In a well prepared charge, the presid ing jurist stressed the importance of preparing a citizenship which will be above law-breaking. This, the Judge staled, is more important than the mere execution of the law by the courts. He advanced the idea that it is easier, cheaper and better to teach obedience to government at home and in the school than it is in the court house, jail or penitentiary. He intimated that the over-crowded criminal dockets before many courta today had their source, to some extent, in the lax government at home and the broad prviliges granted youth. The cases called yesterday were all o a minor nature, their disposition fol lowing; May Lou Rpberson was given a 60- day suspended jail sentence on a lar ceny charge. Found guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon, Claude Whitaker was, sentenced to the roads for eight months, the court suspending the judg meat upon the defendant's paying the cost of the case and paying the injur ed parties, S. P. Saunders, $17.00 and McKell, SIB.OO. S. P. Saunders was found not guilty in the cape charging him, with an as sault with a deadly weapon. Charged with being drunk and dis orderly, 1). L. Whitehurst was found not guilty. Jobit Gamor, pleading gui'lty of re sisting an officer, was sentenced to.the roads for three months. Judgment was suspended in the case in which Oscar Hriley was found guilty of resisting an officer upon his payment of the cost. Judgment was withheld in the case in which Ernest Lanier pleaded guilty of larceny. In the caae charging Jobie Gaihor ana Rufus Gainor with violating the liquor laws, Rufus was given a four months suspended sentence, Jobie re ceiving an unqualified sentence of three months duration. Judgment wai lifted in the case charg ing J. W. Cannon with assault. Judgment was withheld in the case in which Charlie Thompson pleaded guilty or an assault with a deadly weapon. Charged with stealing hogs in certain parts of Beaufort, Pitt and Martin counties, Henry Blount pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the roads for twelve monfha. His accomplice, Albert Brown being under sixteen years of age, was turned over to the juvenile court. , John Henry Edwards, small colored boy pleaded guilty in the case charging him with the thaft of a dozen or more watches from the Peele Jewelry store here, but sentence had not been passed shortly after noon today. The grand jury, composed of Messrs W. S. White, foreman; W. S. Revels. W. P. Harria, N. D. Griffin, W. J. Meeks, John A. Lilley, B. Mc. Man ning, W. D. Manning, H. J. Haislip, J. W. BeMlower, D. W.

Court waa adjourned yesterday aft ernoon by Judge Moore until 2 o'clock OP account of a mass meeting of hacco farmersinfhe court auditorium this morning. In spite of thia delay, it ta believed that the criminal docket will be cleared this afternoon and to morrow. The trial of civil causes is scheduled for Thursday morning and tl roughotu this and next week.

THE ENTERPRISE 2,107 Children Opening of Ten Martin County 639 ENROLLED IN LOCAL SCHOOLS • 462 Pupils In Elementary Department and 183 In High School Six hundred and thirty-nine children, 462 primary and elementary and 183 high school pupils, started a year's work in the local schools yesterday, the number enrolling yesterday being nine less than the figures reported at the opening last year. The' elementary enrollment was decreased by three, leaving the high sfchool department with a loss of nine pupils. From early yesterday morning until 9:00 o'clock, the little folks literally poured into the town for the opening exercises in the new high school audi torium. The number coming in yester day compared so nearly in size to the opening enrollment last year that both th«* elementary apd high school depart ments again faced crowded conditions. Many of the grades are over-crowded and it is understood that several changes will necessarily be effected that the teaching load will be lessened in some of'the grades. Even then the average teaching load will be far above the State average or State regula tions. | While the enrollment figures arc fair ly representative of the attendance throughout the last term, it t's Principal i Watson's belief that there'll be a few more pupils entering both the high ; school and elementary " departments | within the next few days. Last fall, I approximately fifteen children entered | the local schools after the opening day. j The opening exercises yesterday morning were marked by a short talk Iby Mayor Robert L. Coburn in which he welcomed the teachers to their posts and the pupils to their studies. Rev. Z. T. Piephoff, of the local Presby terian church, led the devotional wor ship! .This morning the 639 children were seated at their desks for a season of study after a -long vacation. Principal Watson with his corps of teachers is predicting a successful year in the schools, and the cooperation of the par ents and patrons it 'earnestly solicit ed to that end. • URGES CHANGE IN GAME LAWS Would Make It Lawful To Shoot Squirrels On Or After September Ist Attending a meeting of game war dens from Edgecombe, Nash, Halifax, Bertie and Martin counties in Tarboro last week, Warden John Hines, ol Oak City, urged a change in the game laws making it lawful for hunters tc shoot squirrels on and after Septem ber 15, or one month earlier than the ■chedule provides for now in effect. According to reports published on the meeting, Mr. Hines did not favot a change in the season. He did oppost opening the season on October 1, main, tfcining as did the warden from Halifax September *ls as the proper time fot opening the season. When asked what the next legislature would do relative to the proposed change in the hunting season, Mr. Hines withheld a definite answer, but he gave as hi* belief that either Sep tember 15 or October 1 would be made the opening date for the squirrel sea son in this part of the State for next year. Jamesville Schools Holds First Exercises Last Friday The formal opening of the James ville School was held last Friday when the Ant chapel exercises were planned. Rev. C.. B. Mashburn, of Robersonville, fdowing the devoitonal worship made a very impressive talk based upon an ap propriate Scripture reading. In a brief talk, Mr. R. J. Peel ap pealed to the child, the teacher and the parents present to cooperate with the school and thus make the year a suc cessful one. Only a few brief remarks were made by Principal A. L. Pollock. The main thing he stressed was the care to be exercised by the truck driv ers who hold the lives of many chil drens in their hands on the daily trips. Yesterday morning, 316 children re ported for work, a number slightly in excess of the opening enrollment last year. Raleigh Banking And Trust Company Closes The Raleigh Banking and Trust, one of the oldest financial institutions, was consolidated with the Page Trust Compiriy today. The depositor* are said to have made heavy withdrawals following the Drufey ¥nd Marr failure there a few day* ago. Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina. Tuesday, September 16, 1930. LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN ENROLLMENTS Oak City Believed To Have Greatest Loss of Ten Schools Reporting ALL 8 MONTH SCHOOLS Practically All Opens Are Well At tended by Parents and Patrons , Reports State Approximately 2,1.(7 children enrol ed in ten white schools in this county yesterday, the figures being complete with one exception—Robersonville While accurate comparisons are not available for opening dates last year and this, it is believed that the number 'o. pupils entering the ten schools will , lie about the same as it was last year.! Some of the report marked | j losses in their opening day enrollments;' iothers report gains; still others report' ; vtry little change ii any in the numbers.! Parmele reported 75 pupils as- com-1 pared with 85 on the opening day last year. Many patrons were out for the' i opening, and at their request the prin cipal, Mr. L. B. Wynne, will begin | class work at 7:30 and continue to 1 about 1:30 each school day. The sche dule is to be followed beginning to morrow morning until the harvesting season is completed. Hardens reported 81 pupils, or five less than the opening enrollment last fall. Williamston with 177 in its high school lost six pupils in that depart-1 !ment. The enrollment of 4(>2 in the | .elementary school was only three in •number than was the 1929-30 open- I ing day number. | Everetts reported no change at all i in its first-day enrollment, there-being | 175 pupils to register, 133 in the ele-1 mentary and 42 in the high school de- J I partments. Hear Grass reported a gain with 204 in the grammar grades and 32 in the high school as compared with 215 in' the entire school last year.

Oak City's elementary department fell from 302 to 262 and the high school enrollment dropped from 85 to 81. Jameiville reported 316 enrolled in j its elementary and high school depart ments yesterday as compared with 315' last year. The division in the two de- 1 partments was apparently copied wrong 'as there were 87 listed in the high | school and 138 in the grammar grades. | The actual trt nd of enrollment in the eleven eight-months schools cannot b«* determined until Robcrsonville re- ' ports its opening diy figures. I LOCALCOLORED • SCHOOLS OPEN ♦ I Three Hundred and Seventy Three Enroll for Work j Here Yesterday The local colored schools opened the 1930-31 term yesterday morning with an enrollment of 373 pupil* an com pared with 390 registered the first day last term. One hundred and forty of the pupils reporting for work yester day were first-graders, Principal E. J. Hayes reporting crowded conditions in the third and fourth grades also. The number of pupils in the higher grades was comparatively small, it was stated. In spite of adverse housing condi tions, Principal Hayes stated late yes terday that they expected a successful year. The school has an exceptional faculty this term, teachers coming for duty in the varous rooms from Eliza beth City State Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College, Miner Nor mal, Washington D. C., Durham State , College, Virginia Union University, Shaw University and Bennett College. Warden Denies Report 1 That He Fled from Man The report circulated in certain parts oi the county maintaining that Town ship Warden Mayo Grimes fled from a woods in Williams township last Fri day at the command of a game law .violator was branded as false by Mr. Grimes when questioned yeaterday. It was reported, humorously prohably, I that the hunter knocked the warden's jcii out of his hands and ordered him from the woods. The game protector explained that h? arrested T. D. Williams, of Roanoke Raptd»r~far Williams townahip last Friday, but the arrest was made under | very amiable terms, the hunter being jloat and Mr. Crimea wearying of wait* ADVANCE IDEAS FOR RELIEF OF THE FARMERS Acreage Reduction Is One Of Best Methods, Two Men Write The plight of the tobacco growers in the various sections affected has pushed all other happenings in this part of the State in the far background. Even the superior court in session here this week postponed its morning's work today to give room for a mass meeting of the tobacco growers in the court auditorium here. Ideas have been advanced, and the discussions have- been unlimited. According to two open letters re ceived here, the acreage reduction plan Sr.d some type of marketing have been the two most favorable solutions so far advanced. One of the two letters writ ten by Mr. W. T. Meadows, of this place, the other by R. E. White, ot Aulander, follow: ln'an open letter addressed to Mr. J. G. Staton. Mr. W. T. Meadows says, in part: 1 see in the papers that a meeting has been called of the fifteen members of the District Executive Committee of the Cooperative Tobacco Association for the State of North Carolina. 1 presume this committee is called together for the purpose of formulating acme plan to put in operation cooper ative marketing in North Carolina. I hope and trust the plans- set before you are not drawn up 'to order', and some fellow will get up and say 'Here it is,' sign on the dotted line' for that is what thev do when they go out to have a farmers' meeting in every county in the State. They issue the call for the farmers to meet at the courthouse, have men at each door to pass each farmer as he enters a type written contract; he invites you to walk in, sit down and read this contract, Aft er allowing ample time for the persons gathered to read this contract; some local citizen will get up and introduce the speaker of the day to address this crowd of farmers in reference to what is written on that cooperative contract which he is holding in his hand, and invites them to walk up and sign it. The farmer involved has no chance to say whether he likes a clause in the contract or not. Now, 1 have read the North and South Carolina contracts on coopera tive marketing, and being a farmer, a warehouseman, and a dealer, 1 know there are a great many objections to ! certain clauses in these contract* My plan has been that they could get no | where unless they could control the acreage, and I still stick to this idea. I All this stuff you see about the poli i ticians and the departments of mar | kets playing up is not worth a cent in getting the poor farmer out of the I hide. I have just one plan that 1 am I going to ask you to submit to your brother committeemen. This plan not only will control the acreage but if 1 adopted, one hundred per cent of the farmers will sign up for the bright belt of Georgia, South and North Carolina ami Virginia, and the Hurley belt of Kentucky. It is too late to put this ' plan in action in the bright belt this | season. It is just as well to go ahead* and take your medicine this season"as it is doped out to you, whether it he a short crop, long crop, good crop, bad i crop, over-production or under-produc , lion. Take your dose this time, but hand them this clause in your agree nient from now on: "We will raise and store with the co operative marketing association of the ' United States a crop of tobacco in | the acreage ill the Bright belt autl the Kentucky Hurley belt to be 'cist twenty-five per.cent less than the 11930 crop, at. a price of thirty cents per pound through for each and every I pound raised Tn these belts in 1931. ! Said tobacco to be graded by the gov ernment and redied in sound keeping condition. If we do not secure a thirty cent average for the 1931 crop we here !by pledge ourselves not to raise a pound of tobacco in the territory above mentioned in 1932 and the executive j committee of the Cooperative Tobac co Association is hereby authorized to put ten cents per pound on all tobac 'co of the 1931 crop marking this crop forty cents per pound instead of thirty cents on all tobacco unsold the first day of January, 1932, in the bright belt, and the first day of March in the Hur ley belt. They are also authorized ■ to give this ten cents back to each far mer according to each poundage stor ed with them. This ten cents per pound bonus is given the farmer to tide him over the year the crop is cut out. | "We also agree to give the executive committee power to add two cents per pound to above prices each and every j year Tor~iljfraying the expeflwof the association. The above two rents does no; cover redrying cost. Cost of re drying to be taken out of tobacco as sold. In the event that the 1931 crop as stored is not sold after the 1932 crop is cut out, the executive committee is authorized to cut out the 1933 crop and add ten cents per pound as so stated before, and advance same to' the farmers. , M "When the tobacco is delivered to the receiving plants by any member, said tobacco is to be graded by U. S. l Grader* and the tame is to be figured out by the manager or his assistant in l charge for the actual amount accord-, ing to the price of each grade, and an! advance of not less than seventy-five per cent of the gross amount to be given to each member delivering same. | "Power is hereby given the execu tive committee to raise the advance of seventy-five per cent at any time they deem advisable, the Government to furnish the funds for any advance toj be made. The rate of interest to be, agreed upon by the association and| the Government. . . I This plan, if adopted, will not injure! the present independent redrying plans as your association has. no re drying plants they could readily utilize them for redrying their tobacco, how ever, such association might work some hardship on the warehouse own ers as all of the warehouses would not (Continued on page four) * County Farmers Discuss Relief Measures at Mass Meeting Here Aged Man Murdered At Camp Point Late Sunday W.

Dave Daniel, colored ytrnth, late Sunday afternoon -at Camp Point, six miles below Jamesville on ; the Roanoke River. Daniel, who lived in Jamesville but recently from the' chain gang in Edgecombe, was last seen near the scene of the murder shortly after the crime was committed by Mr. Dick Perry and a colored man named Boston. Officers of two coun ties started' a search for the allege'd murderer soon after it was reported lure, but it was unofficially reported I that the negro had made good his es cape, Daniel's brother was arrested in ci imectiou with the killing late ye.ster day and placed in the local jail. | According to a story told by Mr. Perry, farmer of the Dardens section, and the colored boy, Mr. Ange w;i.s shot and killed as he slept on a bench under one of the sheds at the Camp | Point fishery. He murdered, then rib bed him and threw the body into the river where it was found by the tVi'o man.

According to authentic reports com jing from the government grading serv ice, prices on the local tobacco mar ket yesterday showed gains varying in atnouut from to thirty-three per cent as compared with the prices paid 'fast week. | A fair break was reported on the I local floors today, but shortly before noon no official price reports were I available as the bills bad not been cofnplcted. Growers using the government serv ice, yesterday were very much pleased with the results, and it is believed that the system is gaining in favor steadily among the farmers of this and sur rounding sections. Interesting figures have recently been released showing a very accurate com parison of prices paid this year and those paid last year. Prices paid on the Smithfield market in 1929 have been compared with the sales on the Williamston, Washington, Wendell, Taihorq, ami.

The morning! exercises were opened by Rev. Mr. Legged, of the Oak City Baptist Church, Rev. C. B. Mashhurn, of Robersonville, delivering the main address. According to estimates made by the Robersonville minister, Martin County people spent as much for bath ing suits and at resorts the past sum mer as it will cost to operate the coun ty schools for one year. Mr. Mash busii contrasted extravagance and econ omy, stressing the importance of cur tailing expenditures in other places rather than in the educatoiual system. 11l an effort to aid the pupils, the assmbly discussed the preparation of providing hot lunches daily throughout the term. According to preliminary re ports, the undertaking bids well to lie a success, but the details bad not been made complete yesterday and the ex act working plans are not definitely known at this time. According to enrollment figures an nounced last night, the school there has witnessed one of the most marked decreases in number of pupils on open liay day of any school in the county, A decrease of forty pupils was report ed in tjie elementary grades, the loss in the high school being limited to four students. The enrollment figures in the school there probably reflect the most unfavorable financial conditions of any other place in the county. Investiga tions are' likely tT b» made there, and until they are made, the definite causes for the marked enrollment decrease will hardly be known.

A number of short talks was made,' each emphasizing.the need of some kind of help to tide the growers over the period of depression that confronts tin farming sections of the country to day. Although there were numerous suggesions made to the body assembl ed here today, nothing definite result ed other than the election of Mr. J. G. Staton a delegate and Messrs. J. T. Barnhill, V. G. Taylor and Harry Wal do, associate delegates to a state meet ing to be belli in Raleigh tomorrow. The acreage reduction plan, coopera tive marketing and other plans for I possible relief were discussed by the ' meeting, and while neither of the plans was accepted, many farmers expressed | a willingness to go into an organiza- I tion if all interested in the problem would go in also. Hankers, time mer i chants, landlords and tenants must all join, they said. However, they show ed an unwillingness to join with a suf ficient number left on the outside to kill the purposes and limit the ad vantages that an organization would [ultimately bring. Truly the interest in some movement was there in unmistakable terms, but it was evident that the farmers will pro cted with great caution.. Tomorrow the delegate goes to the State meeting which will be the nefct major movement toward the adoption of some type of relief measures. James | C Stone, tobacco member of the Fed eral Farm Board, will addrss the meet ing and outline a plan fur launching a new association, it was stated. Governor Gardner, Mr. Stone and business and . farm leaders of the State will hold a preliminary conference in Ralejgli tonight to make final plans lor the general ipass meeting tomorrow.

The meeting this morning was )o have been held Friday of next, week, hut the date'was changed when it was learned that Mr. Stone, the farm board member, would be in Raleigh tonight and tomorrow, and it was thought best ti have the delegates from the various sections selected before his coming.
