One of the largest irish potato
yields heard of in this county was re

472 barrets of No. 1 potatoes, the par
ticular grade being made up ol pota
toes not too large end not too small.
The yield ran as high as ISO barrels

escape a fusillade of shots fired front
a 45-caliber automatic pistol the
shot causing his death entered tlte left
side and plowed all the way through
BodyT leaving a hoTFlafjFr than
a man's thumb.
After praying for mercy and yell
ing for help, Simmons is said to have
asktkf a doctor to save his life He
told wlnv had shot him. Itfd h;s vi
tality weakened so rapidly that he
talked very ttttfe Tfter that. He died
at his home a few minutes later, the
doctor explaining that it was useless
to move him to a hospital.
The exact trouble leading up to the
shooting has not been advanced, the
murderess claiming that
ened her life in a quarreTThe night be
fore. She is alleged to have been
jealous and resented his paying at
tention to other women. Shortly aft
er the murder. ?he claimed that she
did not want him to go with her, u

him on several occasions at the J. YY

paper and went in search of Sinimons.

when she learned he was dead.
A warrant, charging murder in the
first degree, has been preferred against
the woman, but no preliminry hear

ORDER TAX SALE
TO TAKE PLACE
IN SEPTEMBER
County Board Does Not
Have Power To Order
Postponement
Meeting in regular session last Mon
day. the Martin County -commission
ers ordered the sale of all lands for
delinquent taxes on the first Monday
in September, advertisement of the de
linquent list to appear the first week
in August. This action was taken in |
aeconMnce with the dictates of the
;lawf the authorities investigating the
law in detail in an effort to delay the
sale. The commissioners were unable
to delay the sale, leaving only one
opportunity open to have the action
temporarily postponed. An injunc
tion brought against the tax collector
might postpone the sale, but even in
that action he judge hearing he peti
tion may refuse to grant the request
and direct that property be sold for
delinquent taxes in September.
A report released by Sheriff C. B.
Roebuck shows that $121,824.36 of the
1933 levy has been collected, the re- '
port reflecting an improved condition I
in th ecollection of taxes. If the sale
is postponed, say until early Novem-j
ber, it is believed that much of the I
$56,785.40 now unpaid will be cleared '
from the book| by that time. Last
'November around 1,500 tracts of land J
I was offered for safe, representing near;
ly $50,000 in unpaid taxes. The 1933 j
unpaid amount is les than what the
; 1932 balance was at the same time
last year, elearly indicating that the
delinquent list will be smaller if the
sale is postponed.
J While the commissioners discussed
several matters, only two other offic-J
ial acts were recorded outside the or
der directing tax sales be made and
to work the road from Batts Store to1
Smithwick's Creek church and the road
from highway 30 to Bear Grass, and
sections necessary on the Washing
lon-Jamesville rohte.
i Olive High, of Goose Nest, was al
lowed the sum of $1 monthly.

'SPUD' MARKET
GOES TO PIECES
Market Hardly Active with
Prices Reported as Low
as $1.25 a Barrel
| _~Tli*?irTsh potato market, after a
j slight price increase a few days ago,
i drooped again this week, with vir
tually no demand evident for the cob
I biers at any price. Welfare purchases
| were being made at $1.25 a barrel, it
was reported, but the withdraways
I made by relief purchases apparently
| failed to^hold the general market price
ill a point profitable to the grower.
Digging activities ate about com
ph-tcd here, most farmers in this scc
tion having?sold, their crop* before
the price rise developed. The crop
will probably be harvested in its en
tirety in this section by tomorrow or
early next week.
