VOLUME XLII?NUMBER 80 Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday. October 6, 193V. ESTABLISHED 1899 Vote For Control In Martin County Near 1(H) Per Cent Opposition Fails To Material i/.e and I'rouruni (?oes Over With Baitp: Pushing into the background vot ing records of all kinds, Martin County farmers marched to the front yesterday to give an overwhelming support to the 1940 tobacco produc tion control program, the unofficial vote standing at 3.367 for and 26 against with 229 challenge votes to be inspected and counted today. The vote reflects an increase of nearly 1,000 over the 2,691 votes cast last December 9 when the program was defeated. Growers, sensing the ser ious situation confronting tobacco, aid not stop with a mere 66 2-3 per centage vote but went ahead t<> nearly reach 100 per cent^-99.23 To be exact?for control Voting was orderly throughout the county, and what little opposi tion existed was not expressed open ly. However, the ant is made no se cret of the way they voted in most cases The usual oddities followed the course of voting, one farmer vot ing both for and against the meas ure, little realizing that he had not voted at all Hardly before the returns were in last night, various farm agents surrounding counties began to wor ry over quota allotments. That there will be dissatisfied farmers can be expected, but it was quite evident in the referendum yesterday that farmers believe reductions and even drastic reductions will be better than the bitter fate that would have been theirs without a program. "We will never know how costly it would have been had the program been de feated .and We are well satisfied if We never know." a farmer said as the trend of the vote was determin ed. The high spots in the voting in this county centered around the boxes in Williams, Gold Point and Hamilton precincts where the opposition ap parently saw its shadow and with drew to its hole. In those precincts where a fairly strong opposition was expressed lastj December, the ad verse vote dwindled to a mere one or two votes.

Cooperative Croup In Meeting, Today Meeting w EdHiton today, mem bers of the North Carolina Peanut Stabilization Cooperative are effect ing its reorganization preparatory to ??ntering the markets this fall, if necessary A detailed schedule of ac tivities for the coming season will be outlined following the election,of officers. R. C. Holland, of Edenton, has been the popular president of the. organ ization since it was created three years ago, and his re-election was predicted in the proxies forwarded from this county earlier in the day. More than 500 farmers ^re parti cipating in the meeting by proxy, quite a few leaving early this morn ing to attend the reorganization ses sion in person. Only two farmers in this county refused to participate in the meeting either by proxy or person, it was learned. It was considered doubtful last summer if the stabilization coopera tion would be re-created by the gov ernment, but a strong demand by the American Farm Bureau brought re sults and it was recently announced that the market will be stabilized at the same basic rates in effect last season. Filling Station At Everetts Is Robbed Gaining an easy entrance through a window, a robber stole eight auto mobile tires and a small number of Camel cigarettes from the filling station of W. C. Bullock in Everetts some time during last Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Raising a window without break ing a single pane, the robber went into the main part of the station and then into a small room where the tires were stored. When he removed the goods, he closed the doors and lowered the window and the station operator did not detect the theft im mediately. Several hours later a customer came along and wanted a tire*- When Mr. Bullock went into the store room he found eight tires missing Officers investigated the cas# on Wednesday, but no clue that will support an arrest has been uncover ed. The robbery was the first of its type reported in this county during a number of months. TobaeeoMarketReady J For Opening Tuesday UNANIMOUS Reversing their stand taken last December, the six tobacco producing states combined gave the 1940 crop control program a substantial majority of nearly 90 per cent. According to unoffi cial figures. 204,340 favored the program, while 22.796 voted against it. A tabulation of the vote in the six states follows: Yes No Pet.

Peel For Trial latter Devoting considerable time to the trial of one or two cases. Judge H O. Peel cleared only four cases from the county recorder's court docket last Monday. Nine cases, charging the alleged violation of various laws, were continued for trial at later sessions. Most of the cases are sched uled for consideration next Mon day The thirteen cases on Hie docket constituted an accumulation of charges during the two weeks the superior tribunal was in session. The period coincided with the tobacco depression and crime took a holi day. for the most part. Considering the presence of a carnival in the county last week, crime activities wi re unusually limited. Daniel E Davis pleaded guilty in tlu- case ch?nging him with drunken driving and the court fined him $50, added the costs and revoked his li censes for a period of one year. A plea of not guilty was entered in the case charging W. T. Crawford with drunken driving, the court con tinuing the action under prayer for judgment. Joseph Land, charged with non support, was found not guilty. Ralph O.'Worthington, charged with drunken driving and the tem porary larceny of L J Hardison s car, was sentenced to the roads for sixty days. Sylvester Ange was found not guilty in the case charging him with violating the liquor laws In the list of .continued cases were those charging L. B McCormick with the violation of the State slot ma chine law, or Flannagan Slot Ma chine Act. The cases against the dis "TrtbUTor wnr set for trial on Octo ber 23 More /ijtjtlieanls (,routed Pensions Ten applications for old age assist ance and two applications for aid to dependent children were approved by the Martin County Welfare board in a recent meeting here. A large number of requests for old age pen sions was received by the board, and several pensioners asked that their allotments be increased. The ten old-age assistance appli- 1 cations allow an average of $11 to each of the successful applicants, while the average grant in this coun ty averages a few cents less than $10. The two grants approved for de pendent children average $15 per lamily At the present time there are 205 persons receiving old age pensions, and the welfare forces explain that the number constitutes the full quo ta for this county Other applicants must await openings in the growing ranks of the dependent aged which are created mainly by death. Few, if any, ever get oil ihi- roils any ointr way. Repeated and thorough case re views are made before a grant is al lowed any person or any needy child. INTEREST > Considerable interest is being shown by eastern Carolina peo ple in the daring program an nounced this week by "Suicide" Boh Hayes. Recognized as the No. 1 daredevil. Hayes announces he will attempt to jump sixteen stock cars at the Williamston fairgrounds Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, weather permitting! In addition to the one big stunt, he will turn a car end over end. crash through burning objects and perform other hair raising and breath-taking stunts. Hayes, a former Williamstoh res ident, has been rained out twice and if the weather is favorable, thousands will sse him in action Sunday afternoon. Record Sales Are Certain On Local Mart After Holiday Deliveries, Started this Week, | Are Increasing Very Rapidly Here Ending an enforced holiday of one j month next Tuesday, the Williams ton Tobacco Market is certain to I eclipse all past records with deliver-1 ies expected to approximate a fig ure between three-quarters of a mil lion and one million pounds. How af Ter row is being placed for first sale i n the Planters warehouse floors, and unloading activities have been gaining momentum in the Roanoke Dixie house where second sale scheduled. When the market opened the 1939 season back in August, approximate ly half million pounds of the golden leaf were placed on the warehouse floors here. Sales were blocked for a week, and from then up until the holiday was declared on Tuesday, j September 12, sales activities requir ed seven full hours each day. Block ed sales were fairly frequent even during the week before the market closed. Realizing a first sale cannot be had by everyone, the growers are placing their tobacco on the floor I where space is available, hoping a| sale can be had in due time With the size of the baskets averaging heavier than is ordinarily the case at the be ginning of a regular season, it is quite likely that the first sale offer ings here next Tuesday will consti tute an all-time record It is reliably understood that sales will continue during six hours only next Tuesday, starting promptly,at 9 a. m. and ending at 4 p. m. Here tofore the sales lasted seven hours. It J is possible that the selling day will be further curtailed to five hours, depending upon the size of the deliv eries after the first few days of sell action be taken if it is seen that the factories and preliminary storage fa cilities cannot avoid a glut. No ac tion has been taken in this connec tion, however. No fancy prices are to be expect ed when the markets reopen, but with the passage of a control pro gram for 1940, farmers are confident that they will have a stable market and a much higher price than could have been expected if the program had been defeated in the referendum ysterday. Unofficial reports indicate that the markets throughout this belt during the time they were open this season averaged under 14 cents. It is hoped the price next week will not fall under seventeen or eighteen cents a pound While there us some slightly dam aged tobacco in this section, the of ferings already on the local market for the. next Tuesday saltTare of good quality and the leaf is in unusually good condition. It is estimated that nearly 700 mil lion pounds of the 1939 crop, an amount larger than the entire crop last season, remains to be sold and that between one-fourth and one third of that poundage is ready to move to the market. Anticipating crowded conditions and showing a keen interest in meth ods to improve the conditions sur rounding tobacco marketing, officials of the United States Tobacco Asso ciation recently adopted the Pillow ing resolutions: Whereas, first?The adoption of uniform system in all belts, whereby the growers' tobacco will be placed on the warehouse floods in such man ner as to protect and display same to the best advantage possible, is of (Continued on page four) Club To Beautify Grounds Next Week Taking the initiative in a cam paign for a more sightly town, the local Woman's chib has launched a movement to beautify its ground on Smithwick and Church Streets^ The club is directing an appeal to all members and to others, also, asking the donation of any shrub bery that can be conveniently spar ed.

The cases were estab lished following raids by federal of ficers in several eastern North Caro lina counties during the past sever al months. Thirty defendants are! awaiting removal to Atlanta, the transfer to take place following a regular term of the high court in Wilson later in the month. Eight of the forty-six defendants facing Judge 1 M. Meekins in the court at Washington this week were from this county. Four of the eight were found not guilty Joe Taper, James Moore and Louis Keys prov ed that they were merely beer drink ers and that they were not connect ed with the illicit liquor manufactur ing business. Handy Ore, local taxi driver, was sentenced to Atlanta for a year and a day when he was adjudged guilty of hauling liquor. Ore implicated John Griffin, Everetts colored man. and while Griffin was adjudged guil ty, the court placed him on proba lion for eighteen months. One claim ed that Griffin had hired him. to make the haul James Duggan, Wil hams Township colored man and a third defendant in the case, was found not guilty when he explained to the court that he was merely bumming a ride from his home to Williamston when Patro.Unaii Brown stopped the taxi and turned the case over to the federal authorities. A. C. Harrison, charged with re tailing illegal liquor, was sentenced to Atlanta for a year and a day Grover Nicholson will start serv ing an 18-months term in Atlanta on December 15, the court allowing him until that time to complete the harvesting of his crops Five of the 42 defendants were brought to this county to await their removal to Atlanta later in the month Colored School Occupys Addition Crowded conditions .existing in the local colored schools during tin* past! few years were partially relieved yesterday when three grades were j moved into a hew three-room addi tion. Prior to the move yesterday three grades were taught in the au ditorium and the principal, K J. Hayes, held a class in his office with the students overflowing into the hall. The addition completed this week was constructed at a cost of $3,200, the education authorities allotting $600 for the purchase of furniture and equipment. "We are overjoyed with the relief that has come, and we?are, greatly appreciative of the effects of the county education authorities in com ing to our rescue," Principal Hayes I said this morning "We are more de ! termined than ever to execute a pro I gram acceptable to those who en j trust to us the important work of' making better citizens of our pupils, Hayes added. While the addition greatly relieves i the crowded conditions in the school, 1 the authorities find it necessary to continue two shifts The arrange I ment is not veiy convenient, but the teachers, forgetting the extra work, are now in a position to handle an j effective work. ?f Ertnctlcd Huh /'ro/i/cm ifttiin lit'fort* litHirtl Of Education The problem centered around a crowded bus serving the Parmele Training school has been dumped back into the lap of the county board of education Going to the State School Commission in Raleigh this week, Superintendent of Schools J C.
