ESTABLISHED 1899 State Department Acts Against Slot Machine Operators Warrant Taken for Greenville Operator; Returnable Friday The first crack-down by the State in Martin County on alleged viola tions of the 1939 slot machine law came Monday, when L. D. McCor mick, of Greenville, was charged with operation of a slot machine without proper State license. McCormick represents the McCor mick Vending Machine Company, distributor of slot machines. The warrant, taken out by Jack Hinton. deputy inspector for the State de partment of revenue, is returnable Friday morning at 10 o'clock, before Justice of the Peace J. L. Hassell. j North Carolina law imposes a $25 j fine for each machine each day it, is operated without proper license. Each day's illegal operation consti tutes a separate offense. There are 45 licensed slot machines in Martin County. Of these, probably one-third are situated in the town of Williamston. The other two-thirds are scattered through the county, with most of them situated in the towns and villages The action taken Monday was the first in this county since the passage of the 1939 law allowing the licens ing of slot machines. The way in which the slot machine law alleged - ly was violated by the Greenville slot machine distributors was not dis closed by officers yesterday Rumor has had it for some time that slot machines have been oper ated illegally in the county, without proper license, but no official act had been taken until Monday. Hinton did not say whether any further warrants will be taken out soon in this county in connection with alleged illegal operation Says Arrest False. Man Asking $2,500 Alleging he was falsely arrested, S. B Smithey, Martin County man, filed suit for $2,500 in the Martin County Superior court this week against Efird'? Department Store, of Greenville, and J G. Stokes and C T Webb. In the complaint filed by Attorney Clarence Griffin, it is alleged that a lady entered Efird's store in April of last year, purchased certain mer chandise and gave a check as pay ment for the goods payable to Efird's Department Store and signing the name of S. B. Smithey to the check in the presence of defendant's agents and employees. It is further alleged in the com plaint that on May 11 of this year, a j warrant was issued and the plaintiff ] was arrested and charged with giv ing a worthless check to the defend- I ant. On last May 30, the plaintiff J states that he was tried before a jus tice of the peace in Greenville and | adjudged not guilty. Smithey is asking $2,CO actual and j $500 punitive damages. 'Curing Ram And Pack-house Burn Costly fires swept down on the J. T. Matthews farm between Oak City and Hobgood last Saturday evening and night and destroyed a tobacco curing barn and the farmer's pack house. The curing barn, believed to have' been fired by falling leaves on the flues, was borned early that evening. Later that night fire,?believed to have been of inciendiary origin, de stroyed the large packhouse and three barns of tobacco along with a quantity of feeds. It could not be learned here if in surance was carried on the proper ty. An incomplete survey of the coun ty shows that eight curing barns In addition to the loss on the Matthews farm have been destroyed by fire so far thii season. According to reports, the following farmers have lost cuf ing barns: J. B. Barnhill, Tan Cher -ry, Perlie Lillcy. -Sherwnnrl- Rnherr_ son, W. T Hurst, J. C. Ross, W. T. Andrews and Abe Gray. John A.

Town's Oldest Resident Died Yesterday Morning Adeline Duggan, highly respected colored citizen, died at her West Main Street home here yesterday morning at 10 o'clock following a long period of declining health. Born in slavery, she was said to be 95 or more years old. For almost half a century she was a faithful servant in the Fowden household. Her last days were spent in comfort, and the end came peaceably as she slept. Even in slavery she was faithful to her master and helped hide what little silverware and other articles that were in her master's home. Funeral services are being con ducted from the Shiloh Baptist church on Elm Street this afternoon at I o'clock, and interment will fol low in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. Critical Period Still Facing Farmers Of Martin County Struggling to harvest a tobacco crop that is literally running away because it is ripening so rapidly, Martin County farmers continue in the middle of a critical period as far as making a success or failure in their farming efforts this season. Nothing like a complete failure is even sug gested. but uncertainty surrounds the efforts of hundreds of farmers who would properly harvest and save all their tobacco, according to reliable reports reaching here today from all parts of the county. Heavy week-end rains followed by hot sunshine and sweltering heat have aggrevated the farming situa tion, and it is now forecasted that some farmers are almost certain to lose any where from ten to forty per cent of their tobacco. Large amounts of the leaf have burned in the fields. In some few cases, tobacco, after it w?;i pulled and tied to the sticks, has rotted because there wasn't room in the curing barns. Crowding their barns, farmers in some instances were forced to . run such high heats that they created extra fire hazards and contributed to what is apparently the greatest fire loss in the county in several years. Farmers explain that where they should put only GOO sticks they are packing 900. and where they should put 900, they are crowding in as many as twelve and thirteen hundred. The practice, farmers ad mit, is affecting quality. Last but not least, farmers are about to work and worry themselves to death with the current tobacco crop. Conditions in other counties are reported more serious. Faced with a shortage of wood and sticks, farm ers there are said to be paying as high us $H a cord for wood and up to $18 and $20 a thoutaod fnr atidd I INDICTMENTS According to unofficial infor mation received yesterday, ten or twelve persons in Martin County are subject to indictment for failure to list taxes for 1939. Warrants have been prepar ed by Tax Supervisor Grimes, and a hearing will be held be fore Recorder H. O. Peel in the County court next Monday, it was statrd. Most of the defendants are col ored who allegedly have been escaping poll tax payments.

Planning Federal Survey 01 Dairies In Martin County Sellers of Grade "I)" Milk IlirtTletl To Proeiire Permit* According t'1 information coming from the Martin County Health De partment, the United States Health Service will make a milk survey in the county within the near future, Sanitarian Charles Leonard stating that no advanced notice of the date for the survey would be released by the representatives of the federal de partment. The main part of the survey will be centered around the four "A" grade dairies, but compliance with the laws by individual sellers of milk will be checked, it ^vas stated?? Sanitarian Leonard stated that most if not all the established dair ies are ready for the federal service inspectors, that he felt certain the county would rate the federal k?>v ernment's milk honor roll. The sur vey is the first to be conducted un der the county-wide milk ordinance and if a grade of 90 or more is earn ed, the county will be included on the milk honor roll and published in pamphlets thjit have nation-wide circulation. "We have some of the best dairies | in eastern North Carolina now, and since the milk ordinances were pass ed, the consumption of milk has materially increased," Sanitarian Leonard said. It is estimated that more than 200 gallons of grade "A" milk are being sold in the county at this time, and a sizable increase is anticipated during the fall and win ter months. During the survey planned for the riTTXt few days, the federal health ser vice representative will check the application of regulations for the sale of class "D" milk. Individual sellers are urged to get permits, and have their cows tested for tubercu losis and other diseases prior to the survey. Permits are obtainable from the county health department and .Sanitarian Leonard will be glad to outline the rules and regulations governing the sale of Class "D" milk Individual sellers who do not nro cUre permits to sell class "D" milk are. subject to prosecution More Trouble For Tobacco Farmers The cares and woes of tobacco far mers were added to during the past fields of this belt and started eating away the green leaf. The tiny new insect is destroying whole fields of tobacco in the Wilson section, according to farmers and warehousemen of that section So small that it is almost invisible to the naked eye, the insect is green shape. Tobacco experts, including ware housemen, farmers and soil conser vation men, have studied the insect under the microscope, but have been unable to type it. Leaves containing the insecTTicTve~heen sent to KallTigfi for examination by the State Exten sion Bureau, it is reported. Howard Watson, member of the Wilson County ' Soil Conservation committee and farmer in the Wilson section for the last 40 years, said that he had never seen anything like the insect before. Increase Reported In K'hooping Cough Cases Health authorities turned to the courts today in an effort to check a spreading epidemic of whooping cough here. The action was taken when sixteen cases of the cough were reported in a block on Hatton Street among the colored population. The territory was quarantined immedi ately, and warnings were issued against a violation of the barriers. Four persons were indected at the direction of the department this mprning for alleged violation of re strictions placed around a neighbor hood on Griffins Street. The ca? are to be heard before Justice Has sell Thursday evening. Frank C. Bennett Died Saturday At Home Near Here Funeral for Kctirt'<l BiiftTiie** Man Ami Farmer F Held Sunday ? Frank C. Bennett, well-known county farmer and retired business man, died at his home on the Mc Caskey Koad, near here last Satur day morning following an illness of about eight years' duration. Mr. Ben nett, confined to his bed during the greater part of the past two years, retired from active business more than ten years ago, but supervised his farming operations from his bed almost to the time of his death The son of the late Calvin and Ma tilda Straw bridge Bepnett, he was hiirn III) tin* t'.irm wlu-iV h?? nriHi- lik home all his life. In young mannood he warned Miss Klla Coburn-wlm died some years ago.

He was a successful. farfner and a man who was interested u? the welfare and advancement of his fel iowmen. Conscious to the last, he bore his affliction without complaint. In 1926 he formed a partnership in the tobacco warehouse business here j^ith Banihill and Morton for the op eration of the Farmers Warehouse. Three-years later,he "was in partner? ship for the operation of the same! house with Barnhili and Veasey, re-1 tiring at the end of that year on ac count of failing health. One Injured As Car Crashes Into Truck Thomas Lawrence Roberson suf fered a bruised right arm as the only casualty of a collision on the Rnber sonville highway just outside of Williamston Monday afternoon The car in which Mr Roberson was rid ing, and which was driven by C. II. Ayers, Martin County farmer, was badly smashed in front. Damage was estimated at $300. The car caught fire after the smash-up but the blaze was quickly extinguished when dirt was thrown on the engine. The accident was investigated by State Highway Patrolman Scarbor ough, of Windsor. The car driven by Ayers, a 1939 Ford, was hoadmg?fur Williamston. A truck, owned by the Thurston truck lines, of Wilson, was ahead. As the truck turned to its right intn the prison ramp mad, the car crashed into the truck's rear, state police said. Colored Woman Lout In Ditch Near Here Tempie Williams, 84-year-old Ne gri. u/nman who lives hn the McCas key Road three miles from William ston, must have prayed well in church Saturday, and her faith in the Alnughty must be greater today than ever before. For apparently, the Lord took good care of her that night. At any rate, Tempie, who was born six years before the War Be tween the Stairs, went thTQUgll^^M hours of exposure in a ditch ,near hei home and came out little the worse for her experience. Saturday morning, the old colored woman trudged the three miles to Wilhamston to attend church. After ward, a moionsi gave ner a ride as far as the Williamston fair ground, at which point the McCaskey Road leaves the Robersonville highway. The stifling early afternoon heat was too much for Tempie, and she got to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad crossing, she apparently lost her way and wandered down the track. A searching party late Sunday, found her dress, hat and shoes a short distance down the track from the crossing, and feared that some vio lence had come to the old woman. However, farther down the track, the searchers found her in a ditch. They took her home, and she seem ed to be suffering only from exhaus tion. The exposure to the broiling sun and later the moisture of the ditch and the night air evidently had done her less harm than it might have to a person one-fourth her age. The explanation of her dress, hat and shoes along the track probably lies in her desire to get out of some of her clothes to escape the steaming heat following the rain of the i al days preceding. Georgia Leal Markets Average A ear 16 Cents I upeiuii^-uav Price Not As Low As \\ as Generally Expected 4 Karl) I'rirr Avcragt'* Unnge Vrouml lOLmtsRcloH l,a*t Yfar Figure* Reporting on the early sales at Valdosta this morning, Jack Hardi son, local man. in a telegraphic com munication said. "First eight rows averaged $15. Qua!itv bright but thin leaf." A second report received from J. K. Griffin, local man. a short time later trom ttie same miukel. siaied. "Tobacco selling from one to twon ly five Tcrrtscnnd averaging around sixteen cents. Quality poor." Starting the. annual marketing of their crop today. Georgia tobacco farmers are receiving from seven to ten cents less per pound for the golden leaf than they received on opening day last year, but little com plaint was registered as the sales continued at a slow pace into the afternoon Starting off at about 15 cents pound, thc~*alcs apparently gain strength as the day progressed, late press reports indicating that some markets would claim an ltt-cent av t? age at the close of the sales late .nis afternoon. Individual sales at Valalia rang ed from seven to twenty-five cents. Hazclhurst quoted a price range of eight to twenty two cents. Increased production throughout the tobacco-growing territories was recognize^ as a depressing price fac tor However, after considering the poorer quality and heavy production observers consideri? d the early prices fairly encouraging and not as low as many had expected. Heavy rains fell in the southern belt .and poor qual lty was evident on all the markets. ?The American Tobacco Company, early reports stated, was buying heavily, but all companies were on the markets. In Florida, four million pounds of the loaf wore placed on two markets, Live Oak and Lake City. Farly forecasts on Goergia-Florida tobacco production indicated ? there would bo a substantial increase in the crop, that the 35,000 farmers would produce in excess of one hundred million pounds. More re cent reports maintain that unfavor able weather conditions have cur tailed the crop, and that the produc tion will hardly exceed ninety mil lion pounds. According to general reports com ing from the Georgia area, the qual 4ty of the crop there this year hiinr ferior to that-*of a year .ago The marketing centers throughout the belt were jammed with tobacco, direct reports stating that farmers had their wagons lined up for blocks in some marketing centefs waiting to place their offerings on the auc tion floors. Sweltering heat and crowded houses retarded the sales which were described as listless in several of the markets. According to the preliminary un official but reliable reports, Georgia farmers will realize from three to four million dollars less for the cur rent crop than they received last year. While a marked production in crease did not materialize, the poor quality of the crop there and the ex pected poundage increase in this and other belts are advanced as the main icasons fur the apparent 1(1 cent price differential between the 1938 and 1939 price averages for the opening day sales. Basing their prediction on the first reports coming out of .^Georgia, local tobacconists are of the opinion tha* the prices in this belt should aver age around seventeen cents when the marketing season gets underway here on August 22 TOBACCO MAI) "Farmers in this section have gone tobacco mad," a traveller said here toda>. According to the traveller, there are cases where sixteen acres of tobacco were planted with only two small cur ing barns to care for it. Looses are heavy in such cases. Pitt and Beaufort farmers have been scouring Martin County for curing wood and tobacco sticks, the prices ranging as high as $8 a cord for the wood and $18-$20 for a thousand sticks. Some tobacco has not been topped. Suckers are sapping the life out of the crop in numbers of fields. Many farmers realize now they planted too much, that they will he unahle to save the crop in its entirety. $10.0(10 Alienation Suit Is Started In Comity List Week Colored Citizen Taken l)|inct lliiinenlii' Affairs T o Tile Courts A $10,000 alienation of affections suit has been filed in Martin County Superior court by one Negro, Henry Lewis, against another.

The plaintiff further mourns his lost love in the complaint thus: "The -defendant has destroyed- plaintiff's happiness and home forever, and that the loss of his said wife, her comfort and assistance, and her af fections and companionship has caused him to suffer both mentally and physically" to the tune of $10, 000.

Miss Lora E. Sleeper, home agent, accompanied the young group to Raleigh Highway A ccident RecorcL For the second week in succession, Martin County motorists have aided the cause of safety on the highways, unofficial reports show ing no loss of life or property damage during the week ending last Sunday night. There was a lot of "luck" riding the highways with the travel ers, for the casual observer saw flagrant violations of the highway laws as drivers went tearing through stop signs and around blind corners. Showing impatience with the normal traffic speed, drivers were seen dashing out of regular traffic lanes to rush on to their des tination where nothing particularly important was to be done upon their arrival there. The traffic dangers are still existent, and wrecks are to be ex pected in due time, and it is to be expected that the driver who ex ercises due care will be the victim of the careless one. It is encour nging, however, to note another period marked by the absence of slaughter and property wrecking on the highways.
