Missing: Man Found
n
Dead In Tranters
Creek List Tuesday
(Continued from page one)
Aycrs' body was lying in about
eight inches of water, his hands ex
tended upward and his nose about an
inch under water. There were no
signs of any struggle, small vines
tungled around his fingers being un
broken.
Three of the rifle bullets borrowed
were found in his pocket, but the
rifle has not bA'n found
Witnesses denied any knowledge
of a fight at a liquor still on Wolf
pit Island not far from where the
Ixidy was found in the swamp. A
general disturbance was reported on
the island some time during Sun
day morning, but as far as it could
be learned the names of the partici
pants and the details have not been
disclosed by officers
That there is another unexplored
angle to the death is fairly definite
ly established, but whether the case
will be pursued further could not
be learned. Ayers was not very well
liked in the community, and it is
understood that he was held in con
tempt because he had reported li
quor stills to Martin County officers.
Following the hearing, it was point
ed out that while the man met with
no foul play, he certainly did not re
ceive much consideration or attention
at the hands of some of his neigh
bors.
Members of the coroner's jury
wereAbe Gray- and T. L. Perkins.
of Stokes; Robert L. Taylor and Coy
Bullock, both of Robcrsonville R. F.
D. 1; J. M. Ward and J. H. Harris,
both of Greenville.
The exposure or heart attack vic
tim was the son of Mrs. Henry D.
Ayers and the late Mr. Ayers of this
county. He was 31 years old and had
lived ' nearly alibis life Tn Bear
Grass. Besides his mother, and wife,
the former Miss Louise Wynne, he
is survived by two brothers, Marvin
and Lloyd Ayers, and a sister, Mrs.
Lin Williams. Funeral services were

Right To Redeem
Farms Is Upheld
By Supreme Court
(Continued from page one)
reasonable tmie, fixed by the court,
authorized to order a public sale."
This case involved a 200-acre farm
whose tota 1 va 1 ue was set at $6,000
by the lower court but on which Mr.
Wright owed $15,903.68 to the Un
ion Central Life Insurance Co.
Mr. Wright has entered a cross pe
tition asking the lower court to ap
praise the value of the farm or to
set a hearing at which the value
would be determined by the court
so that he might redeem the proper
ty at its true value. The lower court
had refused to grant this petition.
The Supreme Court decision now
makes it mandatory in effect for the
courts to grant such petitions.
The Supreme Court pointed out
that the avowed purpose of the act
was to relieve farmers of an excess
ive debt load which they cannot
possibly pay off and that failure to
give the farmer an opportunity to
purchase his farm at its current
value is to repudiate the intent of
the act.

Williamston Eagl es
. Lose To Conway
The Williamston Eagles took it on
the chin again last night when they
traveled over to Conway and were
turned back by the All-Star team
of that city. The final score was 32
to 26
The game was a hard fought one
all the way, the count at half time
being 16-14 in favor of the winners.
However, it was reported that the
Eagles looked better than at any
time before this season, and at the
same time they offered a slightly
changed line-up. Howard Earp, a
flashy player, was at one of the for
ward posts during part of the game,
and offered fine all-around play.
Scoring honors for the game for
the locals went to Jim Cooke, with
seven, while the winners were led
by Eugene Ange, Jamesville prod
uct now teaching in Conway. Ange
made 14 points
Next Monday night the Eagles
will journey to Colerain to meet the
Red Devils basketball team of that
