VOLUME XXXVII?NUMBER 53 Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, August 31, 1934 ESTABLISHED 1898
Pl^n To Try Church
Case in September
CASE IS FIRST ON
TRIAL CALENDAR
FOR NEXT COURT
Dissension Has Further Re
duced Ranks of Minority
Group in Past Year
?
Another attempt to settle the
Smithwkks Creek Church case is
scheduled to be started in the Sik
perior Court of Martin County on
Wddrksoay, ^eptemoer ioth, accord
ing to a civil court calendar released
The case, probably one of the most
famous of its nature ever scheduled
for trial in this county and even in
the State, for that matter, enters the
court next month under circumstances
differing greatly from those under
which it was started . several years
ago. One or two of the principal
witnesses have passed on to their re
ward, and a division in the original
minority faction has resulted. Just
what bearing these changes will have
on the outcome of the trial over two
weeks from now remains to be seen.
The majority faction, as far as num
ber is considered, remains almost in
tact. The minority, 15 in number of
the minority faction, left the church
at Smithwick* Creek and started one
of their own at Hayes Swamp, auto
matically dismissing themselves trom
further part in the controversy. Just
what stand, if any, the minority of the
minority group will take in the suit
is not known.
Established in 1803, the church ex
perienced it> first real dissension in
Hay, 1928, when a division in contcr
res lifted ?qd 19 members out of
the 98 set up an organization of their
own, the complaint claims. During
two years the minority and majority
factions made fast their lines of dis
pute, hut after a resigned nature, and
throughout the time there has been
no violence reported in any of the
factions.
In March, 1930, before Judge N. A.
Sinclair, much publicized in connection
with the outcome of the trial and his
Tf?? t>y of
ficers for the posession of a small a
mount of liquor, the case was aired
in the Martin County Superior court
during an erttire week. While the
court records show the trial judge
set aside the verdict, favoring the
plaintiffs or majority faction, on Sat
urday, March 29, 1930, the upset took
place on early Sunday morning, March
30. Friends to both factions had
hoped the week of lung- drawn out
hearings would bring about a recon
ciliation or at least a settlement. The
controversy, while taking on new life,
dragged along, however, and was a
gain called for trial in November, 1932.
Judge Frank A. Daniels was oil the
bench and a voluntary non-suit was
accepted by the plaintiffs.
Within a year, the plaintiffs had
filed a new complaint, to which an
girswer was filed last December by
Attorney Wheeler Martin, and the
case was set for trial on the 19th of
this month, the bar placing no other
civit case* on the calendar for trial
that week. ? '? ..
Since the case was first tried, Elder
New some Harrison, a star witness for
the plaintiffs, has passed on to his re
ward. A change in counsel resulted
for the defendants when Attorney A.
R. Duimtng died and A. D. MacLean
entered government service. Attor
neys E. S. Feel, J. D. Paul, and Ward
& Grimes repreaent the plaintiffs, and
Wheeler Martin and W. B. Rodman
are representing the defendants.
W. Hines Host At
Dinner Wednesday
Serving a sumptuous dinner at his
old home place, one mile south of
Oak City on the Hassell road, Mr. J.
W. Hines generously entertained 100
or more of his friends from this and
other counties and about 30 workers
on the farm there last Wednesday
noon.
The dinner, consisting of delicious
ly prepared barbecue, brunswick stew,
ham and chicken, and other delectable
foods, was greatly enjoyed.
The Hines farm, the birthplace of
Mr. J. W. Hines, his father and grand
father, has been in the family for 159
yrs?The land under grant by
Governor Richard Caswell was ceed
ed to the family for 50 shilling for
each 100 acres. The resident was built*
more than a century ago and continues
in splendid condition today. Splen
did crops are nearing the harvest on
the farm at this time.
The dinner was complete in every
detail, and the boat and gueats min
gled around the long table and en
joyed Mr. Hinea' hospitality in good
friendship.

COUNTY COURT IS
HELD TUESDAY
Several Sentenced to Pay
Fine or Go To Jail by
Judge Peel
The increase noted in general busi
ness following the opening of the to
l?a jco markets last week even reached
the courts this week, Judge Peel and
{Solicitor Coburn going in for a ses
sion that lasted a greater part of the
day. However, there were not so many
cases, but the business required more
time. Apparently, very little money
is in circulation so far, as the court
handed down conditional sentences
calling either for payment of fine an 1
cost or go to jail.
Charged with carrying a concealed
weapon, Joe Everett, Robcrsonvillo
man, pleaded guilty, the court con
tinning the case until September Tl,
with the defendant under the original
bond. % ' -
The case charging H. D. Johnson
Willi lo- ?numl|if..,y?p not
pressed, the court taxing the prose
cuting witness with the cost of the
case.
.Charged with assault and trespass,
F. M. Price and Lin wood* Price were
found not guilty. A motion was grant
ed to dismiss the action against Sam
and Horace Price, defendants in the
same case.
Simon Jenkins, charged with reck
less driving, possession and transpor
tation of liquor and improper li<;ffKfs,
was found guilty on all three counts,
and was fined $50 and taxed with the
costs. Failure to pay the fine and cost
will automatically send him to the
roads for a period of 90 days.
Willie B. Andrews was fined $25
and taxed with the costs or go to the
roffils in the case charging him with
violating the prohibition laws.
Judgment was suspended upon the
payment of the c-os4? in--the j
ing Sam Henry Williams with an as
sault with a deadly weapon He wa>
found guilty, of simple assault.
| Blanche Barnhill was found not gull
,ty in the case charging her with lat -
Veny and receiving.
' The case charging Willie Ray Pow
I ell with larceny was continued under j
prayer for judgment for one week,
j Buster Spruill, charged with ?teal-l
?wg a rnielont was directed to pay |
the costs of the case or go to jail '
for 30 days, the court having suspend- '
ed judgment. i
Klian Hardison pleaded guilty of
j assault, the court suspending judg
ment upon payment of the costs.
Squirrel Season Does Not '
Open Until September 15
Hunters must remember that. the !
squirrel law season opens September
15 and not the 1st as some think. |
| Apparently some Tranters think the
season is already here.
Warden Abbitt has reported no
! violations of the game law so far, hut
1 indictments can well he expected if
.the laws are ignored.
Every good citizen will obey the
law; and ever had one should be
punished.

Baseball in the Albemarle League ,
lis fast reaching a climax this week '
with the Williamston Martins leading 4
j today? two to one, in the "Little i
World Series." The largest crowds
ever to attend baseball games in this |
section are turning o.ut for the final j
[contests, and interest is running high, j
After taking the first game here las* {
Monday by a count of 8 to 3, William
ston lost a bitterly contested battle
Wednesday, rain making it necessary
to call off the Tuesday game at Eden
?nnf : T
The Wednesday game here was rat
ed one of the most interesting ever 1
played on the local diamond, the two
teams, excepting one rostly error in
the first frame, playing bang-up ball
to furnish thrill after thrill for the
nearly 700 spectators. The visitors
scored three of their four runs" in the
first after Brake had muffed a fly hall
in right field. The first inning de
velopments gave the Martins some
thing to shoot at, and made a perfect
setting for a perfect baseball game
from that time on throughout the con
test.
Kugler held the visitors to 8 hits, 1
while the Martins collected 10 off Fer
ebea. The visiting moundsnian was '
on the spot in nearly every inning, but
with able support from his teammates
he came through in most of them, nev- i
er allowing the Martins t<? SCQf? more
than one run in any single frame. A
ninth-inning rally was started urhm .
Gardner, pinch-hitting for Kugler, de- 1
livered for the fifth time as a pinch
hitter, sent one down the first-base
line for two bases. Harp struck out, 1
Gardner going to third passed
ball, Gaylord was out at first, and
Gardner acorpd the last run of the
game on Brogden's single. ? j
Yesterday, the Martips^jflfftjut tp
Edenton to take a one-game lead over
their opponents They knocked out
Olgers and Hoen*. and made 10 runs
on 8 hits. The Colonials were bub
bling over with errors, the 8 miscues
contributing to the large score. I he
Martins, while not quite so liberal,
made three errors to aid Edenton
make its lone tally of the game in the
second inning. Gardner led at' bat
with three hits, two for extra bases, j
Uaale was next with a double and
single. Gaylord knocked a home run
with one on.
The two teams play here tomorrow,
and if the series lasts untjL Sunday
they will play at Edenton that after- (
noon. The winners of the Albemarle

TRENCH silo dug
ON DAIRY FARM
Martin and Weaver Store
Tons of Feed in Newly
Dug Silo Here
Much has been said and written a
bout trench silos, but Messrs. Mar
tin and Weaver, .operators of the Edge
wood Dairy, here, were the first ty,
dig and fill one of the storage units in
this section. ?"-Dug under the direc
tion of specialists, the silo was filled
this week with many tons of silage.
The silo is of considerable size.
The trench silo has been found to
be one of the most economical ways
of keeping green feed for use during
tile following fall anil winter. It is
nothing hut a trench dug in the ground
where the water does not rise to any
depth. No particular measurement
is necessary, and the trench can be
as wide and long as necessary to meet
it is fitted Wlttl siUge, the trench is
we red with straw or like material
to keep the dirt from the feed, the
dirt cover being thick enough to
keep the air from the feed.
Experiments have proven this metli
od to he the cheapest for feeding
cows and other stock.

The judge also directed a warning

the asylum for the insane in Raleigh
early Wdnesday morning.
Two of the escapees were recaptured
in Johnston County yesterday, but no
trace of the others, one of whom was
sentenced to prison for murder, had
been established today, as far as it
could be learned here.
