VOLUME XXXII—NUMBER 48 Williamston. Martin County. North Carolina, Tuesday, August 12,1930. ESTABLISHED 1898
COMMISSIONERS FIX COUNTY TAX RATE AT $1.34 FOR 1930
DISCUSS COUNTY
1 SCHOOL BUDGET
I AT MEET FRIDAY
Meeting Favored Hiring All
"Earned" Teachers for
Next School Term
| ASKED FOR OPINIONS
Commissioners Deduct Approximately!
910,000 From School Budget
To Maintain Same Rate
Scientists are said to have often j
wondered what would happen should |
two unstoppable forces meet. Well,,
nothing happened here last Friday
night when the two county boards,
with a number of school committee
men, met and discussed the school
committeemen met and discussed the'
school budget. Chairman Slade ad
i vanced the subject—whether to raise
the tax rate ten cents and hire all
"earned" teachers, or whether to allow
the rate to remain the same and hire|
none of the "earned" teachers.
A great wrangle was under way, the
group expressing itself as highly in
iavor of hiring the. teachers, but
liked to see the tax rate increased.
Mr. G. H, Cox recommended that
deductions be made in other county
departments, adding that schools
should be the last thing to be par
. alyzed. He urged that precaution !
should be present in settling the mat- |
ter. Chairman Slade stated that if the
rate was to remain unchanged, the
school budget would have to bear the
cut, for the other departments were
more or less fixed.
Several of the committees, when call
ed on for their opinions, stood on mid
dle ground, and it was with hesitancy
that they stated their position as fa
voring the increase rather than the un
-4 changed rate and a limited number of
teachers. Chairman Slade insisted
that they offer their opinions and five
oi the school committees present de
cided in favor of the increased rate.
A compromise shot at the two coun
ty agent offices was fixed, but the di
rect value of the demonstration work,
when pointed out, shifted the scene of
the attack.
The discussion had been under way
for almost an hour and yet no relief
was in sight. Upon motion of the
» chairman of the board of education,
the list of earned teachers was read and
discussed. After a continued discus
sion, Mr. J. A. Everett made a motion
to accept the budget, and when the
count was finally taken, five commit
tees voted for it and one against. Rob
ersonville, voting against the measure
at first, rescinded its action and made
the count unanimous.
The commissioners and educational
members retired to their chambers, but
action was stopped when Mr. T. C.
Griffin's motion to leave the rate un
changed received only a second. Ihe
meeting was adjourned until yesterday
j afternoon at 3:30, when the raia was
finally adopted.
NO ROANOKE
FAIR THIS YEAR
No Official Announcement
Made as To Holding
Future Fairs
•
There will be no Roanoke Fair here
this year, it was officially announced
by the secretary of the Roanoke Fair
» Association yesterday. The announce
ment followed the schedule of dates
compiled this week by T. B. Smith,
secretary of the State fair. When
" questioned yesterday the local secre
tary stated that the fair would be sus
pended temporarily, but no official an
nouncement was made relative to hold
ing a fair next year was advanced.
The forty-seven fairs to be held this
year are located all over the State, the
Coastal Plain and Pitt County fairs
being the nearest here.
Many changes are being made in
the fair programs, it was unofficially
learned, but the exact nature of these
changes was not given. It is under
stood, however, that racing will not M
included in several of the fair pro
, grams.
Seventeen Babies Born On
One Farm in This County
That Governor Gardner's "Live-at-
Home" program is befcur closely ad
hered to in this county was evidenced
this week when it was reported that
——HffßMen babies had been t>orn on one
farm in Hamilton Township so far this
year. Apparently, Mr. J. A. Everett
owner of the unusually large farm in
'that district, is planning not to import
any labor for years to come, as they
are raising their own.
I A large majority of the births is con
fined to the colored race, it was stated.
The vital statistics' were not report

THE ENTERPRISE
Church Dispute Similar To
One At Smith
SECOND BREAK
OF MEMBERS IN
ASSOCIATION
•
Criticise Elder N. Harrison
When He Offers His
Services To All
LOCK OUT 1 MAJORITY
a,
Majority Faction Said To Have Fore
cd An Entrance To Conduct
Services Aa Usual
A further division of members in
thi Kehukee Association of the Prim- 1
itive Baptist Church resulted in Wash- j
ington county last month when about
six elders arc said to have met at the
Morattoc Meeting House and formed
"a conference . . to divide the
Church." Thus develops a case similar
to the now famous Smithwick's Creek
affair that only recently attracted much
attention locally and throughout the a
SttTPT
While the facts resulting in the
division are not definitely known, it is
understood that the break came 1
when a minority faction declared it
self the real church and notified the , 1
[other members including the church's,
pastor. Elder Newsotne H. Harrison,
that they were in error.
It was reported that the smaller
faction went so far as to install new '
locks in an effort to keep the "erring"
members out, that the pastor and his
group on a later Sunday made a forced
entrance and held services in the house
of worship.
In an open letter, the accusation
against Elder Harrison, the 84-year-;
old pastor, was mentioned:
"The saddest thing of the whole af
fair was the accusation that they con
demned him, for such takes our minds
back to the days of the apostles, when
they were thrown in prison and finally
suffered death because they were trying
to fulfill the great command of Jesus
Christ to preach the gospel to every
creature. This being the only accusation
they had against Elder Harrison. He
had preached the gospel to a crowd oi'
respectable brethren and sisters and
friend*, which we are sure they arc
human creatures and worthy of having
the gospel preached to thfcm. Yet he
was condemned, and they refuse to
respect him any longer as a gospel >'
minister. On July 19, which was his
regular meeting time at his old church,
where he had met his brethren for 66
years, he went as usual, but found his
house with a new lock placed on the
door and locked out."
COUNTY AGENT'S ;
JULY SUMMARY;
County Farmers Building |
Twenty-four More Sweet |
Potato Curing Barns I
• I
That sweet potato growing is fast (
becoming popular in this section was ,
fully substantiated in the report of
County Agent T. B. Brandon to the
county board of commissioners in ses
sion here recently. In addition to
the large number of potato curing
barns already constructed it was point
ed out in the report that 24 more such
barns are now being built by farmers
in all parts of the "county. In connec- i
tion with the potato-curing business, '
Mr. Brandon stated, "it appears that
Martin County farmers will go potato '
minded."
Regardless of the extremely hot |
weather, the agent reported probably I
the most active month of the year dur
ing July. In addition to regular dem
onstration work, the agent vaccinated
886 hogs, the greatest number to be
treated against cholera in any one 1
month this season.
The report, in detail, follows:
22 days spent in field work: 5 days j
spent in office work; 168 office confer- .
euces; 142 telephone calls; 182. letters
written; 92 farms visited; 1,240 miles
traveled during the month; 2 articles
written for local papers; 14 farmer*
assisted with flea beetle; 8 farmers as- j
sisted with diseases of tobacco; 4 farm-!
ers assisted with cotton weevil infes
tation. _
Extreme Heat Wave Breaks
In Section Sunday Night
•
Establishing a new record, the heat
wave prevailing in this section and all J
parts of the country was temporarily
broken last Sunday night, when a storm
visited the section. Little rain accom
panied the storm in this section, but
the mercury dropped several degrees,
greatly relieving conditions.
According to reliable readings, the
mercury reached its highest point here
last Saturday when it went to 103 In
the shade. The reading' was checked,
even thought no one doubted the ac
tion of the mercury.

CROPS DAMAGED
BY ARMY WORM
IN THIS COUNT* 7
Completely Destroy Small
Patch of Corn On A
I Farm Near Here
- - ■- -i • -
Warned by Dr. Z. P. Metcalf in an
article appearing in the Raleigh News j
and Obesrver yesterday,, several Mar-,
tin County farmers entered their fields j
yesterday morning to find the army!
worm in large numbers. Mr. Joe Leg
, gett, farming near here, reported that
. the worm had cleaned out completely I
i one small patch of corn for him and ]
, moved on to other fields. Mr. Jule !
Bamhill, of Everetts, stated that the
, worms, literally thousands of them, i
had crowded from one of his tobacco
| fields to an adjoining peanut patch and
started to work there. The damage
I was limited at that time, however. i
I According to reports from various
j sections of the State, a heavy infest a
. tion of the worm is expected and vast
j destruction is likely this year, especi-'
ally to garden, truck crops, cowpeas, .
and soybeans.
Dr. Metcalt says:
The fall army worm is apt to be
especially destructive to cowpeas and
soybeans at this season of the year '
because these two crops generally are '
full of grass which furnishes an attract- 1
ivo place for the worms to develop. j
Strictly speaking, says Dr. Metcalf, ■
there are only two worms which should '
be called "army worms." One occurs
largely in the western part of the i
State and does most of its damage in '
the late spring and early summer. The
one which cause the damage this late *
in the summer and on until early fall
is the true fall army worm.
Both groups have the habit, how- |
ever, of cleaning up a field and then
crawling or marching like an army to j
adjoining fields, stripping clean the |
plants as they go. The worm looks
very much like an ordinary cut worm
or corn ear worm, though they vary
from.green to almost black in color. |
In ordinary seasons, the fall army i
worm is controlled by its enemies, |
finds Dr. Metcalf. These, enemies con-|
sist of a parasitic wasp whose grubs
I prey upon the eggs, and a parasitic fly ,
I whose maggots feed upon the worms.
In exceptional seasons, like the pres
ent, the parasites do not develop and
the army worms do widespread dam
age. In such cases it is best to dust !
or use poison bait.

Methodist Orphans Give
Splendid Recital Here
Under the direction of Mrs. Nellie;
B. Rives, eight girls and oqe boy, of
the Methodist Orphanage Raleigh, ren-j
dered an able program in the Metho-|
dist church here last Sunday evening,
giving several readings, singing songs
and offering prayers, The program, j
taking the place of the regular Sun- j
day evening union service, was well i
attended.
The entertainment was declared one j
of the best ever given here by an
orphanage singing class. Not a break
or a weak spot was to be detected in
the entire program.

Within the past two years approxi- t

the officials in charge by locating the
negro school at a place opposed by a t
'large majority of the colored popu- a
lation to be served and by practically t
'a'l the white people who are to pay the a
{taxes. It is a location ill convenient to
most of 'the colored children, a loca- a
tion where traffic is dangerous. I
It is just another time in our Ameri
can government that the voice of the u
.people exercises no influence; they arc
Jto be waved aside unnoticed. I
It is understood from the meagre in-
formation available that the location is j
'to be decided by Mr. K. B. Crawford, \
chairman of the Martin County Board '
of Education. His action, so far is t
I puzzling to his best friends in his ap- 1
