AGRICULTURE LEADERS
TO SPEAK HERE 14TH
Dr. B. W. Kilgore, Director of ex
tension, and Dr. Clarence Poe, Editor
Of the Progressive Farmer, will ad
dress a meeting of peanut growers
to be held in Williamston Apiil 14 at
3 p. m. in the City Hall. These agri
cultural leaders recently spoke in
Jamesville, but on account of the
heavy rain that afternoon the attend
ance was not large.
Dr. Kilgore and Drfl Poe are to
address meetings in Edgecombe and
Halifax to-day and next week after
their meeting here in Williamston
-they will address the farmers of Ber
tie and Hertford counties.
All peanut growers in Martin Coun
ty are especially urged to attend the
meeting here in Williamston. While
this meeting is especially for peanut
growers, all farmers and business men
are urged to attend also. The co
opreative marketing plan which is
' presented to the peanut growers i
one that vitally concerns every bur i
ness interest in this community. N.
only are Dr. Kilgore and Dr. Poe giv
ing this movement for tl)e organiza
tionof the peanut growers into a
strong central exchange for the hand
ling of peanuts on a merchandising
basis, their full endorsement but. they
are urging the growers to sign the
growers contract, which they desig
nate as the farmer's Declaration of
Independence.
The fact that the;u* agricultural lead
ers are behind this movement for the
peanut growers to' iuganlze should re
move all doubt as to the Roundness
and the safety of the plan that i
being presented. Just, as they are
backing the growers in this state ir
their efforts to form cooperative
marketing associations, the agriiul-
Jtural leaders of other Southern states
are doing likewise for the commodity
marketing organizations now being
■, K formed among their growers.
The Fire Department
Holds Demonstration
The Williamston Fire Department
under the direction of Chief K. B

✓ 'noon, cooperating with the municipal
water works authorities, arid a num
ber of out of town hose men.
The normal pressure was found to
be equal to carihg for any building {
n town in case of fire, and the spec
ial tiie pressure to that of]
«iuch larger cities than Williamston.
S Mr. Crawford is enthusiastic over
the possibility of a real up to date j
fire department here, and wil usr his
best efforts to organize such a .com
pany.
With a firnt class fire company, the
town will get a new and lower in
surance rate, which will be a great
.•giving to the people hnd will also
enable us to better control'any fires
Vhich might break out.
The Kader B. Crawford Hose Com
pany No. 1, will be comprised of »
picked number of Williamston suitable
men, uniforms will be furnished, and
a minimum amount of pay will be
given each month to the members by
the town.
Everybody should be enthusiastic
over this proposed fire company, and
with the purchase of a fire engine,
Williamston will then have fire pro
tection equal to any of the larger
cities nearby.—J. S. P.

THE ENTERPRISE
FARMERS SEE VICTORY
FOR ORGANIZATION
The peanut growers of Virginia and
North Carolina now see victory in
sight for their organization. Now
that they have about 4,000 signers to
the contract they a're bending all ef
forts to getting the additional thous
and 'signers which will be necessary
to complete their organization.
At no time since they began their
organization work has there been
more general interest in perfecting
Exchange than there is at present.
This increased interest is being shown
especially in the organization of coun
ty associations fft- the purpose of se
curing additional signers.
In this county organization work
Surry county, Va., has taken the lead.
Then came Washington county, N. C.
where the growers took an active part
in swinging that county into the Ex
change. Susses county, Va., perfected
a working organization on April 2.
Southhampton county, Va., is to meet
for the same purpose this week.
Friday, April Mth, meetings will be
held in Edgecombe and Halifax for
the purpose of lining up the growers
in these two counties. The meeting
for Edgecombe will be at Speed in
the morning. Immediately thereafter
the citizens of that community will
serve a free barbecue dinner to the.
growers present. The meeting for
Halifax will be thatafternoon at
Scotland Neck. Both these meeting:
will be addressed by Dr. H. W. Kilgore
Director of Extention, and-Dr. Clar
ence Pop, editor of the Progressive
Farmer, whv are fully backing this
movement of the peanut growers to
perfect their TTxVhange.
Arrangements will be, made for
meetings in other counties in quick
succession and the work of perfecting
the Exchange will be pushed to an
early completion.

SCHOOL TEACHER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Greenville, April 6.—Miss Neta
who has been teaching at
House Station aboutfour miles from
this city for the past several months
committed suicide yesterday after
noon by hanging herself from a tree.
The body was found about 4:30 and
was still limp. The surmise is that
ill health was the direct cause of her
rash act.
For the past several weeks she had
been despondend over her condition
On last Monday she came to Green
ville to consult Supt. S. B. Underwood
and the County Health Officer, Dr.
Chester. They both advised her to
go to her home and rest up which
she said she would do. In conse
quence of her decision a, substitute
teacher was placed in the school.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Hani*
went to the store of W. L. Rice at
House Station and stated she wanted
to buy a piece of rope to tie' around
her trunk as she intended to go to hei
.home for a few days. Aftre purchas
ing the rope she went directly to the
woods and found a tree which wa*
bent over. Walking up to the tree
sh etied the rope around her neck
with sven knots in it.
After doing this she fastened the
rope to the tree and jumped off. Her
neck was dislocated by the fall. Later
in the afternoon the body was found
hanging from the tree about two
hundred yards from the road.
It is the opinion of the county phy
sician that Miss Harris was suffering
from melancholia. Miss Harris is
thought to be about 24 years old and
is the daughter of T. J. Harris of
Pungo, Beaufort County. t
The remains were shipped to Pungo
today via the Norfolk Southern. „

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
BOYS KILLED OVERSEAS
f The funeral services of the re turn
ed bodies from France of W. T. Sav
age and J. E. Hyniiin were conduct
ed near Oak City on Sunday after
noon, April 3rd, the former at 2:30
o'clock and the latter at 4:30. The
remains of Mr. Savage were interred
at Conoho church while Mr. llyman
was buried- at the old homestead.
Each of the young men saw active
service in France uml gave his life
nobly for the country whose cause he
championed. Young llyman won a
medal for exceptional bravery. . /
Th two young men enlisted ijt \yfr
renton, N. C., in July, 1!»I7, and aftei
being in training there for a short
time they were transferred and sent
to France in. May, 191 N. They were
then sent with the .'!Uth Division to '
Belgium- and went over the front lines
for the first time ill Plunder* near
Vpres on July Kith and stayed there
'I
until September 4th. That was where
I
Mr. llyman distinguished himself.
Their next move was to St. I'aul,
France, on September Otli. On Sep
tcniber 29th the Battle of lleile Court
took place in .which the Htitli Division
was victorious in breaking the Bin
ilcnhurg line at the strongest point
It was in this battle, the turning point
of the war that W. T. Savage and
J, 10. llyman lost their lives. Savage,
a member of Company 11, 120 th liij,
fantry, the company that went in with
two hundred and ten men ,and come
out with twenty-one. llyman wa
with Machine- Gun Company, 120 th...
Infantry and both were buried at St.
Quinton.
James A. Rawls, Charlie Price and
Dennis Bunting buried Mr. Savage
in France and James A. Rawls and
Charlie Price helped to burv him here.
The following is taken from a let
ter sent to Mr. Hyman's mother by a
comrade in France, "llyman was a
number one gunner in this gun team,
and it was at the g.un that lie was
put out. But he d'd his work well,
lie saved one of our officer's lives,
as a Jerry (German 1 was fixing to
throw u hand grenade at this officer,
Hvman cut him down with his 40 gun.
He also cut down or killed four more
the same night with his pistol.' lb
picked the wftole team off"—which was
Very good work and also got a big
number by firing his gun Into a squad.
He was'a very good soldier and wa
well thought of in the Company."
Wij regret that we. haven't njoreJn,
formation in regard tn Mr. Savage'
work. .
Harding's Cabinet To
Meet Next Week
Mr. Harding's Congress will meet" '
in extra session Week and the
first thing itwill fasten i;n the country
will he a high protective4ariff.
will mean that the great manfactirr
ing interests will have no competition
and their products will lie high.
The second accomplishment of the
new Congress will be to pass a sales
tax and repeal the excess profit and
income taxes. This of course mean.l
- the half dozen persons in Martin
.County who are paying an excess
profit tax and the hundred who are
paying ah income tax will he benefit
ed. The tiix to take the place of these
two items will come from the sales
tax which means that every man anil
woman, rich or poor will pay a tax
oo'What they eat and wear, hence'we
all pay alike nnd the burden of tax
ation is laid on the person instead of
the property. This is the tax plan al
ways advocated by the rich and which
-is generally- supported--by the Rapuh
jlican Party.
Our present panic was caused ir i
part-in order that the country might ;
he whipped in line on the tax question I
anil they are now flooding the country
with propaganda in behalf of the sale
tax, the big companies everywhere are
pushing it, in many, frays .trying to
get the folks to demand it.

PRESENT MAYOR WILL NOT AGAIN
BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE
HAS SERVED THE TOWN
PAST FIFTEEN YEARS
Mayor 1!. F. Godwin states posi
tively that he will not again accept
re-election to his present position. Mr.
Godwin wishes to retire to private
life, and devote his time exclusively
to personal affairs, und he feels that
his present municipal position should
be turned over to a younger and more
active citizen.
Mr, Godwin has been mayor of W il
liumston for over fifteen'years, and
his entire encumbent)' has been prac
tically without opposition at each
election, which speaks well for his of
ticial life, and judging from hi long
tenure of ottice, the people of the
town seemed to take it for granted
that Mi. Godwin was specially created
to be mayor of Williamston ami the
Mayor's job was especially created for
Mr. Godwin.
This municipal honor is the great
est public honor that the citizens of
Williamston can exclusively effer to
ono of its citizens, und to till this
ottice for oyer fifteen years, with
practically no criticism, certainly
shows the high esteem in public eye
\vhich Mr. Godwin holds.
However, this is the day of the 1
younger men, when they should begin
to give their services to the town,
"and grow up with a familiarity of
public affairs. No doubt there will
be a number of youthful candidate
for the mayor's position, and the\
will bring to the city the enthusiasm
of youth, and the experience of mod
ern training and-adaptability.—J.S.P.
Commissioners Cut the
Tax Rate One-Third
The Hoard of County Ctfmmirsionrs
met with the old board of County As
sessers, H. M. Hurras, H. C. Jack
son and R. A. Bailey at the court
house Tuesday and went over the
(|uestion of valuution of real estate.
After much discussion tliey made a
flat reduction of 33 1-8 per cent on
all real estate in the county. The
present value of our land is now
$■14.72 per acre, the reduction will
bring it down to $29.H1 per acre.
Tim tax question is perhaps the
oldest row we have on record and
every fig'n and generating in every
[ civilized land has ha dit. It is-strange
thai people will kick so hard against
Taxes unless (Key have (lie Tdeirthat
the taxes aren't properly expended.
There are several countries where
'people don't have to pay any taxes
whatever and in those countries they
don't have to wear anl clothes, not
evert the men, hut they do eat each
other and sometimes friends who may
be passing their way, so it is almost
as bad as paying taxes.
