Superior Court Trial Calen
dar Delayed by Drawn
Out Damage Suit
Opening the second of lU two
weeks' term yesterday for the trial
of civil cases only, the Martin Coun
ty Superior Court with Judge A. Hall
Johnson on the bench struck a snag
in the damage suit and counter claim
centered in the case of Park"
Harrison. The trial calendar has
been thrown out of schedule, and
just what cases will be called next
could not be learned from coui7t or
bar attorneys. The case ofWilliam.
against Harrell is next on the docket
but just when it will be called is not
known It is poaaible that Ute court
win spend the great part of this af
ternoon finishing the Parker-Harri
son case, and that the calendar will
be in effect from tomorrow morn
ing
In the Williams case against Har
rell, the plaintiff, alleging undue
pressure was brought to have her
to sell certain lands, is asking that
the deed be set aside. It is also al
leged in the complaint that the plain
tiff was assured an old-age pension
if she would transfer title to her
land. It has been pointed out that no
one is eligible for an old-age pension
who has transferred a title to land
within two years from the time ap
plication is made for the pension ^ ^
plaintiff offered Ifat teattogey of
thirteen witnesses, the last of the
evidence having been heard Monday
afternoon at 4 o'clock The defense
took over at that time, and rested
this morning about 10:45.
Th? questioning nomad-warm -at
times, a climax having been reach
ed with defense attorney, R. L- Co

ker, engaged in a little tilt. Judge
Thompson hurriedly put a stop to it
and no damaging revelations result
ed. The plaintiff, advancing his
claim to >5.000 personal andf70?
property damages as a result of

hile near EveretU last June, offeree1
Evidence that he was not under The

Calling nine witnesses, the de
fense offered evidence claiming that
the plaintiff was under the influence
of some drug and that he was oper
ating his car in a reckless manner
between Robersonville and EveretU.
In a counter claim, the defendant
asked damages in the total sum of
$7,275
Defense Attorney Coburn spoke
to the jury for about ? mlnute^nd
Plaintiff's Attorney B A Cntdier,
taking over at 11:30 o'clock, ended
the argument before the jury just
before the court recessed foi lunch
With seven issues to explain. Judge
Johnson is expected to use an hour
or more in his charge to the jury
this afternoon. Just how long the
jury will debate the issues is a mat
ter of guess, but some believe that a
decUion will hardly be reached with
in two hours after the case is receiv
ed by the twelve men.
When he failed to appear as a wit
ness in the case this morning, Dr
V E Brown was fined $20 by the
court The doctor explained that he
was busy at hu hospital, but no ex
cuse was accepted by the court who
advised him to answer when called
into court next time.
Daniel s Station
Rohheri Saturday
I * vf 17tTMlttl ?
Forcing an entrance through a side
window, robbers stole the cash regis
ter from Jack Daniel's filling station
at the Jamesville-Washington Road
intersection here some time during
last Saturday night. There were
only a few dollars in the register at
the time, the station operator stat
ing that he had left a small amount
for change the following morning.
In addition to the five or six dollars
in cash, there were several checks
totaling about $30, but reports stat
ed that they were of questionable
value and Mr. Daniel explains that
his loss is confined to a broken glass
window, $5 or $6 in cash and a $175
cash register. No goods, not even a
pack of cigarettes, were missed from
the stock, indicating that the rob
bers had their attention centered on
the cash register.
Police have been unable to estab
lish a single clue that would warrant
an arrest in the case.

Election Officials To Hold
School Here For Registrars
Determined to effect a new regis
tration of Martin voters in strict ac
cordance with the law, the county
board of elections will hold a school
for the thirteen precinct registrars
either in the courthouse or agricul
tural building here Thursday morn
ing.
Sylvester Peel, chairman of the
Martin County Board of Elections,
will play the role of the school mas
ter. He will be assisted by Messrs. J
R. Winslow, secretary of the board,
and Wade Vick, Republican mem
ber
There is no alternative' when it
comes to enforcing the election laws
Under the plan adopted. When the
board called for a new registration, it
automatically wiped every name
from the registration books and for
any citizen to participate in future
elections he must register again.
Those old citizens who once regis
tered under the ' grandfather clause"
may got by at election time and vote
even though their names are not on
the new registration books. For all
others who are 21 years or older, can
read and write and can swear, the
law says they must register between
April 27 and May 11, inclusive. Sat
urday. May 18. is challenge day and
the election fotlows on Saturday.
May 25. If one's name is not on the
books, he cannot vote.
It is understood that there are
quite a few names on the books of
persons who can neither read nor
write. With a strict interpretation of
the law in effect this year, the names
of those persons will hardly find
their way back on the books. Quite a
few names that have been held off
the books by an indirect force are
likely to be listed this year, legally
of course.
Instructions for handling the prob
lems that are certain to present them
selves during the registration period
and on election days will be offered
by the officials at the school Thurs
day, and registrars are being directed
to be present.

Claim Germans Are
Moving Men Nearer
Swedish Territory
Attacks Go Forward in Air
And On Land in
Norway
Increased danger for neutral little
Sweden today as unofficial reports
claimed Germany was moving sol
diers in considerable numbers clos
er to Swedish territory. Fairly heavy
troop movements by England and
Germany were also reported in the
North Sea, their apparent destina
tion being the seaport towns of Nor
way. Apparently angered by a hos
tile press, the Nazis sent a sharp
warning to Sweden this morning, ad
vising a supression of free and open
opinions as they relate to the inva
sion of Denmark and Norway.
Savage attocks are being reported
as British and German forces con
tinue their warfare in air and on
land in Norway The outcome of the
battles is not yet known. German re
ports claim that the Nazis still hold
the city of Narvik, and that rail
roads have been bombed cutting off
the British forces from the sea. Ger
many also claimed that another Brit
ish destroyer and three other ships
had been sunk in the last few hours,
that other ships had been damaged
by Nazi bombs
Another sea battle was predicted
today as Germany sent four troop
transports accompanied by two de
stroyers into the North Sea with
ports along the Norwegian coast as
their destination. British ships were
said to be converging on the convoy.
In parliament today, arrangements
were being advanced to float a ten
and three-quarter billion dollar war
budget, an amount greater than the
total spent in the last war. It is es
timated that Graat Britain is now
spending at the rate of $15,000 a min
ute in the prosecution of the war.
On this side of the Atlantic, Mc
Kenzie King, of Canada, and Presi

Ange Withdraws His
Candidacy For Post
On Education Board
Teniler* Kciifpialion Follow.
iiifi l-ong and Able Service
Ah Hoard Member
?
Recognizing the possibility of
conflict with his duties as Jamcsville
postmaster should he actively par
ticipate in the current political cam
paign, Mr. E. H. Ange today an
nounced that he was withdrawing,
from the race for member of the
Martin County Board of Education.
Accompanying his statement an
nouncing his withdrawal from the
contest, Mr Ange said he had also
tendered his resignation as a mem
bei of the liumd. explaining that?rr
was possible the Hatch bill, recent
ly enacted into law, would make it
illegal for him to participate in a
political -campaign or continue to
hold the office.
Appointed to the office back in
March, 1932, to fill the position made
vacant by the sudden death of Board
Member John Getsinger, Mr Ange
was without opposition in the pri
maries that followed up until this
year. Since the office is really an ap
pointive one, and since the aspirants
enter the primary as a mere formal
ity to give the board make-up a dem
ocratic color, Mr. Ange was granted
speciaJ permission to serve as Jaines
ville postmaster. Following the pas
sage of the Hatch Clean Politics Bill,
the board member asked for another
ruling to determine his status or
right to hold the job of postmaster
and continue as a member of the
county board of education. No rul
ing has been rendered in the case, but
Mr. Ange points ? out that there is
some doubt as to whether it would
be legal for him to continue in the
two positions and he has chosen to
wthdraw from the primary contest
Hig resign a t ipn .M A m em ber of the
board of education removes all doubt
as to his right to continue in the
employ of the postoffice department
Keenly interested in the advance
ment of education, not by districts
but over the county and state gener
ally, Mr. Ange expressed (Ht! hupu
that he could continue as a member
of the board. "I havp tried in sen
without favor to any one particular
district, and I have considered the
needs of other sections of the county
with as much interest and thought as

meetings and take a definite statu!
In taking this stand, however, they |
are not voicing opposition to M7~

scheduled for May 4. will be held at
the voting places, with few excep

charge of the drive against rabies
immediately started prrpanng a list
for prosecution in the courts. In some
instances the owners were warned
in person, but a check up Saturday
evening revealed that their dogs had
not been immunized against hydro
phobia. It is unlawful to bring
charges within ninety days against
the owners for not having their dogs
vaccinated, but the warrants will be
