VOLUME XXXVI—NUMBER 63
HOLD NO SCHOOL
FOR OFFICERS OF
ELECTION HERE
Instruction Would Cost the
County About $l5O,
Official Believes
While county boards of elec
tions in the State have been asked to
hold local schools of instruction for
registrars and judges of election, chos
en U» conduct the wet-dry election
November 7, it is not likely that one
will be held in this county, according
to a statement made yesterday by Mr.
Sylvester Peel, chairman of the Mar
tin County Board of Elections.
"It will cost Martin County ap
proximately $l5O to hold the one-day
school," Mr. Peel said, and in his
opinion the instruction isn't abso
lutely necessary. Mr. Peel did not
say no school would be held, but he
did say that he considered the cost
too great for offering the instruction.
The bord chairman plans to distribute
the ballots and booths the latter part
of this month, and he will review a
special election guide book with the
registrars in each of the 12 precincts.
The reqipst to hold the schools of
instruction was made in a letter re
ceived by Mr. Peel from the North
Carolina Association of Election Of
ficials, Major L. P. McLendon, of
Durham, prsident; and George C.
Hampton, jr., of Greensboro; and
Raymond Maxwell, of Kaleigh; vice
presidents. The letter had the en
dorsement of the State Board of
Elections.
It is generally agreed that the wet
dry election the 7th of next month is
no more complicated than other elec
tions held in the past. In fact, Mr.
Peel said he believed it was lest com
plicated than many other elections.
The official is corresponding with the
State election authorities at the pres
ent time, and if a school it ordered,
it will be held in this county Tuesday,
October 24.
HEALTH REPORT
FOR SEPTEMBER
Five Cases of Whooping
Cough Reported; Also
Sogie Typhoid Fever
The seasons have changed several
times, but the epidemic of' whooping
cough introduced into this county
months ago' continues to add to its
victims, although the epidemic has a
bout petered out, it was learned from
the county health report for the
montii of September. Only five cases
of the cough were reported during
September, and they were confined to
colored children in Williamson
Township, No doubt but there are
other cases in the county unreported.
Typhoid fever, against which a vig
orous campaign was conducted in the
county the past summer, invaded two
Colored homes in Kobersonville Town
ship during September.
One scarlet fever case was report
ed in a white family in Willimston
Township. a
Plan Unusual Feature
For Rocky Mount Fair
Like a page torn raggedly from
those tales of Stevensons'
"Suicide Club" comes the invitation by
way of a classified advertisement for
a young man to risk his lims, or life
—for a consideration.
If he wins he will come out of the
'ordeal richer. If he loses—but no
young man would accept su;h a dare
with the thought of losing in his mind.
"The purpose of this stunt not oTlly
is to give Rocky Mount Fair patrons
an unusual thrill, but o show them
exactly what happens when two auto
mobiles .collide head-on on the high
way." a
The head-on collision will feature
the International Congress of Dare
devil's program which will also include
professional .motorcycle races, au|o
polo, Jack Early attempting to craah
through two board walls on a motor
cycle, somersaulting and roll-over au
tomobiles, fanny Fords, and the cel
ebrated ash can derby.
The daredevils will present a com
plete thrill program in front of the
grandstand both days, October 17 and
18 ' - --

LOCAL HIGHS WIN
OVER HOBGOOD
"Frosty" Peters' Boys Take
Season Opener By A
38 To 0 Score Here
The 1933 edition of Willianiston
,High School's football team stepped
but last Friday afternoon on the local
gridiron and proceed to win its first
start of the season by overwhelming
the Hobgood team, 38 to 0. In the
first half ' the locals, coached by
| "Frosty" Peters, former Wake Forest
star, scored practically at will, while
the Hobgood boys never got to mid
field when they had the ball. The
score at the end of the half was 31
to 0.
The local boys showed up well with
their passing, practically all the
scores coming as a result of this type
of play. Their ground game did not
function so well, although on defense
the boyt stopped practically every
thing Hobgood had. Waller Cook
,and Oscar Anderson showed up well
in the backfield, with Jack Manning,
right end, being on the receiving end
of a number of successful passes Rog
erson, center, and Hardison, left end,
looked particularly good on defense.
Parker, quarterback for the visitors,
easily led his team, although his
choice of plays was poor and cost
Hobgood several adverse scores.
The Williamston team made a total
of six touchdowns, five of them in the
first half, and two extra points, one
by placement kick. Hobgood made
only two first douns, one of which
came on a penalty. The game was
clean and there were no protested de
cisions by either of the teams. C. B.
Clark, jr., refereed, Bill Spivey was
umpire, and H. M. Stubbs, head lines
man.
The locals play Ayden'a fast team
in Ayden next Friday afternoon.

ning a speaking campaign in this
county. The election, scheduled
for November 7, is causing very
little interest so far, and no retard

DR. W. L. POTEAT
SPEAKER HERE
Noted Educator Champions
Cause of Prohibition in
Talk Here Sunday
Dr. VV. L. Poteat, president emer
itus of Wake Forest College, occupied
the pulpit of the Baptist church here
Sunday morning and delivered a force
ful message to a good-sited congrega
tion. *
Announcing his theme to be "Chris
tian Citizenship," the speaker took ad
vantage of his appearance in Martin
County to deliver a blow aimed at tlie
liquor interests, and in doing so
knocked down many of the wet argu
intents that pass current here and
there. that a Christian man
is one who is under the sway and
control of the Christ, the speaker said
that a good citizen would vote as his
conscience indicated, leaving the im
pression that upon that basis few peo
ple could bring themselves to believe
that the return of liquor would be "a
good thing fur himself, his family, or
bis neighbor,
"If North Carolina votes for re
peal," the doctor said, "the wets of
this state will take that as a mandate
to do away with the Turlington A>Jt.
Already there is talk of calling a spec
ial session ot the legislature in the
event the state goes for repeal. And
if the legislature thus called together
were of the same mind of the last one,
there would be no doubt of their re
moving the Turlington Act."
Stating that Christians could do
nothing else than stand by their con
victions, the speaker went on to say
that the moment the flood gates were
lifted this stale will be flooded with
liquor front' the coast to the inoun
ains—legalized liquor that will hi nbth
ing less than a curse to the entire
citizenship.
REQUIRE FILING
.OF SALES TAX
RETURNS SOON
Deputy Collector Makes
Statement Regarding
Collections
Ed James, of Kobersonville, dep
uty commissioner of revenue in this
section, today issued the following
statement to the and oth
ers who come under the sales tax law:
"Under the provisions of the sales
tax act, which went into effect on
July Ist, 1933, merchants liable for the
tax are required to make monthly re
ports if the tax during the month a
mounts to as much as $lO. If the
tax did not amount to as much as
$lO per month, merchants are allowed
to make quarterly returns.
"The first quarter under the sales
tax act ends on October Ist, and at
that time reports will be due to be
filed which are required to be filed on
or before the 15th of October for all
merchants in the State,
"All merchants who have not made
monthly returns and those who have
made monthly returns will make re
turns within those dates.
"It is going to be impossible for
me t6 see every merchant in the ter
ritory to help them fill out their re
turns. The law requires that returna
be made out by them and sent in with
check for their tax liability before the
15th of October and merchants should
not wait to make their returns until
I see thdtn, but should send them in
themselves directly. If any merchant
should find it impossible to make his
returns out, if he will communicate]
with me at my headquarter in Rob
ersonville, I will be glad to be of any
help that I can.
"As the sales tax law is now pretty
well explained and understood by the
merchants, it is expected that compli
ance with requirements for making re
turns will be made fully by our mer
chants. I very much appreciate the
courtely and cooperation shown me
while I have been in this territory, and
hereby advise the merchants if I can
be of any help to them, I will be glad
to do so." -

In the meantime, prices for the cur

price average has been increased a cent
or two just because better quality
tobacco is being sold in larger quan
tities, but even then the sales figure

CARE IN POTATO
HARVESTING IS
VERY ESSENTIAL
Success With Potatoes De
pends on Harvesting
At Right Time
Success in keeping sweet potatoes
the winter depends on harvesting the
crop before llie potatoes are injured
in tin* soil, immediate and thorough
drying and ventilating alter harvest,.
and maintaining temperatures in stor
age that will prevent cold injury or
excessive dryiuft.
"W»'overlook the fact that sweet
potatoes may be injured by excessive
water in the soil in late autumn when
the temperature is too low to allow
the soil to dry out," says Dr R. F.
Poole ,plant disease investigator for
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion "It seems to be a custom to
harvest sweet potatoes in this section
immediately following the first killing
frost whether this frost occurs in late
October or late November. We have
found that when the crop is harvest
ed between October 10 and October
20, it will keep better in storage than
when harvested at a later dale,"
Dr. Poole says there are some 20
fungi which cause disease and rot of
the sweet potato.' Some of these will
enter the nwits whether are
or not and when soil conditions are
favorable, trouble will follow. This
is why the specialist advises digging
before the soil become water-logged in
late fall.
It is poor economy, says Dr. Poole,
to store any potatoes that are dis
eased Therefore he advises inspect
ing the* roots before storage. None
that are broken or cut should he placed
in the houses.
Good ventilation in the storage
house is also advised. Excessive heat
is to he avoided because this not only
results in shrinkage hut also in poor
quality.
