ESTABLISHED 1899 Plans Go Forward For Strong County Farm Organization More Than KM) Farmers Hear Holland and Arnold Here Last Night ? Anticipating some tough batttles on the farm legislation front just a few weeks from now, Martin Coun ty farmers in a mass meeting here last evening advanced plans for a stronger organization to support its ranks when the course of agriculture will be plotted in the nation's legis lative halls next January. Opening the meeting held in the courthouse. C. A. Roberson, head of that tobacco farmers had received a fair price price considering, that pea nut prices were Scotched and that the farmer, as a rule, is in fairly good shape this year. "But we must look forward to next year and the years to follow,' Mr. Roberson said Continuing he pointed out, "We have been riding on the kite tail of the American Farm Bureau. Now we have got to act. We must join the or ganization and help in the fight, he said, adding that a strong organiza tion is needed now more than ever County Agent T B Brandon briefly addressed the group, and ably pointed out that the farmer was not receiving his share in the nation al income, that organization was necessary if parity and fair prices were to be had by the farpier. Nev er failing his old friend and hobby ?and a serious one with him, too? Brandon stated that Martin Coun ty is now about ready to start mov ing a quarter of a million bushels of sweet potatoes to the markets. Making the main address of the evening, but not centering his talk on proposals for a new peanut pro gram. R C. Holland, president of the North Carolina Peanut Stabiliza tion Cooperative, pointed out there is coming and coming soon a "New Day in Farming." He declared, "Ei ther we are going to make a busi ness of farming or we are going to lose our farms and go on relief with in five, even three years. Unless we go at the all-important task in a business-like way. some corpora tion?possibly the insurance com pames. the banks or some other highly efficient and organized busi ness unit?will take over agriculture and make money out of it." he ex plained. Holland, a firm believer in the Farm Bureau and a willing worker in its behalf, stressed the value of ^bookkeeping on the farm j and a strong organization to see that agriculture is represented in the national picture, that the farmer gets parity prices and equality "Farmers must organize to protect themselves, and demand a seat around the conference table along with business, industry and lalxir. and until farmers get around that conference table they will not get parity prices or share equality along with other industry " Continuing he said. A group of Southern farmers in an organization of their own cannot command at tention, but such a group in coop eration with farm groups in the Midwest can accomplish something." For the first time in Ijistory, the lowly peanut?a major corp in this section of the country and one that has claimed an undivided attention of Mr Holland for several years ? will be represented at the national meeting of the Farm Bureau in Chi cago next month. Mr. Holland plans to be there, to p.cad with the Am erican Bureau for help in pushing the cause of the peanut in Washing ton next January. But it will take a strong organization to do that, he said, adding that If peanut grow ers did not get a good program he would tell them why by planting time next year Recognizing the services of a di rector in the peanut stabilization co operative, Mr. Holland asked Mr. W R. Everett, of this county, to stand before the meeting R. G Arnold. Southeastern di rector for the Farm Bureau, plead ed with Martin farmers to boost their membership to 1,000 members, to be prepared to demand equal rights in Washington next January when the lowly peanut and other farm crops, too. will face a bitter battle against demands for an ever greater defense appropriation. The membership campaign in this county will be brought to a close next Thursday night when another mass meeting will be held here. Allege Violation? Of The Tobacco Scrap Law Unofficial reports heard here to day maintain that at least two men will face trial in the courts of this county week after next for the al leged violation of the tobacco scrap law. It was also learned that one of the alleged violators of the law had given a worthless check in pay ment for scrap bought from a far mer in a neighboring c6unty and that the check would be us&t bV the state in prosecuting the case. Representatives of the State De partment of Revenue are checking the sale of acrap and a number of dealers face trial in the courts of several tobacco counties in this lal. ? ?,?? \.. To Advance Plans for Local Chamber Commerce Tonight Plans for the organization of a lo cal chamber of commerce will be advanced at a meeting of business and professional men in the court house here this evening at 7 o'clock, if was announces yesterday by El bert'S. Peel,cfiimnan of the organ ization committee. A special invita tion is being issued to all business and professional men and others in terested in a progressive organiza tion, urging them to be present for the meeting. Preliminary plans for perfecting a local chamber of commerce were discussed some time ago, but a delay resulted when Attorney Carter Stud dert. a member of the organization committee, was transferred to a new field The undertaking has a strong support behind it and the oganiza tion plans are expected to get the approval of local business firm op erators and other citizens of the town. The need for a .strong chamber of' commerce has presented itself dur ing recent months m a marked way and citizens, interested in the fu ture of the town and community, "are earnestly seeking to perfect and build up a strong organization. In dividual citizens, acting in a semi official capacity, have handled the duties of a chamber of commerce organization year after year, but it is hardly reasonable to expect them to cannon that work for an indefi nite period. And. too, their individ ual duties make it impossible for them to devote as much time to the business of the organization as is necessary to assure.the greatest re turns There is work for a wide-awake comm^ce body here, and local peo ple are lit god to participate in its j organization and cooperate i? its program of activities. Red Cross Roll Call Is A Marked Sueeess Y AMPLE SUPPLY Shirting the topic of conver sation from cold cash, .Martin farmers declare there is an am pie supply of meat in the coun ty this year. While the supply Is hardly as large as it was last year, there will he enough meat killed in the county this winter to over-run the smokehouse and leave some for the hungrv tow n population. Farmer t'ratt, out in Bear Grass, officially opened the parking season a few days ago, hut the number of hog killings! as a general rule, will he limit ed until around the Christmas season and early in January. Re ports state that there is an ahun dance of feed and that rarmrrs are in no big hurry to kill their hogs. Vlrs. Jesse E. Price Pies At.Her Home From Heart Attack ?*?

An attack against the HMO tobacco program was rumored today as the committees neared the end of their first week of head scratching arid puzzle solvirig so earnestly done trying to effect an equal and fair distribution of the 1940 acreage al lotments. County committeemen and employees in the county agricultur al office withheld any comment, but individual members of the commun ity committees maintained that the allotments were being determined is fairly and as equally as possible, that many of the complaints were unfounded and could not be support ed by actual facts. There was no great dissatisfaction expressed, as far as it could be learned, but one or two adjustments effected by the lo cal committee was a "hot" topic of conversation in one township. It was unofficially learned that the ad justment was upward and that only one-tenth of one acre was involved. The committee, virtually complet ing the preliminary work in that township, listened to the complaint and again reviewed the contracts in a number of cases, but it could not be learned today what action, if any, had been taken. As far as it could be learned this afternoon, no allotment has been re duced more than 20 per cent, and that the local committees are doing all they can to lower the percentage of decrease in the individual allot-1 ments. " 1 That many farmers will be dissat isfied with their allotments is al most certain, as reports from the farms, indicate that quite a few growers hold the opinion that the reductions will he limited to about twenty per cent on their 1939 plant ings The reduction for 1940 wilH'be based on the 1939 allotments and not on the actual plantings Preliminary work on the acreage distribution has been virtually com pleted in Bear Grass, Cross Roads, Goose Nest and Hamilton Townships and the committees for Jamesville, Griffins and Robersbnville are now reviewing the contracts for 1940. Work on the contracts for farmers in the three remaining townships, Williams, Poplar Point and William-1 ston, will be started shortly Colored Teachers Day Observed Here Sunday l>v Croup Stronger (iooperulioii H r lueen Church anil School \h SlreHM'il lly (i T. IIII.I. The Teachers' Day, which was cel ebrated at Mt Shilo Baptist church last Sunday, was quite a success Teachers of Martin and adjoining counties were invited to be present as guests at a public worship ser vice and sit in a body. Feeling the very close unity which exists between church and school, those responsible for this'service un dertook to show the great amount of good each could accomplish if they (church and school) would co operate for one common aim? the betterment of all the people. , The church has not only thrown out a challenge but is pleading for ! cooperation.

It was an un usual departure from the old custom, old-time observers de claring it was the first time in their memory that smoking was openly allowed in the courtroom. No spectators and few members of the bar dared violate the old custom. ' Judge I.uther Hamilton moved out of the seat of dignity, seated himself in the witness chair and fired up a cigarette during a lull in the proceedings, others among the bar membership firing up in fairly rapid order. The jury was out, to be sure, but spectators were puxiled when they were advised the session was in pro gress and that it was perm is Jury Unable To Reach Decision $10,000 Suit Resume Argument At 2:.'iO Following Recess For Dinner (lour! SpemU l)ii> ami a llalf On Trial of Mitchell Hall Damage Suit i The $10,000 damage suit brought i by Jimmy Mitchell by his next | friend. Joe Mitchell, against tl. P. Hall, local fire chief, continued to hold the attention of the Martin County Superior court tins after noon after the jury failed to reach a decision in the case during an ar gument lasting nearly three hours jury returned to its room at 2 30 o'clock and indications arc that verdict will not be rendered until late afternoon with the possibility that a "hung" jury will result in mistrial. The case, growing out of an auto- I mobile accident on the main street here last March, was called yester- I day. All evidence was offered and the counsel for the litigants complet- i ed its argument to the jury late yes- j terday afternoon Judge Huther Hamilton, presiding over the spec ial two weeks term of the court, re cessed the tribunal until this morn ing when he delivered his charge and the jury took the case at 10:45 About eight witnesses were called by each side in the case, the plain tiffs fixing the speed at between 35 and 55 miles an hour when the young boy was knocked from his bicycle by the fire chief's car and critical ly injured. Some of the witnesses apparently drew on their reserve imagination as A K. lleteyh, Tar fjoro man who was a witness to the accident, stated that he saw the fin chief turn his car around, place the bov i'li the ear and i-arrv him to a doctor's office. The ease was virtuously fought by both the plaintiff and defense coun sel, and mi far during the term it has been tile feature in the proceed ings. Next week attention of the court is hkly to center on the $10, 000 damage suit of Harris against Tayloe. While one jury argued the Mitch ell case, the court started work on the action brought by Iladlcy and others against Steele and others:. The Sammy Ann Close case, set tled by compromise this week, rests under a judgment about as compli cated as the issues were in the com plaints, but it marks the end of a long litigation, and now it is quite apparent that no one will get a great deal, not even the lawyers. In the refolded settlement, attor neys' were identified with the var ious litigants, the case having been delayed some time ago when two at torneys each thought lie was repre senting this group or that group. The judgment continues That a deed- from H A Critcher, commissioner, to 1) (J. Matthews is void, that Matthews is entitled to a lien in the sum of $340 taxes paid by him. That the county of Martin br_ en titled to a tax lien in the sum of That taxes for more recent years are due and unpaid That W.

That lands be sold by commission ers for a division A judgment was granted to the plaintiff in the sum of $71 in the case of Lindsley Ice Company against* A. Corey. In the case of George Hoyt Mizelle against insurance company, a com promise was effected, the defendant waiving the payment of all prem iums and recognizing the insurance policy as being still in force. The only case reaching the jury up until today was that of Fannie Coffield against Paul I). Hoberson, executor of .the Gus Cof field estate. The plaintiff maintained thpt her husband had given her an automo bile for a Christmas present and that it was not a part of his estate. Hie plaintiff was given legal possession of the automobile A compromise settlement was ef fected in the case of P. S. Bellamy against G.

In presenting the problem to the club membership, the librarian re vealed that the children of the com munity have read extensively since the establishment of the library and that the repeated demand for new reading matter cannot he met from the present collection. It was agreed that ; U ps should hi- taken iinmed lately to provide new hooks and a committee was appointed to pro ?mote a Share a Book Plan between I | next Monday and Christmas. The plan will be launched next .Monday with the public display of two thous and new children's buok> which are being sent here for examination by the North Carolina Library Com I mission The Share a Book Plan is design ed to enable a parent or friend to provide a hook for a particular child and at the same time provide a book for hundreds of others at no addi tional cost.

The child in whose name the donation is made will borrow and read the hook first and his name will he written on the hook plate When he has read the book, it will he available through the library for hundreds of other children. It will he remembered that the library has no support other llum th.it which comes from its friends and it is hoped that the people of the community will rally to its support dining the Christmas season.

Apparently aided by unfavorable weather conditions during the past few. days, the peanut market con tinues fairly staple, late-reports from several buyers here late yesterday statins that Rood hunch were selling for three and one-half cents and that jumbos were commanding three and three quarters cents a pound A dull period was reported in the market last week when heavy de liveries caused a glut at the delivery points and factories Rains delayed picking operations and deliveries slackened a bit in momentum, but even during the past few days sev eral thousand bags of the goobers have been handled at this point daily. It was estimated a few days ago that 7f> per rent of the crop had been picked m this county. That activity is at a standstill as a result of un lavorahle weather, but sales have i continued, observers revising their estimate of 50 per cent upward to day. In some sections more than 70 per cent of the crop has been sold, but on an average it is believed that between ,55 and 60 per cent of the crop has moved out of the farmers' hands ?With prices holding fairly firm at three and one-half cents, few deliv eries have been made to the North Carolina Peanut Stabilization Coop erative at this point. However, Messrs Leman Barnhill, I.. If. Gur ganus and J. Edward Corey have received a few peanuts for the gov -rrnlhcnt and are ready for other de liveries in the Farmers Warehouse here at any time.
