fig ASSESS VOLUME XXXIII—NUMBER 21 MORE NAMES ARE ADDED TO RACE IN THIS COUNTY P, S. Powell Announces (or Office of Register of Deeds NOW EIGHT CONTESTS Twsnty-lonr Candida*** Are Now in The Contest lor Tan County Offices Interest in county politics went up several more points this week when Mr. F. S. Powell, of Parmele, filed for register of deeds and H. O. Peel an nounced for the county solicitorship against W. H. Coburn. With so many races scheduled, it now looks as if it will take two days to complete the first primary, not saying that there will be a second one; but it does look as if it will take more than one vote to determine the winners. With the announcement of three new candidates this week, the number of races now stands at eight, leaving only one or two more possible ones. The eight can become more complicated however. Mr. F. S. Powell announces his race for register after considering the mat ter several days. H. O. Peel and W. H. Coburn are creating a race to see who the people would have the commission ers appoint for solicitor of the record er's court. Prom 21 the early part of the week, the number of candidates now stands at $4, the 24 citizens running for ten offices. The race continues to warm up, and an interesting primary is assured.

Martin County , iVort/> Carolina, Friday, May 9,1930. A MILLION DROP IS EXPECTED IN ENTIRE COUNTY • Believe Valuation In This District Will Show no Great Change REPORT SIOO,OOO LOSS If Present Predictions Prove Pounded Property Valuations Will Be Around $15,-00,000 m ' 1 Unofficial reports coming from the several list-takers are that property valuations in this county are going to show a marked decrease, perhaps as much as a million dollars. In tine with this expected decrease, an increase at the tax rate is very likely to result. However, no definite conclusions can be . determined until the lists are all in and the budgets are prepared. Losses as-high as £1 tHMMMV have heen unofficially reported in more than two townships, other list-takers unhesitat ingly stating that they expected de creases but were uncertain as to the amounts. "We are not looking for a gain, but we believe the valuation will decrease but little," the list-taker for William ston Township stated yesterday after noon. If current predictions are to be con sidered, the county property valuation will rest around, the $15,100,000 mark for the 1930 tajf levy. Reporting on the valuation for the town of Williamston, Mr. W. T. Meadows, list-taker, was of the opin ion that it would be about the same and probably a small increase. The lists are due in the auditor's of fice here within the next few days, but it is believed that many of the record ers will be late, as the time for listing was changed, causing the work to be late in practically all the districts. BUSY TIME IN THE COUNTY OFFICES Over One Thousand Papers Recorded During the . Past Sixty Days The general *o-ca!led "hard time*" and the period of inactivity for business as a whole develops a different situa tin in the county office*—the office* that 10 many are aspiring to attain. Looking over the records late la*t night in the office of register of deed*, it wa* found that over" a thousand deeds, deeds of trust, chattel mortg ages, crop liens and notes had been en tered with descriptions during the past 60 days. Five hundred and forty of the papers were recorded in April. The same thing is happening in the clerk of the court's office, for hardly one court is over before another one is scheduled, and now for.. several months there has been always a jury in waiting. Down in the therifT* office, condi tions have been even more congetted. Extra clerk* have been made necessary during the past several weeks, and the number of paper* to be served has shown the greatest increase ever ex perienced in any one year in tty* coun ty- Commenting on the amount of work in hi*'office, Sheriff Roebuck stated last night that he had found it almost impossible to "politic" very much. Robersonville Collections Are Considered Good Tax collections in the town of Rob ersonville apparently reflect prosper ous times there, Collector A. S. Rob- M son finding it necessary to advertise the property of only IS owners, 11 white and 4 colored. The total taxes, $836.40, were scheduled for advertis ing today, it was unofficially learned here. While comparative figures are not available here, it is generally believed that under the present financial condi tions, the town there is reporting one of the best collections in this section.

NUMBER OF TAX DELINQUENTS IS DOUBLED HERE »' One Hundred and Seventy- Seven Parcels Escape Temporarily $7,394.46 UNCOLLECTED • List Carriss Names of 68 White and 100 Colored Property Owners One hundred and seventy-seven par cels of land in the town of William ston escaped the advertising list today as a result of a restraining order serv ed by individual taxpayers on Collect or W. B. Daniel yesterday morning. The relief is only temporary, as all property where the taxes have not been paid will eventually go on the block. Just when that class of prop erty goes up for sale will be determined the 24th of this month, when a hear ing will be held before a superior court judge in Wilson. The order also lim its the collector in levying on personal .ptoperAyr-it-was stated: — Pending the outebme of the restrain ing order earlier in the week, the treas urer's office continued its preparations for/ handling the sale of the property according to Uw. A survey of the list shows the names of 68 white real estate owners and 109 colored owners, the two combined, 177, being slightly more than twice as great as the num ber actually advertised last t season. Last year, the collector advertised the property of 85 owners, 30 white and SS colored. Of the entire levy, approximately $30,000, there remain uncollected at this time $7,394.46, it was learned from the treasurer's offioc yesterday.

Restraining Order Stops Sale Of Town And County Taxes ATTACKS CHAIN STORE SYSTEM IN TALK HERE • Rev. T. W. Thurston Speaks To Large Number of Colored People "You are rapidly closing the door of hoped," the Rev. T. W. Thurston, colored minister of New Bern, told more than 150 colored citizens here last night in a sound and logical speech relative to the "Chain Store Menace." Introduced by Professor VV. V. Ormond in a few well chosen words, the speaker gave the large court house auditorium audience much food for thought. I Completing his introductory remarks, muu»U>r- --stated- thirt trr could not understand why there should be "hard times" in this, the garden spot of the - world., He told of the natural resources of the State, and the strides industry had made, of favorable em ployment conditions at one time. And then, the chain store menace came. Its effect on living conditions and em-' ployment was ably presented by con crete and definite illustrations. "A fac tory closed down in my section a few days ago, and 100 men were thrown on the labor market at one time," the speaker declared. Continuing he said, "with no employment and no money to buy food, the hungry, were going to his church for help. Theretofore they had traded at the chain store, but when the jobs failed and their money was gone they were turned from the chain organizations to the community for help. Why sit by and let Wall Street suck the blood out of the coun try?" he asked. Addressing the members of his race, he told them they were facing eco nomic slavery, aud when one of them walked inlo a chain store he was doing nothing more than chaining himself," he declared. "We are facing an eco nomic, condition that is going to burn our fingers, unless we turn. Chain farms are on the way, chain everything will result unless we change." He pointed out why jobs were scarce, aud ably defended his stand iu the mat ter. The explained the several relations growing out of home pat ronage, convincing the members of audience that they were mirching slow ly to two house—the poor house or the jail house—when they patronized chain stores. ""Cheap peas, cheap tomatoes mean cheap labor," he declared, "and the fight against chain stores is the fight of all the people." Well acquainted with the great chain systems, he told how the or ganizations controlled the potato crop, the strawberry crop, placing a price on the two that was below the cost of production. "And by trading with them >•».* are tying the independent man's hands, making it impossible for him to'help you," he said, proving his state-, ment by a splendid illustration. In conclusion, he urged a close friendship among those with whom they lived, but warned against the a buse of credit. ♦ Presbyterians Announce Program of Services # Sunday, May 11, 1930: "The Church With An Open Door."

Upon his release Judge Reeves issued an injunction restraining him from carrying, selling, or possess ing liquor. In spite of the padlocking, Brown's ability to scout thirsty souls was as good as ever, Federal agents said. A wink, a flip of the coat tail, and Brown was followed into an alley where a sale was made. , One day Brown winked at one too many strangers. It was a Federal agent.

Daniel for the town. The order covers taxes for -Hte— Wyr-tf— w~ nndrrHfr».4 : - but it is not likely that any old ac counts will be exposed. Attorney B. A. Critchcr, represent ing Messrs. H. T. Roberson,, Luther Peel, I). D. Stalls, VV. L. Stalls, J. W." Biggs and W. H. Biggs, appeared be fore Judge N. A.

The case is returnable before Judge Sinclair in Wilson the 24th day of this month, aVwhich time both the county and town may be heard. When relief is assured only until the hearing in Wilson, it is practically certain that the judge will make the injunction per manent and fix a date for the final hear ing to be held perhaps some time in September or October. Investigating the tax situation iit the county at the present time, it is con cluded that the restraining order will be wartcGf led • approximately 1,000 property owners. Reporting his collec tions yesterday, Sheriff Roebuck stated that around $255,000 of' the $300,000 levy had been collected.
