G. Staton, Williamston; Durward Everett, Rob. ersonville; R. W. Salsbury, Hamilton; J. Eason Lilley, WiUiamston; and C. C. Fleming, Jamesville, investigated the budget and sdbmits the following recommendations to the county board of commissioners: To the Board of County Commis* sioners of Martin County, Greetings: The undersigned committee, named by the taxpayers of Martin County, on the 6th day of August, 1928, beg to submit herewith the following recom mendations: 1. We recommend that the county commissioners purchase their supply of coal for county and school purposes from the mines direct in carload lots, instead of through local brokers, be lieving that by so doing a considerable amount will be saved to the taxpayers ' of the county. 2. We recommend that the super intendent of the county home be a good, active man, who is capable, and that he be vested with authority to op erate and manage the county farm, and to put the same upon a paying basis; having found upon investigation that the county farm and home as now run is a losing proposition to the coun ty. We further recommend that the board consider the establishment at the county farm of a convict system for the county, believing that the said sys tem would save the county money. This recommendation is made -for the reason that we believe that prisoners could be handled at the county farm cheaper than at the county jail, and for the further reason that prisoners be- n fore trial could be worked at the coun ty farm, thereby saving the taxpayers a considerable amount. 3. We recommend that the services of the colored farm demonstration a gent be discontinued at the expiration of his present contract, thereby sav ing to the taxpayers of the county the sum of S3OO annually. 3. (a) We recommend that our white county demonstration agent visit more farm*, and also that he write more ar ticle* for the county papers that will be instructive to farmers. 4. We recommend that the sum al lowed for assistant to the clerk of the superior court be reduced from $1,500 per annum to SSOO, thereby saving to the taxpayers of the county the sum ot SI,OOO annually. Our reason for asking for this reduction in the clerk's, salary is based on the belief that an' all-time clerk is not necessary. , We recommend that the salary of the judge of the recorder's court be reduced to SSO per month, and that of the solicitor of the said court to S4O per month and that of the clerk of the said court to $12.50 per month; and that said court be held twice each month instead of four times per month j believing that two sessions of said ! court per month is ample, and thereby saving to the taxpayers of the coun ty the sum of $690. per annum. V 6. We recommend that the salary of the county attorney be reduced to SIOO per year, provided that h£ shall be paid such sums in addition for spec ial and extraordinary services, said sums to be determined by the board ot commissioners, thereby saving to the taxpayers of the county SSO per annum. 7. We recommend the employment of an all-time county auditor at a sal ary not to exceed $2,500 per annum, whose duties shall be prescribed by the board of county commissioners, such employment to start as of Janu ary 1, 1929, believing that said auditor will be able to add to the tax book* of the county sufficient taxable prop erty to more than pay his salary, and in addition save a considerable amount of money to the taxpayer! of the coun ty ,- •- > -7- ' 8. We recommend that at the expira tion of the present term of office of the various county officers that their salaries thereafter shall be as follows, ICTRANn LJ I SATURDAY 'TOM TYLER 'THE CHERO KEE KID* Added COMEDY AND SERIAL "The Golden Stallion" THE ENTERPRISE BORDER WEED MARKETS LOW Opening Tuesday Marked By Averages of From 8 To 10 Cents Visiting several of the border mar kets last Tuesday, local tobacco men , stated upon their return here that low prices were prevailing in prac tically every quarter, that a 25 per cent, reduction in prices as compared with those of last year was evident. "And it appeared to be even more than that to me," Mr. H. H. Morton of the Brick Warehouse here stated when asked about the opening near the border line. With the prices averaging between eight and ten cents, the farmers there are said to be greatly disap pointed, but as far as it could be learned, the sales have continued un hampered. * Reports from other sources differ slightly, some of them indicating that several of the markets averaged as high as 20 cents, but in the face of the Arst-hand information receiv ed here, such reports were false in their origin. The quality of the weed is said to b» ordinary, some markets report ing that the quality is very poor. to wit: The salary of the clerk of the superior court shall be $2,800, with an allowance of S6OO per year for a clerk, if necessary. Salary of the clerk of recorder's court of Martin County shall be $l5O per annum. That the salary of the sheriff of Martin County shall be $4,750, with an allowance 'of $1,250 for a deputy, if necessary; and this shall be in full payment of all services required of the sheriff, except for actual expenses in conveying pris oners beyond the limits of the coun ty of Martin. That the salary of the register of deeds of Martin County shall be $2,800, with an allowance of $1,200 for clerk hire, if necessary. That the salary of the treasurer of Martin County shall be $1,200 ' per year, and this shall include all services' Tendered for acting as treasurer for the county and the Martin County Board of Education. 8. (a) Our reason for recommend ing that the salaries of the various county officers be changed is based on our findings of the receipts and expen ditures 'of the offices, which are as follows, from July 21, 1927, to July 21. 1928: . Register of deeds, receipts, $4,888.38* cost of running office, $5,041.68; show ing a net loss of $153.30. Clerk of the superior court: receipts, $3,587.3?; cost of running offices, $4,- 751.70; showing a net loss of $1,164.38. The two above offices show a net loss to the taxpayers of Martin Coun ty of $1,317.68. Sheriff of Martin County: Receipts, $10,426.73; cost of running office, $6,- 924.76; showing a net profit of $3,- 501.87. 9. We recommend that the expense] of court stenographers be reduced, if possible, and that A. R, Dunning has been designated to -investigate the mat ter, and ascertain if this can be re duced. The amounts heretofore paid court stenographers is exorbitant. u 10. Upon investigation of what it costs to run the superior court of Mar tin County, the figures appear exor bitant, we therefore recommend to our board of county commissioners, our senators and legislator that they use thei? influence and efforts to see that this source of expense is reduced materially, feeling that the taxpayers are unnecessarily burdened with costs for the results obtained. 11. That the county tax rate for this year be reduced 10 cents on the SIOO valuation, and that the sum of SB,- 000 dollars of unused courthouse and jail and county home bond money and SB,OOO of unused road and bridge mon ey be used in the retirement of bonds and interest falling due during the fis cal year. The reason for this recom mendation is that it will keep the tax payers of Martin County from having to pay out $16,000 for taxes, and stop an anticipated increase of 6 cents in the rate if this were not done. 12. We recommend that in the event art all-time auditor is ejnployed Janu ary 1, 1929, that the clerk ot the reg ister of deeds only be allowed a sal ary of $1,200 a year, for the reason that if the register of deeds is relieved of all work in connection with the tax lists his duties will be very much less, . whereas the present salary bill allows $1,500 per year. This will effect a saving of S3OO to the taxpayers and will also be a saving of $720 per an num allowed at present to the register ot deeds as county auditor. One hun-*" dred dollars will also be saved by em ployiug an all-liux auditor, this being the amount paid to the tax supervisfeif. This arrangement, if made, will pro vide the sum o'f $1,120 to pay on the •alary of the auditor, before taking any money from the taxpayers of the coun ty- -13. Based upon information and be lief that the State highway commis sion has built certain bridges and roads in a good many counties of the State without having called upon the coun ty for any additional aid, we recom mend that our senators and represen tative use their influence with the high way commission to the end that some thing may be done at the next session ot the legislature to have the money refunded that our county has borrow ed and expended for the purpose of en abling the State highway commission to build highways and bridges in our county; feeling that if our information is true that our county has been dis criminated against. 1 14. Unless the board of education (Continued on page three) Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, August 10, 1928 COLLECTIONS BY SHERIFF GOOD 1927 Record Shows 99.796 Per Cent of Amount Levied Collected After making a splendid record in tax collections for the county, Sheriff A. L. Roebuck and Deputy S. H. Crimes are taking things comparative- Ij easy now that they have completed their reports and have a few before the 1928 tax books are turned over to the office. But it won't be so many more weeks, for clerks in the register of deed's office are busy pre paring the books for the lety. According to the tax colector's books, the 1927 collections are the best in four years, W. 796 per cent of the total amount having been collected. The percentage of taxes colectcd varies very little, however, for last—year it was 99.452. In actual amounts the sheriff's office for the fiscal year end ing June 30 collected to within $595.07 "of the entire levy: There were $291,- 627.63,t0 be collected when the sher iff and his deputy started out last year and when they handed in their reports, they had collected $291,032.56 of that amount. Not so bad, but Deputy Grimes stated yesterday afternoon that it was some job. The deputy had the appearance of a school child on its last day in school. The largest insolvent 'list was re- Corded in 1925, the list of insolvents that year amounting to $1,407.03. The following year was a little better, but not so much for the list of insolvents amounted to $1,379.85. However, in 1925, the total levy was above three hundred thousand dollars, $317,616.90 to be exact, and naturally the larger the levy the larger the insolvent list will lie. Mr. Grimes stated that small a mounts ranging from $2 to sl3 made up the insolvent list of $595.07 for the yesfr just closed. "And there is no chance in the world to collect those amounts, for those owing them have left the county, died, or "skipped." The accounts unpaid are in the form of poll and personal property taxes. AGENTS GET 5 LIQUOR PLANTS Wednesday Was Big Day For Federal Agent • And Deputies Wednesday was quarterly meeting day wl»en Federal Agent C. F. Alex ander and his deputies visited the Free Union section fh the lower part of the county and found five liquor plants. At two of the plants, the ket tles had been removed, ljut at the other three the boilers were captur ed. The officers destroyed five large vets and ninety-two barrels con taining approximately 4,500 gallons of beer, A few buckets, jugs and supplementary still tools were pick ed up. The Free ■'Union section is a very peculiar one. largely inhabited by Negroes with a touch of Indian blood, they are kind and their nature, and until they became master moonshiners were among the most dependent colored people to be found anywhere. Many of them are fairly well educated, and even after dealing in liquor manufactur ing for years, they are very friendly and kind. Their Indian instinct plays them a good hand when officers arrive in that section, for at the first sight or first sound of officers, their approach ii> sent through the entire section with whirlwind rapidity as if by magic or wireless communication. And when the officers reach a plant they find it as still aa death and as quite as the grave. They take the capture of their rtlHiH an ordinary course of law procedure, and after , a few days' wait, they put new stills in the old •pots. Mrs. E. R. Claiborne Dies in Baltimore Last Thursday at her home in Bal timore, Mrs. El'zabeth Ross Claiborne died after an illjiest luting, f«r *ev«ral months. Mrs. Claiborne has many friends here, where she visited her aunt, Mrs. K. B. Crawford, since childhood. They were deeply grieved to hear of her untimely death, she being only in her thirty-second year. . She is sur vived by her husband and a two-year old daughter. Special Services At Cedar Branch Sunday According to an announcement previously made, there will be a preaching service * Sunday afternoon at S o'clock at the Cedar Branch Church, near Jamesville. Rev. C. H. Dickey of the William &ton Baptist Church will preach the sermon. The general public ia invited to this service. ESTIMATES 14-15 CENT AVERAGE v OPENING HERE H. C. Gravely, of Washing ton, Writes of Situation In Georgia QUALITY IS POORER Says Farmers of This Section Will Probably Be Pleased With Prices For Common Tobacco Mr. H. C. Gravely writing in the Washington Progress reviews the to bacco situation in Georgia and fore casts an average of 14 to 16 cents for the crop in this section. Mr. Grave ly writes: Camilla, Ga., Aug. B.—Tobaccos were some stronger today and sales averaged 14 cents. Last Friday and Monday the sales dropped as law as 11 cents average. We are having rains every day and lots of wet to bacco is coming on the markets. The farmers are mighty blue and are sell ing their crop very slowly. It is doubtful if the Georgia crop will av eiage 15 cents. , I do not consider the. crop as good quality as last year's, It is too light. Export, Liggett & Myers, and Rey nolds are the haevicst buyers. There is lots of speculation. As to North Carolina prices, my guess is that the opening sale will av erage from 14 to 16 cents, and that the crop average will not be lower than 16 cents nor above 20 cents. 1 believe that our farmers will be fairly well pleased with prices on common and medium grades, but they are going to In sick with their fancy'prices. tSo far, 1 haven't seen a pile sell down here for over 25 cents. My ad vice to the farmer i? to try to cure the balance of their crop as orange color as possible and get it well ripe. There is very little competition on white to baccos. The Georgia farmers swear they will burn their barns and stop raising to bacco. One buyer got whipped Fri day at Moultrie by an angered farmer. There has beet? talk of stopping tin- sale-., I)Ut all that has blown over and perfect order prevailed today. 1 do not think that we can possibly sell this crop by the twenty-eighth of August, so I am expecting the North Carolina markets to be postponed a week, if Georgia can possibly get it done. PARTY LEADERS MEET BAYVIEW Democratic Chieftains of First District Perfect OrgVi ization A representative gathering of the leading Democrats of the district met with State Chairman Mull at Bayview last Wednesday to formu late plans for the political canfpaign in this section this fall.

STUDY FINDINGS OF COMMITTEE County and School Boards To Go Into Report Next Week Within the next few days, it is understood the county board of com missioners and the county board of education will meet to approve or disapprove certain recommendations submitted by a committee investigat ing the county budgets here this week. The recommendations * are merely suggestive in their nature, final action resting in the hands of the officials. * Many people are of the opinion that it will be impossible to make all the changes advocated by the committee of five men. Several of the suggested changes are at var iance law and can not be changed, and in other cases the au thorities might differ with the in vestigating committee as to whether it is advisabls_to make' the changes proposed towrmade. The meeting was an impromptu one, many people knowing\ nothing about it until the investigation of the budget was well underway. No definite date has been set when the officials will meet to discuss and pass upon the suggestions offered. It is understood, however, they will meet as soon as possible after the reports are submitted. ~ INSTRUCTION FOR MIDWIVES Graduate Nurse Here To Conduct School Under Health Board Miss Ednu Oliver, graduate nurse of the Bureau .of ; Infancy and Ma ternity of the State Board of Health of Raleigh arrived Here this week to give instruction to midwives in this county. Miss Oliver's work will be under the supervision of County Health Officer W. E. War ren. A large number is expected to receive the instruction which will be given over a period of four weeks. Recent resolutions passed by tht' Martin County Medical Society make it necessary all midwives to. at tend the short course of instruction. Speaking of the work, Dr. Wm. E. Warren stated yesterday that the Martin County Board of Health has adopted rules and regulations to con trol midwifery, which means protec tion 'to the public and that the medi cal profession of the county is thor oughly cooperating in the work. "Among other things it requires not only registration, but a course of instruction to be given by some repre tentative of the board of health. When tlrtse women have familiarized themspfves with the course of in struction, after due examination, they are drifted as to their pro ficiency in that part of the work. The next section that they must be temperate and free from contagious diseases, and must not use drugs habitually. One section prohibits the attendance of midwives on patients having the characteristics of those with marked swelling, accompanied by severe hemorrhages, convulsions, etc. Finally the law imposes a pen alty for failure to qualify and one section provides further, as a penalty that if any registered or licensed midwife fails to comply with any of these regulations her certificate may bo revoked and in addition thereto, she may be fined.
