Peanut Harvesting
Is Moving Forward
Rapidly In County
Deliveries Averaging Well Un
der 2,000 Bags Daily At
This Point
Weighted down by several de
pressing factors, the peanut market
is reporting very little activity on
its front at the present time, one re
port stating that deliveries are well
under 2,000 bags daily. This com
pares with deliveries ranging as
high as 1S.OOO bags daily when the
market activities get fully under
way. Picking is being advanced on
a fairly large scale over the county,
the growers rushing to take advan
tage of the favorable weather.
Prices were quoted today at 3.25
cents a pound downward, and buy
ers are apparently not anxious for
the crop at that price. Purchases are
being made on a market that is be
ing established from day to day,
one report stating that field buyers
operating only after receiving di
rect instructions from the cleaners
hour by hour. A crop, shelling 65
per cent meat and with 20 per cent
large peanuts, is selling for 3.25 to
day. The second price stands at 3.05
No evidence of premiums has been
reported.
While buyers are quite hopeful,
they declare that the market is in a
lull Just now. There has been a slight
delay in establishing government re-,
ceiving stations, but semi-official in- 1
formation received here last yester
day states that the stabilization co
operative will go into action within '
a short time. Possibly some of the
buyers and cleaners arc waiting for
the government to enter the market. :
Other buyers are of the opinion that
the present lull is due to the uncer
tainty of the pending presidential
election. They don't say so in so
many words but they are the strong
hint that the outcome of the vote
can and possibly will effect the pea
nut market.
Fairly accurate reports coming
from over the county point to a |
bumper crop, one observer stating
that the average production will
range around 20 bags per acre. The
quality, as a whole, is not up to ex
pectations. There are some excep
tions, of course, the observers point
ing out that the crop is spotted and
that production will run consider
ably below the 1939 yield in some
districts.
Disciples To Hold
Meeting In Raleigh
The North Carolina Christian Mis
sionary Convention meets in Ral
eigh next week, Nov. 6th to 8th. The
program will begin with the minis
terial session Wednesday at 3 p. m.
Rev. Olin Fox, of Goldsboro, a for
mer pastor at Robersonville, is pres
ident of the ministerial association.
The convention proper will begin
at 7:30 p. m., at which time the pres
ident, Rev. J. M. Perry, will address
the convention, followed by an ad
dress by Rev. Hassell Bowen, of Ken
tucky, a native son of North Caro
Rev. Newton Roberson, host pas
tor at Raleigh, and his people, are
making preparations for one of the
largest conventions the disciples
have had in the more than 90 years
of their convention assemblies in the
State. The 14 Christian churches of
Martin County will be represented,
as Rev. John L. Goff and Jimmie D.
Taylor, of Williamston, are on im
portant committees, and will have
much work to do during the con
vention days.
Local Firm Fills
First Peanut Order
Purchasing the large plant of the
Columbia Peanut Company a short
time ago, the Williamston Peanut
Company yesterday shipped its first
orders, one going to the market in
Chicago and the other to Philadel
phia. Several additional carloads of
fancy shelled peanuts and several
hundred bags of select jumbos are
scheduled to move out of the fac
tory today and tomorrow.
Fairly heavy deliveries are re
ported at the plant, the management
stating that as many as 2,000 bags
were received in a single day this
week, but other buyers on the local
market are not very active just now,
according to reports.
?
Two-In-One Election l?
Scheduled For Tuetday
?
The general election next Tues
day will be a two-in-one affair as
far as the office of First District
Congressman is concerned. The
name of Herbert Bonner will ap
pear twice on the ballots. His name
appears on an official special elec
tion ballot and also on the ballot for
state officers and congressmen.
Briefly stated there is a special elec
tion for the election of Mr. Bonner

say Warren who today enters upon
his new duties of Comptroller Gen
eral, and a regular election for the
election of Mr. Bonner and other
nominees for the regular term.
Democratic Leaders Continue
Appeal For Big Comity Vote
As Republican Party leaders con-1
tinue their venomous assault on a
nation-wide scale against the pres
ent administration in Washington
Martin County Democratic Party,
leaders are continuing their appeal
for a record vote for the entire Dem
ocratic ticket in the thirteen election
precincts. There is no doubt in the
world about how Martin County will
vote, and the object of the party j
leaders is to get out an overwhelm
ing majority
Much interest is being shown in
the campaign by citizens over the |
county where the campaigners have
visited so far. Taking advantage of
a minstrel crowd at Bear Grass last
Tuesday evening, the campaigners
preached off effectively the good old
Democratic doctrines. Bear Grass has
its Republican leanings on a small
scale, of course.
Jamesville reported its largest
political gathering in years Wednes
day evening when more than 100
stalwart Democrats met in the school
building to hear the campaigners and
renew their cooperation to the party
that has during the past seven and
a halt years recognized the people
of all classes and creeds.
Last night the campaigners, made
up of county nominees and party
leaders, were well received by a
representative number in the Oak
City school. Tonight, the canvassers
go to Farm Life. Tomorrow night
they will visit Williams Township,
and bring the campaign to a close
in Everett* Monday night. No out
side speakers, other than Herbert
Bonner, have appeared on the cam
paign schedule in the county, party
leaders pointing out that there was
much work to be done in other sec
tions. that the situation was well in
hand here.
TOWN BOAKI)
Williamston's board of com
missioners will, in all probabil
ity, adopt the 1940-41 budget
following a general discussion
of the tax schedules and other
sources of income and expendi
tures at the regular meeting of
the body next Monday evening.
Mayor John L. Hassell said to
day. The new 1940 tax sched
ule and town operations are be
ing based on a tax rate of $2.00
subject to final action by the
board next Monday.
Very little othrr business is
on the calendar for the meet

Health Department
Head Says Malaria
Control Is Necessary
INihlie Health Faeililieh Arc

Front in County
?. ?
By DR. JOHN W. WILLIAMS
Martin Health Officer
Wherever malaria prevails in al
most direct proportion to its prev
alence, the inhabitants of that com
munity are subnormal mentally,
physically and economically. No
malaria survey has ever been made
of this county but when we see chil
dren on school cots sweating off
chills we know it is in that commun
ity?and something must be done
about it.
There are several ways of fighting
malaria and all must be used. It is a
tedious task but education and per
sistence will do it.
First is to "drain where you can
oil where you must " To drain
swamps and low lands requires mon
ey, legislation and formation of
drainage districts. This takes time,
planning and in our case, malaria
surveys to prove its prevalence be
fore any financial assistance can be
had from government.
Second. Oiling: This is only feas
ible in incorporated towmr that have
control measures such as ordinances
and inspection to carry out.
Third. Serening: This not only
means every opening, including
chimneys with 16 inch mesh wire,
but living behind such protection
during the time the female mosquito
is hunting for blood to make her
eggs hatch which is early dusk and
before daylight. A malaria transmit
ting mosquito never bites in the day
light.

Advisory Group
And Assistants
To Meet Tonight
Members of the Martin Coun
ty Draft Board, advisory com
mittee and assistants will meet
in the county agricultural build
in* here this evening at eight
o'clock for a thorough study of
the questionnaire that will be
placed before the approximate
ly 3.269 registrants in this coun
ty during the course of the next
several weeks. The assistants
have been notified and urged by
the committee chairman, W. H.
Coburn, to be present for the
special school of Instruction.
No definite date for the release
of the questionnaires has been
fixed, Draft Board Chairman R.
H. Goodmon stating this morn
ing that it will be possible next
Thursday or Friday before the
first one is placed in the mails.
The questionnaires will be mail
ed at the rate of fifty each day
in the order af numbers deter
mined by the national lottery in
Washington earlier In the week.
Several hundred of the order
numbers appear in this paper to
day. While they are unofficial
and are subject to slight changes,
registrants can determine by
thsna about when they will re
ceive their questionnaire!.
Predicting Record
Vote in County and
Nation On Tuesday
Registration Figures Jump To
New 11 i<zli Level in Some
Laroliua (anilities
$
Reports coming from various poli
tical centers in county, state and na
tion are pointing to a record vote in
the election next Tuesday. Early es
timates have been upped, and it is
now predicted that more than fifty
three million votes will be cast in
the presidential contest. Registration
figures have reached new high peaks
in the middle West where political
observers are of the opinion the out
come of the election will be largely
decided.
In North Carolina, several coun
ties are reporting substantial gains
in the registration figures over those
recorded for the May 25 primary.
Forsyth recently added 9,588 new
names to us lisi of eligible voters.
The meaning of th*> rogistrn
tion there is not quite clear. It is to
be admitted that Mr. John Hanes is
throwing a strong support to Will
kie and that the Republican forces
are advancing a vigorous campaign
in that area, and it is possible that
the Republican Party is well rep
resented in the recent registration
figures. Numerous other counties in
this State are reporting sizable reg
istration increases, meaning one of
two things, that Willkie will make a
creditable showing or that the elec
tion will be a landslide for Roose
velt. It is indced*certain that North
Carolina will riot go Republican as
it did in 1928
In Martin County the registration
remains virtually unchanged. Wil
liamston reports a gain of 26 elec
tors in its two precincts. Roberson
ville has fifteen new names on its
li.t Griffin* add fed five hew names,
the total for the county falling con
siderably below 100. It is now esti
mated that there are 5,500 eligible
voters in this county. With that reg
istration to draw from, it is believed
that the county will poll a vote rang
ing beween 4,600 and 4,750 Four
yearn ogo "vfttow wore rant?in
the Presidential election in this
county, 4,477 for Roosevelt and 111
for Landon. Last May only 3,354
votes were cast in the Democratic
primary
Martin County people, a bit wor
ried by the attacks made upon Roose
velt, will, it is believed, turn out for
him in numbers greater than ever
before.
Farm Bureau Adds
More New Members
The Martin County Farm Bureau
continues to add to its membership,
the secretary, John I Eagles receiv
ing nineteen additional memberships
from volunteer canvassers during the
past few days. No direct word has
been received from the bureau pres
ident, Mr. Charles L. Daniel, but it
is understood that the membership
campaign is meeting with marked
success over the county, as a whole.
The names of members recently
added to the roll follows:
J. C. Taylor, W. A. Everett, D. R.
Everett, A. L. Oakley, J. R. Roe
buck, Marshal Roberson, Noah Slade,
Z. D. F White, C S. Johnson, of Rnb

completion of the campaign.
Enter/trite Will Pott
Returni Tuettlay Might
Following its usual custom, the
Enterprise will post the election re
turns next Tuesday night. First re
turns from the county should be
available, in part at least, between
7 and 8 o'clock that evening, but it
is quite likely that returns offering
a definite trend for the nation will
not be available until the early hours
of Wednesday morning.

Machinery for calling men into
the military service of their country
us speeding up from day to day. and
it is quite likely that the first con
tingent of 30.000 men will start mov
ing into camps from all over the
country the latter part of this
month No quotas have been assign
ed. and while it is fairly certain that
Martin County will be called upon
for about 160 men. it is believed that
few will be call I'd in the first draft
Possibly the first call will include
six or seven men in this county, but
several young men have already vol
unteered and their voluntary en
trance will automatically delay the
call for those whose order numbers
are first in the list Additional calls
will come in December and succeed
ing months, the number to be grad
ually stepped up until there are
about 160 men in the service from
this county during the first year.
These estimates are based on unof
ficial figures, the draft board chair
man stating definitely today that no
quotas had been assigned the coun
ty and that he could not say wheth
er one man, five men or fifty men
would be called this month or next.
For the present. Martin County
draftees are Seeking their order
numbers which offer them some idea
as to their standing or order in which
they will he called. The registrant
upon learning what his order num
ber is can well forget his serial num
ber. The serial number was created
principally to determined the order
number and it is by the order num
ber that he will answer the call to
service ~~~ ~ ? ~
number "1". he will get the first
: questionnaire. The registrant who
gets order number "2" will receive
the second questionnaire and so on.
If the registrant who gets order
| number "1" has dependents or is
I physically unfit for army service, he
' is placed in a lower classification and
I is not subject to immediate call. If
the number two man is physically
' fit, has no dependents, then he will
I he subjected to the first service call
! and he'll be packing up and leaving
i for camp about the latter part of this
month if there isn't a sufficient num
ber of volunteers to fill the quota.
The national order numbers, drawn
j in Washington last Tuesday, are to
I he used in determining county order
i numbers. In the drawing at Washing
ton serial number "158" was the
I first one lifted from the pot. That
number was not above The regisira
tion in this county and it was de
signed order number "1". The sec
ond serial number drawn was 182.
That was within the registration in
this county and it was designated
order number "2". The next serial
number drawn was above the reg
istralion in~TTTTs <ounty and so was
the next and the next on down to
the nineteenth one called. The nine
teenth number called was 105, and
that was the third one to fit a serial
number in this county and it was au
tomatically No. 3 for this county.
Order numbers are being unoffi
cially listed by this paper, hut they
are subject to change.
Griffins Citizens

In accordance with thr wishes and
instructions of Plenny Peel, a meet

In April, 1801, H J Manning pre

This paper is publishing the first
500 order numbers for tin4 selective
service as they apply to registrants
in Martin County. While gained by
long hours of search centered in the
list of 9,000 numbers drawn in Wash
ington last Tuesday, the order num
bers offered below are almost cer
tain to vary slightly from the offi
cial list which is yet to be.received
by Jhe Martin County Draft Board
Registrants, it is believed, can de
termine fairly accurately their stand
by the numbers listed below, but
they should remember that these
order numbers are subject to cor
rection
Turning to the master list ^the
numbers drawn in Washington this
week) employees of this paper pick
ed out the numbers as they apply to
the registration in this county. Start
mg with the number "158", the first
one drawn, the order numbers were
applied in numerical sequence to
every serial number within the
county registration total of 3,269
It is believed that the first quotas
can be filled from the 500 names list
ed below, meaning that the higher
a registrant's number is, the loss
likely it'll be for him to get a call to
| service. It is fairly certain that those
'men whose order numbers are un
der 500 are staring the army square
ly in the face if they have no valid
i claims to deferment. The chance of
call, while still in' effect, is not as
great in the second group of 500 and
! so on.
The first number before each name

which the order was determined and
