B C. officers from Beaufort captured two liquor stills and poured out about 900 gallons of beer. The offi cers destroyed about twelve gallons of liquor hidden near one of the plants. One of the kettles was of 75 gallon capacity and the other held about 50 gallons. Both plants had been in operation recently, the offi cers stating that one of the kettles was still hot when they reached it. This morning. Officers Roebuck and Haislip wrecked a plant in Wil liamston Township in the old Bear Trap Millpond area and poured out 150 gallons of beer The plant was equipped with a 50-gallon capacity drum and had a wooden keg for a cap. =#= Mr. W. H. Basnight, prominent eastern Carolina business man, and Mr. Johnson, of Ahoskie, attended the basetell game here Thursday af ternoon. Mr. Emory S. McCabe and chil dren, Miss Olive and Emory, Jr., vis ited friends here a short while Wed nesday. They were on their way from Florida to their home in Mary Will Discontinue Passenger Train Service Here June 30 Passenger train service, offered for years by the Atlantic Coast Line rail road between Plymouth and Par mele, will be discontinued on June 30, according to present plans of the company, it was unofficially learn ed here yesterday. While plans were effected for the removal of passen ger trains between the two points, N. G. Bartlett's wide-awake East Car olina Chamber of Commerce had the old reliable Coast Line to sched ule an air cohditioned train for ser vice between Kinston and Rocky Mount via Parmele and Tarboro. Offering schedules that date back to the early railroad days, the Coast Line received no expressed opposi tion from local people in its move to withdraw its passenger service at this point. Frequent and convenient bus schedules attracted traffic from the old-fashioned iron horse long months ago. ' ' While the removal of the trains is causing very little concern among them, local people are showing a keen interest in a mail and express service that will follow, hoping that more convenient schedules can be effected than those offered by the rail company. Effective July 1. the postoffice de partment will inaugurate a tempor ary star route service from Plymouth to Parmele and return. The carrier on the proposed route is to leave Plymouth at 9 a. m. and reach Par mele at 10:45. On the return trip he is to leave Parmele at 5:35 and reach Plymouth at 7:15. Plans for handling express be tween the two points have not been announced, but it is possible that the Coast Line will handle the ship ments in a special car attached to a freight train. It has been suggested that present truck line operators could institute an express schedule on a more ex tensive plan and offer a superior schedule. It is quite evident, how ever, that patrons here will have to accept whatever service is offered them until operations can be ad justed. LIBERAL The Great State of North Car olina is becoming more liberal as the years pass.

Effective this month and in addition to the increase In the chain store tax, the State is col lecting eight and one-half per rent on gross liquor sales as com pared with seven per cent col lected prior to the present month. No advance in liquor prices Is contemplated in Martin County in an effort to keep step with the taxing policy so liberally applied by the State.

Pulp Plant Will Not Be Enlarged In Martin County Strike Continue* To Hold Plant Idle in Lower Part of County Plans for a million dollar addition to the plant of the North Carolina Pulp Company in the lower part of this county were cancelled this week according to reliable information re ceived here yesterday. The an nouncemest was released without detailed comment, but it was inti mated that the owners were consid ering improving their plant equip ment for the manufagture of refined pulp wood for use in making food containers. Purchasing the finishing plant from a Richwood, W. Ya., manufac-" turer, the North Carolina Pulp com pany proposed to move the machin ery to this county some time ago. An unexplained delay followed and the recent announcement indicates that the plans have been abandon ed in the entirety. The plans for enlarging the coun ty plant and for the manufacture of a finished paper product were ad vanced to the point that ihe com- j pany was ready to let the construc tion contract, but something appar ently "chah ged the plans at the TaST minute. Officials of the company have not announced their plans for the future other than they will pos sibly consider improving their equipment for the manufacture of a refined product Closed down on April 8 by a strike in the main plant at Delair, N. J , the plant in this county continues idle, | and it cannot be learned just when. operations will be resumed. An ap parent misunderstanding between ] the company and the union mem bership has been virtually straight- [ etied out, giving rise to the possibil ity that activities will be resumed within the near future. Contrary to that possibility are unofficial re ports maintaining that tin- company has an over-supply of pulp on hand and that its plant in this county can possibly remain idle for six months and still fill its orders. A conference is being held in New York today between union members and company officials, unofficial reports indicating that possibly a definite date for re opening the plants in New Jersey and in the lower part of the county would be determined at that time. The following telegram was re ceived here today from a private source in New ?? "Hope is expressed here for an early settlement of the strike. A con ference was held Tuesduy between employers and strikers at the sug gestion. of J Norman Ludwick, chairman of Pennsauken Township Committee. All unions and the com pany wen1 represented Another conference is being held today."

An xious to take no chances, it is under stood that one or two defendants ef fected continuances in their cases, that others accepted verdicts they did Hot want to saccept in the lower courts rather than face Judge Thompson in the "big" court here next week Judge Thompson, hot so long on the bench, made a lasting impres sion during his brief stay here three months ago; He left little doubt in the minds of spectators and none in the minds of the defendants how he felt about stealing. Before the term was spent he had sentenced nineteen thieves and robbers to the roads or prison for a total of 76 years, ?Following Judge Thompson's vU ? it here last March, robbers and 'thieves went on a vacation, but af ter a few weeks the work was unr derway again. But it is interesting to note that the. number of robber ihs and stealing in general during the last three months is only half as large as the number of cases handled last March for the three months pre viotis to that titne. At that rate, Judge Thompson will have wiped out the robber and thief 111 this county be fore the one week term of Martin County Superior Court is ended next week. The docket facing the jurist ?rom Elizabeth City next week possibly outranks the one last March in im portance in tliat it carries a murder case and two manslaughter charges.
