Propose Suspension
Of Allotments For
Peanuts Next Year
(Continued from page one)
of the crop for seven cents or more
and a comparatively small portion
for three and one-half cents plus a
small premium, some farmers talked
about revolting. "The government
shan't get a one of my peanuts at
that price." one farmer was quoted
as saying. The complaints were many
and they were heard in Washing
ton.
Plans for throwing the crop into
the open market were considered,
but it was seen that the heavy oil
plantings in many states would beat
the price down, and the department
urged the continuance of the pro
gram.
The program is expected to hold
for the remainder of the season, but
its future is uncertain Numbers of
farmers in the old peanut belts have
sworn that they'll not plant a single
peanut for oil next year. And that's
where the trouble lies just now. If
farmers in the old belts do not want
to help produce oil peanuts for the
war program, there is little else to
do but withdraw the quotas and
throw the crop on the open market.
A breakdown in the price will, it is
believed, prove more costly than the
price differential now in effect
Just how the problem can be solv
ed is not known definitely It is be
lieved, however, that politicians in
Washington can do little, that it is
squarely up to the farmers in the
regular peanut beh to step in and
take action.
Congressman Herbert Bonner ad
vises that a conference had been held
in an effort to solve the problem and
save the quotas, but the accomplish
ments of that meeting, if any, have
not been announced.

WASHINGTON ST. WILLIAMSTON, N. C.
System All Muddled
And Truck Traffic
Continues Uncertain
(Continued from page one)
erators are demanding hundreds of
gallons of gasoline for the month of
December.
The big threat to the transport
mileage ration system is resulting
from delay on some one's part, pos
sibly that of the trucker himself.
Their "S" books have expired and
comparatively few truckers have ap
plied for "T" books, meaning that no
gas will be made available in those
cases until rations are declared and
granted under the new system
Most of the cursing and howling
are the result of variations in the al
lotments. Not so many are complain
ing about their individual allotments
as they are about what the "neigh
bor" got. It is apparent that there are
sweeping inequalities, that the Office
of Pefense Transportation in De
troit failed to measure up to or pros
ecute the allotment task with any
great degree of success. It is quite
possible that many truckers who had
their allotments slashed "to the
bone" could get along by hauling
fertilizer and produce to market with
team. A few have admitted they
could and were willing to do just
that, but the "neighbor" got 14,000
miles, "and if he can ride all over
hell and back, I want to be able to
do the same thing".
That's the way the truckers are
talking, but in some cases there are
truckers who are taking their re
ductions without complaining. Some
few have been and are being forced
to give up the idea of farming for a
profit, and even though they are not
bellyaching they do say that it is
hard to understand why some can get
liberal allotments, continue to make
money, and carry on as if there was
no war and no need to conserve gas
and tires.
The transport mileage system is
out of the hands of the Martin Coun
ty Rationing Board. They can't is
sue "T" book allotments in excess of
the quotas allowed by Detroit.
That something will have to be
done about the system and that
something will be done to correct,
gross inequalities can be expected.
For the present, truckers and others
are urged to be patient. During the
meantime, they might remember
that a war of life and death is still
going on, and that business and per
sonal interests will, in all probabili
ty, have to be sacrificed. *
Prominent Everetts
Resident Passes At
Ilis Home Yesterday

When a young man he was mar
ried to Miss Minnie Bailey who sur
vives with three children, "George
Taylor, Jr , and Miss Anna Louise
Taylor and Darrell Taylor, all of
Everetts. His sun, just recently in
ducted into the Army, was to re
port for active duty, but the sudden
death of his father postponed the
trip. He is also survived by three
brothers, Messrs. Will and Edward
Taylor, of Williamston, and Dennis
Taylor, of Coco, Florida, and two
sisters, Mrs. IxRoy Taylor, of Wil
liamston and Mrs. Dillon Peel, of
Everetts. Devoted to his home, Mr.
Taylor cherished the atmosphere of
his family circle, and enjoyed the
friendship of many throughout his
native and adopted communities.
His character was marked for its
sincerity, and accommodating acts
were willingly done by him for his
fellowman.
Funeral services are being con
ducted at the home this afternoon
at 4 o'clock by Elder B. S. Cowin.
Interment will follow in the Rober
sonville Cemetery.
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Motorists on Martin County
highways slipped another acci
dent into the column last week
to boost the total to 60 to date.
Reports claim that traffic on the
roads has been decreased fifty
per cent, but the number of ac
cidents and the number of deaths
have been decreased just one
third. It is apparent that motor
ists are more considerate of
property, however, the figures
showing that damage has been
cut by two-thirds.

Regular Two-Weeks
Term Of Court Has
Many Interruptions
Tribunal Will End Its Second
Recess of Term Here
Thursday Morning
Scheduled to last for two weeks,
the special term of the Martin Coun
ty Superior Court will possibly hold
forth on six or seven of the ten days
despite the regular Thanksgiving
holiday and a second interruption to
day. Judge R. D. Dixon, presiding
over the term, was called to Wilm
ington late Monday to appear as a
witness in a case in the courts there.
He is expected to return and recon
vene the court Thursday morning.
So far the term has been an un
eventful one. Few people have at
tended the session, and the cases
have had little importance attach
ed to them.
Proceedings not previously re
ported:
In the case of D. M. Roberson
against Chas. H. Jenkins and Com
pany, the plaintiff was declared the
owner of a truck valued at $350.
The fast aging case of S. E. Close
against Goldie Hyman has at long
last been cleared from the docket,
the plaintiff receiving a judgment in
the sum of $50.
The cases of Mrs. Ada Haislip and
Johnnie Mobley against Corbitt
Swain were settled by agreement.
While the plaintiffs received some
consideration, no amounts were made
public. The cases developed follow
ing an automobile accident in Cross
Roads Township nearly a year ago.
A greater part of Monday was de
voted to the trial of the case of A. L.
Mizelle against C. G. Rogerson and
others. The plaintiff was appealing
to the court to have a deed set aside.
It is understood that a new deed is
.to be prepared, but no formal judg
ment has been prepared in the case.
Based on two years of separation,
a divorce was granted Mary Jane
Carson in her case against King Da
vid Carson. The divorce was the
ninth one granted by the court so
far this term.
