JIMMY DEATON, above, left, needs help from Thomas Salmon
to display his catch of large-month bass taken from a lake Inside
the city limits. The fish on the left of the string weighs six and
three-quarter pounds and the total weight of the four is 19 pounds.
Deaton, in addition to landing these fish, had 11 strikes in the one
and a half hours he fished yesterday. (Staff Photo by Boy Cook)
FISHERMEN ARE LIKE THAT
They Never Seem To Learn
That Fish Are In Backyard
By CARL CAHILL
Star Staff Writer
Since the first whalebone was
moulded into a fishhook fishermen
have been spending handsome
sums on attractive lures and trek
king long distances to try them
out.
They never seem to learn that
the pond in other fields is no better
than the one at home.
No sc with Jimmy Deaton, 2010
Princess street.
Deaton stepped out of his house
yesterday morning and strolled
over to Salmon's Lake, just a
block away.
He cast his plug in about 9 a. m.
and for the next one and half
hours he didn’t have time to un
tangle a backlash.
He caught four large-mouth bass,
the largest weighing six and three
quarter pounds, and had 11 strikes,
strikes.
The fish together weighed 19
pounds.
But that's nothing. Deaton said
he once landed a bass in the lake,
formerly an old rock quarry at
21st and Prjncess streets, that
weighed over eight pounds.
True, Deaton was using an arti
ficial plug, models of which can
be bought with centerboard op
tional. A super deluxe model is
supposed to mate for awhile with
unsuspecting fish.
But he said the fish at the lake
would snap at anything that mov
ed, even a privy door hinge tied
to a line.
Minnows are good, too, but they
gotta be big. A minnow that
weighs about a pound makes good
bait. These bass don’t like small
stuff.
Which brings to mind the state
ment made recently by a conser
vationist of the state of North
Carolina. He averred that the rea
son people don’t catch fish is be
cause they aren’t smart enough.
Thomas Salmon, who owns the
lake from which the piscatorial
beaujes were taken, has never
caught one. But the brain angle
doesn’t apply to him. He doesn’t
like to fish.
A fish caught nowadays and dis
played prominently doesn’t have
long to wait before it takes a back
seat. They get bigger all the time.
So. if you drop down to Salmon
Lake (inside the city limits) be
sure and lock your tackle box if
you put it near the shore. These
fish go to any means to bite a
hook.
And don’t be surprised if one
knocks at your door and wants in
—he probably wants his picture
in the paper.
Impressive Worship Service
Is Held At Camp Millstone
4-H Club Members From
New Hanover, Brunswick
Attend Vespers
Bv JOHN SIKES
Star Correspondent
CAMP MILLSTONE, July 27.—
In the sundown solitude of this
pine-sentinelled glade sloping down
to Millstone Lake, 144 4-H club
members worshipped with impres
sive candlelight vespers here this
evening.
Club members from New Han
over, under the leadership of C. R.
Cook, assistant county agent, and
Miss Nancy Ingram. assistant
home demonstration agent, and
Brunswick counly. led by James
Dodson, county agent, and Mrs.
Alene Mintz, home demonstration
agent, took a leading part in the
ceremonies.
Leaders of the worship, each car
rying candles in the early dusk,
filed down to a rustic altar across
a narrow branch of the lake from
the big sandstone boulders from
which the camp takes its name and
read and sang the service. On
the bculdcrs most of the 144 camp
ers from New Hanover, Brunswick
and Anson counties were perched
to watch the ceremonies. Undei
a flaming cross, superimposed on
a living pine tree, the choir, com
posed of 16 girls from Brunswick
county, led the singing. After read
ing of the scripture, the singing of
hymns and the reading of poems,
the worship leaders, candles in
hands, filed back to the boulders,
their candlelight reflecting in the
still waters of the lake. There
they were joined by the other
worshippers and all together they
filed back on the grass-carpeted
slopes to the big camp-fire in
front of the rustic assembly hall.
The services began with the call
to worship by Thomas Johnson,
New Hanover. This was followed
by a solo by Betty Anne Horton of
Nearby Ellerbe, “When I Survey
the Wondrous Cross.’’
The litany was given by Evelyn
Gore of New Hanover and Harold
Olsen, also of New Hanover, read
Psalm 19. The Shallotte choir
sang “Near the Cross” and Kay
Monsees, camp program director,
told the story of “Christ in the
trees.
Mary Louise Gaiphin, New Han
over, recited the poem “I Saw God
Wash the World Last Night” and
the Shallotte choir sang “This Is
My Father’s World.” A prayer
was offered by Catherine Clem
mons. Brunswick, and then the
worshippers filed from the boulder
strewn amphitheatre while the
Shallotte choir, underneath the
flaming cross with their reflections
shining in the darkening waters ot
the lake, sang “Follow the Gleam.”
The ceremonies were witnessed
by hundreds of visitors from sur
rounding counties, among whom
Was R. W.. Gaiphin, New Hanover
county agent, who joined the camp
ers last night.
Earlier in the day cabin number
9, whose chief 1« Brunswick’s vet
eran «gent James Dodson, won
the 4-H banner for the best house*
keeping for the second consecutive
day, beating out four other cabins
of boys and seven cabins of girls.
The encampment, starting last
Friday, will continue until Tues
day.
Telephone Officials
On Vacation Without
Wives Or Telephones
Special to the star
SOUTHPORT. July 28.—Twenty
eight officials of the Southern Bell
Telephone company, from offices
throughout North Carolina, are
spending a week at one of the local
beaches. They are without bene
fit of the presence of wives or
other attachments.
Although destined to have it as
soon as possible, the rapidly grow
ing beach at which the telephone
officials are staying is without tele
phone service of any kind.
O. G. Bain, of the Wilmington
District of the Bell company, was
Interviewed by a reporter today.
He reluctantly admitted that it
might be that some of the wives
knew their husbands could nor
have ;.nv telephone numbers with
them, that it would not do them
any good if they had. So, this ap
parently accounted for the gather
ing without wives.

Harnett Farmer To Again
Go On Trial For His Lib
LILLINGTON, July 27 — UP) —
Charlie Phillips, 26, Angier ten
nant farmre who was saved from
execution through a recently-dis
covered suicide note allegedly
written by the wife he was once
convicted o' murdering, starts his
new trial here tomorrow.
Phillips will take the witness
stand for the first time says his
lawyer, Neill * Mck. Salmon of
Lillington. Salmon says he has
never lost a capital case in 27
years of practice.
No defense was offered at the
first trial last September. Phillips
was convicted by a jury and 'sen
tenced to die in the state's gas
chamber. Just before his schedul
ed execution a note written in red
ink on the back of a calendar
page was found by his sister, Mrs.
Willie Hayes. ' She said she had
found the note in a pair of slacks
belonging to Mrs. Etta Mae Phil
lips, 28. the defendant’s wife ol
eight years and mother of his two
children.
The note, dated Aug. 19. 1946,
the day Mrs. Phillips was shot to
death in their home, indicated that
she had tried suicide twice be
fore “but I am going through with
it today.”
The note indicated a triangle
in their lives, for it asked Phil
lips not to “go about with that
woman in Raleigh any more.”
It also asked Phillips to stop
drinking and take care of their
children, Alice Marie, 9, and
Charles (Tony) Phillips,- Jr., 5.
The children now are being cared
for by relatives.
On the basis of the note. Judge
W. H. S. Burgwyn granted a new
