?
Meeting in regular session here
next Monday, the Martin Commis
sioners are scheduled to get their
first look into the county's basic tax
structure?the listings by the sever
al townships. Very little business is
slated for the commissioners' con
sideration at that time, but it is like
ly that a varied number of problems
will present themselves before the
meeting is adjourned by Chairman
J. E. Pope.
The slot machine question has vir
tually been settled, the Attorney
General ruling that the commission
ers do not have the power to refuse
machine owners licenses necessary
to the operation of the gadgets. It is
likely that the operation of the ma
chines will be discussed and that au
thorities will instruct officers to
maintain a close watch over the
machines and to exercise to the lim
it the county's taxing power.
Late reports from County Tax Su
pervisor S. H. Grimes will likely be
encouraging to the commissioners
in that they are expected to show
that the property valuation in the
county will remain about the same
and possibly show a slight gain. Un
official estimates released for the
Williamston township listings indi
cate there'll be an increase of ap
proximately $80,000 in the district
listings this year over those for 1938
The North Carolina Pulp Company
property listings in the county are
said to be around $25,000 greater
than they were a year ago, and that
figure combined with the gain in
this township is expected to offset
the losses that are being reported
by several townships.
About half of the townships have
turned in their tax books already
and most if not all the other list
takers are expected to get their
books in tomorrow

Library Will Get
Valuable Addition
The Williamston public library is
to be the recipient in the very near
future of a set of the new 1939 edi
tion of the Americana. The board
of directors of the local Kiwanis
club voted last night to purchase the
new set of books and make them
available to the general public.
"Hie policy of the library commit
tee has been that of procuring those
titles thai would tend to popularize
the use of the library since its funds
were so limited and the cost of ref
erence material made it prohibitive
with such a small budget. This set
of reference books, which heads the
Hsts for high school, college and pub
lic libraries, will greatly supplement
the set now had in our high school
library, due to its just having been
The library committee is grateful
that they can not begin to build its

Modern Slot Machine Offers
Com petition for Lowly Nickel
Re-introduced in the county main
ly in and near Williamston yester
day, the slot machine is now making
a strong bid for the lowly nickel.
Just how much keen competitipn
the modern gadget will offer is prob
lematical at this time, reports stat
ing that after the Attorney General
got through with his ruling there
was little or nothing left, and that
the machines are not attracting as
much attention as had been expect
ed
Centered in Williamston, nineteen
machines were "planted" in the
county yesterday. Owners of the six
teen gadgets placed in Williamston
stores, business houses, hotels and
filling stations paid the town treas
urer $160, the county collecting $10
from each machine to boost the to
tal tax to $350 for town and county.
The machine was not invading oth
er sections of the county, but the
owners, making a test with the ma
chines here, are expected to cover
the territory within a short turn
Unofficial reports state that two
solid carloads of the machines were
unloaded in one eastern Carolina
town the early part of this week.
Within themselves, the machines
offer little opportunity for gambling,
and because they are so tame and
because they offer no immediate re
turn, the gadgets are not expected
to gain very much patronage.
The State of North Carolina has
delayed the collection of taxes for
a few days, but in taking that ac
tion the deputy collectors warned
the owners of business houses where
machines are located are spbject to
indictment if proper licenses are not
posted on or before the last of this
month. No days of grace were allow
ed by the town and county, the offi
cers of the two political subdivisions
before the first ball rolled.

In County Recently
*
Crime, as a general thing, is tuk
ing a fairly long holiday in the
county these days, the county recor
der's court experiencing a slump
that is common more or less to the
quiet period enfping about the mid
dle of July and early August
I.ast Monday, Judge H. O. Peel
called only four minor cases during
the one hour the court was in ses
sion. Only a small attendance was
reported, and the proceedings at
tracted very little attention.
The case charging Johnnie Peel
with non-support was again contin
ued. Judge Peel last week set the
case for trial last Monday, but con
tinued it until June 5.
Eli Evans, charged with an as
sault with a deadly weapon, was
sentenced to the roads for two
months. Evans, arrested in Raleigh
nearly two weeks ago, was wanted
in this county for a knife attack on
Willie James Johnson which took
place following a quarrel in a crap
game.
Charged with the possession of il
legal whiskey for the purpose of
sale, J. R. Harrison was sentenced to
the roads for six months. Judge Peel
ordered the defendant to appear be
fore the court on the first Monday in
November and begin serving the
sentence.
Weldon Arnold, charged with be
ing drunk and disorderly, was sen
tenced to the roads for thirty days.
Jack Neal, a second defendant in
the case, did not answer when call
ed and the court ordered his immed
iate arrest.
While liquor law enforcement of
ficers had a fairly busy period last
week, regular county officers and
Jailer Roy Peel are enjoying the
very next thing to a vacation as far
as chasing criminals and caring for
jail inmates are concerned. During
tne past two weeks the number of
arrests made in the seven-day per
iods has hardly exceeded the daily
average recorded in other periods.
Very few persons, charged with vio
lation of laws in this county, are in
jail, and quiet rules the crime front
all the way around.

Hope For Agriculture Renin |

Behind the quietness surrounding
the business front over the country
and especially in the agricultural
South at the present time rests a
silver lining that is stirring the prog
nosticates to action. Recent reports
are really encouraging along all
fronts ami with an election year in
the offing, good times can reason
ably be expected. However, in addi
tion to that fact, the basic founda
tions to general business are bright
er than at any time in recent months.
The fellows holding to the public
pulse say a better feeling can well
be recorded over the outlook for
general business. While the current
figures are a bit disheartening and
while May, like April, is being writ
ten off as a poor month, some im
provement is expected in June with
a gradual but steady climb to good
business in the fall.
It is explained that the war scare
is just about over and that world
wide confidence is being establish
ed on a fairly substantial foundation.
Strenuous efforts go forward to
build up increased world trade.
Coming to the national front, bus
iness and government are working
closer together to promote an in
creased business program. Supple
menting those efforts will be an ex
tensive governmental program to
meet actual relief needs and pro
mote a general advancement pro
gram. ?
Consumers are already beginning
to use goods faster than industry has
been producing them.
Reliable reports indicate that the
national debt is not such a big prob
lem after all. The forty billion dol
lar debt is reduced to less than 30
when loans are taken into consider
ation. Ten of the major government
agencies have lent in the past few
years approximately eleven billion
dollars. Nearly half that amount has
been repaid, and the earnings to the
government approximate three
quarters of a billion dollars. The rec
ord of Uncle Sam as a banker is en
couraging, and his further partici
pation in the banking field is cer
tain to have a favorable effect.
Looking into the future for agri
culture, the picture is not so dark,
after all. Recent plans to call a vote
on tobacco control carry hope for the
tobacco sections. No panacea is even

Local Library Gets
Favoraltle Comment
Inspecting the local public library
yesterday, Miss Margaret Gilbert,
of the North Carolina Library Com
mission, Raleigh, commented very
favorably on the work that had been
done and the interest shown in pro
moting the institution. "It is quite a
credit to Williamston for its civic
organizations and interested citizens
to give such generous support in
making the institution possible."
Miss Gilbert also said that she knew
of no place that had developed such
an efficient service in such a brief
time."

Municipal Pool Is
Formally Opened
Here On Thursday
Hundred* Crowd Bu*in Be
fore Kuiu Forces Shut
down in Afternoon
Williamston's $24,000 municipal
swimming pool was formally opened
yesterday morning under the spon
sorship of the local parent-teacher i
association. Despite adverse circum
stances, the event was quite success
ful, the sponsors cleared around $80.
$40.65 from the baby contest, $31
from the dance and about $19 from
paid admissions to the pool.
With the exception of the parade,
planned ceremonies celebrating the
opening of the pool were washed out
here Thursday night
Due to the inclement weather the
pool was Trot opened at night and
the scheduled street dance had to be
held in the American Legion Hut.
Several speeches were scheduled
for the celebration but with only a
small crowd on hand the speakers
made their remarks short and sweet.
Pete Fowden, master of ceremonies,
introduced the mayor, John L. Has
sell John had a pretty speech plan
ned for the occasion but wet skies
hid the moon, the surrounding hills
and ravines and he made his usual
timely and appropriate remarks
brief. Mr. Hassell introduced Lee
Wallace, area superintendent. Mr
Wallace, before introducing Glen L.
Bohtkitt, state director of operations,
thanked Williamston and its citizens
for the fine cooperation shown the
employees of the Works Progress
Administration since they first came
to Williamston. Mr. Bobbitt spoke
very briefly. He stated that it was
alwuys a pleasure for the WPA to
assist Williamston in whatever way
possible "The people of Williamston
are cooperative and hospitable and
are worthy of the best." Mr Bobbitt
said.
Mi Fowden read the votes of the
contestants in the baby contest spon
sored by the Parentil-Teachers asso
ciation. Bobby Coburn, with 2293
votes won the contest. He was spon
sored by Patsy King and Nona Mel
son.
J. B. Taylor and Dora Twiddy
were recognized for having sold the
most tickets to the dance.
Native Of County
Dir.h In Pasadena
David W. Corey, native of this
county, died suddenly at his home
in Pu.sadena, Calif., last week-end,
the meagre reports received here
giving little detailed information
about his death.
The son of the late Joseph and
Hannah Jane Corey, he was born
and reared in Griffins Township.
When a young man he went to Beth
el and learned the irish potato busi
ness as an employee of the late M
O. Blount, of Pitt County. Later he
moved to Maine where he became a
prominent figure in the Irish potato
business. Ill health forced him to
sever his business connections in
that Stale and he moved and settled
in California where he was promi
nen tly" connected with a large gro
cery chain as director of its extcn
sive operations in the Irish potato
business.
Mr. Corey seldom returned to his
old home for visits during the ap
proximately forty- years -bo lived in
other states. In addition to his own
immediate family, he is survived by
several brothers and sisters, includ
ing Mr A. Corey, of Jamesville, and
Mrs. Dora Roebuck, of Roberson
ville.
Jamesville Votes
A Straight Ticket
Showing a marked interest in a
wide-awake town government,
Jamesville citizens last Tuesday cast
thirty votes for a new board of com
missioners and for a nominee for
mayor who moved away just a few
days ago. It was rumored that the
names of independent candidates
would be written in on the regular
ticket, but the voters were consist
ent in their actions and it was a
clean sweep for the convention nom
inees.
Nominated for mayor, Dr. W. T
Gibson moved away several days
ago, and the new commissioners will
now fill the position by special ap
pointment possibly at their first ]
meeting this month.
No policy for the operation of the
town governmental activities has I
been advanced by the newly elect
ed officers, but it is generally under
stood that the citizens are expecting j
a number of changes in the old pol
icies.
The names of the new board mem
bers are: Messrs. C. C. Fleming, Joe
Holliday and O W. Hamilton. They"
are succeeding Messrs. C. A. Askew,
Claronce Sexton and Watson Waters.
Moving To Northern Maft?

tom. all local business establishments
will observe a half-holiday sched
ule during the months of June. July
and most of August, the schedule to
go into effect next Wednesday after
noon and continue on the same day

Wednesday and making it possible
for the stores to close promptly at

Com Lined Personal and Ileal
Property Value* lnereaned
By $81,810.00
The downward trend in county j
property values reported by several'
townships the latter part of last
month was definitely checked in the
report submitted by List-taker H.
M Hurras for Williamston Township
yesterday. If other townships in the
county not yet reported will show
only nominal losses, it is possible
that county values will exceed those
of last year, according to County Tax
Supervisor S. H. Grimes following a
study of the lists now on file in his
office.
The tax outlook, certainly as far as
values are Concerned, looks far more
encouraging now than it did a few
years ago when the first of the town
ships to submit the* 1939 list of val
ue's reported a loss of approximately
$15,090. Had that decrease been pro
portionately maintained, a decrease
of possibly more* than $200,()do could
have been cxpeeteel in the county
property values.
With its total listings, exclusive of
corporation values, aeleling up to
$2,455,745, Williamston Township
reported a gain of $81,840, both its
personal and real value's showing
increase's. The greater part of the
gain is centered in real listings which
incrcase'd from $1,890,265 to $1,754,
345. The 1939 gain over 1938 was
only a few thousand dollars small
er than the 1938 gain over 1937. I>ast
year this township reported a gain
of $88,694 over Uie listings of the
year before.
A comparative review of the 1938
and 1939 listings is as follows:
