JAMESVILLE AND
RED, OAK DIVIDE
Jamesville Boys Win, 30 to
5, While Girls Are
Losing
Last Friday night on the Brick
warehouse floor, Jamesville's basket
ball teams divided with those of Red
Oak, the Jamesville girls losing by a
very small margin and the James
ville boys winning 30 to 6.
The girls' game was hotly contest
ed by members of both teams, first
one squad and then the other leading.
Red Oak, however, was at the largi
end of the score when the last whistle
sounded.
The Red Oak boys to start with,
caged a pretty shot from the field, but
those 'two points were soon offset by
a score made by Jamesville. Another
goal placed Jamesville in the lead and
at the end of the first period, the
county lads were leading 7 to 4. With
the exception, of one point, Red Oak's
scoring was halted at the end of the
Arse period. Six points were added by
Jamesville before the half was out.
In the beginnnig of the second period,
Jamesville staged its walkaway and
while Red Oak battled gamely, her
boys could do nothing more than
watch Jamesville's experts register 16
points. Red Oak's other lone point
came in the last period, when James
ville made two to bring its score up
to S6 points.

TRAIN REMOVAL
i HEARING FRIDAY
Indications Are That Peti
-1 tion of Railroad Will
l Be Protested
I The petition of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad to discontinue trains
Nos. 56 and 57 will meet with con
tinued portests at a hearing before
the Corporation commission in Ral
| eigh next Friday, according to reports
: coming from the various commercial
- and civic organisations along the'
route served by the two trains. *
It it the opinion of many that an
egreement will be reached whereby
the trains will continue to operate un
til Highway Route No. 90 is paved
irom this point to the Washington
County line. When work is started on
the road, the only reliable way of
travel between this place and Ply
mouth will be by train.
The demand for the railroad com
pany to continue the trains indefi
nitely, it is stated will be based on
the fact that the branch, as a whole,
ia making money.
1 When the highway is completed, it
;is understood that the mail can be
successfully handled by bus. As for
| handling express, the Roanoke Beacon,
I Plymouth, says, " * • » the American
I Railway Express Company will place
j a transfer arrangement at the Union
j Station here at night, and will re
j route express from Norfolk and that
vicinity by the way of Plymouth, if
it is not hindered by the State Cor
poration Commission.
"Instead of folding the express at
Norfolk overngiht it will be forwarded
by the 8:30 p. m. train over the Nor
folk Southern and at Plymouth it will
be transferred to train No. 66 which
will make deliver of express at Wil
liamston, Robersonville and , other
stations on this line early in the morn
ing instead of the afternon.
"Express from Richmond and that
territory will be re-routed through
Wilson and the Norfolk Southern
night train to Plymouth; thence to
train 65 of the Atlantic Coast Line,
advancing the delivery of express Ave
or six hours earlier. At the present
time, express remains in Rocky Mount
overnight and goes forward from
I there on trains Nos. 90 and 56."
Should the two trains be ordered re
i moved, the postal department will be
j ready a few days to handl> the
| mails.^.
ROBERSONVILLE
REDUCES RATES
Town Commissioners Low
er Power and Light Rate 4
Considerably
A resolution passed by the Towr
Commissioners of Robersonville will
give that town a new schedule of elec
tric current rates, effective this month.
Where the light consumer there paid
fifteen cents per kilowatt hour, under
the new schedule he will pay ten
cents per kilowatt for the Arst fifty,
eight cents per kilowatt for the next
twenty-five and all above that amount
will cost six cents per Unit. Similai
reductions were announced by the
commissioners in power and cooking
rates.
Robersonville buys its power from
Greenville, and retails it to its,cus
tomers through a light and power de-
I'artment. In making the resolution,
the commissioners stated that the fl 1
nannul condition of the light and
j power department was such at the
I present time to justify a lower rate.
Heretofore, a rate of fifteen cents
per kilowatt has been charged for
I light there.
Call For New Estimate on
i Reconstruction oi Locks
An $850,000 estimate prepared by
| District Engineer Jewett, of Norfolk,
lor the reconstruction of locks in the
! Currituck Sound Canal, has been con
, sidered practically unreliable by the
j Board of Rivers and Harbors,, and a
I new estimate has been ordered.
By those who are interesetd in duck
hunting, this is considered good
tews. By others, it is considered rath
er an expensive undertaking to care
for the wants of a few hunters. The
reconstruction of the locks, it is said
"will delay commerce, but will save the
lives of ducks.
Colonel Jewett, the reliable engi
neer of the District, opposed the build
ing of the lock to keep the salt
water out of Currituck Sound, and
Senator Simmons and Congressman
Warren have made strenuous efforts
to secure reconsideration of this
it commendation. They joined with
Virginians in a hearing, which was
attended by Governor McLean and
others. -if —

FINAL PAYMENT
TO DEPOSITORS
PEOPLES BANK
Second and Final Payment
Is Approximately 8 1-4
Per Cent ,
AMOUNTS TO $15,000
Expect To Have Checks Mailed Out
J By Friday; Pleasant Surprise
/ To Many Depositors
Final payments, amounting to ap
proximately $15,000, will be made to
depositors of the defunct Peoples bank
this week from the office of the, re
ceiver. This is the second payment to
be made to the depositors by the
receiver of the institution, the first
being made about the middle of last
year. The second payment, while it is
a little less than half the first, is con
sidered very good,and goes to the de
positors somewhat as a surprise. Many
of the depositors thought the 20 per
cent paid-last year was final, very
few expecting the second payment to
exceed fife per cent at the most.
The.eight and a quarter per cent
dividend going out this week brings
the total payments to depositors up to
around $60,000.
Clerks are working on the payment
at this time, nnd they think they can
get the checks in the mails by to
morrow or Thursday.

TEACHERS HEAR
DR. D. W. BOSHART
Head of Vocational Guid
ance At State College
Here Saturday
Dr. D. W. Boshart, head of voca
tional guidance at the State College,
Raleigh, addressed the Martin Couniy
teachers at their last meeting of the
term held here Saturday.
Taking for his subject, "Vocational
Guidance", l)r. Boshart clearly point
ed out the need of such guidance
for the youth of today. In his opinion,
the youth of today is sent headlong
into those professions contrary to his
own will, that it was the duty of
teacher and parent to help the child
find himself by showing him the sur
rounding advantages and helping him
to understand them. He described the
average young man as being easily in
fluenced toward law, medicine jr the
ministry simply be*Buse the work of
each seems easy to the youth when he
looks at the men who are succeeding,
in those lines of service. But when'
the young man stops tp c6untt the
cost for such success, he finds it im- !
possible, in many cases, to meet the
requirements.
According to the speaker, getting
a job should not be the main objec- 1
tive of the young man of today, but
preparing for it is the essential need,
then the job will be easy to hold.
The speaker was frank to say, how- |
ever, that the proper selection of a
vocation and the proper preparation I
to handle it do not always lead to the
road of success.
Mr. Boshart stated there are two
million boys and girls, in the United
States who are sifted through the
schools and dumped A.' society every
year, most of them without a vocation
and practically -without guidance.
Many of these two million boys and
girls enter into work which they soon
find disagreeable and to which they
cannot adopt themselves. In Dr. Bo- 1
shart's opinion there is some kind of
work that every boy and girl will do
cheerfully, the biggest and best job,
however, is home-building, which the
professor stated, requires a high de
gree of training if the home is to lie
the foundation of our dbcial system.
Scores Idleness Among
Many Church Members
Choosing his last Sunday morning
stimon topic from 11 Thessalonians,!
Rev. C. H. Dickey, of the local Baptist j
church, stated that some time along I
the trail of civilization, man becam; |
ashamed of idleness, but, according to i
the pastor this shainefulness has not j
reached all tile church members, for !
many of them are parasites when il i
comes to doing the biddings of the J
Church, lie compared these parasites
with the dead limbs of the tree; they ]
retard; they loaf while/the honest
member works; they ride while the
faithful member fits.himself within
the traces and pulls. He showed where
a large percentage of the Church mem
bers are sleeping, and for their good, I
he would refer them to that chapter
of Thessalonians whore it reads, "If
any will not work, neither let him
eat."

"Unless something is done, around
one hundred and ten children Will
necessarily be turned from the doors
of the Williamston school when it
open. next fall," a member of the local
school board stated last night.
There are 465 children attending tho
local school here at the present time,
and every available inch of. room is
bting used to accommodate them.
Around sixty-five children are expect
ed to he ready for the first grade
here next year, and this.number after
that of the graduating class is deduct
ed frOUTIt will "Fenmin practically the
same. The consolidation of all the
schools in this toWnship'will add to
the enrollment the names of more
than a half-hundred children, and
when the fall term is supposed to -be
gin next fall, there will be approxi
mately 675 children demanding ad
mittance to the school here.
At the present time, there are 702
children in this district between the
ages of (> and 21 years. Local school
officials estimate that of the number,

opinum of many that unless something
is done at once, it will be impossible i
to control tli.' situation next fall.
School officials are continuing their
efforts to remedy the present conct*-
