Road Measure After
Lengthy Debates

The Connor Road Bill, providing
State maintenance of all county roads,
was pasted in the legislature this week
but it'll be the first of next month be
fore ha passage is generally known, for
at that time the gasoline tax jumps
from five to six cents per gallon. All
gasoline now in storage in the State
and all future shipments will carry the
increased tax.
No announcement has been made by
oil compaineffas to whether they will
(nalce a priw change on the first of
April or not. All revenue resulting
from gasoline will go into the road
fund, four cents for State highway use
and two cents for the upkeep of the
county roads.
The details of the road }>ill are not
fully known at this time, but it is un
derstood that road operations in the
various districts will be handled by
the present road commissioners or
trustee* until or probably a short while
after July 1, the date the State is
scheduled to take active charge. How
ever, the additional gas tax goes into
effect April 1.
The bill, recently enacted into law
by the North Carolina General As
sembly, closely follows the major re
commendations of a report just pub
lished by the United State bureau of
public roads following an investiga
tion of the financing and administra
tion of county road work in North
Carolina. _
The major recommendations of the
public roads bureau were: Limiting of
expenditure of gasoline taxes return
ed to the counties for the construction
and maintenance of the county roads,
avoidance of further increases in tax
levies until a financial plan can be
developed for road improvement based
on traffic importance and a pooling
of convict labor forces and road ma
chinery.
The connor bill law create* a new
sible to file application* for the relief
for »U(( maintenance of all county
road* lod »et» up a system for work
ing convict labor on road*. State
maintenance al*o provide* for tiie state
to take over all county highway ma
chinery. The district iy*tem i* abolish
ed and the construction of road*
"baaed on traffic importance" is*to be
followed.
County maintenace of road* waa
condemned in the *urvey. This investi
gation revealed, it *ay* that under the
county and township organisation*,
road fund* are, in many instances,
expended without regard to traffic im
portance of the particular road* im

Superior Court Hears Many
Criminal And Civil Causes
GRAND JURORS
MAKE REPORT
TO THE COURT
—• —
Make Several Recommen
dations; Inspect All
School Trucks
Directed by Judge W. C. Harris,
presiding officer of the current term
of Martin County Superior Court, the
grand jury made a thorough- investiga
tion of the county offices, county home,
and all school trucks, the
finding conditions in some cases bad.
in others fair, and still others okeh.
The jury offered a number of recom
mendations, directing the home agent
to visit the county home at least once
each month and act as dietitian. Sev
eral of the school trucks were found
to be in bad condition and repairs were
reported necessary.
The report, addressed to Judge Har
ris, reads:
We have examined and passed on
all cases placed before us for consid
eration.
We have examined all the county
offices and found them in good condi
tion. The jail is in good condition,
and the prisoners are well cared for.
We fourttt. tfie -ctfunty home in fair
condition, and the food is well pre
pared, but we recommend that the
home agent, Miss Lora Sleeper, visit
the home at least once each month
and act as dietitian.
We have examined the various of
ficers' bonds and recommend that the
commissioners require corporate surety
in all cases. We learned that the
treasurer holds depository bonds from
banks in wheih sheriff's and treasur
er's funds are deposited.
Reports were received from Justices
of the Peace James E. Roberson, jr.,

Report on Tracks
The real work of the jury members
was the inspection of thirty-four school
erucks. Dividing themselves into
groups, the jury members completed
'the work in one day, finding condi
tions bad, fair, and good. The report
indicates negligence on the part of
drivers and the various principals.
However, strict economy has been
practiced, and that, in part, is believed
to be responsible for some of the ex
isting conditions.

COMPLETED ALL
CRIMINAL CASES
LAST TUESDAY
Court Now Working On A
Baffling Case Involving
Ownership of Land
The wheels of the superior court in
session here this week have been op
erating rapidly under the direction oi
Judge W, C. Harris, turning out aU
criminal cases Monday and Tuesday
and clearing a large number of causes
from the civil docket.
As a whole the criminal proceedings
have been of as little consequence as
any group of cases scheduled for trial
in a Martin County court in many
mouths. Proceedings recorded since
Tuesday morning:
The case, charging Jane Powell with
larceny, was continued.
E. J. Edwards, tailing to answer
Monday, in the case charging him
with an assault with a deadly weapon,
entered the court Tuesday and pleaded
guilty. Judge Harris sentenced him
to State's Prison for two years, the
sentence to run concurrently with a
former one of eighteen months OHI the
roads. The second sentence was im
posed by Judge Harnhill when Ed
wards was found guilty of larceny of
peanuts.
N. S. (iodard, charged with seduc
tion, failed to answer.
Osxie Crowell was found guilty of
simple assault and was fined $lO and
| taxed with the costs. A 30-day jail
sentence was suspended.
Johnson Corey was fined SSO and
taxed with the costs for operating a
car while under the influence of liquor.
He. was givena twelve months road
sentence, suspended upon his good be
havior.
Will Worley was sentenced to pri
son for not less than eighteen months
and not more than four years when
he pleaded guilty in the case charg
ing him with house breaking.
Capias was issued and the case con
tinued in which Mote Mills and Fur
ney Coley were charged with an as
sault with a deadly weapon.
James Bullock and Harry J. Jones
pleaded guilty of larceny of less than
S2O, the court imposing a SSO fine and
one-half the costs as to Bullock. Judg
ment as to Jones was suspended upon
his paying the costs.
The grand jury failed to find a true
bill in the ca it charging Julian Rober
son, Linwopd Roberson /and Mayo
Wynn witfi house breaking and lar
ceny. —v/
The following cases were nol proa
sed:
I Hugh Jones, assault, operating a
car while intoxicated and resisting an
[officer.
Robert Neal, Jr., Kelly Neal and
Sam Stephenson, larceny.
Golden Godard, cruelty to animals.
T. S. Hadley, house breaking and
larceny and receiving.
Joe Wiggins, abandonment and non
support.
H. D. Rogers, seduction.
j The civil docket continues as dry asj
ever, attracting about the usual size
crowds. Several cases have been re
affirmed and one divorce has been
| granted. The proceedings up until
this morning:
| The case of Roebuck against bond
ing company having been heard and
the judgment confirmed by the State (
I Supreme Court, it was reaffirmed and j
ordered off the docket. The old Mar
tin County Savings and Trust
pany was Roebuck's guardian. The,
bank failed, and Roebuck started suit,
to recover amount of money held by,
bank. Judge Moore held the surety j
| company liable, the Supreme Courts
'confirmed the judgment, and the court 1
| this week re-affirmed it.
! The case of Coburn, against stock
holders was ordered off the docket.
, Divorce was granted in the case of
Catherine Smith against Jasper
Smith.
Defedants were charged with the
costs when the case of John T. Daniel,
executor of the Jno. T. Hyman estate,
against W. E. Davenport et als., heirs
at law, was dismissed.
! Former judgment of the court hav
ing been confirmed by the Supreme
Court, the case of Fannie M. Peel a
gainst Corey et als was re-affirmed.
Farmers and Merchants Bank vs.
Jesse Keel, non suit resulted, nunc
pro-tunc (without investiga
tion or something to that effect.)
I J. S. Peel v*. J. A. Warren, case
compromised, the ca*e going off the
'docket with the defendants paying the
cost.
The case of J. E. King and others
against Town of Williamston in con
nection with an old paving restraining
order, was settled and ordered off the
docket. •. , j -
The case of Janfes S. Peel againit
Mrs. W. P. Bowen wa* compromised,
the defendant paying the costs.
Case of New York Cordage com
(Coatimed om peg* tow)
FEW VETERANS
RECEIVE MONEY
Adequate Supply of Appli
cation Blanks Available
At Local Postoffice
The number of veterans applying for
government loans here is inci'easing
almost daily, but the number receiving
checks continues very small. A new
supply of application blanks has been
received by the local postoffice, and
there'll hardly be another storage, it
is believed.
The checks received here so far will
not number more than a dozen, it is
believed. Reports from other sections
indicate that the loan money is pouring
into the pockets of the vets by the
hundred of dollars.
Veterans, failing to apply for their
insurance policies until recently, were
'disappointed this week when they
learned that they could not borrow
on their policies. The law makes it
necessary for a policy to be at least
two years old before a loan can be
I negotiated. There arc very few vets
however, who did not file their
applications for a policy several years
[ago. „
URGE LIMITED
TOBACCO CROP
Reports Indicate, However,
That Border Sections
Will Increase
Realizing a mutual benefit to be
! derived front small production, ban
kers, merchants and manufacturers in
many parts of Eastern Carolina arc
visiting the many tobacco growers-and
jurging them to limits their acreages
|this year. Organized efforts have been
'made in some sections, it is under
stood.
It is said that it is better to make
a profit on unc acre than it is to lose
money on two acres.
Recent reports from the border
country indicate that there'll be in in
crease in tobacco acreage in those
parts this year. Conflicting reports
have been made in many of the coun-
ties in this section, some indicating
thaf there'll lie an increase, and some
indicating that there'll be a decrease.
No great change either way is expect
ed in this county.

Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce Asks Members To Stand
By Mac Lean Bill Supporters
Failing in open warfare to have
favorable legislation for big corpora
tions continued, some of the wealthy
members in the North Carolina Legis
lature who oppose the Mac Lean
School Bill are said to he forming a
movement in an effort to freeze out
the. less fortunate members that are
not iii a position to remain in Kaleigli
indefinitely at their own expense. That
the starvation tactics advanced by
these certain wealthy legislators might
he defeated, Eastern Carolina Chamber
of Commerce officials are cal.ing upon
the various county commissioners who
are favorable toward the Mac Lean
Bill to arrangements whereby the pro
ponents, of the bill might continue at
their posts. .
In a letter this week to Mr. I). G.
Matthews, a member of the trade bo
dy, an official stated:
"The proponents of the bill are very
much exercised over this situation and
it was suggested to*us that we write
each of our County members to imme
diately get in touch with your Coun
ty Commissioners and have them gua
rantee to pay the actual expenses of
the Representatives and Senators from
their counties who are favorable to the
McLean bill it they are called upon to
do so. It is estimated that th.s can all
be done within two or three weeks and
the expenses will not he more than
$11)0.00 per man."
A majority of the senators and re
presentatives will find it possible to re
main there at their own expense, hut
there are a few who will .find it dif
ficult to do so. It is stated that the
members who are fighting for trust
protection will he able to bang oil all
the summer at somebody's expense.
Information coming from Raleigh
states that the game will he to starve
out the senators and representatives
who are standing for the people.
It was pointed out in the letter
directed to Mr. Matthews that there
are some members who have very little
income, that they are losing their time
and business at home, and that the
county should come to their rescue.
Similar appeals are being directed to
other counties, it was pointed out, and
it is believed that if there is any starv-'
ing, but rich and |>«>or in the assembly
will share alike.
The matter has not been placed be
fore the county officials here, and it
is not known that it will be, hut the
people are behind their representatives
and will accord them any support
needed.
