LESS THAN 1,000
MILK COWS IN
MARTIN COUNTY
Number Is Much Lower
Than Average for
State "
SUGGEST CREAMERY
Pew Dairies in County Are Located
Near Towns; 190 More High-
Grade Cows Needed
There are less than a thousand milk
cows in Martin County. The counties
of the State will average a far greater
number. Butter and other milk prod
ucts arc shipped into our confines for
our consumption. This means hun
dreds of thousands of dollars going out
each year for butter and milk prod
ucts. A few persons near our larger
towns are keeping u ;ows for profit.
However, there is little profit in these
adventures to what the cows could be
made to pay if a creamery, consisting
of probably SIO,OOO investment, were
established. .
. 5, 7 *
While fanners, hard pressed by the
crop failures of this year, are looking
about for something to diversify their
activity with a better chance at mak
ing money, it would be wise to inves
tigate this means. There will be no
means of control of production, in
creasing quantity or reducing it rea
sonably, little means of providing milk
inspection, and guaranteeing its clean
liness until the production of it is start
ed as a local business and put upon a
sound business basis. The dairy men
of our cities for the sake of thij and
other people's children pasteurize and
otherwise regulate the sanitation of
milk products. per cent of
the children of otar county dwell near
(he cities, however. It appears that
100 additional highly bred milk cows on
f well-established creamery route cen
tering the business in some town of
the county would be a paying invest
ment and productive of health.
JUDGE TALKS ON
CRIME INCREASE
•——
Tills Beaufort Jury Viola
tion of School Law Is •>
One Reason
"Fifteen years ago, if a white man
vu indicted'in your county for lar-j
eenjr the MM would have created a
Miuation," Judge N. A. Sinclair said
in Ma charge to a Beaufort County
grand Jury in Washington recently.
nobody seems to pay any at
tention to it. This apparent indiffer- j
ence on the part of the public should
be corrected."
Continuing hia charge ithe judge
said, "A few years back, there were
around 800 men in the State prison.
Today there are 2,300. This la in
dicative of the increase in crime in
our State.
"In my connection with criminal'
law violation and enforcement, I can
mention two or three things which
contribute to the crime increase. One
of theae condition! ia fundamental.
We have a compulsory school law in
North Carolina, but the law ia not
being enforced the way it should be.
Somebody ia being neglectful in his
doty, and it ia up to the grand juries
to ascertain whether this negligence
' exists in their countiea. I have yet to
aae one ease where a young white
man ia indicted for theae deplorable
ciint* and where it la shown that he
haa gone through high school. Most
of them either cannot read and write
at nil, or elae they left school when
in the third or fourth grades.
"We are living in a fast age and
wo ahould consider the conditions un
der which our boys are growing up.
Bootleggers are plying their trade on
all aides and blind tigers are running
mora or laaa openly. There are few
spots in North Carolina where slot
machines are not running wide open
and where boys have the habit of
gambling instilled in them. They hang
around country atons, around garages
and AUtag stations, loafing and get
ting into bad habits. They want
■MOT with which to buy liquor and
wife which to gamble. They consider
that the easiest way to get this money
is to steal, and when they start doing
that, they get into trouble. If a boy
ia kept in school, he doesnt have
much of a chance to get in with the
■- laafcr, good-for-nothing crowd of loaf
ers from which our criminals come."

MUSIC IS VERY GOOD
"Seek First Kingdom of God And His
Righteousness" Is Text; Offering
Goes To Orphanages
The Thanksgiving reason was fit
tingly observed here beginning with
Wednesday evening when union serv
ices were held in the Christian church.
Rev. C. H. Dickey was in charge, and
he made all announcements. Revs.
Petty, Piephoff and Marshall each
contributed a part to the splendid
services. Rev. A. R. Marshall sang
the old English Thanksgiving hymn.
An offering was taken for the orphan
ages of the several churches repre
sented.
According to a custom started
several years ago, a minister from
one of the churches preaches the
settnon, and this year it was time for
the Episcopal minister, Rev. A. R.
Marshall, who chose as his text,
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and
Hfs Righteousness and all these things
wiU be udded unto thee." The sermon
was highly instructive and interest
in gto the iarge congregation as the
speaker traced the idea of thanks
giving through all the ages, giving
historal data, unusual in a sermon on
such an occasion. He brought the ideal
of thanksklving down to the present
time and applied it to the individual
as well as to the nation.
The musical selections were ap
propriate and beautiful.

DISLOCATESJAW
BY WIDE YAWN
Negro of Near Statesville
Has Unusual Accident
Twice in One Day
Thomas Simonton, a colored res
ident of the Poplar .Branch commun
ity, 65 years of age, finds that yawn
ing brings disastrous results having
suffered a dislocated jaw twice Tues
day wliile enjoying tljis apparently
hantfless and very exhilarating do
mestic diversion.
While at his home Tuesday moil
ing, Simonton was seized with the
desire to yawn, and when he stretch
ed out his arms and opened wide his'
mouth, the low jaw bone flew out of
place and he found that closing his
mouth was impossible. He had the
joint set at the Davis hospital, and
went hack to his home.
Tuesday night, feeling drowsy after
becoming warm following hours con
tact with the damp, cold atmosphere
that had hovered over this locality for
several days, the aged man was seiz
ed with an uncontrollable desire to
yawn, and when the aperture to his
vocal organs again assumed its max
imum size and capacity, the jaw bone
flew out of place again and the same
trouble was to do over.. With his
mouth >j>en as wide as the muscles
of the lower jaw would permit, the
aged man went through the night
hoping in vain that his ma.stifatory
organ might assume its normal posi
tion. This morning, after spending
hours without being able to take any
nourishment except liquid, Simonton
went back to the hospital and had the
dislocated joint reset. He\was resting
comfortably about noom , today.—

line, the final whistle ending the game
