Coburn Calls Dozen Cases In County's Court Old Liquor Law Violation Case Finally Removed From the Doeket * Calling an even dozen cases in the Martin County Recorder's Court last Monday, Judge W. H. Coburn clear ed the criminal docket, apparently in preparation for handling a grow ing list of cases charging violation of the tax laws. One of the cases clear ed from the docket, a bit dusty and well bewhiskered, was that charging Ben Biggs with violation of the li quor laws. Judge H. O. Peel before retiring from the bench nad contin tinued U19 case from time to time under prayer for judgment, and it was not until last Monday, eight months after taking over the jur ist's seat, that he brushed the action off the docket, the court clerk record ing the judgment under the title of "nol prosse." Another old case in which Andrew Andrews was charg ed with violating the liquor laws was also nol prossed. Charged with an assault with deadly weapon, Major "Yank" Lloyd was found guilty over his plea of in nocence, and was sentenced to the roads for sixty days. Before he could be transferred to the jail from the courtroom, ? the prosecutor, Don Johnson, called him 'to answer in the case charging him with failing to list taxes Pleading guilty, he was sentenced to the roads for another 30 days. M. Itnber.vm. charged with an assault, was fined $25 and taxed with the cost. Notice of appeal was given and bond in the sum of $100 was re quired George Lee Jones, charged with reckless driving, was fined $25 and taxed with the costs of the action. The case charging Joe Frank May born with bastardy, was continued until the first Monday in Septem ber. Pleading guilty in the case charg ing him with an assault, Samuel Thomas Williams was sentenced to the roads for thirty days. Charged with failure to list taxes. Charlie B. Barnes pleaded not guil ty. He was found not guilty. Moses James, charged with fail ing to list for taxation, pleaded guil ty and was sentenced to the roads for thirty days. Major Lloyd, pleading guilty in the case charging him with failing to list property for taxation, was sen tenced to the roads for thirty days. Judgment was suspended in the failing to list property for taxation upon condition that he pay his taxes amounting to $5.80, list in accordance with the law and pay the costs amounting to $4.40. It was pointed out that he had paid must of his taxes. * Ernest Johnson, charged with not listing his property, was directed to (Continued on page six) Jamesville Negro Dangerously Cut ??? Motivated by deathly jealousness, a knife attack was directed against James Gilmore, Jamesville Ne gro, by his wife, Ethel, at their store home there last Sunday afternoon. His intestines partly cut from his belly, Gilmore continues in the hos pital, doctors describing his condi tion as critical. The attack victim is fighting a stubborn case of peritoni tis, it was said. The wife is in the county jail awaiting the outcome of his condition. The wife, informed that her hus band had been spending some time with another woman, argued with Gilmore while walking to their home in an old store on Jamesville's once busy Main Street. When they reach ed home, the wife asked to borrow his knife supposedly to trim her fin ger nails. Instead of trimming her nails, the wife worked on her hus band, a meaningful blow being di rected on his body. The wife carried him to the hospital and did not re turn. Refusing at first to talk about the case or tell who attacked him, Gil more was warned that his life was hanging in the balance, and the case was reported to the sheriff late Tuesday when the victim told of the attack. County Youth Gets Award In Contest Young Bryan Haislip, ion of Com missioner and Mrs. R. A. Haislip, gained unusual honor this week when he was recognized by a nation al magazine as one of four North Carolina youths to submit a prize winning essay. In recognition of his part in the contest, the young man was awarded a certificate of merit and a check for five dollars. The magazine announced that there were 635,898 competitors in the contest, that only 432 prizes were awarded. Cashing his check here this morn ing, the youth applied the prize money on a defense bond. The prize winner has been asked to submit his paper for publication.

FIRST LO.VI) The first load of farmer's to baeco seen this year, moved through here last Tuesday eve ning at 8:50 o'clock, apparently headed for the Border or South Carolina markets. Of medium size, the truck came from across the river, presumably from Ber tie County. A few Martin County farmers are said to have visited the bor der belt this week, but the vast majority, or at least 99.41 per cent, have chosen to sell their tobacco with the home folks. ~ Twenty Counties In State Pass Quotas For Air Ambulance Hun To Jiring Campaign To A (.lone Within the Next T wo W eekn # Raleigh?With more than twenty counties having reached or exceed ed their quota in the Old North State Fund state-wide campaign to raise $75,000 for the presentation of a fully equipped airplane ambulance or mercy plane to the people of Kng land as a gift from the citizens of Nurth Carolina. Judge F O Bow man, state chairman, expressed con fidence that the entire sum would hoenme available in the near futuri Declaring that active committees are engaged in raising funds in the majority of the 100 counties of the State, Bowman stated that his exec utive committee hoped to complete the financial drive within the next two weeks. "It is a pleasure to an nounce," said the Male chairman, "that the following counties have already gone over the top, many far exceeding their quota: Ashe, Ber tie, Caswell. Catawba, Chowan. Col umbus, Currituck. Haywood, Hoke, Lincoln, Macon, Northampton, Orange, Perquimans, Polk. Robeson, Scotland, Transylvania, Wake, Wash ington and Wilson "Due to local conditions in some of the larger counties, the Old North 1 State Fund has held up the start of active campaign but our chairmen in these counties assure us that they will be able to keep pace with the example set by the twenty-odd coun ties which have completed their cam paigns with excellent results "It is interesting to note in reports from the various counties that the rank and file of citizens are showing enthusiasm towards this humanitar ian cause, and are anxious to make the hadlv needed gift of a mercy., ship a reality as quickly as possible. | Hundreds of contributions have come from children, while literally thous-1 ands of donations have been receiv ed from people of very modest means "As planes of a type suitable for - conversion into hospital-ships are becoming more and more difficult to secure^ we are particularly anxious to complete our state-wide cam paign in the near future as dispatches (Continued on page six) Late Tax Listers In County l)i?j To Stav Out Of Jail Money Withdrawn from Hid ing I'lnrc* l>y Defendant* To Settle Account* After striking a serious cord in the county court last Monday, the round-up of delinquent tax listers in ihe qpunty has been running under its own steam, more t>i less Conyine i'd that the tax authorities mean bus iness. the heretofore tax free group is scampering to and fro to raise money to keep put of jail.

But strange as it (Continued on page six) ? Miss Doris Lcacli Added To Faculty Miss Doris Leach, of La Grange, this week was elected to succeed Mrs-Nancy Glover Dunn as teacher >f English and French in tin- local high school. Mrs. Dunn, a member of ;he faculty here during the past sev eral yyars, recently tendered her resignation. Miss Leach, a graduate of the Wo man's College of the University of North Carolina, taught in the Pine L??vel School during the past three terms. * Miss Carthiene Hocll, it was learn ed in the office of the county super intendent of schools here today, has aeen named to the Oak City faculty.

Several positions made vacant by resignations in various schools an* yet to be filled, but it was learned that contracts are pending and that nil elections would be held in ample time for starting the new term on September 4th. Much trouble is be ing experienced in filling the posi tion of manual arts teacher m the lo cal schools, and just now there is Some doubt if a teacher will be avail able before the term gets underway. All Is Quiet On The Illicit Liquor Front In I he Lounty All's quiet on the illicit liquor front in the county at the present time, according to A B.C. Officer Joe H. Roebuck who declared yesterday that he could not remember when the business was as near completely dried up as it is now. Letters, report ing illicit manufacturing plants, are seldom received, and diligent inves tigations have revealed virtually no activity in the bush business. Accompanied by Special State A. B. C. officers, Deputy Roebuck this week captured a 30-gallon copper kettle in the Free Union section of Jamesville Township The plant had been abandoned. In the upper part of the county yesterday, the officers found an abandoned plant. Carrying on an effective work with the aid of the sheriff's office, the ABC officer had things fairly well under control when the feder al government stationed two officers here. Nine alleged violators of the liquor laws were rounded up within a short time, and the business sched ule was interrupted. When State ABC Officers Lassitcr and Graham reported here for special work this week there was little work to be done. It is possible now that the illicit manufacturing business will be vir tually stamped out in the county, but officers admit they have a prob lem to solve around a few homes where the retail traffic is booming The State ABC officers, working un der W. S. Hunt, former highway pa trolman, will work in this and oth er counties at more or less regular intervals, it was learned. With the county, state and federal govern ments working in close cooperation, operations will be difficult for the illicit liquor manufacture in the fu ture.

Farm operators will be noti fied by direct mail to call for the cards, and they are urged to get the marketing slips during next week to avoid any rush that will accompany a delay the day before or on the day , the markets open.

Those farm ers who planted in excess of their j allotments will be issued red cards, allowing the marketing of a certain amount of tobacco tax free but des- , ignating the payment of a tax for ex ! ess marketing Quite a few farmei art* said to have unintentionally i planted in excess of their allotments, but the surplus has been destroyed in most cases, it was learned The 1941 cards are very similar 10 those used last season.

First In Series Of Good Meetings Held Last Evening The first in a series of good will meetings and concerts by the Wil hamston High School band was held in the Bear Grass school last eve ning While the size of the crowd was disappointing, the response from the group of more than 100 farmers, farmers' wives and children was really encouraging. Under the direction of Professor Jack Butler, the band, after only a few rehearsals offered a very en^ tertaining concert which from all in dications was much enjoyed. Mayor John L. Hasscll, appearing on the program as a bearer of good will, briefly addressed the group In his talk he referred to the friendship ex isting between the people of Bear Grass and community and the peo ple of Williamston, and expressed great appreciation for the patronage accorded the town's tobacco mar ket and it* merchants. The meeting, marked by the absence of commer ?-ici I ism. stressed good will and greater cooperation on tin- part of veryone in building a greater Mar tin County and promoting unity among its people. Possibly farm tasks, holding farm ers and members of their families to their homes until late in the evening, kept many away from the 'meeting, but a large crowd is expected at Farm Life this evening where the second in the series of meetings will "be held. Next Wednesday, a third in the series of meetings will be held at Coleraine. On Thursday, August 21>t, 8 concert will be held at Mace donia, and plans are being made for holding the fait in th< series at Oak City on the evening of the 25th. Quite "?r few local people accom panied the band last evening ,and others are invited to join them on the lemairung trips. Tobacconists and the Chamber of Commerce are cooperating splendidly in the move ment. Russia Experiences Setback In Ukraine During Recent Days ?
