LOdAL MARKET i
ABOVE BRIGHT
BELT AVERAGE
September Sales Here Av
eraged $17.46; Belt
Average $16.01
PRICES BETTER NOW
All llarksts Below Averages Made
Last Year; Crop Estimated at
417.64t.000 Pounds
The Williamston tobacco market
was |1.46 per hundred above the aver
age for the new bright tobacco belt
according to a State report just made
public. The belt average was $16.01,
while the local market's was $17.46.
The highest average was made in
Windsor when that market sold 891,-
676 pounds at an average of $19.88
per hundred pounds. The various aver
cges made in the bright belt for the
month of September were about the
>ame ,a:id in all instances were far
below those made last year. In some
caes, the drop in prices this year
amounted to $lO. per one> hundred
pounds. Not a single market averaged
30 cents this year, while the lowest
average made last year was above
23.cents.
The report showing the averages
for the State included the September
sales only. An increase in the average
can be expected in the next report,
but in comparison with that of the
same month last year, it will in all
probability be lower. There has been
an increase iu prices during the past
few daya on (he markets in the belt,
but the increase will have,to go con
biderably higher to compare favorably
with that of last year.
In reporting the present situation
of the crop, the State and Federal
Departments .of Agriculture state:
"The present situation of the to
bacco fanners, with relation to the
low prices being received, is apparent
ly tht result of over production, as
the bright flu# cured types hav« very
little comptition from foreign pro
ducera. Last year's 393,000,000 pound
crop was the third largest this State
over grew. This year we produced
est crop ever grown. Last year prices
417,#4M,000 pounds, the second larg
were satisfactory—-this year they are
toerHow. This situation is very similar
to the year 1919-1920, and also 1922-
1923.
"It is doubtful if excessive daily
sales are responsible for lower prices
as farmers are not in a position to
store their crop for any great length
of time and the buyers have a fairly
clear conception of the sise of the
crop they will be expected to handle.
"Season's sales to October 1 have
totaled 130,670,166 pounds producers',
at an average of $17.82 per hundred,
or a total value of about $22,600,-
000. Those sales are about 81 per
cent of the total crop, aa compared
with 28 per cent, sold to October 1
lust year. " * _ j
"The 106,684,096 pounds producers'
sales during September averaged
$16.81 per hundred pounds as com
pared with an. average last Septem
ber of $24.80. The quality of the of
ferings were reported by warehouse
men as poor to average, having fair
ly good color, but rather light in
weight.
"The condition of North Carolina
tobacco on October 1 this year was
riO per cent, of normal, aa compared
with 78 per cent, last October and
a average of 77 per cent."

NEWS ITEMS OF
LOCAL SCHOOL
Much Interest Shown in
Various Organizations
And Clubs
Interest in various clubs and organ
isations in the local school haa roach-1
ed a high point during the past few i
uays and now the school has aeveral
clubs and societies functioning.
The Literary club held its first meet
ing this morning, with twehty mem
bers enrolled. This club will be under
the direction of the teachers in the
high school.
The Dramatic club resumed ita work
two weeks ago and has an active mem
bership totalling SO or more. Miss
Josephine Harrison is the club'a presi
dent and Edwin Peele, ita business

of the English department.
Thirty-five pupils have attended
each of th« four meetings of the
music club. Officers will be named at
a meeting next Wednesday. Mrs. W.
O. Manning, jr. is the club's director.
Membership in at least one of these
clubs is required of each high school

et! improvement under Miss Wilkins.
The honor roll for the month just
closed suffered greatly on account
of the large number of absences at
the bginning of school. Many pupils
were one or two days late entering,
and since a pupil must attend regular
ly and avoid being tardy as well as

roll is small. According to the reports

would be three times is siic should
one absence be allowed.

KIWANIS HEARS
DR. FLETCHER
Speak* to Club Memberd'on
Broader Meaning of
I "We Build"
The Williamston Kiwanis club had
as its guest at the Wednesday lunch
eon, Dr. Maynard 0. Fletcher, of
Washington, who addressed the club
members on the broader meaning of
the alogan "We Build."
Dr. Fletcher likened the progress
of men and naUons to a fleet of ships
■ailing through the course of time,
some good and some bad. The worst
of all, according to the speaker, is
the warship, -the weapon of hatred,
distrust, want of faith. This is a ship
that might be destroyed very easily
by other strong ships; that k, if we
liad a friendship strong enough to
bind men together and which could
embrace the nations of the world.
This ahip would be backed by a serv
ice ship which would make each man
and each nation as willing to help
others as they are to have others
help them. '
Another ship , mentioned by Dr.
Fletcher as important in the building
program is salesmanship which should
run into every heart and mind anionic
i ll men and natons until they possess
the idea that there is a better way
lor men to settle disputes and show
ing heir bravery than being shot
down like dogs in muddy trenches.
Leadership is also one ef the essential
things to destroy the warship. This
leadership must be in men who are
willing to lay aside personalities and
prejudices and forget their own sel
fish ambitions for the common good.
The speach was said by club mem.
bers to be the best delivered since
the organisation of the club. It touch
ed the important things in our citisen
ship.
Dr. Fletcher thinkii our past history
is a poor index to our future history,
that with the advent of a better un
derstanding between nations and peo
ple, we will have a league of friends
that will be unwilling to kill. Yet, he
thinks if we are to be good friends
with our neighbors across the
wo must first cultivate and practice
a stronger friendship with our near
neighbors, the folks at our own doors.
BIG DECREASE IN
COTTON GINNING
Less Than Fourth As Much
Cotton Ginned in County
This Year As Last
There was le»H than one-fourth as
much cotton ginned in Martin county
this SEUHJN up to October 1 UH there
was frinned up to the wme time laat
year. Uertie county ginned about ene
flfth aa much up to the same time
thia year as it did laat year. Every
county on the east side of a line
drawn across the State from Warren
to Robeson county wan behind the
1826 report in number of bales gin
ned. A few counties west of the
line were a little ahead in their gin
ning aa compared with that of 1926.
The report does not mean tliat the
shortage will be that laige thia year,
but it indicaleß that th« countiei eaat
of the line from Warren to Robeaon
are late with the crop. The reppjrt
also indicates a poor crop.
The cotton crop in the State has
been reduced to 1,787,000 acres aa
compared with 2,028,000 acres for
1926. The yield this year ia expected
U> average 226 pounds to the acre
as against 292 pounds for last year.
In 1926 there were 1,218,000 balea
harvested in the State, and Judica
tions point to only 846,000 for thia
year.

The association, young oa-lt might
be, is not asking charity, but it is ask
ing the cooperation of parents, pa

bring about a type of attileUcs that
the town will be proud of. Many peo

pressed their willingness to help
make a real association possible, ami
results can be expected within the
next few days.
While the funds will be used in
part to purchase equipment, the main
purpose of soliciting them is to pave
the way for a real system of athletics
when the new building is erected.
Officials are very much pleased with
the present outlook, and i * poet the

JUDGE BAILEY
HAS BUSY DAY
One Defendant Demanded
Trial by Jury; Revolting
Case Is Aired
The Tuesday term of recorder's
court here followed after the style
of the superior court when it culled
in a jury to hear u case. ln this, how
ever, it went only half way and se
lected six men, W. L. Taylor, J. H.
Gurganus, Henry D. Harrison, K. O.
Martin, H. C, Green and Joshua L.
Coltruin. The jury heard only one
case, that of State versus Harvey L.
(iardner who was charged with as
sault with a deadly weapon.
The case was of a very degrading
nature and caused women to leuve the
courtroom before the session was com
pleted. The alfair started when Tom
Askew, a colored man, flatly refused
16 execute UMommand made by Mr.
Gardner. For his failure to do the
kidding, Askew came very near los
ing his life when he suffered a dan
gerous knife wound on his neck. Th
evidence in thp case varied, but the
jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Judge Bailey sentenced the defendant
t the Edgecombe county roads for a
period of fifteen months. From thii
sentence, the defendant appealed his
case, and he was resuired to enter
into bond in the sum of $350 for hts.

disorderly conduct and violating the
liquor laws. Their trouble started last
Sunday when they came into this
county from near Plymouth and dis
turbed the peace at Dardens. The col
ored women plead guilty to the dis
orderly conduct charge but denied
the violation of the laws
churge. Judgment was suspended upon
the payment of the costs of the case
and upon the condition that the two
women leave the county und not re
turn.
The assault charge against Willie
Wynne wa snol pro.sued.
Dewey Manning, of near Hassells,
came into court and plead not guilty
to u reckless driving charge. After
hearing the evidence in the case, the
ccurt found that he was not guilty
of reckless driving, but found that he
was violating the "rules of the road."
Judgment was suspended upon the
defendant's paying the cost# of the
case. *"•""* *" —
Nornum Williams plead .jguilty
when he was charged with carrying
a concealed weapon, and was fined
$lO and reauired to pay the costs of
thti case.
Anthony Skyles plead guilty to an
assault on a female charge. Judg
ment was suspended upon payment of
the costs of the action.
Herbert Stalls entered court and
plead not guilty of violating the liquor
iaws and denied a larceny re
ceiving charge. After hearing the evi
dence, the court agreed with him on
the second count, but differed with
him when he said he was not guilty
of violating the liquor laws. He was
fined S6O for selling iquor, and was
required to pay the costs of the case.
He was allowed 30 days in which to
pey the fine, but was required to en
t»» into bond in the sum of SIOO un
til 'November 15, 1927, the last day

Lucian J. Hardison Gets Judgment
«■ Against Handle Company in
Anothei Opinion
The North Carolina Supreme court
reversed Nunn' decision this
week in u case, Coburn, receiver a--
gainst C. D. Carstarpiien.
The controversy grew out of a case
wherein Receiver Coburn undertook
to collect $2,400 in notes from Car
sturphen who- had oh deposit as coun
tv treasurer a larger sum in the Mar
tin County Savings ami Trust com
pany at the same time the bank held
the notes. The lower court held that
the county treasurer could not use
the depo^rcas an offset. The Supreme
court found, however, that Carstar
phen was individually responsible-for
his deposit as treasurer, and was
therefore entitled to a credit on his
note for the full amount'/
Lucian J. Hardison a de/
osion handed doyn in his favor by
the Supreme court this week. Hard
it on* had brought suit against the
National Handle company, of Ply
mouth to recover damage done to
h'hing machines in Roanoke river by
I'oating rafts of logs belonging to the
handle company. He ttrst brought
suit in a J. P. court in this county,
and found that he could not collect
from the company's agent. He went to
Washington county, the hom e of the
company and tried the case again be
fore a justice of the peace. He lost
a second time. He then appealed to
the superior court and won a judg
ment of $37. The Handle company
then appealed to the State Supreme
court which sustained the lower court
in its decision upon the ground that ~
the handU company was not entitled
fc> a of the river, and that"
Hardison was not obstructing free
passage up and down the river. The
high court further showed that there
was ample room for all fiver traffic.
START ASSEMBLY
NEW FORDS SOON
More Than 125,000 Orders
For New Car Booked
By Dealers
between 66,000 ajid 75,000 men are
working in the Ford Motor plants, ami
assembly of the new model car will
start in a few more days, according
to a statement made in Detroit last
Tuesday. Major parts of the new car
l'ave been under production for sev
icrrl weeks, the announcement said,
and the first assembly of the new
bodies was stalled "some days ago",
The announcement also revealed that
tha assembly line has been removed
from the Highland Park plant to the
River Rouge plant. The Highland
l'ark plant will be used for the manu
facture of parts. , •
Just when the first of the new model
cars -will be. distributed still remains
unknown to the thousands of dealers
throughout the Mr. J. I).
Woolard, one of the managers of the
local agency, stated yesterday that
the information gained from various
automotive journals and olier sources
indicates that deliveries will be made
within the next thirty days. He ex
pressed hope, however, that deliveries
would be made earlier than that
time.
An announcement made by Ford
officials a few days ago showed whero
135,000 customers' orders have been
placed with the various dealers in the
Stutes for delivery of the new model
cars as soon as they make their ap
pearance.
People generally have almost for
gotten that there is a new Ford "just
around the corner", and are content
ing hemselves by just waiting. It will
be just like the automobile magnate
to send his contraptions around when
they are least looked for.
