THE ENTERPRISE
Teachers Salaries Might
Be Delayed In County
Rumors that the Martin County
Board of Commissioners in regu-
lar session here this week had con
sidered a proposal for reductions
in school teachers' salaries were
declared unfounded by a member
of the board yesterday afternoon.
A possible delay in paying teach
ers for their work during the
last month or two of the term was
considered, however, but proposal
to ask the teachers to accept a re
duction in their salaries during the
remainder of the current term was
not mentioned, it was officially
learned.
"Not knowing how collections
will hold up during the remainder
of the school term, and realising
the difficulty existing in borrow
ing money on anticipation notes,
the commissioners thought it ad
visable to warn the teachers of a
possible delay in salary settle
ments after this month," Commis-

COLLECT 49 PER
CENT OF TAXES
Collected Percentage This
Year Greater Than At
Same Time in 1930
The 1930 tax levy in Martin county
is just about one-half completed,
Sheriff Roebuck stated this week fol
[ lowing a fifth turnover of money to
'the treasurer. While the sheriff has not
' collected as much money on the 1930
! levy as he did on the 1929 levy in a
similar period, the percentage of col
| lections is greater. The 1929 levy
amounted to $303,498 and that of the
| 1930 levy is only $295,451. . At the end
lof January the office reported
$149,616 collected and at the end of the
past month, $141,406, a decrease of
. about SB,OOO.
A large portion of the $141,406 wan
paid back in October and November
| when a one and one-half per cent dis
' counts were allowed. Payments in the
1 par period were not so great until the
i last week in January when they
bounced up into the several thousands
| of dollars.
I Settlements continue daily, not so
fast as the collector would desire, but
fast and much faster than one would
expect under the existing conditions.
Sheriff Roebuck is optimistic over the
collectoins and he believes that they
will compare very favorably with
those in the past year. •

CAM MORRISON
"MOST RURAL"
U. S. SENATOR
Has Make-up To Resist the
Standardizing Effects of
* Present-day Life
I New Yodk, Feb. 6.—The new United
States Senator from North Carolina,
Cameron Morrison, is characterized
as the "most rural" of'all the national
legislators, in an article which will ap
pear in the forthcoming issue of Col
lier's Weekly. That is to say, accord
inn to the magazine biographer, "he
has enough roughness and hardness in
his make-up to resist the standardizing
effects of. present-day life, for he was,
lis and always will he a Tarheel."
J Senator Morrison,- it is noted, ar
rived in Washington at a moment
which would have daunted any less
hardy spirit than his. President Hoo
ver had just appointed Frank McNinch
to the Federal Power Commission..
McNinch was a Hoovercrat and his
appointment as a {Democrat caused
a storm among the North Carolina re
gulars.
j Collier's explains: "If Cain support
ed McNinch he would auger all the
heresy hunters. And if he did not lie
would do violence to old personal rela
tions, for he was a friend of Mc-
Ninch's. But Cam came straight to
|Washington and supported McNinch.
'I got to be for hint,' be explained,
i 'lie's ma elder*—not in years, but in
'church I
i *
| "Anyway, Cam stood by his elder
and had him confirmed by the Se
nate, at some risk to himself when he
conies up for election.
, 'Cam has a crown of striking white
hair. He affects wide-brimmed hats
| and long-tailed coats of Southern
gentlenianliness. He sticks to the good
old rural fashion of chewing tobacco.
He's a roarer when he speaks.
"In spite of the fact that he married
one of the great fortunes of North
! Carolina he remains one of the most
irural personage left in this citified na
tion with the highlands of Scotland
and of the United States as a back
ground.
| "All of this sounds as if we had got
another S.outhern demagogue in Cam.
But that leaves out of the reckoning
the hard practical Scottjsh element in
his make-up. He has a lot of sense.
North Carolina is the most modern of
the really Southern states. And it owes
most of its modernness to Cam's term
as its governor from 1921 to 1924. It
was he who initiated its good roads,
improved its schools, built up the uni
versity of North Carolina and mo
\ demised. its charities.
I "Cam will probably make a pretty
good senator. He has courage, energy
Itnd self-assertiveness. But he is a per
: son. And it is so seldom that a person
arrrives in Washington that one has
'to record his arrival." • •

Becoming of age next Sunday, the
Boy Scout movement includes 836,400
boys in America alone. In their ranks
a valuable work has been advanced,
and although limited to small num
bers, the work has been an important
factor in the life of young boys liv
ing in towns no larger than William
ston.
It you have a hoy twelve years or
more of age he should be a Boy Scout.
It will instill in him those qualities of
self-reliance ami team play and lead
ership that make for the finest mental
development. It will give him a knowl-
I edg of the outdoors and a love for
nature that will build him physically,
jit will give him moral standards by
I which he will always live. It will start
i him on the road to good citizenship.
It will make a better man of him.
"I'or twenty-one years—ever since
Sir Baden-Powell first conceived this
organization—the Boy Seoul move
ment has been the greatest united ef
fort for and by boys in the history of
the world."
The local boys are anxious for the
people of the community to celebrate
twenty-first anniversary Sututay
evening.

Robersonville Township Has Most
Mileage As Well As Most Miles
Of Imprvoed or Graded Roads
With one exception, a small section
in (iriffins township, Martin County
lias as many if not more roads per
square mile than any other county in
the ystate, it was learned following a
Jhurried study of the roads in many
counties mapped, by the State High
way commission and released this
week. The mileage is something to
talk about all right, but, the roads
themselves are something else.
Exactly '405 of the 505.1 miles in the
county are unimproved roads, and
therein are included almost impassable
paths. The State is now maintaining.
80..10 miles, a large portion of that
mileage being hardsurfaced. Of the
424 8 miles maintained by the county
or by the various township road com
missions, the small number of 19.8 is
classified as graded, or improved roads.
Hamilton township, has two miles of
graded roads. jamesville has 8.2 miles
and Rohersonville township has 9.6
miles of improved roads. These last fi
gures are separate from those rela
tive to hardsurfaced or State-main
tained roads. The other districts are
without graded or improved roads, the
tuunslim commissions finding it al
! . ,
most impossible to maintain their
roads as they do with the funds fur
nished them.
The map, prepared by Highway
Kttgineer McKim, is the most com
plete one showing roads-that-bas.ever
been made of the county. It includes
every road or public path with the pos
sible exception of not* or two thai have
been dropped from the township
| maintenance list.
Having three classification*, A B
and C, the map gives the total mileage
of each in the individual township. In
Robersntrcille township, the district
having the greatest mileage, has 9.6
miles in the first class, 17.7 in the se
cond and .'8.4,-a total or 75.7 miles.
I'he first classification, Mr. McKint ex
plained yesterday, includes those roads
lecond class indicates the main outlets
tor the various communities, and the
(' class includes those roads that are
that connect towns and highways. The
limited in use as outlets or to the pu
blic generally. These classifications are
not final, however, Mr. McKini points
ed out, but they give a fairly accurate
picture of the road system in Martin
county andj its comparative im
portance.
j While it has not materialized at this
lime, it is understood that a l»ill —will
be introduced in the legislature,
authorizing the State to take "over all
the rojids and maintain tliein. The map
is being studied by the committee on
j roads, and it is believed that a favor
able disposition of the all-important
'matter will result.
