In an effort to effect a reduction
in the tobacco acreage in this section,
the Eastern Carolina Chamber of
Commerce ia conducting meetings in
many towns of this belt where the

PARKING SYSTEM
'HERE CHANGED
i *
i Park at 45-Degre Angle on
One Side and Parallel on
Other Side Main Street
—
"And how do you like the town's
new parking system?" asked one citi
zen of another here yesterday after
noon soon after the change was effect
ed from the right angle way to the
45-degre angle and the parallel way on
Main Stret. "It might be better, but
I dcyv't tike it for some reason or an
other," was the second party's reply.
Aside from our friend's dislike for the
new parking system, it is generally
agreed that Mayor Cohurn's streets
have been made safer and that the new
way will prove popular to autoists.
The change from the "straight-in"
way of parking to the broken angle
on the south side of Jhe street and to
the parallel way on the north side was
ordered at a meeting of the town com
missioners here last Monday night. ;
Many people have backed their cars'
into others in an attempt to leave their
parking places, and it is thought that
the present way will make it less dan
gerous for all. The new method will
little affect the parking space, as far
as the number of cars is concerned.

RECORDER HAD
I BIGGEST DAY
HERE TUESDAY
Thirty-Two Cases Called
and Pines Totalling
SSOO Imposed
*
13 CASES CONTINUED
—
Several Convicted of Driving Automo
bile yfhile Drunk Are Pined
1100 and Up
The Martin County recorder's court
broke all records here last Tuesday
when Judge Bailey called 32 cases and
imposed tines totaling almost SSOO.
The session lasted alt day, and just
about dark the judge found it neces
sary 4o alUh\v-4>»« case to go over un
til next Tuesday without its being
called.
And there wsre changes made in
the workings of the court. Once it
was all the go for a drunken automo
bile driver to go before the court and
get out with a SSO fine and costs and
probably stay away from a steering
wheel for a few months. Now when
one is brought before the court a SIOO
fine greets him and the extra require
ments continue as before. Judging
| from the number of cases having to
|do with drunken drivers on the docket
that day, the change was made just'
in time to add a considerable sum to
the school funds.
On the first count Pete Dixon plead
guilty of driving an automobile while
he was drunk. The judge favored him
with a SIOO fine, the costs, and insist
ed that he remain away from a car's
steering wheel during the next six
months.
1 W. C. Whitehurst faced a similar
charge as did Dixon, hut he plead not
guilty. The judge ordered a $125 fine,
added the costs of the action, and re
voked his license to drive a car dur
ing the six months when the
court adjudged Whitehurst guilty of
the charge. *
' Charged with obtaining a marriage
license falsely, R. C. Coltrain plead not
guilty. The evidence pointed to his
guilt, and judgment was suspended up
on his paying the cost of the action.
The only case thrown out of court
was that (if Johnson Rogers, in which
he was charged with an assault with
a deadly weapon.
The fine for drunken automobile
drivers was bucke'd when Dennis Ev
eiett filed an appeal in open court. He
was fined SIOO and charged with the
cost. Hii appeal bond was fixed at
$250, and his case will be held at the
next term of Martin County Superior
Court, for the rial of criminal cases.
James O'Brien Winhorne plead not
guilty when he was called for being
cruel to animala but hii plea fell down
when the court examined the wit
nesses. Judgment was suspended up
on payment of the cost. A brother,
Alfred Winborne, facing a similar
charge, plead not guilty and the court
accepted his plea after hearing the evi
dence.
While the judge was firm in an
r itouncing SIOO fines, he gained favor
in the eyes of many defendants when
he allowed their cases to he continued
one week, two weeks, three weeks, and
even four weeks. Thirteen cases were
continued, and the judge is looking for
another busy day nejt Tuesday, when
most of the cases arc expected to be
called again. Cases continued were:
Robert A. Taylor, embezzlement,
continued one week.
Roy Keachani, operating car while
he was intoxicated, continued one
week.
John R, Wynn and Kdgar Ayers, as
sault with a deadly weapon; continued
one week.
Wiley I,anier. assult with a deadly
Y weapon, continued two weeks.
Charles Blalock, operating car while
i he was drunk, continued one week.

Mayor Issues Proclamation
Asking Observance of j;
Fire Prevention Week
In an effort to prevent the loss of
human lives and property, next week
has been declared fire preventon week
throughout the country. Mayor R. L. ,
Coburnr has issued the following pro
clamation:
"October 7 to 13 inclusive has been
designated as Fire Prevention Week
throughout the United States, and 1 ,
call upon the citizenship of our town j
to cooperate in this great work of (
conserving both life and property by |
ridding their premises of all useless ,
and worthless inflammable material |
during this week.
In order to make the work thorough j
the town will remove all such ma
terial, free of cost, if placed on the
t.treet on the days-*Jready schecduled
for the removal of garbage in your
respective streets.
Carefully compiled figures show
| that in 1927 $1,616.1)0 worth of

our town. Our flremen answered 12
calls. While no lives were lost by fire
i ia Williamston, several people in the

I, therefore, set aside the week of
October 7 to 13 as Fire Prevention
Week in accordance with the Procla
mation of our President and our
Governor and to that end I ask youi
cooperation with our State Insurance
Department and our town officials to
see to it that all schools, churches,
theatres, public buildings, factories,
j stores and hotels be inspected to set'
that every safeguard against fire is
provided, and that exit facilities are
sufficient, in case of fire.
I, therefore, issue this my procla
niation and do set aside and desig
i nate October 7 to 13 as Fire Pre
| vention Week in the Town of WII

Market Has Its Best Week
Since Opening Early in
September
LARGE BREAK TOD^Y
Several Individuals Make Averages of
SO Cents; Good Tobacco Is
Selling Well
* -
With a big break on the floors to
day, the Williamston Tobacco market
has probably had its best week since
the opening. Old-time prices have
been evident throughout the week
and yesterday the market made its
highest average this season.
During the week,, the average
jrice paid for the farmer's offerings
has jumped daily, sometimes as
rt'uch as three and four dollars a
hundred, and yesterday was said to
• e the best day yet. In spite of com
mon breaks in two of the houses and
right much damaged tobacco, the
market averaged around twenty-three
cents. The sales this week'; including
those of today, will total close to the
million mark, and each day there has
been a decided increase in poundage
and average price.
Pries paid for the bright and bodied
tobaccos are said to, be higher than
those paid last year for the same
types, and where you have this kind,
tobacconists assure you a price equal
the one paid last season. The local
warehousemen think it best to sell
your best tobacco now, but if it is
possible to do so, they are of the
opinion that now is a good time to
sell any an all types. However, it is
quite evident that the demand for
ihe lower grades is not as great as
it was last season, but many farm
ers state that even the lower types
have advanced considerably since the
market opened.
While individual averages count
tor no great deal, many farmers
have averaged in the neighborhood
of 50 cents right along, and 40-cent
averages afe found every now and
theq. The running of a steady and
level sale is what counts, and the
warehousemen here are doing that in
so far as it is humanly possible.
In spite of the peunut and cotton
picking season, hundreds of farmers
are finding time to market their crop,
for the sales are mounting in leaps
and bounds on the market here, and
with prices steadily climbing lartge
sales are expected to continue.
