TERMS MAY BE
SHORTENED IN
SOME COUNTIES
•
Not Likely That Any Such
Action Will Take Place
In Martin County
SUGGEST MANY PLANS
Poet-Dating Teacher»' Checks During
Last Few Month* of Term May
Be Necessary
While adverse Snancial conditions
are limiting all types of businesses
and curtailing public operations in
this section, it is not likely that the
schools will cut short their regular
terms this year, according to unof
ficial statements made this week by
Mr. P. H. Johnson, a member of the
State Equalisation Board. The finan
cial situation however, is Introducing
master problems for the officials and
various solutions are likely to be of
fered in an effort to provide the full
length terms. *
Several plans providing full-length
1 terms have been advance| by officials
in several eastern counties. The most
popular plan advanced so far would
have the county post date the teach
ers' checks, the plan being followed,
however, only in those cases where
funds are not available and where it
is impossible to borrow money with
which to operate the schools.
In several eastern counties, rumors
have been circulated to the effect that
the schools would be closed early. No
such rumors have been heard in this
county; but the situation is attract
ing much attention, and the problem
of finance is being closely studied by
officials, it is understood.
Rumors to the effect that the schools
of Bertie county would necessarily
have to close early this spring were
declared unfounded by Professor H.
W. Early, superintendent of the
schools of that county, yesterday. The
school head is quoted as saying,
"There is no foundation to the rumor
that the Bertie County Schools will
close early because of lack of funds.
The schools will run eight months this
year even If the county has to borrow
the money."

"Money Order Business Shows Big
Droy From Previous Year; Sales
Of Stamps Also "Off"
-
By t||e narrow pecuniary.,,margin of
$80.16, the local post office continues
in thif second-class list, the rating be
ing assured until 'July of next year.
While the office maintains its second
class rating, a marked decrease was
shown in the total receipts during the
yvar just ended. The loss in revenue,
according to reports furnished by Post
master Jesse T. Price yesterday, is dis
tributed throughout the office, the de
crease in stamp sales and money-order
fees being very marked. «'
—Starting- off'very well in the early
part of 1929, business in the local of
fice showed very little variation from
the previous year until the last quar
ter, when the bottom apparently fell
out. The money order business was
$•1,065.11 less last December# than it
was in the same month in 1928. Dur
ing the last quarter, stamp sales
dropped $545.61, the total stamp sales
in that period totaling $3,458.95.
When the tobacco market opened
and low the mail or
der houses yielded their stronghold "to
a certain extent, and the trade appealed
to the time merchant. From Septem
ber throughout the remainder of the
year, the money order business de
creased, falling from $1J,J70.46 in De-
Ctmher, 1928, to. $9,305.53 in Decem
btr, 1929. While the money order busr
iiiess continues unusually large, it is
diminishing gradually in this
and before the fall arrives many be
lieve the type of trade will be of lit
tle purport.
In 1928 stamp, box rent, and excess
receipts and postage on second and
third-class matter amounted to $12,-
88(i.l4. Last year the receipts from
these sources totaled $12,080.17, or a
drop of $545.61 from the record estab
11.'her in 1928.
New records in the business at the
Iccal office were established in Oc
itober, 1928, when the money _ order
business totaled $14,840.40, and'in the
last quarter of the same year when
stamp receipts reached the $4,004.56
irark.
Several offices in this part of the
State failed to-maintain their business
I records, and will go to a lower class
next July, it is understood.

Mother Believes Small Nephew Killed
Bab/VAlso Says Dog or Cat Could
Be Responsible for Death
'
Although fighting a stubborn re
sistance in the case growing out of the
death of Virginia Hinson, seven-weeks
old daughter of Warren W. Hinson
and wife Verna Hins'on, of near
Jamesville, this bounty, officers^were
of the opinion this morning that the
developments following endless ques
tioning would result in an indictment
within the next few hours.
Following the arrest of Warren
Hinson, the child's father, and Carrol
an uncle, the mother was
placed in jail to await developments
in the case. Interviewed-in their cells
at the jail, each of the trio has spok
en but little, the apparent trend of
•the facts pointing to the mother as
the guilty party. Gradually, officers
are narrowing the case down, and an
indictment is expected within the
next 24 hours.
Relatives of those more or less di
rectly involved in the case have been
slow to take a part in the affair, leav
ing the confined ones apparently to_
their own fate.
The father of the child states that
the killing could not have been done
by any other than his wife, or his
brother's wife, or one of the small
children. * ,
Mrs. Hinson, the mother of the
child, maintains her innocence, saying
that she believes the baby was killed
by the three and one-half years old
son of Carrol Hinson. In explaining
her belief, she states that the boy
must have thrown the baby on the
floor and killed it, that his mother
found the infant on the floor dead and
placed it back in the chair to shield
her own child. She also states that
either tlje dog or cat, both of which
were in the room with the baby, might
have killed it. She offered still an
other theory, stating this time that
j the child might have died from a fit,
that it had hail several during the first
three days of its life.
