80 PER CENT IS SOLD
Totil of Around Seventy Thousand
Bags Shipped; Would Make Train
Over Two Miles Long
If the popcorn growers have done
as well this year as the peanut grow
er* in this section have done, there
will be no shortage of peanuts-pop
corn at the circuses for a long time
to come. Shipments of peanuts from
this market reached in the neighbor
hood of seventy thousand bags yester
day. Put them all in railroad cars
and there would be around 230 cars,
making a solid train of over two miles
in length.
The first shipment was made over
the A. C. L. October 29. Since that
time the shipments have increased in
size and number and as many as
fifteen cars have left the market here
in one day. The boat line handled a
large number of the goobers, carrying
solid loads to Edenton and other
peanut markets. The majority of the
shipments went to Suffolk and Eden
ton.
Reports from other markets in the
county were not obtainable yesterday,
but it is understood that they when
added the ones here, will show
Martin county to be one of the largest
peanut growing counties in the coun
try.
Unfavorable weather conditions have
delayed the peanut farmers in picking
and marketing their crops, and at this
time, it is estimated that not more
than eighty per cent, of the crop has
been picked and sold. It will be some
Ume in January before a complete
report can be had, showing the exact
number of bags of peanuts raised in
the county.

Shipments of raw materials to the
Standard Fertiliser Company here

the raw products.
High water in the Roanoke has de
layed several shipments of the fer
tilizer ingredients, and at the present
time the Northern Twenty is anchor
ed near J&mesville waiting for the
high water to go down. An ocean go
ing tug was forced to drop the big
barge from its tow when it faced the
swift current of the Roanoke. Two
barges were carried out Wednesday,
and it was all the tug boat could do
to swing them around the curves of
the river.
Mr. Hondurant, plant manager itat
ed yesterday that as long as the water
remained up, the Northern Twenty
would have to remain below James
ville with its 800-ton cargo.
Measurements of the river yester

LEAF MARKET
CLOSES TODAY
Warehouses To Open Again
January 3; Nearly Eight
Million Pounds Sold' \
The local tobacco market closed
with its sales a fraction under
the eight-million mark. The bad wea
ther for the most of the week brought
the sales down considerably. Exclusive
of scrap, the number of pounds sold up
to the 14th of the month reached 1,-
886,576.
The average price for the market
according to the last government re
port was 26.71. The uverage for the
State was 26.40. There were five
eastern markets that led Willianiston
in pounds, Greenville, Kins
ton, Rocky Mount and Farmville,
Seven markets led in prices, Rob
ersonville, Washington, Wilson, Tar
boro, Greenville, Famiville, Rocky
Mount.
The price change from last year is
very interesting and reflects one fact,
that the reasons in a community which
produce a g. >d crop will insure good
prices in a neighboring market. Last
year, Ahoskie was Birtftwg the highest
while this year it was the lowest.
The warehouses expect to open
again about the °rd of January as
there seems to be considerable tobacco
that could not be put on the market
before its close for the holidays.

BY HIGHWAYMEN

GET $52.80 AND WATCH
Two Negroes, After Robbing and
Binding Auto Salesman, Try
To Run Car Over, Him
i
Mr. Henry Johnson, JP., saiesmai.
for the Rebersonvtlle Motor Com
pany, Kobersonvillo, was robbed by
highwaymen last Wednesday night on
the old Palinyra-llobgood road, a
short distance from Oak City.
A reporter for the Robersonville
Record writes:
"The highwaymen, according: to
Mr. Johnson, got $52.80 cfish off his
person, and his watch. Thr negroes
had, apparently planned a most clever
.scheme by which to execute their
crime. According: to Mr. Johnson, the
two negroes came to Robersonville oh
Wednesday, calling at the Roberson
ville Motor Company on the pretense
of wishing to purchase a used car.
Mr. Johnson waited on them, and they
became interested in an Oldttnoblle.
However, they explained to Mr. John-
son that they would have to consult
their wives and wished for them also
to see the car, requesting that he meet
them in Palmyra'with the car about
sunset or dark Wednesday night. Up
on reaching Palmyra Mr. Johnson
found only one of the negroes there,
ho explaining that the other one had
gone to Oak City after his wife. When
Mr. Johnson told him that h • could
not wait much longer, the negro
him SIO,OO deposit, stating
Uiat if they fniled to see the 'other
pUrty that night that he would All at
ihe Robei sonville Motor Company
Thursday and close the ileal for the
car. ,The negro, thereupon, gave Mr.
Johnson a $20.00 bill and Mr. John
,son gave lum SIO.OO change and a
receipt. However, before Mr. John
son got away it was suggested by the
negro that they go toward Oak City
and they would meet the second negro
with his wife. Unsuspectingly, Mr.
Johnson complied and took th»» nwiro
ia the Oldsniohile for the trip.
"When about three and a half miles
out from Oak City, the negro asked
Mr. Johnson to stop a minute, to
which request he UIKO complied. When
the negro got out of the car he switch
ed the lights off J and the second
negro emerged from the bushes and
had Mr. Johnson covered with a gun.
After tying his hands behind him with
wire, and also tying his handkerchief
over Mr. Johnson's face, they search
ed him, taking the $52.80 and his
watch, after w.hich they threw him
to the ground and attempted to run
th',' jLL-liitn, tmt I his, without
success at Mr. Johnson managed to
keep the wheels off of him. They
drove Mr. Johnson's car some 400
yards down the road and abandoned
it, one negro coming back and strik
ing Mr. Johnson in the face, knocking
him uncons'ious for almost an hour.
"When he came to, Mr. Johnson
saw a white man coming towaid him,
but he, upon seeing him bandaged
with the handkerchief was at first
hesitant in approaching Mr. Johnson.
However, when he understood what
had taken place the man, a Mr. Scott
who lives on the I>>ggett farm, re
leased Mr. Johnson and they went to
-a'negro's home nearby. The com
pany's ohlee here was notified, and
they, in turn, notified local andrcoun
ty authorities in all *he surrounding
town& and counties. Illondhounds from
Knfield were summoned and they
carried the trail for some distance
where it came to an abrupt end, evi
dence showing that the negroes had
boarded another car." ,
The negroes are not known in the
upper part of the county, and while
they are not sure, residents- there
are of the opinion that the men are
from near Weldon. Several clues are
being followed in an effort to capture
the robbers, but up until this morning
very little progress hed been made
to thut end.

TO CHOOSE SITE?
FOR NEW HlGrf
SCHOOL TUESDAY
Big Crowd Expected To
Be At Board Meeting
Tuesday Night
TWO SITES FAVORED
Property Near Fair Grounds and Lot
In New Town Seem To Be
Favorites Now
f " .
The meeting railed by the Hoard
oi Kducution to be held next Tuesday
afternoon at the courthouse' when a
site for the new school building will
be selected, will in all probability, be
largely attended by citizens of the
town and community. Already many
citizens have'offered their ideas as to
where' the site should be, and as far
as it can be learned, the field in»New
Town and'property on Highway No.
9,0 are most widely suggested.
One cituejiv', favoring the Martin
property on Highway 90 stated that
this site was decidedly the best one,
considering drainage, room, town ex
pansion and the publicity feature of
the building. Should the building be
located there, it only a mat
ter of a veiV few months before tfhe
railroad underpass would be widened
and ,sidewalks provided and construct
ed from the hill this Side tahe under
pass to "Ihe school building.
Another citizen in expressing his
ideas and views stated that the logi
cal site wolfld ba» in the Held in New
Town, near_ the home of Mr. Bob
Leggett. Giving his reasons for this
us a probable site, he mentioned the
convenience of the location, room and
development of the town. He -did not
say a street would be cut through
front*the town's main thoroughfare,
across the railroad near the storage
warehouse and on into Hatton street,
bue he did say that one could be cut
through there, making the school con
venient to the business district and as
easily acceslbie for the children as is
the present building This citizen men
tioned the undesirable features of
this-along with 'he good ones, stntirfg
that a school building located on this
j site would" have a tendency to central
ize the town instead of scattering it
over 4 two-mile territory.
It is understood that favorable of
fers have been made, and that they
will be made public next Tuesday at
the meeting.
