THIRD COMMENCEMENT
OF COUNTY'S SCHOOLS
HELD LAST SATURDAY
Williams ton School Won
First Honors Among
Group I Schools
The third annual commencement of
Martin County school was held in Rob
ersonville Saturday, and was easily
the most successful one yet staged.
It is efltimated that the exercises and
contests were attended by nearly 2,000
Robersonvilie knows how to enter
tain. For hours before the appointed
time can poured into Robersonvilie,
and those coming over ribbons of con
crete met baners suspended across the
road reading "Welcome Martin Coun
ty Schools." Everybody found this the
spirit of the occasion before the last
curtain was drawn and the third an
nual county commencement became
history. Some one should inform the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction what he missed by having to
decline the invitation to be present,
for the parent-teacher association, the
chamber of commerce, and other or
ganizations under Chairman Mason
provided a feast for gods and had
special provisions for the invited
guests.
The final score of Group I schools
placed Williamston several points a
head, she making 18 points, followed
next by Robersonville, which made 8
,and Everetts, 7.
Williamston has not won in honors
in the athletic contests this year, and
it is very pleasing to local people
that she attained such a high stand
ing at the county commencement.
Gold Point took first place among
Group II schools, with Sandy Ridge
and Parmele close seconds and thiida,
the scores being 13, 11, and 10 points,
respectively. .
In Group 111 Hurst led with 11
points, while Roanoke made 10 am 4
Smithwick 8.
There were away very creditable
exhibitions of the work being done by
the schools over the county, and t %
teachers wees eery proud of the fine
behavior of the children on this occa
sion.

IMPRISONED FOR
AIDING ORPHANS
British Prime Minister's Son Suffers
Long Imprisonment by Soviet for
Aiding Near East Relief Work
The story of hardships and languish
ing in a dingy prison in Russian tQr
menia has jast been told first hantf
by Oliver Baldwin, son of the British
Prime Minister. Mr. Baldwin went to
Armenia in 1920 where he was en
gaged in assisting the Americans in
the Near East Relief work. Shortly
after his arrival a Soviet revolution
threatened to wipe out the huge or
phanage work of the Near East Relief.
Only a week later he was arrested,
the charge being that he had criticised
the new government for seizing milk
sent by Americans to the starving ref
ugee children.
For many weeks in spite of the ef
forts of American relief officials, Mr.
Baldwin endured the cold, hunger,
filth and unspeakable cruelty of So
viet guards. Then the flagging spir
its of the peasants revived, and the
Soviet government toppled. Baldwin
was adised by the Americans that
this uprising would be short lived, and
he left promptly, intending to make
his way across Turkey to Central Eu
rope. The Turks objected, however,
and again he went to prison, there to
languish for several months before
his release was finally obtaineu.
"This story," said J. B. Ivey, State
chairman of the Near East Relief, "is
one of the most striking that has com-?
from the overseas bureau. It brings
to mind the sacrifice* of the men and
women who are devoting their lives
for the sake of those little down-trod
den children In whose veins run the
blood of the oldest Christian believ
ers. During the past six years at.
least six splendid Christian leaders
have given their lives in ministering
to the children in the care of the Near
East Relief. And while this has been
going on, the people at home have
been responding to their calls by giv
ing funds for the support of their
work.
"And it is not ended yet, for there
is still an imperative need for sup
port. There are today 86,000 children
who must be fed a little longer. We
can not turn these babes out to starve
after rescuing them from a crowd of
maddened soldiers.'
Mr. Ivey stated that June 30 marks
the end of the present fiscal year and
that the amount asked for from North
Carolina had not, as yet, been sub
scribed.
It only requires S6O for the support
of one orphan for a year, and (6 for
one month. Persons who wish to aid
these unfortunate children can mail
their contributions to John M. Scott,

English Church Orders
Women to Quit Powder
_____ #
London, April 23.—One of the lead
ing churches in Hull has taken steps
against women who powder their
noses during rtligious services.
"People keep telling me,' writes tho
vicar in the parish magazine, "that
the most solemn momenta in our wor
ship are often spoiled for them by
oome who powder their rvose in a most
ostentatious way. One can sympa
thize with many people wishing to
disguise themselves, but they should
not choose such inappropriate timej
for their renovation."
From Sea to Mountains and
Back Again; Thousand-Mile
Trip Over North Carolina
"Wildacres" is the name given the
home of the newly organised Mount
Mitchell Association of Arts and
Sciences, Dr. Thomas Dixon's new
venture to establish a colony combin
ing both pleasure and usefulness.
When one views the ground he ie
satisfied that the name is appropriate,
because eyery acre is truly wild.
Mr. N. C. Hines, a Martin County
man, who has made his home in Ra
leigh for several years, is general
sales agent He has established Bales
offices in most of the larger towns in
the State. Mr. Clyde King is in charge
of the one at Greenville, and Mr. R.
A. Lindsey at Tarboro; Murray at
Rocky Mount; MiBS Carter, and Mrs.
Marie Carter, of Washington, and
Mrs. H. M. Stubbs, of Williamston,
are sales agents.
Mr. Hines, through his organized
sales force, is now taking prospective
buyers from all sections of the State
to view this beautiful "Skyland."
The first trip from this section was
made last week. A 15-passenger bus,
which almost equals a palace car, ths
body of which is a North Carolina
product, being made in Greensboro,
was used to carry the visitors.
Personnel of Party
The party who made the first trip
included Mrs. J. B. H. Knight, Mrs.
W. H. Booker, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Manning, and Harry A. Biggs, of
Williamston; Mias Carter, Mrs. Marie
Carter, of Washington; Miss Lavender
of Lake Landing; Misses Staton, Leg
gett and Bunn, of Tarboro; Mr. and
Mrs. Brake, Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Baine,
and Mr. Burnett, of Rocky Mount; aitti
Mrs. Josey, of Scotland Neck.
The Wildacres Company not only
furnishes good busses but the best of
drivers and courteous conductors. Mr.
Austin, who has driven for 10.years
on the mountain roads, took care of
the bus, and Mr. Player looked after
the party.
The first thing was to get acquaiiK
ed, which ot course was quickly done.
And, quite naturally, we were delayed
some in starting, for the same old
cause, "waiting for a woman"; but af
tor getting started the schedule was
almost perfect.

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Watts, Mrs.
Henry Crawford, Mrs. J. W. Andrews,
and Mrs. W H. Watts attended the
funeral of Mrs Mary Flannigan in
Greenville Monday afternoon.
These trips are intended for no pur
pose but to sell land, and are run at
I only a nominal charge, not enough to
1 cover half the expense, yet the pros
pectors have the opportunity to see
much of the beauty of the State.
As the most prosperous communi
ties after passing from our own east
ern counties, on the west of the Coast
Line we began with Nash County,
which easily ranks among the leading
agricultural counties of the State;
then comes Franklin, Granville, Dur
ham, Orange, Alamance, Guilford,
Davidson, Rowan, Iredell, Alexander,
Caldwell, Burke, McDowell, Yancey,
and Buncombe; Catawba and Wake
were added on the return trip, when
route 10 was followed from Ashevillo
to Raleigh.
How Doea the West Live?
The man from the east is always
I puzzled to know how the fellow in
the west lives at all, and when he
' sees the mountaineer living better
II than he is, then he wonders how it is
done. The easterner sees the large
level fields with a variety of crops,
such as cotton, corn, tobacco, and pea
nuts, and goes to the mountain coifh
try where corn stalks are about the
size of pipe stems, no cotton, no to
bacco, no peanuts, and only u bit of
oats and wheat. Of course, he does
not understand. Yet he should un :
derstand —There stands the cow tied
to a stake; she furnishes a third of
family's food; the chickens bring in a
good proportion; add them to the ele
, gant fruit found on every farm and
the few bushels of \yheat grown and
they will feed the folks better than
we are fed—and nothing bought yat!
Then, too, the country there ia ao
healthy that the girls do not have to
bay their complexions, which is an
other great saving over the eastern
section.
Another thing the west beats us at
ia in the handling of its timber. We
have sold our trees for a song, and
they have been carried away to be
I manufactured. Those people have
manufactured their own timber and
i gotten a hundred dellars for no bet
ter trees than we «olyt Mr a dime.

profit—our towns get their incomes
I from agricultural products, which do
not hear a profit.

Reaching Marion, we leave the Ash

j The last few miles of the trip is,

STATE CONVENTION
ONLY FEW DAYS OFF
V\ ill He Held at Uiileigh -Thursday;
. Reynolds Campaign Making
Much I'rogrei**
(Independent News Bureau, Kaleigh)
Raleigh, April 26.—With the State
Democratic Convention only U few
days away, the political atmosphere
is distinctly more intense, in Raleigh.
The convention makes no nominations
but it is a gathering of the "faithful,
ami their coming always awakens in
terest. Quite a number of leading cit
iitns from a number of counties have
been in town during the past few days
and the unanimous opinion is tha.t
Reynolds is making a canvass that
counts. Even those who are pledged
to vote for the present incumbent—
Lee S. Overman—acknowledge that
Reynolds has been making much
progress. Of course, these same in
dividuals insist that they are getting
ready to stop the Reynolds procession,
but so far they have not beeiv able 4 o
do much.
One (if the state officials said ru
cently that Reynolds hail certainly I i*
the popular mind and made a distinct
impression. Everywhere "Bob" !?:>"*
lit finds the ready ear anitjopjm in -Ml
of the people. It may he that th»
"Old Guard" in determined, to keep
Reynolds from the senatorial chau —
hut the people do the voting, saia a
leader in one of the eastern counties.
Reynolds will be in Kaleigh this
'week—ready to meet friend or oppose!
right.on the central ground. His
friends will be at the convention—
many of them.
"After all is said," remarked one of
the Mecklenburg County visitors to
Raleigh, "Why would it not be a good
idea to nominate Reynolds? Ho is
ei|ual to the task; he is in the prime
of lite; he is a man of convictions anJ
a hard fighter. Many of the Mecklen
burg voters think it is a good time io
se id a new man to the United Sta f et
Senate."'
A prominent labor leader says that
• Reynolds is "just the sort of man that
the people delight to honor." A wo
man, beginning to think seriously of
politics, remarked Saturday that she
thought the women of the State .should
give Reynolds a solid vote —maybe
they will not make it "solid" but judg
1 ing jjt>m all reports, Reynolds will qM
a good vote among the women, es
i pecialty those who remember their
1 lard-fought battle for the suffrage.

TOBACCO GROWERS
FACED BY CRISIS
Denization Committee Urges Tobac
co farmers to Meet Desperate
Situation; Called to Danville
Uright tobacco farmers in Virginia
unci North Carolina are called to as
semble in Danville on Monday, May
10, to meet, a crisis which threatens
ihe welfare of all tobacco farms ami
• very line of business in the old bright ,
tobacco belt.
The call was issued by the organiza
tion- committee of tobacco planters
whom the old belt growers have in
trusted with the task of gaining a suf
ficient membership of farmers in a
new association to warrant the con
tinuation of cooperative marketing.
Thv committee, which has been de
-prive of thf iwrviees-of the field forces
of the tri-State association, wnicn
this month released several hundrej
employees in its leaf, warehouse aii'l
field service departments for the sake
of economy, is now putting the task
of a new sign-up of tobacco squarely
up to the tobacco planters themselves.
Extremely low prices and disaster
for tobacco farmers and many lines
of business or the continuation of co
operative marketing by means of a
new association is the alterantive
which faces the old tobacco belt, ac
cording t> the statement of the 01
ionization committee for the new as
sociation of old belt growers which
met in Kaleigh on April 24, and unan
imously passed resolutions calling on
the general public and the farmers to
prevent the worst financial calamity
suffered by the tobacco country in a
generation.
The committee points out in its
statement that low-priced tobacco is
no longer a threat but 4 reality, cit
ing the fact that the entire March
sales of bright tobacco in Virginia
during March averaged less than 8
cents a pound on the auction floors,
a price which was less than the aver
age first cash advance paid to old belt
members of the triState association
.throughout the season.
Aaron Kapirti, of California, looked
upon as the foremost cooperative lead -
er of America, is expected to be pres
ent at the mass meeting in l>anviH>
on May 10, at which the growers will
decide whether to abandon cooperative
marketing in the face of the present
low prices for tobacco or continue
price protetetion for another five yeuis
The call to the public and the to
bacco farmers and the resolution set
ting forth the present crisis of the
tobacco industry was unanimously a
dopted by the members of the old
bright belt organization committee
last Friday.
Farmers & Merchants
Uank Is 21 Years Old
The Farmers & Merchants Hank is
approaching its twenty-first birthday,
the average age of maturity. On the
first day of June it will have attained
that age, and to have done so it has
weathered many a storm. Of course,
this institution had a healthy infancy
and was prepared to face the depres
sion following the inflation during and
immediately after the World War. But
it was tried and found true and H»v
is stronger'than ever.
It is of no use to pretend that tly
I peopie'n I'uttii HI-banks nhak -
en when so many closed their doors
with their customers' hard-earned
money inside, but those institutions
that have passed through the peril
ous times atid are showing real signs
of prosperity as the Farmers & Mer
chants and others of Martin County
are receiving the trust of our people.
The more patronage they receive th.>
more they help the people. Many and
many 'are the times a bank or a bank
ttr is "cussed"- because he demands
j ample security, but that is what they
are all doing, and if helps not only
the but the borrower even
more. ' r
"Uncle Fred" Enjoyed
By Oowded House
"Uncle Fred,' the play presented by
the senior class and a few friends last
Friday night was thoroughly enjoy
able. To single out any of the cast
would probably be unfair, because
they were all very good. For young
people their voices carried exception
ally well, and the characters being
suited to the personalities of the par
ticipants theykeptthe crowded audi
ence amused all Xhe time.
The stage was very attractively
decorated, and enhanced the beauty of
the young maids in their respective
parts.
The senior class and the other mem
bers of the cast-are to be congratulat
ed upon their efforts for their alma
mater, the Williamston High School,
for so it is of all those who staged
"Uncle Fred."
It is a good time to eat eggs while
the price is low and the eggs are plen
