Williamston. Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, March 9,1928
WOMAN'S CLUB IS
BACKING BETTER
ENGLISH WEEK
Week From March 12 to 17
To Be Observed By
Local School
CONTEST ARRANGED
Child Who Makes Most Corrections
And Fewest Mistakes To Be
Awarded Prise
After much road building with a
corresponding development in manu
facturing and farming projects, it has
been wisely put by some one that
North Carolina should tum her atten
tion in the direction of culture. Her
advancement in material wealth has
been marked, and we would not have
it otherwiae; but, we are pleading
for more attention to be given to cul
tural values. The State President of
the North Carolina Federation of
Women'a clubs, Mrs. T. O'Berry, is
making every effort to influence the
units of her organizaiton to make this
a year of acquiring knowledge and
passing it on. She is making Educa
tion the keynote of her administra
tion.
Through the columns of the Enter
prise, the local club has already ex
pressed an active interest for an in
crease in educational opportunities
and advantages for the people of the
community. A library for Martin
county located in the county seat ia
not beyond the materialisation of our
hopes. We earnestly want to aee such
an institution in Martin county. Other
counties have them, and we can aee
no reasonable cause for our not hav
ing as much as others in like circum
stances.
Under the general topic of Educa
tion,'we believe a campaign for the
promotion of Good Engliah in every
walk of Ufa can be launched here in
Williamston with great benefit com
ing from it. We are deaignating the
week from March 12 to 17 aa Better
Engliah Week, and it ia hoped that
everybody will join handa in trying
to make this effort for better lan
guage a success. "The manner in
which one apeaks his mother tongue
ia looked upon aa ahowing more clear
ly than any other one thing what his
culture ia and what his aaaociatea has
been". lan't this a challenge to every
interested citisen to champion the
cause of good Engliah in order that it
might be correctly spoken by both
old and young T
In the form of a dim test, a program
for the school children has been plan
ned. In the spirit of corrective and
helpful criticism children ahd adulta
will be reminded of their defective
speech. In the achool the child who
makes the most corrections and
fewest mistakes during this week
will be given a priie. It ia hoped that
the'adulta will profit by the work of
theae young grammarians.
Thia ia not a campaign peculiar to
Williamston. All the towns in the
State have either had auch a cam
paign or are plannine one. It ia well
worth our time; so let'a not fail to
put aufficient enthusiasm into it aa
will be necessary for ita success. The
chairman of the Better-Engliah-Week
committee of the Federated Women'a
clubs of North Carolina has sug
gested that thia week may be observ
ed beneficially ia the home. Her plan
would be for a certain time to be
aet aside for oral reading and a dis
cussion of family habita of apeech.
In every caae put forth every effort
to curb the use of alang, violent ex
pressions aad sharp remarks in/the
home, the school, and in the com
munity.
Allow me as President of the Wil
liamaton Woman's club to urge every
citiien aa well aa member to aee that
all our children are taught to uae
good language and that the children
with unfavorable home surroundinga
become special objects of our atten
tion.

FEDERAL AGENTS
GET FIVE MEN AT
STILL TUESDAY
Destroy Three Stills and
Pour Out Large Quantity
Of Beer Mash
FOUR RAISE BONDS
J°« Parker, Colored, of
Only One of Quintet Captured
Who Is Still in Jail *
Tuesday, Prohibition Agent P. L.
Flinchum with assistants visited the
Cratt neighborhood, this county. They
rat found a still with no attendant ex
cept Billy Cratt's friendly little dog
which acted so friendly that the of
ficers decided the little animal's only
connection with the distillery was to
meet and entertain early arriving
guests.
After the officers had looked around
for a while the'little dog 'an home
to get breakfast, and, in some way,
inform his master that early visitors I
had arrived and were waiting. At any
rate, Mr. Cratt and little doggie came
wandering to the still but when they
reached the spot, the officers raised
up. Mr. Cratt ran, but was caught.
The still was not more than 4(H) yards
from Mr. Cratt's house and even
though a very plain and much used
path led to his house, Mr. Cratt did
not know anything about it.
Mr. Cratt, the still and and 1600
gallons of beer were captured. The
beer was poured out, the still and Mr.
Cratt were brought here where Mr.
Cratt was required to give bond in
the sum of S6OO for his appearance
at the spring term of federal court
In Washington, April 16.
Only a hundred yards away from
this i still, two other officers were
guarding another still whew* a white
man and a negro, Joe Parker, were
operating. When the officers walked
up, Joe, taking them for customers,
smiled and let them reach him, but
the white man applied the rule of
safety firstand fled. One of the officers
chased him, but the moonshiner suc
ceeded in getting to his car Qnd made
a get away.
Joe said he did not know the white
man, that he had ndver seen a still
before, that a strange white man and
a boy invited him down to see some
thing. Joe was brought here together
with the still, other equipment
and around twenty-five gallons of
liquor had been poured out togethei
with a quantity of beer.
Owing to the singular circumstances
that Joe had never seen a still be
fore and had been invited down by
strangers simply for an observation,
and because of the fact that Joe is a
resident of the City of Washington,
order that he may reach his
home in safety he was placed in the
Martin County jail and will be escort
ed to the city of his nativity on the
16th t>t April to relate his strange
experience to Judge Ike Meekins un
less he furnishes a SI,OOO bond to
guarantee his voluntary visit t» the
court.
Wednesday, C. F. Alexander, fed
eral agent with a few assistants,
went to the "Islands" where they
struck a warm trail and soon found
a batch of beer, several empty bar
rels, a big still ready to be placed on
the grates and a third of a barrel
of liquor. No one was present but the
work looked so fresh the officers were,
sure some body would soon appear
and concluded to remain and watch
developments. In less than five min
utes, Tobie Barber, Harvey Perry aol
Henry Stevenson were aeen coming,
one with a bag of corn meal, one
with a bag of rye meal and the other
one with a bag of sugar. The officers
caught two of them, Tobie succeeded
in escaping at that time. He was pick
ed up later at his home by the officers.
They were brought to Williamston
and succeeded in raising a SSOO bond
each to appear at Washington, the
16th of April.

Was One of County's Oldest
Citizens; Funeral Held
This Afternoon
Joseph Gurkin, one of the county's
oldest citizens, died at the County
Home last night and was buried in
the Nicholson graveyard, four miles
from here this afternoon.
Mr. Gurkin, around 83 years old,
was born on the Roanoke river where
he shed and hunted for a living until
a grown man. He was married twice,
first to Miss Adaline Quinn. To 'this
union there were born two daughters,
Jane and Josephine who died many
years ago, and one son, Charles Gur
kin who was last heard from in Oak
land, Cal. After the death of his first
wife, Mr. Gufkin married Miss Har

the Indian, and had the eye of an
eagle even until a few gears ago
when his health failed.
Upright in his dealings with his
fellow man, it is said of him that he
never complained. If the weather was
fair or stormy, or if he was in want
or had plenty, he never murmured.
His close associates say they never
knew of a single instance of false
hood or dishonor in his whole life.
He wa sjust humble and friendly tp

Gives Demonstration Of
* Oils Here Last Night
Showing the action of certain motor
oils under a high temperature and at
zero, Mr. E. H. Wlllenbucher, of the
Texas Company, advanced many in
teresting and valuable facts about
various oils in a striking demonstra
tion here last night at the Central
Service Btation.
Mr. Willenbucher took the various
grades of Texaco oils and showed
what they would do in zero weather.
At eight degrees above zero, Texaco
super heavy ran" freely. Then at s
high temperature, he showed what the
same oil would do by placing drops of
it on a hot p&te. The amount of car
bon left on the plat* was negligible,
and this according to the representa
tive is a vital Castor in motor lubri
cation.
