VOLUME XL1II?NUMBER 13 fUlliamton, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuetiiar, February 13, If 14). ESTABLISHED 1899 Martin Voters Are Little Interested In State Politics Preliminary Survey Indicates Broughton Holds Margin al Lead In County With little activity on the home front, Martin County voters are man ifesting little interest in politics these days. Indifference is noticed along the political front, reports stat ing that the old-time political lead ers are talking little and doing less in the interest of the candidates than at any time in recent years. While there'll be a general distri bution of the votes among the six candidates, early reports indicate that J. M. Broughton, Raleigh at torney, is holding an advantage at the present time. Paul Grady, of Kenly, will make a fair showing in some sections of the county, and Lee Gravely will, in all probability, share a fair portion of the vute The other three candidates, A. J. Maxwell, head of the State Department of Revenue; Tom Cooper, of Wilming ton, and W. P. Horton, of Pittsboro, will get a scattering vote according to the present outlook. But Martin County folks are slow to commit themselves. They are open to more facts, and the strength the candidates poll in the various pre cincts depends upon a turn of events from now until the primary on May 25. Cooper's candidacy is not taken very seriously by eighteen men ques timinU- Turn- itnrtng tha past tew" days. Maxwell's announced platform to improve the present highway sys tem by the expenditure of fifty mil lion dollars without increasing taxes or floating more bonds is a bit puz zling to some. While none of the group questioned about their politi cal views voiced a strict opposition to Maxwell's candidacy, they did say that it was a bit unfortunate for the head of the state taxing system to go before the people. Horton has no political enemies, but at the same time he has no strong friends in this county to actively support his can didacy. ?Broughton made a rathei stiung impression upon, the minds of a large number of voters in this county last spring when he addressed the grad date? of the Farm Life and'Bear Grass high schools. It was admitted at that time and even before he for mally announced his candidacy that he gained a number of votes. Wheth er he can hold those votes under the cross fire of the campaign remains to be seen. Even though Willis Smith, Ral eigh attorney, definitely decided not to enter the race, the large number of candidates already in the field has s'de-tracked attention from the cont.-?i for lieutenant-governor, and the names of Ihe several candidates for the secondary office have almost been forgotten. Locally, the political field con tinues qUM for the most part, but reports indicate there is something brewing. Limited to a big scrap within the Democratic family in past years, the primary this year will be shared with the Republicans. So far only one candidate, Dr. Forest Witten, of Salisbury, has dared enter the race. The Salisbury man announced his candidacy for governor on the Re publican ticket. Dr. Witten seeks the G. O. P. nom ination on a platform which asks elimination of the State sales tax, lower taxes on automobiles and their operation, revision of election laws, a State referendum on liquor stores, and a civil service law for State em ployees. Tax Collections Soar In January Tax monies flowed into the county treasury in a near-record fashion last month, the collector, Charles B Roebuck, reported receipts in the amount of $42,123.07 for the period. The unusually large collections for the month placed the collector near er his goal this year than he was at the same time in 1939 The Atlantic tributed a sizable portion of the amount, but there were quite a few other property owners who squared off their tax accounts to escape the one per cent penalty that went into effect on February 2. A busy month for the sheriff and his office is reflected in the monthly report submitted by the high officer for last month to commissioners in their regular February meeting last Monday. The report follows: Taxes collected, $42,123.07; . Warrants served, 3; Capias served, 2; Subpoenas summoned, 33; Civil papers served, 23-118 copies; Claim and delivery papers served, 2-8 copies; Executions served, 6; Ejectment proceedings, 12; Invwtiflationg, -40; 1 Miles traveled. 3 cars, 3,794; Beer destroyed, 3230 gallons; Stills destroyed (complete) 9; Stills destroyed (partial) 4; Number of arrests by enforcement offioer, 2; Number of convictions by enforce ment officer, 4; Number of arrests on county Jail Schools; Closed For Several Days, A re Reopened in County j Closed on account tif the bad road conditions, several of the ten coun ty while schools are reopening to morrow following a seven-day holi day. One of the schools. Bear Grass, closed since last Wednesday reopen ed today, reports reaching here stat ing that attendance figures were nearly up to normal and that the bus schedules were maintained with one or two exceptions. One bus in 'the Bear Grass district was forced to run around several places in the road that were impassable, but with favorable weather during the next day or two a normal operating sched ule "can be maintained there. The Farm Life. Oak City. Hassell and Jamesville schools will reopen tomorrow. However, normal operat ing schedules throughout these dis tricts will hahdiy be possible during the next several days. In the five white schools, William ston Kveretts Robersonvitle tlotd Point and Hamilton, where schedules were maintained despite the bad corv dition of the roads, attendance fig ures have been near normal. Bus schedules have been maintained in the districts with difficulty, how ever. t Commenting on the road condi tions. school authorities stated that the highway forces have cooperated in every way possible to keep the routes open to traffic, that special forces had been assigned to repair places where traffic bogged down. While several schools in the coun ty have lost no more than one day on account of weather and road con ditions, other have been idle for as many as eight days in recent weeks. Sanitation Here Is in Deplorable Condition First Application For Seed and Feed Loans Is Received "The seed-Teed Tout office?Ihe poor farmer's lending agency? opened In (he agricultural build ing last Saturday, \V. 11. Watts, the manager, handling six appli cations the first day. During the next few weeks the offiec will be open each week dav and far mers planning to float loans with the agency are directed to file their applications without delay. Designed mainly to make available credit to those farmers who are unable to get credit rise where, the seed-feed loan agen cy advanced approximately $16, last year. It is possible the num ber of applications will be ip creased this year Offer Suggestiops For the Profitable Growing Of Cotton Martin Farmer** Are Planning To Inereane Acreage Hi it* Year Plaining- considerably t>clow their allotment during the past few years Martin farmers are planning to ad vance their cotton acreage up to a point near the 1940 allotment Cok er's, down in South Carolina, just recently released some valuable sug gestions for growing cotton profit ably under boll weevil conditions. The suggestions and recommen dations follow: 1. Select your most fertile, warm est, and best drained soil that ex perience has shown will grow cot ton off fastest after it comes up. 2. Indications from more than 5, 000 South Carolina Five-Acre Con test records show that the highest yields are made from narrow rows, the width depending upon soil types and varieties. 3 Use liberal amounts of a well balanced fertilizer under cotton and side-drefcs with additional amounts of ammonia and potash. This should be adjusted to suit soil and weather conditions. 4. Follow fertilizer distributor with a small plow to thoroughly mix fer tilizer with soil: 5. Use a variety that fruits early and rapidly and produces a good sta ple. If soil is infested with wilt by all means plant a suitable wilt resis tant variety. 6. Use plenty of seed of known vitality and treat with Ceresan be fore planting. You cannot make a crop unless you get a good stand. Plant as early as conditions and -ej^ perience warrant. 7. Where drop seed planter is used leave 2 to 3 stalks per hill. When drilled, leave an average of 2 stalks (Continued on page six) I FARM FORUM v Attracting increased interest, the weekly farm bureau forums In the county agricultural build ing are now recognised as a per manent feature in an improved farming program for Martin farmers. Despite unfavorable road con ditions, a fair attendance was reported at the meeting last week, and more farmers are ex pected for the session Thurs day evening at 7 M o'clock. Last week the fanners heard an in teresting discussion on several important farm topics, and while no fixed program has been an nounced for the meeting this week It is certain that the farm ers will find the discussions In teresting and valuable. Less Than Half Of Homes Have Water Sewer Connections ComlitionM Will Be IMhhh \l Special Meeting: of ConiiniH*ioiirr* Possible additions to Williamston's badly out*grown water and sewer systems will be considered at a special meeting of the town commis sioners here this evening at 7:30 o'clock. Local and State Board of Health representatives, private and Works Progress Administration en gineers are scheduled to meet with the commissioners for a discussion of the system which, in its final an alysis, is deplorable While the meeting tonieht is ex pected to consider present and fu ture demands of the town's water sewer systems, the health authori ties will offer u ?review ?>f thn town'* sanitation. Exact cost figures for extending the water and sewer lines are not available, but they will be based on a survey made about four years ago. Just what can be done to relieve the existing conditions remain to be seen. For several years town authorities have recognized the need for an add ed water supply, paying no great at tention to the urgent need for an ex panded sewer system. A recent sur vey by the health department pre sents a problem possibly as baffling supply offers. The glaring feature of the health [department survey centers on out* door privies. There are 415 of them | within the incorporated limits of the | town, the report adding that possi-j jbly 300 of the number will pass crude sanitary requirements. The I others range from a boarded box j j without top to a one-sided structure! | in a fence corner. Another glaring feature of the re I port and one that can be recognized as a black mark against the town I | and the health department is the j large number of homes and busi ness houses where water and sewer lines are available and yet no con nections have been made. It is pos sible to add 77 connections without extending either the water or sew er lines, the report points out. According to town records there are now around 530 water and sew er connections in the system, but not all of that number have sewer connections. It is evident from the figures can ied in the report that hardly 50 per cent of the homes and business houses are served by the system. It is estimated that nearly 13,300 feet of sewage disposal lines are nec essary before a 100 per cent effective system can be effected. It is possible that one-half or two-thirds of that footage could be laid in certain sec tions so as to increa.se the facilities to more than 300 potential custom ?Fft> Farm Loan Group to Hold Meeting Here Member* of the Williamston Na tional Farm Loan Asaociation will hold their annual meeting on Thurs day morning, February 15, at ten o'clock in the agricultural building in Williamston, it was announced by Mr. Thomas B. Slade, Jr., president. At this meeting complete and de tailed reporUSif the asscoiation's op erations for the past year will be made by the secretary-treasurer, Mr. W. G. Stancill, and the other officers. The meeting will also provide the members with an opportunity to elect two directors for ttnr ensuing year Presiding at the meeting will be Mr. Slade, who is also a member of the board of directors. Other mem bers of the board are Messrs C. L. Daniels, W. A. Manning, G. W. Tay lor and D. O. Bowen. Mr. Slade said that it was hoped that every member of the association would be present afthe annual meet ing Several Are Hurt In Series Of Auto ^ recks In County (!tiit<l Not Badly Hurl In Fall From FuKt-RuuniiiK Car Sunda\ Several persons were hurt but none seriously in a series df high way accidents reported in this coun ty Sunday evening and night. Two of the accidents were reported this vicinity, one near Dor dens. Two ur three days earlier little John Cur tis Roberson suffered a broken thigh when he darted into the path of a car on Grimes Street in Roborson ville. The child is getting along very well After a fairly long period of little activity. Patrolman Whit Saunders was called to work early last Sunday evening when Aaron Biggs, Hardens colored man, was said to have im bibed too freely of the spirits and toppled out of his buggy on the high way near his home. As far as it could be learned he was not badly hurt. Little Sara Everett, daughter of Mr and Mrs. William Everett, nar rowly escaped with her life when she accidentally opened the car door and fell to the highw ay \whilc the machine was running around 45 nulrs an hour It is thought she held on to the door for a second or two for when Mr. Everett stopped the car she was found lying beside it. About four years old. the little girl was wearing a snow suit and cap. reports stating that they were rip ped to pieces Removed to th" hos pital here, she "was found to have suffered no broken bones but her little body was painfully bruised and badly skinned in a number of places. Late that night the cars of A. Batchelor. local mechanic, and of Nathaniel Boston, colored farmer of Bear Grass, crashed on U. S. High way 17 near the Old Mill Inn. Sev eral were bruised and scratched but none was badly hurt The three months-old daughter of the Bostons was thrown out of the car to the ground about 12 or 15 feet away, but no bones were broken^ The left front wheel on each car was knocked un der the bodies and the left *ddt? nf the Boston car was badly torn. Boston, traveling toward Wash ington with his wife. Geneva, and fnur_ diildreiu slatcri that lie?had" driven partly off the hard surface when the other car plowed into him at a rapid speed. The car, an old mod el Pontiac, driven by Batchelor, swerved after striking the Ford arid turned over two or three times. The Ford was knocked partly around and down a six-foot embankment Both machines were wrecked be yond repair, unofficial estimates placing the damage at $250 foreign tobacco \ Outlook Brighter Reliable report* coming from Washington during the past few days indicate that the foreign out look for Bright Beltiobacco js more encouraging. While* there is no def inite assurance that Great Britain will lift the embargo recently an nounced, reports from the State De partment clearly indicate that "sub stantial progress is being made in the negotiations with Great Britain rel ative to the embargo on tobacco im ports." Secretary Hull today expressed himself as well satisfied with the progress' thus far made in a situa tion that appeared all but hopeless a few days ago. For one thing Great Britain is beginning to feel the loss of import duties, which leads to the hope that the retsrictions will be re moved or greatly modified. Claude T. Hall, Woodsdaie, N. C, chairman of the flue-cured tobacco advisory committee, confered with agriculture department officials, and Representative Cooley,-relative to changes which flue-cured growers hope will be made in the tobacco law, placing production control among other things on a three-year basis. Hall said: "Due to the drastic cutvin tobacco acreage this year (as a result of ov erproduction last year and the recent embargo on tobacco to England) some growers are tempted to lak?*-a Chance on overplanting their allot ted acreage. I am taking this occa sion to warn and advise the growers (for their own good) of three out standing detrimental results of over planting "1. Every acre will be carefully checked for overplanting and if found the grower will pay a 10-cent per pound penalty for the excess. "2. If he overplants he loses his benefit payment. This added to his penalty plus fertilizer and labor will run .his coat beyond the price that is now In prospect for the next crop of tobacco. "3. It will add greatly to the now very great surplus hanging over the market, which in turn will keep our market down and will necessitate downward farther adjustments of acreage and production."
