OLDEST CITIZEN
OF TOWN DEAD
Miss Mary Eliza Harreil Died Wed
aeeday Morning; Was Over
M Years Old
Wednesday at eleven o'clock the
closing chapter in the life of one of
the most interesting and highly es
teemed characters Williarnston has
ever produced was written when Miss
Mary Elixa Harrel died at the age oi
ninety-three and a half years. A de
scendant of two of Eastern Carolina*
most prominent families, she was born.
October 18th, 1832, to Jobe and Nancy
Smithwick Harreil at the old Alls
brook homestead on the Hamilton
Koad and has since the age of Ave
years been a resident of Williarnston.
She was educated at the Williarnston
Academy, a private institution. Her
experiences during the Civil War wt-ro
varied and harrowing and during a
life of changes and progress Miss
Harreil remained one of the South'a
staunchest and most loyal defenders
of its cause. Her brother, Mr. Tom
liar: til, was an invalid for twoity
seven years, and during that lime his
sulci was his constant attends u and
/support. Her faithfulness to family
tin and devotion to loved ones wus
an sample for ->uif century to the
pvple of our town.
She began having trouble with her
eyes many years ago, but it was a
bout 1916 that her eyesight failed her
entirely. Her mental and physical a
daptability to her blind state. Two
years ago special services of the Meth
odist denomination were held in her
home where she was baptised in that
faith. She has been noted for her
keen interest in the welfare of all her
fellow citisens and her unbounded sym
pa thy for those in sorrow.
For several years she has made her
home with Miss Mittie Harreil, wt|>
with another piece, Mrs.L-li. Harrison,
and two nephews, Mr. Tom Harreil,
of tiokl Point, and Mr. Henry Harreil,
of Daytona, Fla., survive her.
The funeral services were conduct
ed yesterday afternoon by Kev. T. W.
Lee and Elder Sylvester Hassell, and
interment was in the family plot in
the Methodist cemetery. The large
number of friends present during her
illness and death attested to the wide
love and respect this noble and self
sacriflcing woman bore in her com
munity.
The pall bearers were: Messrs. C.
D. Carstarphen, K. B. Crawford, Mau
rise Moore, J. W. Watts, jr., John
Cook, and Dr. J. D. Biggs.

CAUSES OF LOCAL
RADIO TROUBLE
Report of Expert After Visit Here
Says Telephone and Light Plants
Catue Most of Trouble
We are printing in full the report
of the radio inspector as it relates to
the elimination of inductive interfer
ence to radio broadcast reception in
Williarnston. Mr. Swan, the inspector,
is from Norfolk, and is of the De
partment of Commerce, Navigation
Service. His inspection was secured
through the efforts of Congressman
Lindsay C. Warren, of Washington.
The report follows:
"Through the courtesy of Mr. F. L.
Edwards, of Williarnston, the inspector
was taken to that town (from Wash
ington) by automobile, arriving there
at 10.30 a. m., March 26th.
The principal inductive interferenoe
at Williarnston was traced to the lo
cal telephone exchange and found to
be caused by a faulty motor-driven
magneto ringer of an obsolete type.
Another potential source of interfer
ence was located at the Williarnston
power plant where it was found that
the commutator ripple of the station's
exciter wss finding its way out over
the city lines. A vacuum cleaner in
one complainant's residence was caus
ing interference. In each instance sug
gestions were given as to how to filter
out the radio frequency emissions. The
X-ray apparatus owned by Dr. H. B.
York, of Williarnston, contributed to
the hullabaloo, but this gentleman has
given assurance that his machine will
not be operated during broadcasting
hours in the evening. There is no
daylight reception of broadcast sta
tions at Williarnston at the present
time and, not unlike Washington in
this respect it will take considerable
tree trimming before all the sources
of inductive interference are elimi
nated.
Respectfully,
, JOHN W. SWANSON,
Radio Inspector.

WEEKLY SUNDAY
SCHOOL .LESSON
April 25.—" Tlm Story of Caia
and Abtl."-OeMtu 4:1-12.
By C. H. DICKKY
What a moment when a child is
born! Only God can tall what its end
shall be. d
Cain and Abel, born into the same
home, with the same environment and
surroundings; yet thair latter end is
as far apart as the distance from
pole to pole. It was the same with
the prodigal and his .brother. It is
true all about us today.
Cain came to be a farmer, while his
brother Abel was a shepherd. These
two occupations are as old as the race.
One is us good as the other in the '
sight of God. There was no particu
lar virtue in the one occupation more
than in the other.
When they went to worship, carry
ing their gifts, offerings or sacrifice,
Cain took products from his farm, a
very natural thing to de, and Abel
brought of his flock.
Now, both were doing the same
thing—offering to God a portion of
that which their labor ihad brought
them. They still seem to be on the
same footing.
But now we read that the Lord had
respect unto Abel and his offering, but
unto Cain and his offering He had no 1
respect.
They have come, thus quickly, to
the parting of the wtys. It is welt
to notice here the very wording God
not only had respect for the offering
which Abel brought, be'., He had W
spoct to Abel himself. And He not
only had not respect fo> what Cain
offered but had not fMpwet 'or Cain.
It would seem to bo perfectly ap
parent that the particulai kind of of
fering the two brothers made had noth
ing to do with it—there ww some
thing fundamentally deeper here at
which God was looking. Let us sue
if we can And what it was.
In Hebrews 11:4 we have this state
ment, "By faith Abel offeted unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he
was righteous.' Two things here, that
Abel was a man of faith; and when
we couple this to another Scripture
which says that without faith it is im
possible to please God we begin to
get a clue. In this offering Abel ob
tained witness that he was righteous.
Taking the alternative, it appears
that Cain neither was commended for
his faith nor obtained any witness that
he was righteous. And in Genesis 4:7
is the very strong implication that
sin was crouching at Cain'a door. \
Now, we begin to see what consti
tuted the difference: Abel himself was
righteous, and was a man of faith.
Cain was neither righteous nor faith
ful, and sin was at his door. This im
mediately made a great gulf between
the two brothers.
Eventually Cain rose up and Killed
his brother Abel. And after he hiid
done it asked God if he -were Ifls
brother's keeper?'
The world has been doing battle a
round this same question ever since.
The Bible teaches that we be breth
ren, that we are our brother's keep
er, that pur fellow men and women
are a matter of profound concern to
us.
Still we go on warring, killing with
deadly poison, machine guns, dig
Berthas; industrial heads go on pp
pressing men, women and children;
all because we do not admit any re
sponsibility for our brethren.
If God is our universal Father, then
it follows logically that we are breth
ren. And love should characterise
brethren, not hatred.
The world has never caught up with
the Bible. It is still thousands and
thousands of years ahead of us all.
But it is right.

to Address Baptists
Professor J. S. Seymour will occu
py the pulpit of the Memorial Bap
tist Church Sunday morning at the 11
o'clock hour.
The pastor of the church ia away,
attending the Baraca-Phiiathea meet
ing at Salisbury.
Professor Seymour is qualified to
speak with authority in the realm of
education, whether it pertain to school
work or in the field of religious edu
cation. •
What he says will be well thought
out and will have merit
with cowers and shrubs. In every
case the results hsve been gratify
ing both to the property owners
and the passers-by.
The members of the Womsn's
Club hoped thst nstural civic
pride would assist them in their
efforts to clean the town, and that
we would need no legal presHure
to get the sanitsry snd attractive
results desired, but it present
very few individuals are showing

ANOTHER POULTRY
SHIPMENT PLANNED
; Cir Shipped Last Week Contained Al
most 5,000 Pound* Which Sold for
$1,184.03; Mostly Old Hen*.
i County Agent T. B. Brandon in
i formed ua that the car of chicken*
, leaving Willianuton last week, con-
I taining 4,974 pounds of meat, netted
the people of Martin County f 1,184.03.
Approximately 4,000 pounds of poul
try were old hens, and geeee, turkeys,
: and roosters completed the toi*l. "
There were only four cratea of youn>{
. chickens shipped. Mr. Brandon says
there will be another car within 15
or 30 days, and he hopes that the poo
, pie will avail themselves of the op
; portunity to sell their next lot at good
prices, and at home.
The poultry was bought by the Kis
ser-Rabinowitz Co., of Philadelphia.
: They are owners of 1,200 poultry cars
, and have at least 800 men on the road
, the year around Ailing and bringing
, in these cars, as was done here last
[ week.
r' The week of April 1 they purchased
16 carloads of poultry in North Car
olina alone, and 9 cars in South Car
; olina. The week preceding Eastet
t North Carolina sold $300,000 woit.h
of poultry to these people alone.
b The people of our county are wak
ing to the fact that there is tnoro
- real money in the poultry business
- than in the so-called "money crops,"
t and we predict that Martin will ship
more chickens in the next two yean
- than she has sold altogether before
t in her history.
