Few Change* Made in Final Wind-up of Valuation Problem* Readily admitting that there may be and possibly are inequalities still cxistin'g in property valuations '" listed in this county knowing at the same time that they have weighed every complaint and diligently tried to be fair with every one alike, the Martin commission ers cleared its desk of valuation problems late last Wednesday af ternoon and adjourned follo*''"g nearly three weeks of patient listen ing and study comparisons of prop erty values in every nook and cor ner of the county Property owners have been given their opportunity to appeal from the assessed valua tions. and it will be with much in convenience that future complaints can be heard with any likelihood of change In clearing their desk late Wednesday afternoon and despite thi possibility that inequalities continue to exist in some listings, the author ities were of the firm belief that many injustices existing for long years had been eliminated and that the total valuation for real proper ties will show a gain in the neigh borhood of three-quarters of a mil lion dollars. Few changes in listings were ef fected in the wind-up session Wed nesday. In fact, few complaints were directed to the board W M Harri son. Bear Grass farmer, went over his listings with the board and the value placed on his home was drop ped from $2,200 to $1,500 Mr F. U Barnes, while offering no direct com plaint. explained to the board that there was an apparent error in the listings for cut-over acreages Ac cepting his figures, the board placid 700 of 5.000 acres in Devreaux swamp 111 the cut-over classification, the ac tion automatically dropping the value from $10 to $4 an acre or a totaL re duction of about $4,200. Farmer and Mrs. Jim Statoh spent a greater part of the afternoon dis cussing the tax.problem and confin ing their complaints against the val nation placid on the Tar Heel apart _ menu, including the pent house and offices, garages and Bill Peele s in surance office The authorities call ed for a cost estimate and income statement, and left the matter open without change. Final action is ex^ peeled at the regular meeting of the commissioners next Monday The property was raised from $1B. 500 to $23,500 by the equalization Ixiard, the latter figure being in ef fect at the present time A lone complaint was heard from an automobile owner It is general ly admitted that automobiles are listed at a figure nearer their actual value than any other type of Pf'P erty but the only complaint heard from the vehicle owners was filed Wednesday afternoon by Mrs Len nie Manning. It was pointed out that her car was listed at $50 below the blue book schedule because of lU bent fenders and general condition, but the $400 listed value was allow ed to stand unchanged (Continued on page six) + Undertakers Turn From Aging Corpse ??? After a stay of two months in the muddy waters of the Roanoke a few miles below Jamesville, the body of Eddie Moore, colored man, lies at rest in the family cemetery near Jamesville beside that of his father who was killed in the logwoods a dozen or more years ago. Difficul ties and delay, and possibly custom, too, blocked the funeral program for three days, but it was a job well done when the last spade of dirt was pack ed on the grave mound and the com forting minister offered a last pray er for his soul. Discovered in the Roanoke last Sunday afternoon by Charlie Ellis, the body was removed to a little used house on the river bank at Jamesville. An undertaker was no tified. but the case was too bad. and another one was called. A casual in spection was made and the second undertaker backed away. County Coroner S. R Biggs, after waiting the pleasure of the family, finally had to step in and he called an un dertaker, the third one offered the case "It was a difficult assignment, but J D. Everett handled it to the very best advantage possible," Mr. Biggs said. Much of the body was placed in a plaster cast to hold it to gether. During the meantime medical ex aminers representing an insurance company stepped in to determine the eatise of death and make certain there had been no foul play, the pol icy relieving the company if there had been foul play. Permission for an autopsy was gained, and medical men were called from Wake Forest. A complete report on the autopsy has not been filed, but it is already agreed in the minds of the people acquainted with the case that Eddie Moore accidentally fell into the riv er from a log barge at Jamesville on January 29. that it was recovered on March 30. and that it nbw rests at peace in a cemetery near James ville. Number of Non-Tax listers Is Increasing as Survey Proceeds The inventory- of personal proper ties by list-takers was seen this week by the authorities as an urgent need for improving the tax struct ure in Martin County. Holding a last scheduled meeting as a board of equalization and review, the county commissioners discovered marked j discrepancies in the personal prop- j erty lists. What action, if ^any, they will take remains to be seen. It has j been all but frankly Admitted that ? little can be done about the person al property listings this year, but re membering the apparent discrepan cies the authorities next year may propose a change or two that will be recognized as bordering on the radi cal side of property taxation Browsing through the personal property abstracts prepared in sev eral of the ten townships last Wed nesday, the tax authorities found a marked variation in some of the list ings Unless there are other factors FACTORY Recently purchasing the prop erties of the Goldman Package Manufacturing Company here, the Williamston Package Manu facturing Company plans to place the factory on Roanoke River in operation on or about the 14th of this month, it was learned today. II. P. Dupuy, new plant super intendent, reported here yester day from Sod us, New York, and he is getting the plant ready for operation. Only a few minor changes will be effected at this time, Mr. Dupuy said. T*he new company owners, depending al most entirely on local labor, will bring in only a few skilled work ers. Mrs. Dupuy and their two small children will join Mr. Du puy here just as soon as he can find a home or an apartment. New Crop Justices Of The Peace Now Available In County Not Likely Thai All 1^'^iHla live Appointor* W ill Qual ify For the Office There is now available to Martin County a large crop of justices of the peace for the protection of life, limb and property and for maintain ing quiet and order in every nook and corner of the political subdivi sions. The recent legislature appoint ed six new justices in this county, boosting the total count to a mere possible 17. The new appointees are. A. B Ayers, Sr. Bear Grass; J S. Ayers. Cross Roads; B R Manning. Griffins. Joe H. Ayers, Goose Nest; Wendell Hamilton. Jamesville, and Mayo Hardison, Poplar Point. They were appointed for six-year terms which date from the first of this month but which do not become ef fective until they qualify themselves by accepting the oath of office. The appointees are being notified this week by Clerk of Court L B Wynne that their commissions await them at his office, but it isn't likely that half of them, if that many, will qual ify by accepting the office oath In addition to the six new appoint ees, five old justices of the peace were reappointed for six-year terms as follows: J A. Davenport, Hamil ton; A. Corey, Jamesville. H. S. Ev erett, Robersonville; J L. Hassell, Williamston ,and Lueian J. Hardi Eon, of Williams Township. The terms of several of the old justices of the peace do not expire for two or three years and in those cases the new terms will run concurrently with ttre~i5td onei. It is apparent that most of the five other old justices of the peace will surrender thfcir offices at the ex piration of their current terms. Jus tice of the Peace R R. Rawls' term in Goose Nest Townships expires June 30, this year, and that of C. B. Riddick in Cross Roads expires next June 24 The terms of C. L. Nelson, Hamilton; H. M Burras, Wil liamston, and George H Leggett ex pire about the middle of 1943. Most of the justices of the peace in the county at the present time are inactive, and take little part in pro moting the general peace other than as individual citizens. LIBRARY BOOKS Through the cooperation of the North Carolina Library Commis sion, the local public library will place on display for one week beginning tomorrow over 200 new children's books. Children of all ages, including the little pre-achool folks, are Invited to inspect the display. Parents are also urged to visit the library. A number of the copies will be pur chased for the local library shelves, and the children and parents can help with the se lections, Mrs. J. C. Cooke, local library head, said this morning. J behind the listed figures, livestock will all but starve on some Martin ' County farms between now and the | next harvest. On an average the j farmers have about $35 worth of ' corn for each mule, and a few hogs [Some, however, have less than $12 I worth of hay and corn for each mule 1 on their farms. Listing 34 mules and a large number of cattle and hogs, one farmer, according to the list taker's figures, had only $400 worth of provisions available for feeding his livestock Comparisons are difficult in de termining an average listing trend for other types of personal proper ty. hut there are many carts valued at only $5. and there is no telling what valuation percentage is for oth er types of personal property. Own ers need not be surprised if they see the list-takers coming to see them next year to count and inventory ev erything on the plantation except the children Schedule Holy ^ eek J Services In the I vocal Theatre Next Week S !>?'<? ia I Religion* Program Will Hi' Featured Fueli Morning al l():.'{() lb By REV. JOHN W. HARDY Rector, Church of the Adveht Next week being Holy Week, the most significant single week in the life of our Lord, the people of Wil liamston will be given an opportun ity to observe it as a unified group of Christian people. As has boon the custom m the past several years, there will be a service each day from Monday through Friday at the Watts Theatre. Since the noon hour does not seem to be the most suitable time, this year the service will be at 10:30 each morning. The high j school will worship with us. This fine spirit on the part of the high school faculty and student body will add much to the observance of Holy Week. Too much emphasis cannot he placed on the great significance of this unified attempt to draw all the people of the community together to worship God. It is hoped that the business peo ple of the town, as well as the rest of our citizens, will make a special effort to attend the services. It may mean that a sacrifice will have to be made in many instances, yet it% will be worthwhile The more that we put into the services the more we w ill be benefitted by them. The serv ices will noLJast over half an hour; surely we can give that much time. If Faster and the Resurrection of our Lord are to find a great triumphant place in our lives then some prepara tion must be devoted to it. Surely the times reflect the great need today. { Each day one of the ministers of the local churches will have charge of the service. The theme of the serv ices will be the events that occurred in Jesus' life for the day The min isters will speak in the following or der: Monday, the Rev Mr. Smith, of the Baptist Church; Tuesday, the Rev. Mr. Goff of the Christian Church; Wednesday, the Rev. Mr. Hardy of the Episcopal Church; Thursday, the Rev. Mr. Hurley of the Methodist Church; and Friday, the Rev. Mr. Piephoff of the Pres byterian Church. The high school has shown its will ingness to make this a great ,week in the religious life of our commun ity. Surely the parents, patrons and everyone cannot help but carry out the fine spirit it has started. May we hear truly the Master's words as He says to us, "Come ye apart, and rest a while." Town Appeals For Express Service 4/ * Mr. Vernon W Shives, superinten dent of the Railway Express Agen cy and Messrs. M W. Page and W R. Poyner, route agents, in a spec ial meeting with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce here on Thursday afternoon, solicited the aid of local townsmen in maintaining the express truck now serving Wil iiamston and various other towns in Martin County. A special permit must be issued by the Interstate Commerce Com mission for the operation of the ex press truck now serving the towns between Williamston and Weldon. Truck lines, particularly the Stall ings and Thurston truck lines, of Wilson, took objection to the issuing of the permit in a temporary hear ing in Raleigh two weeks ago A fi nal hearing will be held in Charlotte Monday before a commissioner of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion of Washington. To prohibit the removal* of the truck now efficiently serving the town and section, the Chamber of Commerce passed a resolution ask ing the Interstate Commission to maintain the service. The resolu tions will be presented in person by local representatives to the commis sioner holding the hearing in Char lotte next Monday.

Chief among the encouraging as peel* are the probability that ex ports to Britain may increase grad ually under the sthnulus of the lend lease bill, and fnr rising domestic consumptj^MtjiHjiich may bring tax paid withdrawals of cigarettes to 190 billion by the end of the fiscal ye^u July 1 On the other hand, the department estimates that flue-cured stocks on July 1 will total about 1,441 million pounds This takes into account to bacco that will lie held by the Com modity Credit Corporation through direct purchase for British interests >r through loans to domestic export dealers If CCC holdings are not in cluded. the July I stocks are expect ed to be between 200 and 900 mil lion pounds above the 1935-40 lev el Little hupe is held that sizable to bacco shipments to Britain may be gin in the near future The depart mi nt analyzes this situation thusly "Die passage of the lease-lend act IS expected to facilitate experts of tobacco to the United Kingdom, ei ther directly under the provisions of the act or indirectly by enabling the British to release dollar exchange for the purchase of United States tobac co It is expected that exports, es pecially of flue-cured to the United Kingdom, will show some improve ment. depending partly upon Un availability of shipping space. At present, large shipments to the United Kingdom are impossible since shipping space is being requisi tioned for war material Future ship ments will depend largely upon the extent that tobacco exports are fa cilitated by the lease-lend act, ther directly under the provisions of the act or indirectly by enabling the British to release dollar exchange for the purchase of tobacco. "So long as hostilities continue, it is to bi- expected that British inter ests will ship only sufficient leaf to maintain stocks for immediate con sumption. In spite of some destruc tion of "?hnec in lilorugo hy ho?lill ties, there Appears to be no serious urgency for immediate shipment As storage supplies in the United King dom are diminished, it is to be ex pected, however, that British inter ests will arrange for shipments suf ficiently large to at least meet min imum requirements." Increasing yields have been noted in recent years, the department points out, and adds that a repetition of last year's yield will mean a crop exceeding 770 million pounds, or 100 million pounds more than estimated on the basis of normal yields. See Urgent Need of Inventory In Listing Personal Property Following up an order coming from the March grand jury at the suggestion of Judge W C. Harris, Martin County tax authorities are reported to have found 200 names missing from the tax books and the survey is hardly a fourth complete It is now estimated that the care less or willful tux dodgers for 1041 will number approximately 8(H) be fore the final check-up is complet ed. It is possible that some of those whose names are not on the books have moved their residences, but a cross check of a number of names shows that the owners are still in the county and that they did not list their personal properties or polls for taxation. It was unofficially learned yester day that 28 white and 31 colored per sons in the town of Jamesvillc hat! not listed for taxation, that 33 white and 24 colored person* <m James j ville R.F.D.

A common thief had stolen between JO and 35 gallons nf gasoline from the truck tank, leaving" only enough for the mechanics to make their daily tests When the call was received the tank was dry. and it was several minutes before the trouble could be detected and rem edied. The department's records show that 20 gallohs of gasoline were plac ed in the truck on March 21 when the firemen were called to a grass fire near the grammai school building. Starting from a flue, fire burned a small place in the dining room wall in the Manning home, but no great damage resulted. Taking several ex tmguishers from the truck, firemen carried them to the fire in private cars but they were not needed as members of the household had brought the fire under control. GaSolinc has been stolen from the truck tank on several previous occa sions, but yesterday was tin- first time that firemen had found the tank completely dry as a result of a common -thief's fancy work Fortun ately no serious situation presented itself, but the dastardly act could have caused serious results.
