VOLUME XLII?NUMBER 84 ffilliamtton, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, October 20, 1030. ESTABLISHED 1899 Nine Cases Called In The Recorders Court Last Monday ? DepreMion Continues Gri|> as Court (iolltN't* No Fine* From Defendant* The Martin County Recorders court, while experiencing no slump in the number of cases booked for its consideration, is reflecting tight times on the financial front for al leged violators of law and order. Not a single fine was imposed by the court at the last Monday session when nine cases were given atten tion by Judge H. O. Peel. In place of fines, the tribunal is exacting pun ishment in the form of jail and road sentences. Reports from officers of various courts throughout this sec tion indicate that defendants are able to produce cash and gain their freedom in most cases. Proceedings in the court during a comparatively short session Mon day are, as follows: Failing to abide by a former judg ment, Johnnie Peel, charged with non-support, was sentenced to the common jail for a term of four months to be worke'd under the di rection of the sheriff, the jailer and the superintendent of the county home. Charged with bastardy. Robert Pierce was ordered to pay into the court the sum of $5 monthly for 12 months for his child. He is to reap pear for further judgment at the end of twelve months. Bond in the sum of SI00 was required by the court. Charged with drunken driving. J T Matthews was found not guilty. The case charging Walter Moore with bastardy was continued until after the birth of the child. Charged with disposing of mort gaged property. Howard Griffin was sentenced to the roads for six months. He appeal to the superior court and bond was required in the sum of $200, Harry Barnes, charged with lar ceny and receiving, was sentenced to the roads for 90 days, the sentence to begin at the direction of the court at any tune within the next two >ears.

Jackson, charged with larceny and receiving, was sentenced to tin* roads for a period of 90 days Charged with drunken and reck less driving,~James E Wlntaker was found not guilty of the first charge, but was adjudged guilty of reckless driving, the court continuing the | case under prayvrfur judgment until { the second Monday in January, 1940. Ki wan is Meeting Is Featured by Timely Talks Last Evening ??? CIomt C<>o|?rrulinii l or- Farm ViiiI Tom ii Folk* Si'i'ii V? lll'Mlll of Ml'I'lillU Thursday night the Kiwanis club entertained J K Winslow. president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau; Haywood Dail, influential farmer and business man of Greenville ber one which is canvassing county for Farm Bureau members, and his assistants or team members. The following Farm Bureau canvas sers were present H U. Peel, Gar land Furbes,?Frank Bailey, O. S 1 Green, Bill Harrison, Bill Beach, i George Griffin, H. L. Roebuck and I Bob Everett. -Ber?Frank G. Sayers, nationally known speaker and lecturer, reprc senting the Collins Festival commit tee, spoke briefly to the club and it visitors. Dr. Sayers stated that the age or period of rugged individual ism was rapidly fading into the back ground both nationally and interna tionally and appealed to the farmers and their hosts to cooperate and work as a unit. "Wtihout organiza tion and concerted effort your at -' tainments will be limited and fruit- j less," Dr. Sayers said Speaking for his assistants, Charles ! Daniel thanked the Kiwanis club for | its interest in the Farm Bureau pro- j gram. He introduced Mr. Winslow. who gave a short history of the Farm j Bureau as related to the depression j period and the overproduction of! various farm commodities in North I Carolina. The first cooperative effort in behalf of the tobacco farmer was realized in 1933 under the leadership of Mr Winslow. He told of the nec essity of a strong farm organization as the only means of realizing parity prices on all farm commodities. Mr. Winslow was followed by Haywood Dail who has a style all his own w hen it comes to speaking. Mr. Dail used humor, irony and gen uine personality in making his ap peal both to the business men and farmers to cooperate with the Farm Bureau. He told them that was very vital to every citizen in North Car olina. He was critical, but good na turedly so, and the Kiwanians liked it and approved of every point that he made. Farmers attending the meeting ex pressed today their appreciation for the hospitality accorded them by the club. Warns Against Early Picking Of Peanut Crop This Season "With plans well advanced for starting peanut harvesting in the county next week. Martin farmers are almost certain to experience a substantial loss," an authority on peanuts commented yesterday. He explained that advanced picking; that is, where the shell and nut are not thoroughly dry. will depress the market as a general rule, that all far mers will be penalized to a certain extent. He added that in past years those farmers who started picking their peanuts before they were "bone" dry were penalized as much as one-half to one cent a pound. Possibly there are a few crops ready for the picker, but reliable' re ports state that farmers will take some risk if they start picking be fore the early part of next month. "The crop, as a whole, is not ready to be picked," a farmer said yester day While it is true the farmer who delays the picking operations might experience difficulty in completng the harvesting work on account of weather conditions, the gamble in that case is not as great as it is when he picks his peanuts before they are thoroughly dry. Although no basic reason has been advanced to support it, there is a gen eral belief that the current peanut crop will command a fair price. If Martin farmers exercise care in har vesting their peanuts .it is believed possible that they will receive well over three-quarters of a million dol lars for the crop. There were approximately 20,000 acres planted to peanuts in this coun ty this year, and it is roughly esti mated that the production will ap proximate some 22 million pounds, or around one-quarter million bags. The crop is fair and farmers are looking to the crop for a surplus in cash. Pulp Company To Add Big Unit To Its Plant FIRST SALES | / Kir si sales of peanuts from the current crop were reported in the county this week when pick inn operations not underway on )Ji a comparatively small scale. No official market has been an nounced. but it was learned that the first sales averaned three and one half rents a pound. The deliveries this week were reported to be in nood condi tion despite the early harvest inn activities. However, most farmers do not plan to start their pirkinn operations before some time next week or in early No vember, Martin Farmers Are Reporting Increased Sweet Potato Melds Imlirulion* I'oint To a Fairly Fiiroiira^in^ Price ( hit look Sweet potato harvesting got under way in the county this week, early reports indicating a substantial in crease in the per acre yield. Farmer Van Taylor is reporting a yield run-1 ning as high as 250 bushels per acre, I and W Mayo Hardison stated that his crop will possibly average in excess of 300 bushels of the U. S. No. 1 grade The average yield for the county, however, will fall well bejow 200 bushels, tin- average for 1938] standing at 158 bushels per acre. It is estimated that between 600 j and 700 acres were planted to the crop for the markets in the county this year, the estimate reflecting a small decrease in the acreage as com pared with the plantings a year ago. j The yield last year was not up to ] expectations, but the quality was | tTeTTrnrTTTan the avrrage reported far ! the few years previous to that time. The decreased acreage this year re sulted when farmers centered their i attention on increased tobacco plant ings ^ _J Unofficial reports indicate that the! price outlook is fairly favorable, that | the crop will sell for equally as much as it did last year and possibly com mand a slightly higher figure Hang ing from 75 cents to $1.01 a bushel, the price average last year v as con servatively estimated at 80 c< nU Acci -ding to information iev< -ved here this week a keener compel tion is expected on the local marke t this i season, unofficial reports coning from reliable sources stating tha the Farmers' Cooperative Exchun; ? is making preparations to enlarge its purchasing activities and local ? a cleaning station at this point. The Corbett Packing Company was the j big buyer on the local market last season, and it is possible that the firm will again be represent d here ihis coming season. Assuming thpre are 700 ; cres planted lu sweet potatoes in the county rnd that the yield will ap proximate 160 bushels to the acre then the gross cash income from the crop should amount to'nearly * 00, 000 or an amount equally as much if not more than that received by sweet potato growers in the county last sea son C. .4. Ilarriton Enter* llonpital For Treatment C. A. Harrison, local man, entered a Richmond hospital late last 1'ues day for treatment. Mr. Harrison, get ling up and dressing himself after a stay of six weeks in bed. stood the trip unusually well in a regular pas senger car. He was reported to have rested well yesterday and last night, and while he is quite sick, the doctors are quite hopeful he will respond to spec ial treatment. Addition To Plant In County To Cost A Million Dollars Hhmocii .?(H> anil !I(H) Work cr* To Be Km ployed S<*\ erul Month* A contract for the construction of a huge addition to the plant of the North Carolina Pulp Company in the lower part of this county has been let by the owners, according to offi cial information released yesterday by H. M Kieckhefer, secretary and treasurer of the company. Unofficially estimated'to cost be tween $800,000 and $1,000,000, the ad dition will make the plant indepen dent of other units. It will manufac ture a finished paper board product for use in the manufacture of milk bottle caps, cups and hundreds of other allied items. The William Muirhead Construc tion Company of Durham and Rich mond was awarded the contract, and work on the project is slated to got underway immediately. Plans call for its completion on or about the first?of next February; Another month will be required for the in stallation of the machinery and op erations are slated to get underway about the first of next March. It is understood that the enlarged plant will employ an additional 200 regular men and boost the present payroll by about $8,000 weekly. According to Mr. Kieckhefer, from 500 to 800 men will be employed when the construction work reaches its peak The buildings to be erect ed include bleaching room, beater room, machine room, and boiler room, in addition to an extension to the present wet room. While the con struction company will likely bring a great many of its own artisans and skilled workmen here for the work, it was said the personnel director of -Ihe county plant?wt4Ttisstst?irrTbf TTfiptOyrrient of as much local labor as possible, with former employees who have not been reemployed since the shutdown being given prefer ence. Commenting on the additions and what they will mean to Plymouth and the surrounding section, Mr Kieckhefer said that when completed, an additional 250 men will be given regular employment, adding about 18.000 a week to the present payroll of the plant, or just about doubling It. Two paper-making or board machines are to be Installed, and the finished product wil be sold directly to con tainer-making plants In the South and East One of the new pieces of (Continued on page six) Man Badly Hurt In Logwoods Accident t Thrown from a log cart in a woods in Griffins Township Wednesday af ternoon, John Smithwick, well known farmer of that district, was fcadly injured, late reports from the offices of Drs Brown and Walker where he was treated stating that he was expected to recover if no com plications resulted. Driving a pair of mules hitched to a cart loaded with logs, Mr. Smithwick was thrown from the ve hicle when it struck a stump. He is of the opinion that the heavily loaded cart passed over his back, but it is believed that his injuries would have been more severe had that happened. Possibly he was thrown against a Wheel. Following a study of X-ray pictures his physicians stated that (he backbone was injured and that possibly one of his lungs was hurt. Brought here in a Courtney ambu lance, Mr. Smithwick was returned to his home where he will likely be confined to his bed for three weeks or more. Brilliant Address Heard On Collins Program Last Night r r l)r. Frank Saver* Offers (ira* pliio I>i?%lnr?? of Trends of Tlventn in America "Individuals and governments can't hold to Model T ideas in a stream-lined world and meet the new problems as they present them selves," Dr. Frank G. Savers, re-1 nowned minister and noted lecturer,! told a small but receptive audience in the high school auditorium here last evening. His address, based on years of study and extensive travel, was the second in a series of pro grams in the Collins Fall Festival be ing sponsored here by the Junior Woman's club. Conscious of an im pressive religious background form ed during pastorate- in three of Am i rica's largest churches, l)i Sayers offered something that can't be found in the books, and just as he referred to Woodrow Wilson as t* great lead-, t r ahead of the limes his address is possibly a decade ahead of the times. I "Colonel Charles Lindbergh took one tiny word out of the dictionary I and put a halo around it when lie constantly referred to his flight 111 the term 'We'. That term the city, the I state, the nation and the world is go-1 mg to learn to use tar more than l', | 'Me', and 'My'," Dr. Sayers said in | discussing the topic, "The American Cavalcade". " individual selfish exploitation is coming in for severe treatment in the next generation The world.of man kind is thinking in the collective ide ology; whether they turn to the right with Fascism, or the left with Com munism, or whether they stay in the middle of the road with Pafliamen tarianism. The social concept is here j Upon us. the community idea and our responsibility in its will prevail, un employed insurance, hospitalization, and old age pen sons are hut straws in thg collective wind." "The twentieth century in these United States has seen three distinct decades of thought. We enjoyed the era of Idealism, whert ?d the opening of the century new discoveries were binding the earth together in the bonds of brotherhood, new emigrants' were welcomed with outstretched hands across the sea, and even Ted dy Roosevelt suggested a universal language, Esperanto, for all races of men. That era finished in a bloody trench and a world holocaust "The second era of post war times was one of Realism, for we had tired of idealists and wished to place our I destinies in the hands of safe and ] sane realists, hard-headed business . men who would stand no nonsence I about 'moral issues' so we surren dered idealism for prosperity. It was the Teapot Dome Oil Scandal, the Ohio Gang, the Krugers, Insulls, Mitchells and the Rig Bill Thump son's who took charge of the nation. It was the era of super salesmen, stock gambling, par excellent adver tising, over-expansion by cocksure leaders and prosperity at any price, but on a black October day the house of cards tumbled down, the leaders fled from the wrath of man, and the chimney smoke no longer belched from the factories. "The third decade of our twentieth century had begun, and that was Cynicism. The era of 'drab disap pointment, doubt, and despair: Fear gripped the nation,-and cynieinni -en veloped the" hearts of men every where. Man became a chemical for mulu, God a myth, and Jesus a bed time story. Cynicism swept over our land like a fog and darkest skcpti ( ism ruled the nation: fkheidcs wt-rt^ the exit for too many. This was the. birlhchamber of the fourth decade, (?ontinued on page six) Difficult To Take Autos For Taxes Performing his duties in accord ance with the law requiring the seiz ure of personal property for unpaid taxes, Sheriff C. B. Roebuck is ex periencing much difficulty in ac quiring automobiles This week the officer started to levy on a number of personal items, and the owners showed little inter est in the proceedings, but when the old family car was mentioned the owners started digging in their poc kets for the tax money. Not a single car was seized, and the officer re ported collections were good. Approaching one automobile own er, the sheriff asked for the payment of taxes. The owner replied that he would pay the bill "next Saturday " The officer then explained that he could not wait, that he would have to levy on and seize the ear right then and there. The owner then reached in his pocket, pulled out several greenbacks and settled his tax ac count. The round up for personal prop erty taxes is just getting started and it is almost certain that a varied col lection of items in addition to auto mobiles will be offered for sale on j or about the first Monday in Novem-1 ber. fw: The round up wasstarbd in Cross Roads, Hamilton and Goose Nest Townships and it will be extended throughout the county as rapidly as possible.

All P.D.B. demonstrations wen conducted in 1939. and 2.226 more plants were pulled at the first pull ing. and 14.292 during the season than from the untreated beds of 100 square yards.
