While their candidacies are subject
to a county-wide vote, the commis
sioners will b^>nommated for?the
respective districts. For instance if
two men in a single district poll a
greater number of votes than is poll
ed in other districts one of them will
be the loser, the law applying specifi
cally to this county providing for the
nomination and election of a commis
sioner from each of the five districts.
The primary this year will be the
first time that the 1937 law will have
been placed into effect. In 1936. the
last time there was a contest for the
office of county commissioner, the
vote was limited to the individual
districts. Prior to that time, the
commissioners were nominated and
elected on a, county-wide basis. Un-.
der that system, the commissioners I
were frequently grouped, leaving
some sections of the couuty without
direct representation on the board.
Other candidacies filed but with-'
out opposition are. as follows:
For House of Representatives: J

Evaretta,
April IS, 1M0. alfl-tf
Martin County motorists have
every good reason to boast about
their 1940 record to date as com
pared with that of the first fif
teen weeks in 1939. It is true that
the number of accidents, the
number injured and the amount
of damage are greater this year
than last. But at the end of the
first fifteen weeks last year three
lives had been snuffed out on
the highways and streets in this
county. On April 14, a year ago,
little John Cherry was killed as
he played with a lew newly
bought marbles in an Everetts
Street. It shonld be worth some
thing to the Martin County mo
torist to look at the' record and
see no death blood on the record
sheet this year.
Think when you drive.
The following tabulations of
fer a comparison of the accident
trend: first, by corresponding
weeks in this year and last and
for each year to the present time.

small credit.
The case of John Coltrain against
W. B. Harrington was cleared from
the docket following,;! settlement by
agreement two or three weeks ago.
The defendant agreed to pay $25 to
the plaintiff to clear up a claim to
six-tenths of an acre of land.
The religious issue centering
around the Church of God in Christ,
colored, was settled by agreement;
temporarily at least when Judge
Johnson ruled that the defendants
should have undisputed right to the
first and third Friday nights. The
plaintiffs are to have access and use
of the church property at all other
times, and each group is not to be
molested by the others The defend
ants in the case, centering around the
Robersonville colored holiness
church, withdrew their membership
but still maintained their propor
tional rights to the church property,
according to the complaint filed just
a few days ago. The plaintiffs had
asked that the defendants be re
strained from entering the grounds.
