I ?One hundred?aitd?sixteen?World * War veterans in Martin County were described as in need of aid to some extent in a preliminary report follow ing a survey made recently by Miss Huldah Roberson. Only a few of that number have received aid under the veteran's compensation plan, it is understood, and none has received 1 compensation during the past few 1 months until recently. I The needs of the 116 varied consid-j erably, it was pointed out. Some of. the former soldiers were said to be able to earn their own living under favorable conditions, but they had found it difficult to eke out a liveli hood for themselves and their families in recent months, making necessary, in a number of instances, demands upon the general' relief office. Only a few of the veterans were said to be totally dependent. A .complete survey , wa?_not po^s* ble, and there might be others who are deserving of aid. The investigator reported no or phans of veterans, but there were a few whose mothers had died. In addition to the survey of the vet erans, the investigator found 104 chil dren in need ot bare necessities of life. Some of the number were blind and depended upon the goodness of distant relatives and friends. While ill of the 104 were not physically dis abled, all were in dire need of help. Six old persons were found blind and depended upon limited aid from the county and neighbors. A continuation of the survey is pending, but the action, if any, to fol low the first survey has not been learned. TWO ARRESTED !

Cherry pitched for Stokes Saturday and made a good showing. Shep Johnson, working on the mound for Everetts, allowed only 6 hits. Stalls performed well on the mound in the Sunday game, allowing Dardena only four scattered hits and would have reg istened a shut-out but for an error in the second inning. Hardens used three pitchers to stop their heavy hitting dpponcnts. Everetts plays Corey's store team this work. FINAL RITES FOR HARRY W. STUBBS ARE HELD TODAY jWas Prominent Leader In I State Legislature for Quarter Century I Harry Williams Stubbs, for many 1 years a prominent lawyer and a power in county and district politics, died at his home in the Atlantic Hotel here early yesterday morning. He was found dead at 8 o'clock, attendants going to his room at that time to in vestigate why he had not answered |th< bMthfm call. One foot was otr: the floor, the remainder of the body lying on the bed, indicating that death was caused by a stroke of paralysis. LHe~duh?ot-af>pear soweTTlate Sunday afternoon, but he was able to retire without aid at 8:30 that evening. Suf fering a stroke of paralysis in Novem ber, 1929, Mr. Stubbs had continued in feeble health, but was able to be up mast of the. time. The son of the late Jesse Stubbs and wife, Mr. Stubbs was born in February, 1859, on the property where the Knight home now stands on Main Street, making hint one of William-, 's oldest native-born citizens. Aft er his preliminary scholastic training [ locally, he entered the old Horner ( school, later matriculating at the Uni versity of North Carolina. Shortly , after rrcriving der prominent dutors at Greensboro, ! he obtained his license to practice law. He was offered a position with the | Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company ( about that time as conductor, but fol lowing the advice of the late James E. Moore, Mr. Stubbs located here in -the early t880*s and started a colorful career as a lawyer, politician, and leg ( islator. He married Miss Dclha La nier shortly after establishing himself here. She died about one year later, | and he then married Miss Carrie Sit- j terson, who died a number of years ago, leaving one son, Harry M. Stubbs 1 of this place. In, 1889 he represented the escond , Ndltftriit 4tf the North-"CkVttffMf Gtjlffln al Assembly, being forced froth fur- ' thcr <futy in that body by political un rest until 1899, when he again repre-. sen ted the county and started what was later to prove a service, record rjlJ a State legislator. For close to 25 years, he served consecutively in the legislature, first in the house and then; in the senate, and he bcame known as' the revolving legislator. He was the author of numerous laws and was recr ognized as an able representative and senator during that long period of service, which ended with the session j of 1923. In the meantime, he was' -aaoaeiate^ jdth-the ImtC .L IL MoorC 1 Tn the practice of law and distinguish ed himself as an able attorney. The hands of many law violators were waslu-d clean by his powerful oratory before spell-bound jurors in eastern Carolina courthouses. He was solid-1 tor nf the inferior courts in this coun ty back in 1890, but he gained his recognition for his power Tu 1 defense rather than for the prosecution of al leged violators ot the law. - Following his return from the North "Carolina legislature, his power began to wane, and after he suffered a stroke of paralysis in 1929, he retired alto gether from the practice of law. Since that time he spent his life quietly in the hotel here, reading extensively and waiting patiently for the end. He never affiliated with any religi ous denomination, and while not at all pretentious, he was virtually the living soul of the Skewarkee Lodge' of Masons here. He supported the ?r?an'zation almost alone and whole- | heartedly for many years, taking an ^ctive and interesting part in the var- j ious accepted duties of the Masnic or- , 'der. He lived his life as he went,' sharing freely and willingly with his j friends and the less fortunate until cir jcumstanceg prevented. I Funeral services were conducted from the Episcopal church at 2:30 o' ' clock this afternoon by Rev. E. F. Moseley, followed by a Msaonic serv ice at the grave in the local cemetery.

Hardi son, of Williamston. was chosen last "Friday evening to represent the John Walton Hassell American Legion Post at the annual convention of the North Carolina department of tin American Legion to he held in Greens boro August 26-27 as "Miss Martin County" and "Miss Williamston.' The judges, five from Washington led by Mr. Selby Jones, selected Mis Hardison from 26 candidates, many of whom entered the contest merely as a favor to the contest sponsors, it was ^aid. v 1 . ' . ? ? While the evetit met with financial success, it was not accorded a very earnest support, probably for no fault on the part of any one, but just be cause beauty is present on the streets of towns and villages throughout the county every day of tin- year, making a special event for the gathering of beauty a bit far-fetched in the minds jof the local public. I Approximately $7 $71 was received by the post auxiliaryr-netting abouf from which amount the expense of iss Hardison trip to Greensboro , jwill be deducted. The Legion Auxiliary extends its 'appreciation?to?those?who took a part in the contest, especially the lit - | tie girls for their dances and little ;Mi%g Smith, of Robersonville, for her reading. j Tti Hold Hearing for Negto In Alleged Assault Case r - ? ?*?

HOW MARTINS BAT The Willianiston team's batting average climbs slowly?but it does climb. While-the -chtb-hta-not lost a single game-iu-ilic-iwii weeks since the averages were last published, the team batting average has gone up but 3 points, from .257 to .260. However, the pay-off is made on the basis of runs scored, not base hits wasted or men left on bases and in these departments the Martins have certainly led every tsani they've been up against lately. In the past 12 ganws Willianiston scored 74 riyis on *108 hits, and in the meantime the local pitchers were - holding opposing teams to 17 runs, or less than 1 1-2 runs prr game* earned and unearned. Now, to the individuals. Brake continues to show the way, al though hf found the going tough during the past few days and hit mark it down from .449 to .375. Eatap also dropped, comin down from .360 to .345. Otcar Anderson, jr., if the only other member, of the squad in the select .300 group, his mark just making the grade, ,Gaylord* Uzzle, Brogden, and Herring fattened their marks some, white the rest of the boys were on the downgrade. Incidentally, Uzzle's mark of two weeks ago should have been two hits better than the figres showed, due to an error. And also, some more incidentally, Uzzle has struck out but two times this season out of 122 official appearances at the plate, which is probably a record, or something. Brake leads in total num ber of hits, three-baggers, home runs, total bases, and runs batted in. Earp is best in two-baggers, runs scored, and second in total baacs. "Brother" Gaylord has made the most sacrifices, and Troy Goodmon is best at base-pilfering. The figures below cover all games through Saturday, July 7: Piaytr & Pot.

OPENING DATES ARE EARLIEST IN MANY YEARS First Time In History That Local Market Opened On Thursday Eastern North Carolina tobacco markets will open Thursday, August 23, this year, several days earlier than first time in history that the market* haw been scheduled to open in this belt on any day other thari Tuesday, it is understood. The dates were de termined by the Tobacco Association of the United States in its annual meeting held in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, la^t week. Georgia opens for the season on August 1, followed by South Caro lina oil the 9th, tins on other Eastern Cartdma markets oti ttie J3rcr, "and the Middle Melt on September 13th. While these !.*tes are subject to change at the direction of the Secre tary of Agriculture, it is believed that they will stand Accordion to rifyortn released Pday. ??ne group - iti the industry wants the markets to open August 28, but the buyers fa vor the earlier ? petting on the 23rd. Heretofore the?situation Irrs?been reversed, the warehotis men desiring an carty opening and the buyers a comparatively late opening. Secre tary Wallace will definitely determine the opening dates this wee. it is un derstood. The markets in this belt opened August 29th last season, a few days. - earlier than the opening of the year before. While no complaint will be directed by farmers against opening date for this belt this year, it is K?Mie i hII y ' bed ieiarmcr*- .will fr* not he ready with any ui very, little activities will, in all probability, be still underway at that date, leaving little time for the farmer to Prepay* any of his tobacco for marke,. The earlier opening will add another week lo the long season of marketing in hot weather, during which graded to bacco is subject to damage to a great er extent than in cool or cold wea ther. Ptdayi-d openings n?~jlioCT-hell?has caused warehousemen much concern on those markets where tobacco is transported and sotd in other belts before selling was scheduled in East ern North Carolina. The early open ing in the East Carolina belt will nearly stop this practice this season, it is believed by many. There is one thing about it, how eve.r, and that is the early opening will do no body barni and does not necessarily mean an varly doling, giving the farmer?LhaJ?mm h?more time to dispose of his crop.

The small tine-story structure has served for many purposes, for a bar room for many years, a general mer cantile?establishment,?grocery?store, and more recently housing a cleaning and mercantile business. Destruction work, started yesterday noon, was almost completed before evening. Uneventful Meeting Held By Local Town Board ? No nutter* other than of a routine nature were discussed at a short meet ing of the local town commissioner* held last evening. The suasion was scheduled to have been held the first Monday evening, but was postponed until last evening when members of the board were called out of town ? Cause lor Limberneck In Poultry Flocks Given ? Limberneck among poultry flocks is caused by the birds eating decom posing flesh or other protein sub stance. Uusually it is caused by the chickens rating dead birds, a dead rat or some such material. Decom posed or moldy mash will sometimes' produce this condition. Limberneck is not contagious and the outbreak may be handled by confining the birds until the trouble is located and then treating the flock with Epsom salts.
