and found time to be a helpful neigh
bor She was thoughtful of others
and always considered her own wel
fare last. She was one of those good
souls who apparently found happi
ness and contentment in doing for
her children and in helping others,
her kind and sympathetic under
experiencing hardships or sorrows
regardless of the station they held in
life.
A few years ago she joined the
Baptist church at Piney Grove, but
her humble walk all through life in
cluded her in the list of Christian
women long before that time. In the

THE RECORD
SPEAKS
For the first time this year.
Martin County motorists went
through an entire week without
a highway accident. Patrolman
Whit Saunders explaining that
it was apparent that Martin
County motorists could drive
carefully, and that it is possible
to prevent accidents But Martin
motorists will have to maintain
the record of last week if they
will make a favorable showing
against the record for 1939 up to
the corresponding date. There
have been more than twice as
_ many accidents so far this year
as last and twice as many people
hfcve been injured. The property
loss is greater this year, but in
the grim death column, the 1940
record is so much better than
that for 1939
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.

A review of the new books shows a
marked increase in the number of
colored registrations and a decided
swing from the Republican party to
the Democratic ranks. The white Re
publican registration is believed to
have reached a new record low with
only 84 registered. A fairly heavy
registration, considering everything,
was reported amUHg the independent
class, Wilhamston leading the field
with 10 such registrations.
Heavy registrations were reported
in nearly all the*preeincts. especially
in Cross Roads

Grass section of this county at 2 p.

contacted a second land force of two

minutes later the wrecking crew re

ahead, turn to the left at next cross
roads, turn right, then left, park ear
and walk 75 yards to the still," the
plane pilot instructed the land forces.
During the meantime, the land force
was in communication with the pilot
and helped direct the search into
ureas under suspicion.
The enforcement officers, led by
A B C. Officer J II Roebuck on the
ground, had their day all right, and
it was really a bad attack for the
manufacturers. At one plant, the op
erators heard the plane and started
dismantling the equipment. The
plane pilot saw and noted the hiding
