YEARLY REPORT
OF HOME AGENT
MADE THIS WEEK
Large Volume of Work Is
Reflected in Report of
Mtss Sleeper
♦
The report of the home agent!* ac
tivities in this county during the fiscal
year recently ended reflects an enor
mous amount of work handled by and
under the direction of Miss Lora E.
Sleeper. The report, as' filed by the
agKit, with the commissioners this
w«k, is as follow*:
The home agent traveled 12,437
miles during the year in the county,
spent 228 days in the field, and 53
dagrs in the office, distributed 862 bul
letins, prepared 29 circular letters, and
distributed 3,420 copies, held-111 meet
ings with the women with 1,068 in at
tendance, aid held 142 with the jun
iors with 2JJ69 in attendance.
TV women carried the clothing
project all the year with the exception
of July and August, which were given
to food preservation. The women
made 114 dresses, 23 coats, and 95
pieces of underwear during the year
at an estimated saving to the women
of ever SBOO. During the spring, 15
women remodeled hats varying in age
from one to five years, so that they
cotrfd be worn and be in style. This
saved the women the price of a new
hat, or over S2O.
As a result of the food preservation
project the women canned over 41,000
cortainers of fruits and vegetibles for
witter, and the big part of this was
done during July, August, and Sep
tember. The women in the county
boaght $206 worth of canning equip
ment, which included three sealers for
canning in tin and ten steam pressure
conkers. Three new clubs for women
were formed during the year, making
the total in the county 11.
Twelve women attended the State
short coarse held in Raleigh this year.
This is the largest number ever to at
tend.
Two tours were held in the spring,
one to Currituck County to visit im
proved homes,, another to Halifax
County to attend the achievement day
aad visit the mills. The combined
roond trip fare was given the 81 wo
mea attending for the small sum of
fIJI.
There were 332 girls enrolled in the
14 dub* in the county last year and
18 boys. The boys were enrolled in
the poultry project. One boy increased
hi* flock from 50 to 300 birds during
the year. The boys, as a result of
their project, built several feeders for
their flocks and smalt equipment. The
curb market opened in the spring held
36 market days with total sales of
|923.93. The women have received
help through the curb market in buy
ing school books, making necessary
improvements, etc. The location has
been a handicap to the increased sales
of the market this year, but it is hoped
new arrangements can be made for
this project.
The agent attended 32 additional
meetings during the year related to
the work, to which there were 4,064
in attendance. An increased amount
of work for 1932 is evident by the en
rollments in the junior clubs, and the
number of adult clubs, there being a
total of 26 in the county in all town
ships.

the criminal docket' is one of the

a varied list of cases, including a mur

against Phylistine Barnhill, New Bern
negro. Barnhill is on trial in connec
tion with the death of Wheeler Has

TWO BUILDINGS
HERE ENTERED
BY INTRUDERS
a
Very Few Articles Missed
at Either of the Three
Places Entered
1
Robbers, believed to be amateurs at
the practice, entered the Culpepper
Hardware Company store and the of
fices of the Branch Banking and Trust
Company here some time between 12
and 6 o'clock yesterday morning. An
entrance was gained to the bank of
fices when the screen was pulled off
and a back window was forced open.
Using an old rusty iron pipe, the rob
ber or robter* climbed to the second
story of the hardware store and forced ;
open a back window.
If the robbers went into the banking
rooms, it could not be detected. In
the offices a few books were out of
place, but nothing was missed or dam
aged there.
While the hardware owners could
miss no goods from their shelves, the I
would-be burglar made a mess of the I
cash register. Unacquainted with the I
simple workings of the machine, the I
ignorant scoundrel failed to turn the]
crank and attempted to force the!
money drawer open with a screw 1
driver. He tore off several parts from 1
the machine, but failed to open the I
drawer. Mr. J. C. Anderson, owner, '
stated that the intruder would have '
found on|y a small amount of change '
| had he succeeded in opening the cash ;
■ drawer.
The bank and hardware store are
only a few doors apart, but it is be
lieved that each building was entered 1
by, different parties. Officers have the
rases in charge, but no arrests had
been made up until noon today.
Early this week, the Williamston
Cafe was entered, "but they didn't
even taks as much as a juicy steak,"
Jimmy Pappas, owner and proprietor,
stated this morning. The cafe was {
entered through a back window. ,
GROWERS CAN
EAT PEANUTS
Take a Tip, and Don't Eat
Too Many of Goobers ,
' at One Time
'—
While most of us are prone to la
ment our financial conditions and over
look the blessings, the News and
Observer says that the peanut'farmers
are better off that those who plant '
only cotton or tobacco. We are agreed '
but take a tip—just don't eat too
many of the goobers at one time.
The News and Observer goes on to 1
say:
"You cannot eat cotton or wear it j
until it is manufactured. You can j
chew tobacco and, thereby for a time,
forget the low prices, but you cannot t
live on the weed. It seems that the
peanut grower, when the worst comes
can keep soul and body together with
a diet of peanuts and peanut oil and j,
peanut butter and the like.'*
Mr. G. H. Cox, Robersonville Ford
man, remarked a few days ago that
his family found home-manufactured
peanut butter more appetizing than 1
that prepared by the regular" manu- ,
facturers. "We cook the peanuts and
then grind them in a regular meat
grinder, and when mixed with a lit
tle Wesson oil, the butter is really de
liciou*," Mr. Cox said.
Unfavorable weather apparently af
fected the delivery of peanuts in ex
change for subscription to the En- i
terprise this week, but yesterday and |
today they moved fairly rapidly. The
names of those making deliveries yes- 1
terday are a* follows:
Mrs. J. G. Long, Jamesville; Jos.
E. Griffin, Williamston Route 4; W. '
P. Harris, Robersonville Route 2; M.
E. Jones, Williamston Route 4; J. L.
Whitfield, Robersonville, Route 1.

HELD MONDAY
"Dutch" Supper Will Be
Held at Ahoskie On
December 14
The next meeting of the time mer- I
chants, bankers,'" manufact- !
urers, peanut cleaners, shelters, stor- I
age warehousemen, and peanut grow
ers will be held at Ahoskie December J
14 at 7 o'clock in the form of a Dutch
supper, it was learned here today.
Everybody interested in furthering the
peanut industry is invited to attend.
H. H. Taylor, chairman for Hert
ford County, plans the best attendance
yet of any of the meetings. The com
jniittee that went to Suffolk and met
'with the claeners and shellers Decem
jber will have a full report to make
lat this meeting. Chairman W. A.
jTayloe, of the central committee, and
Secretary N. G. Bartlett, of the East
ern Carolina Chamber of Commerce
are well pleased with the campaign
]up to now. Those expecting to at-
I tend the meeting in Ahoskie are asked
,to notify P. E. Duke, Robert Jerni
gan, or Mr. Gerock, all of Ahoskie.
The committee that conferred with
! the cleaners and Suffolk
was made up of Chairman W. A. Tay
loe, Aulander; H. H. Taylor,
rellsville; B. B. Howell, Tarboro; W.
J. Brown, George, N. C.; C. J. Shields,
Scotland Neck; and Secretary N. G.
Bartlett. The main thing discussed
with the cleaners and shellers was the
matter of trucks .hauling peanuts to
market* without having them sold in
advance. The cleaners admitted that
| this has had a damaging effect on the
.market. They ■. promised to cooperate
lin this movement as far as possible.
| Another matter was the question of
] their selling No. 2's to the oil mills
for oil purposes. T/tis developed a
'discussion as to whether this could be
done legally in the fare of the "con
stant decree" which the government,
issued five years ago. However, this
matter will be formally presented to
the cleaners at their next meeting, and
the secretary of the Eastern Carolina
Chamber of Commerce will have a
full report of their findings for the
meeting at Ahoskie.
| "It was evident from what they ,
isaid, the holding movement has been !
worth while," Chairman W. A. Tay- j
I loe stated Rafter the meeting. The
J committee working on this campaign
iwas urged to continue the got>d work
by those interested in the peanut in
jdustry.

CURB MARETK TO
MOVE LOCATION
—• —•
To Move From Warehouse
To County Courthouse
Next Week, Dec. 18
By MISS LORA SLEEPER j
At the regular session of the coun
ty commissioners Monday, permission
was granted to move the curb- market
j from the warehouse to the courthouse.
■ This change will be made next week, f
and by moving we are hoping to be |
better able to accommodate otirfpa-'
trons and give our sellers a more.
comfortable place to sell. The prices!
I for. this week are as follows:
h Eggs, 26c; turnips, 4c a pound; sal-
Had," 4c a pound; collars, 5c a pound;
cakes, 20c a pound; cream, 30c a pint;!,
walnuts, 50c a pound; corn meal, 30c ,
a peck; chickens, live, 23c a pound;
hens, live, 20c a pound..
The cooperation of the women 'in
town is asked in the support of the ,
I regulations of the market. It has been 1
reported that the women selling at;
the market have been peddling pro-j,
duce after the market. This practice I
hurst the curb market, and is unfair!
to our good patrons. The people of j
the town arc asked kindly to refrain
from buying from peddlers on the'
market day and help our market to |
grow.

'Any Thing Fair in Love and
War But Not Hunting,
Game Warden Says
Now that, the hunting season is in
t (full swing, County Game Warden J
W. Hines is addressing the following .
plea to hunters of Martin County: j
"Any may be fair in love and war,
but hunting is neither love nor war,
and all is not fair in this great out- j
door sport. Hunting is no longer
merely a search for food; it ranks with
pother outdoor'sports as a recreational
pastime ,or game. All games have
rules to. insure each player an equal
chance t# win by wit or skill rather |
, than by taking unfair advantage of j
j his opponents. The rules for the game
. of hunting are game laws enactedv by
.' the State or Nation to whom the
i game belongs. Those who transgress
( ; the rules by hunting before the season j
I open, by exceeding bag limits, or by
hunting otherwise unlawfully are dis
playing poor sportsmanship. Let's be
> fair with our fellow hunters and with
I the State that grants us the limited j
privilege to enjoy a part of that which
• it holds as a trust for the pleasure and
I benefit of this and future generations.

Comes to write against your name.

WAS TEACHER IN
LOCAL SCHOOLS
FOR MANY YEARS
Died at Her Home On Sim
mons Avenue Here Early
Yesterday Morning
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Harrell, teach
er in tile local high school for a num
jber of years', and one of the communis
ty's most remarkable artd greatly be
loved women, died at her home on
| Simmons A ventre here yesterday- morn
;ing at 6 o'clock of cancer. In declin
ing health lor several months, "Miss
, Bettie, as she was favorably known
to hundred of young boys and girls,
I continued her duties as teacher in the
school room until last September,
| when it was first learned' that her
health was in a serious state. Even
| then she reluctantly resigned the dut-
I ies she had so long performed in
j training youth.
| For several weeks after she quit her
teaching staff, Mrs. Harrell was active
in her home, and it was only a com
paratively short time before her death
that she was forced to her bed.
The daughter of James Edwin
Moore and wife, Jane Sykes Moore,
Mrs. Ilarrell was born here Novem
ber 6, 1870. Her father, recognized as
a lawyer of ability, iva? prominent
throughout this section of the State.
In early youth Mjrs, Ifcjrrcll attended
the old William**?? Academy; later
receiving instruction in a school con
ducted by the late Stephen Outter
bridge. After studying there for some
tittle she went to the Wilson Academy
in Wilson, where she was taught by
the late Sylvester Ilassell. In later
years she studied at the University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Co
lumbia University, New York City.
In early womanhood, she taught in
the school conducted by Professor
Outterbridge and in the one at JameS
ville. On January .23, 18V3, she was
married to Dr. William H. Harrell,
who died November 2>, 1905, leaving
her with three children, I)r. William
H. Harrell, naval officer stationed at
Norfolk; Miss Sarah Harrell, and
I James Edwin Harrell, both of William
iSton. She also leaves two brothers.
Judge Clayton Moore, of the North
Carolina Superior Court bench, and
Maurice S. Moore, of the Virginia
Electric & Power Company here.
Soon after the death of her husband,
I Mrs. Hifirrcll accepted a position in
the local school, and hi it she remained
loyal, never tiring in the training of
the hundreds of pupils who went to
her for instruction in all scholastic
subjects. During the many years as
teacher in the local schools, she spent
countless hours that would have prov
ed too burdensome, too nerve-wrack
ing for many teachers that her pupils
might fit themselves for the future,
and as a result of her efforts young
men and women, trained in her class
room, are succeeding in many of the
States today. It was with regret that
she was forced from her duties in the
school here after 23 years of faithful'
and untiring service.
The love for her home and family
was paramount, and to them she ren
dered a noble service, and there, as
well as in the schools, her task was
well done. - .
