Gardner struck out six men, and an
base until the fifth inning, when |

marred by rain and wet grounds, but
the "game went the route, the locals
annexing 14 hits to Edenton's 10.
Kugler was relieved from mound duty j
by Gardner in the sixth after the visi- i
tors had scored two runs in that j

CANNING RECORD
ESTABLISHED IN
MARTIN COUNTY
2,304 Quarts of Tomatoes
Put Up at Relief Can
ning Kitchen
A new canning record was estab
lished in this county last Wednesday |
when the relief canning kitchen at i
Jamesville prepared and canned 2,304
quarts of tomatoes for distribution I
among relief subjects this coming fall
and winter. Reports revived from
that center of actiori yesterday in
dicated that more than 10,000 quarts
of tomatoes would be preserved there
tfilj week.
Using home-made boilers and em
ploying around 35 men and women,
the cannery is making a marked pro
gress, and will, no doubt, more than |
prepare the tomato needs of the less ,
fortunate during the coming season.
The boilers have a capacity of only '
225 cans, but a coordinated work i
keeps them turning out tomatoes on I
a more or less definite schedule. The
biggest task apparently is preparing
the tomatoes for cooking, most oT
the worker^ being assigned to that
task. Two young men sealed the
record output Wednesday by their
own handpower.
Tomatoes were bought at very rea
sonable prices under the direction of
Mr. Lilley from various farmers who
had planted the crop on a compara
tively large scale this year.
No accurate unit costTias been de
termined for the tomatoes, hut it is j
estimated that each can will cost ap- j
proximately Hirft"~Tem5?complete i
without wrappers.

Clinton Johnson, said to have been
driving the car, is believed to be suf- j
fcring frut 11?internal injuries. ? Ever-1

Cotton Allotment Blanks
Ready For^DistributioiL
Cotton allotment blanks will prob
ably be made ready by the office of
County Agent T. B. Brandon, late
today for distribution to the several
local committees next week. Neces
sary information is being transferred
from the original cot-ton contracts and !
placed on the cotton allotment blanks
which the growers will sign to get a
quota exempt from taxation as pro- I
vided for in the Bankhead Cotton

for this county so far, but quotas will
likely be made known sometime in
the near future.
Fire Company Called Out
First Time In long While
The local fire company was called
out for the first time in more than
two months when fire threatened the
home of Perlie .Williams, colored
woman, ow Oturch street, last Toes
day afternoon If 4 o'clock. Starting
from sparks falling on the roof from
the kitchen stove, the fire did very
little damage and was extinguished
by firemen using a ladder and a
bucket of water. Numbers of shingles
were burned, but none of the main
timbers in the house was damaged.
Budget To Be Considered by County Board
Commissioners at Meeting Next Monday
A review of the Martin County
preliminary budget figures ia
scheduled next Monday when
the commissioners meet in regu
lar session. It isn't likely that a
complete survey of the proposed
figures can be completed that day
as the board trill have its regular
and other duties to handle, in
cluding the drawing of a jury
list for the September term of'1
the superior court
The budget figures are now in
the making, and a definite esti
mate of the resulting rate cannot
be made at this tune. Auditor
J. S. Getsinger said yesterday
that the figure* would be ready
for inspection tomorrow for con
sideration by the commisaioners
next Monday. Incomplete figures
now indicate that a rat* of 11.55
will be necesaary {or the current
year. If the $1.55 rate ia estab
lished, a saving of five centa on
the $100 property valuation will
have been effected to taxpayers.
A budget estimate (or the
county covering the term, June
30. 1934, to June 30, 193S, will be
made public probably next week,
preparatory to - determining the
rate levy soon thereafter, it is
understood.
No audit of the county booka
has been made eo far, but the
auditora are eapected within the
neat day or two to handle the
work, it waa learned today. How
ever, the county booka are certain
to ahow that each of the varioua
county department! will ahow no
deficita in their account! for the
fiacal year recently ended.
Prom a financial viewpoint,
the "county enjoyed e very ?uc
ceaaful year during the fiacal
period juat ended. However, it
Wll AOt the beat year, but condi
tiona during1 the period were
certainly on the up grade.
EXCESSIVE RAIN
CAUSES DAMAGE
TO CROPS HERE
Tobacco Crop Reported to
Much Rainfall
While continued dry weather con
tinued to exact an almost unbelievable
toll in the West, excessive rainfall 4s
said to be causing much damage to
crops in this section, especially the
tobacco crop. Continued rains, it is
feared by some, will probably ruin
late tobacco in some sections. The
crop is ripening very rapidly now, J
faster than some farmers can house I
it, causing an even greater 4es*.? 1
During July seven and thrcc-quar- j
ter inches of rain were reported by
Hugh Spruill on tjie Roanoke River |
here, the fall being the greatest
any one month since August, 1931,
when more than eleven and-half
inches of rain fell. The heaviest rain
fell last week when nearly three
inches were recorded here.

SUPERVISOR OF
SALES MEETING
LOCAL PEOPLE
R. W. McFarland Discusses
Tobacco WareHouse
Situation Here
By R. W. McFARLAND
Supervisor of Sales
??Through- the courtesy of Mr. W.
R. Ingram, president of the Wil
liams ton Tobacco Association and
one of the proprietors of the well
knowii Farmers Warehouse, your
| correspondent had the pleasure oF
meeting personally many of the busi
' ness men and farmers of your thriv
ling little city. On this little visit of
:introduction we were accompanied by
|Mr. Carlyle Langley of Wilson, N. C.,
I and Abingdon, Va., now of Williams
[tun a"ILf^a niembcr of the waicliuusc
| firm of Corart, Foxworth & Langley,
proprietors of the Planters Ware
| house. Carlyle and myself have been
on markets together for several years
land I was not the least bit surprised
Hf? tl people -in
this .section during his short stay
here. That he will make good down
tmra pnas without saying for lif pos
sesses almost an uncanny knowledge
of tobacco, and a fellow has got to
"know his stuff" when he is "running
the sales."
I missed the presence of the well
liked and affable Jimmie Taylor,'""for
merly of Winston-Salem and Rober
sonvillc (who is down in Georgia for
a few daysj now a member of the
firm of Taylor & Griffin, proprietors
will be back, pn his job at Williams
ton in due tunc, at will Jeffc Cozart
and George Foxworth, who are also
now in Georgia. These last two
named gentlemen will, with Mr.
Langlev. conduct the Planters Ware
house. It was my pleasure for i?ev
eral seasons to supervise in the bur
ley belt markets upon which these
| gentlemen- operated warehouses. and
all of the markets they touched
grew in the volume of their sales and
[benefitted the farmers.
Knowing so well the -character of
those mentioned and having met
since locating here so many Wil
liamston "boosters," we are glad in
deed to ??"? |nt for the coming
season here.
While I have not been in Wil
liamston long enough to know all of
the men connected with the three
warehouses, yet I do know that the
Farmers. Warehouse made a "ten
strike" when they associated wtftr
them as one of their proprietors and
sales managers, Mr. XT. H. Fhaup,
late of Wilson, Greenville and Alios
kie. Of this latter named market,
"Charlie" Phaup, as he is affection
ately called in that section, is the
father. His strong coterie of friends
followed him to Greenville and to
Wilson,?and?unless ail signs fail,
they will follow him to Williamston.
| His O) years' exp?TtfTTTT?m?selling
tobacco for the high dollar has not
been in vain. I have just learned
with genuine pleasure that my old
'friend, Mr. A. M. Perry, will be one
of the sales managers of the Planters
Warehouse. This is good news to
me. I have known ^Gus*^ Perry Tor
years. I have seen him in action on
some of the largest tobacco markets
in the world, and he always delivers
the goods, for he is a fine judge of
tobacco.
I also hail with delight the infor
mation that my old and valued friend,
Mr. Jule James, will be with the Ro
anoke-Dixie as* one of their sales
sales managers. Born and reared in
this favored section, this gentleman
needs no eulogy at my hands. I am
glad that he is back again in the
warehouse business at Williamston,
for Jule James is an excellent judge
of tobacco and his friends are legion.
Naturally, having been on the field
here such a short time. I have omitted
(but not intentionally) the names of
others who will be connected with
our warehouses who will add still
strength to the market, but from
what I have seen already, "what it
takes to make a tobacco itrarket Wil
liamston will have^ this coming sea
son."

TOBACCO PRICES
IN GEORGIA SAID
TO BE PLEASING
Weed Brings ah Average
Of 20 to 24 Cents at
Opening Sale
Opening price* on the Georgia
markets last Wednesday were said to
have been very pleasing to the
growers there, and the reports re
ceived here were considered very en
couraging to Martin County tobacco
growers and others throughout the
bright belt. With the prices ranging
from 6 to 50 cents, an unofficial aver
age of between 20 and 25 cents was
"reported.
Reports From Moultrie indicated
that prices there were around 100 per
cent higher than on the opening day
last year and set an unofficial aver
age of 22 cents a pound on the 500,
000 pounds offered for sale.
Opening prices in the Georgia belt
lpst year were reported at 14 and 15
cents. There is a short crop in that
section thi* year, and?probably that
accounts to a certain extent for the
increased prices. h. very thing being
equal, the reports from that state
would seem to point to a price well
over the parity figure in this belt this
season.
Good lugs at V ill alia sold from 25
to 28 cents, better leaves brought 30
to 40 with a high of 50 cents per
pound. Off grades found buyers at
20 cents per pound;
The first 100 piles of tobacco at
the Douglas market sold for an aver
age unofficial estimate of 24 rents
per pound.
Georgia tobacco is sold in loose
leaf piles, w-hile in other markets it is
graded ami tied before being offered
at auction. ' VV ' ??
Three warehouses at Hahira/sairi a
total of 92,000 pounds were sold at
an unofficial* average of 24.15 cents.
' An individual report frmn .linnnic
Trty'tor'. AViftitrViisfmr warehouse op*
era tor Who is on the Moultrie mar
ket, states that his bouse there sold
1117'H'1 p 1 f i' tf-T-7?
suiting average of $24.91 a hundred

the highest in South Georgia.
