County Board Will Meet
With Township and
County Assessors
TO HEXUVDMPLAINTS
Complaints To Be Heard Although
Paw Chances in Valuation
Can Be Made
The Board of County Commission
er* of Martin county will meet with
the county and township tax assessors
at the courthouse here Monday to re
caive the tax returns.
The board of assessors 'will also
hear any complaints from tax-listers
as to improper values.
The board has no right, it is under
stood, to change land values except
in certain cases. .Where buildings
have been burned the board may re
duce the 1927 value. In cases where
buildings have been erected, the board
is required to increase the 1927
values.
Values 011 personal property, how
ever, may be reviewed where differ
ences exist between the lister and the
list-taker.
The question of value placed on
solvent credits by the owners is a
thing taht has puzzled tax list
ers for a long time and the board
hopes to be able to raise a good many
values where the holders of credits
have dropped their estimates below
what seems reasonable.
The Board of Commissioners have
announced that it will not take up
and hear claims for adjustment of
values after next Monday when the
county assessor and the local list
takers are present.
STATE HEALTH
OFFICER HERE
Dr. Laughinghouse Investi
gates Health Work in
This Section
Dr. Chan. O'H Laughinghouse, I
Secretary of the State Board of
Health was here Wednesday evening
investigating health wo*k it this
section.
The health officer stated that there
had been several cases of typhus
fever in Sampson county recently
and that the board of health is tak
ing every precaution to prevent a
further outbreak of the dreaded
disease. 
The fever, Dr. Laughinghouse ex
plained, originates from the bite of
an infected body louse, but after
once introduced, the disease spreads
through other mediums and la con
tagious.
While further outbreaks ar# not
expected, the health authorities are
warninig the people and the prac
ticing medical profession to be very
cautions ini their work.
Dr. Laughinghouse stated that it
ia easy to keep well, but sometimes
it is hard to get well, and that the
health authorities are always an
xious to keep the people well by
warning them against all diseases
that will weaken or possibly destroy
the body. It is a greater work to
keep tke diseases away than it is to
cure them, Secretary Laughinghouse
pointed out.

Fly From Rome To South
America, Landing There
Yesterday Afternoon
Two Italian flyers left Rome last
Tuesday and landed in South Amer
ica late yesterday afternoon, cover
ing a distance of 4,600 miles with
their giant single motor plane. The
plane carried four and one-half tons
c-f fuel, a supply r.ufficient for two
and a half days of flying.
The two flyers passed down the
Mediterranean Sea and entered the
Atlantic at the Strait of Gibraltar,
bearing southwesterly and parallel
ing the African coast to the Cape
Verdi Islands.
The flyers came to earth for a
short time, perhaps to get their
location. Going in the air again, they
moved on toward their goal in Ar
gentina. Should they reach there,
they will have completed a journey
of 7,000 miles.
The flyers encountered bad wea

LOCAL SCOUTS
RANK HIGH AT 1
CAMP LEACH
Three Local Boys Named
Honor Scouts; Only 6
Out of 94 Qualify
PLEASED WITH CAMP
Mack Simpson Wins 'Best Camper'
Award; Two Other Boys On
'Satisfactory' List
Williamston's Boy Scouts, fourteen
ill all, attracted attention of scout ex
ecutives and scouts alike last week
while in camp at Camp Leach. Out of
9-i scouts from all over Eastern North
Carolina, six made the honor roll,
and three of that were local boys.
The honor is no small thing as the I
scout is faced with an almost endless
list of rules and regulations, and to
make the roll he must observe each
rule with care throughout his stay ill
camp. The three making the roll from
here, Mack and Reg Simpson andf
Albert Leslie Clark, stated yesterday
that it was no easy task, hut since it
cculd he done, they went in to gain
the hdhor. Mack went a itep farther,
and was named as the l>e»t all 'round
camper. Scout Executive Stuckey
awarded a prize, given by the Wilson
Hardware Company, and„whilc Mack
says the prize is no great big thing,
he is pleased with the honor alone.
Next to the honor scouts court the
satisfactory ones, and oil that list
there were two local boys, Jesse Price;
and Bill Watts. In each case thesfel
boys failed clean the breakfast' .
table, and consequently they out .
by a few crinubs, as honor scouts.
"""The boys are agreed that Camp •
Leach is an ideal place for camping,
and no doubt, next year there will be
a larger number to make the trip
from here. Citizens of the town co
operated in raising S.U)O for the scouts
during the past few weeks, and ac
cording to the young lads, the money
was well applied.

W. H. Williams, a Pitt County

he climbed a fence and on hands and

call was made, and Sheriff Roebuck
with Deputy Grimes started out on
what they thought to be a case of
burglarly of the rare kind. Neither
of tHte officers thought he would see
the so-called burglar, but that is ex
actly what they did see. When they
reached the Savage home, the of
ficer* were asked to look under the
house where they saw the Williams
fellow staring-. at them with eyes
patterned after those of a cat. n Wil
liams stared only a second, for he
changed his course and was making
it for the other Bide of the house.
The officers met him there, and he
turned again. Sheriff Roebuck direct
ed Mr. Grimes to carry the light to
the other side, and when the man
came from under the house, the
Sheriff caught him.
According to the t Sheriff, the Wil
Hams fellow was even more surprised
than any of them to learn of his ac
tions. Intoxicated to the limit, Wil
liams lost himself and crawled under
the house. After the officers ejues
tioned him a while he sobered up to
tell the details of his trip.

HALF HOLIDAYS
ON WEDNESDAYS
Twenty-One Merchants To
Close Wednesdays at 12
During Summer
During the remainder of this
month and the greater part of Au
gust, the local stores will close at
noon each Wednesday, giving em
ployers and employes a half-holiday
each week.
The move to have the stores close
tor the half-day each Wednesday has
been underway for the past several
days, but it was not until yesterday
and this morning that practically all
the merchants' signatures were add
ed to the petition. Twenty-one firms
have agreed to close, the number in
cluding all dry goods, hardware and
grocery stores and barbershops. Fill
ing stations, garages, drug stores
and offices are not included in the
petition's list of names.
So far as it is known, this is the
first time that local merchants have
decided to observe the half-holiday
during the summer months, but it is
understood that the petition met
with no great opposition and was
highly welcomed by clerks.
Each week during the summer,
stores all over Eastern Carolina close
for a half-holiday, and it is in keep
ing with the policy of the stores else
where that the business firms here
have agreed to close their doors Wed
nesday afternoon of each week.
BUSINESS NOW AT
HALF-WAY MARK
New York Bank Says Cur
rent Business Has Kept
To Middle Course
The current business year at the
half-way mark, according to. the
monthly review of economic condi
tions by the National City Hank of
New York, has steered a middle
middle course between the predic
tions of pessimists who feared a
serious depression and those of the
optimist who looked for record
prosperity. During the first six
months, steel , output has surpassed
that of the two previous years; build
ing operations have exoeeded the
first half of 1927 and the automo
bile industry has staged a satisfac
tory comeback, all implying general
industrial activity, but the review
points out 'despite the good showing
in steel, automobiles and construc
tion work, there is undeniable evi
dence that the total volume of busi
ness is not quite up to that of the
first six months of last year.'
In reviewing money and banking,
the bank declares that the principal
factors in the money market over the
last five years have been gold im
ports and exports and the absorption
rf credit by the stock market. The
I net increment of gold from June 30,
1928 to May 1, 1927, was »6H1,0(M),-
000, the resultant credit expansion,
amounting to approximately $lB for
cash *1 in gold, furnishing the mo
tive power behind the great advance,
ir security prices during this period.
The gold movement, the review
points out, has not been reversed.
Net exports of the metal from Sep
tember 1, 1927, to June .'lO, 1928,
have been $603,000,000, representing
a loss of nearly nine-tenths of the
gain in the earlier period.
"Bince a large portion of those ad
ditions to our reserves have gone
back to where ♦V>f— - " the
review continues, "It would seem to
be in order, to reduce the outstand
ing volume of credit, or at least put
an end to further Increases."
Toll Is Decreased
On Chowan Bridge
The established toll of one dollar
on the Chowan River bridge has been
reduced to 76c, it was announced by
Commissioner Frank C. Kugler this
week. No explanation as to why the
reduction was made, could be had,
but It ia the general opinion that the
traffic over the bridge has been much
greater than the officials of the high
way commission thought it would be,
making possible a reduction in the
toll charge.
The rate for truck* - was not men
tioned in the Commissioner's an
nouncement. „ , *

BUILD PLAYGROUND
Club Has Already Purchased Land
And Will Begin Work on Project
Within Few Days
The Woman's club here will apply
to -the Secretao" of State for a char
ter of incorporation within the next
few days, it was announced by a mem
ber of a special committee meeting
with the executive body of the club
last Tuesday. The matter of incorpor
ation was brought up before a meet
ing of the club several days ago and
a special committee was appointed to
investigate the matter. It was first'
considered that the property be plac
etl in the name of a member, that
member serving aa trustee, but after
examining the proceedings of other
North Carolina clubs in cases of a
similar nature, the special committee
reported in favor of a charter of or
ganization.
The club has purchased 4 lot near
the courthouse, and withing the next
few weeks a playground for the chil
dren of the town wil be provided. The
lot has already been cleared of weeds
and brush, and from all appearances
the children will have a much-needed
playground before many weeks pass.
Property adjoining the lot has been
based from the county, and a five-foot
walk will be made to the side of the
county court yard. At the present
time, the walk will be the only en
trance to the amusement lot, but mem
bers of the club have already asked the
town to open flings street which will
make possible a second entrance to
the grounds.
Upholding the policy, 'pay as. you
go, the Club will not fully equip the
grounds this year, but it will add,
from time to time, swings and other
cuutwmcnt*
Plans calling for a swimming pool iu
connection with the playground have
been placed aside lor the summer, but
it is understood that the club mem
bers will give the project their full
support between now and next year

1 a pool will be provided.
