VOLUME XXXVI—NUMBER 91
AUTO TAG SALE IS
NEARLY DOUBLE
THAT LAST YEAR
Williamston Bureau Sells
3,033 Auto Tags For
Around $45,230
Martin County automobile owners,
with the aid of a few others from near
by counties, have spent Approximately
$45,230 for State license tags so far
this year, it was learned from the Car
olina Motor Club bureau in the Wil
liamston Motor Company building here
yesterday. The number of tags sold
and the amount of revenue received at
the local bureau are nearly twice the
size of the sale and receipts, for the
1933 tags. Judging from the records,
conditions are just twice as good, if
not a little better than that, for the
automobile-owning class in this sec
tion as a year ago.
Up to yesterday, the local bureau
had sold 3,033 tags, as compared with
1,823 tags sold during the entire sea
son for the 1933 plates. Last year
the total receipts amounted to $24,-
395, as compared with approximately
$45,230 thsi year. The figures would
indicate that the number of cars in the
county has doubled. Surely, the num
ber has been increased? but far from
doubled over the number of a year
ago. The discrepancy in the figures
for the two years developed when
many owners waited until the first
quarter period expired before buying
their auto plates, and Mil lothers wait
ed for the half-year plates, which were
bought at half price. Some were forced
to keep their cars in the garage thru
the third quarter. And still there were
a few "poor devils" who had to foot
it here and there throughout the en
tir eyear.
Now the 1934 license sale rec
ord indicates that almost every one is
Hack on wheels an aim, riding
here and there, but probably unbe
knowingly headed in the direction of
the hill anil the poor house. But there
is an increase in license sales through
out the state, and it now looks as if
the place the car owners are headed
for, wherever it is, will be crowded.
Fair sales continue at the local bu
reau, but the business for the tag year
is just about spent.
It was unofficially learned that the
office here would be discontinued by
the Carolina Motor Club, by* |jhe local
managers have not been 'notified to
that effect. It was first announced
that the bureau would be maintained
throughout the year.
TWO BIG SUITS
ENTERED HERE
G. N. Cowing Asks $5,000
Damages From W. G.
Anthony of Hamilton
Two sizeable law suits, one asking
$20,000 and the other $5,000 damages,
are scheduled for trial at the next term
of Martin County superior court.
One of the cases, Thomas H. Bow
ers against the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company, asking $20,000
damages, has been on the calendar
for some time, but it has been con
tinued from time to time. The plain
tiff lost his right foot when he was
run down by a train in Parmele last
March a year ago.
The other case, G. N. Cowing
against W. G. Anthony, was filed in
the clerk of court's office here this
week. Cowing is asking $5,000 dam
ages as a result of injuries received
in an automobile accident near Ham
ilton on the 27th of last month. The
plaintiff suffered a broken leg and oth
et injuries, it is understood.

LAST YEAR ONE
OF DRIEST FOR
MANY SEASONS
Total Rainfall Only 36.60
Inches; Is 20 Inches
Below Normal
♦
With a rainfall of only 36.60 inches,
this section experienced one of the
driest years in 1933 than in many,
many seasons. Records kept by
Hugh Spruill at the Roanoke River
bridge here show a rainfall for the
period nearly 20 inches below normal.
In 1931 the rainfall here was six
inches below normal. The following
year the below-normal figure was
11.09 inches. Last year a still further
decrease was recorded, the figure be
ing 19.4 inches below the average.
Judging from the continued rainfall
decrease during the past three years, a
dry year might be looked for in 1934.
The decrease last year was nearly
twice as great 'as it was the year be
fore, and the water shortage was more
noticeable during that period than for
some time.
Dry periods have been experienced >
during short periods for years and !
years, but all of last year was unusu
ally dry. A shortage of water was!
reported in surface wells. Small
streams ran dry, and even the old.
Roanoke, with its ups and downs
common in years past held to an un-'
usually low level throughout the year;
with very few exceptions. Low wa
ters in the Roanoke have handicapped !
j shipping on the stream above this
j point. Many farmers, for the first
| time in their lives, had to haul water ;
: from deep wells for use in killing hogs |
' this season.
j While the season was an unusually,
dry one, no serious damage was caused i
►by drought last spring and summer in
this county. The dry season damaged
crops considerably the year before in
some sections of the county.
According to the records kept by
Mr. Spruill, the rainfall varies con
siderably, as shown in inches, as fol
lows, for the past three years:

CURTAILMENT IN
CWA WORK NOW
LIKELY IN STATE
Appropriations Said To Be
Insufficient To Maintain
Present Schedule
Instructions received from state
headquarters of the CWA this morn
ing ordered a curtailment in working
hours for present employees and vir
tually prohibited any increase in the
number of workers.
The maximum working time for em
ployees on projects in centers of more
than 2,500 population is 24 hours per
week; in centers of less than 2,500
the maximum working time is 15 hours
a week, effective immediately. In oth
er words, the pay, while unchanged as
far as the hourlv=-basis is concerned,
will he cut half along with the work
ing time in those centers of less than
2.5(H).
It was first understood that the
"stagger" system would go into effect,
but present activities will
be curtailed Jy half, with no addi
tion of new workers to the CWA list.
The action taken today resulted
when the appropriations were consid
ered insufficient to meet the estimated
, II
project costs.
Two or three projects approved for
this county only this week will prob
ably be postponed or called off as a re
sult of the action taken by the State
authorities this morning.

Joe highly respected and
successful farmer, died at his home

with seven children, survives. They
are Mrs. Buck Taylor, Mrs. Sain Gard
tier, Messrs. Luther, Eli, Will, Joe,
and Grover Nicholson, all of this

Size of Family Should
Govern Size oi Garden
The size of the family should gov
ern the size of the garden. A tenth
of an acre will produce an abundance
of vegetables (pr one person, and this
amount should be allowed for each
member of the family except for chil
dren under 5 years of age. If such
crops as watermelons, cantaloupes,
irish, and sweet potatoes are to be
grown, a larger acreage is needed. If
these are groWn outside the garden,
half an acre will be sufficient to fur
nish a family of five.

AUTOS KILLED 852
PEOPLE IN STATE
DURING YEAR 1933
Auto Death Toll Increased
From 674 In 1932 To
852 Last Year
Motor vehicle mishaps in this State
during the past year claimed 852
lives—l7B more than the 674 killed in
1932. In December therck were 102
victims, three less than November's
toll.
During the final month of the year
there were 3,009 deaths in this State;
therefore, of every 100 deaths in De
cember, three were caused in motor
vehicle tragedies.
The only bright spot in the State's
record for December is the fact that
the highway patrol found fewer drunk
en drivers menacing sober motorists,
the patrol arresting 97 on that ac
count, whereas in November a total
of 115 intoxicated tnen and women
were arrested while piloting their cars.
Tar Heel births during December
far exceeded deaths, the figures be
ing 7,692 to 3,009, (
Statistics used arc compiled from re
ports issued yesterday by three state
divisions: Highway patrol, motor ve
hicle bureau, and the board of health.
In addition to- the 102 automobiles fa
talities in December, there were 463
persons injured in motor mishaps.
There were 357 accidents in all, with
523 cars involved.
Drunken drivers were at the wheel
in mishaps that cost 12 lives and in
jured 35. Six children were killed
while playing in the streets and 20
frere injured. Autos depleted the ranks
"of pedestrians by 31 -and were respon
sible, for. 57 being injured. *
TAX COLLECTION
HOLDS UP WELL
More Than One-fourth Of
County 1934 Tax Levy
Already Collected
Sheriff C. B. Roebuck outdistanced
the state auto license sales in this
county recently for the first time in
years. While the bureau was taking
in approximately S4S,(MM) for aufo tags
the sheriff collected $50,156.07 on 1933
taxes.
Last year the expenditures for auto
tags were greater than the tax col
lections, and the auto license sales
then were hardly more than half of
the size of the sales for 1934.
The office is well over a fourth
done in collecting 1934 taxes, the re
ceipts for 1934 being the largest up
to now for any period irt years.
| Taxes arc payable at par now,, but
after February 1 a penalty of 1 per
I cent is scheduled to go into effect.
It is believed that many property own
ers will care for their accounts before
the penalty goes into effect.

ESTABLISHED 1898
I SEVEN LOANS IN
COUNTY O.K'D BY
HOME LOAN BANK
Around 200 Farmers Seek
To Borrow $400,00 from
Federal Land Bank
Seven loans on homes in this coun
ty have been approved by the Home
Loan Bank, and two others on coun
ty farm lands have been filed in the
register of deeds' offke here, leaving
about 143 home loans and approxi
mately 198 loans on land for consid
eration by the Home Loan and Fed
eral Land Bank authorities.
All applications filed with the coun
ty attorneys have been prepared and
forwarded to the district offices. Just
as soon as the applications arc consid
ered. the applicants will be notified.
The work has been progressing slow
ly probably because of ilic great num
ber of applications that have been
made throughout the United States. It
is believed, however, that the loans
will be handled more rapidly in the
future, creating a new hope for these
applicants who arc about to lose their
property.
Nearly all the loans arc being sought
by property owners to refinance pres
cut obligations
The approximately 2(M) land appli
cations call for loans totaling around
$400,000. The approximately 150
lionie loan applications ask for between
SIOO,OOO and $150,000, it i.s believed.
County attorneys have rushed the
applications into the district offices,
and the delay resulted when the re
quests for loans poured in so rapidly
from all o\er the State and other
parts of the country that the authori
ties could not handle then! promptly.
Many of the loans have been pending
tor several months.
HUNTING SEASON
IS ABOUT OVER
Time for Shooting Rabbits
and Quail Will Be Out
First of February
Raleigh,—With the curtain drawn
on the hunting', of migratory, water
fowl for the season, North Carolina
gunners and followers of the hounds
are arranging to gel in their final trips
infield as other seasons draw to a close.
Shooting periods have already ter
minated on several species of game
and others have only a few weeks to
run before guns must be placed on
the rack for the current season, offic
ials of the Department of Conserva
tion and Development announced.
January 15 was the last day for hunt
ing migratory wildfowl in North Car
olina under- both federal and state
laws. Deer hunters laid aside their
guns more than a month ago when
tin season closed in all three major
zone> of the stale on December IS.
Squirel hunters have also stacked their
firearms for the current shooting per
iod, the closing date being Novem
ber 30 in the Western zones and t De
cember 31 in the Central ami Eastern
Devotees of the chase have less
than two weeks to follow the hounds
in pursuit of opossums and raccoons,
January 31 being the last day for that
sport until next season. The closing
of the season on hear closed coinci
dentally in the Western and Central
zones with the shooting of migratory
waterfowl. Bear season in the East
ern zone extends on since no closed
season is provided for this area.
While the main season on upland
game, including quail, wild turkey,
and rabbits has already expired in the
Western zone, hunters have until Feb
ruary 20 in the Central zone and Feb
ruary 1 in the Eastern zone to pursue
these sports.
Closing dates mentioned for the
various types of games, according to
conservation officials, do not take in
to account the exceptions from the
zone system represented by local coun
ty laws which in certain instance.?
provide for different open and closed
seasons. The current season accord
ing to general reports, has witnessed
the greatest abundance of game in
North Carolina for years.
