Coltrain Gets Suspended Sen tence of Twelve Months in Jail for Assault With Deadly Weapon The June term of Martin County superior court in session here this week was brought to a close Wednesday when Judge Garland E. Midyette lis tened to pleas coming from many farm ers who were called from theit work to take part in the civil proceedings. With the completion of the criminal docket Tuesday, the term was prac tically closed, excepting one or two minor cases that were held the next morning. The docket, carrying charges of murder, housebreaking, and other charges of big report, turned out to be rather weak when court examined the/evidertce in the several cases and meted out no long-term sentences. Several cases were remanded to the recorder's court, and two or three were continued. A few civil cases that were to have been heard this term are to be given first place in the proceedings next September, the time for the third regular court of the year The case itt which Amos Spruill was charge with driving an automobile while he was intoxicated was con- The cases against Arthur Lilley Lawrence Lilley. and George Hardi son for assault with a deadly weapon were remanded to the recorder's court W. H. Kllison, charged with vio lating the fishing laws, carried his case under appeal to the court and plead not guilt, A trial by jury was ordered, and after hearing the evi dence its verdict declared Kllison guil ty of fishing with a net Hot in accord ance with the fishing laws of the State. Upon his paying the costs in theVcase Judge Midyette suspended the sentence. Charged with seduction, J. H. Tay lor plead not Kuilty. but he did plead K«ilty of bastardy. Solicitor Gilliam accepted the plea for the State Taylor was ordered to pay $25 to the piosecuting witness, Katie Rogers, and $lO each month for two years. To assure his part in the obligation, the defendant was placed under a $250 bond. The following day judgment »af stricken out by the court, and the defendant was placed under bond in the suoi of $750 for his appearance at the. September term of Martin County superior court. The case charging John R. Coltrain with assault with intent to kill prob ably attracted the greatest attention of any one heard this term. Cojtrain's attorneys, A. W. McLean, of Wash ington, and E. S. I'eel, of this pUce, entered a plea of not guilty of assault y ith intent fo kill, but contended wjth a plea of assault with a deadly weapon. The pleas was accepted by the State's solicitor,' Donnell Gilliam, and a sus pended sentence calling for 12 months in jail with leave to be assigned to the authorities of Kdgecombe County for work on the public roads of that county was meted out by Judge Midy ette. The defendant was required to pay the costs of the action, and capias tc. issue at any time within two year> upon the request oi the solicitor for the State under the direction of the judge holding court in the district and in case of a new criminal charge a gainst the defendant. The judgment made in the case heard this week is to be without prejudice to any civil rights of the defendant.

C„ the 17th of next month to determine whether the tariff on.peanuts should be increased. Last Wednesday representatives of the peanut growers association met in Norfolk to formulate plans that might be used in a campaign urging an in creased tariff. Opponents of the meas ure. including importers and the Na tional Confectioners' Association, will be heard along with the proponents of the increase tariff in „ Washington next month, and a real fight- is expect ed. In a report covering almost 200 pages, the tariff commission has pub lished its finding as to -the produc tion costs of peanuts in this' country and the relative cost of bringing pea nuts into this country from China. Ac cording to the report, the cost of do-. mestic production, using 1V24 and 1925 as an average, was $4.(>2, while the sell ing average for the same period, as far as it could be determined, was $4.72. The cost of production in China i» only $2.32. the report pointed out. An increase in the tariff will be bit ttrly fought for by the peanut growers', association, assisted by non-meinbers and cleaners in this country, and the assistance of evwy grower is urged. ALL-STARS WIN SECOND GAME Defeat Hobgood - Scotland Neck By Slugging; Score 14 to 6 The "All-Stars registered their sec ond win of the seiison last Tuesday when they defeated the combined team ot Hohgood and Scotland Neck at Hobgood, 14 to I). Cherry, of \Ever etts, twirled a good game, while the hitting of the entire nine was of the extraordinary type. The boys', as well as a large number of spectators, were greatly disappoint ed yesterday afternoon when Grimes land failed to show up for a return game. No reason was assigned for the failure of the Grintcsland players to make their appearance, . and tin' managers of the All-Stars arc unable to .'understand why the I'itt County lads forleited the game. The team goes to Beaufort tomor row, where a game will be played with a Morehead-Beaufort aggregation. »•, Next Tuesday the team meets Washington lit Washington for the first time this season, and a good ex hibition is- expected. The Washing tonians are scheduled to return the game the following Thursday. Judge Midyette sent him to jail for twelve months to be assigned to the authorities of Edgecombe County to be worked on the roads there. Roy Ford charged with assault with a deadly weapon and with an attempt to rape, plead guilty to the first clause but maintained his innocence on the second count. The plea of not guilty in the second instance was accepted by the solicitor, and sentence was sus pended upon payment of the costs oi the action. William Hassell, young colored boy charged with housebreaking, came in to court and plead not guilty to the charge. The State's evidence was heard, and it was the opinion of many that a conviction was in order. The defense offered no testimony, but thru agreement entered a plea of guilty of forcible trespass. Solicitor Gilliam accepted the plea, and the court at tenders waited for the judge's an nouncement. Six months in jail was placed on the young negro, which means that he will be at liberty about October 1, since the little over two months in jail will be counted in as a part of the sentence. John Alonzo Hassell, a brother of William, came into court uuder a sim ilar charge, but at the outset he plead guilty of forcible trespass and a sen tence of four months was meted out by the judge. In both of these cases Judge Midyette made a talk, showing the two colored defendants by what a narrow margin they had missed paying the supreme penalty, and explained how they escaped , with the Jfenalties imposed. In Hi*talk, Mr. Alidyette told the older'boy that had h«"put his hand just inside the door he would be a proper subject for the electric-chair. Alonzo was held in connection with trespass on the W. Ci Lamb property. |(Continued on page four) Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, June 22, 1928 EARLY REPORTS INDICATE GOOD FAIR THIS YEAR W. T.

It Ihe plans materialize, Hobgood and Scotland Neck, as one team, will represent Halifax County; Washing lon, in , Beaufort County; Plymouth ami Roper, Washington .County; and All-County stars will represent this c unty. Basebal men in Hobgood and Scotland Keck, it i,s said, are highly in favor of such (an organization, and it is hoped that arrangements can be made with Washington and the Wash ington County players whereby those two teams might be included. Once the organization is perfected, it is thought that two regular games wil be pllyed by each team every week, occasionally staging an exhi bit iWf game as ar tliipl one during cer tain weeks,... Several are at work 31 the present time in trying to effect the organiza tion, and if they are, sucessful, the first games will probably be played week after, next. Series Of Sermons At Baptist Church I.ast Sunday morning the pastor of the Baptist C hurch began a short sum mer series of sermons on the home, using for the general theme, 'Keep the Home Fifes Burning.'

' Other subjects in the series will be, 'Go all the Child's Mother'; 'The Lad's Father"; and, for the last iu the series the subjecMvil be that of the general title of the series, 'Keeping the Home Fires Burning.' ' , It is -thought that such a series of summer preaching. will be very ap propriate; and it is expected that the subject will create much general inter est. The sermons will be preached from time to time as announced in this paper, and the people are asked to at tend all of the se+vices possible.

Rev. C. B. Mashburn, of the Robersonville Christian Church, has brought strong messages to large numbers the meeting, in the main, stressing the values of Christianity rather than reviewing the penalties brought about by one's neglect to follow' the teachings''of the Scriptures A large crowd is ex pected to kttend the services this evening. night, Mr v Mashbuni based his sermon upon-the word.vof -King Agrippa who heard Paul state his' defense in the court of Noble Festus and exclaimed, "Almost thou per saudest me to be a Tin event came after Paul had been held prisoner in a dark prison cell for Hvu I years, the charge -against"him stating I that his preaching was upsetting the political line-up of rulers. When the king appeared in the court, lie gladly listened to Paul -defend himself on ul' matters charged by his enemies, and he was so impressed that he shouted, "Almost thou persaudest me 10 be - a Christian." Mr. Mashburn said the sam,. feel ing comes to most men when they hear the word of the Lord with its appeal of reason, love and truth, but lt>o often they turn as Felix and Agrippa did and wait - for a . more convenient season, and too often that season never comes. The subject for tonight's sermon will be the "Young Man Who Fail ed." TWO LAWYERS ARE SWORN IN Herbert O. Peel and W. P.

"SPUD" GROWERS ARE FACING RUIN Bottom Falls Out of Mar ket and Price Is Below $2 Barrel The low potato price "fnystery has bot»i added to now that a report comes forth, stating that the produc tion this year is below that of last, the farmer here cannot understand why he gets only a dollar jjr even two dollars a barrel when the pro duction is lower that it was last year and when potatoes sold at a f«iir price. And the man in the city can't understand why he has to pay a big price for potatoes there when they are so cheap in the production areas. While this immediate section is rot suitable for potato growing to any great extent, then- are farmers in neighboring counties who are fac ing failure and ruin. The diggers are being called from the folds, arid the potatoes are rotting -in the ground. Many farmers are storing their c rops but in the majAriTyyif cases where shipments were not made, the growers are allowing" the Cobblers to rot in the ground. Elizabeth City has started a "buy a barrel of potatoes" movement in an effort to' help the farmers of that xectiofi. They are asking i*uch family to buy a barrel of potatoes at $2 and sr.ve having to buy them with Mich igan or Minnesota freight added next fall. Williamston people might do the ■«ume thing. Buy them now at a cent a pound and hot have to buy them this winter at 5 cents per pound.
