VOLUME XXXI—NUMBER 91
COMMITTEE IS
NOW BUSY ON
PAVING PLANS
Recommendations Will Be
Presented to Town Board
Within Few Days
NO DEFINITE FIGURES
Committe Is Working on Tentative
Program of Paving Sidewalks
Only
The committee appointed by the
board of town commissioners at a
regular meeting last week to prepare
a tentative paving program for the
town has almost completed its work,
and the program will be presented to
the board some time within the next
few days, it was learned yesterday.
No definite facts as to the program
are obtainable at this time, but the
members of the committee, Messrs.
W. T. Meadows and E. P. Cunning
ham, have prepared a complete map of
the town and are now considering the
stieets to be included in the pro
gram.
This program, now in the making,
will include sidewalks only, it was
stated by one of the committee mem
bers yesterday. The recommendations
to be made to the board of commis
sioners will be limited to the paving
piogram, leaving the question of how
the money will be raised to the gen
eral board, it was learned.
While the committee ia in no posi
tion to give any definite figures at this
time, it is the general opinion of thoae
acquainted with paving costs than an
expenditure varying from twelve to
twenty thousand dollars will be neces
sary to build sidewalks on the princi
pal streets of the town.
OAKCITY SCHOOL
HAS GOOD WEEK
♦
Patrons and Pupils Coop
erating to Maintain
Attendance
•
Opening the winter-spring term
Monday of last week, the Oak City
school brought to a close a successful
week last Friday with a large per cent,
of the old pupils and a number of new
ones in attendance. Reports show a
few cases of influenza among the stu
dent body, however, it was stated by
the principal, Mr. H. M. Atnsley, that
bad roads are a greater handicap to
the school's attendance than the dis
ease. Unless there is a decided drop in
attendance, the authorities there state
that classes will be continfled as
urual.
Professor Ainsley stated that the
patrons and pupils are cooperating
wonderfully in an effort to maintain
a good attendance at this particular
time. Toward this end the following in
cident was related by the school's
head: "Friday morning truck number
five proved almost the impossible. The
truck got stuck in the mud and the
driver decided th£ only thing to do
was to walk aboyt two miles to town
Mnd get help. While he was gone
Miss Frances Council acted "Joan of
Arc" and dispatched pupils to a near
by farm house to secure some sacks
and boards. After placing all the pu
pils in a postlon to push and with the
aid of two colored men working on the
road, she took the wheel and proved
her efficiency by driving the truck in
and surprised the driver when she met
him with help on the edge of town.

The meeting of the Martin County
teachers scheduled to be held here next
Saturday has ben postponed until the
fourth Saturday, • the 26th of this
month, according to an announcement
made yesterday in the office of the
county superintendent, here. It was
first stated that the meeting would be
held according to the schedule adopted
some time ago, but after discussing
the matter with the county superin
tendent, President D. N. Hix, post
poned the meeting one week.
While it was not stated in the last
announcement, it is understood that
should the meeting be held next Sat
urday, the 'attendance would be small
as the Robersonville school is closed
and many teachers in other schools are
suffering attacks of influenza, making
it impossible for them to attend at this
time.
With the influenza epidemic subsid

of the association that the disease will
have spent itself and that a representa

Williarnston. Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, January 15,1929
RECEIPTS SHOW
$17,000 INCREASE
AT POST OFFICE
Largest Increase Is in Mail
Order Business; Totals
$16,658.44
OCTOBER SALES LEAD
a i
Stamp Sale Showi Small Increase;
Service Haa Been Greatly Improved
During Past Decade
An increase of $17,387.89 in . the
stamp and money order business was
reported for the local postoflice dur
ing the year 1928, according to Post
master Jesse T. Price. This gain is
in keeping with former ones, Mr,
Price stated and reflects the growth of
the postal business here during the 12
months period just ended. Dividing
this "increase, the report shows that
there was a jump of $729.45 in stamp
receipts and one amounting to $16,-
658.44 in money orders issued, was re
ported.
During the year, the local post office
issued 10,402 money orders as com
pared with 10,080 sold in. 1927, show
a gain of 322 orders, These orders,
representing $123,659.65, varied in
denominations from a few cents to
SIOO, the highest amount an order
can be issued for. The greater number
ranged in the sphere of small figures,
it waa stated. In 1927, the 10,080 or
ders represented cash in the sum of
$107,001.21.
The stamp sale more accurately re
flects the growth of the local office
than does the records kept on money
orders, the postmaster said. In 1927,
the office sold $12,156.66 worth of the
little atickers, white last year the sale
bounced up to $12,886.14, an increase
of $729.45.
Each month in the year 1928 led the
corresponding nfonth during 1927 in
both features of the business. The
peak in the money order business was
reached in October when $14,804.40
were paid out for the orders. The
greatest gain in the money order busi
nes was recorded in the early part of
the year, while toward the last of the
period, the months' business for the
two years varied very little in amounts.
.Willi this increase in business has
gone hand in hand the service of the
office. "About 1907 we would get the
News and Observer at 6:30 in the
evening; now we get the paper short
ly after 7 o'clock in the momffig,"
Mr. Price stated in describing the rise
of the local office as to the volume of
business and service offered.
Eleven employees are required to
to handle the mail in the local office,
and with business increasing at the
rate recorded in the past few months,
additional help will be necessary, it is
believed. The rural business handled
over the five routes is much larger
than ia ordinarily believed, Mr. Price
stating that a targe percentage of the
receipts come from those patron*.
Since moving to new quarters in the
Staton building hardly more than a
year ago, the office has experienced
such a big increase in business that it
will be only a matter of a kw years
before more space will have t® be pro
vided. When the mail is delivered
Ityre for the Windsor star route, the
local office is, aa a rule, badly crowded
and during the busy months, there is
hardly more than enough room for the
employees to walk. In spite of this,
however, Postmaster Price and his
assistants are offering a service as
good if not better than any office to be
tound anywhere.
Mr. Price has been in the service
here a number of years and he says
that the growth of the local office dur
ing the past few years has been more
marked than that of any other period.

CAR ANDLIQUOR
ARE CAPTURED
_ 4
Dodge Touring Car and 13
1-2 Gallons Liquor Seized
On Jamesville Road
A Dodge touring car, thought to
have belonged to J. S Hassell, of
Rosemary, N. C., and thirteen and one
half gallons oflliquorr r were captured
between here and Jamesville on Route
No. 90.
During the earlier part of the day
the officer with his son had visited in
the Jamesville section, and while re
turning home, Mr. Roebuck saw a car
parked in a small wood near Salome
church. The officer stopped his car
and went back to investigate Going
to the scene, the officer and his son
saw thre men packing the liquor and
three bootleggers assisting in the oper
ations. Activities ceased immediately
when the officer drew near enough
for the six men to recognize him, and
they fled to parts unknown with great
haste. The car was left behind and the
27 one-half gallon jars of liquor were
securely packed, ready for travel.
The car carried a N. C. license tag
numbered 293,222 and its motor
number was 368,708. Several marks of
identification in the form of bank
books, and other articles were
left in the car and bore the name of
J. S. Hassell, Rosemary. The machine
is here in storage where it will remain
utnil instructions are received from
prohibition authorities. The liquor is
being held in the courthouse.
Investigating the case more thor*
oughly, Mr. Roebuck learned that the
liquor had been purchased in the Free
Lnion section Friday night, and that
the heavy rain that night had drowned
the car, forcing the driver and occu
pants to hide the liquor along the road
in a snial wood until the car could be
pulled to a local garage for repairs.
Returning to the liquor's hiding place
Saturday afternoon, the transporters
were too bold with their re-loading
operations and attracted the attention
oi the officer while he was returning
home from the Jamesville neighbor
hood.
No arrests have been made s6 far in
the case, it is understood. •
LOCALS DEFEAT

Coach Hood's high school basket
ball boys, in one of their best games
of the peason, defeated Winterville's
strong team 89 to 18 here last Friday
night in the Brick warehouse. The
game was hotly contested, much more |
so than the score would indicate.
The visitors put up a determined
fight, but the locals held their own
and led practically all the way thru
the game. • ,
Indications are that Coach Htfod is
turning out a winning team in the
realm of basketball, however, more
drastic tests will be made as the sea
son advances.
The same night the local girls de
feated those of Winterville in a game
here, 24 to 6.
Tonight the two teams are sche
duled to play return games with the
Windsor girls and boys there, and
Thursday night they are to meet the

COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD HOLDS
MEETING HERE
| »
Minor Changes in School
Building Here Are
Approved
|MAY CLOSE HURST
a
Unless Average Daily Attendance of
IS Is Maintained, School Will *
Have To Be Closed
*—
While the business coming before
the Martin County Board of Educa
tion was of no great importance yes
terday, all matter* referred to the body
j were discussed and placed in the min
| utes of the meet. All members of the
board were present and the session
was closed about the noon hour.
Considering the attendance in the
Hurst school, the board decided that
an average of 15 pupils daily would be
necessary in continuing the school,
that in the advent the community fail
ed to maintain this average the school
would necessarily be closed. Should
the school fall below this average in
its daily attendance and be' closed,
the pupils will be at liberty to con
tinue their work in the Everetts school,
it was learned.
The one or two minor changes in
the local school building suggested by
the local school board were o. kehed
by the county body, and the alterations
will be made as the construction work
is being carried on. These changes, it
was pointed out, will not add any cost
to the original contract price and will
gieatly aid the school in meeting the
demands of the pupils now enrolled.
By one of the changes two rooms art
provided for science laboratories in
stead of one room for laboratory work
and another for science classes. A sec
ond change makes possible the crea
tion of a commercial class, substituting
for vocational agriculture. The latter
course, according to attendance rec
ords, past and present, will not be
necessary within the next several
years, and during that time the com
mercial course can be made available
for those pupils desiring training in
that work. As a means of better safe
guarding the children, electric wires
were ordered run underground to the
building instead, of in the air as was
first planned.
The purpose of the changes recom
mended by the local school .committee
was very well received by the county
board, the members of which expressed
themselves as being heartly in favor of
tin county having one standard accred
ited .commercial school. These changes
were recommended as the groundwork
for such a school.
Other general % matters were brought
before the board, but in ..each .case,
the busines was of only passing im
portance.

sioners Monday?" a reporter asked at
the courthouse yesterday.
"Why yes", responded a board
member, "we shall take definite ac
tion on a matter laid before us by
the W. C. T. U. This body has
asked that Buncombe county observe
Wednesdsy, the ninth birthday of
national prohibition by tolling the
courthouse bell nine times."
"Well, I suppose the request is
going to receive favorable consider
ation?''
t "Yes, 1 suppose so, this year, though
I am speaking only for myself. I
don't know what we'll do about it
when the tenth birthday comes
around. There's no bell on the new
courthouse, you know, and the qld
courthouse will probably be torn
down by then."

HUNT ALL OVER
TOWN FOR FIRE
j «——
Stove Roaring Was Cause
Of Alarm Turned in
Saturday
*
Thinking her house was burning
when she heard the fire in a cook stove
roar, a member of the Henry Beach
family ordered, the fire alarm sound
ed and caused a general commotion
of firemen and townspeople here last
Saturday shortly after the lunch liour.
So loudly did the stove fire roar that
those near-by thought the building was
burning in the attic, and naturally they
wanted the assistance of the fire com
pany. Grover Wynh raced to the
fire station, and reported that Henry
Beach's house was burning,
For several minutes while the vol
unteer firemen assembled at the fire
house, the sirene poured forth its
deafening sound, causing a temporary
suspension of the regular Saturday i
btisines while the customers and clerks I
gathered on the streets to sec the fire
apparatus go out. And- the people to J
the sidelines were given two oppor
tunities to see the apparatus pass.
The extra run was not intentional,
however, for in giving the alarm it
was not stated whether the structure
burning was the Beach house on
ilaughton street or the residence, near
the Blount Manufacturing Company
a*, the railroad oil Smithwick street.
Alter the truck was carried several
blocks up Main street, the chief gave
otders to ,turn around and',a quick
d«rt was made to the house across
the railroad. Here the firemen were
fooled again along with a countless
number of spectators traveling in as
many automobiles.
The head of the house had come
out to see all the commotion near
hi> door, and when asked it his hou>c
was burning, he said no. Chief Harri
son investigated the source of the
alarm, learning that young Wynn
had ordered the company out in good
faith at the request of one of the
numbers of the Beach family who was
exercising advance precaution against
fire. . y
N'o blame was attached to those
making the call, but the doings of
many automobile drivers while the call
was being answered will likely lead
to enforcement of ordinances supposed
to be in effect while the fire company
is on its way to a fire.

\V'e can't determine which is af

professor in the Jamesville schools,
stated yesterday when asked about the
number of absences in the school there.
While he was not certain, the profes
sor stated that the influenza epidemic
was not so bad in their school com-
I
munity, and that he believed the bad
roads and hog killings were respon
sible for the large percentage of the
absences.
The school man said that the num
ber of absences was greater than is
tlu case usually, but that this number
is not as large as one would expect
under the present conditions. School
authorities will not stop the work

Each Meeting
PUTS QUALITY FIRST
Recommends Smaller Acreage With
Better Yield Per Acre and
Better Quality
»
Interested in better methods of
growing tobacco, eighty Martin Coun
ty farmers met with County Agent
Brandon and E. Y. Floyd, tobacco
specialist, here yesterday afternoon
and at Jamesville last night, when
the production of the crop was dis
cussed from the time the plant bed is
prepared until the leaf is ready for
the market. Forty or more farmers
attended the meeting here yesterday
afternoon in the courthouse and lis
tened attentively to the suggestion .
made by Mr. Floyd who has made
tobacco tests all over the belt and
several right here in this county.
Mr. Floyd's treatment of the sub
ject y/hs not based on theory, but
rather it was given as found from
various and practical tests. Quantity
was made secondary in the tobacco
specialist's discussion, he stating that
larger returns would result from the
production of better quality and a
bigger yield per acre. A decrease in
acreage is being encouraged not only
by the tobacco specialist but also by
others acquainted with the crop pro
ductions
In stressing better quality, Mr.
Floyd urged the use of only the best
adapted varieties for cigarette trade.
Theso varieties include, Cash, White
Stem, Oronoca, Jamaica Wrapper and
Bonanza. To get seed of good origin,
it was suggested that the growers
see County Agent Brandon who is in
a position to direct them to seed
sources. The preparation of the plant
bed was pointed out to be an im
portant step in the production of the
crop, since a good bed insures proper
transplanting at the right time. The
instructor stated that sufficient beds
for the acreage to be planted should
be prepared. "The Selection and
Preparation of Plant Beds'' in folder
form, is being prepared and will be
in the hands of County Agent Bran
don within the next few days. Mr.
Floyd urged the farmers to call on
Mr. Brandon for one of these folders
as they contain useful information re
lating to the preparation of plant
beds.
Proper fertilization of the crop was
considered in detail by the specialist
and the farmers at both of the meet
ings, Mr. Floyd giving the facts that
have been determined in tests in this
county and in others throughout the
belt. "Be sure to have materials in
the fertilizers that give best results*
taking into consideration the types of
soil and other factors common to the
particular farm," it was stated by
the agriculturist. These materials
should include nitrate of soda, sul
phate of ammonia for the mineral
nitrogen. Cottonseed meal, fish or
tankage, or blood or Peruvian guano
were given as the best sources of or
ganic nitrogen for the crop. The min
eral should be 60 per cent and th e or
ganic mutter," 50 per cent. The pot
ash, to give best results, should not
exceed two. per cent, from high
grade muriate of potash. The re
mainder of the potash should be from
sulphate of potash or potash of mag
nesia. The best analysis, according
to the tobacco man, for use on the
average type of Martin County soil,
should he an 8-4-6 fertiliser, made
up of materials already mentioned.
This analysis, according to the many
tests made, will produce a better
quality as well as make a larger
yield per acre.
The l&st factors in' the production
of tobacco as mentioned in the meet
ings have to do with the method of
cultivation, disease and insect con
trol. In this connection, the county
agent has bee'n provided with bul
letins, describing the best methods to
be followed in detail.
Mr. Floyd, who is considered one
of the leading tobacco specialists in
the State, said this morning that he
is well pleased with the interest
shown by tobacco farmers in this sec
tion, and gave as his opinion that
better quality tobacco will be grown
in the future than has been raised in
past years.
At the Jamosville meeting held in
the school house there last night, the
discussion continued for more than
two hoars, and while no one express
ed himself, It is believed that the
farmers attending were well repaid
for their Journey over bad roads to
be at the meeting.
Mr. Floyd Is in Washington county
today and tomorrow be goes to Bar
tie where he will hold meetings,
