With 160 popil* and 3 teacher* ab
sent from classes yesterday in the Rob

ing upon the advice of physicians,
closed the school for a two weeks'
period, or until the influenza epidemic
now raging there subsides, it was stat
ed in an announcement made by Prin
cipal R. I. Leake yesterday afternoon.
The large number of absentees brought
about by the disease called for immedi
ate action, and after discussing the
situation with Robersonville physic
ians and school committeemen yester
day morning, the suspension of work
for two weeks was announced by Mr.
Leake that afternoon,
t While it was not stated in the an
nouncement that the sudden closing
was ordered as a precautionary meas
ure, two reasons were advanced for the
suspension of class work. Those stu
who were absent could not get the
benefit of daily class work and would
naturally fall behind in their studies,"
was given as one of the main rea
sons for the board's action. It was
also pointed out that the low average
daily attendance would cause the
school to lose at .least two teachers
for the 1929-30 term, as apportioned
by the State Department of Educa
tion.
Several of the teachers there left

SEVERAL HURT IN
SAUSAGE MILLS
Alonzo Revels and Dan
Jones Painfully Hurt
At Hog Killings
The modem way of grinding sausage
meat in this section is proving costly
to many farmers. Yesterday Alonso
Revels, farmer in Griffins Township,
liad the tip of one of his fingers
chewed off in one of the sausage mills,
and earlier in the week Dan Jones, an
other farmer, suffered > similar hurt.
Both men were rushed here, where lo
cal doctors bandaged their fingers.
While the wounds are not considered
serious, they were said to be very
painful.. It is thought that neither of
tlie victims will be greatly handicapped
as to the use of his fingers after the
wounds heal.
During the past two or three years,
practically all the larger farmers in
this section have improvised power
methods for grinding their meats. The
rtar end of a Ford is jacked up and
a pulley attached to the wheel is the
source of power for turning the meat
grinding machine, in many instances.
The method is said to be very success
ful, but, at the same time, it is danger
ous. Several others farmers are un
derstood to have been slightly hurt in
the machines, but the two accidents
this week are said to be the worst yet
reported in this immediate section,

HOME AGENT'S
WORK OUTLINED
To Stage Kitchen Contest
During Spring; Food
Work Continued
By LORA I. BLEEPER
(Martin County Home Demonstration
Agent)
The regular schedule of club meet
ings has been carried this week. The
women of Ange Town held their reg
ular meetings on Monday. Many of
the club members throughout the coun
ty have been victims of influenza. One
club was unable to have its meeting
owing to illness of its members.
The women's clufis throughout the
county are continuing food work this
year. All members carrying out prac
tices learned at the meetings and com
pleting two years work in foods will
receive certificates. This should be an
inducement to the women of the vari
ous clubs. The second year's work
will be composed of the following
demonstrations, "Study of Meats and
Meat Cookery," "Meat substitutes,"
"salads," "breads," etc. Miss Mary E.
Thomas plans to visit Martin County
frequently this year to conduct nutri
tion schools with the leaders.
There will be a kitchen contest this
Fourteen women in the coun
ty have signed up for this so far.
There should be many more interest
ed. This will be open to those out
side of club membership. Three com
munities so far represented. Miss
Pauline Smith will score the kitchens
first and return a few weeks later to
sec how much improvement has been
made. At the present time Miss Smith
is ill but expects to be improved in a
few days so this work will go on.
Warning
Many of the people in Martin Coun
ty are now busy with their annual hog
killing. All women ahould keep in
mind that the hog is chiefly fat and
very easy to spoil. It should be kept
in a cool, clean place away from flics.
There are more bacteria living in hog
meat than any other meat eaten, which
makes spoilage frequent, It is possible
to can hog meat, but in doing so the
meat should be canned in a pressure
cooker only, to insure the meat against
spoilage. It ia well, even at this time,
to keep the fair in mind and can in
clear glass, glass-top jars, either pints
or quarts. • '

MORE ALARMS; *
SMALLER FIRE
LOSS LAST YEAR
• -
Fire Company Had 23 Calls
Last Against 10 for
Year Before
TOTAL LOSS BUT $8,270
Damage DuHhg Past Yesr Wss More
Evenly Distributed; Four Losses
Of Over tl.ooo
While alarms were greater by 13
last year than they were the year be
fore, Williamston's fire loss in 1928
was only $8,270, as compared with a
loss totalling $14,100 in 1927. Where
the loss was confined mainly to one or
two fires during 1927, damage during
the year just ended was more evenly
scattered, several buildings valued a
bove the sl,ooo-mark having been
burned.
According to records kept by the
chief of the local volunteer company,
the greatest loss incurred was when
the negr6' school building burned. The
next heaviest loss was the fire destroy
ing the Garden Terrace property. Es
timated loss from the fire burning the
garage and automobile of Mr. J. G.
Godard, jr., was placed at $1,500, this
being the third largest fire loss here
during 1928. Only one other fire ran
as high as the SI,OOO mark, and that
was the burning of Harrison Bros.
& Company's stables.
In 1927 ten alarms were turned .in,
but only nine of them were answered
by the members of the volunteer com
pany, the tenth one being a false alarm
on Christmas night. Where, in 1927,
the siren remained silent from the lat
ter part of January to September, the
dtafening whistle was heard in prac
tically ever month during 1928. In
January of last year five alarms were
turned in. There were four calls in
March and three in September, the
month the company answered calls to
two big fires within 24 hours of each
other.
The cause of several of the fires is
a mystery and will probably remain
secret. However, the records show
that the majority of the fires were
stared by defective flues or sparks
dropping on roofs. While there is no
pfoof to substantiate a claim, it is be
lieved by members of the fire com
pany that two of the buildings were
fired intentionally. Several of the
blazes occurring during the year
were the result of carelessness.
Of the 23 fires reported, 11 were of
so little consequence that damage rec
ords were not kept. In six other in
stances the damage varied from $S to
sls. _ ' j
In answering the 23 alarms, Chief
H. D. Harrison and„ the members of
the volunteer company responded
splendidly and did exceptional work in
checking what looked to be disastrous
blazes. The chief and his company
associates, while they are willing to
offer their best services in fighting
fires, are urging the people to cooper
ate with them in preventing fires and
possible loss of life and property.

Farmers (ft Merchants Bank
Presents a Good Statement
*
The statement of the
Merchant* Bank published in our lart"
issue ahows a healthy recovery from
the black year of 1924. Local bankers
say that 1924 was the worst year
ever experienced in banking. In the
early spring of 1925 the Savings and
Trust bank closed and at that time
the deposits of the Farmers and Mer
chants Bank had dropped to $200,-
000 and during the following summer
its deposits dropped to $125,000.
Very few banks could stand such a
drastic drop in its deposits, but the
local institution stood the test and
new carries deposits in the sum of
$805,344.68.
This bank is one of the strongest
in the State, and today it has the
confidence of the people which it
deserves. It has stood this drop in
deposits and yet has not made any
unreasonable deniands on the people
to whom it lends money. It has -
policy of liberal loans on absolute
safety to its depositors and after al'
has been said in banking, the careful
making of loans is the backbone of
safety for the community and a bank
is the holder of the community poc
ket book.

50 Farmer-Members of Fire
Insurance Association
In Meeting Here
With approximately fifty farmer
members present, plans of the oper
ation of the Martin County Branch
of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur
ance association during 1928 were
made at an annual meeting held in
the courthouse here last Tuesday.
Various reports were made concern
ing the operation of the association
during the year just closed, and of
ficers were elected for 1928.
The Martin County branch of the
association has, in its 35 years of
operation, grown to be a million and
a quarter dollar institution, carrying
insurance covering losses caused by
fire, wind and lightning. Offering this
protection, the report rendered at the
Tuesday meeting showed where evry
claim had been paid during 1928 and
that the average cost per thousand
was around $3.16. In th e cyclone de
struction • few years ago the cost
ran as high as (10 on the SI,OOO
property insured, but during several
years, the cost has been less than $1
ond the one thousand dollar property
insurance.
The condition of the company, ac
cording to th eannual report, is bet
ter than ever in the life of the as
sociation, an increase of eight per
cent in insurance and an increase of
23 per cent in cash on hand being re
ported for 1928.
It has been the policy of the or
ganization to assess only such sums
ns were actually necessary to pay
losses and no surplus has been laid'
jiside. The 682 members say they pre
fer keeping their money in their
own hands until needed rather than
to create a large fund to keep idle.
The loyalty of the membership has
proven, for more than a third of a
ceuntry, that the companyUs safe and
sound.
The following township directors
were elected for this year: James

LOCAL SCHOOL
NOT TO CLOSE
Attendance Is Holding Up
Remarkably Well, Say
Authorities
A ♦
''Unless the influenza epidemic
rckches larger proportions, the local
school will continue to operate," it
was stated last night by local authori
ties. While the number of absences
in the local school is greater than usu
al, the situation is not to be consid
ered alarming, it was stated by the
principal, Mr. L. H. Davis, last night.
According to statements made by
physicians all over the country, the
closing of the schools can hardly be
considered as a precautionary measure.
However, when the number of ab
sences reach that proportion where
fiw more than half the pupils are able
to avail themselves of the class instruc
tion, then it is no more thai) right to
close, it was pointed out. ,
Reports from all over the county
shows that the number of absences in
the schools is much greater than usu
al In the rural districts, the number
of absences it attributed to the many
hog killing! and unfavorable weather
rather than to the influenza epidemic.
So far at reportt could be checked,
it is believed that the Robertonville
community it suffering mott from the
malady. And where conditiont were
thought to be favorable last Monday,
contidering the scope of the disease,
a sudden turn for the worse was re
corded yesterday.

LOCAL SCHOOL
BOARD MEETS
Several Minor Changes in
New School Building
Are Suggested
Meeting last Wednesday night for
the first time in the new year, the lo
cal school board appointed a commit
tee to go before the county educational
board next' Monday with a proposal
to make two or three minor changes in
the construction of the new school
building here. These changes, minor
a? far as construction is concerned,
will be necessary to meet the needs of
the local school as it is now operating.
One bf the proposed changes has to
do with the science department, and
where the pl|ns call for a science lab
oratory and a science class room, the
local committee considers it better to
have two laboratories and no class
room for the science department. In
another proposed change, the commit
tee would have the rooms planned fpr
vocational agriculture constructed so
as to be used by a commercial depart
ment.
These changes, it was stated by a
member of the local school board, will
bf necessary to meet the conditions as
they are now and will be during the
next 10 years. In explaining the rea
son for the proposed changes, the
board member stated thai while there
art a number of rural children in the
lower grades, it will be at least ten
years before the high school reached
that point, where the number of rural
.students would be large enough to jus
tify a course in vocational agriculture.
To receive State aid for vocational ag
riculture in a school, the school has to
enroll at least 30 in that course, it was
pointed out by the lotal principal yes
terday. If these proposed changes
meet with the county board's approv
al, the preparatory work to an accred
ited commercial school will have been
dene. ' \
In an effort to bring athletics in the
local school under a more uniform con
trol, the board, in its meeting Wednes
day, placed all sports under the super
vision of . the principal and one mem
ber of the board. It will be the duty
of the. principal and the board mem
ber, according to the decision reached
at the meeting, to supervise equipment
purchases and the care of alt athletic
property. In geueral the board repre
sentative and the principal will assist in
all business transactions and see that
all records are properly filed and kept.

ESTABLISHED 18M
TOBACCO HEADS
LIST WITH TOTAL
OF 354 CARLOADS
All Previous Records Brok
en By Shipments From
This Point
134 CARS OF PEANUTS
Cotton la Close Third With 122 Car
loads; Boat Line Handles Large
Proportion oi Freight
Seven hundred and thirty-seven solid
carloads of peanuts, cotton, tobacco,
lumbtf-, logs, Irish potatoes, and corn
were shipped from this point during
the last six months of the year just
ended, according to shipping records
at the Atlantic Coast Line station and
the office of the Norfolk, Baltimore &
Carolina Boat Line. A review of the
i shipments from this point during the *
past several years shows that the out
going freight in the last six months oi
1928 equalled and surpassed all former
records.
According to the records, tobacco
topped the list of |hipments, around
354 carloads of that commodity being
shipped out during the period. There
were a number of shipments made in
less than carload lots, and when these
are counted in with the 354 carloads,
it is estimated that more than 6,006
h gsheads of tobacco wcjj. thipi>ed out
during the six-months periods
The lowly peanut came in to claim
second place in the shipment rating.
A total of 134 cars, or approximately
3K, 15*> bags were shipped to th« Urge
peanut markets in Norfolk and Suffolk
during tlic six months. Cotton was
next in order, 122 carloads of the com
modity being shipped to bonded ware
houses in Virginia mainly. The ship
mint, numbering 3,650 bales, coniti
titles almost one-half the cotton crop
raised in the county. However, a large •
number of bales were brought here
for-shipment over the Norfolk, Balti
more & Carolina Boat Line from sev
eral of the surrounding counties. Oak
t ity is said to be the best cotton cen
ter in the county, and when fltc ship
ment are confined to the ftne county,
that town will lead in the number oi
bales freighted to the markets.
The log and lumber business carried
on in the section during the six months
period is not to be ignored, for ship
ments of logs and manufactured lum
ber totaled 06 cars. Approximately 40
carloads of lumber manufactured at
the Murray & McCabe mill here were
shipped to points all over the several
adjoining States and Maryland. Log
shipments totaled around 26 cars by
rail and approximately 300 by barge.
Irish potatoes yvp* the next largest
single commodity shipment; only 15
carloads of the farm product being
shipped, however.
The lone feature of the shipping rec
ords was one car of corn. There were
several smaller shipments of corn, but
1n all the amount billed out was very
small.
Other freight, handled in carload
lots, totaled 45 carloadi. Cross-ties
and various other articles constituted
the shipments included in, the 45 cars.
While ..tlicso shipments were started
in July, the majority of the commodi
ties mentioned were handled in Oc
tober, November, and December. Long
lines of box cars were pulled from the
sidings here practically "every week
day, while the Norfolk, Baltimore &
Carolina line was running extra boats
to care for the shippers' demands.
Solid boat loads of cotton left here
day after day, and in less than three
months' time, the boat line bandied
over 3,611 bales of cotton, 9,359 bags
of peanuts,'' and 1,096 hogsheads of
tobacco.
H To combine the shipments into one
large one, a train six miles long would
he necessary to move all the commodi
ties at one time.
With these shipments constituting
only a part of the county's commodi
ties, one can well imagine the import
ance of agriculture here.
