RESUME WORK IN
SUPERIOR COURT
THIS MORNING
SIO,OOO Law Suit Started
Against Francis Barnes
Local Young Man
Disposing of only a few cases the
early part of the week, the Martin
County Superior Court reconvened
here this morning after enjoying a
holiday yesterday.
With a new jury in the box, the
court started the SIO,OOO law suit
brought by Miss Ocie Waters and Ed
gar Brown, of Jamesville, against
Francis Barnes, local man. The de
fendant, through his attorney, A. R.
Dunning, is entering a counter suit
for the same amount, plus S3OO men
tioned as damage to his automobile.
In their complaint, the plaintiffs al
lege that the defendant was driving
recklessly in January, 1930, on High
way 90 just below Jamesville, and that
as a result he ran into their tar, caus
ing permanent injury to them. The
allegations wre denied by the defense,
and at 10:30 this morning a large
number of witnesses were sworn in
at the direction ui the plaintiff's at
torneys, Ward and Critcher. It looks
as if the case will continue for quite
■ while, as there arc many witnesses
to be heard.
The early part of January, 1930.
the defendant's car and that of the
Plaintiff Brown were in a collision,
causing seriou.s injury to several per
sons. Young Barnes was in a Wash
ington hospital for rveral wicks, and
Miss Waters was in the care of a
physician for some time. Barnes was
returning from Plymouth alone when
he met the car in which the plain
tiffs and Miss Nannie Davenport and
Russell Martin were riding.

THANKSGIVING
IS QUIET HERE
.Day Passes With No Auto
. Wrecks, or Hunting
Accidents Reported
Quietness surrounded the observ
ance of Thanksgiving in this com
munity, the day passing with no
wrecks, hunting accidents, or other
accidents to mar the the day.
Hunters flocked to the woods in great
numbers during the day, the dry sea
son limiting their game catches, how
ever. Business activities were even
more limited than they usually are on
Sundays. A goodly number of local
people saw the Virginia-Carolina foot
ball game in Chapel Hill, but for the
most part the day was one for rest.
"Thank God, and repent," Rev. Z.
T. Piephoff, Presbyterian pastor, urged
a fair-sized congregation assembled in
the Baptist church here for the an
nual Thanksgiving sermon. That serv
ice was the only one planned for the
day.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
County Authorities Asked
To Assist in Enforcing

blamed for most of the fatalities. (
Responsibility of the success of thej
campaign to decrease the accidents

OYSTER HABITS
ARE STUDIED BY
BEAUFORT MAN
Bright Future for Oyster
Production In Sounds
And River Mouths
When an oyster makes whoopee—
and it is definitely established that
he ''drinks like a fish"—he contradicts
most of those age-old comparisons re
flecting on hint, and particularly "as
dumb as an oyster," making a record
that thoroughly convinces that he is
"as high as a kite."
Oysters, their habits, customs, pe
culiarities, likes and dislikes, and, in
fact, complete records, are being made
the subject of interesting studies by
Dr. H. F. Prytherch, Director of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries bi
ological station at Beaufort, and his
reports are enlightening.
For instance, they cement one side
of the shell of an oyster to a brick in
S glass basin of water. To the top
shell they cement a small rod, which
is connected with proper mechanism
to a point, which rests on a blackened
revolving cylinder. They turn on the
mechanism and add u little stimulant
to the water. The oyster, stimulated,
writes a dizzy record on the revolving
cylinder, thus recording his reactions
to the stimulant. They watch his
growth and development and thus find
the type of water best suited for oy
ster farming.
They go out into the sounds and
river mouths, get samples of waters
and of oysters growing in such wa
ters, and in this manner determine the
kinds of waters in which the oysters
thrive best and develop the best flav
ors.
"It will not be long before much
of the bottoms of the inland water
way in thi* State will be planted in
oysters, as much of the area through
which it passes is admirably suited to
oyster growing," said Dr. Prytherch,
on a recent trip of water and oyster
inspection, adding that this will offer
employment to hundreds more North
Carolinians and furnish an edible, pal
atable and healthful food to many
thousand*.
"The oyster has about all of the
health and strength-giving qualities
needed by the human body," Dr. Pry
therch said. He is authority for the
statement that an oy*ter drinks 12 gal
lons of water a day. The water
passes between the bi-valve* and the
oyster takes from it all desirable ani
mal and vegetable matter it contains.
The oyster contains such desirable
acids as are found in fruits, plenty of
albumen, and the dark part, often re
ferred to as the entrails, i* the liver,
containing plenty of iodine, he said.
"Some day," *aid Dr. Prytherch, the
"people of North Carolina will realize
what a health-giving and strengtht
producing asset they have in the oy
ster beds in the sound* and river
mouth*, and when they do oy*ter de
velopment will take it* place as one of
the important industriea of the State."
In real cold weather, the oyster
"closes up like a clam," his heart *top*
beating, and he hibernates, coming
back to life a* the water warm* up
again.

Total of 65 in Industrial;
Accidents During Period
Of Twelve Months
Time lost from work through, in-1
dustrial accidents in North Carolina
in the past two years would extend
nearly 2,400 years, or about 500 years
before the birth of Christ, the report
of the North Carolina Industrial Com
mission, administrating the Work
men's Compensation Act, shows.
Accidents have been materially, re
duced the past year, ended June 30,
1931, as compared with the year lie
fore, however due largely probably to
two factors: the lessing of industrial
operation during the depression period
and the efforts of the commission, em
ployers, and insurance carriers to. re
duce t(ie accidents through safety con
ferenceis and instructions.
The report shows that Martin Coun
ty industries furnished 65 of the acci
dent cases, but 28 of them were medi
cal cases only, in which no compensa
tion is paid for disability of less than
one week. In s the other cases the in
jured employees received $2,876 in
compensation, and the medical fees in
all cases in this county amounted to
$2,525 for the yast year.
Accidents are divided into five
classes, the number of each class in
this county being as follows: perma
nent partial disability, 5; temporary
total disability, 32; medical cases only.
28.
Every county in the State is repre
sented, but four of them had less than
10 accidents. Guilford led in number
of accidents, with 2,650, while Meck
lenburg led in amount of compensa
tion paid, $74,467, to injured employees
or dependents of deceased employees,
and $46,202 in medical fees.
! During the past year, accidents re
ported reached 28,750, or 4,059 Tea*
(than the 33,709 of the year before.
Compensation paid to injured work
eri and families of deceased workers
'amount to $979,078, and the fees paid
to doctors reached $532,728 last year,
'as compared with compensation of $!,-
1583,025 and doctors' fees of $719,757
the year before.
I Death cases numbered 81 last year
and 138 the year before; permanent to
! tat disability cases last year numbered
jfive and 15 the year before;'perma
nent partial disability cases last year
|numbered 657 and 943 the year before;
, temporary total disability, 7,702 last
'year and 9,004 the year before, while
'medical cases only, those in which the
work was able to return to work witli

Sixteen Peanut Belt Towns
- Represented at Rich
Square Meeting
- ---- '
Sixteen towns from the peanut belt
of North C arolina and \ irgmia were
represented at.the third of a scries of
peanut meetings l«ein K In Id in tin- belt
at Rich Square Tuesday night--of this
week. Chairman W* A. Tayloe, of
Aulander, presided, over the meeting
and N. G. Hartlett, secretary of the
Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce, the sponsoring organization of
this campaign for better prices for
peanuts, acted as secretary. In re
sponding to the welcome address of
Mayor Jaities- t A. Worrell, of Rich
Squarr, Mr. W. R. Hamptm, of Ply
mouth, stated that the pcanuV grow
ers of Washington County are heed
ing the advice of the leaders of this,
movement and are storing their pea
nuts instead of selling them at the very
low prices now prevailing. A sump
tuous supper was served by the la
dies of Rich Square.
The county chairmen made their re
ports as to the amount of peanuts be
ing sold in their respective localities.
M. O. Blount, of Bethel, chairman for
I'itt County, stated that the section
around Bethel, Had put into storage,
till the peanuts * that room could be
found for, and several cars had been
slipped to Suffolk for storage there.
He said that not over 25 per cent of
the peanuts there had been sold. H.
11. Taylor,-of Harrellsville, chairman
• for Hertford C'ofeuty,- made a similar
statement, with the .percentage about
the same. C. J. Shields, of Scotland
Neck, for Halifax, estimated about 30
per cent -of peanuts already sold; J.
T. Bolton, chairman -for Northamp
ton, reported about 35 per cent of the
crop in his county already sold. A.
1.. Alexander, of Washington County,
'put his county at 10- per tent sold,
the remainder being in storage. Thos.'
N. l'eele, of Lewiston, reporting for
Bertie, said that Bertie County farm
ices are holding rather satisfactorily in
'must sections of the county.
I C. W. Pond, of Pond Bros:, sliell
ers and cleaners, of Suffolk, made the
! principal talk of the evening, in which
he said that the holding movement
had already been worth a great deal
to the peanut prices and that if it is
kept up he saw no reason- why the
pricf should not advance.
The majority of the discussion cen
tered around" the matter of the effe'et
! the unsold peanuts going to market
'on trucks is having on the prices.
| This means that peanut that are load
jcd on trucks and carried to the mar- *
kit; without ever hiving made "fffiy
arrangements with the cleaners and
shelters in advan as to the sale of
such nuts. . This, in the opinion of
.the cleaners present at the meeting,
has a very damaging effect on the niar
keti. There is no .objection to deliv
ering peanuts by truck after they have
been sold, the buyers said.
A committee was appointed to con
fer with the cleaners at an early date
to talk matters over that are of mu
tual interest to all parties, and a res
olution was unanimously passed en
dorsing th- matter of holding scction
j wide meeting, and it was agreed to
hold another will u the next two
week at some central point, either Au
lander oi Ahoskie. The date and
place of the next meeting will be an
nounced later. It was stated that the
meeting Tuesday night showed more
determination to hold the peanut crop
than any yet held.
