Methodists Observe Day Of Compassion The Williamston and Holly Springs Methodist Churches will participate in Methodism's nation-wide observ ance of Day of Compassion Sunday, March 2. It is expected that the more than 1900 Methodist churches in North Carolina will contribute $41. 000 as their share in the million dol lar campaign to relieve human suf fering in war-stricken areas and for special work at home. One-half of the amount will be used foi" overseas relief in Europe and China. Assistance to the Mother Church in Britain will take one quarter of a million dollars. The re maining will be used in meeting the religious needs of youth in training under the Selective Service Act. The million dollar emergency fund is being raised under the leadership of the Council of Bishops, and its use will be carefully guarded by the Emergency Commission, of which Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, Washing ton. D. C- is chairman.

Driving from his home in Oak City to the Halifax town, Mr Barrett suffered a broken pelvis and other injuries. While his condition was described as serious by Drs. Ed Roberson and W. W. Green at a Tar boro hospital, he is expected to re cover if no complications result. Reports from the hospital this morning stated that while Mr. Bar rett rested fairly well last night his condition was still serious, one re port stating that his head was bad ly swollen and that he was hemor rhaging at the eyes. According to information received here, the young farmer-merchant, accompanied by one of his tenants, was driving toward Scotland Neck when the car skidded and he applied the brakes, cev*wg the machine to go out of control His companion was not injured. U. S. A rmy Engineers Making Survey of the Roanoke River Making a survey of Roanoke Riv er, Army engineers this week are believed to have approximated the variations for the centennial or 1877 flood, the 1912 freshet and the de luge of last August. The figures are in the preliminary stage and are not official, the head engineer explain ing that only unofficial recordings had been found, and.that the sur vey had not been advanced to that j point where an official statement ! could be released According to unofficial informa tion reaching here yesterday, an old gum tree in Bond Swamp about two miles below the bridge carries the marks for the 1877, 1912 and 1940 floods At that point the last August flood was about 28 inches higher than the t?m* recorded tn 1877 and about } four feet higher than the 1912. The unofficial findings by the Army engineers correspond fairly closely with an estimate made by the late Elder C. B. Hassell in his diary during the centennial flood. The late Wilhamston minister stated that the flood-in 1877 reached a cross street near the foot of the river hill on Main Street, the last August flood going about two feet above that mark. ' No motive for the present survey could be given by the engineers, but it was learned that a study of flood conditions is being made of the en tire_stream. Some believe that the survey is being made as a prelimi nary step for a flood control pro gram on the n\. r Judge W.H. Unburn Calls Seven Cases In Recorders Court Defendant Drawn 12 Month* On lloiul in \n*ault Willi Deadh Weapon Cane Calling seven cases in the coun ty recorders court last Monday, Judge W. H Coburn took definite action against fights and brawls in and around beer gardens?m the county. While the seriousness of the case before him was handled on its own merits, it is now apparent that those who engage in free-for a fights- -and-general ihstui bailees?ar beer joints will have to pay the price When they appear in Judge Coburn's court. Booker T Bradley, charged with seriously assaulting James Pippen at a Williamston beer garden last De cember. was sentenced to the roads for a term of twelve months. Brad ley maintained that he was attack ed by Pippen, that Pippen actually tried to cut him. Bradley also main tained that he did not strike the blow with a knife that pierced the victim's lung and nearly cost him his life. Released under bond in the sum of $100 following a preliminary hearing, Bradley left the county and was recently arrested in Norfolk by Williamston police assisted by Virginia and bonding company offi cers. Failing to comply with a former, judgment which required him to pay $4 a month for the support of his alleged illegitimate child, Leon Goss was sentenced to the roads for a term of sixty days. Charged with violating the liquor laws, Martha Brown, colored wo man, was sentenced to serve thirty days in jail, the sentence to begin at the direction of the court at any time within the next two years. Judgment was suspended upon , the good behavior of the defendant dur ing that time. The case charging L A. Miller, Virginia man, with drunken driv ing, was continued until March 10 for the defendant's counsel. Judgment was suspended upon payment of the cost in the case charg ing Perry Hopkins, Jr., with care less driving. Hopkins, arrested by Sergeant L. L. Jackson of the State Highway Patrol, pleaded guilty in the case. The ease charging R. R Alexan der and Vera Mae Johfiaon with im morality was continued until next Monday. It was just another day in court but a costly one for Joe Lanier God rad. Sr., the Jamesville Township man who is well advanced on a yard-long record in the courts of this county. While out on bond in a case charging him with an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, Godard was alleged to have operated a motor vehicle without license which had been revoked some time ago. He was first sentenced to serve three months on the roads, but Judge Coburn changed the judgment and fined him $25, the case cost boosting the amount to $51.80. Ber tha Morgan, Godard's companion at the time the assault with a dead ly weapon with intent to kill took place has .been released from the county jail under bond. Eleven Free Union i Stills Are Wrecked Raiding without success in the Free Union section last week, coun ty ABC officers returned there this week to find the liquor manufactur ing business running full blast. "It was dry last week, it is a powder keg now," a resident of the section fas quoted as saying Eleven plants, including several large ones, were destroyed, the of ficers capturing copper kettles at five of the plants. The amount of beer poured out and description of property seized by the officers could not be learned. Yesterday, officers raided an wrecked a liquor plant in Bear Grasi No particular! were revealed. SKCONI) IIK.II Poplar Point. Martin County s timrst township, holds a rankin* position as far as cleared land values are concerned. Its 4,220 acres of cleared land are valued at $157,822, or a per acre value of $37.40. The district's listings for cleared acres are just $2.45 below the assessed values In Williams ton Township. All of the townships have not yet re ported their listings and it is possible that the ratings will be altered when the reports are made complete. Germany Is Handed A Set-Back f it The Balkans By R ussia Turkey untl llritiiin Reported In Perfeet \eeord On Policies Doing what some .describe as an | about-face. Russia is reported to j have handed Hitler a set-back in his ; Balkan campaign, the real meaning of the action to be determined only by future developments. Briefly stated, the outlook for Britain in the Mediterranean area is much im porved by Russia's latest action and by the capture of island territories j by the British near Turkey. On the other hand. Bulgaria, possibly by threat or force, is said to be consid ering lining up with Germany. Brit- I tin has warned Bulgaria that a def- I |-initc^move toward the Axis line-up j will be answered by air attacks. A successful conference was held ! by Turkish and British officials Turkey this week, reports stating that the two nations are in perfect according as to future policies. Brit ain's Anthony Eden was loudly pro claimed by the Turks who declared a general holiday to receive him. The Greeks are still reporting suc cesses in their Albanian campaign against the Italians, but it is appar ent that they are hardly more than marking time while awaiting fur ther developments on the diploma tic front. Communications have been sever ed with Holland, but it is believed that serious trouble is brewing there against the German barbarians. Food supplies are being rapidly de pleted there, and the Dutch are thought to be aggravating the situa tion there for Germany. British shipping has been attack ed ferociously, and heavy losses have | j been claimed in Berlin reports. As Britain was scoring apparent | success on the diplomatic front, Ger j many was reported to be moving more war equipment into Rumania I and possibly into Bulgaria. Numbers of German bombers were seen fly (Continued on page four) t To Occupy Office* Hare Vacated By Dr. Spencer | ? The Modern Beauty Shoppe and the Flower Shoppe, managed by Mrs. J. A.

University Band Is Well Received Here The University of North Carolina band which appeared, in the Wil liam.ston High School auditorium lasl Wednesday morning under the di rection of Earl Slocum' captivated an audience of young and old alike with a well-balanced performance.' Play ing the range from symphony to swing, the able group of college musicians provoked enthusiastic ap plause from the 750 students und townspeople gathered in the school auditorium. The group included grammar school students and teach ers who were guests of the high school. Opening their concert with a lively Mexican march, "Zaeatneas," the university concert group set the stage for Beethoven's "Eroica," which was rendered with fine balance and intonation as the deeper brasses car ried the major part of the selection. Demonstrations of unusual instru ments followed as the alto Clarinet, bass clarinet, the flute, the piccolo, and the French horn were display ed and played. The iittle folk were especially pleased with the piccolo solo. Other selections, all of which were well received, included Mr. SlocurriV own arrangement of "Stormy Weather," seven tunes played at once and called the "Bat tie of the Band," "Dixie," "Stars and Stripes Forever," "Hark the Sound," "King Cotton," and "The Star Span gled Banner." During the concert, Mr. Slocum invited J. F. Butler, director of Wil liamston High's new band organiza tion, to lead the college group in a number. "King Cotton," the lively march by John Philip Sousa, as played under the baton of Mr. But ler, was received warmly by the local group. The audience was lavish in its praise of the quality of the program rendered by the university group, which is rightly ranked as one of the best in the nation. Director Slocum expressed appreciation for the fine reception given the musicians by the lodal audience. V, t Suffer* Broken Wrial In Fall From Automobile ?

Tax Problems Facing Board Commissioners Board Will Likel\ Discuss Permanent Comity Grand Jury l.illlt- Olhrr KiiHinos Scln'il ? ileal For C.?,l?iil<-riiti<>n \l )1i'i'liii|i Moil?lu> Tax problems, complicated in any years but aggravated this year by a property revaluation schedule, will ; stare l b. ? cQUllly commissioners in the face when they meet in their 'regular monthly session here next Monday. The meeting will mark the lifting of the, lid on the-pandora-lax I box. Tax Supervisor S 11 Grimes ! stating today that it was impossible at this time to anticipate with any degree of accuracy the size of the expected increase in property values. In fact, the supervisor is not abso lutely certain that there will be an increase in the total valuation All of the boards of assessors have not turned in their listings, and the first report from personal property list lings has not yet been received. The tax scrolls will not be prepared un til after the commissioners sit as a j board of equalization and review and j approve the values placed on real I properties by tin' several boards of | assessor^. When the commissioners meet next Monday they will have a fuirly ac curate picture of values placed on cleared lands in the various town ships. Vacations in the listings in some townships as compared with listings in other townships are quite apparent Just what the commission I ers will do about those variations re mains to be seen. They may leave them untouched, they may lower the ! higher listings or they may increase ! the lower listings after allowing for land types, locations and other fact ors, of course. Some action in this i connection is necessary before the j commissioners meet as a board of I equalization and review, because a I property owner may accept the list ings determined by the assessors, but would complain if they were I increased under a blanket order Preliminary estimates point to a i fairly sizable increa ? in real values for the county Comparisons, while not complete and which are sub ject to minor changes, have been made for listings in three townships, Williams, Griffins and Poplar Point. The. three districts show a gain in real property values in the sum of $H0,793 as follows: Williams, $2H. 4<>H; Griffins, $43,125, and Poplar Point, $9,200. The valuation trend will be studied with interest, but the job at hand for the commissioners centers around equalization insofar as equalization is possible. . ... There is little other business scheduled for consideration at the meeting next Monday, but it is like ly that the tax problem in itself will keep the authorities in session a greater part of the day The estab lishment of a permanent grand jury for the county has been mentioned, and it is likely that the commission ers will discuss the merits and de merits of the permanent system with the possibility that some action will be taken. A jury list for the two weeks of civil court convening in April will be drawn, and other rou tine matters will be handled "If there is any more business to come before the meeting, I do not know about it at this time," Board Chair man R. *L Perry said yesterday Little Hope Seen For County Roads There's been much talk heard about the secondary road problem in this and other counties of the State dating back to Governor Broughton's inaugural address. Martin County's commissioners held a parley with Representative Clarence Griffin and | Senator Hugh G Horton weeks ago in the interest of the all-but-forgot |ten farm-to-market roads. Legislative proposals to relieve the deplorable [conditions have been advanced, one providing for the expenditure of two million on the muddy 'tater ridges here and in other counties. A short time ago former road com missioner, D C Barnes, of this dis trict, stated that no State funds could be used on secondary roads unless those funds were marked by WPA or federal funds. Briefly stat ed, North Carolina cannot or will not spend a copper cent on improving secondary roads unless the federal government spends a like amount. This week Highway Commissioner Wolfe of the Charlotte district frank ly stated that he saw little hope for better county roads. Commissioner Wolfe explained that defense roads | come first, meaning, in substance, that farmers, rural letter carriers and school busses will be forced to plow around in the mud until the war is over, if and when that will be. MOKI CIIKCKS ^Thf distribution of r*>il con servation checks to Martin t'oun tv farmer* is speeding forward rapidly, the office of the coun ty farm agent today stating that 296 checks amounting to $14, 160.95 and representing 166 ap plications had been received during the current week to date. So far this season. 894 checks amounting to $43,520.12 and representing 551 applications have been received for distri hution among Martin farmers complying with the soil eon.ser vat ion program. It is estimated that the total payments will amount to $130,000 this year.
