TWO MEN JAILED
WEDNESDAY FOR
STEALING SWINE
Four Goose Nest Farmers
- Implicated In Alleged
Theft Sunday
Albert and Andrew Flannagan,
brothers, and their father, John Flan
nagan, and Charlie Raynor, all white,
were arrested at their homes in Goose
Nest township, this county, Wednes
day afternoon for the alleged theft of
fourteen hogs from W. B. Phelps,
Bertie farmer, last Sunday. Pending
their trial to be held in Bertie county,
the four men were placed under $30(1
bonds each by Justice of the Peace J.
W.Hines. Unable to furnish bond in
the required sum, the two brothers
were placed in the county jail here
Wednesday and yesterday transferred
to the Bertie jail.
The alleged theft is one of many re
ported by Bertie farmers during the
past three years, it was learned yes
terday, and ' the evidence surrounding
this case is said to be sufficient to
warrant conviction.
According to information received
here, Albert Flannagan, a farmer on
the old Leggett plantation in Goose
Nest, crossed the Roanoke at Pal
myra landing early Sunday- morning
and went to Phelps' home on the I)ev
reaux farm in Bertie. With a quan
tity of shelled corn, he lured from the
Phelpß pen fourteen nice-sized I»OKS,
weighing about 140 pounds each. Over
a course of five miles the hogs fol
lowed their charmer, eating a grain
or two of corn dropped as bait by the
man. And as the Pied Piper and the
children journeyed to the river, so did
the fifteen swine march to the Roa
noke. At the river, Flannagan pen
ned his catch and went to his brother
Andrew, for aid. Arrangements were
also made with Charlie Raynor to
haul the hogs to the elder Flannagan's
home.
Returning to the river, Albert, aid
ed by his brother, loaded the swine
on a boat and carried them down the
river to Burnett landing, five miles
away. Haynor met the men there and
loaded the hogs on his wagon. They
were unloaded at the Flannagan home
that evening, the elder Flannagan,
when questioned by officers Wednes
day, claiming that he did not know
the hogs were' on his premises.
Missing his hogs, Monday morning,
the Bertie farmer tracked them to the
river and saw where thi-y were loaded
on a boat and carried away. With
a boat he paddled down the stream
and found where they were unloaded
and re-loaded again, but that time in
a wagon. The trail, was followed by
the aid of residents living along the
eight-mile route from the Burnette
landing on the Roanoke to the elder
Flannagan home. A warrant was is
sued, the owner of the hogs recogniz
ing them as his own in the Flannagan
pen.
The case is divided between the two
counties, but it is understood that the
Bertie authorities have preferred
charges against all four men and that
the cause wiTV Tie heatd in the court
there early in September,
Magistrate J. W. Hijnes stated this
morning that Raynor and the elder
Flannagan would be given a hearing
here before him next Tuesday.
This morning Bertie authorities
were demanding bonds in the sum of
SSOO for both Kaynor and Flannagan. |

CHILD KILLED
ACCIDENTALLY
BY LOCAL MAN
Stacy Cox Is Exonerated
From Blame In Tragedy
Near Jacksonville
Henry Henderson, nine years old,
was fatally injured last Wednesday
afternoon when he was struck near
the home of his parents on Highway
No. 30, six miles from Jacksonville,
N. C., by a car driven by Mr, Stacy
Cox, of Williamston. The child was
removed to a Wilmington hospital
where he died early yesterday morn
ing. Funeral services are being held
this afternoon.
Mr. Cox, badly upset by the tragedy,
stated yesterday morning that he was
traveling at a moderate speed when
the child, pushing a small home-made
cart, darted into the road in front of
the car. Mr. Cox turned to the side
of the road, and the front of the car
cleared the hoy. Apparently seeing
the,car too late to .stop or even think,
the child continued and pushed the
small cart into the rear fender of
automobile, wrecking the cart and
fatally injured the boy.
The highway forces had placed a
pile of sand along the road and the
child was cartittg a few small loads to
his home to play with. His mother
had warned him of the danger, but
he slipped away for just one more
load, it was plated.
Mr. Cox with Sheriff C. B. Roebuck
and Chief of Police W. B. Daniel, re
turned to the scene of the accident
yesterday morning when an investi
gation, freeing Mr. Cox of blame, was
held.
FISHING PARTY
HAS REAL LUCK
Catch So Many, Fishermen
Didn't Even Argue Over
Caught Most
Williamston fishermen told strange
tales upon their return from a trip
down to Swansboro this week.
Last Tuesday, Dr. Jas. S. Rhodes,
J. G. Staton, Jesses S. Whitley, Titus
Critcher, R. A. Critcher, W. K. Park
er, John Cook and Chief W. B. Dan
iel visited the "rocks", 14 miles south
of Swansboro, in -the Atlantic ocean,
and returned with 600 of various
kinds of fish.
The largest fish hooked, a 12-foot
shark weighing about 500 pounds, was
brought up by Dr. J. S. Rhodes.
When the maff-eater cante to the top
of the water he broke the hook and
leisurely swam under the boat and
appeared on the surface again. The
doctor is said tfr have moved his seat
when the shark looked him in the eye
the first time.
Chief Daniel fed the fish.
The fishermen caught sea bass,
flounders, sailors' choice, red mouth
and many other kinds of fish.
Each of the group caught so many
fish that there was no claim made to
the championship. . r
A fine bunch of the catch reached
the editor's table and were enjoyed
and appreciated.

Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, August 21, 1931
PROFIT SHOWN
BY THE WATER
DEPARTMENT
A New Record In Finances
Established By Town
During 13 Months
A new record in the handling of fi
nances was established by the town of
Williamston during the thirteen
months period, beginning June 1, 1930
and ending June 20, 1931, it was learn
ed from a statement of receipts and
disbursements released to the public
in statement form this week. Approxi
mately $165,839.00 was received by
the town during the period, the dis
bursements for the 13 months, amount
ing to $162,006.68. On June 30, this
jyear there was a balance of $5,030.50,
of which amount, $1,197.32 was
j brought forward - from the previous
fiscal year,
I The condensed form of receipts and
j disbursements, appearing elsewhere
in this paper today, carries a number
[of off-setting items, and they have no
bearing on the town's finances other
than swell the totals. In "other re
ceipts" there appears an item in the
sum of $1,245 coming from the Town
of Fveretts. Under the terms and ar
rangements provided in the light and
power scale contract with the Virginia
Electric and Power company, all the
money received from Everetts for light
and power is turned over to the pow
er company, the transaction just go
ing through the town's books. Tem
porary loans in several instances are
offset by notes paid.
In its operation, the water depart
ment showed a profit of $5,278,76, the
more than $3,000 gain over last year's
operating profit having been made
possible by the limited need of im
provements. Last year, receipts troni
• service accounts totalled $8,748.03 as
compared with $9,265.20 for the 13
mouths period ending the 30th of last
June. Considering that the $8,748.03
was for 12 months only and that the
$9,265.20 was the total for for 13
months, a small drop in receipts from
water service accounts is noted. But
in the 12 months period ending May
31, 1930, the town spent $3,343.29 for
I improvements, while in the 13 months
1 period ending last June, the town
spent only $73.12 for permanent im
provements such as meters, water and
sewer line extensions. The operating
costs, however, were slightly more
during the 13 months period than
they were for the preceding 12 months
period, by months, the increase being
approximately $29.00 a month. While
the water department shows an oper
ating profit of more than $5,000, the!
surplus would be more than wiped out i
if the principal and interest on_,|Ktnds'
were taken into consideration in de
termining the true profit and loss of
the system.
Under the head, general administra-j
tion expenses, including general ad-1
ministration, fire department, police ]
department and street department, the,
town spent $14,252.33. The general
administration account includes may
or's and commissioners salaries, clerk
salary, attorney fees, tax lists, im
provements, telephone and telegraph,
printing, fuel, stamps, auto tags and
other allied expenses.
Since the close of the last fiscal
year, the town has made reductions In
salary schedules and effected savings
in the various departments.

REGISTRATION IS
HALF OVER; FEW
NAMES ON BOOKS
Less Than 500 People Have
Registered for Election,
It Is Estimated
Unless there is a marked increase in
the number of citizens registering for
the special election to be held in Mar
tin September 14 in connection with
the county-wide extended two months
school term, the question will be de
cided one way or the other by one of
the smallest votes polled in the coun
ty in years, leports received from
more than half',of the 12 registrars
indicated yesterday.
It is estimated that less than 500
people have qualified for the special
election, and the registration period is
more than two weeks gone. One pre
cinct yesterday reported less than
five registered so far, and one or two
others reported less than a doien
names on their books. At the rate the
registrations has advanced so far,
hardly more than 1,500 people will
qualify for the election, it is believed.
However, a last minute rush might
alter the estimate, and a fair vote will
result after all.
This precinct, with 132 registered
up until late yesterday afternoon, was
leading the eleven other districts as
far as it could be learned this morn
ing.

Reports From Border Markets
This Week More Encouraging
PROPOSES BIG
REDUCTION IN
WEIED ACREAGE
Plan Set In Motion at Meet
In Kinston To Cut 1932
Acreage 25 Per Cent.
Kinston. Aug. 20—At a business
conference held here last night plans
were set in motion for a campaign to
make the 1932 tobacco acreage 25 per
cent, less than that of 193).
Fred I'. Latham, of Belhaven,
known throughout the length and
breadth of North Carolina as a suc
cessful farmer, told representatives
troni 29 towns, coning from 19 coun
ties, that Eastern Carolina will come
out of thii. depression only so fast as
the people put into effect a well-bal
anced program.
We have gone through periods of
6-ccnt cotton and 5- to 7-cent to
bacco, but we did not have the ex
pensive roads, schools, radios, auto
mobiles, electric refrigeration and
other conveniences to keep up. As n
result of this depression two ugly
thoughts are creeping out. First, the
thought of confiscation, and the other
is repudiation." the speaker said.
I.atham appealed ti> the hankers pres
ent, representing practically every
hank doing business in the east, to
study the situation ami- grant extru
sions where extensions are justified.
i Senator Elbert S, Peel, of Wil
j liamston, introduced Miley ('. Glover,
trust officer of the Branch Banking
and 1 rust Company, of Wilson, who
spoke on, "Eastern Carolina as an In
vestment Held." (ilowr made it plain
that he considers Eastern Carolina
lands good investments at 50 pen cent,
'more than the presentp rices. "It I
had the money I would invest in East
ern Carolina faring now. In fact, I
have already made quite a lew invest
ments of this nature," tdover said.
His address dealt with the resources
of the State, as a whole.
Tobacco Acreage Cut
After the speech making, Robert
Fountain, merchant and banker, of
| I'ountain, and also a large land own-
I er, submitted resolutions which were
unanimously adopted calling for a
campaign to reduce the acreage of to
bacco in 1932, 25 per cent, less than
this year. He called upon the East
ern Carolina Chamber of Commerce
jto set up machinery for putting this
Jranipaign into effect immediately. It
is the purpose of the resolution to
get this campaign going before the
tobacco markets open September 1.
Speaking on this matter, President
Guy V. Smith took occasion to say
that he believed a sign-up now will,
help the prices for this present crop
and incidentally work to the advan
tage of the section next year.
BOARD WORKS ON
i SCHOOLBUDGETS
«•>!. I-
Allotments Will Hardly Be
Announced Before Sun
day or Monday
——♦
Unable to complete its work on the
many budgets before late tomorrow,
| the State Equalization Hoard will bard
ly announce the allotments for the 100
counties in operating the six months
schools before Monday. Yesterday,
the board continued working with the
budgets, giving much time to trans
portation costs.
The State Hoard, struggling over
.the problem of making $15,700,000 do
the work of $20,600,000 last year in
providing six months school terms,
breathed a sigh of relief yesterday
when it received from Attorney Gen
eral Dennis Briimmitt rulings on con
tested portions of the 1931 school law
which will insure saving to the state
of approximately $550,000.
The AtKorney General interpreted
the law on teachers' increment accru
als as applying to the present year,
thus saving the State $400,000 that
would have under the old system gone
into increases of salaries for teachers
with one or more years' experience.
Between three and four thousand
teachers, who will also suffer 111 per
cent pay cuts, will be affected by this
section of the law.
Through the Attorney General's rul
ing on the law affecting disbursements
to teafhers, requiring that teachers'
vouchers be handled through the coun
ty lioard instead of the money being
turned over to special districts as for
merly, a saving to the State of ap
proximately $150,(100 is looked for, but
complications will be added for the
special charter districts, most of
which have different systems of pay
ment.
I TOWN RATE. $2.10 1
v J
Although the 1931-32 budget
for the town of Williamson has
not been filed for public inspe£»—'
tion, pending approval by the Lo
cal Government Commission, Ra
leight, it is understood that it calls
for a tax rate of $2.10 on the SIOO
property valuation for the year
1931. While there is no reduction
in the rate itself, the amount of
tax to be collected will be less on
account of an eighty thousand dol
lar drop in property values. The
rate is based on the budget esti
— mate of one and one-half million
dollars, or approximately that a
mount.
General administration costs, in
cluding salaries in all departments
have been reduced and other gen
eral expense itmes have been low
ered in the new budget, it is un
derstood.
The budget is scheduled for
publication and inspection within
the next few days, it was learned
today.

SOME CAUSES OF
CROSSED EYES
•
Unexpected Relationship Is
Found Between Eyes and
the Master Hand
(By Secretary of North Carolina State
Board of Examiners in Optometry)
The study of the influence of, hered
ity upon tho physical condition of ,anv
individual is interesting. Much more
important, however, is a collection of
such facts from a large group of in
dividuals from which helpful conclus
ions may he drawn.
We find, for instance, unexpected re
lationship between the eyes and the
so-called master hand. Many children
develop cross-eyes in their early years,
that is, one of the eyes turns inward
or outward and does not join with the
eye in seeing. It is interesting
to note that when the eye which turns
is on the side opposite to the master
hand, in the majority of cases the cor
rection of the defect is simplified some
what.
In some individuals it has been
found that persons who were naturally
left-handed hut have been diverted by
some unwise parent or teacher into the
use of the right hand as the master
hand have also developed crossed eyes.
It has been observed that about W
per cent of stammering and speech
difficulties "are cases where the mas
ter hand and the dominant eye are
not on the same side of the body.
Left-handed ptrsons should be en
couraged to use their left hands, and
no influence should be brought to bear
upon them to do otherwise. The child
should be alolwed to develop natur
altyMn this respect, and by so deing
the coordination of 'the eyes, the abili
ty to estimate size, distance, propor
tion, and position will be greatly ben
efited. These are all essential In the
safe driving of motor vehicles.

Fastern Carolina farmers, and while
prices are not high, they are said to
compare favorably and even more so
with those paid last season.
I he Export lobacco Company went

Mr. Win. K, Ingram, returning frjm

remarks to make in connection with
the prospects 'for the local markets.
I he low price in (icorgia, in many in
stances, is just liecause the quality is
sorry, Mr. Ingram stated. Tobacco
tailing in the lower grades is cheaper
than it was last season, but the bet
ter quality is selling about the
ii • not better, Mr kngram stated as
his belief about the prices. Referring
to the farmers in Georgia, Mr. Ingram
stated that they are in a pitiful plight,
that dry weather limited the food
cro'ySj- and they are getting nothing tor
their sorry tobacco. Half ol the mar
kets in that state w ill close today, and
j "lily a few will remain open the re
