Swedes after losing the first in a
three-game exhibition in this sec
tion this week The Martins lost the
opener here Monday night, being
edged out by a score of 36 to 39 How
ever in Edenton Tuesday evening
Willianriston gained revenge and
evened the situation by soundly
trouncing the all-star Swedes. The
final game of the series at Washing
ton Wednesday night was also
awarded the locals after a tough bat
tle. 34-33
In the starring role for the Mar
tins was Don Brock, who although
a good deal shorter than his oppo
nent, Campbell, scored thirty points
during the three games The Swedes
offered great praise to Brock and
all said that they tried to win every
game, but found a much stronger
team here than they anticipated. Fol
lowing Brock in scoring were Jeff
Grant and Fenner Wallace, who
hit the basket for 22 points during
the exhibition.
Olson's Terrible Swedes were led
by White, a forward, who made 31
points for the three tills and a large
number of these points were made
from difficult angle shots. But the
real star for the Swede's was Jump
aided as the man to watch. Satovich
displayed his technique In a manner
which labels turn the best passing
and trick artist ever seen on the bas
ketball court in this section. Jump
mg Joe especially noted the close
guarding of Bosko Anderson, who
put a cramp in his antics
The entire personnel bf the Ter
rible Swedes was very compliment -
' cals and enjoyed their stay here very
much.

To the more than 150 who witness

Martins Win Handily
Williamston took the second game
in Ed en ton Tuesday by a one-sided
score of 33-15, which was played to
a small number. The Swedes had
evidently lost the basket and were
unable to come through with their
usual scoring punch
Once again White led the Terri
bles ones in point-making with four
field goals and D free shot. For the
Martins. Fenner Wallace and Don
Brock, each having 10 points, were
the leaders.

Business leaped ahead of the past

than last, the Christmas Cheer spon
sors stepping into the*picture to
round out a fairly bright picture in
more than 100 unfortunate homes.
Local police had very few calls
and referred to the holiday as one
of the quietest they had witnessed
in a number of years. Three robber
ies were reported early in the week,
but none came to the attention of
local police at Christmas. Over
Robersonville", two plate glass win
dows were sfnashed and small quan
tities of goods were stolen. Pranks
ters shot out several street lights and
caused a damage there of about $125.

than in years past in this county

other positions we need to fill." Par
Just now the club officials are
looking for an able first baseman

Hopeful more lenient rules can be

for players, but he hopes it will be
possible to retain most of the otd

The league directors are planning to

Attack Victim Leaves
Long Trail Of Blood
Returning to his home on Elm
Street about 4:30 o'clock Tuesday
morning apparently to attack his
wife a second time, John Wilder,
colored, met with flatiron opposition
as he tore through the back lluur.
Using a flat iron, his wife directed
a heavy blow on his head and cau
ed the blood to flow freely.
Arriving on the scene about that
tune, officers saw Wilder flee from
the home. They gave up the chase
after trailing him a distance by his
own blood
Wilder was said to have attacked
his wife about one o'clock that
morning and took her pocketbook
and money. She is now seeking sep
aration papers, the police stating
that she is not very interested in
prosecuting a criminal action against
him.
the two teams met in Washington
Wednesday night in a battle that
proved to be the most thrilling of
the series The score at the first
period was tied at 6-all, at the half,
Williamston led by a margin of 10
to 14, and at the third period the
Martins were ahead 23 to 22. The fi
nal score was 34 to 33.

the more exciting. Olson and Camp

points each, while Don Brock hit
his stride to mark up 12 points for
the Martins. Tenner Wallace follow
ed with eight.
And thus ends the series between
the first real basketball team of na
tional reputation to be brought to
this section and the Williamston Mar
tina, with the locals coming out on
the big end. Next of the big-time
calibre to play here will be the House

better than the Swedes. And we say,

he rounded out his business knowl
edge and in 1916 he returned to Wil
hams ton and forming a partnership
jyith his brother, Mr. G. H Harri
son, founded the Harrison Whole
sale Company. *n*e business enjoy
ed a rapid expansion and the fol
lowing year, the large wholesale
building was constructed on South
Haughton Street.
Two years later the partners en
tered the oil business which has been
developed into one of the largest of
its types in this section of North
Carolina.
While he was recognized
able business man. Mr. Harrison
was better known in his other walks
of life His associations were varied
and touched at the very foundation
of religious, civic and community
organizations, not to mention all
kinds of sports which he so dearly
loved and which no man could en
joy any more than he enjoyed them.
When a young student at Camp
bell College, he joined the Baptist
chu^ph. and during all the years
that followed he maintained an an
xious interest in its growth and its
work. He gave liberally of his time
and his means in its support.
His interest in advancing educa
tion did not stop in the role of the
patron; he capably served the local
schools as a member of the commit
tee for several terms, and no call to
help the schools or any other worthy
institution or cause was left unan
swered bv him.
He was a favorite in the local Ki
wanis club membership. He was
Mason and his enjoyment of life
seemed to be multiplied at the Shrine
meetings. He also was a member of
the Woodmen of the World organi
zation and was a member of the
Modern Woodmen.
On June 17. 1914, he was married
to Miss Lossie Anderson, of Leg
getts- the event marking the begin
nihg or a E*ri6d' ihHrrem^nsrws
crowded with happiness and con
tentment. His home life, marked by
a lasting devotion and companion
ship, approximated the ideal A
thoughtful husband and an under
standing father, he held the admira
tion and undivided love of his fam
ily. ife jovial character radiated
happiness to others, and he made
friendships that could not be brok
en. His softness of manner, his
friendly voice and his willingness to
abide by the rules of the game earn
ed him a place' in the hearts of ev
eryone.
In 1930 Mr. Harrison entered poli
tics for the first time. Winning a
spintud L'unU'sl in the primary that
year, he entered upon the duties of
treasurer of Martin County the fol
lowing December. In the four suc
ceeding elections he was returned
to office without opposition. Undc^
his office, Martin County finances
have been held at a high level, and
his ability has received favorable
comment from high financiers. He
was a director in the Branch Bank
ing and Trust Company and was ac
tive in the work tif the Martin Coun
ty Building and Loan Association
for nearly fifteen years as its popu
lar and capable president. There
were few things rated as worthwhile
and uplifting that did not receive
an able and ever willing support of
Mr Harrison.
He enjoyed life and he enjoyed
seeing others enjoy life.
Besides his wife he leaves three
daughters, Miss Rebecca Harrison,
a member of the High Point school
faculty; Mrs. Claude Baxter Clark,
Jr., of_Williamston, and Miss Blanche
Harrison, ?a student at Converse
College, Spartanburg. He also leaves
one sister, Mrs. Delia Green, of Wil
liamston, and four brothers, Messrs.
J. E. Harrison and G. H. Harrison,
of Williamston; D. B. Harrison, of
Palmyra, and R. G. Harrison, of Hen
derson.
Funeral services are being con
ducted at his late home on Academy
Street this afternoon at 3 o'clock by
his pastor, Rev. James H. Smith, as-"
sisted by Rev. W. R. Burrell, of
Asheville, a former pastor.

"It was a great period and a great

tatives said in pointing out how
grateful the needy were. "Bowed
of deep gratitude were written on
nearly every face. Especially mark
ed were the exprssions of gratitude
as they beamed from the wrinkled
faces of thirty-three aged persons.
Possibly most of those old people
will not be with us another Christ

knowing that someone helped make
this Christmas a happy one for
them," a representative of the spon
sors explained, adding that the peo
ple of Williamston showed more
real interest in the undertaking than
in any of the other four years when
a helping hand was extended to the
needy of this community.
"Just tell the contributors and
others who assisted in any way in
making the movement a success,
that the money could not have been
spent for a greater cause," the
spokesman for the sponsors conclud-1
ed.
