Plan United Front
In Tobacco Crisis
Meeting in Tarboro last Friday
night, farmers and business men
from nearly everyone of the eastern
North Carolina counties united H"
strong front to tackle the problem
facing the tobacco and peanut far
mers. Called together by state f arm
Bureau officials, the group pledged
a strong cooperation in the move
ment calling for an advantageous
handling of the agricultural prob
lem.
Unofficial reports state that the
group unanimously endorsed a five
year program for tobacco production
control, and considered plans for
advancing the long-term schedule.
Especial interest was centered
around a movement to have Con
gress reconsider its stand on parity
payments. Since the meeting the
Congress has taken steps to elimi
nate $200,000,000 from the agricul
tural fund, but it will be asked to re
consider its action.

Funeral services were conducted on
Saturday afternoon in the Biggs
Funeral Home and interment was in

rites.
He is survived by one son, J. Abron
Davenport, and a small daughter,
Elizabeth Davenport, both of this

Thought to have been a native of
Alabama. Mr. Davenport came to
this county when a small boy. The
family located in Poplar Point where
he was said to have been plowing
when the Yankee gunboats went over
the river to Hamilton and caused his
mule to run away. He was about 84
years old.
He first married Miss Alice Wil

ago. He later married Miss Maggie
Barber.
A rugged individual who never
enjoyed any advantages, he spent his
life farming and logging, spending
much of his later life hunting. In
1934, during a fit of anger, he shot
and killed his wife at their home in
the Islands section of Williams
Township. He was sentenced to pris

C.itiwn-J urist
Written in the annals of State and
National legislation and in the con
stitutional frame work of North
Carolina, the record of the late Judge
Asa Biggs was formally recognized
by the N C. Historical Commission
when a marker was recently ordered
placed here on the corner of Main
and Smithwick Streets briefly out
lining the brilliant career of the
lawyer-jurist and legislator While
Martin County has produced a num
ber of leading figures, possibly Judge
Asa Biggs' fame climaxed that of
all others by reason of the indelliblc
print mode in the records of several
of the highest political offices in his
number the historical commission
plans to place in this county to com
memorate impoi'tunt peisuiiagis and
events of a century or more ago.
Asa Biggs, son of the Rev. Joseph
Biggs and wife. Chloe Daniels, of
Smithwick Creek, was born on Wil
[liamston's East Main Street, near the
brink of the river hill, on February
4, 1811. His father, a prominent
.Primitive Baptist minister in the
early period of that denomination in
this section, moved his family to
Williamston in 1810 from the old
Biggs home located on the large farm
now owned und operated by J. G.
Staton, on the Washington Road,
near Williamston
The young boy who was later to
advance to high public positions in
State and Nation attended the old
Williamston Academy which was
founded by his father. Largely
through the efforts of stern but yet
thoughtful parents, Asa Biggs re
ceived a liberal education without
attendance upon any foreign school
or university. At the age of 20 years,
he was admitted to the Martin Coun
ty bar .the event marking the be
ginning of a colorful career in the
courthouses over a wide territory as
a lawyer and later as a Federal jur
ist and still later as a Confederate
judge
His first public serviic was ren
dered the State in 1835 as a member
of the N C Constitutional Conven
tion. Mr. Biggs, then just a young
man, was associated with Jesse
Cooper, of Hamilton, in the conven
tion. H" Inl"'- HT"?ri I I
of the State Constitutional conven
tion in 1885. L>. W. Bagley, of Wil
liamston was alsp fl member of that
convention. In 1840, Mr. Biggs was
elected to the North Carolina House
of Representatives from this county
and succeeded himself in that posi
tion two years later. In 1844 he was
a member of the State Senate.
His rise in public life was rapid
during that period, and in 1845 he
was elected to the United States
I House of Representatives. Five years
later his legal ability was recogniz
ed when Governor Reed appointed
him along with Romulus M. Saun
ders and B. F. Moore to revise the
North Carolina Statutes. He return
ed to the State Senate In 1854 and a
year later he resigned to accept the
office of United States Senator from
North Carolina. He served in that
position three years or until he was
appointed Federal Judge of the
North Carolina district by President
James Buchanan.
At the outbreak of_the War Be
tween the States, he resigned his
judgeship-in April, 1861. Hardly had
hr p""-""4?riui his commission tn
President Abraham Lincoln than he
was appointed Confederate judge by
Jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederate States of America. He
served the entire state in that ca
pacity until the overthrow of the
Confederacy.
Called to apologize by State au
thorities who were adverse to the
will of the humbled people. Judge
Biggs refused to recognize the sum
mons and surrendered his right to
practice law in this State. He went to
Norfolk and formed a partnership

the market here stating that hardly
more than half of the crop will be
accepted. While the quality is de
cidedly inferior, purchasers aud
brokers are demanding a strict grad
ing system for the crop, and sales
are ranging far below the expected
figure. A few crops have graded as
high as 85 per cent of production, but
on an average hardly fifty per cent
of the offerings will meet the strict
grading requirements.
Only moderate sales have been re
ported at this point during the past
few days. The cooperative withdrew
from the market during the bitter
cold weather, and independent deal
ers have handled less than five car
loads during the past ten days. .The
price continues to hold firm at 85
cents a bushel, but there is still some
talk of an expected rise within the
next few weeks.
Direct sales to independent truck

have been reported with prices rang- j

Floating Theatre
Is Icebound Here
Adverse luck continues to hound
the Original Floating Theatre on its
trips up the Roanoke. In 1938. the
show boat struck a log in the river
below Jamesville and went to the1
bottom. Undergoing repairs in an
Elizabeth City drydock, the boat re
turned to the Roanoke and made its |
way to the local dock. But unfavor
able weather interrupted the en
gagement and the company lost
nlbney. A cold wave greeted the boat
and its cast upon their arrival here
more than a week ago. And now the
boat is icebound, reports stating that
the owners do not know when they
will be able to move it.
Making the best of the situation,
the cast is staging a show each night
on an impromptu schedule.
While no one has dared walk on
the ice, the river is frozen over from
a point about one-half mile below the
bridge here to the highway Bridge
across the Albemarle Sound. One of
the North, Baltimore and Carolina
Line boats navigated the stream on
Sunday, but its steel hull did not
open the channel large enough for
the show boat.
The show boat was scheduled to
dock in Plymouth this week and con
tinue a trip to points further south.
Six Candidates for Governor;
State Agencies Lining Up
Employees for Hot Contest
InterosfTn the forthcoming guBci
natorial primary was increased lust
week-end when Tom Cooper, the
fiery politician of Wilmington,
chunked his hat into the ring that is
already admittedly crowded Baaed
on an impromptu platform, the an
nouncement hardly caused a big rip
ple on the staid political sea in this
State, but Cooper has some friends
and he will poll quite a few votes,
no doubt. The gubernatorial plot was
again thickened when Paul D. Gra
dy. well known State citizen, of
Kenly, announced his candidacy for
the office yesterday.
Just now interest in the political
realm is centering around the num
ber of candidates and possible can
didates. The last two announcements
increases the number in the field to
six, and there is at least one more.
Willis Smith, of Raleigh, who plans
to crowd into the ring. The line-up
to date includes, A. J Maxwell and '
.1 M B rough ton. both of KaltMgh;
W P. Horton. of Pittsboro; Lee
Gravely, of Rocky Mount, and Coop
er and Grady.
As the gubernatorial plot thickens.
Stale agencies are said to be lining
up their employees in anticipation
of a hot contest during the spring.
Reliable reports declare that one
agency has already informed its em
ploy ees over the State that a certain
amount will be deducted from their
pay envelopes each month for use in
advancing a certain candidate's cam
paign "They can take my money,
but they can't get my vote." one of
the agency's victims was quoted as
saying..
So far .the general public in this
section has had very little to say
about politics, local, state or nation
al. Announcements are expected ov
er a w ide front shortly, however, and
an interesting political season is pre
dicted in all quarters.
Firemen Battle Worst
Fire Here in 4 Years
Old Anderson Home
On Haughton Street
Destroyed Saturday
S?'v?-ral llurl Fif(litiii0c Itla/.c
For Srvpn Hourtt in
Freezing Weallier
Williamston had its worst fire in
four years last Saturday night when
the large Anderson home was com
pletely wrecked on Haughton Street
and Simmons Avenue. Gaining con
covered, the fire proved to be the
toughest assignment local volunteer
firemen have yet attempted to han
dle.
Starting from an over-heated flue
between the dining room and a liv
ing room, the fire gained a foothold
.and soon spread rapidly between the
walls to the upper story and to the
attic. Eating its way rapidly into
the heart pine and lightwood tim
bers, the fire sent volumes of smoke
from the eves of the house, and \tohen |
firemen answered the call they could
not determine at first which house
was burning because of dense smoke
in the neighborhood.
?Mi. 3. H. Grimes, owner or?me
home, was in another room with
members of the household and visi
tors. Apparently after the fire start
<'d. Mrs. Mae Stewart, a member of
the household, went to the bedroom
to see if a file in the stove was all
right. She did not detect the fire at
the time, but a few minutes later
she smelled smoke, one report stat
ing that sizable places had already
burned in the wall and ceiling of the
dining room when the fire was dis
covered
Firemen, working in freezing wea
ther, were handicapped when the
first small hose line they laid froze.
A main line of hose was then laid
from a hydrant at the corner of
Haughton and Grace Streets, and
after carrying the water into the
house it wan thought the- fire-eoukl
be brought under control. But the
fiie had alieady eaten its way to
the second story, and firemen car
ried the hose to the top floor. Fore
ed back by stiffling smoke, the fire
men took a stand on the outside. A
second hose line was laid and dur
ing the greater part of seven hours
the fire-fighters washed the slate
roof and weather boarding as the
fire wrecked the interior of the
home in its entirety.
Water from the large hose froze
before it hit the ground and ice
formed quickly under the feet of
the firemen to aggravate the tough
job. Icicles formed in the firemen's
hair, cotton gloves froze on their
hands, and ice formed in their shoes
Fire Chief G. P. HaU badly bruised
his hand. Fireman Ira Harrison suf
fered a painful wrist injury and
Fireman A. J. Manning suffered a
half-inch deep cut on his hand.
Their hands numbed by the severe
cold, neither of the men discovered
his injury immediately. Firemen,
handling the partially frozen hode
lines, skidded and fell on ice-cover
ed steps and wallowed with the high
powered nozzles on the frozen
i ground. Several of the firemen were
[bruised in repeahd rails bfi TfYCTPPT
but they held to their posts until
about 5 o'clock Sunday morning.
While the Grimes house was
wrecked, the home of Mr. and Mrs
V. J. Spivey, a few feet away, and
other near-by buildings were not
damaged at all.
Valued at $8,500, the home and
contents were insured for $5,000
Most of the contents in one or two

but all the furniture and clothing in
