VOLUME XXXVI—NUMBER 37
TYPHOID DRIVE
IN COUNTY WILL
END THIS WEEK
Number of People Making
Individual Visits For
Free Protection
This week marks the close of one of
the most extensive anti-typhoid fever
campaigns ever conducted by Martin
County. That the drive against the
fever has been very successful is evi
denced by the thousands who took
advantage of the free protection. No
definite report is available just at this
time as to the number taking the vac
cine, but accurate numbers will be
available probably next week or the
week following.
Indirect reports received here indi
cate that many who failed for one
cause or another to visit the dispen
saries are asking for individual vac
cinations at the offices of the several
doctors. Some of these individual vis
its are said to be necessary, but many
could have been made unnecessary by
the subjects visiting the appointed dis
pensaries. The practice works a
hardship on the several doctors, and
those calling for the protection should
bear the expense, it is generally agreed
However, it must be said that the
several doctors have been very consid
erate, and have cooperated willingly
to make the drive against typhoid fev
er in the county successful.
STATE MUST AID
IN RELIEF WORK
Federal Aid Might Be Stop
ped If the States Fail To
Share Part of Burden
•
Washington, July 10.—Promise of
"a rude shock" to some states in the
near future if they do not help to fi
nance their relief work was made to
day by Harry L. Hopkins, federal
emergency relief administrator at a
_ closed meeting here of state relief ex
ecutives.
The relief executives came to Wash
ington yesterday to confer with fed
eral employment service workers, and
today Hopkins gathered them togeth
er for a discussion of the situation in
lieu of personal interviews.
"Apparently a few states did not be
lieve the President recently when he
pointed out that it is essential for
states and local units of government
to finance a reasonable share of their
emergency relief work," Hopkins told
the state administrators.
"Some states are due for a rude
shock in the very near future if they
jd° not come through with action.
There have got to be some special
sessions of 4tate legislatures. The
federal emergency relief administration
mans business, and we are not going
to string along with these situations.
"I am beginning to doubt very
much is there is a state in the country
which do something in the
way of funds for unemployment relief.
We see numerous instances in which
state* have been providing funds for
roads and other purposes and continu
ing to do so. Yet they plead that
they have no funds for their hungry
people. I
TENNIS PROVES
POPULAR HERE
Non-Club Members Taking
Undue Advantage in the
Use of Court, it is Said
Since the opening of the two new
courts at the municipal water plant,!
the game of tennis has become exceed
ingly popular here With both old and
young. As a general rule, the weather
permitting, the courts are in use dur
ing most of every day, and the con
tinued play is developing some real
player champions. ;
The courts were built by private
subscription, and recently non-mem
bers of the club have been playing at
the expense of the members. The
public is welcomed to use the courts
when members are unable to play, but
the outsiders are asked to be consid
erate and surrender the courts to
members when they get ready to play.
If thil ts done the courts will be left
open to the public, but if children and
other non-members fail to play at such
times when the members are busy else-,
where, then the courts will be closed
to the public during certain hours, it
is understood.

THE ENTERPRISE
Valuation Reductio
Town Tax Rate
While no definite action ha*
been taken in connection with the
valuation of town properties thia
year, a decrease of approximately
1310,621 can be expected if the
one-third decreased provided by
the county is allowed by the mu
nicipal authorities. This de
crease, if it is unaltered, will ef
fect an increase of about Si in the
tax rate, it is believed.
It is understood that the author

last year excepting those cases
where alterations have been made
to increase or decrease the val

Locals Have Chance to Win
First Half Coming To
a Close This Week
Edenton took a commanding posi
tion in the Albemarle Baseball League
[last Friday by a victory over Colerain

COTTON AT NEW
HIGH FOR 2 YEARS
m
Price Advanced To $2,50 a
Bale on the New York
Market Yesterday
»
New York, July 10.—Cotton today
soared $2.50 a bale to the highest lev
els for about two years. •
Disappointment over Saturday's'
acreage report, which traders regard
ed as bearish, was tempered by a later j
official declaration that more than 5,-j
500,000 cres had been thus far offered
for retirement under the terms of the
industrial agricultural act.
This, together with forecasts of a
substantial fulfillment of the govern
ment acreage control aims, brought,
heavy buying orders into the market
at the opening, resulting in initial
gains of $1 to $1.50 a bale.
"A further drop in the dollar with
corresponding gains in sterling and
the gold currencies helped to widen
the bullish interest, although prices
receded about 75 cents a bale before
the market started on the most vig
orous phase of its climb in the later
trading.
October contracts jumped $2.65 a
bale to a basis of 10.93 cents a pound,
while December from a low of 10.70
cents rose to 11.10 cents.
The bulk of the buying was said
to have come from commission houses
and foreign and domestic trade
| sources.
Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, July 11, 1933
By holding the values at that level,
the town hopes to reduce its ex
penses sufficiently to offset the loss
in personal property and continue
the old rate of 12.10 in effect.
The question now under con
sideration is a* broad as it is long,
and either case the taxpayer will
realize no difference. However,
it ia admitted that a 12.10 rate
sounds much better than a 13.10
one sounds to the owner of prop
erty.
A preliminary review of the
books shows that values will drop
from t1,567,231 in 1932 to approx
imately $1,057,226 this year if the
authorities fail to retain the old
values with necessary changes.
SMALL SUMS FOR
SCHOOL TRUCKS
Task of Redistricting Units
In This County Yet
To Be Handled
According to unofficial information
received here the tentative state school
budget will allow Martin County $l2O
monthly for mechanical services in
maintaining its-40 school busses next
term. Scattered over the county as
they are, and operating five days each
week in all kinds of weather and on
all types of roads, the trucks have re
quired the services of-two and three
mechanics in the past.
The State, it is also understood, is
allowing only $2,600 for fuel during
the coming term, If the winter is a
severe one, it is believed the amount
will be insufficient. The allowances
have been considerably reduced below
previous figures.
Small allowances experienced
throughout the entire state system and
made imperative by the limited funds
made available by the lawmakers will,
jit is believed, greatly interfere with
the successful operation of schools this
year.
Very few details are known at this
time in connection with the planned
changes in the school districts in this
county. The district member of the
school commission has not visited the
county as yet to effect any changes.

18 NEGROES ARE
ARRESTED IN
RAID SUNDAY
Group Was Enjoying a Hot
Card Game at Home
of Jennings Jones
Raiding an alleged liquor and gam
bling joint operated by Thelma Biggs
and Jennings Jones on the edge of
town here early last Sunday morn
ing, officers arrested about 18 colored
men and women. Unable to handle
the mob, the officers place in jail only
one or two of the number and recog
nized the others for a preliminary
hearing yesterday afternoon before
Justice of the Peace J. L. Hassell.
Officers Alls brooks and Roebuck, as
sisted by two special deputies, V. J.
Spivey and Jim Uzzle, made the raid
after a number of complaints had been
received in connection with the aW
Used disreputable use of the house.
Twelve of the number were found
playing cards in one room, and three
other couples were found cooing and
loving in other parts of the house, the
officers said.
Spivey, stationed at the back door,
was ready for action when several of
the mob attempted to escape via that
route, but he was disappointed along
with the others when they found the
door was locked and could not be
opened by them. One or two pulled
the old stunt so long associated with
the ostrich and hid their heads under
beds, leaving their feet in full view of
the raiders. Two or three escaped
through the front door when the
watchman was called in for a minute
or two. The names of the others were
written down by the officers and a
date to visit the county recorder's
court was fixed.
A gallon or more of liquor, one pis
tol, and 17 cents in change, found
on the card table, were confiscated in
the raid. u

Martins Dropped
Out of Four
The past week was the most disastrous one the 'Martins have had
so far this season, not only in batting but in number of games lost.
Starting off the week by dropping two games to Windsor on the Fourth,
the Martins came back strong to defeat Ahoskie here Thursday, and
then wound up the week Friday by taking a 12-5 shellacking from the
Indians at Ahoskie. The team as a whole went to bat 155 times during
the" week, slapping out 41 hits, including 13 doubles, for a total of 59
bases and scored 25 runs. The only trouble was most of the hits anil
runs came in the Ahoskie game here Thursday, when one run would
have been enough to "win.
a Individually tjie team members fared pretty badly, with a few ex
ceptions. There arc still five of the regulars batting .300 or more and
Hallie James is not far behind with 294, but most of them are slipping
fast, according to last week's play, Brake is still in the lead with a per
centage of .361, while Farp displaced lizzie for second pla • Jim con
tinues to hold the lead in total bases with 4k, while Farp and Brake
are tied for the largest number of hits with 32 each, and Farp also leads
the list in runs scored with 27. Ilallie James is knocking at the door
of the select ".300 club," with a percentage of .294, and with a little
luck should he up among theni this week.

Reduction Drive Comes To
a Close in Cotton States
Tomorrow Night
l'he campaign for a reduced cotton
acreage in this county continues until
tomorrow niftht at 12 o'clock with un
certainly surrounding the outcome.
Since the'reduction activities were re
ported last Friday night, no definite
information lias been released, the
success of the movement depending
upon the work of those in charge of
the campaign from now until tomor
row midnight.
I p to Saturday morning 1(10 con
tracts had been completed in this
county pledging the destruction of 672
acres, leaving 1,774 acres to he signed
lip before the quota would be com
plete However, it was unofficially
learned that around 2(10 other con
tracts had hee.n turned' in since the
I riduy report and that at least 100
additional ones were in the hands of
the community committees. The acre
age these 300 contracts represent
could not be learned. It is believed,
■however, that the acrt age r.cdiKtion
(proposed in all the contracts combined
in the county will hardly represent
jlne't|uota of 2.44(i Dial many of the
contracts will not he completed was
made certain yesterday when tenants
jsityud to plow up a third of the crop*
anil the landlords, in several instances,
| refused to sign. I lie opposite is also
j reported. Holders of crop liens have
jbeen willing to m most cases
| where the farmers wanted to assi,t
! the movement, but a few would not,
it was said.
In SOIUP communities a selfish atti
tude lias bleu taken, the canvassers
having been all but insulted. Hut in
spite of this, the campaign continues
at lull speed, and if the undertaking
proves unsuccessful, its failure will be
traceable to the greedy farmers or
whatever you might wish to call them.
Nobody knows what the price *"f cot
ton will he if the movement fails, hut
forecasts place it as low as 5 and 6
cents a pound.
A farmer wanted to know the other
day why the government did not start
the movement earlier, saving that he
thought the reduction plan was a good
j-44m»KT-*4nrt did; m+t believe- be- -could
plow up any of his cotton. Another
farmer listening to the informal con
vcrsation is said to have remarked,
j "And if you had known such a plan
was going to he proposed and pushed,
j you would have greatly increased
your acreage."
Over in Halifax County an indig
nation meeting is being held "as a
| complete protest to the action of some
|"f the leading cotton farmers of the
j county who refused to participate in
the acreage reduction campaign." Ac
j cord to reports carried in the Cotn
utonwealth, a newspaper published in
| Scotland Neck, only a few of the
large-scale farmers lad refused to par
ticipate except in Enfield, that five or
six farmers controlling 6,000 or 8,000
acrei in (hat district flatly refused
to sign. In connection with the in
dignation meeting the paper, carried a
News and.Observer editorial declar
ing tliat nobody ever sympathized with
