Dr. Zeno B. Spence Delivers
Temperance Address in
Methodist Church
?
Dr. Zeno B. Spence, of Goldsboro,
delivering a temperance address in
the local Methodist church Sunday
morning, fired the first gun in what
has been described as the foundation
for a campaign to stamp out the
liquor traffic in Martin County. The
Goldsboro doctor continued his as
sault on the liquor traffic and its ac
companying evils in an afternoon
address to the congregation at Holly
Springs.
This was one of the temperance
field days which the dry forces are
holding each Sunday in the differ
ent counties of the state. The'pur
pose of these meetings is to educate
the people concerning the evils of
strong drink, and to awaken a suf
ficient interest among the people who
live in the counties that have liquor
stores to call for an election for
their overthrow. Dr. Spence's ad
dress was primarily educational.
Aside from his denunciation of
the great destroyer in general, Dr.
Spence rehearsed the history of the
liquor traffic in the state. He told
of the victory for prohibition in
1908, when the people voted out the
manufacture and sale of liquor by
a majority of 44,196, and in 1933 the
people of North Carolina voted
against the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment by a majority of 184,672.
In spite of this the legislature passed
a bill allowing certain counties to
call an election to vote for liquor
stores. The advocates of repeal, and
also the advocates of liquor stores,
claimed that to make liquor legal
would do three things: First, it would
do away with illegul liquor; second,
it would aid in the cause of temper
ance; and third, it would reduce
taxes Dr. Soence quoted statistic*
to prove that it has not done any of
these things which they contended
the legal sale of liquor by the ABC
stores would do. To the contrary,
he quoted facts to prove that there
is more drinking today than ever
before. Women and young people
are drinking more than they ever did
under the old saloon days. We still
have the blockader and bootlegger
with us. And the old argument that
the ABC stores would reduce taxes
has turned out to be a myth.
Many counties in the state where
they have ABC stores have called
for elections to get rid of their
stores, the speaker said, as "the peo
ple are getting disgusted with them."
"Bertie, Franklin, Vance and War
ren Counties have called elections
to close their liquor stores," Dr.
Spence said He stated further that
every county that has called for an
election for this purpose has suc
ceeded He cherished the hope thut
the good people of this and every
county in the state where they have
liquor stores would rise up and drive
them from their midst.

Two Men Arrested
At Liquor Plant
Trapped by federal, county and
special officers, Lorie Williams and
Fate Smith, white men, were arrest
ed at a liquor still in the Flat Swamp
section of Robersonville Township
shortly after midnight last Saturday.
After observing the plant at vari
ous times during the week, the of
ficers found a perfect setting when
they made their fifth trip there. Four
gallons of liquor had already been
manufactured, and the white light
ning was running when the officers
flushed the operators. Eleven bar
rels of beer were ready for the kettle.
The officers poured out the beer and
wrecked the plant.
Federal Officers O'Reilley and
Webster, County Officer Roy Peel,
ABC Officer Joe Roebuck and Pitt
County ABC officers made the raid.
Given a preliminary hearing be
fore U. S. Commissioner Walter Hal
berstadt here Saturday, Williams and
Smith were bound over to the federal
court for trial in Washington next
Monday.

Two Children Badly
Injured In Accidents
REJECTED
That portion of U. S. Highway
17 between Edenton and Wash
ington, while possibly a thorn in
the state commission's side, is
faring little better than a red
headed step-child. The floods
washed it out a year ago. It was
threatened to be closed. The fill
contractors almost made a per
manent job out of a temporary
one. Paving work is a bit spas
modic. "Our friends" have been
trying to steal the traffic, and
now the commission comes along
and rules that the $65,205 bid for
surfacing the road from here to
the Beaufort line is too high.
And, doggone it, maybe it is.
About all there is left is hope?
and the WPA.
Negro Is Critically
Shot at Everetts
Early I^ast Sunday
Removed lo Washington Hos
pital Yesterday Afternoon
For Treatment
?
Cleophus H1 nton, colored man,
was critically shot by Joe Henry
Spruill, also colored, at the home of
John Sam Moore, near Everetts,
early last Saturday morning. The
load of shot, dismembering a part
of his person, lodged in his thigh
near the groin. The shooting was
described by Sheriff C. B. Roebuck
as the most unusual and most com
plete ever reported in the county
A similar shooting was reported in
Robersonville several weeks ago, but
that "Won't nothing" compared with
the one near Everetts, according to
the officer.
Hinton and Spruill. apparently
good friends up until late Saturday
night, had been drinking together
at Robersonville and went to Moore's
home at a late hour. An argument
was started over money, according
to Spruill. Few details could be
gained by Sheriff C. B. Roebuck, who
investigated the attack, but, accord
ing to the officer, there was much
evidence of a fight in the home. The
sheriff declared that blood was all
over the house, on the porch, on the
beds, and even under the house,
where Hinton was found about 4
o'clock Sunday morning. Chairs
were broken, a lamp was found in
the yard, windows were broken out
and shades and curtains were found
in the yard.
Margaret Spruill, Joe Henry
mother, declared she left home
shortly after midnight when the fight
first started, and that she knew
nothing of the attack. "Dead" drunk,
Moore slept through the fight and
uhfuitinff nnrt knpur nnlhinff nhniil it
until the following morning.
Spruill, making no effort to cacape,
was arrested Sunday in Everetts.
He recalled the argument over the
money, but said nothing about a
fight. Spruill ? maintained that he
tried to get Hinton to go to his home
on t|ie old mill lot on the outskirts
of Everetts, and pushed him out the
door-and bolted it. Hinton returned
and started knocking on the door.
Spruill, according to Sheriff Roe
buck, warned Hinton that he would
shoot if he (Hinton) broke in. Hin
ton apparently paid no attention to
the warning, and when he pushed
his way into the house, Spruill shot
him. Leaving home, Spruill told
about the attack, and friends went
there for Hinton. He could not be
found in the house, and it was first
thought that he had gone into the
woods and died. The search was
ended about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing when they found him under the
Moore home. He was carried to Rob
ersonville for treatment and was lat
er carried to his home. He was
moved to a Washington hospital yes
terday afternoon after the case was
investigated by the welfare depart
ment and it was determined that the
man could not finance his way.
No direct report has been received
from the hospital, but it is under
stood that his condition is critical.

Will Be Held Thursday
Afternoon
Two small children were critically
injured and the lives and limbs of
several other persons were threat
ened in a series of automobile acci
dents scattered over a wide area in
the county during the past week
end.
"If no complications develop, he is
expected to recover" was the report
coming from the bedside of little
Sherwood Carraway, who was
brought to the Brown Community
hospital here for treatment early
Sunday night, when he was struck
by a car driven by Joseph William
Zimmerman, of 371 E. 204th Street,
New York City, near Beaver Dam
bridge, a few miles east of Everetts
on U. S. Highway 64. A similar re
port was received this morning from
a Tarboro hospital, telling of the
condition of Howard Maxton Har
rell, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. L. Harrell, who was run down by
a car on the old river road, not so
far from Oak City, Saturday after
noon.
The Carraway, lad, 6-year-old son
of Mrs Whit Moore, of near Everetts,
was walking along the highway
when he snatched away from an
older brother's hand and darted in
to the path of the Zimmerman car.
His head struck the radiator grill
and he was knocked a few feet down
the highway, thV driver stopping'the
ar without running ovei the child
Mr. Zimmerman picked the child up
and carried him to the hospital,
where it was learned he had suf
fered head injuries but no broken
bones. Zimmerman reported the ac
cident to Patrolman Whit Saunders,
and, aftyr arranging bond through
his insurance company, he and his
young wife continued their wed
ding trip , "If the car had been trav
eling at a rapid rate of speed, I hon
estly believe it would have killed
the child," Patrolman Saunders com
mented after investigating the acci
dent.
'The little Harrell child was play
ing with the children of Mr. and Mrs.
L. A. Thompson when he almost lost
his life Saturday afternoon about 4
o'clock. Riding in a wagon, the boy
was pushed down the Thompson
drive into the path of a car driven
by Jesse Lee, colored man. Lee was
not driving very fast, but his brakes
were not very effective and, although
he Swerved to the right and ran his
car into the ditch he could not avoid
striking the child as he rode into
the dirt road. The exact nature of
inc ?Jyjy a uijui irn tuuiu liui I
learned immediately, but apparently
he was hurt internally, but no bones
were broken. Lee is to be given a
hearing before Justice L. H. Hop
kins in Oak City Wednesday.
Fate was liberal in dishing out
misfortune to William Howard Van
derford on the Gold Point-Hassell
road over the week-end, when he
was involved in two wrecks. He
came through both without a scratch,
but not without a fairly heavy prop
erty damage. Driving toward Has
sell Sunday afternoon about 5:30
o'clock, Vanderford met Harvey Har
ris, colored man of 754 19th Street,
Newport News. Harris turned out,
but lost control of his car in a sand
bed and it plowed into the left side
of Vanderford's 1936 Chevrolet. To
tal damage to both cars was estimat
ed at about $75.
Monday morning as Vanderford
was driving out of his driveway
about a mile away from the scene
of his first accident, his car was
struck on the left side by Claude Le

All Faculty Places

After conducting searches as far
away as Texas and Illinois, school
officials yesterday announced all
teacher positions in the county filled,
temporarily, at least Mrs. Robert
Collard, of Carbondale, 111., and wife
of Professor in the local schools, is
substituting in the Bear Grass his
tory and science department until
an election can be effected. Offered
the position last week, a young South
Pnrolinn lady lenrne.l that her ered
its were not acceptable in this state
and the position went right on beg

in the school yesterday.
Just as the last position was filled,
rumors of resignations were being

Russian Campaign

Three Million Men
Preparation* Are Believed To
t'nderwuy for Shifting
Buttlefrout*
?
Believed to have decided to make
preparations for the winter in Rus
sia, German forces are apparently
digging in there to hold their gains
following the capture of Kiev, third
largest Russian city and capital of
the Ukraine. It is now predicted
that the fighting will be shifted to
other sections, possibly to the Medi
terranean area and on into Africa
during the winter. Hitler is sid to
have called on Mussolini for 500.000
Italians' to help hold the gains in
Russia while the German hordes are
moved to other battle fronts during
the winter. The plan is not very ac
ceptable to Mussolini, but some ar
rangements are in the making to
hold the gains in Russia until next
spring when the invasion will be
continued.
Supporting reports indicating a
shift in the war arena were claims
coming out of Russia late yesterday
telling of German reverses in the '
Leningrad section. There is was re
ported the German had been driven
back as much as six miles by Russian
counterattacks. Guerrilla warfare
is apparently proving effective be |
hind German lines all along the long
battlefront.
Preliminary reports from the Kiev
front tell of the great losses suffered
by the Germans in capturing the
cityl A quarter of a million German
soldiers were killed in the advance
and untold property losses were sus
tained.
Added pressure is being brought
upon Turkey, and her action is be
ing eagerly awaited. If German |
gains the Turks, a new threat to
the world is seen, for it will mark tin- i
beginning of a drive to the Suez and
eventually to Dakar, that point on

From Burning Home Friday
David Bennett Stallings and his
I sister, Mrs. Mary E. Lilley, aged ecu
I pie, barely escaped with their lives
' last Friday afternoon, when fire de
stroyed their home in Griffins Town
| ship. A victim of paralysis, Mrs.
i Lilley was unable to move, and Mr
Stallings was too weak to flee from
the building building Claude Peel
and J. Daniel, colored tenants living
on a near-by farm who happened
to be passing that way, saw the
smoke and rustled there. They car
ned Mrs. Lilley and Mr. Stallings
lout in their amis, the fire spreading
[so rapidly they could not get back
into the house to save a single ar
ticle. As she was being carried down
the front steps, Mrs. Lilley dropped
her pocketbook, and it was burned
along with a few paper dollars. Two
or three dollars in silver were re
covered.
Believed to have started from a
spark on the kitchen roof, the fire
had gained considerable headway
before it was discovered, and the oc
eupants did not know the house was
on tire until the colored tenants
rushed in,'according to reports reach- j
ing luTe.
Mr. and Mrs. Levi Edmondspn
made their home with the aged eou- '
pie, and Mrs. Kdmondson was cook
ing dinner when the fire started.
Mr. Edmondson was in the front part
of the six room house with Mr. Stal i
lings, but the tire and smoke bore i
down upon them so rapidly they
were unable to save anything One
report stated that the house was
burned to the ground in less than
15 minutes
The loss was estimated at $3,000,

Eighteen Are Jailed

In T wo Hours Here
List Saturday Night
l ow ii Authorities Determined
To Stamp Out I'uhlie
Drunkenness Here
Disturbed over tlie wild west j
scenes enacted by boisterous and
slobbering drunks the week before,
town authorities and local police 1
took a definite stand to wipe out pub- :
lie drunkenness on local streets last
Saturday. Ordered to patrol the
streets, two officers, John Roebuck
and J. II Allsbrooks started the j
round-up Saturday night at 101
o'clock. In less than two hours seven
drunks, four white and three colored I
men .were in the common jail, the j
officers receiving instructions to |
leave them there until they had re
gained their sobriety or until their
trials could be handled.
Showing every leniency possible in
time past, officers did not wait for
crime to take its course among the
drunks. Those wobbling on their
feet the least bit or Ijcard talking
boisterously, were nabbed by the of
ficers and placed in tin- "cooler." No
undue trouble like unto that report
ed a week before was experienced
here during the week-end, and it is
fairly certain that the general pub
lic will demand a continuation of the
officer patrol in tin- future.
During the first hour and a half of
the round-up, Tom I'eel, colored, Joe
James, colored, Dave Gardner, white
of Jamesville, Pete A. Cherry, white,
Russell Perry, white, Bill Raynor,
white and Cecil Pippen, colored, of
Bear Grass, were arrested and jailed.
Charged with public drunkenness,
they were tried by Mayor J. L. Mas
sed and taxed with the costs, averag
ing about $6.50 per defendant,
The round-up was completed Sun
day afternoon and evening when lo
cal officers jailed five more persons,
! Henry Speight, Ben Bennett, Bennie
1 Little, Eli Raynor and J. A. Ellis.
Little was charged with being drunk
and carrying a concealed weapon.
Supplementing tin- work of local
officers, Patrolman Whit Saunders
