Showing Made
IS KITCHENS SCORED
Hosnss in William? Chapel, Hamilton
And Other Communities To Be
Visited Next Week
"The 'Better Kitchens Campaign'
started ia the county this week is
meeting with much success, and the
women are taking a great deal of in
terest ia it," Miss Lora E. Sleeper,
home demonstration agent, stated yes
terday afternoon. Assisted by Miss
Pfculine Smith, special agent. Miss
Sleeper has scored 15 kitchens in the
contest so far, and according to pres
ent plans, kitchens representing prac
tically every section in the county will
have been scored in the contest. Miss
Smith was unable to continue the work
here this week, but she plans to re
turn next Friday and she, with Miss
Sleeper, will visit the homes in the
Williams Chapel, Hamilton, and other
communities at that time.
In the Robersonville, Holly Springs
and Ange Town communities, where
the 15 kitchens have been scored al
ready, the women are earnestly at
work in an effort to have their kitchens
rank high when the final scoring is
i made two months from now.
The contest, according to Miss
i Sleeper, is being carried on in an effort
to effect better arrangements within
the kitchen that will save time and
work. Toward this end the agents are
suggesting the grouping of cooking
utensils, the sdjustment of table legs,
the installation of water pipes and
sinks, snd dozens of other improve
ments that will lessen the burden of
the housewife in her kitchen work.
Miss sleep«r ; t vcr y anxious to have
every community in the county rep
resented in the contest, and any house
wife desiring to take part in the cam
paign is ssked to notify the agent's
office within the next day or two. The
contest does not necessarily call for
the expenditure of money, or no great
amount, anyway, but it is staged pri
marily to effect the arrangement of
preseat equipment to the very best pos
sible advantage.

Olive McCabe, Mary Belle Edmond- '
son, Grace Manning, Lawrence Linds
ay-
After the program, Mr. Davis an
nounced the decision of the judges
from the Woman's Club, who judged
the rooms for general appearance. All
rooms, according to their report, were
in very good condition, but the one
having the best array of Dupil exhibits,
the most effective display of charts,
pictures, etc., and the most attractive
arrangement of magazines and books
was the sixth grade. Miss Cole is
teacher of this grade, and no little
work has been done by the pupils un
der her direction. Miss Sample's sec
tion of the fourth grade ran i close
second with 94 pointa. The winning
room made 98 pointa out of the pos
sible 100.
The members of the association vis
ited these rooms after the meeting ad

being very favorably impressed with
the work the several teachers lud

INVESTIGATING
CHILD'S DEATH
——•
Two Negroes In Jail Here
May Be Charged With
Infanticide
+ '
Failure to procure a burial certi-,
ficate started an investigation in the ■
death and disposal of an illegimate ne-!
gro baby in Oak City this week. The
child's body, wrapped in a sack, was
buried soon after birth last Saturday
in the garden of the mother's parents
in Oak City, but the deed was not
called to the attention of authorities
until Wednesday.
, County officers investigated the
case in Oak City yesterday morning
and arrests wore ordered mode. Con
stable Early, of Oak City, took into ;
custody Walter Lee, the Negro who
buried the body, and the grand
mother, a woman by the name of
Davis. The two were brought here
and placed in jail where they were
questioned by Coroner Biggs and
other county officers. Lee and the
Davis woman were later released
The mother of the child, Minnie
Davis, was not question here yester
day afternoon.
While no warrant has been issued
charging infanticide, it is believed by
many that the child was killed. The
case was referred back to a justice
of the peace in Goose Nest township,
but as far as it could be learned this
morning, no disposition of the prefer
red charge has been made. Although
the removal of the body for an in
vestigation was considered at one
time, no such action has been taken qt
this time. That the body will be re
moved and an Investigation made, de
pends partly on the findings of the
J. P. court.

UP IN PLYMOUTH
CHURCH'S YARD ]
•
Heavy Iron Casket Was !
Thought To Contain
Valuable Papers
FIND BONES~OF CHILD ]
Child Believed To Have Been Mem- (
ber of Colonial Settlement; Find
Creates Much Interest
e
During the past several years or
longer there have been persistent ru- |
mors circulated in Plymouth indicat- |
ing that valuable papers and other ar- 
tides were buried in a strong box in I
the Grace Episcopal Church yard in I
that town. A few years ago while i
grave diggers were preparing a grave
for a body, they discovered the box, i
but at that time permission to remove :
the iron chest was refused. i
Gradually the runyrs increased to t
that point where action was demand
ed, and following the advice of church i
members and after obtaining legal I
rights, Rev. A. H. Marshall, rector of i
the church, had the box unearthed. It
was a rather exciting time, according (
to Mr. Marshall, when workmen un- |
der the supervision of the undertaker, |
Mr. Nurney, removed the 12 bolts and '|
two end locks and raised the lid. The ;
skeleton of a child was found, but no 
valuables were there. The child was ,
apparently about 6 years old at its t
death, and is believed to have been a i
member of a colonial settlement, as
the old fort was situated in that neigh- i
borhood. The skull, * a few small i
bones, and blonde hair were the only ,
parts of the body found in the casket.
A small pair of shoes and several old
fashioned China dress buttons were
also found. Apparently all the head
of hair was there with the exception
of that on the top, which was missing,
giving cause for the idea that the child
might have been killed by Indians and
scalped. However, this is the only evi
dence found that indicates this to be
true.
According to records dating hack 81
years and more, no stich casket had
been buried during these years. The
casket, patterned after the old Egyp
tian cases, is in an excellent state of
preservation and has an unbroken
glass breastplate. It Is said to weight
several hundred pounds.
The find is a very interesting one,
having much interest in the
Plymouth community. The vestry
there, with the rector of the church, |
have decided to rebury the remains
with the casket in the grave yard at
Plymouth.
MAY ESTABLISH
FISHERY HERE
New Yorkers Considering
Shipping Live Carp in
Carload Lots
The possibility*of catching and
shipping German carp by the car
load out of the Roanoke river was
being investigated yesterday by
Messrs. I. Schartsman and Marx
Epstein who were here from New
York to make a study of fishing on
the river. If they find conditions fav
orable to the undertaking, they state
shipments of live fish in tank cars
will be made to the New York mar
ket, where the carp is understood to
be in demand.
The two men are very much in
terested in the undertaking and have
secured permission from the State
Department of Conservation and De
velopment to catch the in, large
numbers. Special nets are being con
sidered for use in the venture, but
definite details concerning the project
are not available at this time.
County Game Warden Hines, of
Oak City, was here with Messrs.
Schwartrman and Epstein, assisting
in the preliminary investigations. Mr.
Schwartzman has been purchasing
fish in this section for a number of
years, but only recently has the
shipping of carp in carload quantities
been under consideration.
It is understood that there are car
loads and more of carp in the river,
but the trapping in such numbers, is
a problem within itself.
Carload of Dynamite
Is Due Here Soon
The car of dynamite ordered out
by farmers In Bertie, Hertford and
Martin counUes, will be placed here
tomorrow or Monday, sccording to
information received by County
Agent Brandon yesterday. Approxi
mately 9,000 of the 20,000 pounds
will be distributed among farmers in
this county, the other 11,000 pounds
going to farmers in Bertie and
Hertford counties.
This is the first shipment to be
con signed to this section this year,
and so far as it is known it will be
the only one thia season. A small
quantity of the material has not
been sold, and late orders will be
filled in the order received.
Th exact data for r distribution will
, be given upon the arrival of the car,
it is understood.

t
According to present plans,, the Vir
ginia Electric & Power Co. will start
placing poles on the streets here next
week preparatory to rebuilding •• the
light and power system. The system
has been surveyed and rebuilding plans
are practically complete for the work.
Attention of the citizens is called to
the proposed location of the poles hi
an effort to avoid unnecessary trouble
in making changes after the poles arc
set. The company, according to Mr.
Yates, who is in charge of the work,
will gladly make any changes desired
by the people at this time in locating
the poles.
Following the pole placements, a
crew of 25 or more men will be sent j
here to carry on the work. In re-1
building the system, service will not
be interfered with, it was stated by
Mr. Yates this week. However, to
offer the continuous service, it will
cause the rebuilding work to progress
vcry slowly, requiring approximately
two months to complete the task.
The present equipment in its en
tirety will be replaced with new ma
terial altogether, according to plans
of the company.

Represented If Program Is
To Be Approved
—
i wenty-five property owners, repre
senting 1979 feet of the street frontage
had sinned up until late yesterday eve
ning a petition Calling for sidewalk
paving on Main Street. Twenty-nine
property owners had been presented
with the petition during yesterday, and
only four property owners withheld
their names, the 25 signatures indicat
ing that the program will meet with
the favor of a majority of the prop
erly owners.
The tentative paving program for
"Main Street covers 4,068 feet of the
street from the hill on the upper end
to the brink of the hill, to the east.
As> the petition has" been signed by
property owners on both sides of the
street, it is necessary to take into con
sideration twice the distance of the
[ span. The 4,068 feet includes street
intersections, and when these are de
ducted the actual distance to be
paved is decreased to approximately
3,468 feet. This number doubled a
niounts to 6,936 feet, the 51 per cent
of which is 3,537 feet. Subtracting the
1,979 feet already signed, there are ap
proximately 1,558 feet necessary to put
the program for that street into effect.
Chief YV. B. Daniel, who has been
given the task of presenting the peti
tion to the property owners, will work
on llaughton Street upon the Comple
tion of the one for Main. Other
streets will be canvassed in similar or
der.
Petitions for street paving are beins
withheld until those having to do with
the sidewalks have been circulated.
Mr. Daniel stated this morning that
the work wis progressing nicely, but
lie refused to offer an opinion as to the
final result for the one street, Main. It
will require several days longer to pass
the petitions around and until the
work is completed, the exact outcome
of the town's paving program will re •
main unknown.
