the sixth successive time, Gardner lasl
Friday knocked out the ball for two
bases, scoring the winning run on ,
Gaddy's two-base hit a few seconds
later.
The last Friday game here was an

7 to 6 in a 10-inning battle. Gaddy |
pitched and allowed 11 hits while he i
and his teammates accounted for 12.

in the?eighth with a hlisteieil fiifger ?
for the second time during the week
and was relieved by Kugler, who al
lowed 1 hit for the remainder of the
distance. Cherry was charged with
the loss. Uzsle accounted for three

ferred to the atate tea collector.

the first day the markets opened,

Local Market Is Attracting Many New
Customers; Prices Are Holding Up Well
PLAN PROGRAM
BEHALF OF IRISH
POTATO FARMER
Meeting Will Be Held In
Washington, N. C. On
September 20th
Congressman Lindsay C. Warren
has called a meeting of potato grow
ers from North Carolina and the East
ern shore of Virginia at Washington
N. C., to he held on September 24. at
10:30 a. in., it was announced here
this week.
The purpose of the meeting, accord
ing to Mr. Warren is for definite ac
tion in behalf of potato growers
whose condition he described as one
A "agricultural serfdom".
While the congressman is strongly
in- favor of making potatoes a basic
commodity under the Agricultural
\djustment Act, and is ready to lead
the fight for that purpose, he state-.!
that the most vital thing for the pres
ent was the curtailment and regula
ion of the 1935 crop. He thinks that
there is great opposition among the
{rowers to the proposed marketing a
{reement now being offered for sig
natures and believes that it ought to
n vitally amended.
According to advance notices the
neeting will he perhaps the largest of
ts kind ever held as Mr Warren says
t will be a growers' meeting and is
called for their benefit, Chester C.
Davis, administrator of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration has
>een invited and also Governor J. C.
Ehrtnghans who has shown much
interest in the problem.
A. E.-Mercker, potato specialist ot
he Department of Agriculture was in
ihis section last - week ami li^d a~
lengthy conference on the subject
with Mr. Warren and the Beaufort
o u 111 y ~~f aTiiTa^c ntT
Chief among the troubles with the
marketing agreement is the fact that
it does not control production for
1935. While it limits the amount of
potatoes than can he shipped it does
lot attempt to regulate the acreage or
volume of spuds grown, and thus lays
the growers open to uncertainty ami
lossihle unfair treatment.
Under the agreement, state, county
Hid district allotments would he dc
ermined some time in October, Next
?pring, after planting has been com
pleted, the growers would make ap
plication for their*allotments on th
lasis of their plantings for the year
mtf the size of the crops they intend
:d to raise.
In that way a man would already
lave invested money in fertilizer and
vork m planting before knowing How
much of it would bring him returns.
A- farmer who jumped his acreage
ligli for next year also would he able
to take advantage of his neighbors
who had kept their acreage at the same
igure, since under the agreement his
permitted quota would he based on
he year's plantings, without reference
0 his work in previous years.
It is expected that at the called
neeting an attempt will he made to
intend the marketing agreement by
providing for definite allotments be
fore planting time, and basing them
hi the potato acreage raised over the
)ast five years, which would furnish
1 base.
Chas. Bailey Seriously Hurt
By Fouled Ball Here Friday
Mr. Chas. Bailey, of near Everetts,
was seriously hurt when struck on
fie head by a fouled ball at the base
pall game here last Friday afternoon.
His condition was considered critical
lor two or three days, but last reports
from a Washington hospital where
le was carried for treatment, indicat
ed that he was getting along very,
well and is expected to recover. '
Mr. Bailey was standing along the j
first-base line, witnesses stating that
the ball was knocked so hard by an
Edenton batter mat the man was un
ible to get out of its path.

Measles Epidemic About
Spent In This County
I
According to the August report of
the county health office, the epidemic
of measles experienced in several sec
tions of this county during the past
several months has ju^t about spent
itself. Only one case of the measles
was reported in the ;3dunTy~Iasl month
and that was in Williamston Town
ship.
The report for the period is a very
favorable one, showing only three oth
er cases of contagious diseases report
ed in the county. Two cases of diph
theria were reported in Kobersohville
Township and one case of pellagra
was reported in Williamston Town
ship.
Longer Hours Observed
By Branch Bank Here
?
Under special provision in the bank
trV (ode, the Branch Banking & Trust
Company is observing longer hanking
hours here during the tobacco market
ing season. The institution continues
open for the tobacco sales and on Sat
urday remains open until 2 o'clock in
stead of closing at 12, the closing hour
prior to the marketing season.
ONE OF LARGEST
BREAKS OF YEAR
ON FLOOR TODAY
?
More Than 225,000 Pounds
On Floors Today and
Prices Are Firm
?
The Williamston , tobacco market,
with one of the largest breaks on its
Hoors of the season today, continued
its stride as one of the east's most
promising marketing centers. Prices
continue firm, and farmers were re
ported very well pleased with their
?Sai^s. More than m) farmers when
questioned this morning readily stated
that tobacco was selling high on the
local market, that the prices wers
holding firm as compared with those
paid since the market opened on the
<Mrd of last month. -
While the prices for the poorer
quality grades are holding their own,
those for the better grades were con
sidered some stronger, with averages
above 40 cents fairly numerous. Things
continue to look up and up on the
local market with new customers com
ing to the market in considerable
numbers. Judging from comments
front many farmers and close market
observers, the Williamston market is
off to one of its most sii cessful ->tart^
in its history. A mutual understand
ing pervades the market and every
one is smiling
The rush to place offerings on the
floors here this morning was one of
the greatest experienced by the mar
ket in years. Trucks and horse-drawn
vehicles wire lined uu in the streets
awaiting entrance, and unloading oper
atioiis were carried on from side
doors and windows." Additional help
was added to tllf alrcil'lv large li^t
of "* workers,* and ' toSacccT was being
placed oli the floors as rapidly as at
Tobacco was on the floors here to
day from at least seven counties, and
patronage from this section was con
sidered the most uniform in many
seasons.
Promptly at V o'clock, Supervisor
of Sales R. W. Mclarland hail the
selling underway with the sales man
agers and buyers settling down to
their task in a business-like way and
after clock like precision.
While xi^is believed by many that
the market will experience block sales
today, others said there was a small
possibility of clearing the floors in
the time alloted under the warehouse
code. The sales organizations and buy
ers are losing no time, but continue
at a steady clip in handling the of
ferings.
