The business has not been approached upon a big spafc, as a whole; however, a number of farm ers have their own incubators and raise hundreds of chickens yearly for the markets. In the main, the farm ers are increasing their flocks to the proportion where they can sell S, 10, and on up to 100 without seriously affecting the needed supply around the home. In 1924 a number of farmers made the first cooperative shipment from this county. The car was loaded in Washington by farmers from both this and Beaufort County. Approximately 1,230 pounds of the fowls were shipped by Martin County poultry raisers, re ceiving for their offerings $270.60. While the income was exceedingly small, the cooperative selling method of poultry developed from that point to a ready and acceptable business for hundreds of farmers in the county. In 1925 and 1926 shipments were made in connection with Beaufort County farm ers. The following year, however, found that the farmers of this section could fill a car from their own flocks. The opportunity, once presented, the farmers filled one car and part of an other, shipping 28,173 pounds during the season. They were paid $6,194.84 that year for their offerings. The fol lowing year, 1928, was an even better one, the shipments jumping from 28,- 173 pounds to 34,954 pottnds, the farm cTi receiving $6,898.28 for their poul try This year two cars nave already been shipped from the county, and one —possibly two —more, will be loaded (or shipment. The loadings, so far, are ahead of those of last year, and it is believed by County Agent Brandon that they will reach or go beyond the 50,000 pound mark. The records show where 38,098 pounds have been shipped this season, bringing to the farmers $9,005.01.

SCHOOL'BILL IS ABOUT SETTLED Land Owners Will Get But Little Relief; Equalizing Fund is $6,500,000 llaleigh, Mar. 12.—The fight over the Mac Lean school bill in the Legis lature has been practically nettled by a compromise, the general principle of the bill being adopted but not until its efficiency was greatly decreased. The equalisation fund of ten million dollars provided in the bill aa it was originally introduced, has been de creased to ai* and one-half million dollars. While there is a decrease of three and one-half million less than was first planned, the fund is three million dollars greater than the one in effect last year The bill, as it stands, will afford some relief to land owners. More than five million dollars, or $5,250,- 000 of the fund will go into the gen eral equalizing fund of the six months term, $1,260,000 will go into extend ed terms. The fund allotments may be withheld from the counties refus ing to adopt the standarized plans, The present teachers' salary scale prevails under the law and a new scale regulating the salaries of coun ty superintendents was prepared. Ac cording to this scale the superintend ents will receive from SI,BOO to $3,- 600 a year. . * No county can raise teachers' sal aries more than 6 per cent and par ticipate in the equalizing fund. The compromise bill provides that a teacher load of 32 for elementary and 27 pupils for high schools be set up as a standard. The bo«d_.may al low additional teachers in cases where necessary. The cost of transportation is fixed at $8:00 per pupil. Children in 6 months districts may attend high school in 8 months districts without paying tuition.

LIQUOR THIEF IS AMBUSHED Togo Pulley Was Man Who Was Shot by Liquor Makers in January «—- Little weight was given the reports j hark about the middle of January stat j lug that l ogo Pulley, alleged slayer of i Fugciic Jones, Bethel policeman, had heen shot hy a moonshiner- in the southerly edge of the county a week or more before Jones was murdered on the Hamilton -Williainston highway tin 19th of January. The alleged slay er. however, gavt credence to the re : ports yesterday, following his capture i' Henderson, and showed the scar oi hattle received when he slide liquor from a still in this county. While the names in the case are be | ittg withheld, and no authentic reports can he had at this time, it is under* ' stood that Pulley, with a friend, went I to a still at the southern edge of the | county about the middle of January, j They gathered the several gallons of I newly made lujuor and were on their way out when the owner ol the plant ! started in to make an investigation of what was going on. At first, the own j et of the still thought it way two of his regular customers who had gone to the I still to get the lii|Uor and who were 1 thin on their way out to make scttle ! ment As Pulley and his companion '"approached, the moonshiner recog- I ni/ed them and he turned to run front them." The thieves w|u> hail stole the liquor dropped it and began firing on the o.wner. The builds are said to have heen fired thick and fast, one go ii.g through the crown of the moon shiners' hat. So fast did the man run then that he was able to summon help hold a council of war, and decided up -01 a place for a counter-attack before L'ullcy am| his friend could reach their car to thakc their escape. At a bend oi the road, where Pulley and his friend had to pass, the party stationed iltelf, and as. the car with the two men started by a broadside was fired into it and upon the occupants. Pulley was wounded in the'shoulder, but not seriously by one shot. Since that, time Pulley is said to have been afraid to return to that sec-, tton., and apparently he is attempting to charge Ins assailants with the mur der of the Bethel policeman.

ELIMINATE FLAT RATE FOR WATER * Town Board Orders Thirty- Eight New Meters Installed Flat rates for city 'water were or dered abolished by the town commis sioners in special session here last night. Thirty-eight meters were or dered purchased by the board to cover the private connections to the city mains, where the customers are now paying only Hat rates, and within a short time the superintendent of the water department, Mr. Jesse Harrell, states .every outlet excepe the tire hy drants will have a checlriWg apparatus it to measure the water running into the buildings of the town. I. A repo/t on, the meter for the Tar Heel Aunrtments was made by the wa ter department's superintendent, and it jws found that the measuring ap- JKfatUs was both giving and taking. V\ hen the water runs at a rate of less than 3 gallons per minutes the meter fails to record the ilow, but *wlrcn*the est requires as much as three-fourths of the pipe's output the meter hands operate M per cent faster than they should. A new meter was ordered to 11 place the old one. An examination of the water tower made by Mr. Harrell recently showed that the inside of the tank needed scraping and repainting. The matter v.as placed in the hands of Cuiumis- sinner Meadows, who, with Mr. liar rell, will attend to the work. DISTRICT AGENT LAUDS FARMERS Says Martin County Has Cleanest Ditch Banks In State "Martin county farms, as a whoh;, have the • eleanest hedgerows and ditchbanks of any section in the State," B. Troy Fergurson, district farm demonstration, agent said few days ago. Tom Brandon, Martin County agent, states this is true, but he also says that there is room for improvement. The wet season now being ex perienced in this section is pointing out the necessity of clean hedgerow; and ditchbanks. They should be, by all means, properly handled, accord ing to Mr. Brandon, who states that the dirt banked to the side of the ditch makes the cut practically use less, for this condition causes "the water to jiond near the ditch, flood ing the fields. The surplus dirt thrown from the ditch should be scooped to parts of the field away from the ditch allowing the water to run freely from the field. Mr. Hrandon stated that one would be surprised in making a tour of tlv county and count the number of use less ditches in it. These ditche would be of great value in wet seas ons like this if they were properly cared for, the agent stated. In wet seasons, like the one we are now hav ing, the drainage system on a farm is of much value, while in dry seasons the system does no harm, Mr. Hran don went on to say.

Hugo Pulley Now In Greenville Jail !af fwpnS ROBERSON VILLE KILLING EUGENE Mtrripn VTT Ten J ONES OF BETHEL' NE ° R ° KILLED Captured in Henderson at Home of Mother, Last Saturday Night DENIES HE IS GUILTY Although Armed, Pulley Did Not Re sist Arrest; May Be Tried in Pitt County Togo Pulley, alias Grover Pauley, 'lias Hubert Jones, alleged murderer ■f fcugene Jones, Bethel policeman, on January l l ) between here and Ham ;|ton. was captured at the home of his mother, Mrs. Pearl Woolard. .it llm ilcrsiin, late Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff* J. 1.. Cash and J. K. Hamlet, Policeman J. 11. Peck anil Constable I- F. Murphy. When captured. Pulley hiding iTntler a bed in a loctefrt l room He offered no resistance, al though he was well armed with guns • nd pistols, it was said. When the Henderson officers asked tn entrance to the Wmdard home, the request was readily grained, but they had to threaten to break the door to tlv: .xinms where Pulley was hiding belore members of the family agreed to unlock it. After the officers had placed him under arrest, Pulley told them that they had the right man, "that he was tired of running front a crime.yf which he \\as not guilty. In maintaining his innocence of the crime charged against him, Pulley told : i somewhat far-fetched tale to Sher iff Roebuck in (ireenville yesterday. Saturday night, January P>, Pulley staled he wis caught stealing, that Po- Jicctuau Jones.. agreed to avouipanv hint to this county that band might be -raised. He >aid they had not truv eled very far before it was discovered that a car was following* them The race continued down Highway No. Vtl to Ruhersouville, .where Pulley said he turned hi-the (iold Point road in an effort to escape his pursuers. His followers turned in behind him and tlx policeman, and the race continued, according to his story. " They would pass us, and we would pass them," Pidley told the sheriff, the two cars, were said to have luen Carried to Hamilton Pulley stated that in an eftort, tti escape his followers,, he "tit ned on Highway No. 125-and start le in the direction of Willi,iinston When he and the officer reached But ler's. Bridge, two and one-half miles cut of Hamilton, they found the road" blocked. "'We have you where we want you,' the high waynnfU told us when we, wure^ordered to.get out of our car," Pulley stated * Continuing Ids story, Pulley stated that tin high waymen and Policeman Jones started .shooting, that while all that was going on he ran to the woods , im | h-ii]. Aft er the shooting was over and the crowd hail leit, Pulley says lie came from the woods and left the scene in bis car. Pulley dedans that bootleggers did the killing, intimating that tliev' were Martin County people. The accused man says he left for Brooklyn soon after the killing," and h ( id been back in North Carolina onhj two days before he was caught. He ih nies that he hid in the woods around \ anceboro and Bear Crass, stathlg •thai he was afraid to go in the Bear (irass section. He told Sheriff Roebuck that he re gretted breaking jail here in stat in)' that he had committed many crimes since that time, that if lie had' rimained in jail anil accepted bis puitj i-hment he would hardly be .connected with the Jones murder case. Ihe story told by Pulley is consid ered yveak by those who have studied In case. No one believes that a group •f moonshiners in this county had any thing to do with the killing of Jones, nor even knew - anything about it. There is a strong opinion prevailing i,i some sections of Pitt County tliat moonshiners and bootleggers in and u, round Bethel may have planned a plot to get Jones out of the way, and that they had an actual part in the crime i.r hired Pulley to commit" the deed. rPulley is said to have failed to answer why he did not report the attack in which Jones lost his life and he hail to flee tu savf his own. lie gave no teason lot not slopping in one of the threeHfowns they passed .through on the night of the killing hor did he ex plain why they happened" to stop at the most desolate spot of road be tween Bethel and Hamilton. The ac cussed man also failed to tell just how one car blocked two roads, one 25 feet and the other 40 feet wide, when it was possible for him to usfc either one if the car and men were stationed at the scene of the killing. While the crime was said to be have been committed in this county, it is Jim Coffield Dies After Be ing Shot by Another Negro Saturday night about 11 o'clock Jim °Coffield, a 52 year-old 'colored man who lived in the Robersonvilli , section, went $0 one of his tenaii; house at Robersonville to collect the weekly rent, Just as he reached tin* door he was shot down by (ius Knight who was lying in ambush for a rival of his who he thought was calling on his sweetheart.
