No New Developments In County's Politics ♦ , While a few formal announcements L have been made this wgek, no nei/j political developments have been noted in the county during the past few days. However, a three-cornered race for 'register of deeds was rumored, Rev. J. T. Wildman, writing in his Parinele items for the Robersonville I Herald, saying: "There seems to he a well-founded rumor that we are to furnish our share of excitement in the coming con test for county officers. We are ex pecting our mayor, F. S. Powell, to get in the race again for register of deed*. The only reason he failed, to win last time was that he did not get votes enough. This time he will sure do better. And the only thing dis- [ like about the whole business is that if he is elected Parmele will lose a, uplendid mayor. It took him a long time to become mayor, but once in he is so popular that no one dares to run against him."

IS ADVOCATE OF RETRENCHMENT IN GOVERNMENT Denies Tow Charges Made Against Him By One of His Opponents "We must manage our government at less cost and establish ourselves on a saner foundation 41 we are to re cover from this depression," the Hon orable A. J. Maxwell, candidate for the governorship nomination, told a small gathering in the county court house here last Wednesday noon. Following a brief by Elbert S. Peel, the present commis sion of revenue said* we were headed for ruin unless we retrench and change our policies followed in making gov ernmental expenditures. He referred to the three million dollars saved by State operation of the roads, and point rd out that similar savings and dras tic cuts in expenditures must be made if we are to save ourselves, Mr. Maxwell directed no charges against his opponents, the Messrs. Eli ringhaus and Fountain, but he did not deny two reports circulated by Mr. Ehringhaus. "That opponent says 1 have been the soul of the tax laws in North Carolina for 25 years, and if they are wrong I should be blamed," was one of the first charges vi&brous ly denied by Mr. Maxwell. In IVI7, Mr. Maxwell explained, he attempted to have the tax burden lifted from land, and from 1921 until 1931 no tax was levied on land for the state gov ernment. Since 1921 the state has ac cepted more and more of the county ' obligations, deriving its revenue from an income tax and other sources than land. "F'rom 1921 lo 1929, when tax I burdens became so great, I warned against thein, and I am not responsi i ble," he said, adding that no one lis- I tened to him then. While Mr. Maxwell did not say Mr. Ehringhaus was an administration can , didate, he did deny he himself, was ' one, as Mr. Ehringhaus' had claimed iin a speech delivered in Greensboro recently. "I have not pledged my can , didacy to any one group, but I do 'pledge it to the people of North Caro lina and do it publicly," he declared. "And the people know that I am jiot an administration candidate," Mr. Maxwell said. "However, I have no criticism to offer O. Max Gardner, the man who appointed me commissioner of revenue." j "1 am in favor of the removal of the 15-cent state levy for schools and a new and complete revaluation of prop erty by the next General Assembly as soon as it can do it." Continuing, Mr. Maxwell said he was against the short ballot, that there would hardly be an encroachment there. "But I do not believe local boards have the right to issue bonds be/ond certain limits, and especially without the approval of (Continued on page four) * Chevrolet Belonging To Semmie James Burned ■ • • - A six-cylinder Chevrolet sedan, said i to belong to Sammie James, of Rob ersonville or Parmele, was burned on i the Everetts road about 4 miles from i here some time last Wednesday night, the fire completely destroying the body I and rear tires and wheels.

JUDGMENT OF S2OO RETURNED IN DICUS CASE Case Given To Jury Tues day Night; Verdict Is , Returned Wednesday After disposing of three cases in :our days, the Martin County Superior Court dismissed the jurymen late yes terday and today is hearing various motions, or many term it, "calling the docket." The court will recon vene next Monday morning to com plete the two weeks term provided for the trial of civil cases only. So far the court has dished out judgments amounting to a little over SSOO, a sum that reflects depression and hardly amounts to the cost of the work carried on. A judgment for S2OO was awarded thcVplaintiff, Dicus; in his suit against the Virginia. Electric and Power Com pany' by a jury last Wednesday mottling. In the case called the first tlfmg Monday morning, the plaintiff claifrt£d\ that the construction of the power Company's transmission line over his \ property in- and adjoining kobersonvitle was damaged $4,500. All day Monday, the court heard evidence, and it was late Tuesday aft ernoon when the attorneys completed their remarks to the jury. Judge Moore instructed the jury and told the members they were at liberty to spend. the night at home and reach their . verdict Wednesday morning. After arguing the case for a little over an hour, the jury allowed dam age in the sum of S2OO, it being unof ficially' learned that one or two mem bers favored awarding SI,OOO or SSOO damages while others were of the opinion that the SBS damage set up by a special commission was sufficient. They compromised and set the fig ure at S2OO. Fenfler Kespass was awarded a judgment in the sum of $226.30 against John James, the suit resulting from an automobile wreck more than a year ago on the Jamesville road. W. L. Stalls was given a SIOO judg ment against the Standard Oil Com pany for the alleged breaking of a contract by the company. A claim of the Company for five months' rent was disallowed.

Advertiser* Will Pnd Our Col uma a Latchkey to Over Sixteen Hundred Martin County Hone* ESTABLISHED 1898 MANY FARMERS POISON BEDS TO CHECK DISESAE County"Agent Advises All Farmers To Spray Plant Beds Immediately With blue mold reported to have already attacked tobacco plant beds in Cross Roads, Poplar Point, Jamesville, Griffins, Bear Grass, Williams ton and probably other townships, County Agent Tom B. Brandon yesterday ad vised all plant bed owners to spray their plant beds in ail clfort to check the deadly '"disease. Several beds have been ruined, ac-' cording to reports received here, and all are in danger, it is 'believed. Mr! Geo. S. Moore, local farmer, found the disease in his plant bed this week, and Messrs. J. S. Avers, J. G. Staton reported their plants had been attack ed in certain beds. In the plant bed ol Mr. Moore, the plants had withered and died, first in a small square,, the disease later spreading to other parts of the bed. He, used poison yester day morning, and it could not be learned whether the.spray checked the spread of the disease or not. Accord ing tf reports coming from the Ball Gray farm in Jamesville Township, the disease is present in plant beds there. Farmers throughout the county are said to be keeping a close watch on the beds, while -others are watching | and spraying their plants. As far as it could be learned from the county agent here yesterday morning, the disease lias not lieen found in those | beds where poison was used. How ever, it was learned this week that one of Mr. J. S. Ayers' tenants had spray and the plants died. An investigation showed that the disease had attacked the plants before the poison was .used. Plants outside the bed, hut nearby, died and they had ; not been - sprayed, unquestionably ' proving that the poison did not kill ] those in the bed, it was said. I Mr. Brandon says that the cost of 1 spraying is not very much, and that he. believes Martin farmers will do i well to take no chances and go ahead and spray their plants.
