Arrested In Connection
With Cafe Theft ,
O. L. James, young colored boy,
was arrested here Sunday night by
Officer Allsbrooks and" Chfef W. B.
Daniel in connection with the robbery
of the Williamston Cafe early that
morning. James, first denying the
robbery, later admitted it, stating that
he carted away about 60 pounds of
steaks, two boxes of cigars and cig
arettes, and a large quantity A canned
goods. The cigars, cigarettes, and
canned were recovered, but up
until noon yesterday the pay station
telephone, located in the cafe and be
longing to the local telephone com
pany, had not been recovered.
With only meager clues upon which
to start their search, officers tracked
James to ifiis home on Sycamore
Street, but found very ltitle of the
atolen goods. His arrest was effected
and the search was continued at the
home of James' sister, where more of
the stolen goods was recovered. Re
turning to the James' home yesterday
morning, Officer Allsbrooks recovered
Vnore of the stolen goods.
Using a strong wire, James said he
reached through the blades of a ven
tilating fan and removed the bar hold
ing shut the back door. He claims to
have handled the job without the aid
of other*. »
Matthew, Clayton, and Ira James,
brothers, were later arrested and
placed under S2OO bond each for the
alleged aiding and abetting larceny.
Justice of the Peace J. L. Hassell or
dered O. L. James held on the rob
bery charge under a SSOO bond. It
was also reported that a warrant
charging Abner James, the father, with
receiving goods, was pending.
At the hearing held before Justice
Hassell here yesterday afternoon, O.
L. James admitted receiving the stolen
goods, but denied breaking into the
cafe. He admitted where all the stol
en goods were hidden, and officers re
covered them.

ANSWER IS FILED
IN JOHNSON SUIT
Transfer Company Denies
Charges Made Following
Automobile Wreck
W. S. Williams, attorney for the
Hoffler-Boney Transfer Company, of
Mount Olive, this week filed an an
swer to the complaint made against
that company, denying virtually all
the allegations advanced by Mr. Ed
gar Johnson, of Robersonville, and
his attorneys, Messrs. H. G. Horton
and J. C. Smith, following an auto
mobile wreck near Wilson last No
vember. The defense alleged in its
answer that the accdent in which Mr.
Johnson was permanently injured was
"caused solely by the reckless, negli
gent, and careless driving of the plain
tiff." " "*
Mr. Johnson continues in bed at
his Robersonville home, and it is not
known when the $25,000 suit will be
called. -
An answer has also been filed in
the case of L. A. Clark against Mrs.
Margaret Bonner and Mrs. Mary
Moore, the paper denying the allega
tions advanced by Mr. Clark and his
attorney, A. R. Dunning, following ail
automobile accident in which the plain
tiff was badly injured last October. 1
The $20,000 suit has not been sched-|
uled for trial. The defense, in its an
swer, claims that it was the plaintiff's
"own negligence that contributed to
and was the proximate cause of such
injuries as he sustained."
Buy More Playifig Cards;
Smoke Fewer Cigarettes
The American people bought- more
playing cards but smoked fewer cig
arettes during 1931, according* to fig
ures compiled by the "fiureau of In
ternal ..Revenue. About 6,000,000,000
fewer cigarettes and 570,000,000 fewer
cigars were produced in the United
States in 1931 than in 1930. This de
cline of 5 per cent in the production
of cigarettes was the first recorded in
a decade. The production of cigar
ette papers and tubes, for the home
manufacture of cigarettes, -, increased,
however.
Playing cards production increased
by approximately 700,000 packs, as
compared with the precedng year, to
a total of 48,683,675 packs.'
Cold Kills Tomato Plants
In the Jamesville Section
"Many tomato plants were killed in
our section last week by cold weather,
but we are making preparations to
plant around 200 acres," Mr. Wendell
Hamilton, of Jamesville, said yester
day afternoon. Additional seed will
be sown within the next few days, and
no great setback was expected in the
crop this spring, Mr. Hamilton ex
plained.
Fishing in the Roanoke was said to
be at a standstill at Jamesville as a
result of high water and £old weath
er, but preparations are now being
made to start operations with the seine
there next Monday or Tuesday, Mr.
Hamilton said.
Soil Surveyor Plans Work
In Washington County
S. O. Perkins, United States De
, partment of Agriculture employee who
made a survey of the soils in this
county back in. 1927, returned to this
section yesterday and is making prep
arations for a survey of the soUs in
Washington County. He spent only
a short time here yesterday afternoon
before continuing to his new task.
Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, March IS, 1932
were galloping at breakneck apeed
when the driver tightened too
much on the left line, pulling
them on the sidewalk at the fire
station and almost overturning the
wagon. The runaways cleared an
electric light polfe by only a few
inches, barely aliasing, on the
other side, the plate glass windows
in the B. S. Courtney furniture
store.
No damage resulted, but the in-
cident reminded one of the old
days when runaways were frequent
on the streets here.
HEALTH REPORT
I FOR FEBRUARY
Goodly Number Chicken
pox Cases Reported
During Month
A marked increase in the number of
contagious diseases was reported in
the county last month, it was learned
from County Health Officer J. H.
Saunders' office this week. However,
the report reflected nothing serious in
the health situation in the county, a
majority of the reportable diseases be
ing cases of chickenpox. Of the 16
chickenpox cases reported to the health
office, IS were found in Williamston
and one in HariVilton, all being among
white chiWren. It is understood that
the number of cases reported so far
this month is more than half as many
as were reported in February.
One case of German meajsles was
reported in Williamston, and one case
of scarlet fever was" reported in Oak
City. No diphtheria cases were re
ported during the month, fair and
warm 'weather prevailing during the
period apparently being the main cause
for the absence of that disease.
A few pneumonia cases were report
ed here and there throughout the
county, but as that disease is not re
portable, an exact number could not
be had. As a whole the month was
a healthy one in the county.
MYSTERY HOLE
IN PLANT BED
Believe Money Was Buried
Where Tobacco Seed
Were Sown Later
Mystery surrounds the digging of
a good-sized hole in the middle of a
tobacco bed pn the old Which
ard farm, near Oak -City, last Sun
day morning,' County Game Warden
Jno. W. Hines said here this morn
ing. *
Jack Smith, owner of the plant bed,
reported that he saw strangers near
the woods where the plant bed is lo
cated several weeks ago, that he paid
them no attention. Last Saturday
night late, an automobile is said to
have stopped near the same woods,
and continued after a stay of about an
hour. Going to the bed Sunday morn
ng to see _what the cold had dAhe to
his plants, Mr. Smith found a hole
about three feet deep and several feet
around right in the middle of the
bed.
Other than the belief that some one
had buried money there and then re
moved it, those acquainted with the
finding are at a loss to explain why
the holde was dug in the middle of the
plant bed under such mysterious sur
roundings.
Two-Thirds of State's
Area in Forest Lands
• North Carolina's total area is ap
proximately 31,000,000 acres. Approx
imately two-thirds of this area, or
some 20,568,000 acres, are classed as
I forest land. This includes both pro
ductive and unproductive acres. The
importance of putting two-thirds of the
jftate to it* most efficient use is of pri
mary concern. Nature intended that
land not needed for other purpose*
should be used for growing of forests.
The fact that virtually all land in the
state waa forested when the white
man first came to the country is proof
of the purpose for which that not oth
erwise needed was intended. In the
of'cities, cultivation of land,
and in other ways, man has upset the
balance of nature, making it more im
portant that he restore as much area
as possible to its original use.

KIDNAPPING IS
STILL MYSTERY
No Nearer a Solution Now
Than When Baby Was
First Kidnaped
Police admitted late yesterday that
they were no nearer a solution to the
kidnapping of the famous Lindbergh
child than they were the night he was
stolen from the crib in his parents'
home in Hopewell, N. J., two weeks
ago tonight. It was reported that the
parents had little hope for the return
of their 20-months-old son.
Reports, giving some hope for the
return of the child, were received from
several parts of the country, but they
proved to be futile clues.
One trail led out to Denver, another
to Kentucky, and a third into a set
tlement on Long Island. All three
were dim leads at best and brought in
no new information to hearten Col.
and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, par
ents of th"c stolen baby, or those help
ing them toward establishing a con
tact with the kidnappers.
I bus far, save for an occasional
short-lived ray of hope, the official
investigation has run into discourage
ment at every turn. And the passage
of still another day since 20-months
old Charfes Augustus, jr., was snatch
ed from his crib raised additional doubt
that the Lindberghs themselves have
had any word from the abductors since
the note that was left in the baby's
nursery. r" • _ —„—-
Hitherto unpublished details of that
note were Riven yesterday by a high
official in the inquiry. He said that
in addition to demanding a ransom
of $50,000, the message warned the
Lindberghs that they and hte baby
would be harmed if they told "a liv
ing soul" about the kidnapping. Previ
ously the United Press had learned
that finger prints on the nursery win
dow sill showed two men took part
in the kidnapping. These prints were
checked with criminal records through
out the east and indicated that the
crime was committed by .no "regis
tered" criminal.

THINK FIRE LOSS
IN COUNTY LESS
THAN REPORTED
Damage to 72,000 Acres of
Timberlands Believed
To Be SIOB,OOO _
Damage estimated at SIOB,OOO re
sulted to wooded ,areas in Martin
County last year from fires ranging
over approximately 72,000 acres of
timber lands, it was learned in a re
port released this week by the De
partment of Conservation and Devel
opment.
r It is believed that damage resulting
from forest fires* in this county last
year was the smallest suffered in a
number of years. No serious dam
age was reported in any section; how
ever the fire damage was more marked
in some areas than it was in others.
Much of the damage resulted in the
lower part of the county, with a few
fires destroying small timber tracts in
one or two of the other townships.
While it is difficult to determine
fire losses to timber lands, it is -the
opinion of many acquainted with the
woodland that the estimated losses in
this county arc placed at a very high
figure. It -is "a Iso believed that the
burned-over area estimated by the au
thorities takes in every woods fire
and probably a few built by campers.
In the list of 70 counties without
organized forest fire protection, Mar
tin ranks twelfth, or "the highest in
this immediate section. Hyde was
first in the list with an estimated loss
of SBBO,OOO, and a burned-over area
reported at 176,000 acres. Ten acres
were burned over in Guilford County,
resulting in a loss of s3l, the depart
ment report shows.
Heavy fogs hanging close to the
earth and smoke from forest, fires in
Counties as far away as SO, 75, and al
most 100 miles made traveling dan
gerous in this section at various times
during the year, bitt only a small por
tion of the smoke came from fires in
this county. Serious acidents tvere re
ported in Pitt County, and dangerous
ones resulted from fires in other coun
ties, only one minor automobile wreck
occurring in this county that could be
attributed to forest-fire smoke.
The loss in Hyde County was more
than twice as great as that for any
other single county, and down there
the fires were terrible, even burning
the peat soils to substantial depths,
according to reports received here.
Carteret County, where traveling was
probably hampered more than at any
other place in the State with the pos
sible exception of one or two western
districts, reported a loss estimated at
$176,480. . 7
Damage estimates in those coun
ties where forest fire protection work
is carried on are not available, but it
is known that an unusually heavy loss
Occurred ih a number of them during
the past year.
COTTON DRESSES
FOR GRADUATES
Girls in Two Martin County
Schools Plan to Wear
Inexpensive Garments
Young ladies in at least two Martin
County high sclfools will wear cotton
dresses during the commencement ex
ercises this year, it was learlied here
this week.
Seniors at Oak City announced
several weeks ago that they would be
graduated in cotton dresses this spring.
Young ladies at Robersonville this
week announced they would also wear
the inexpensive garments.
Miss Eva Peel, teacher in the Rob
ersonville schools, offered the follow
ing comment in connection with the
cotton dress announcement: "Not only
will the seniors be following a worthy
precedent set by other standard schools
but they will at the same time be fol
lowing the general economic trend,
and will, according to Paris dictation,
be decidedly in style."
GRIFFINS BIRTHS
AND DEATHS, 1931
Only Township In County
Having No Illegitimate
Births Last Year
Griffins Township did not do some
thinK the other nine township in the
county did last, year; it did not report
a single illegitimate birth during 1931.
And now hats off to the splendid mor
als of the people in that township of
b.omc-owners and farmers.
With 24 births, 11 white and 13 col
ored, the district had no high birth
rate, but on the other hand It had one
of the lowest death rates of any re
ported by the other nine.townships in
Only four deaths were reported
there during 1931, two among white
and two among colored ptople. The
resulting rate was 3.3 deaths per 1,000
population,. The birth rate was 19.6,
or 6.3 units below the Stste average
for 1930. j

AVERAGE FOR
APPLICATIONS
IS AROUND $l5O
Much Difficulty Experienc
ed In Filling Out
Some Loans
Approximately Z5 Martin farmers
had applied for government seed and
feed loans up until yesterday, after
noon, it was learned from Mr. W. T.
Meadows, who is filling out the ap
plication blanks here fon. the county.
The loans, according to Mr Meadows,
are averaging aro'uhd ,$l5O each, a
goodly number rangiug around SSO
and $75, and on lip to $250.
At one time yesterday there were
more than a dozen aplicants awaiting
their turns at the loan desk in Mr.
Meadows' office in the Roanoke-Dixie
Warehouse. Applications were receiv
ed from all parts of the county, and it
is believed that the quota allotted to
this county, will be used in its entirety.
Much difficulty has'been experienced
in filling out a number of the blanks,
especially in' tho>>e cases where the
borrowers do not'own their own lands
and where they have to net" releases
from their landlords.
Ihe applications for loans have to
be approved by the office of the Sec
retary of Agriculture in Washington,
and it is 'certain that some of the
loans will not be accepted by the gov
eminent*. Where the loans are re
fused, the government returns all pa
pers signed by the applicant, releas
ing him of any and all obligations he
accepted in an effort to procure a loan.
Several days will be required and
probably a longer time than that be
fore an answer to the loan applica
tions can be returned, and in most
cases the applicants will hear from
the agricultural department direct.
FREIGHT ENGINE

Freight service over the Plymouth

again. The. 'regular train and crew
turned around at this point, the com

m
MUCH BUSINESS
IN SMALL TOWNS
A ■ ♦
Is Nearly One-third of the
Total Reported in the
United States
• Retail trade in small city and rural
areas -in the United States is nearly
one-third of the total for the coun
try, figures gathered in the Census of
Distribution have just t revealed. This
trade amounts to some $15,515,125,000
annually, or 30 per cent of the na
totl's retail business.
That general stores have by no
means lost their important position
in the more sparsely settled areas is
evident by the (act that the Census
shows the 87,683 stores of this kind
doing a business of $1,927,622,697 in
1929—approximately 4 per cent of the
entire retail business of the country
and 12 per cent of retail sales of
all stores in the small city and rural
areas.
Mr. Charles D. Bohannan, in charge
of Rural and Agricultural Dstribution
for the Census Bureau, after studying
these* figures, observes that "in spite
of the many discussions as to the
decadence of the small city and town
as a retail trading point, 'due to the
development of good roads, automo
biles and other factors, they ve at a,
matter of fact far from dead, stocked
with desirable kinds of-goods and ren-
will probably be a long time before
the retailer in this area passes out of
the picture, if ever. Thia ia indeed
fortunate from the standpoint of both
the residents in this area and from
that of our national economic and so
cial life."
