Early Yesterday by

stealing a Ford from Bill Hollis Sun

The young man was apparently fright

ing that Edmonds started for the open
field in a wild run. The ghostlike
figure traveling rapidly across the yard
just before the break of day did not
make the officer feel much at ease, it

THE ENTERPRISE
Flea Beetle Continues
To Damage Plant Beds
With favorable weather prevailing,
farmers in this section are pushing a
head with their operations in this sec
tion, many having planted their corn
and prepared their ground for other
crops. Reports stating that the flea
beetle continues its damage to young
tobacco plants are coming from many
farmers at this time. A farmer from
Griffins Township' stated this morning
that the insects had completely de
voured one bed of plants in that, sec
tion and are now centering their at
tack on cabbage plants. "Once the in
sccts~"fiad their way into a tobacco
plant bed, ~Ttrey~ wreck it in a very
short while," a farmer remarked here
this morniug.
TRUCK FARMING
IS DESCRIBED
—♦—
Faison Man Says Farmers
Of His Section Do Not
Depend on One Crop
Coming here the latter part of last
week to place orders for fertilizers,
Mr. L. E. Taylor, a large farmer-mer
chant of Faison, described a few of
the farmer activities in that section.
Mr. Taylor stated that the farmers
of his section no longer depend entire
ly upon one thing for a living, that
they are planting a greater diversity of
crops, probably, than any other sec
tion of the country. In addition 'to
the, planting and growing of cotton.
Corn, and tobacco, the farmers grow
thirteen truck crops for the northern
markets. Describing tbe truck opera
tions there, Mr. Taylor said the farm
ers started broccoli shipments first.
The broccoli is a vegetable resembling
the turnip. As the season continues,
the farmers start shipments of onions,
strawberries, peas, beans, potatoes, cu
cumbers, okra, squash, pepper, lima
beaus, cantaloupes, and watermelons.
The farmers of the section have
shipped as many as 35 carloads of cu
cumbers in a single day to the north
till markets. Approximately 500 acres
are being planted in cucumbers there
this year, Mr. Taylor stated. In ad
dition to the big shipments, the farm
ers are building a pickle factory to
care for the surpluses. The income!
from the sale of cucumbers ranges
from $l5O to SSOO per acre* it was
pointed out. -
Although the Faison section is not
very far from the Wilmington port
and the big fertilizer factories there,
Mr. Taylor comes to Williamston to
purchase fertilizers for himself and his
customers. Evidently Mr. Taylor
knows his fertilizers as well as his cu
cumbers and 1 onions.

URGE LONGER
CLASS PERIODS
Jamesville School Is Using
Hour Period in High
School Grades
o
By A. L. POLLOCK, Principal
The Jamesville school boasts of the
facts that it operates the high-school
department upon what is . considered
one of the most efficient plans of or
ganization in the State, the hour per
iod.
The hour period has been in practice
since Christmas and has been work
ing effectively. There is a noticeable
difference in the amount of work done
by the high school pupils. The dif
ference, as compared with the first
term, is more satisfactory and thor
ough in every respect.
Hy this plan of organization the
children not only cover more subject
matter, but they have time to master
more thoroughly what they do cover.
More time is devoted to classwork.
More time is devoted to supervised
study. Finally tlw results obtained
are more satisfactory.
This plan of organization is high
ly recommended by the State Depart
ment of Education. There are com
paratively few schools in the State
which are operated on this basis. It
is relatively a new thing. Hut it is
no longer mere theory hut a reality in
the truest' sense. Jamesville has found
this plan of organization very helpful
in solving the problem of meeting the
needs of the individual, supervising
study, and adequately covering the re
quired amount of work that each class
i* expectejl l" do! 4

Harry Sinclair Sentenced
To Jail for Three Months
Washington, April 8. —Just exuetly
Heven years and a day from signing" of
the Teapot Dome lease, the Supreme
Court today decreed the first jail
sentence growing from the now fam
ous Senate oil investigations. It decid
ed today that Harry P. Sinclair,
multi-millionaire oil magnate, must
serve thiek-months in the District of
Columbia jail for refusing to answer
questions of the Senate public lands
committee which investigated the
case.
Sinclair was acquitted by a jury
here some tim« 4 ago on the major
charges of conspiracy growing from
the Senate investigation of the lease
signed by former Secretary of In
tel ior Fall on April 7, 1922, though
the Supreme Court itself, in deciding
suit against Sinclair ami re
turning the naval observe in Wyoming
to the government, had declared that
the whole rtansaction was tainted
with fraud.
It is conviction on a minor- related
case, refusal to answer the Senate
committers questions on March 22,
1924, which will place the oil man be
hind the bars of a jail here. Sinclair
will be required to begin serving his
sentence within a month. Under ordi
nary procedure, the court's mandate
will be sent to the federal authorities
in 26 days, at which time Sinclair
will be called upon to surrender.
George P. Hoover, Sinclair's local |
attorney, declined to comment on the.
decision until he has examined it. The
decision will be studied for possible l(
grounds for appeal for rehearing, he
said, but it appears there is no like- 1
lihood that the oil man can get out'
for the handling of the prisoners
desiring to serve their time here.
It is understood that one or two
prisoners, if allowed to serve the
time given them in the jail here,
will pay the additional costs them
selves. ,
Several of the Martin County
people sentenced at the term last
weke are now serving sentences in
various jail, while three or four
were allowed a few weeks to at
tend to certain business matters
before starting their terms.
