A short historical sketch written by Edward L. Conn, it is believed, will be of much interest to our readers, and we are in serting the sketch with the promise that other material carried in the is sue will be reprinted as conditions per mit. The sketch follow^; "Hawks, the North Carolina histor ian, relates the adventures Jf"iYl"ex pedition in 1586 from Sir Walter Ra leigh's colony at Roanoke'lsland un der the command of Sir Ralph Lane which ascended the Roanoke River, then bearing its ordinal name of Mor * ® otoc, to explore the country and to starch for gold. A landing was made where Williamston now stands, so that it was here that the soil of Martin was first pressed by the feet of the con quering race, it was many years there after before settlements were establish ed by the white men. Emigrants from the Chowan and Perquimans precincts, coming across Albemarle Sound, locat ed in Martin and the adjoining coun ties. Prior to the Wit' of the Rev olution many of the wealthy citizens of the town of Edenton and the county of Chowan owned large plantations on f the Roanoke in Martin and Bertie Counties, among them !>eing Governor Johnson. Subsequently a considerable company of these men made their home in Martin County. The annals of the Revolution are replete with accounts of the distinguishing services of these patriots. In both civil and military life their conduct was exemplary, and their scions today are among the best citizens of the county. "Williamston was incorporated in , # 779, and was made the county teat of Martin just after the ratification of the charter of incorporation, taking its name from Asa Williams. In its early history It was the center of extensive lumber and naval stores interests. Its merchants exported tar, stave*, and shingles to the West Indies and im ported sugar, salt and molasses. Be ing the farthest inland point its trade with the surrounding counties in these . commodities was large and profitable. Among the prominent merchants of * that day were the Hunters, Yellow byt, Bagleys, Johnsons, and McKen seys, and in a later period Asa Wil liams, Kader Biggs, C. B. Hassell, and Rhodes Brothers. Among their contemporaries in the legal profession, Hon. Asa Biggs was the most highly distinguished, having served as a mem ber of the National House of Repre sentatives,' United States Senator, and Federal Judge. A widely known and revered man of that period was C. B. Hassell, an elder in the Primitive.. Bap tist church and moderator of their as sociation. Hit influence was to dom inating that he was frequently called by his friends "the Baptist Pope." In his old age, at the demand of the peo ple, oppressed by the enforcement of laws placed upon them by the Canby constitution, he became a candidate for the constitutional convention in 1875, and, though the county was largely Republican, was elected, Martin being the only Republican county electing a Democrat, giving the Democrata a ma jority of one in the convention. He began the writing of the history of the Primitive Baptist Church, but death claiming him before its completion, the work was (misled by Elder Sylves tei Hassell. Many say that C. B.

Lamb. .Other companies were subse quently muttered and the county fur nished her full quota of trotfps.

FORMER CITIZEN HERE ON VISIT Mack Nicholson Returns After Absence of 60 Years Returning here for the first time in 50 years, Mr. Mack Nicholson, a form er resident of the town, talked inter estingly of the old times in and around Williamston. When only a small lad, he started work in the office of the Williamston Expositor, the first news paper ever published in the county as far as it can be learned. Mr. Nichol son stated that the paper was operated fcy Amelic Williams, one of the coun t's leading citizens at that time. Telling how he got the job, Mr. Nicholson stated that the delivery boy, W. L. (Bill) Johnson, failed to delivef a paper to a Mr. Cherry and that he was sent for the copy. While calling for the paper, Mr. Nicholson was sized up by the foreman, a man by the name 01 Askew, who offered him the ji>b. He started in the newspaper business in March, 1866, and after working for a year with the Epositor he sought an education. John Knight offered him five months' schooling for five months' work on a farm, and after completing his course of study he went to Tar boro by the old stage road to work for the Southerner, then edited by Cap tain William Biggs. After a stay of three years in that town, he moved to Norfolk, where he was with one of the papers there for five years. Leav ing that town he went to New York and worked on one of the nation's largest dailies for a period of eight years. Returning to Norfolk in 1884 he worked again with the paper there about three years before gojng to Cin cinati to work on the Evening Post. For 30 years, Mr. Nicholson has held tne position of proof-reader on that paper, which now has a daily circu lation of around 200,000. Mr. Nicholson takes much delight in showing a picture of himself, his daugh It r, a granddaughter, and a great* grandson snapped on his 77th birthday, October 20, 1928. He recalled many of the events hap pening during the Civil War period. He saw the Confederate ram "Albe marle" steam down the Roanoke from Hymans Ferry to rout the Yankees at Plymouth. Happenings connected with the recapture of Plymouth were described, Mr. Nictiolson stating that many articles were taken and tliat some sugar was brought here, the first he had seen in three years. Although he has been away from the State for over a half century, Mr. Nicholson says he is atill a Tar Heel. Whil»; here Mr. Nicholson is the guest of Mr. W. H. Gurkin." BOY, 15, CAUGHT MAKING LIQUOR # " Raymond Bowen Admits Ownership When Caught At Still Near Here It was a pathetic story told by Ray mond L. Bowen, 15 years old, follow ing his capture at a liquor still near the home of his father, Lawrence Bowen, last Wednesday. Unassisted, the lad was busily firing the still when the officers raided the plant. At a hear ing held here that evening, the boy stated he was the sole owner and operator of the 100-gallon capacity li quor plant with a copper still. Bond was fixed in the sum of S3OO. Expecting but little compensation for firing a tobacco barn during the long hours of the night, the lad centered his thoughts on the manufacture of li quor. He was operating on a very small scale, using only one bag of sugar and a small quantity of other ingredi ents necessary in the manufacture of the spirits. While the lad was a bit nervous, he met his predicament with manly characteristics and readily an swered all questions. A warrant connecting the boy's luther with the ownership and opera tion of the still has been issued. Contract Is Let For Removing Hotel Porch Following anagreement made be tween town officials and the owners, a contract was let yesterday for the removal of the Britt Hotel porch on the Main Street here.

MARTIN LOSES TWO TO BERTIE Errors Costly in Games Played Wednesday and Thursday After winnihg the first two games of the post-season series with the Ber tie County team, the Martin County boys proceeded to show their worst form of the season to drop the contest:*, Wednesday and Thursday to the boys from over the river. The game Wednesday, which was a veritable comedy of errors, was finally won by the Bertie team, after the lead had see-sawed back an 4 forth for the greater part of the afternoon, at a score' variously estimated at from 11 to 8 to 16 to 11; no one seeming to know the official score. Although Martin out hit Bertie, 15 to 13, they made 9 er rors, which tells thej whole story. Thursday's game, played here, was little better. There was more excuse for losing tbis contest, however, as practically every member of the Mar tin infield was suffering'lrom injuries of one sort or another; and, too, Hog gard—pitching for Bertie—had "plenty on the ball, and Martin made hut five hits off him. , Cherry- pitched for the locals, and although the visitors made but 9 hits, they were so well inter spersed with errors that practically every one figured in the scoring. The series is now tied at two-all, with Martin County scheduled to go to Windsor Monday and Bertie to come here Tuesday. The series will continue until one team has won four ganres, Bertie is now . without the services of their crack shortstop, Whitehead, v.ho left Wednesday' for Detroit to join the Tygers for a try-out during the remainder of the season.

Bass, of South Boston, Va., will arrive next week, preparatory to the market opening Sep tember 3," they continued. Both Mr. Barnhill and Mr. Ingrain ate, well known to the farmers of this section. Mr. Barnhill was connected with the office force of the Farmers Warehouse last year and the year be fore, and this season he will assist Mr. Ingram on the sales. Mr. Ingram, a veteran warehouseman and tobacconist, has been on the market lure as a buyer during the past several years. These two men have formed a strong partnership, and they are mak ing a strong bid lor patronage this season. 'V , Mr. Bass, the auctioneer, is a vet eran in the business, having had ex perience on the largest markets in this State and on leading markets in Geor gia.

Arthur Lee Daniel, Lewis Johnson, and his wife, all of Rosemary, were arrested at the entl of the tliase near Hamilton, and their car,-a Dodge roadster, with quantity of liquor whs confiscated. Starting about six miles out on the Washington road, the chase tarried numerous thrills ami much excitement for the runners, onlookers, and the agents, F. E. Street, ). H. Roebuck and son, Warren. Around 60 miles an hour the two cars traveled, hardly slow ing up to pass through the streets here. Once, at the warehouses here, they narrowly escaped a wreck when they attempted to pass the Dodge. Reaching Haughton Street, the chas ers faced a bad dust screen, but in' spite of that they continued close be hind the runners. At one time, the officers barely missed effecting the ar rest nf the trio, and their failure gave tire runners a greater lead. On through Hamilton the chase continued, anil it was beginning to look as if one of those endurance tests was in order.» The Dodge developed .engine trouble, and the runners started throwing off liquor to lighten the load. Their efforts proved worthless, for the officers made the arrests with five galons of lilpior in the car. Eight gallons were lost when the containers broke and five others were recovered all along the road, the containers withstanding the jar as they were thrown from the cat Returning here about 7:30 o'clock that evening, the officers provided a hearing for their prisoner*, the John-? sons furnishing bond and Daniel going to jail in default of bond. According to the reports, the liquor was purchased in Beaufort County and was scheduled for delivery in Rose mary and Wcldon.
