AtortiMn Will Pud Our Col ami i Latchkey to Owr Sixteen Hundred Martin County Home* VOLUME XXXIII—NUMBER 103 EX-SLAVE TELLS OF LIFE BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR —'— , u ' Auction Block Stood Where The New Presbyterian Church Now Stands • Slavery in the States before the War has been frowned upon and there is qo doubt but what the conditions i were deplorable ones. For Emmanuel j Andrews, 88 years old, life in those j times was very acceptable. Veryi active for his four score and eight i years and possessing a good memory, the old man recalled many of his slave| experiences while visiting here last j Saturday. Born in Williams township, he was numbered among the forty slaves own ed by Otis Andrews. The ex-slave praised his master and mistress for their kindess, referring to the slave market, however, as a demon. On an old platform erected on a lot near where the Presbyterian church now i stands, slaves were sold or hired at auction, Emmanuel stating that a very few minutes were required Ao com plete a sale. He went on auction block several times, hut in ifWh case he was hired out to county people. For seven years he worked with Henry Fones, Joseph Biggs, William Thigpen and W. J. Hardison. He was well treated by all his masters and never went to the whipping post but once and then hit mistress took him away from her husband, a late sheriff of the county. t During the early part of the war, Emmanuel stated he left the duties on' (he farm to go with his master's son, Ben, and Samuel Andrews. Following the battle near iCinston, Emmanuel re turned to his old home, after serving with his master's sons at Sherrod Grove, near Hamilton and near Golds-, boro, and in a part of the Virginia campaign. It was a sad day for him he said; when his mistreat, Mrs. Bettie An drews, called him and said, "Manuel, 1 you arras free as 1 is," He hated leave and agree to work for twelve and ( a half eents per day for the remainder of the year. Emmanuel says that of the forty staves owned by his master, he and his brother, Aaron of Robersonvtlle, are the only ones now living. It has been several years since he saw his bro-1 ther. Since then, Emmanuel has made his own living by cultivating two acres of land, and doing odd jobs as they pres- ■ ented themselves. Although various l Jones have given him aid, he does not rely on charity. SEAPLANE OVER HERE SATURDAY —•— n Local People Turn Eyes to Sky To See Latest Type of Aircraft » Local people turned their eyes sky ward last Saturday afternoon when an airplane, of the latest amphibian type, circled the town and continued south ward, probably to New Bern. Although the ship flew low enough so that her type could be easily de termined by the large pontoons under her fuselage and the unusual type of j "tail" the numbers on the under-' wing* were not visible. Local citizens who saw the plane as it pasted over, expressed the opinion that the flying machine was probably, from Hampton Roads, and was on | a scouting flight. The ship was of a considerably larger tize than the ordinary land plane. • Slight Decrease In Poultry, Priceg tor Current Loadings Poultry pricet offered for loadings in Martin county thii week are slight ly slower than they were last month, the drop being limited to one cent on j colored hens.'

THE ENTERPRISE Jamesville Farme For Permanent Pastures Permanent pasturing, so long neglected in Martin County, was substantially advanced last week when a group of Jamesville town ship farmers met in the old Coo per's schoolhouse and ordered 650 pounds of seed. Thirty or more farmers gathered there at the direction of Professor W. T. Overby, of the Jamesville Schools, to discuss permanent pastures in connection with the 'live-at-home' program. Following a thorough discussion of their subject, sixteen of the fanners agreed to order cooperatively sufficient seed to sow 26 acres of pasture lands. Reporting the work of the meet ing here yesterday, Professor Overby was very much pleased with the interest shown by the farmers. "They have selected por tions of their best land, and they are going into the pasture busi ness in no half-hazard way," he Rurial Letter Carriers Hold District Meet Here Yesterday Auxiliary to Carriers' As sociation Advanced by Women Present . * The annual ii'ieeting of the rural | mail carriers of the Eastern Carolina district was held here yesterday mor ' ning with fifty carriers and fourteen ' women, auxiliary members of the as sociation, in attendance. In the ab sence of James R. Harrell, president of j the association, Johti A. Ward, secre tary of the organization, called upon ■ S. A. Barnes, of Wilson, to preside. Rev. C. 11. Dickey led the devotional | services for the group. Following a. short introductory talk 'by Mr. Uarnes of Wilson, Carl 11. | Howard, one of the first carriers in: j the country to assist in organizing tin 1 I county, state and national associations, addressed the body. l'rr*ideitt of the national organization for two years, I Mr. Howard stressed the need for a better understanding between the car riers and the public whom they serve and between the department officials • and the carriers themselves. He ex- t I plained the work of the Board of Con trol in ' its recommendations to the department at Washington and praised iits efficient work. To do his duty was i advanced as the main business of the 'carrier, Mr. Howard said in conclu sion. The organization of the carriers' j wives as an auxiliary to the ajisocia- j jtion was ably advanced by Mrs. I) H. Jackson, of l'itt county.' Through | this auxiliary, Mrs. Jackson explained efforts could be made to induce Con gress to extend the benefits of dis-' [abied or retired carriers to their fami lies. Turning her attention to the carrier, Mrs. Jackson stressed the cational importance and opportunities of the employe. Collectively, they have an opportunity to come in dose jtouch with a large majority of the country's population daily. She urged the carriers to appreciate their Jobs | more fully because their work em braced a noble service. In bringing j her address to a close, Mrs." Jackson | mentioned the regularity pay ■ check. She stated that it was once j that death and taxes were the only two ' sure things, that now there are three I sure things, deatli, taxes' and rural, I carriers' checks. Holding a session of their own, the j •women planned a drive to add a hun- ; dred to its membership in this dis* j trict. I After a short address by Clerk of the Court R. J. Peel, the carriers iii -1 formally diseased various problems j confronted by them. The need for I joining the Stale association was stressed, and a large number of the group present joined the carriers' in surance association.

Several of the farmers will place cows in their pastures, but the grazing fields ate being pre pared mainly for swine and poul try, the agriculturist explained. The seed, consisting mainly of lespedeza mixed with Dallas and carpet grass, are expected in the county this week, and the fanners making arrangements to prepare their pastures early in March. Ordering their seed coopera tively under the direction of Pro fessor Overby, the farmers are saving around $127 in the seed costs alone. Farmers' exchanges are being patronized, and that has .much to do with the large saving, Mr. Overby explained. Thursday of this week, the far mers of that section will meet again. According to their leader, the growing of sweet potatoes will be the topic for discussion at that time.

The sam ples were picked by Hubert Morton, who (Stated that they represented the trend of the mar ket prices now offered.

House Passes Gar Measure by Vote of 89 lo 18 FARM WORK IN MARTIN COUNTY Preliminary Work on 1931 Tobacco Crop Practi cally Completed Preliminary work on What is ex pected to be another bumper tobacco crop in this section is practically com ipleted the farmers having finished sowing their plant beds. County Agent IT. B. Brandon cleaned and treated a I last lot of seed last Saturday, bring | ing to a close a work that has met I with a marked favor among* Martin I County farmers during the past two (years. Very few tobacco barns are being erected in the county this /tar, but ino additional barus are necessary in ■ handling another big crop of tobacco, j With one or two exceptions, new | barns are replacing old ones. Irish potato planting is underway in I the county this week, the plantings be ;ing about the same as they were last ; year. The crop comes in for-very little i attention in this county, only one or | two sections growing potatoes on a j commercial .-scale. However, reports iindicate that plantings will be large in the potato sections of Tyrrell and j Currituck counties this year. I -Agent Brandon, working oft poultry ; loadings this week, stated yesterday that farmers in Martin are making t | concerted drive against cholera among their hogs, that he continues to treat Marge numbers of the swine almost ! daily. Very little, fall plowing is ptjderway in the county at this time, but begin- Ining next week and ciMHinUitig for sev eral weeks thereafter the real estate turnover is expected to be large. ATTENDANCE IN LOCAL SCHOOLS Increased Percentage Re ported by Principal Last Month With weather better prevailing a greater part of time, attendance in the local schools was slightly increased dur ing the last month, Principal Win. E. Watson reported last' Week. The in crease was mainly recorded in the pri mary and grammar grades, although the average for those grades continues to trail the high school average. Comparative figures show that the average attendance this year is aev-i eral points below the average for the last term, the loss being confined to the lower grades almost entirley. How ever, the percentage of attendance during the sth month was greater than for the previous period. Last month there were 657 children enrolled in all the grades, 006 of the .number, or 92.22 per cent, attending regularly. There were 169 enrolled ill the high school, 160 of the number at tending regularly. In the primary and grammar grades were 488 en rolled, 446 or 91.09 per cent attending regularly. The average daily attendance in the school is expected to gradually ■ in crease when the weather gets better. X goodly number of children has been litld at home, it is understood, l>ecause they _did not have sufficient clothing to wear. Regular Meeting Masons Here This Evening at 8 « First degree work will feature the regular meeting of the Skewarkey lodge here this evening, it was an* nounced this morning. All masons are urged to attend. Uurgent Need for Clothes, Bundle Day Here Tomorrow With the supply exhausted and the need continuing for clothing, the charity committee of the Wil liamston Woman's Club has ar ranged a bundle day with Scout master Wheeler Martin and his Scouts. The boys will canvass the town tomorrow afternoon. Although the winter is most spent, the need for clothing con tinues, especially among children of school age and many aged peo ple. Attendance figures in many of the schools have been lowered because many children did not and do not have adequate clothing to wear. The appeal ia an urgent one, the chairman of the welfare com mittee and the need calls for a liberal response. A good response to the present appeal will probably make another call this season unnecessary, and those in charge of the work are especially urging the cooperation of the people to that end. Have your bundles dsady for die Scouts when they call at your j home tomorrow afternoon. Child Fatally Burned In Tub of Hot Water ,~ Fatally burned last Saturday morning when she fell into a tub of scalding water, Emily Blanch Porter, three years old, died early yesterday morning at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O.

The "Round Robin" of coali tioit to postpone all legislative action J except the school bill, was short-lived, Representative J. Calvin Smith, oL this 1 county, making the following motion allowing the road bills to take their I course: j "That it is the sense of this cau | eus that the road bills be allowed to 1 take their regular course, notwith- J standing the same can be delayed, if that course had been deemed desirable, j It being at the same -time the uuder j standing of this caucus that the six months school bill already passed is j mandatory in its provisions and re- I quirements that the schools be support ed by sources of taxation other than . ad valorem." following adoption ot a gentle - I malt's agreement Tl.it to raise point !of order against consideration of both administration and minority bills at the same time, Mr. Connor. Chair man of the Hottie Road Committee, launched into ail explanation of the bill, Ix-aring his name, which would abolish tlfe present highway cotnmis j sion, and vest the.entire administration 1 of roads of the State with a cenrtal board of seven members, Mr. Connor said ahat the Stajfe tak ing over the roads represented tip. | yielding of county sovereignty, as they never possessed any in the first place. He attacked an opposition move-of distributing figures labeled as the | amounts each county would receive under the bill, stating that no human being could tell from the bill how much money would he allocated to the individual counties. "It is endeavored to litake this a comprehensive bill," he said, refer ring to the extensive machinery set up in the bill lor utilizing convict labor, providing that all county prisoners be I taken over oft July 1, and henceforth he sentenced to district camps instead til county jails. I Provisions for utilisation of State's prisoners were copied from the pres ent 'aw, Mr. Conner said. | After July 1,, 1931, he pointed out, ] no more local taxes shall be levied Tfor road maintenance, leaving the only ■ levy that for paying off bonds and interest on bonds issued for road building purposes- These bonds, amounting to more than $100,000,000, cannot be taken over because of the I Constitutional limitation of the State 'debt. He answered criticism directed at I the bill l7e cause it abolished the pres ent highway commission, stating that 'the commission, which "existed on the dead ashes of a commission abolished before it was created" as a "construc tion commission" and had now out lived its function and should yield to the proposed ''maintenance commis sion." » Everetts School Honor / Roll for Fifth Month ! —♦— | l-irst (iradej Fabian Barnhill, Ru dolph Hardy, Louise' Mobley. | Second Grade—Ruby Cherry, Hat tie I-eggett, William Revep, Irvin i Cullipher, Ruth Forbes, Melba keel.
