TOWN MAY HAVE
TREASURER ON
FULL-TIME BASIS
• ■
Matter Is Taken Up at
Special Meeting Held
Wednesday
IS NOT DEFINITE YET
• -
Matter Will Probably B« Brought Up
POT Pinal Disposition at Regular
"lit Monday
Matting in special session here last
. Wednesday night, the town commis
sioner* practically set up machinery
for the establishment and maintenance
of an all-time treasurer's office, one
that will be operated at a nominal
cost and better serve the citiiens. The
motion pssaed at the Wednesday
night meeting only provides for the
establishment and maintenance of an
all-time office. It is understood that
definite arrangements will result in
the regular meeting of the town heads
next Monday night.
In discussing the proposed all-time
office, it was learned that a clerk
could be hired at a nominal sum,
probably $BO, to keep the office so
many hours each day, the number and
■alary to be determined later. The
office will be directed by the treasurer
who will make systematic checks and
see that all the details of the office
are handled properly and promptly.
All water readings, it is understood,
would be turned over to the clerk who
would prepare the bills and receive
the amounts. Customers whoae ac
counts are not paid by a certain time
would have their water turned off on
the 10th of the month. The tax col
lections would be turned into the of
fice and reported each day. Payrolls
would be prepared and checks carried
before the treasurer for his signa
ture. The books would be kept up to
the minute and held open for inspec
tion by any citisen at any time.
After hearing the case for such an
office, the commissioners heartily fav
ored the change, and it is believed thst
the office will prove a great success.

»
Barbara Here Thought They Were
Exempted, But Arc Adviaed
Differently
Among the great number of laws
paused by the last North Carolina
Legislature and going into effect next
.toijlbay, the two attracting the moat
attention, with the exception of the
school bill which has caused the edu
cators to tax their brains, and the
road bill, are the laws increasing the
tax on barbers and the one providing
control of traffic on the State high
ways.
The law increasing the barber'a tax
has torn asunder the regular news ex
change, and once where the custo
mers and barbers talked of everything
in the line of current activities, the
barbers are talking the law affecting
them. For a while the local shops
thought they would escape the |lO tax
imposed upon each barber in that it
was understood the law did not apply
in those cases where the populaUon
of the town was less than 1,800 peo
ple, the 1920 cenus being used as a
basis for laying the tax. The shop
proprietors searched the records for
the census, and after they thought
they were exempt they were given no
tice of the time limit. An attorney
wap .consulted, he advising them to
pay the tax.
The highway patrol, with a lieu
tenant stationed in every highway
district at tlie highway headquarters
for that district, is also-causing much
talk. While after next Monday the
police patrol will reason with the mo
torists, recently the motorcade is said
to have frightened one man to death.
A dispatch from Gastonia reads, "Si
rens of the motorcade of the new
State highway police patrol, which
was passing through the city, were
blamed for John William Huntsinger*s
death. Neighbors said that Huntaing
er, age 58, became frightened when he
heard the noise, daahed out of his
home, on Gaston avenue, and ran half
a block and fell dead.
The two laws with many others will
go into effect next Monday, the mem
bers of the police patrol to be sworn
in that day.

He thoroughly mixed the fertiliser

Is Convicted of Hunting in

Without Permission
IS FINED $5 AND COST

CaM la Hotly Contested in Juatic« of
Peace Court Hera Wedneaday;
Next Trial Bafora Recorder
•
Arthur Ruffin, the assistant game
warden, of Kelford, who collected
n.oney for fiahing licenses from peo
ple fishing for carp and eel on thii side
of the Roanoke River several weeks
ago, R. H. White, of Hobgood, and
Lester Bland, a farmer of Goose Neat
Township, this county, were brought
into court here last Wednesday . to:
face a charge of hunting without a
permit on certain lands in Goose Nest
Township last February.
The case was hotly contested, the
State and defense both offering much
evidence. Following the spirited ar
guments in the case, Justice of the
Peace J. L. Haasell fined each $5 and
added the costs in the case. The de
fendants entered appeals, the court
recognising the men. The case will
be heard in recorder's court here on
July 16.
At the trial held in the mayor's of
fice here Wednesday morning, George
Brown, the first State witness called,
stated that he was the lessee of the
John Bell land and had cultivated it
for a number of years under the con
tract. He stated that he had given
neither of the defendants a verbal or
written permit to hunt on the land. It
was also pointed out that the land,
owned by John Bell, was posted and
had many signs forbidding • hunting
displayed for a number of years.
Albert Flannagan, who lives near
the Bell land, stated that he saw the
three defendants hunting with dogs
and guns on the farm in February.
Jim Lassiter, next witness for the'.
State, stated he knew very little about
the case, that he did see three men
hunting on the land, but did not recog
nise them. *
Arthur Ruflin, without counsel, han
dled his own case and offered a mo
tion for dismissal of the charges on
account of defects in the warrant. He
maintained that the charge did not
come under the game law and waa,
therefore, void. His motion was over
ruled when E. S. Peel, county attor
ney, acting for the State, produced the
special act which forbida any one

son in Goose Neat township without
written permission.
His motion overruled, the defendant
began to zealously contest the case.
He became plainly excited when mo
tion after motion offered by him wa*
overruled by the court, but with tremu
lous effort he would stage another
comeback, charging that the prosecu
tion was both malicious and frivolous,
adding that the prosecutors were only
after him because he had prosecuted
thepi in Bertie. >
Presenting himself as a witness in
the case, he attempted to go after a
number of the other witnesses, but
the court regarded his methods aa i
means of argument rather than an of
fering of facts and held him down.
His last big gu« was fired when be
reached into his pocket and pulled out
a written permit bearing date of No

W. Bell signed to it. Mr. Ruffin stat

time and Mrs. Bell signed the per

MANY MATTERS
BEFORE TOWN
BOARD MEETING
•
Special Meeting Held Last
Wednesday Had Many
Requests to Consider
AUDIT IS REVIEWED
Several Requests for Additional Pav
ing Are Received; No Definite
Action It Taken
For more than thre« hours the town
commissioners in special session here
last Wednesdfy night worked on town
problems, discussing the paving pro
gram and reviewing the audit recent
ly made of the town's books.
Several requests for the extension
of the town's paving program ware
made, the board taking no official ac
tion in the matter other than assur
ing those entering the requests that
petitions would be prepared and given
them that proper signatures might be
secured. Property owners, on Beech
street were anxious to have their
walk included in the program and one
or two other walks were mentioned.
It was stated at the meeting that
several property owners on Church
street are anxious to have that street
paved from the intersection of Haugh
ton to the corner at Watts street. No
definite action resulted, the meeting
only discussing the matter.
The condition of one of the wharf
warehouses was reported bad, and a
request was made for repairs. A com
mittee was appointed to investigate
the condition and have necessary re
pairs made.
Technicalities in an insurance policy,
one required by law for employees,
were mentioned, the mayor being au
thorised to handle them.
Taking up the audit, the commis
sioners entered into a tedious ant!
mean task. Faced with dead accounts'
and uncollectible taxes, the commis
sioners reviewed the books from as
far back as the year 1923 up tu the
present. Errors were corrected, dead
accounts marked off and an order was
passed commanding the tax collector
to take the clothes off some of those
who could and would not pay their
poll taxes. The tax collector explain
ed the situation, stating that in those
cases where the taxes were unpaid,
the debtors had all their property, in
many cases, covered by other names
and collection is impossible, almost.
It was stated that all real estate hatl
been auctioned where the taxes were
not paid. The members of the board
were frank in reviewing the audit,
and discussed the "'situation from u
strictly business standpoint. The audit
showed that the collections for the
past two years had been the best ever
made here.
A report showing the complete fi
nancial condition of the town will be
available within the next few days,
auditor stated at the meeting.

TWO CONFESS GUILT

Sylvester Taylor and Luther Clark
Under 11.000 Bond*; Other Two
Under *5O Bonda
•
At a preliminary hearing held he
ft re Justice of the Peace A. T. Craw
ford Wednesday afternoon at S o'clock
Sylvester Taylor, Perlic Coltrain, John
Henry Biggs, and Luther Clark, charg
ed with entering and robbing a store
and depot at Jamesville early Wednes
day, were hound over to the nexitfrm .
oi Martin County Superior Court. On
ly nominal bonds were required of Col
train and Biggs, theirs being $5O each,
while Taylor and Clark were placed
under a $1,0(10 bond each!
Perlic Coltrain, 20-year-old white
boy, was the first witness for the
State. In telling the story before Jus
tice of the Peace Crawford, he stated
that he and the three other boys drove
down the Jatnesville road late
night. Before leaving liet refused to
get a truck as he was requested to do
by Sylvester Taylor. Upon reaching
J antes ville they parked their car be
hind the old schoolhouse and then
went to Moore's store and broke in,
getting cigars,, cigarettes, and Coca
Cola. They then decided to enter the
depot and get the sate, Coltrain stat-.
ing further that he refused to haul the
syfe in his car. It was then suggested
that they go for a hand car a short dis
tance up the railroad track and haul
the safe away on that. his
evidence, Coltrain stated they broke in
to the toolhouse and got the hand car.
"We started pushing the car to the
station, Clark and Taylor going a
head of us. When we reached the
depot they had the safe out. We
placed the safe 6ri the car and it was
agreed that I should go for my car
and drive it to the Wig Hardison
crossing, near Roberson's filling sta
tion, while they pushed the rail tar up
to that point and meet me. I drove
to the crossing, and when they reached
there they told me that they had been
shot and were forced to leave car and
safe down the railroad. Sylvester
Taylor gave me it large and a small
carton of cigarettes and $1.55 in money.
I gave the cigarettes and money to
officers. Biggs took the cigarettes al
lotted to him and agreed to take care
of those supposed to go to Clark, as
he was afraid to take them home."
John Henry Biggs asked to he al
lowed to relate his version of the af
fair. He stated that he, Taylor, and
Luther Clark, often known as "Slick"
Clark, went over to Dallas Rogers and
then to Coltrain's home and callet)
Perlie Coltrain out. Clark and Taylor
insisted that he ask Coltrain where
they could get "something." While
Biggs was at the Coltrain home, Tay
lor and Clark came up and the four
left in Coltrain's car. "We then went
to Gardner's Creek, hut we were afraid
to attempt anything there and decided
to go on to Jamesville. Clark and
Taylor broke out window lights in
Moore's store and sent me in to un
lock the door." Biggs' story then
conformed with that told by Coltrain
up until Coltrain left to drive the car
to th? Wig Hardison crossing. He
tit-scribed the shootirtfe by the section
master and how the three of them fled.
Several of the shot struck Clark in
the back, he stated, hut they were so
small that they did not pierce the
skin. "When I learned the officers
were tracking us, I threw the cigars
and cigarettes into the old Bear Trap
mill run," he concluded.
O G. Carson, agent at the Jamesville
station, said that he left- around *l5
in" cash in the money drawer,, all of
which was missing with the exception
of a few pennies. The safe, weighing
980 pounds, contained *2O and a dia
mond ring, it was stated by Mr. Car
son. No damage was done ti) the
safe.
Taylor, who ,ifc alio under a $l,OOO
bond for his appearance at thj"'ifrxt
term of Beaufort County superior court
to answer in the case charging him
with entering the store of Hoyt Rob
erson, at Batts Cross Roads,- Beaufort
County, and carrying off an iron safe,
furnished bond immediately, his father
.coining to his rescue. Coltrain and
Biggs also secured bonds in a short
time. Clark was unable to furnish th«
bond required and is still in jail here.
Taylor and Clark are both young
married men. Coltrain is only 20 years

Sylvester Taylor, Perlie Coltrain,
John Henry Biggs and Luther Clark,
young white boys of this county, were
placed in jail here. last Wednesday
charged with connection in the rob
bery of the A. C. L. station at James
ville and a store nearby early that
morning. Twelve hours following the
robbery Sheriff C. B.* Roebuck assist
ed by Deputy Grimes, Chief of Police
W. B. Daniel, Station Agent O. C.
Carson, W. L. Evans, section master
for tjje railroad, and others, had suf
ficient evidence to warrant the arrests
of the four young men.
The robbers met yvith little success
in their two raids, one in the store of
W. L»_Moore and the other in the
Jamesville depot. At the store they
stole cigargettes, cigars and a few
other articles. The drive in the station
was centered on money, but there the
robbers pocketed only $l5. An iron
safe, weighing approximately 1,000
pounds and containing around $2O
and a diamond ring, was removed, but
the dare-devils were hampered in
their game and escaped carrying with
them only a few goods stolen at the
store and the $l5 found in the sta
tion's money drawer.
According to the story told by of
ficers, Mr. W. L. Evans, the railroad's'
section master, heard the noise of his
handcar near his house about I:.'H)
Wednesday morning, He immediately
investigated and saw three men push
ing the Ismail car loaded with wh;«t he
thought at that time to be four suit
cases, later learning that he had mis
taken the four safe rollers for the
hundles on suitcases. The section mas
ter commanded the three men to halt,
but his command was not noticed, the"*"
robbers continuing to push the car up
the track. When Mr. Evans ft reel a
load of shot into the group, the three
men gave the car one hard push and
swiftly fled, the car stopping 150
yards away.
The station agent, Mr. O. 0. Carson,
was notified and he with the section
master started to recover the safe,
the agent first going to the store u>
get shells. The agent and the store
owner found that the shop had been
entered, but made no check of th-
loss there at that time but continued
to the station where they found the
robbers had been and removed the
safe. Officers were notified and a
search was started immediately. At
the Wig llurdison grade crossing,
three miles this side of Jamesville, the
searchers found where an automobile,
with a peculiar tire track, had turn
ed around. Following,the track, the
officers came toward Williamstoit un
til they reached. Holly Spring church.
Turning at that point, the officers fol
lowed the track down by the Sfcaton
mill on to the Washington high
way at Mr. W. L. Taylor's crossing,
the searchers later tracing the car to
the Biggs school house on down the
Bear Grass road. The track turned in
the road leading to the Washington
highway just this side of Bear Grass.
Traffic had covered the tracks a short
distance dawn that road, and officers
began to inquire along the router At
the home of Mrs. Tom Revels they
asked what time her son-in-law, Lu
