Highest Ever Sold
On Wednesday, there was the
most phenomnal sale of tobacco in
regard to prices, which was ever
seen ou the Williamston market.
The election of Woodrow Wilson
bad given strength and tone to the
market, selling the product of the
farmers and not that of the trust.
The sale was made in the Dixie
c
Warehouse, and 20,000 lbs. were
offered and eagerly taken at the
highest prices ever given here.
Truly it was a "Woodrow Wilson
Tobacco Sale." *

Hallowe'en Party
One of the most delightful social
affairs since the beginning of Au
tumn here, was tbe Hallowe'en
party gi"en by Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Jerome complimentary tothe Senior
Class of the High School at the
home of Rev. Rufus Bradley, Fri
day evening, November Ist.
The rooms were appropriately
decorated with Autumn leaves
black cats and witches in profus
ion, carrying out the color scheme
of orange and black Jack o'lantems
lent a weirdness to the whole, sug
gestive of the season and the storfes
connected with it.
The first amusement provided by!
the entertainers, was a Hiilowe'en
contest in which Miss Frances
Knight won the first prize, a hand
some box of paper. Apples 011 a
string, easily eluding any who
tried to get a bite, furnished great
amusement. Miss Mary Brown
and F. M. Shute finished first in
this contest.
The guests were Invited into the
dining room, alter all the games
had been finished, where ambrosia
artistically arranged iu oranges cut
to represent pumpkins, was served
with cakes and fruit. There was
much fun enjoyed iu choosing part
ners for supper. Each young lady
was given a broken heart, prettily
cut and decorated, and the other
piece held by a young man, decid
ed the question of who shonld be
partnera.
Those present were: Misses Myr
tle Woolard, Laurie Ellison, Jose
phine Robertson, Ellie and Maud
Wynne, Lucy Green, Frances 1
Knight, Sue Leggett, Eva Petl,
Jessie and Mary Brown, Eloise

Everything went Demo
cratic
From the best estimates that can
be obtained prior to the official
count, North Carolina has retained
her place in the Democratic column
by 50,000 majority. Locke Craig
and the entire State ticket are
victors iu this splendid fight. Every
District sends back its Democratic
Congressman. Johu H. Small iu
tbe First District runs away with
his opponent, M. D. Liggett, of
Beaufort County.
The Legislature will be largely
Democratic, and thus the re election
of Senator Simmons is assured as
he won out in the paitnary over
Kitchin and Clnrk by 25,000
majority.
The great victoty in the Nation
with that iu County and State
makes a complete Democratic '
boiuehold. Martin County accord
in" to the table shown, voted as it 1
should, though there was a falling
off in both Democratic and Repub
lican ranks. The Democratic vote
in both State and Nation was so
large that people quit counting and
just heralded the success of the
party.
Sad Accident
On Thursday of last week, dur
ing the exhibition of Sparks show
at Robersonville, a negro from
Stokes becoming angry with ano
ther negro, threw a bottle at him.
The negro dodged and tbe bottle
struck the little son of Mr. Henry
Whichard, who lives near Parmele,
crushing his skull. As soon as the!
negro saw what he had done, he
proceeded to attempt leg bail, but
the show management put their
men after him and he was captured.
He was brough* here and placed ic
jail tr. await the injuries to the
little boy. The doctors were never
hopeful and Friday he died from
the effects of the blow. The negro
I was taken to Robersonville and had
a hearing before a Justice of the
Peace, who placed him under a
$5,000 bond. Failing to secure
this he was brought back and put '
iu jail to await the action of the
Grand Jury at the December Term
of court.

Martin County showed by its 1
vote in the Senatorial contest that 1
the progressive spirit of Democracy r
is in the ascendency in the hearts I
of our people. t
sr.oo a Year in Advance
Hon. H. $. Ward
Those who heard the speech of
Hon. H. S. Ward in the interest of
the candidacy of Judge Clark here
on Monday night, were unanimous
iu the opinion that it was the beat
and strongest speech delivered here
in a long time. Mr .Ward's earnest
manner combined with logical de
ductions, made the friends of Clark
f' el that he had a worthy advocate
and those who differed with him
thoroughly enjoyed every word he
said. Mr. Ward is well-known in
Martin County as a sound Demo
crat and one who neveT tails to lift
his voice in advocacy of Democra
tic principles. He is one of the
strong young tnen of the State.
His career since its beginning has
been upward, and his campaign
for Judge Clark a splendid display
of ripe knowledge and a firm con
viction of the righteousness of the
cause lie represented. He was
given the strictest attention here
and warm applause by the friends
of the other cuuoidates. He was
introduced by Hon H. W. Stubbs,
Chairman of tbe County Executive
Committee.
Tobacco Farmers Happy
The acreage in tobacco in Mar
tin Couutyihis year was larger
tha.i for tbe past three seasons.
The weed trew with a rapidity that
plea.sed, but it was thought at one
time that the crop would be of poor
quality. But after being cured
and properly handled, it was placed
on the warehouse floors for the in
spection of the buyers and brought
price? before unheard of. People
realized more on three acres of
ijood weed than thev sold five-acre
crops for before. This was done
in all these Eastern markets, for in
this section only has the crop
amounted to much.
Another year will soon be on us,
and the preparation for the coming
crop will begin. It will pay to put
in a reasonable acreage in tobacco
for the next year. Diversity your
crop, Mr. Framer. Plant and plant
early, and give verV best service to
jeveryacreof land under cultiva
tion. Raise home supplies, and
tobacco, peanuts and a little cotton
for money crops. The market here
is as good as can be found for aU
these products.
