Several Badly Hurt and Two
Cars Demolished In Head-On
Collision On Tarboro Highway
Warrants Waiting to be
. Served on Victims
in Tarboro Hospital
Same old compound, that of gas and
liquor, causes trouble.
One ol the worst wricks which has
happened in some time took place on
the Tarboro-Williams ion highway
Sunday about sunset when a Buick
car occupied by Mrs. Thos. H. yam
hill and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie
Andrew*, and accompanied by two
gentlemen from Kocky Mount, Hugh
Caswell and Leon Martin, crashed in
to a Dodge car driven by a negro
man. In the Dodge car were besides
the driver, J. Robert Ruttin, Belle Wil
liams, James Bridgers, Lillian«Bridg
ers, Emma Barrett r James Williams
and Maxwell Bridgers.
It was first thught that the skull
of one of the men had been crushed
and that Mrs. Barnhill's back had
been broken, reports fiom the Tar
boro hospital state that neither of
these statements were true. Howeve'r,
i wa.i stated that they were badly
wounded, also the other two parties
in the car with them were taken to
the hospital in Tarboro where they
are reported as doing very well.
One of the colored women suffered
a broken leg and those in the cnr with
her were thrown out on the pavement
and were badly cut and bruised,
It is reported that the driyer of
the Buick car was under the influence
t. f liquor, and when he attempted to
pass between two cars at a rate of
speed estimated at 50 miles per hour
struck the Dodge car head on. The
negro in the Dodge car tried to avoid
the reckless driver by turning from
the hard surface to the dirt,, but the
Buick was too fast and met it with
a teriffic blow. Both of +he cars were
badly torn up.
A warrant, charging Caswell, the
driver of the Buick far, with driving
a car while under the influence of
whiskey was not served because of
I.is weckened condition. Another war
rant is being held against Crswell

a heavy earthquake and $10,000,000
damage was dono and 12 or more lives

Disturbances had boon noticed for
48 hours, but when the climax came
TIT the early morning If centered Tn
the bus-mess district of Santa liar hum
one of California's playgrounds of
the wealthy.
Eye-Witness Account
L?s , Angeles, Cal., June 29.—An
eye-witness account of the Su >
Rarba earthquake Was "brought to
Los Angeles today by Dr. Frederick
Vining Fisher, lecturer for the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, who
was aboard a Southern Pacific Irain
passing, through the city when the
trembler occurred.
Saw Trees Shaking
—«| n a moment the shaking l>ecame
worse and tt seemed that the train
would go over on its side. The en
gineer applied the brakes. I looked
out of the dining car window and saw
trees shaking, houses moving, chim
neys falling and people runn-inK from
their homes.
"As soon as the worst of the
shocks had stop|>ed, the train got
underway and we TiiVd traveled as far
as Summerland. about .seven miles
from Santa Barliara, when, another
sh,ock toppled a huge oil tank onto
the track in front of the train.
"After this was removed and the
train continued, we found in every
pass and deep cut evidences of the
quake. We twice narrowly missed
being burifd in slides."
The train arrived in I.os Angeles
four hours behind schedule.
Hold Peanut Growers
Meeting Last Nitfht
Mr. Charles E. Peters of Norfolk
and Mr. W. J. Story of Courtland,
Virginia were in town yesterday And
held a meeting last night in the in
terest of the Peanut Growers associ
ation.
They report a feeling among the
farmers that will keep the Associa
tion going. That- while the association
has been fought without mercy and
the membership has suffered, yet the
Association has certainly fixed the
price of all peanuts in the territory.
That the peanuts sold on the outside
have brought a much higher price
than if there had been no associa
tion.
No farmer nor buyer ■can remember
any period in the history of peanutfc
when the price has run so uniformly
as it has since the organization of the
Peanut Growers association.

Post-Revolutionary Days in Williamston
and Martin County, North Carolina
Reminescences of James Ross, as Recorded in a liioyraphy of His Father
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Uen
nie Yarreil, we are ab|e to reprint
11 qui "The Life ami Times of Elder
Reuben Ross" certain happenings of
historical interest to our readers. As
We are now going over the hits" of
history as we find in thh; highly priz
ed, we have not been able to obtain
a record quite full enough; so while
we are trying to gather as full a his
tory as possible we will run a few of
the reminiscences of early days. If
anyone of our readers has in their
possession a history of Martin county
or Williamston or both, we Wguld like
very much to Compaq .the data ,we
have with thelr's.
We would like very much to re
print the entire book, but such is im
possible. However, we want to print
those things that are of particular
interest to our readers.
To appreciate these reminiscences
of early times we will try to furnish
a setting, in a brief 0 way, that \vill
place the reader back to those early
days.
Elder Reuben Ross was 'born on
May 9, 1776 near here. He'jbad sev
eral brothers iri_the Revolutionary war
llis father gave up his vast estate
for the cause of I.iherty, [paving- UPll
bin VI'IIII.the remainder of the family
in awful financial straits. Here we
find him facing the world with
months schooling out of 14 A rs.
Facing the hardships of life and fight
ing his every inch of ground we find
him soon to be studying for the min
istry. It is such a setting that fur
nfshes us with various happenings
that will be of real interest" to we
Martin county people. Mr. James
Ross, son of Elder Reuben and author
of fhe book relates these happenings
in a very interesting way in his book.

them, o.ne in the other, in an easy
attitude, free from all e.mbaras.sment,
on account of their familiarity with

INCREASE IN COST
DOES NOT AFFECT
WORK OF CUPID
Hard times, unfavorable condition*,
womttn .s rtjfhts, increase in price of
licenses have had little or no effect «
on (,'upld's work when the number of
marriage license for June are com
pared with the number of June a
j car ago. -While there was a 40 per
cent decrease among the colored the '
whites held their own. The number ig
ued •to white couples in June, 1924
was and the sarne for this
..muuih. While there were five licensee
issued to colored couples June 1926,
I ere were only three this June.
Jhe price of marriage licenses
has not been raised, to
"data, so as to affect the whites, but,
4u iiui own estimation, the raise has
* ! >ii)e'hint? to do with the decrease in
lie number among the colored. While
thi- increase may have interferred, it
! w -not. |uite enough to prove pro
| i'iliitlve to eU-vtjo couples this month.
Where the State* once made one dollar,
1 m the form of a marriage tax, on
each marriage, it now makes three, J
