W. C. Manning was made chair man and R. H. Goodmon was elected secretary of the committee, including the following members: Mrs. J. G. Staton, Messrs. J. C. Manning, F. J. Margolis, G. H. Harrison, C. O. Moore, Elbert S. Peel, C. H. Dickey, E. F. Moseley, Jimmie Harrison, Rob ert Gurganus, Jesse Whitley, J. E. King, C. G. Crockett, W. F. Pritchard L. P. Lindsley and Roger Critcher. While instructions for the commit tee have not been received, it is un derstood the group is expected to verify NRA membership and canvass the town for consumer members. It is not known what will happen when business firms fail to abide by the regulations out in the various re covery cjfQts, but it is believed that investigations by the government will follow in some cases. Several codes affecting local enter prises have been approved, and tho»e firm* affected are now complying with the regulations. Many codes are now pending, and upon their adoption, it is believed that the recovery move, ment will receive a 100 percent sup port here. The committee ii scheduled to start a canvass of the town next week, and the housewives and others will be asked to sign little cards, stating they will trade only at those stores where the N. K. A. requirement! are being met. House wivea and other pur chasers are warned not to sign the cards unless they plan to abide by the regulations. Those cases where refusal to aign reported, will prob ably be investigated, it is understood here. In other words, the govern ment desires the people to take part in the recovery movement on their own volition just as they did during the World's war. Slackers in this, a peace movement, in unusual times, will be dealth with in a similar way as slackers were dealt with during the war. The crucial point in the movement is now near at hand, and if the drive for economic recovery fails, much will be lost, it is believed. Tw* Preaching Services at Mthtodist Church Sunday ■jr C. T.

MUCH DAMAGE BY STORM IN EARLY PART THIS WEEK Number Persons Lose Lives Along Coast; Damage To Crops Is Great A hurricane like storm sweeping over Eastern Carolina and Tidewater Virginia Tuesday night and Wednes day took 12 lives and caused prop erly damage estimated in tlie mil lions. The storm centered along the coast at WHloughby and Virginia Beach, where several persons lost their lives, and where this property damage was estimated at more than $1,(00,000. Communication was cut off and transportation was choked in Norfolk, where waters Hooded large warehouses and retail stores, causing a property loss well over a million dollars. Two men lost their lives when they were washed from the deck of the Eastern Steamship liner Madison when it was caught 'between two storms. Several people''Were electro cuted by fallen power lines in Ports mouth, and many were injured thru out the storm area. Tragic tales were told Wednesday when the storm subsided, and the vie- | l iliis, marooned for hours, reached j points of safety. Coast guardsmen 1 saved the lives of more than 70 per-| sons, nine of whom were taken from a sinking schooner olf the Carolina coast, not far from Nags Head. The 1 narrow strip of land, dotted by life-j saving stations above and below Nags! Head, was covered, the water in the! sound and ocean meeting.

Smith Never Has Had Idea of Running for the Office of Court Clerk "I riever have been, I'm not now, and never will be, as far as I know, a candidate for the office of clerk of the Martin County Superior Court," Attorney J. Calvin Smith, of Kober sonville, declared this week. Mr. Smith was mentioned along with eight others as a probable candidate for the office It was never said that he was a candidate or even would be a candidate for the job. Mr. Smith has been prominently mentioned in con nection with the speakership of the house at 'Kaleigh at the next session of the legislature, but it is not defi nitely _known whether he will be. a candidate for a member of the house or not. Mr. Henry S. Everett, whose name was, also mentioned in connection with the clerk of court office race, says he is a candidate, according to in formation received here. Several oth er names mentioned in connection with the race will probably be with drawn and others entered between now and the next primary. How ever, during the meantime, some quiet political methods are being employed, Ihd even if several have withdrawn their names and others will, too, there is great possibility that the race for the clerk's job will, at least, be very, very interesting. 3 Big Warehouses Offer Every Convenience for Sale Tobacco Martin County Building and Loan Association Will Start New Series Stock Next Week ORGANIZED IN 1914, GROUP HAS FINE RECORD Present Indications Point To Big Subscription Next Month The Martin County Building and Loan Association, probably one of the most creative and upbuilding in stitutions in the section, opens its ,13rd slock series Saturday of next week with bright prospects for one of the largest issues yet recorded, Mr. W heeler Martin, an assocfition offi cer, said this morning.
