ADVERTISERS WILL FIND OUR COLUMNS A LATCHKEY TO 1500 HOMES OF MARTIN COUNTY VOLUME XXV—NUMBER 13 MAYOR HASSELL SENDS CASE TO RECORDERS COURT The Mayor's court was sought last I night by Mozella Gray, a teacher in the colored graded school to avenge the wrongful aaaault upon her by Hannah Stokes. \ The foundation of the trouble was a bad boy, the son o| the stokes woman who was in classes of the teacher,; Gray, and she, in her wisdom 1 thought he needed punishment. She whipped him, the end of the whip in some way hitting the boy in the face, | ' * making a small bruise. The boy ran home and painted the story up, his mother flew into a rage and proceed ed to the school house. She promptly inquired for "Miss Gray" and when she was pointed out, she proceeded to thrash her, inflicting a considerable bruise on her face. The Mayor found the case to exceed | his jurisdiction and bound the de-! fendant, Hanah Stokes, over to the Recorders Court, Tuesday April Ist. | QUEEN CONTEST VOtING GETTING VERY ACTIVE Miss White Leading In Race QUEVN CONTEST VOTING BECOMING VERY ACTIVE' The voting in the beauty contest for | a Queen to represent Williamston at: the East Carolina Exposition to be, held in Kinston April 7 to 12 is bet- ] ting active., The contest is open to all the single girls in the township and j every person in the township is en-1 'titled to one vote. _ There seems to be much interest in I the affair today for the first time and tomorrow and Monday promise two days of real excitement for the friends of the young ladies.

SUGGESTIONS TO REMEDY BUGS OR WEEVILS AND GRUBS IN BRIGHT TOBACCO The menace from this cause has become so serjous- that it has been to the attention of the To bacco Association, hence the follow ing suggestions are submitted for the earnest cojqsideration of the interests In bright toMicco: 1. Clean up every particle of trash tobacco and dust on the premises, in cluding a thorough cleaning out of every drying and ordering machine and brush off all the anbles and crevices. 2. In close warehouses and rehandl ing plants, in addition to thoroughly cleaning it, leave the doors and win dows open in very cold spells, as cold and sunlight are very destructive to these nests. 8. Where redrying plants or ware house# can be closed up, smoking with ■ulphur is most earnestly advised, and also put fly-paper oil around every Hght and renew every few weeks af ter it dries up. Stand basins of water at the bottom of every window and spray with water paint all the inside of the house. Sprinkling salt on the floor has also Men used effectively. 4. See that every tobacco house in * the place is so treated, as the whole object may be defeated by one house not cleaning 'up, as this insect at one t stage has wings and can fly from one place to another. 6. All refuse tobacco and dust should be burned. As these bugs, or weevils often start in new tobacco tn the warm months, especially in the southern districts, the farmers could render the greatest service by carrying out the same work in their curing and packing houses.

WEBB ] DIES SUDDENLY Served in the Civil War, 1 Active in all Forward ; Principles 11 . i- 1 Mr. B. D. Webb, who has been so I ' well and favqmbly known in our 1 town for a number of years, passed awav at the home of his daughter, j' Mrs. B. S. Courtney Wednesday night. Mr. Webb had spent most of the day around the Courtney furniture store ( and about the streets meeting ani greeting friend.-., home in the ] early afternoon as was his custom, and went to the lot to feed and care | for the chickens, where he was taken , with an attack of indigestion, hut ( from which he soon recovered. After returning to the house he bad (another i attack and the doctor was called. He, at his bedtime, appeared to get much ' better and was thought to have been , getting along nicely. A few minutes later about It) o'clock his daughter went to give him his medicine and found him dead. He was talking to ■ members of the family ten minutes | before his death and at that time , the end was not expected. I The doctor gives the cause of his . death as heart failure brought aliout 1 by attacks of indigestion. 1 Mr. Webb was 78 years old and served in the Civil War in the 3rd : N. C. Calvary. In his death the grey I lines of the world famous Army ! 'trows dimer. The members of that I group having one b> one been dis- . i charged from the army of trouble some wars to join that celestial army, I which is lead ami inspired by th. 1 songs of Angels. Soon after the war he married Mis* i Maria Allen, who 'passed to hee~«w'j ward 33 years ago. To this union was !>orn seven children, five tf whom now . survive. They are: It. S. Webb, of Koanoke Rapids; J. Mcßryde Webb of Norfolk; Mrs. B. S. Courtney of this place; Mrs. H. B. Jones of Winton, N. C.; and Charles A. W ebb of Roanoke Rapids. j He never gave up Scotland Neck as his home in name, tkough he mostly lived here with his daughter, Mrs. B. S. Courtney and Mr. Courtney, visit- J ing and spending much time with his other chddren, however. As a citizen no better could be found, always cheerful and kind. He was unusually active in church life, having been a member of the Haptist church for many years. His body was placed to rest at Scotland Neck, yesterday afternoon by ! the side of his wife. The funeral was held by Dr. R. Vann, | of Raleigh, who was for many years j his pastor, assisted by Dr. Charles An j derson of Scotland Neck Baptist churCh, and R. L Shirley of William -1 ston Memorial Haptist church. 'SERVICES AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday school 9:30 a. m. Morning worship 11:00 a. m. B. Y. P. U. 6:30 p. m. Evening service 7:30 p. m.

Slowly she faded day by day, her steps grew feebler in our hall and fainter at each even fall. Her low voice died away; yet on her sweet pale lips the while sat resignation's holy smile. Calm as as child to slum ber soothed as if an angel's hand had smoothed. The still, white features in to rest silent and cold, without a breath to stir the drapery on her breast, she slep at last in death. Written by her neice, EARLE HALL, It Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McNair and Mr. J. B. McNair of Plymouth were in town this morning shopping. Mrs. W. H. Russ and Mrs. J. D. Paul of Washington were here yester day. DR. E. J. GRIFFIN, . A CANDIDATE i The following is taken from the Edenton News. A very flattering comment was made b\ a citizen Saturday, just as soon , as he heard that Dr. Griffin had an- | nounced himself as candidate for Con- j gress in the First District, and the spokesman was not given to hurried cemplimei.ts—he always weighs his v ords and comes close t, an ex.let an alysis of important po ••'ons i;: the community. This- i. wha* he s.ii.v "Dr. Griffin may -■>( i e as clcouen* £: some of "is opow-i », :n v per haps is not as well versed in political wiles as some, bet 1 would vouch '"••r him doinir the ri-- K t a'vi honest thu>:':. that he Would serve his distriefThoi oughly, with single mind and earnest endeavor, awl t*vj.- probably accom plish more in hi? juiet way than mui.y a grandstand pi a' er who wishes to iiluiv.iue himself iwfore his constitu ents or hve so:-v? axe to irrind of which we k*?ow not of." Those that |-■■•>".■ Dr. Griffin well are enthusvi tic over his loyalty. There is no b -tter friend' fhan he. and his service has hce i usually done un -o.tentatioiih ,i that his (food works have invariab'v t«-«-n hid from public sraie. Still he ha- stood four-square for progress of both people and dis trict, as can be witnessed by his earn est and careful -ervice in the State As sembly. His ever realty aid in promo*in r his town and co ;,.tv. with open pocket h;H»k whenever called upon and more than all el e a willingness to give |>er sonal service is a good omen of what he would be willing to do for the dis trict should he be fortunately chosen t« represent 't in Congress, i We believe Dr. Criffin is thoroughly LccUJUfst in his desire to serve his peo ple and that he will make it his life's work t'» tdttain for all the district such recognition as it is justly en t tied to receive. He may not make prolific speeches, well turned in |ihrase, r.or may we see his "con tinued" remarks in the Congressional l | Record, but what he will do is to weigh with earnest care all ;:uch thing* u will make for the pe-ice, prosperity and happiness of his peo 1 Ile and in his i|uiet way accompli*!, 'rntold good. If the |ienple of the first district v. ill throw aside the glamor of, public i. lterances ami look into the inten tions of the men now offering thenf reives for this preferment it mav 'ie fouml that the |uiet, unobstructive i octor stands head and shoulders ovei hi? fellows in real earnest intentio i I.nd with a liberal allotment of cooi nwn sense that goes further than ' I lomi-es and is a better asset for the ordinary people to bank u|win than I'loificd apostrophe or paraphrase.
