CLERK OF COURT CANDIDATES ARE HARD AT WORK Order for Ballots Is Given; No Large Vote Is Anticipated "A" second primary having been ; asked for, elections officials in this county are making arrangements to hold like contest on the 30th of this month, or two weeks from tomorrow. Chairman of the county election board, Mr. Sylvester Peel, placed an order for 5,000 ballots this week ami they 'will be placed in the hands of precinct officials about week after next, or sev eral days before the primary. As far as it could be learned, there will be no clung, s in the election per sonnel serving at the last primary. | According to reports reaching here, I there was some misunderstanding prior to the last primary in connec tion with the registration of citizens beocming 21 years of age after the pri mary but before the election in No vember. It has been ruled that any one becoming of age on or before the date of the" November election can register and vote in the primary on the 30th of this month. Provision is made for such registration on the same day the primary is held. It is understood that several young men here and there throughout the coun ty will probably participate in the sec ond primary under the announced rul ing. The second campaign for. the clerk of court office is progressing quiet ly, the two candidates hardly taking a breathing sp 11 after the first contest to start on the second one. While the vote on the 30th will fall consid erably short of the one polled June I, it j> .kir-w$rd will be marked-~m> in the ct>unty the last Saturday in this month. ' ?

FOREST SERVICE SUPPORT URGED County Authorities Will Be Asked To Take Part in State Program ?

Recent reports received from Geor gia indicate there will be a short to baeeo crop in parts or nearly all of that belt this year, estimates placing the production even below the pound age allotted by the government. Prospect?* for a normal crop or a production equal to that alloted by the rains that fell over a period of four weeks. It was said that 16 inches of rain fell in the Tiftop section of thf State from May 15 to the first of this month, causing acre after acre of the crop to drown.

JUNE TERM OF SUPERIOR COURT BEGINS MONDAY Trial of Aged Man for Kill ing His Wife Only Case Of General Interest Present indication* point to a short session *>f the Martin County Super ior court here n xt week, a review ot the docket showing only' nine co^eT" scheduled for trial. OtlKr thin the murder charge against Davenp >rt, aged white man of the "Islands" -sec tion of Williams Towoship, the docket carries case-* of apparently in ly passing interest. ?>* No schedule or calendar of civil cases has been prepared, and it is now blieved that Judge Walter Small, the presiding officer from Elizabeth City, will keep farmers and others from their?sv<>rk?ii?>t?more thun two or tl-ree days. TU? in*: i'?vcu|"iii irt.n- i> rcany un ap pealing one, and will, no doubt, puzzle those handling it. The old man, re puted to be about ?X4 year- old, already has ope loot in the grave, Sn1 his health is said t*> be faliing him rapidly. - His wife, a very young woman, was killed; and her little child is gradu ally recovering front more than 50 wounds made in her legs by the gun shot. Old "man Joe, apparently ?hrrw ing the effect of confinement and and the resulting loneliness, said the other day he was anxious fpr trial time, and while he still maintained that h felt justified in the tragi: act, he did not appear greatly concerned over his fate. He did express a keen d sire to return to his old haunts in the low grounds with the opportunity of fol lowing an open life unmolested dur ing his remaining.^ay.^ . t "1 ?mr going on nigh years old, aaul I had never bVcn in any tremble before marrying into the (Barber) family," the aged man said. "And now, with one foot already in the |Ta\T, t am hi itob 'nicss" he added. Born in the mountains of western Carolina, Davenport moved to this section when he was only five or six \ea s old. All family records were destroyed by fi.e, hut when asked how he determined his age, fje said that he was about 10 years old when the Yankees came up Roanoke River. Plowing in a held iieai Fort Branch (Rainbow Banks) the man said lie was impressed when a cannon ball whiz zed over his brad and can cd "dat dar old gray mule to run away." kt could not b. learned w. en the? case will be tilled, probably some tunc Monday or probably Tt:rst!a\ morn ing. Attorney H. L. Swain is repre senting Davenport with Attorney Hugh (i. llorion aiding the prosecu tion. ()tlier~ cases on the docket include the?following: Russell and Stancil Perry are charged with robbery. The ca e was appealed from the county court and later continued on account "t the ill n< ss of one* of the defendant ? John Sam Moore, housebreaking and larceny, was 'scheduled f >r trial by a justice of the peace. A warrant was issued against Mayo Andrews for an alleged a-.sau.lt upon a female. Willie t romwell is t'hutg d with *e cret an'd felonious assault. A seduction charge has been pre ferred against Thurman Nicholson. /Floyd Jones is charged with store t/reaking. y K. N. Farmer, charged with aban donment and non-support, appealed his case from the county court There is a second case against Joe Davenport, hut the assault charge will hardly be called, as the prosecuting witness, Maggie Barber Dfcvt**nport, was killed.
