L. Bennett Peel
Dies in Garden
Dies of Heart Failure
While Cultivating
House Garden
Tuesday afternoon friends were called
by the farm bell to the cry of distress
of a lovi.ig wife who had found her
husband dead in the garden and while
she was all alone. Just before the ap
proaching storm that aftemoon Mr.
Lawrence Bennett Peel went to hi;;
garden and as he did not return at
once his wife went to look for him.
Calling and receiving no answer, she
hurried on and found him lying life
less, having fallen face downward to
the ground. Neighbors soon reached
the home and carried the body from
out of the storm. Death probably
came from heart failure as he had
suffered -with heart trouble for som-»
time.
Mr. Peel was 72 years and one day
old and for the past several years he
had been in feeble health.
He was the youngest child of the
late Noah Peel and Sallie Koberson
Peel, of Griffins township, his mother
dying during his infancy. He is sur
vived by his wife, who was Miss
Mr.ttie Woolard before their marriage
many years ago, and by five half
brothers, Messrs. Sylvester, Plenny,
Alex and Ephriam Peel of this coun
ty and Mack G. Peel of Beaufort
county. Besides these, he leaves seven
grandchildren and six great-grand
children. The grandchildren, the dau
ghters of his only child, Mrs.
Koberson who died years ago, are
Mrs. Frank Lilley, Mrs. Redding
Leggett, Mrs. T. B. Patterson and
Misses Carrie, Laura Hoyt, Alice and
Mattie Lou Roberson.
Early in life, the deceased became
a member of the Primitive Baptist
church at Smitliwick's Creek, but
later jolnod the Christian ehurch at
Macedonia where his wife and daugh
ter were members. His life was a long
and happy association with Ids family
und friends and there are none who
can say ill of him. He had u beautiful
spirit of friendliness and charity to
ward his fellowmen and there were
very few flaws, if any, that could be
found in his character. He was as was
his friend, A'sa J. Manning, who pre
ceded him to the grave only a few
days, a truly good man and has liv
ed in the past few years in a state
of anticipation of the joy that he ex
pected to have after departing his
frail earthly body.
The funeral was conducted yester
day afternoon at the late residence
and interment was made in the midst
of a great number of sorrowing rel
atives ami friends in the Tice ceme
tary, a short way from the place
where he was born.
Pipe Arrives For
New Water Mains
The first car load of pipe to be used
ir. extending the town's water mains
arrived here this week. The shipment
was unloaded yeoterday and is being
placed along tbe proposed extensions.
At a meeting of the town commis
sioners»peveral weeks ago the matter
of increasing the water lines was
brought up and it was decided to ex
tend the mains across the railroad on |
the Washington road and to a point
in the rear of the tobacco warehouses
near the tobacco re-drying plant.
The material for the extensions has
been ordered for some time and the
shipment yesterday was the first to
arrive.
The extension of the mains was
brought about when the necessity for
better fire protection was needed both
at the points in the rear of the ware
houses and across he railroad. Several
water customers will connect wh?n
the line is laid across the railroad.
Mr. M. S. Moore will have charge
of the work, and he expecta to com
pete the job within the next few
weeks
Mrs. W. B. Watts Is
Badly Hurt in Fall
Mrs. W. B. Watte while leaving the
theatre here last Wednesday night
grew vertiginous and fell the entire
length of the first flight of steps
leading to the second floor of the
building. Mrs. Watts, becoming affect
ed by vertigo, reached for the hand
rail to steady her self; and failing to
do so she fell hed first to the cement
below, causing many to wonder how
she escaped serious injury. Even
though no bones were broken, she
was badly hurt, and it is her doctor's
crdos that she remain 1n tied for
several days. In the fall, Mrs. Watts
had two of her teeth knocked out
Williamston, Martin County, North Carolinaf Friday, July 22,1927.
Further Developments
Await Action of
Railroad
Official* of the Standard Whole
sale Phosphate and Acid Works,
Messrs. C. T. Crockett, T. H. Wells,
A. H. Gischell and John Mi-Gregory,
were here yesterday in the interest
of that company's proposed plant
here. _
''All plans for the construction of
a factory here are complete, and
should the Atlantic Coast Line Kail
road company assure us that they
will extend their trucks to the
river, arrangements for shipping ma
terial here would be made at once",
the officials stated in an interview
yesterday. While here the company's
officials looked over the property sur
veyed and approved the proposed site.
Mr. Crockett, one of the factory
officials, went on to say that further
plans for the erection of the factory
would have to await the action of
the railroad company, that their plant
would do practically all its business
over that road and it would be neces
sary to have shipping facilities at
hand before actual work on the plant
could be started.
No definite answer could be hail re
garding the Coast Line company's ac
tion in the matter from the fertilizer
men, they stating that their company
would do a large amount of business
' over the Coast Line tracks. Local
people who have investigated the
factory's locating here, state that
they see no reason why the railroad
company Would hesitate to repair the
eld road to the river and give service
to the proposed plant.
It is understood that the railruu'l
company says lis* KX) would he
necessary to upuir the roail. Local
people who are familiar with en-1
gineering and who have walked the
road over, stat • that no Mich r.mount!
would be requii 'I to rcpr.ir the road,
that around S3,(XO would be sufficient
for tlie purpose.
The people in this section are very
much interested in the proposed
plant's locating here, and many of
them are at a loss to understand why
tho Atlantic Coast Line company is '
net ready to meet the demand of the
fertilizer people, which is considered
here as being very reasonable.
CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
MARTIN'S QUOTA ON
First Meeting Held in
Robersonville Last
Tuesday Night
An intensive campaign to raise Mar
tir county's quota for the support of
til-• branch office of the Kastern Caro
lina Chamber of Commerce, at Wind
s( r, is now beinc put on. The first
gun was fired in this campaign last
Tuesday night at a big barbecue held
in Robarsonville. The effect of the
"shot" was checked considedably by
the down pour of rain in the after ,
noon and night of the occasion. But
despit* this fact, about twenty-five
citizens from Williamston and Rober
acnville were on hand to enjoy the
program. The meeting was adjourned
until the next day at noon, where a
second barbecue was held, where a
bout thirty citizens from Everetts and
liober.'ionville were in attendance.
At both meetings the program of
tlie Eu.itern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce was explained by Secretary N.
G. Bartjett. Interesting speeches were
made in support of the work of the
organization by Mr. K. G. Andemon,
and Mayor G, H. Cox, of Roberson
ville and Elbert S. Peelc, of William
ston. . . * 1 1
The following quotas have been as
signed the various towns in this coun
ty: Williamston, $300.; Robersonville,
si>oo.; Everetts, *6O; Oak City, S9O;
Jamesville, SSO; Hamilton, SSO. Ever
etts has already reported her quota
raised. Paul Bailey, cashier, Planters
> ard Merchants bank, Everetts, was
chairman of his committee; Elbert S.
Peel, of Williamston, accepted our
town's quota and has set about to get
it up by the latter part of his week-.
Oak City is working on her allot
ment; Hamilton has her quota juttt
about in hand. Jamesville has not
been heard from as yet, but it goes
without saying that Jamesville will go
over the top, as usual.
From all indications now, every town
in the county will raise its quota
without much trouble and will be
represented in the big Middle Western*
Advertising campaign that will be
waged this fall. Sol Cherry, manager
cf the Windsor office is busily engag
ed now getting things finished up in
Martin before going into the other
counties for their respective quotas.
The seven counties in the jurisdiction
o* the Windsor office are, Bertie,
Northampton, Hertford, Gates, Mar
tin, Washington and Beaufort.
County Sends
Three Inmates
To the Asylum
Ben Simmons Is Crazy
Over the Expected
New Model Ford
Sheriff Roebuck carried the county's
third inmate within the put few days
to the asylum at Goldsbom this week.
Recently Mary Tom Tyner, familiar
character on the streets here, was en
tered in the asylum, and fast Tuesday
Bennie Simmons and Mack KnighJ
were carried in. In exchange. Sheriff
Roebuck brought back two innjates
from the asylum.
Bennie Simmons, 18 old negro,
was placed in jail here lqfct Saturday
and during the few hys there he
substantiated all evidence claiming
him crazy. He told Mr. J. Sam Getsin
f,er to turn him out so he could drive
one of the new model Fords. Well, it
A'.ould be unjust to call hitn craxy for
wanting to drive a new model Fonl;
for there are numbers of peole who
have already made the first payment
or that type of car. But wllen the boy
fitated he wanted to get his hands on
one of the new models so he could
fly all up in the clouds and never
come back, why he differ d. Sheriff
Roebuck had no trouble with him
while on the way to Goldsboro, but
scon after they entered4hc office of
the asylum, Simmons tA loose and
turned things around. It required
several to quiet him and march him
tc his room. %
Mack Knight, an aged Colored man,
and who has been at the county home
for the past several mofiths, stated
how hadly he hated to Rt> to Golds
boro, for he said he knew they would
cut him all to pieces when he reach
ed there. Upon the assurance from
Sheriff Roebuck that no -uch thing
would happen to him, he went along
last Tuesday without making further
objections other than expressing dis
appointment for having to leave John
Bland's county home.
While at the asylum? Sheriff Roe
buck suw Mary Tom Tyner ami he
slated she had not changed a bit,
that she was in the kitcMi helping
with the cooking and dnlfig all the
bossing. Her gift at quarreling was
still evident, the Sheriff stated.

For Chowan Bridge
A. K. Haxstun, former resident of
tain town who engineered the cause
way ucross the river here, Is said to
have advanced the first idea for the
erection end location of the great

structure in making the highway syß

Women Fight Over
Unfaithful Husband
Fhillis Smith, colored woman liv
ing below the river hill, fvceived a
sprained wrist and several other'
bruises when a suspicion led her to
lcok in Felix S pedlar's woodhouse,
near by.
The story told by the woman yes
terday had its laughable parts as well
as those revealing the fact that her
home was about to be wrecked by
another woman. Her story reads, "I
Cot my hand sprained Saturday night
fighting a woman over my husband,
Richard Smith." How old is your
husband ? "He b: 68," was the reply.
Back to the story, "I went to Spellar's
woodhouse, near by and Naomi Ruffin
and my husband had the dear closed.
I opened it and started the battle.
Just before I fell, Mrs. Ruffin hod
started home, but when she saw I
was down, she jumped on me. When
I asked my husband to come out, he
could not; for he was not dressed."
It is understood the "kffair will be
before the court*.

4-H Club Girls Return
From Trip to Raleigh
Nine members of the 4-H clubs in
this county have returned from an
eventful week in Raleigh where they
took short courses in cooking, sew
ing and room improvement. During
the week the 420 girls from all over
the State attending the short courses
were taught many things relating to
general economic conditions in the
home. Several of the girls from this
county stated upon their return that
the program for the week was well
arranged and that they had a wonder*
ful time. b
The week's entertainment included
visits to the capital, governor's home,
ut-ylum and penitentiary. This was
the first visit of many of the girls
tc Raleigh, and the trip was most
J,'tn*Acial in both its instructive and
entertaining features. The trip was
trade oh one of the county's school
trucks.
There are ten of the 4-H clubs in
the county, but only five of the ten
v/ere represented at Raleigh.
Boy Scouts Leave Next
Month For Nags Head
The latest plans in scout circles
Itere will carry the 16 members of
the local troupe to Nags Head some
time around the first of next month.
The scout heads are making plans for
the trip to that place, but when they
will loave and how they will go have
rot been decided upon.
The scoutq were disappointed in the
show receipts last Monday and Tues
day nights when the management of
the theatro turned them over to the
scoutmaster. They had advertised
"Knockout Reilly" to a fare ye well,
but because it was for the benefit of
the scouts or pomothing along that
line It did pot meet the approval of
patrons, tlie receipts were small, and
the scouts realized only 120. Well,
that helped; so they are off .to Naga
Head some time the first of next
month. i.l

Visitors Highly Pleased
With Edenton's Way
of Entertaining
Edenton proved itself a most hos
pitable host last Wednesday when a
crowd ot people estimated to number
U',ooo assembled within its borders
to take part in the Chowan bridge
••pining exercises. Many of the t.".,-
Cth), visiting the historic town for the
first time in their lives, returned hom e
highly pleased with the town's method
cT entertaining such a large number
of visitors. And so the time, so long
neglected, has been made and North
Carolina will move forward not as
so many units but as a body.
The celebration Wednesday will go
down, probably, as one of the most re
markable events in the history of the
State, for it ha.-, brought together
thousands of people who heretofore
knew little of iheir neighbors. The
day's exercises were very fittingly
carried out when many notables from
the State and from Virginia made
short talks commemorating the build
ing of the mile ami one-half .struc
ture across the Chowan, In the ab
sence of Governor McLean, Lieuten
ant Governor Klmer Long extended
the greetings of the State's Chief Ex
etutive. Just tribute was paid to the
sons of the section "across the way"
in the message, and a welcome to
their own State was extended them.
Amplifiers assisted the speakers in
spreading their messages to the thou
sands of people who thronged the
streets near the courthouse.
In spite of heavy storms Tuesday,
large crowd;; were making their way
te the bridge center that evening, and
ei;rly that night, all the hotels we he
filled and many of the private homes
were thrown open to the visitors.
Edenton was making splendid efforts
to handle the throngs. Early Wednes
day morning automobiles from as far
away as Raleigh, Morehead City, and
Greensboro began paas.ing through
the Maint street here ereroute to the
formal opening of the bridge. For
several hours during the morning, the
cars passing through the street here
en route to the celebration averaged
more than one a minute, and at timi- .
u;' many as six -to fifteen would go
through in one group.
The only complaint made by re
turning visitors was about the road
leading to the bridge. The heavy rain -
hud made the roads almost impassible
irt places, but team and tractors wele
placed along the way and used to
keep the throngs moving. At six o'-
clock tliut evening I.JVOO cars had
ppssed over the structure, and many
more were then to return home. While
thousands were entering Edenton by
way of the bridge, extra boats were
lidded to the regular ferry across the
Albemarle and hundreds of cars were
curried over that way.
The opening _u**reti£onies started
iihortly after II o'clock at Eden House
when the U. K. Army band rendered
several "selections. Lieutenant-Gover
nor Elmer Long, escorted by a rep re
scntative from liertie county imper
sonating Sir Nathaniel Duckinfield,
greeted the representatives from th
seven counties east of the Chowan
river and welcomed hem into the
State.
The ribbon across the bridge wa
cut by Highway Commissioner Frank
j C. Kugler. The motorcade from the
1 two sections proceeded towards Eden
ton. At Edenton on the courthouse
green addresses were made by Hon.
J C, 11. Ehringhuus, of Elizabeth City
' Hon. Joshepus Daniels, of Kaleigh;
Hon. J. Elmer Long, of kaleigh;
' Gen. A. J. Howley, of Fort Bragg;
Mr. Fred G. Warde, general secretary
South Atlantic Highway association,
oi Brunswick, Gn.; Hon. Frank J'age,
of Kaleigh and Hon. Tibet L. Koper,
jof Norfolk. All the add resses were
short and appropriate for the occa
ion.
Regular Trallie Heavy
Since the bridge was opened to
traffic the first of this month, around
three thousand cars have passed ovei
it. The highway commission expected
around* 60 cars a day to pass over
the bridge for the first few week .
