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 Rob ersonville, voting against the measure at first, rescinded its action and made the count unanimous.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 ed by Mr. Everett, but they are read ily Accepted, aa two of his close neigh bora mentioned them while here yea tciday. * 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.

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. Q • Q n .
