whatever team Ahoskie was supposed
to play. Plymouth, even though idle,
added two games yesterday and Wed- (
nesday by forfeits. Edenton gets two
victories today and tomorrow in the
same way, and the Martins are sure
of two more wins next Monday and
Tuesday when they were scheduled
to play Ahoskie. j

there, and not a single article was
saved, it was said, resulting in a loss
of more than $1,000.
The woman is said to have applied
for insurance last week, but unable to
finance a policy she deckled to wait
until this week to protect her prop
erty against fire.
"Tvhii* two or three curing barns
have been destroyed by fire in the
county this season, the loss near

ture and in accordance wMl the
termi of the Bankhead act, started

HOPED TO SELL
FROM 800 TO 1,000
SHARES IN SERIES
Conditions In Section Ap
parently Better Than In
Many Months
The 35th series of the Martin
County Building and Loan Associa
tion. opening the first of next month,
promises to be one of the rnost suc
cessful ones in several years, an of
ficial of the organization said this
morning. Conditions arc apparently
much better in this section than in
many months, and taking everything
into consideration, the series should
sell between 800 and 1,000 shares, he
explained. The officer also pointed
out that the demand for homes in
W illiamston is becoming more acute
almost daily, and prospective home
owners are turning to the association
and buying shares with the intention
of later financing their building pro
grams. And then there is the excel
lent saving feature made available by
a systematic habit of placing aside a
small amount each week.
That the Martin County Building
and Loan Association has been in
strumental in advancing the upbuild
ing of the town and community is
evidenced by the large number of
homes and other buildings financed
through it during the past years. In
proportion to the size of the organi
zation's stock sales, the profreaa of
the town keeps close touch. No long
er than last spring, the 34th series
sold a comparatively large number"of
shares, and today there is more
building activity <in the community
than in some time past.
The associatr<5h,*fiVr p'f avetf a "Wltf*
able saying agency for its share
! holders, it having already matured
$40,000 worth of?ttoak ie far this
year, earning for its patrons $7,500
clear profit Another of the associa
tion's series?the first of the 50-cent
size, matures within the next few
weeks, the shareholders having saved
sizeable sums during the past 180
weeks which when added to interest
earned amounts to much.
the next
urday in September, and it is be
lieved that many people, non-share
holders in the past, will subscribe to
the tax-free stock either as means of
saving or as a means of financing a
home or some other type of building.

Opening Prices on Southern
Markets Reported About
Double of Last Year
Opening it 22 cents i pound on the i
South Carolina and border markets
yesterday, tobacco prices were said
to be about double those of last year j
and very pleasing to the farmers as
a whole. However; a few tags were !
said to have turned in several houses,'
but local people, including Messrs.!
T- G. Staton, Bob Everett and Super
visor of Sales R. W. McFarland, said
the opening at Lumberton and Fair
mont?were- very encouraging.
?Farmers and business men greeted
the opening with enthusiasm. Prices
as a whole were all and more than
most had expected and the tobacco
belt was happy at the flow of cash
started through it with the beginning
1 of sales.
the majority of the tobacco offered
j The opening break was light and
'was of poor quality. The season has
| been retarded by weather and the
(bulk of the offerings was first prini
; ings. Rain, too, on Wednesday pre
vented the movement of some tobacco
to the markets and contributed to the
light offerings.
Poorer quality sand lugs and first
primings brought as low as four
cents a pound but good grain sold
to 40 cents and above. One lot at
Lumberton, N. C., was bid in at 50
cents.
Oflfcial warehouse Averages were
not available last night from most
of the targer centers as warehouse^
men lacked the time to prepare them
in the bustle of opening day. Unof
ficial ~ p"t
average on various markets at from |
21 cents a pound to 25 and a frac

TOBACCO CARDS
STILL COMING IN
' Hoped to Have All Cards]
In by Time Tobacco
Market Opens
Allotment cards for marketing to
bacco free of penalty are still reach
ing Martin farmers at tire rate of
about 100 daily, authorities stating
yesterday, that (he work would be
speeded up next week in an effort to
have all cards in <hf hands of farm
ers by the time the markets open on
the 23rd.
No official information could be had
on the matter, but it is understood j
that a few, very few, farmers would j
have to make some adjustments in
their plantings before cards could be |
issued to them. One farmer is said
to have destroyed eight acres, and I
others there arc others who have re-!
duccd their crops in accordance with \
the contract terms. When the final I
show down arrives, it is believed most |
of those showing an excess acreage
will comply with the contract rul
ings. Those who fail to get a card
will be required to pay the 25 per
cent penalty, it is understood.
Farmers are warned that no cards
will be duplicated, that when they
lose an allotment card they have lost
just one-fourth of what their tobacco
sells for on the market.

Last Year's Budget Figures
PLAN TO BUILD
GARAGE FOR 40
SCHOOL BUSSES
Building Expected to Make
18,200 Square Feet of Stor
age Space Available
Plans are being considered this
week for the construction of a county
garage and storage for tlic forty]
-school busses in this county, accord
ing to information coming From the
office of the county board of educa
tion yesterday. The building, esti
mated to cost $4,000, is to be located
on county property adjomiug the
state highway prison camp, about
two miles from here. Authorities arc
studying the plans but it has not been
determined whether to contract the
projecr to private buttitrr?f or super
vise the construction from the office
of the board of education.
The building, nuking available
about 18,200 square feet of storage
and a garage room of about 1,800
square feet, will be constructed of
corrugated iron. No floor or con
crete will be laid in the storage com
partment.
?Renting space iiL tlie Farmers
Warehouse here during the closed
season, the school authorities have
experienced high insurance rates and
much inconvenience"*? the markets
open several weeks before th? schools
start their terms, forcing the trucks
into the open. It has l>een costing
the county about $400 a year to
maintain storage and garage space
in the tobacco warehouse, but a
greater portion of the amount was
represented in insurance, premiums.
, The proposed project was approved
county cotninissittfiers thi*
week when a 3-cent levy was included
in the new year budget. '
?If the project is contracted to pri
vate builders, construction will be
started within the next few days.
Should the county authorities handle
the construction, work will hardly
get underway before the latter part
of next month on account of pressing
emergencies elsewhere.

COUNTY WORK
REQUIRES LESS
THAN LAST YEAR
Saving Centers Around the
Debt Service Fund For
Fiscal Year
Property owners in Martin County
will be called upon to advance $153,
470.25 to run the government, care
lor the poor, safeguard?'-in a small
way?the public health, meet interest
?jul bond principal, maintain the
school* and finance the public school
debt during the\ year 1934-35, accord
ing to a budget estimate advanced
this week by County Auditor J. Sam
(ietsinger. While the amount might
I appear large,-, it is the smallest in
) years and is less by $25,139.51 than
the amount required to run the county
business last fiscal year.
j The savin# is centered around the
debt service fund which requires seven
and one^half cents less this year than
it did last. Ij is estimated that a rate
, of sixty-four and one-half cents on
i the $100 property- valuation or $63,
! 580.50 will care for the debt service
requirements this year. It is seen
from the budget estimate that hear
4y 4>ne-balf the rattr- and amount
levied is for debts contracted in pre
vious years. Financing no anti-ty
phoid fever campaign this year, the
commissioners lopped three and one
1 half cents front the health fund and
j another two cents from the school
Current expense fund. School debt
service, figured at $43,818 75. calls for
a reduction of aire cent in that rate,
| increasing the rate reduction to 14
cents. Making provisions for the con
struction of a county garage and an
ating that the 1)()<>^ will always
rfouiid, probably in greater num
bers than in the past, the commis
sioners added three cents to the rate
4tr the-first case and out' cent ifl'The
second, reducing the 14-cent reduc
tion to 10 cents and establishing a
rate of $1.50 on the $100 property
valuation.
Since special school levies have
been withdrawn, the $1.50 rate con
stitutes just about all to be collected
in county taxes excepting poll taxes
and special road levies in several of
the districts. ...."?__? 7
If, and it is a big it, the county was
free of debt, it could operate on 1
rate of forty and one-half cents; that
is, police protection would be made
available, the poor taken care of. pub
lic health safeguarded, county-offices
maintained, courts operated, and
schools operated for that sum.
While the debt cost of the county
is gradually decreasing, the sharp re
duction for the current year was made
possible, for tire most part, by the
purchase of bonds at a sizeable sav
j ing months stgo, thanks to the wis
dom to those in charge. And while
the taxpayers now wish that more
bonds had been purchased, the au
thorities raked and scraped to get the
money for those they did purchase.
'here are many interesting items
carried in the county's financing pro
gram and not reflected in the budget
estimate, but the main item attracting
inteiest of the property owners is
that 10-ccnt icductiun ill the rate.
SEVEN CASES IN
COUNTY COURT
Majority of Prisoners Re
ceive Sentences On
Roads
Although larger than any one
scheduled in several weeks, the docket
in the last Tuesday session of the
county recorder's court was com
paratively small, Judge Peel calling
only seven cases. No fines were im
posed, but road sentences were rath
er numerous among what few cases
there were on the docket.
Joe Godartf III was found not
guilty in the case charging him with
reckless driving.
Judgment of non-suit was allowed
in the case charging Jesse Rogers
with larceny and receiving.
Prayer for judgment was continued
one week in the case charging Leon
Roberson with forcible trespass.
Phillip Thompson was sentenced
to the roads for allegedly driving an
automobile while drunk.
Charged with an assault with a
deadly weapon, Robert McClaren was
sentenced to the roads for a period
of 18 months.
Willie Innuson and "Dummy**
Speight were in court on a larceny
and receiving charge. Speight was
