I Mwttei WIS Pad Oar Col- I mm • Latchkey to Over Sixteen I HUM Martin County Homes VOLUME XXXIV—NUMBER 7 TELL OF HEALTH CONDITIONS IN MARTIN COUNTY 1929 Report Shows That Martin Had Low Death Rate in Many Diseases The annual report of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of North Carolina re cently released for the year 1929 car ries many interesting facts in connec tion with health conditions, and the birth and death rates for the State as a whole and the several counties. There were 727 births in the coun ty in 1929 and 645 in 1928, the respec tive rates being 30.1 and 27.5, an in crease of 2.6 per 1,000 inhabitants. The deaths numbered 306 in 1929, a rate of 12.6. In 1928, there were 277 deaths, a rate of 11.6 per 1,000 population. While the birth rate of 1929 increase over that of 1928, the death rate also increased, both rates comparing very favorably with the State average. Au to fatalties are believed to have effect ed the death rate, while general health conditions, on the other hand, tended to lower the death rate. ' There were 333 white births and 394 colored births. Of the 306 deaths in the county in 1929, 147 were colored. It *II learned from the report that kloctori attended 278 white births and housewives 55. Of the 394 colored births, doctors attended only 47, leav ing- 347 for widwives to handle. Sixty six of the total births were illegitimate, two of the number being among white people. As a result of the large num ber of births attended by midwives, the infant mortality rate rate is apparently larger than it would be under more favroably conditions. There were 84 in fant deaths, a rate of 115.8. The mater nal mortality rate was 6.9 for the year 1929. Surrounding counties also had high rales. With the exception one' county, Halifax, this county had the lowest rate of typhoid deaths of any the sur rounding counties. There were two deaths from typhoid in the county in 1929. The rate in this county 8.2 per 100,000 population. In Beaufort it was 16; in Bertie, 16; Edgecombe, 15.9, and Pitt, 9,i. There were also two deaths in this county from malaria, a rate of 8.2. Beaufort had 8 malaria deaths, a rate of 25J. The rate in Bertie was 4., Edgecombe, 4.5, and Pitt, 1.8. This county also had an unusually low pel lagra death rate, while it was as high M 41.8 in Beaufort; 16. in Bertie; 11. in Pitt and 12. in Halifax. The rate here was 8.2. per 100,000 population. The tuberculosis rate in this county was 78.8 per 100,000 or 19 deaths. Beaufort had 34 deaths, a rate of 109.3 per 100,000 inhabitants. Practically all these deaths were confined to the co lored race. _ There were four influenza deaths, four cancer deaths and 25 others re sulted from cerevral 'hemorrhage. Eight deaths resulted from whooping cough and none from measles, small pox and scarlet fever. Considering the j(acf that Martin has only a part-time health officer, the 1929 health records show that Martin commands a high rank in general health.

J.HAYRS The Negro farmers of this county are to meet in the iJew School building for Negroes here on Saturday when talks are to be made about the best methods of farming during these hard times.

I THE ENTERPRISE Gardner Opposes Mac Lean Bill In His Message Todau i t "That portion of the Mac Lean School Bill that cannot be carried out without a sales tax should be obliahed," declared O. Max Gard f i ner in an addreea to the general . I assembly in Raleigh at noon to . 1 day. "I don't intend to set up . | any revenue measure; that's the t legialature's job," the governor al s so stated. In all his ramblings about the taxing of stomachs of two and one-half million people, the large stockholder in the R. J. Reynolds ( Tobacco company did not say one [ word about the huge profits of , that and other tobacco companies only recently reported. The easence of the address, "Step by step taxes have reached the 960,000,000 mark, and we can't completely write them off at one time." In a pleading voice, he told his ] hearers that he was opposed to any kind of sales tax, and went so I far as to say that luxuries are not , „ luxuries. His reference to Jef fersonian principles and Jackson t ian ideas, and the Great North I State brought applaus as the few ROBBERS ENTER EVERETTS STORE — 0 j Steal Many Goods From J. S. Ayers and Co. Sunday Night Burglars entered the store of J. S. Aycrs and Company, Everetts, some time last Sunday night or early Mon day morning and carried away a quan tity of merchandise, including shirts, merchandise, flour, shoes, groceries and clothes. The thieves gained an en -1 trance by prizing open the back door. Mr. Ayers, discovering the robbery yesterday morning, could not tell just how many articles had been removed by the burglars, but he missed about a dozen dress shirts, a dozen pair of overalls, a barrel of flour, a few pounds of sugar, several jpairs of shoes, two • or three suits of clothes and some to ' pacco and a few groceries valued at more than SIOO. One large suit of clothes covered with lint was found on the store floor, indicating that it had been placed in a bag and later re moved. A pair of trousers was also found on the floor. At the car house of the Atlantic Coast Line, several hundred yards away, the thieves drop ped or threw away two ladies' hats, leading officers to believe that the burglars parked their car in a street just east of the town while they made the raid and carted the goods on their backs down the railroad. So far there is no clue that war rants an arrest. The robbery is the third that has been reported in Everetts during the past few months, thieves, having entered the store- of J. S, v Peel and Company only a few days ago.

In the last analysis," the gover | nor stated, "a sales tax is not paid by the producer, but it is pushed | on to property, a system of tax ing the weak to relieve the strong. It is the very opposite of the in come tsx, the fairest tax there is." ! he continued. Humorously, Governor Gardner referred to tbaf great football player that lost/ his sense of di rection and ran the wrong way with the ball. And storngly did he say that he would not take the ball himself and run the wrong way. For the little man, the far mer whose back is bent and whose j land is only a leap from the auc tion block, the governor evidently ran the wrong way today. It was a great speech, one that North Carolina's head has avoid ed time and again, and one that he wished he never would have to ' ; make. In it there is seen another strong blow against the Mac- I Lean Bill. : LITTLE VETERAN 1 CASH RECEIVED l $3,000,000.00 Paid In State l But Limited Amount Received Here Money continued to, flow into the •; pockets of World War veterans in 'j North Carolina, but very little is com "j ing to ex-soldiers in this county, ac "i cording to information received here ' yesterday.

North Carolina veterans have re-' ceived more than $3,000,000 in loans under the new bonus legislation and applications are still being received at the rate of 1,000 a day, J. S. Pittman, manager of the Charlotte office of the ' U. S. Veterans Bureau said last week. More than 35,(KM) applications for | loans have been received, he said. Although they arc not coming as ra pidly as during the first two weeks, there arc still plenty to keep the office force busy, he added. 1 Pittman said that information re- I ceived at the office indicated the ve terans were using their money to a good advantage. Some of them, lie ex plained, paying bills with the loans, while others are using the funds in their business enterprises.

Of jthe 34 pupils in the graduating class j this year, 12 arc the children of far i mers. Of the 232 pupils'" in the high school, 104 or 45 per cent are children of farmers. 1 here are no agricultural courses provided in the local school. I | Principal Watson, announcing his I findings after careful study, offers the I following comments: '| " The survey show s that 45 per cent 1 of the parents of William ton High School pupils are farmers; 10 1-2 per cent are merchants 6 per cent are housekeepers: and 3 per cent are pu- I blic officials. The remaining parents ' are occupied in 32 varied lines of I work. | "National studies show that children tend to engage in the same kind of work as their parents. If this is true, then we may expect a large number of the pupils of our High School to be come farmers or to engage in occupa tions largely dependent Upon farms or 1 farming interests, It follows that an adequate and sane course of study ' should include some courses that fit for successful farm 'operation, lfow -1 ever, this is not true, for our present ' course of study is a very restricted ' classical course. 'j "It is suggested that parents con sider the above facts with a view t" determining just what .courses should' ' be introduced into the curriculum so as to meet the needs of the pupil's and the community. 1 "In this connection parents are urg ed to remember that equipment fur any course that might lie added must lie paid for either from county or local tax funds. Also the exp. us. i.f a tea cher for any additional courses must i be boriu? by local tax, unle s such tea cher is employed as a full time High [ School teacher."

Ci. Cavallo, poultry specialist of New Jersey, told a group of poultry raisers assembled at the Lindsley Ice Company's plant here last Friday eve- I ning. "But you have to know how to handle your flocks to make money, and unless you handle them right, | there'll he a resulting U ss," the spc- ' I cialist added. There were very few at the group meeting, and Mr. Cavallo . limited his instruction to general ac- | tivities connected with poultry raising, j Sani tatirrrnvns p uTf~t"i be one of the most important features in rais ing chickens, proper feeding coining second. I'he return fr&uu a hen poorly > cared for will hardly ever lie more than I $1.50 per year, but w hen properly I cared for the same he a -will offer a return as high as $2-50 and sometimes more each year. "Poultry raisers are asleep in this part of the country," Mr. Cavallo stat ed. "Only a few days ago, raisers as far away as Ohio were shipping eggs to Norfolk, \ a., a distance of many ipiles, aiuj within a few hours' ride of Eastern Carolin a Ihe sideline method of handling poultry is a costly business, and the • man wild feeds his fowls corn is sell ing that product for about 40 cents per bushel. He had* best sell his chickens and corn too, the poultrymau advised. The standardization .of flecks was ad vanced as one of the main requisites in starting in the poultry business, and as the business develops standardize fur ther by grading the eggs, Mr. Cavallo stated. In explaining the importance of egg grading, the New Jersey man stated that he had formed a small as sociation with sixteen high school boys that by grading their produce they received' fftun 15 to 20 cents more per dozen above the regular market price. V'hre Is a splendid opportunity lor farmers of this section to make similar profits, Mr, I av: 11 ■ believed.

Wens are laying the ye. r ;i.m d as a result of modern methods of caring for them, and size and ire»!u:ejj of .eggs are what count mo t no.v. It was plain from the facts advanced by the poultrymau that our farmers arc making very little headway in poultry raising, but it was also made plain that' they have a splendid oppor tunity. to make the business a prof itable, the raiser must make prepara tions to combat disease, which is easily possible, the specialist stated.
