WILLIAMSTON, N. C. WELFARE WORK UNIT, PROBLEM • (Continued from page one) county for the coming winter, but | hardly enough to go around when the needy make their loud tfall for bread. With these conditions existing, an organized county- welfare unit and units in each of the ten townships are vitally necessary, A sane discussion of the matter should be arranged by the county authorities, many of those acquainted with conditions believe. If the'authorities can do let, let them ad vance some method other than tl\e county-wide organization plan for han dling welfare work this coming win ter.- If they can not, then let them create a welfare department that what ever aid is made available be equally among Martin County's needv. Foid Dealers Hold District Meeting Here Yesterday tFord dealers from several towns in this section held a district meeting in the Atlantic Hotel here yesterday aft- ernoon.

BAPTISTS HOLD MEETING HERE ——•— (Continued from Page One) iin the corners, or on the door steps 'and lawn with place in hand and coffee cup reposing on the groufid near by. Barbecue wps served with hot coffee, and all the usual accompaniments and accessories. The delegates were' abund antly served and during the lunch hour many old acquaintances were renewed and new acquaintances formed. After lunch was served, the dele gates were registered and given their assignments to the various homes in the city. The pastor of the local" church remarked to the "Enterprise his deep appreciation of the >vay in which the people of Williamston, irrespective of denominational affiliation, had volun teered their -homes for the entertain ing of the delegates. After the conclusion ~tjf the after- noon session, at about 3:30 o'clock, the registered delegates were taken to ffieir homes by an escort of Boy" Scouts. But they will return to the ; Woman's club for supper. Today's afternoon program which | began at 1:30 o'clock was featured by an address from Doctor Charles K. |Madlry, Raleigh, who is General | Secretary of all Baptist work in this j State. The remainder of the time was taken up with reports and short ad dresses and matters of routine busi ness. The evening session wilj be called to order by the Moderator, Mr. John | T. Coley, at 7 o'clock. The choir of the local church will be in its place, with Mrs. Warren H. Biggs at the organ.

It is expected that the auditorium of the church building will be filled to overflowing tonight, with all the wings opened for the large gathering of local people, and those from a dis tance. The general public is invited to all the sessions, and the evening hour offers an opportunity to the townspeople that most of them could . not enjoy at the day session. | The high light on the evening pro | gram is the address of Mr. Raymond THE ENTERPRISE COTTON GINS DOING LITTLE Majority of Farmers Are Holding What Cotton They Have The handling, of the lowly peanut during the past few days has limited other farm activities in this county, ac- reports coming from cot ton ginn£*(»r Several gins are now operating only a few hours each day in this county, and no great part of the 1931 crop has been ginned so far, it was stated by a local ginner this week.' * There is an admitted acreage reduc tion in Martin this year, and the poundage is understood to be lighter per acre this year than it was last in many cases. Most of the crop is'cen tered around here and the upj>er part of the county, but no large production is expected. Hoping for better prices, farmers are said to be holding their cotton as a rule, a bale or two every now and then going at the record low price. Many farmers are trading their seed for cottonseed meal, which they will; use for fertilizer next spring, or for feed, it was stated. EIGHT BEAUFORT FARMERS OPPOSE SPECIAL SESSION (Conti/iued from page one) where farmers are unable to finance their operation*. In other words, .it ' lonks as if the |>oor man is going '° lie out of the race, for he will, out of necessity, reduce his crop, and the ablj farmer will main, ami probably in r;,crease, his acreage to reap the re ward. | No (special session of tlie North , Carolina legislature is in sight just . 1 now. Gardner in . the interest of a special I session. * It is a tangled affair, this idea for ; ' a special session to limit cotton and tobacco acreage. Martin farmers ex .' pressed their desire for some kind of J legislative action. Beaufort, a neigh ' bor, opposes legislative action. And I the whole thing is, even more tangled when it is learned that the Beaufort | commissioners favor a special session I and Beaufort farmers do .not favor ac : tion. According to general reports re | reived from various sources, -acreage i ordinarily planted, to cotton and to -1 bacco in this county next spring will be considerably less than it was last spring. Hut the reports indicate that the limited acreage will result mainly Christian Aid Society To Serve A Turkey Supper | The Ladies' Aid Society of the lo cal Christian church will haye a tur in the Woman's club hall Tuesday key and oyster supper and apron sale I October 20.

The experiments show that fertiliz ers containing 3 to 4 per cent nitro gen, 8 percent available phosphoric acid, and 8 to 10 per cent potash pro duce the best results. Many growers in the early producing area in Curri tuck County have adopted the new formula with excellent results. Because of this, the test* are now being made in four additional counties. The grow ers find that tie new mixtures give less injury to young plant, permit bet ter stands, and produce larger yields j with consequent higher profits.
