156 BIRTHS AND 61
DEATHS IN 1933 IN
THIS TOWNSHIP
Birth Rate Is Decidedly
Higher Than That of
Previous Year
One hundred and fifty-six births and
61 deaths were reported in William
ston Township last year, according to
a review of vital statistics file in the
register of deeds' office here this
week. An increase of 5.76 births per
1,000 of population featured the sta
tistics record for the period. The
death rate was advanced only about
one-quarter unit per 1,000 of popula
tion during the period.
The birth rate Tor the township,
32.09, is nearly 10 units higher than
the state rate for the year 1931. Tht
death rate of 12.55 per 1,000 popula
tion, based on the 1930 census for the
county, is about 2 1-2 units higher
than the state rate for the year 1931.
The town's hjrth rate was lower
a#d the town's death rate was higher
than the two rates for that portion
of the township outside the town lint- (
its. While the town had a death rate
of 15.38, the district outside had a
rate of only 8.92, and yet the average
age of the 42 persons dying in the
town was 36 years, as compared with
31 for the 19 persons dying outside
of the town. There were 14 deaths
among children under 1 year of age!
in town, and only 4 among children'
under I year outside of town. While'
the town birth rate was considerably!
higher than the rate for the state, its
death rate was more than 5 units high
el than that for the state, and three
unit* higher than the 1932 township!
rate.
The colored population pushed both
rates up in town, the registrar re
cording 54 births and 33 deaths
among that race during the period,
as compared with 30 white births and
9 white deaths. There were 20 illegit
imate birth# in town and 8 outside
the town limits. Nearly one-half, or
19 of thf 54 colored births, were il
legitimate ones, leaving a lone white
young one without a legal papa. All
illegit.uiatc births in the township
outside of town were among the col
ored population.
In the township, not including those
in town, there were 72 births, 33 white
and 39 colored cfties. Twelyft Q£ the
IV deaths in the district were among
colored people.
There were 7 stillbirths reported
during the !>eriod, 3 among white and
I among colored in the town, and 2
among white and 1 among colored
people outside of the town.

Senator Bailey and Representatives Warren and Kerr
Were Active in Support of Measure; Amount Is

Efforts by Senator J. W. Bailey and
Congressman Lindsay C. Warren and
John H. Kerr to provide government
money for small farmers through
seed loans as have ben extended in
recent years bore fruit last week when
the lower house of Congress passed
the appropriation of $40,000,000 for
that purpose this year. The

materially, reduced, hut sponsors of
the measure believe, with benefit pay-!
ments available this year and also
other credit in Production Credit Cor
poration bodies, the amount carried |
in the bill will be sufficient to meet the'
demands of borrowers.
Farmers may now borrow from two
sources this year; Seed Loans or

Washington.—The Department of j
Commerce reported recently leaf
bacco exports from the United States
for 1933 were more than 25,000,000
pounds greater than 1932, with condi

conflict between the two groups, since
each has for its backiug the United

The seed loan act provides that the
loans will not be made to tho*e who

will those who have failed to join in
acreage reduction campaigns l>e ex

There are more restrictions this year
than heretofore, but sponsors of the

Both Congressmen Warren and

A. COREY TO RUN
FOR SENATE; HiG.
HORTON, HOUSE
T. B. Slade To Be Candidate
For Clerk Court; Number
Others Expected
While political rumors are floating
thick and fast in these parts in con
nection with candidacies for county
and state offices, only a few official
announcements have been heard so
far. Present indications point to a
sizeable ticket for the voters to act
upon at the lu-xt June I primary.
A. Corey, of Jamesville, announcing
his candidacy this week, will make an
other bid for a seat in the State Sen
ate, the Jamesville lecturer and gen
eral-utility man making the announce
ment following contacts made with
many voters throughout the district
recently. It is umlerstot>d that At
torney Carl L Hailey, of Plymouth,
will be a candidate to succeed him*
sell in the senate. There are others
contemplating entering the race for
seats in the senate, but no official an
nouncmcht of their candidacies has
been made so far.
Hugh (i. Morton, local attorney,
will be a candidate for a seat in the
House of Representatives, he an
nounced recently. Attorney J. (3.
Smith, of Robersonville, will not be
a candidate for a seat in the house
this year, it was learned here a few
days ago. As far as it could be -learn
ed here, there are no other citizens
considering entering the house race
in this county just now.
T. B. Sladr, Hamilton citizen, and
for several years the efficient
man of the Martin County of
Commissioners, announce! a few days
ago that he would be a candidate for
the clerkship of the Martin County
Superior Court. Several other coun
ty citizens are planning to enter the
race for the clerkship, but their can
didacies have not been officially made,
it is understood.
No development have been reported
in connection with candidates for the
other county offices, but it is generally
understood that many of the present
officials will seek renoniination and
reelection next June and November.
However, one or two changes are ex
pected in the contest for county com
missioners.
With the primary just a little over
three months away, considerable and
definite action is expected to develop
rapidly from now on. A fee of 1 per
cent of the annual salary will be
charged all candidates when they file
their candidacies this year, the last
legislature creating a law requiring
that amount. Whether or not this
fee will have a tendency to hold the
number of candidates to a minimum
no one can tell just now. The charge,
amounting to as high as SSO for some
county offices, will probably help some
In making a final decision.
Preliminary Work Started

GOLD NOTES AND
GOLD ACCEPTED
AT POST OFFICE
Require Written Statement
Explaining Why Gold
Was Held So Long
While there has never been a great
amount o{ gold, either in coin or rep
resented in certificates, there is now
about as little as there ever has been
since th Civil War, according to re
ports coming from financial .centers.
The post office here is accepting gold
certificates and the gold itself, but not
until after the owner offers a writ
ten statement explaining why he had
not turned it in before this late day.
l'he currency, once held as the most
reliable medium of exchange, has been
refused by sellers in most cases, and
immediately thereafter the owners
would rush to the bank or post office
to redeem their holdings. Last week
the local post office received approx
imately $1,500 in gold certificates. The
money was accepted . without, ques-,
tion ami exchanged for ordinary mon
ey. Now the post office is directed
to require a written statement explain
ing why the money was held and not'
turned in before. A written state-J
nrent is not now required at the bank (
where the certificates and gold itself,
are accepted and exchanged for ordi-.
nary gold.
Just how much gold has been gath
ered and sent out of the county no
one knows, estimates varying from
S7,(MX) to SIO,OOO. A greater portion'
of the amount was represented in cer-|
tificates. The largest single amount |
was brought in by a resident of Grif-,
fins Township, it is understood, some (
of the money being in the old-time
large size gold certificates.
The largest shipment of gold was.
collected in the upper part of the
I county, it is understood.

CONTROL BOARD RECOMMENDS"
PLACING PEANUTS ON LIST OF
BASIC CROPS TO AID CONTROL
Would Also Develop Pro
duction Control Program j
For Peanut Growers
—*—
NEED OF ACCORD,
Probability of Increase in
Acreage Is Seen As Spur
To Prompt Action
Washington.— Making peanuts a
basic agricultural commodity under
the agricultural adjustment- act, long
advocated by North Carolina mem-!
hers, and developing u production
control program for the peanut grow
ing industry have been recommended!
to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.J
Wallace in '4 report by the control!
board provided tor in the peanut mar-j
keting agreement now in effect. The
board outlined a tentative production'
control program.
The board, which consists of five,
peanut growers and five peanut mill-!
ers, organized in Washington last
week and elected H. C. Smithes, pres
ident of the Columbian Peirtfut Com
pany, of Norfolk, chairman; H. A. 1
Petty, peanut grower, of Dawson, Ga., 1
vice chairman; and A. 11. Ochsner,
peanut grower of Spring Grove, Va., 1
secretary. j
The decision to recommend pro
duction control was made after a study
nl tlie situation indicate the possibili
ty of increases in peanut acreage and
production unless some' such control
v-'
were inaugurated, l'lkes to farmers
for peanuts from the 1933 crop were
approximately duiiltjf, those of ,the
two previous seasons.
It was pointed out that approxi
mately 5,000,000 acres of laud would
he released from cotton production in
1434 in the areas which now produce
peanuts commercially\. Although this
land, under tin' cotton contract, can
not lie planted to other crops which
would produce a surplus, the peanut
producers fear that farmers may use
their extra labor and equipment to
plant peanuts on land nut covered by
the contracts, as the two crops are
naturally alternatives for each other.
It was estimated that if only 10 per
cent of the equivalent acreage which
will he released front cotton in the
peanut growing counties were plant
ed to peanuts it would increase pea
nut production by approximately 40
per cent. There is also some ap
prehension that peanut production
may he increased in counties where
the crop is not now grown commer
cially, but could easily be grown un
der the stimulus of better prices.
A subcommittee of the control board
will confer with officials of the agri
cultural adjustment administration on
I'ebruary 12 to further conside'r a pro
gram for production control The
board urged immediate action by the
secretary as the planting season will
soon begin in parts of the peanut b It.

ONLY TWO MORE
DAYS LEFT FOR'
COTTON SIGN-UP |
Many Farmers In CoUnty
Have Failed So Far To
Sign Contracts
The cotton reduction campaign,
while advancing rapidly in this coun
ty at the present time, will hardly be
completed before the deadline for sign
ing is reached, according to reports
coming Irom the county agent's office
last week. Thursday of this week is
the last day contracts will he accept
able, and there are a few farmers who
have not applied for contract blanks,
it was learned.
Tlitre are many farmers in this
county who are not eligible to sign
contracts, as their acreage planted to
the crop has been under five acres
■during the past several years. It is
not known just how the production
of the small farmer will be handled.
The authorities are neither urging
1 them to sign or reduce their acreage.
1 It is believed the large producer will
he taxed if he fail to sign.

and who fail to do so, will In- unable
to borrow money from the recently
created seed and feed loan agency, it
was learned yesterday.
Before the date for signing con
tracts expires, cotton farmers will, no
dUobt, find it to their advantage to
talk with the county agent of their
respective committees and learn the
details surrounding the reduction pro
grant and its connection with the float
ilig of seed-feed loans.

Most of Damage in This
Section Confined To
Water Pipes
This section, just thawing out good
from a record-breaking cold wave that
swept the country last week, is now
taking stock of the damage resulting
to various property, hut water pipes
particularly.
Damage estimated in the hundreds
of dollars resulted to property when
water pipes hurst and Hooded homes
and offices here. Many residents,
hardly before completing repairs to
damage done by the cold wave of more
than a week ago, were without wa
ter again, and in some instances there
has b en no water carried into homes
by pipes in more than a week. Frozen
pipes were reported in newly con
structed brick honj.es here, and there
•were only a few places where water
srevice was not interrupted.
As far as it could IK- learned, no
.serious damage was done other than
to water lines locally Surrounding
farmers, however, tx ported consider
able damage done to their young
plants and other early crops. The
cold did not damage tobacco seed re
cently sown, it is generally believed.
Ihe lowest thermometer readings

but no c»ne was hurt and there W'3\
little resulting damage.
Serious accidents and several hun
