TRIO OF YOUNG
BOYS JAILED FOR
STEALING 16HAMS
Son Leads Pals To Father's
Smokehouse In Hamil
ton Township Friday
Earl Mary, 15-year-old boy, was
placed in jail here last Saturday aft
ernoon for carrying a concealed weap
on and for the alleged theft of about
16 hams from his father's smokehouse
the afternoon and night before. Wil
son Manning, 14 years old, Lester
Terry, and Herbert Page, all white,
are also being held in jail in connec
tion with the ham stealing.
The troubled father, not suspecting
his son in the !east, reported the steal
ing to officers. Saturday afternoon
Earl Mary was arrested in Oak City
by Chief Pearson for cairying a pis
tol. The boy was placed in jail by
Sheriff C. B. Roebuck.
In the meantime, Officer Barfield,
of Hassell, learned that two hams
had been sold to the owner of Bell's
Filling Station, ndar Hassell, Bell
Mid he bought the hams from Mary
and Wilson Manning Friday after
noon. The Manning boy was arrest
ed and placed in jail Sunday after
noon, and there the plot was told in
detail. Herbert Page and Lester Ter
ry were implicated. Page was already
in jail, and about that time Terry
called at the jail to pay Page a visit.
Sheriff Roebuck invited him in, and
(Terry** arrest (Jul not dawn upon
him until the officer had locked the
„door and told the boys pood-bye for
the afternoon. Terry and Page deny
the stealing charge.
According to the story told by the
Manning and Mary boys, the first two
hams were stolen Friday afternoon
by tbem. After selling the meat to
Bell, they went to Robersonville, at
tended the show and made arrange
ments with Terry and Page to make
a sizeable haul on the smokehouse of
Mary's father.
Breaking into the smokehouse, the
four boys are said to have carried a
number of hams and a quantity of
pork to the car parked a short dis
tance away. At the car the boys de
cided the pork was not very valuable,
so they returned it and took more
hams, about 14 in all. Mary and Man
ning said that Terry and Page were
to dispose of the meat, that they did
not know what became of it.
The four boys are scl*duled to ap
pear in court today.
About 60 days ago, young Mary
wm alleged to have stolen chickens
from a Mrs. Bass in Hamilton Town
ship.- The case was handled in the
juvenile court, and the boy was re
turned to his father. About two weeks
ago, the boy was said to have stolen
two hams from Mrs. Taft. The case
wu called in recorder's court lest
Tuesday and sent on to the superior
court for Judge Parker to handle. And
now three more charges are staring
him in the face. They are: carrying
a concealed weapon, stealing meat on
two occasions from his own father.
Page and Terry are saqd ,to have
shady records.

DISTRICT CLUBS
TO HOLD MEET
IN PLYMOUTH
Number of Martin Members
Will Attend Meeting
There Thursday
(By Miss Lora B. Sleeper)
Mr. G. H. Mizelle, sr., of the Poplar
Chapel community may well be term
ed a real life saver. Owing to his
generosity, Monday he offered his
big truck to carry the women of the
community and other near-by com
munities to the district club meeting
to be held in Plymouth Thursday.
Many hearts have been made glad by
this offer and more women can at
tend as a result. The expenses will
be decreased as more ride upon the
big truck provided and a happy day
is in store for the many who will
take advantage of this economy in a
trip to Plymouth. The truck is
scheduled to leave Mr. Mizellr's home
at B:3Q a .ra. with Poplar Chapel and
Angetown folks; go to JameNville and
pick up Jamesville women and then
continue to Plymouth. The truck is
to leave Hie Jamesville school at 9:30
a. m.
Others who have offered to help in
transportinK the women to Plymouth
are Mr. G. H. Cox, of Kobersonville.
The offers are «reatly appreciated,
and we are all hoping that* Martin
County will come out in good num
bers to attend the district meeting
in Plymouth. Mrs. Jane S. McKim
mon, assistant state director of ex
tension work, is the main speaker on
the program. If you never heard
Mrs. McKimmon speak with voice
and hands, as she does, you have miss
ed a real treat. Martin folks are
cordially invited to attend the meet

at 10 a. m. in the school building.
3 PER CENT TAX
VOTED BY HOUSE
School Machinery Bill Now
Before the Legislature;
Adjournment Near
The General Assembly last night
agreed upon a 3 per cent sales tax
when the house adopted the confer
ence report on the revenue bill on its
last reading by a vote of 53 to 41.
The action last night leaves only one
major controversial matter for con
sideration and that is the school ma
chinery bill. If there is no marked
fight over the bill, the General As
sembly will probably quit Kaleigh on
Thursday, but happenings last night
were not so favorable for an adjourn
ment before that time or even that
day.
One of the main issues in the bill is
whether to alllow districts to vote for
a ninth month of school. Then there
are oflier provisions that are expect
ed to cause a loud yell when the time
comes to start the schools next- fall.
Methodist Society Plans
Big Baby Show Here
The Missionary Society of the lo
cal Methodist church is planning a
baby show to be held here the latter

announced to Mrs. Jesse Harrell.
The entries are limited to children be
tween the ages of 1 anil 3 years. The
winner will be determined by out-of
town judges, complete details of the
show to be announced later.

a vacation for those who do not
have to work.
CONTINUE WORK
v /
Representative Lindsay War
ren stated today that he is quite
certain that Federal aid will be
continued for vocational education
and extension work. At one time
both of these measures were slat
ed to go and were to be entirely
eliminated. It has already been
decided to cut the appropriation
for vocational education IS per
cent, and while no decision' has
yet been made about the Exten-
ing sermons. He is an able sfc>eak
granted to the president, Mr. War
ren says he is confident now that
the work will not be discontinued.
For the last month Congressman
Warren has been very active in
behalf of retaining these measures,
and has discussed same with the
Director of the Budget and the
Administration.

TRIO PUT IN JAIL
AFTER FIGHT ON
ROAD NEAR HERE
Drunken Driving Escapade
Results In Murderous
Fight Saturday
Herbert Page and' Junior Wynn,
white boys, and J. D. Riddick, col
ored man, were jailed here Saturday
afternoon following a murderous tight
on the Washington highway about
two miles from here. Wynn and Rid
dick are out under bond, and are
scheduled to appear in court here to
day.
Using Highway No. 90 from Ske
warkey to the Staton farm as a play
ground, Page, in an intoxicated con
dition, is said to have hogged the
road with his car. He molested pe
destrians by driving so close to them
that they were forced to jump to the
side of the road and in ditches for
their safety. Riddick was returning
home in his cart, and Page is said to
have almost wrecked the mule-drawn
vehicle. He repeated his danger
ous driving about the cart, and Rid
dick is said to have piloted his cart
close to the ditch until he reached
the Staton farm, where he stopped his
mule. Page stopped his car and he
and Wynn got out. Riddick got
out, and soon the fight was under
way in full blast. With an automo
bile jack in his hand, Page struck
Riddick over the head with the weap
on. Wynn scuffled into the affray but
soon scuffled out, receiving only a
slight injury to his forehead. Rid
dick took the jack from Page and re
turned the blow, adding another that
gashed the boy's head and dented
the skull. Page's wounds were stitch
ed and he was later placed in jail to
sober up.
Page has a record behind him, one
of his escapades ending in Everetts
some time ago, when he was found
sleeping in J. S. Ayers' store window
there. Page claimed at the time that
the window was broken by some one
else, that he crawled in and wrapped
Up in a blanket to keep warm.

NEMAR WILL BE
HERE SOON FOR
UNIQUE DRIVE
To Drive Car Blindfolded
and Alone All Over
Town Next Week
The blindfold test in cigarettes has
been made familiar by newspaper ad
vertising, but quite different is the
blindfold test to which the blindfold
driver. Nemar, will be subjected in his
drive through the streets of William-
Wednesday May 17.
Not only will Nemar traverse the
business streets of the town, stopping
at certain intersections, but he will
park his car in front of certain stores,
get out and enter the establishments
and select gifts which will be given
away to the crowds in front of the
stores.
The starting point for the drive,
and other complete details will he
announced through the columns of
this newspaper.
Nemar states that he will permit
a half dollar to be placed over each
eye before he is blindfolded, and that
he will wear a metal mask. Sixteen
thicknesses of cotton bandage, he
declares, will be used over his eyes,
fastened with adhesive tape, and a
black cloth will be used to cover the
entire face. ' , '
The demonstration is expected to
attract hundreds of people on the
streets, and merchants may offer spec
ial trade inducements during the
which is to"be known as "Neighbor
liodd Day" in Williamson.
Nemar will drive one car and be
followed by a second car in which
Madame Nemar will ride. From this
distance, some 40 to 50 feet to the
rear, she will direct the blindfold
driver by, according to the advance
agent, "telepathic mental control."

PLANT HERE ONE
OF 26 AFFECTED
BY ORDER MAY 1
Means Increase of Several
Thousand Dollars At the
Plant Here Annually
l hat conditions are improving
throughout tlie country was evidenced
here this week when the Columbian
Peanut Company, operators of Jfl fac
tories in five states - , announced a 10
to 20 per cent increase in wages and
salaries of its more than 2,000 em
ployees. Tlte more than 100 work
eis at the V\ illiatnston factory,*alonK
with the other hundreds will enjoy the
increase as of May 1, it was learned
front (.apt. W. I* Pritchard, of the
local plant, yesterday morning.
Similar wage increases have been
announced recently by big industrial
plants throughout the country. An
increase in wage incomes is regard
ed a* the greatest step toward busi
ness rer >very. When wages increase.,
business increases in like proportion.
Ihe increase here means an addi
tional $75 or SIOO f«»r circulation each
week, or an amount of several thous
ami dollars annually.
In connection with the increase in
wages putting employees back on a
pre depression scale, H, C. Smither,
president of the company, said:
"We hope that other industries
throughout the South will follow our
example and comply with President
Roosevelt's request,"
The announcement of the wage raise
came HI the lace of a sharp advance
in the price peanut buyers are pay
ing farmer's for peanuts. The pur
chase price from growers lias practi
cally doubled within the last six
months and peanut companies here
and in this section are doing business
at an increase of about 33 1-3 per cent
over the same period last year.
Six mouths ago, for instance, the
general market price for peanuts was
from one cent to one and one-eighth
cents a pound to the farmer for his
product. Yesterday the Columbian
Peanut Company was paying two cents
a pound for the bettei grades, and
officers of the company expected to
see further advances in prices.
Peanut product manufacturers
throughout the United States are
buying peanuts as they have not
'bought them before in many months,
and orders continue to pour in for
the manufactured products.
"Realizing the deplorable plight of
the peanut growers the present sea
son and wtih the desire to assist them
in securing the highest possible prices
for their crops, this company has con
sistently endeavored to maintain the
highest possible prices at all of its
mills in the peanut producing terri
tories.
"Up to the present time, the pur
chase-. ami salei of the company have
hcett. the laigeit in tin history of the
company, showing a iarge consump
tion in spite of the depression.
"With the advent of the 'New
Deal,' business activity throughout
the entire country has greatly in
creased Cotton, corn, wheat, and oth
er farm products have advanced in
price greatly, and peanuts also have
advanced materially from the extreme
low price, with indications that a fur
ther advance in price is probable.
"With the large consumption of
peanuts the present season, together
with an anticipated reduction in acre
age for the next crop, it is probable
that any surplus of the old crop will
be required for the increasing demands
of the peanut and peanut product dis
tributors throughout the country.
"The inflation bill just passed by
Congress eventually means cheaper
money and Higher-priced commodi
ties, and there is no reason why pea
nuts, not forced on the market too
fast during the remainder of the sea
son, should not share in the general
improvement in prices."
So far ai is known here, the Colum
bian Peanut Company's wholesale in
crease in pay for its employees is the
first of its kind by any large corpor
ation in the South.
