Mass Meeting for Women
at Church Today at
4:00 O'clock
#
With ■ mass meeting for women
at the church this afternoon at 4 o'-
clock and the preaching service at
. 7:30 o'clock, the short series of re
ligious services held in the Memorial
Baptist chufch Here by E. McNeill
Poteat will come to a close.
Beginning here last Sunday morn
ing the Raleigh preacher has spoken
each night this week to appreciative
groups of the community's people and
has had a wide contact with the local
public at large.
In addition to the formal meetings
held in the church, the visiing minis
ter has spoken to a very large number
of Martin County school children, in
cluding those at Williamston, James
ville, Everetts and Robersonville.
One if the most interesting appear
ances he has made here was before the
Kiwanis club members at their Wed
nesday luncheon when lie' spoke to
thirty-three business and professional
men of the community about the situ
ation in the far East. Having spent
12 years of his life in China, Mr. Po
teat has an unusual grasp of the sit
uation in that area, and spoke in
terestingly to a most appreciative
group.
His sermons in the local church j
have been of a high order. He has set
forth with brilliance and in an in- ■
teresting manner, the content of the i
themes he has employed. And the J
type of preaching he has done here j 1
is calculated to leave behind him a.'
deposit of moral and spiritual values!'
that will be of abiding worth in this i
community.
In the service this afternoon it is
understood that Mr. Poteat will
speak concerning the modern-day mis
sion outlook and problem. And this
is calculated to be one of the high
lights in his several addresses here.
At 7:30 o'clock tonight, he will hold
the concluding service in the auditor
ium of the church. He plans to leave
for Raleigh early tomorrow morning
where he will occupy his own pulpit
at the Sunday services.

aa the counta are completed ia
the thouaanda of precincts through
out the country. The firat re

DELINQUENT TAX
LIST PREPARED;
TO BE PUBLISHED
Collections Much Better So
Far This Year Than
In 1931
Preparations are now going forward
for the advertising of Martin Coun-,
ty's 1931 delinquent tax lists, it was
learned from the sheriff's office this
week. According to reliable informa
tion no further delay will be granted
property owners for the payment of
their 1931 taxes. The first advertise
ment will appear next week prepara
tory to the sale on the first Monday
in December.
Up to Wednesday .the sheriff's of
fice had collected approximately $190,-
000 of the $232,708.84 tax levy for the
year 1931. Many more accounts will
be paid between now and next week,
when the list will be advertised, bring
ing down the total number of delin
quent property owners to about one
half or two-thirds the size of the list
advertised last year! The marked de-j
crease in the number of delinquents'
is the result of delayed advertising and
selling, it is believed. Property own-]
ers have been given an extension of
six months, the advertising having
been scheduled to appear back in May.
During the six-months period, the
county paid 6 per cent for money,
whereas if it had collected the tax ac- (
counts it would have saved that much
and gained 4 per cent, commonly
known as "tax penalty." However, it i
is believed that the property owners,'
especially those who were unable to'
pay their taxes back in the spring,'
were greatly benefited by the delay.'
Collections of the 1932 list is ad-'
vancing rapidly, the sheriff stating
this week that approximately SIB,OOO
had already been paid in to the county.'
"Some property owners are paying
their taxes for the back years of 1930
and 1931, and then settling their 1932
accounts," the sheriff said in a spirit'
of optimism this week.

1 • -
I Meetings Have Met With
j Marked Success During
County Canvass
' According to information coming
I from Chairman F.lbert S. Peel, the !
several speakings conducted by the
Democrats in the county have met
with much success.
The candidates held a meeting in |
(iriffins Township at the Farm Life j
school last Wednesday night. Mr.' I
IJ. 1- Hassell opened with a short j
speech outlining the faults of the pres- J
I cnt administration and breathing a
[hope for the future with Franklin D. j
Roosevelt as chief executive and with
I a democratic congress in charge of
' the affairs at Washington.
Mr. R. J. Peel made the principal
| spetch. He outlined the ristory of the
I Republican party in this State, call
ling attention to its weaknesses, its
( mistakes, and its atrocities. He out
pined how under a democratic adminis-
I (ration North Carolina had gone for-
I ward to a new day and rising from
j the depths found its place as a leader j
I anion gthe states of the Union. He
I attacked the republican adininistra- j
lion giving attention to the crimes in i
| Harding's administration, the inactiv-'
ity in the Coolidge administration, and
' the inability in Hoover's administra-
I lion. He stated that the United
, States was demanding a new deal and 1
' that on November 8, the forgotten'
■nan would lie remembered in the 1
election of Franklin 1). Roosevelt in
its Presidency.
Rev. A. t orey made the closing ad-
dress. Mr. Corey has served several
terms as engrossing clerk in the N. C.
Senate. He has first hand information
|of the affairs in Raleigh and in his
I speech he called attention to same.'
He outlined the efforts of tre last,
legislature to grant to the people ofj
| North Carolina a real, gesuine tax re-j
due lion on property. He showed that,
through the efforts of the Democratic 1
party, real tax reductions had been
secured and that greater reduction of ,
land taxes was guaranteed by the |
democratic platform for the next (out j
years. . i
i The meeting was well attended
i with over a hundred citizens of the
district being present. The people
were enthusiastic and- it is believed
that (iriffins will rast a large vote in
the election next Tuesday.
Last Tuesday night, the candidates
j held a democratic rally in the school -
j house at Hamilton. There were a
bout 25 or 30 present, and although
the crowd was not large, a very en
thusia*#le and enjoyable meeting was
had.
Senator Elbert S. Peel made a short
talk emphasizing the work of the
jlast democratic administration in this
| State, especially calling attention to
the reduction of taxes on property 1
through the medium of the road bill
and the school bill, calling attention
to the fact that O? Max Gardner's ad
ministration will go down in the his- i
I tory of North Carolina as the first ad- i
I ministration to ever reduce land |
taxes.
Mr. J, t,. "Hassell made the princi
pal address. He outlined the weak- i
ncsses and falses of the Republican i |
administration from 1920 until now, t
showing how things had gradually i
gotten worse until the situation has (
, now become unbearable. He showed t
'the difference between the democratic i
I theory of government and the repub
lican theory of government, contrast- ' i
;ing the ideaji of Jefferson who is fol
lowed by the Democratic party and ;
tht ideas of Hamilton who is follow
ed by the Republican party. He paid i
tribute to Thomas Jefferson and An-
Jackson and Woodrow Wilson.
He outlined the life, history of Mr.
Roosevelt, the democratic nominee
for President, showing how he was
qualified, in every way by ability, ex
perience, and inclination to make a
successful chief executive in these
times. He closed with a picture of!
the future and a hope that the for-j
gotten man would be given a neW"
deal. —..

C. T. Rogers, pastor.
We are on the last lap of our con
ference year. Only about two weeks
remain to get our reports in shape.
It is a great thing to be allowed the
privilege of being a co-laborer with
i God in helping those who are much
i worse off than we are. To give un
til it'hurt wouldn't be much for some
little souls, but to give until it be
comes a sacrifice would bring a dou
: ble blessing, both the one receiving
and the giver would be blessed.
Services Sunday morning and eve
ning at the usual hours.
