State PatrOlman
May Be Assigned
Tabor City Soon
House Reserved
For New Officer

For several months now, an apart
ment has been rented for a state
highway patrolman who has been
tentatively promised to Tabor City.
To date no definite word has been
received as to when or even if one
will be sent here but at the time
the apartment was rented, it was
believed by local officials of the
town that promises made at that
time were sufficient for making ar
rangements for one to reside here
Letters have been written to Raj
eigh Departments by all civic clubs
here as we'll as the American Legion
and the six man delegation which
discussed the road situation in Raj
eigh two weeks ago, also talked to
several influential persons regarding
the possibilities of procuring patrol
man.
Last week, Lieutenant Smith, Of
Wilmington, and the boss Of patrol
men in this area, was in Tabor City
and led town officials to believe
that an officer would be stationed
here permanently as soon as one
is available.
Recent highway accidents and
deaths in this area have pointed out
to authorities as definite proof that
a patrolman is needed here badly.
Officials believe that the placement
of a state officer here would do
much to curtan the reckless driving
that is now rampant.
Three patrolmen are now stationed
in Columbus county but all live in
the Whiteville area and little pat
rolling is done in and around Tabor
City.

with Canady and Gore having to
use force.
All were charged with being drunk
and disorderly except Odell Shelley

drunk and is now scheduled for re-

Sonny Sanders
Is Back Home

Sonny Sanders, young son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Sanders. is back
home after several weeks in an
Atlanta, Ga. hospital with broken
leg. Sonny suffesed the injury some
time ago when he fell from step
ladder while playing paratrooper with
an umbrella.
He still has his leg in cast and
will have to go back to the hos
pital in about four weeks to have
the cast removed and for examina-
ton to determine if he is full we'll.
Both Sonny's legs have been in
cast to keep the uninjured limb
from getting too far ahead of the
broken one, and he is expected to
have to learn to walk all over again
once the casts are removed.

Rev. Joe C0ble
Talks To Rotary

Rev. Joe Coble, Methodist minister
here, spoke to the local Rotary club
at its regular weekly meeting Mon.
day night.
MIR. Coble chose for his topic
Men and Women" and proceeded
to show that although women are
generally regarded as the weaker
sex, in many instances they are
the stronger.
He also quoted statistics showing
that men are more likely to have q
shorter life span than women and
that more men die from ordinary
disease than do women.
1t was decided at the meeting to
continue eating at the Modern Cafe
for at least three months.
Willard G. Cole, tobacco sales
supervisor was a visitor at the meet
ing.
Davis Bruton was accepted into
membership in the club.

Teachers are at premium every
where but the Tabor City schools
have been able to fill all vacancies
and it is understood that other
schools in this community have just
about rounded out their faculties.
In canvassing local stores, a fair
idea of what merchandise is available
has been learned. In an effort to
help persons trading in Tabor City,
next weeks Tribune will carry adj
vertising based on back-to-school
items for both boys and girls and give
readers a chance to see who has the
needed articles before attempting to
purchase them.

J. M. McGougan, just plain Jack
to the vast majority of lower Co.
lumbus county citizenry, is serving
his second term as mayor of Tabor
City and is the ideal choice as the
number one in series of stories
on local "men Of the week..
Mr.. McGougan, who has been in
business here % years, opened the
McGougan Electric company 10 years
ago and that's where you will find
him most of the working days right
now.
Born in the Green Sea area, Mr..
Jack moved here not too long after
ward and has now reached that
number one post Of the town
mayor. ''''' '' -'as'-
Mr.. McGougan is past town COM
missioner, past president Of the Ia
Dor City Rotary club, and is men,
Der of the Baptist church. He Is
married and the father of one
daughter who is now married and
living in Raleigh.
His cheerful everydayness and
genial attitude makes him one of the
most respected of all local citizens.
1t seems impossible to satisfy
everyone while holding a public Of
flee, but MIR. McGougan has come
very near that since he took over
the reins when r. c. HARRISON was
elected to the Senate in 1912.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscriptions to the Tribune con-
tinued to mount as more than 100
persons signed up for the paper dur
ing the past week.
Most interesting subscriber of the
week, although they are all inter-
esting, is one to Governor Gregg
Cherry which is sent complimentary
by r. C. HARRISON.
Several high school girls have been
soliciting subscribers during the week
at the tobacco warehouses and their
success has shown that Tabor City

Completing a survey OF local
stores this week, the Tabor City
Tribune has found that some back
to school items for boys and girls
are still scarce but on the whole
there is plenty of merchandise to
go around providing buying starts
early and no boarding of commodi-
ties is done.
Statistics show that thefe hes
never been a back to school move
ment quite equal to the one this
fall. Thousands Of Army and Navy
men and women are pouring INTO
colleges throughout the country, and
many veterans are returning to high
schools to complete the educat'ons

Cole Makes
Survey OF
Building

New construction in Tabor City
may easily reach three quarters Of
million dollars in 1916, according
to Willard G. Cole, executive secre-
tary of the Tabor City Merchants
Association.
Business and residential structures
at a cost approximating 100000 al
ready have been completed or are
now being constructed. Mr.. Cole
pointed out today.
The executive secretary, who is
spending practically all of his time
on the tobacco market as sales super
visor, said he had been unable to
make an accurate survey due to the
pressure of other work, but listed
some of the units being constructed
as evidence of the rapid growth of
Tabor City.
One of the major items in the
100000 total is the w. F. Cox build
ing recently leased to B. A. Carroll
and now operating as Garrell's
Warehouse No. 2.
Soon to be completed is the cold
storage plant near the Jessup-Inman
undertaking establishment. The final
unit of the three-unit structure be-
ing erected by G.. L. Dorman across
from the city hall is nearing COM
pletion. One section of this build
ing will be occupied by the Tabor
City Tribune.
Two other large business buildings
will be finished soon. These are
the j. w. Peay building which will
house the Prince Furniture store and
the B. A. Carroll building which will
be the home of Carroll Motors. An
other automobile sales home was re-
Gently completed and is now being
occupied by the S & T Motor Com
pany.
Construction of the stables for the
Wilson Mule Company will be finish
ed in the near future. The owner
of this firm, N. M. Wilson, has just
finished modernization of the Mod
ern Cafe, another new establish
ment here.
The Baxter Builders Supply COM
pany is completing a new warehouse
on Loris Street.
In the preliminary stage are a
small business building by Mrs. Lee
tina Butler and a filling station by
Ottawell Watts.
Already occupied but not quite
finished is the Presbyterian church
which will cost the congregation an
estimated $4,000.
Among the apartment buildings
which have or will be finished this
wear are those of j. G. Bell, Jr., DR.,
], S. Smith and C. A. Davis, Harry
Prince, j. M. Coles, Albert Williams
and William Shelley.
Residence include four by Mr.. and
Mrs z. B. Lewis, A. G. HARRISON,

Fowler, A. H. Wright, T. S. Angle
D. A. Stevens, Carson Granger, and
