THE ENTERPRISE
VOLUME XXXVI—NUMBER 9
PROCEEDINGS IN
MARTIN COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT
Sentence of George Bailey
Changed from 18 Months
To One Year by Judge
The March term of Martin County
Superior Court, convening here Mon
day of last week for the trial of both
criminal and civil cases, was brought
to a close yesterday by Judge R.
Hunt Parker.
Completing the criminal docket on
Tuesday, the court turned its atten
tion to the trial of civil cases, but in
only a few instance* did cases reach
the jury. More non-suits and mis
trials resulted during the three days
than at any term in years.
The court reconsidered the sen
tence imposed on George Bailey, the
young man connected with the rob
bery of the Harrison Wholesale Com
pany here, and ordered him impris
oned for not less than one year nor
more than two years. The sentence
first imposed was for not less than 18
months and not more than three
years.
A few other criminal cases were
cleared from the docket, as follow*:
The case charging J*:k Brown with
housebreaking and larceny was nol
prossed. A simSar result was re
ported in the case charging Hubert
Clark with embezzlement.
The case charging H. G. Parker
with embezzlement was continued.
Albert Wilson, colored boy, accused
of entering the B. F. Perry store here,
was discharged. Evidence was consid
ered insufficient to try him on the rob
bery charge. Judge Parker also dis
charged him from a six-months sus
pended sentence imposed by Judge
Frizelle on a housebreaking charge
last June. The action resulted when
the judge learned that the boy was
under 16 years of age when he was
tried hfst year, and he declared the
sentence was irregular.
The civil action brought by Jose
phine Child against Dr. E. P. Norfleet
was non-suited. The plaintiff was
asking damages resulting when her
husband was run down and killed by
the defendant's automobile.
A S7OO judgment was granted V,
G. Taylor in his case against W. E.
Street.
The case of Standard Fertilizer "Co.
against Sudie May was settled by
agreement, the records show, the
plaintiff receiving $1,067.88.
A non-suit resulted in the cue of
Lewi* H. Davit against Edward
James, and the plaintiffs appealed.
In the case of Gtorge A. Roberson
against J. A. Ellis, judgment was ren
dered against the defendant.
A mistrial resulted in the case of
J. S. Ayers and Company against
Harry Jones, and a referee wis ap
pointed.
The case of S. T. Griffin against W.
T. Meadows was continued.
A non-suit resulted in the case of
L. R. Donaldson against W. T. Bur
kett. An appeal was. noted.
Harrison Wholesale Company was
given a judgment in the sum of $314.22
against J. L. Brown.
A judgment favoring the plaintiff*
wa* returned in the case of Slade,
Rhode* & Co., v*. Henry Tanner and
Joe Purvi*.
The Seacoa*t Fertilizer Co. wa* a
warded a judgment in the sum of
$148.16 against T. S. Hadley and Z.

Meadow* and Berger was continued.
A verdict favoring the defendant was
returned in the caae of Standard Fer
tiliser Company against D. S. Mor
ri*. *
Action wa* dismissed in the case of
C. L. Leggett against the Federal
Land Bank.
A non-tuit resulted in the case of

A similar result wa* reported in the
ca*e of L. ft. Moore against Herbert

H. B. BELL DIED
AT HIS HASSELL
HOME TUESDAY
Buried There Wednesday in
Coffin Made By Himself
Eight Years Ago
H. B. Bell, Hassell citizen, died at
his home there last Tuesday and was
buried Wednesday in a coffin made
by himself. Mr. Bell, 88 years old,
had been in feeble health since about
1925, death being attributed to the in
firmities of age. He had been al
most an invalid for eight years.
Mr. Bell married three times, his
last wife and three children, Will Bell,
of Hassells, John Bell, of Gold Point,
and Mrs. Leda Downs, of Greenville,
surviving. His first wife died years
ago.
A mechanic and stone worker him
self, Mr. Bell back in 1925 believing
his end was near, made a coffin for
his own use. His second wife died
during the meantime, and she was
buried in the coffin intended for him.
He immediately made another coffin
in which he was buried this week.
When his wife died in 1925 he made
two tombstones, one for his departed
wife and one for himself. One of (he
stones was placed, and the other was
completed in detail, including the year
"1925", during which period he ex
pected to die. Friends persuaded him
to erase the last date when they as
sure him he had many more years
ahead of him, and that they would
have the date carved on the stone for
him. The old gentleman agreed, and
soon after he began to get better, he
married a third time.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. A. E. Purvis, of the Has
sell Christian Church, of which Mr.
Bell had been a member for many
years. Interment was in the Downs
Cemetery at Hassells.

LITTLE INTEREST
IN BEER SHOWN
BY LOCAL FOLKS
No Petition and Few Tele
grams Forwarded from
This Point to Raleigh
Despite rumors maintaining there
was an active drive under way in this
county for legalized beer, it was later
learned that Martin County citizens
are taking very little interest ih the
proposed legislation legalizing 3.2 per
cent brew. It was rumored that one
section had forwarded a petition car
rying 100 signatures to Representa
tive J. C. Smith, urging him to sup
port the beer legislation. Authentic
information received here blasted
those rumors.
Up to noon yesterday it was learned
that a few telegrams had been for
warded to the county representative in
the interest of beer, but the number
of such messages was limited to three
or four, it was said.
J. YV. Hines, of Oak City, said yes
terday noon that the citizens of that
community were giving little atten
tion to the proposed measure, but he
was sure Goose Nest Township, would
vote for beer if the opportunity pre
sented itself.
It was rumored that a petition would
be circulated here in the interest of
beer, but up until this morning no
such paper had been pushed into the
open or even heard of as an establish
ed fact.
The bill that would legalize beer in
this state was reported favorably to
the senate by committee this week,
but action on the measure has not
been taken. The wets are claiming a
majority favoring the proposed legis
lation; the drys, on the other hand,
claiming a majority against any such
legislation. Just when the legislature
will take a vote on the bill is not defi
nitely known at this time. However,
the Senate will probably consider the
bill this week.
Beer has been made legal by the
Federal Government, but that is only
effective in tfiose States where there
are no laws against the brew
The Senatf last night voted for brer
34 to 14 on the second reading. The
last and final reading is in order now,
and then the measure goes to the
House for consideration.
WATSON ADMITS
HE WAS GUILTY
Said To Have Confessed to
Warden Honeycut at
State's Prison
J. P, Watson, Roseboro merchant,
convicted in the Martin County Su
perior court here this week for the
receiving of cigarettes stolen from
Harrison Wholesale Company, is
said to have admitted he was guilty
of the crime as alleged during the
trial. Sheriff If Koebuck stated
that Watson admitted his guilt to
Warden Honeycutt at State's prison
last Wednesday afternoon. Watson is
said to Iwve asked the warden to for
get the parole, explaining that he got
drunk and bought stolen goods.
Watson, with T. C. Poole and Geo.
Hailcy, made the trip to Raleigh last
Wednesday afternoon in the company
of Sheriff C. B. Roebuck and Patrol
man Russell Braswell. Poole is said
to have warned the officers that he
was not going back to prison and
that they could epect trouble. No
trouble was encountered by the offi
cers, however.

WILL INSTRUCT
LISTERS MONDAY
Authorities Will Probably
Postpone Work for
a Few Weeks
Other than routine business, no mat
ters of importance have been sched
uled for consideration at the regular
monthly meeting of the Martin Coun
ty Hoard of Commissioners here next
Monday.
Instructions for tax listers are ex
pected at the meeting, but whether the
authorities will order the listers to
start work or wait a while longer is
to be determined. The State Legisla
ture is considering a revaluation act,
but nothing definite in that direction
has been established so far. Accord
ing to information reaching here re
valuation was considered, but the ar
gument started over the act when a
limit to the decrease was considered.
Some of the members of the assem
bly maintained that the decrease be
limited to 3.1 1-3 per cent of the pres
ent valuation. Others want the valu
ation decrease unlimited, maintaining
thai the decrease should lie as great
as conditions, demanded.

CO-OP SALES ARE
MADE FAILURE BY
CHICKEN TRUCKS
Approximately Six Tons of
Poultry Shipped From
County Cooperatively
Cooperative poultry shipments were
seriously handicapped this week when
hucksters lined the highways leading
into W illiamston and haught chickens
in sight of the % car at a price slightly
above that advertised by the cooper
ative shippers. The poultry car wai
operated at a loss, and the declared
unfair, competition virtually means
that no more cooperative shipments
will he made from this county, leav
ing the poultry raisers at the mercy
of the ttuck operators.
Those in charge of the ca' were
greatly disappointed by the action of
the hucksters and that of those farm
ers who passed the car by for the dif
ference of only a half-cent. The poul
try car operators were not critical of
the action on the part of the farmers
as far as the one loading was con
cerned, but they expressed the opin
ion that (lie practice this week would
chivk further cooperative shipments
anil destroy all hopes for- a profitable
market.
Last week, Messrs. R. L. Stalling®,
secretary of the Roanoke Mutual Ex
change, and T. B. Hrandon, called
over long distance telephone in an ef
fort to get the highest market price
for a cooperative shipment. They ad
vertised the operating schedule and
prices. The price was front 2 to 3
cents a pound above local cash prkes
at that time. Early Tuesday morn
ing the hucksters stationed themselves
at Jamcsville, but the farmers there
valued the efforts of their exchange,
anil the hucksters were not patron
ized. _ ,11 was a different story her'-'
Wednesday, when more than half the
offerings brought to town never
reached the car I lie hucksters had
planted themselves almost in sight of
the car and took advantage of the
efforts and advertising put forth by
the Roanoke Mutual Exchange in ar-
TirfTgiiig for the shipment.
Many farmers realized the value
the cooperative shipments had been
to them and patronized the car re
gaiillcss of the one-half cent pound
price differential, and many of them
condemned the practice of the huck
sters.
Ihe price offered f«»r chickens here
the day after the car left ranged from
K I 2 cents a pound in cash to 10 cents
in trade. At no time has a car been
operated with prices below 10 cents,
cash.
 "operative loading made in this
county have been shipped to the far
away markets, preventing a glut of
local and near-by markets, j. The co
operative prices have been as high
ordinarily as those offered by truckers,
and the very fact that these shipments
were made tended to hold up the
prices on local and near-by markets.
However, some farmers failed to real
ize- the value in - the shipments * and
have knowingly or unknowingly work
ed to stop them.
Approximately 7,000 pounds of chick
ens were load.ed at Jamesville and
\\ Tuesday'- jand Wednes
day.
Approximately 6,000 pounds of
chickens were loaded at Robersonville
yesterday, leaving the car short of a
load by about 2,000 pounds.

Economical Graduation Is
Advised for All Seniors
By Mia* Lora E. Sleeper
With the approaching graduation
season, many homes in the county
will be affected by the necessary prep
arations. All teachers and parents
should make the graduation at eco
nomical as possible. Simple white
voile dresses or organdy are very good
this year, and the girls will look most
attractive and the pocketbooks will
he less affected. With the decreased
money this year, materials for grad- ~~
uation dresses should be of much im
portance. Why try to "keep up with
the Joneses" when you can look just
as attractive for half the cost. Latest
white cottons suitable for graduation
dresses are on display now at many
ttores.
