation by Sher-
iff H. D. Stanley and the chief
of the Columbus county bureau of
investigation, Horace Shaw, the two
officers reported approximately 20
shots were fired into the house
within a few minutes, breaking
nine window panes in two rooms.
The investigation is continuing by
the two officers with the hope they
have effective clues at hand to
lead them to the offender.

Civilian Club

the regular semi-monthly meeting
at the East Tabor Cafe here Mon
day night.
The new members are DR.. J. S.
Smith, DR.. H. G. Cameron, Win
ston Gore and Willard G.. Cole.

tiles of organizing a Junior Civitan
club here and also tentative plans
for holding an essay contest among
high school students in the local
school.
The meeting time was changed
from eight o'clock to seven o'clock.
At the next meeting of the club,

ably be the feature attraction.

Gore Lake Dam Will Be
Rebuilt During Winter
Dynamite Fuse
Found In Race

Leroy Gore, son of Lee Gore,
owner of the Gore Lake property
which was blasted two weeks ago,
stated this week that the dam
would be completely rebuilt this
winter and that it would back at
least two feet less water this time.
Instead of backing approximate
ly y feet of water at the dam,
the new structure will back only
ten feet. This will bring the lakes
dimensions down considerably and
is believed to be sufficient for
taking the water completely out of
the trees on all sides.
The lake would thus be open
water, and if it was exploded by
persons whose land was being af-
fected by the back water, as many
persons suspect, this trouble should
be eliminated.
No information relative to the
identity of the person or persons
responsible for the blast was avail
able from any source this week.
However, no doubt remains that
the dam was destroyed by dyna-
mite, five feet of fuse having been
found in the race Monday after
noon by fishermen.
Mr.. Gore was busy this week
trying to recover as much of the
old mill house and grist mill as
possible. Most of the material of
value had been found by Wednes-
day except for the mill unit
which is believed to be in the race
somewhere.
Fishing continued this week with
several hundred pounds of fish be-
ing caught by hook and line in the
deep race, literally working alive
with fish vet. Estimates of the
number of fish having been caught
to date run as high as $4,000
pounds.

Tables, 35-Foot Refrigerator
Installed In Tabor City School
Electric Stove
Expected Soon

Twelve new, attractive lunch
room tables and a 35 foot refrig-
orator were installed in the lunch
room at the Tabor City school this
week, greatly expanding facilities
and making it possible to keep an
adequate supply Of milk on hand
at all times for all students.
A new gas stove is expected to
be installed today or tomorrow
and this is said to be one of the
biggest needs at the present.
Monday the Federal aid lunch
room plan will go into effect and
under this plan plate lunches and
a bottle of milk will be served to
each student daily at a cost to
him of only Is cents.
"Installation of the new equip
ment has been delayed while ne
cessary releases for this equip
ment was being procured" c. H.
Penner, superintendent stated to-
day, "but we are getting it now
and that is the main thing. We
had hoped to get it by the time
school opened but were unable to
do So"
"Lunch room facilities are still
limited but under the new setup,
we hope to take better care Of the
students than during the past two
weeks. Everybody seems to be US
ing the lunch room and facilities
are not adequate for taking care
of them under present conditions"
said Mr.. Penner.
Mr.. Penner further urged that
all parents have their children eat
a good breakfast before coming to
school because at least for some
time the school lunch room will
be unable to furnish mid-morning
snacks as in the past.
eve hope to improve the lunch
room situation a great deal and to
assure every child of a balanced
diet. We want you to feel free to
come by and inspect our limited
facilities any time," Mr.. Penner
concluded.

Local Schools

owe are sorry that books are
not available" Mr.. Penner said,
"but it can not be helped"
"There seems to be some misun-
derstanding about book fees. This
fee goes toward the buying of Ii
brary and supplementary reading
books. This fee is in no way con-
nected with text books which are
supposed to be furnished free by
the state for all grades from one
through eight. In all grades ex-
cept the eighth, an adequate sup
ply of supplementary readers are
available and orders We're placed
this week for other books which
we hope will be filled at an early
date. However, our last years Or
ders were never filled" Mr.. Pen
ner continued.
"Perhaps some of you saw in
Tuesdays Raleigh News and Ob-
server how acute the text book sit

situation exists in Columbus coun-
ty and Tabor City.
eff your child does not have a
text book, please be patient as long
as possible until the county office
furnishes us with the necessary
books" Mr.. Penner added.
