Later in the years to come, When age piles up on me some, I hope Pll be as sweet and gay As you are on this eventful day. May my life be like another, And people will say she's like her grandmother. That would be all the praise I'd crave, Then I'd know that Fd behaved. To me you're very dear, And you hatfe my love on your eighty first year. An Ac know ledg ment I wish to express my appreciation - to "the people of Martin County for the splendid vote they gave me as a candidate for the State Senate in Saturday's primary and to assure them that I shall endeavor to merit it by serving them and the State to the best of my ability.

HUBERT COBURN DePriest Fails To Get A Vote In County Saturday The few Republican voters in this county apparently took Mr. George W. DePriest'* name to heart last Sat urday when they ignored him- in his race for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate. The man did not poll a single vote in the entire county, one of the few times that a man with his name ,on a ticket in this county did not poll a single vote. y, Mr. DePriest's opponent, Jake F. Newell, polled 17 votes in the county, 3 in Jamesville; one in Griffins; 2 in Bear Grass; 5 in Williamston; 5 in Robersonville and one in Gold Point.

FAIL TO HOLD PRECINCT MEETS County Convention Will Be Held In Courthouse Next Saturday at 2 O'clock As far as it could be learned here this morning, no precinct meetings were held in this county yesterday aft ernoon as scheduled, the organization of the committees and work of the bodies apparently being of little inter est to the voters. The meeting in Bear Grass was post poned until next Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, when the work of the organization will be handled by the voters, it was announced yesterday afternoon by Mr. A. B. Rogerson, the chairman there. Next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the county convention will be held in the county courthouse, provided the precincts perfect organizations by that time and select their committeemen. Delegates to the State convention will be chosen at that time, County Chair man E. S. Peel announced, and a com paratively large number of precinct representatives is expected here to take part. NEGRO IS SHOT AS HE ATTEMPTS TO ENTER HOME (Continued from page one) where they found Mordecai and arrest ed him. He was bleeding badly about the face and arm where two bullets struck him. Thought to be in a dying condition, Mordecai was removed to Dr. J. H. Rhodes' office for treatment The negro refused to talk at first and it could not be learned who shot him." A few minutes later Mr. Harrison reported the attempted burglary and the shoot ing, and after his wounds were dress ed, Mordecai was placed in jail. Upon questioning hipi, officers Were told that Charlie Garfield, a Robersonville negro, was connected with him, he (Garfield) had entered the Hodges home and was present at the Harri son home when an attempt to enter was made there. Garfield was arrested at his home in Robersonville a few minutes later by Officers Gray and Vick, but he vig orously denied his alleged connection with the crime. Mr. Hodges, reporting the breath taking burglary at his home, said he heard the man entering the window, that he' made no effort to block the intruder. He watched the man search . liis trousers-pocket and remove a small amount of change and then leave the bedroom, going so close to the bed that he could put his hand on him. When the intruder left, police were notified, Mr. Hodges later stating that the negro breathed heavily indicating fear. He also admitted that he took some deep breaths® as the intruder prowled around in the bedroom. The man only searched one pocked, leav l ing about ten dollars in- bills in the I other one. Four quarters, a dime and I a penny were found in Mordecai's ! shoes when officers searched him. I.eaviiiK the Hodges home, Morde -4 cai. is belie-ved to have hurried to the Harrison home where he first entered the back porch and found a chair which he used later to reach the win -1 dow. Mr. Harrison heard him and j reached for his automatic pistol. A few seconds passed and Mordecai aft er finding his way to the window was j heard removing the screen. Mr. Har: ! rison waited no longer, but opened ' fire upon the intruder, two of the five : shots taking effect. Many local homes Iwve been enter- I ed during the past few\ weeks, and it ; is believed that Moredcfei, assisted by ■ one or two others, has been commit -1 ting the crimes. It was reported that j Montecahadmitted- entering the home* ' of Bob Taylor and Stacy Cox more . than a week ago. but that he denied I entering the Hodges homes, claiming that he was on watch while Garfield I went there to rob. In jail today. Mordecai was said to have two chances, one to die and one I to recover, that he was resting fairly well at the time. THE ENTERPRISE SIDE LIGHTS ON THE PRIMARY ■» (Continued from front page) car that morning, she thought the Reynolds supporters had borrowed it to haul\ voters to the polls. It was a safe assumption, probably, but when the primary was over, the car was still missing. But, to tell the truth, there was so much hauling going on by supporters of many candidates that one hardly understands how they got along without the extra car. Up in Poplar Point, Reynolds and Morrison supporters are said to have canvassed most of tfte voters three times and some even more than that. However, Registrar Slade White and his assistants allowed only one vote to each qualified elector there. The dual race for United States Senator caused much confusion throughout the county, and it is too bad that there will be more confusion from it in the second primary. A goodly number of voters favored one candidate for the short term and then, to divide the honors, voted for another for the long term. But that was their inherent right to do so. Down in Jamesville the counters are said to have gotten tangled up in their count and found it advisablt to make a sec ond one, delaying the final returns from that precinct until about 3:30 o'- clock Sunday mprning. Over in Halifax County a man named Long, was running for an office. His opponent had some cards print ed with the following wording: "It wont be Long now." The result there has not been learned here. The polls closed at 7:15, and the returns were eagerly watched U|ntil sunrise Sunday morning. FINAL RITES FOR ROBT. EVERETT ARE HELD HERE ♦ (Continued from page one) afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. C.

Collins, E. S. Carter, J. F. Barnes, H. Weathersby, J. W. Carr, J. P. Stimson, and F. Belknap, all of whom were his fellow conductors and engineers of the Coast Line. I here were about 40 honorary pall-bearers, here for the last rites. A large floral offering was made marking the friend ship-in which he was held by his many friends. BAPTISTS HOLD UNIQUE SERVICE HERE SUNDAY —*— (Continued from the front page) songs all expressed praise to the life pf a good woman. The congregation al songs were the old spiritual hymns of Mrs. Biggs' selection. Bruce Wynn, superintendent of the Sunday school, read a tribute from the school for the great work Mrs. Biggs has done for the Sunday school. Mrs. B. S. Courtney read a paper from the women's organizations of the church, expressing their gratitude for her Miss Rebecca Harrison brought an expression of love from the young people of the church. Mr. Dickey, pastor, talked on behalf of the church, expressing the gratitude of its membership for the beautiful and useful life Mrs. Biggs has spent in her 81 years of service. James E. Harrell presented Mrs. Biggs with a I beautiful basket of roses, a gift of the church membership. Sextoin and Daniel Win In Two Township Contests Clarence Sexton and H. O. Daniel were successful in their races for con-1 stable in their respective precincts 1 last Saturday, Jamesville giving Sex ton 244 votes over Jos. H. Holiday's 112 there.
