Waccamaw Lake, said to be the most picturesque body of water in eastern North Carolina, will be the camping ground of a group of Charlotte fishermen and sportsmen for several days. They will leave Monday morning and will spend a week or 10 days at the lake. In the party will be W.S. Stancill, commissioner of public works for Charlotte; Chief of Police Walter B. Orr, Lee Kenney, real estate man; Former Sheriff N.W. Wallace; D.M. Abernathy, former commissioner of public works; Joe Cochran, former superintendent of Mecklenburg county schools; N.C. Neeson of Greenville, S.C.; Earl Whitton, Frank Harlan and E.L. Keesler. Chief Orr and a party of Charlotte men have been at the lake for some days, and the chief will remain to be with the party mentioned above for several days.
Lake Waccamaw has become popular with Charlotte sportsmen during the past several years because of the exceptionally good fishing there and the picturesque country surrounding it. It is in Columbus county and is the largest fresh water body in the State excepting Lake Mattamuskeet.
