VOLUME XLII?NUMBER 91 U illiamtton, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, November I t, 1939. ESTABLISHED 1899 Operators Of Slot Machines In This County Lose Money Owner* Lom* Machine* ami Are Ordered to Pay Siz able Fines by Court Slot machine owners and distribu tors are finding it a bit costly to do business in this county, reports com ing from the courthouse yesterday stating that a second $500 fine with costs of more than $100 attached had ! been imposed by Judge H O Peel. Abe Martin, at one time an em ployee of the McCormick Vending Machine Company with headquar ters in Greeny ilje^ was charged in the county court with violating the slot machine law. Entering a plea of not guilty. Martin, through his at torney. H. G. Horton. maintained | that the machines were not illegal The machines were the same ones that McCormick was charged with owning and distributing in this county. When McCormick was tried for alleged violation of the law a few weeks ago. he maintained that the machines belonged to Martin, that Martin, his agent, had switched the machines for others without his (McCormick's) knowledge. At the first trial, McCormick was adjudged guilty, the court imposing a $500 fine upon him It was the opinion of the court that any machine that could be easily converted into a gambling device was illegal, and the defense admitted that it had Order ed the machines of the race horse type to be placed in this county Martin, admitting that he had switched the machines without the knowledge of McCormick. claimed the machines for his own. explain ing that he had stored the McCor mick race horse machines and sub stituted five of his own in their | places The state offered five witnesses, Messrs. Linwood Johnson, of Gold i Point; Lewis Johnson, Latham James and Warren, of Robersonville, and Tobey Rogers, of Bear Grass They told the court that Martin had placed the race horse machines in their places of business with the in structions to keep the "pay-off box" locked. When a customer won any thing, the owner or operator of the business where the machine was lo cated was to unlock the box and pay it to the winner or he could pay the amount designed by the machine out of his own pocket and be reimbursed from the machine later. Judge Peel fined him $500 and taxed him with the cost. Notice of ap peal was given, but just before the court adjourned there was some talk of withdrawing the appeal if the court would have the fine include the costs which were in excess of $100. The machines, valued at possibly $300 each, were ordered confiscated Sheriff C. B Roebuck stating that he did not know what he was going to do with them There is some doubt if they can be sold legally and it is likely that the expensive machines will be wrecked. It was the third time that a case charging violation of the slot ma chine laws had been called in Judge Peel's court. In the first case, the de fendant, the owner of the property where the machine, a one-arm ban dit, was found, was fined $50 and taxed with the cost, the county get ting an additional $28 in nickels found in the machine. Three Implicated In From Autos Thefts Two persons were arrested here and a third was taken into custody in Greenville a short time "later in connection with a series of thefts from automobiles parked on local streets yesterday. Fred Whitley and Lewis Shep pard, colored men of Bear Grass Township, were jailed for allegedly receiving stolen goods. "Crip" Davis, Greenville Negro, was reported to have been arrested in the Pitt cap ital for the alleged theft of a num ber of articles. Davis was said to have stolen a lady's coat from Hildreth Mobley's car, a suit of clothes from the car of Dean House, Charlotte man and sev eral bundles from other cars An overcoat recovered has not been re ported stolen, the local police sta tion reported this morning. The thief was said to have estab lished a bargain center in the union bus station rest room He offered the stolen goods for sale at drastic re ductions, the prices running as low as one-tenth the actual value. Chief W. B. Daniel, accompanied by Sheppard. went Jo Greenville shortly before noon this morning to identify Davis ? Barnhill, Evans And Moye ' Have Firtl Sale Friday To make available space for the storage of redried tobacco, the firm of Barnhill, Evans and Moye are holding sales only in the Farmers Wandsouse here, the Planters house being used by the redrying plant. Under this arrangement, the first sale on Friday, November 17, will be held in the Farmers warehouse instead of the Planters, as formerly announced. Tobacco Sales Approach the 10-Million Pound Mark Here With floors blocked yesterday and a fairly sizable sale underway to- J day, the local market is fast ap proaching the ten million-pound mark today, Sales Supervisor K. B. Crawford stating that the total for the season would run well in ex cess of the ten million-pound mark. The block yesterday was cleared this morning shortly before eleven o'clock, the market selling Monday 227,204 pounds for an average slight ly in excess of 17 cents a pound. The season average is ranging above 15 cents. After ranging up to the twenty cent level a few days ago. the price trend has been slightly downward t?n4--is now holding-to uhout -17-18 cents. Possibly the quality of the to bacco has influenced the price trend. weakening of the general price av rage throughout the belt are chang ing from one market to another. Quite a few have wandered away from the local market during the past few days, but a large portion of the group have already returned, declaring they were "burned up" by wandering here and there. Some few said they made money by hauling their tobacco fifty miles or more, but several explained that the dif ference was not worth the cost. While some have wandered from this market, others have wandered here from other markets, and the warehouses here have already sold more tobacco this season than was er sold in a single season before. Block sales this late in November wtirv.-seldora -or evcr-heardiif .before this season. No closing date for the local roar ing activities are hardly likely to continue into next month. r~ UNUSUAL One of the most unusual sweet potato freaks ever seen here was offered this week by Far mer J. J. Roberson, of the Farm Life section. One potato, falling into a IT. S. No. 1 grade, grew through the center of another potato of equal grade. The "love" potatoes grew in the form of a crude cross. Mr. Koberson has been grow ing sweet potatoes for more than half a century and declares he never saw or heard of one po tato growing through another one. He has seen potatoes pierc ed by nut grass, however. Ministers Exchange Methodist Pulpits Ke\. S. J. Sturm** Suceedn Dr. S. A.

I Well-Known Hassell Citizen Died At His Home There Friday $ Liht Kile* Held Sunday After noon; Interment in llaiuiltoii ? Joseph T Haislip, well-known county man and member of a fam ily long prominent in the Hasse 11 Hamilton section of this county, diod at his home in Hassell last Friday af ternoon at 5:45 o'clock following an illness of several months' duration Heart trouble with which he had suf fered for quite a while, was given as the immediate cause of his death. His condition was not considered criti cal however, until just about ten days or two weeks before his death. The son of the late Alexander and Nancy Kawls Haislip, he was born in the Hamilton community 65 years ago last March. After devoting the early part of his life to farming, he entered the government service 33 years ago the 10th of last March. During that period he faithfully and untiringly served the rural patrons of the Hassell postoffiee. His effi cient service was supplemented by a kindness and understanding that gained for him a lasting friendship over the route he followed day in and day out for a third of a century. In early manhood. Mr Haislip mar ried Miss Katie Staton, of this coun ty, and she with three sons, Messrs. J A . George S., and A S. Haislip, all of Hassell, and three daughters, Mrs. C. L. Nelson, of Hassell; Mrs. J. Hoy Murtin and Miss Thelma Hal slip, both of Greenville, survives. He also leaves seven grandchildren and four brothers, Messrs. Fl. M , Frank L., R A and G. R Haislip, all of this county. A member of the Hassell Christian Church for a number of years, Mr Haislip was held in high esteem and was regarded as a valuable citizen to his community and county. His rec ord of faithful service was recogniz ed by the government upon his re tirement last March 10. Funeral services were conducted at the late home Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by his pastor, Rev J M Perry, assisted by Rev Jack Purvis, an old friend of the family. Inter ment was in the family plot in the Hamilton cemetery. Loral Hen Europe Injury In llytle County Wreck Messrs. V. J. Spivey, Henry Grif fin and Vernon Bunting, local men, escaped injury when their car, a Mercury coach, went out of control and landed in a Hyde County canal last Sunday morning. The car, driv en by and belonging to Mr. Griffin, was wrecked, but the occupants es caped without a scratch. Highway Accident Record ? The highway accident record in this county was not aggravated very much last week, official reports coming from the Highway Pa trol Force, Sergeant L. L. Jackson and Patrolman W. E. Saunders, showing that only one smash-up was entered on the records. However, the favorable report for the period does not indicate, by any means, that Martin County motorists have settled down to a safe, sane and common-sense driving program Hardly had the report been filed by Sergeant Jackson before a complaint was heard about high .wide and fancy driving of the careless type. A driver, his head hanging high and apparently day dreaming, crashed a stop sign at a speed estimated at 25 miles an hour, missing another car by inches. Reports from the State indicate that the drunken driver is fast retaking the lead as buster-upper on the streets and highways, but in this county it is the helter-skelter, always-in-a-hurry group that is accounting for most of the wrecks. There is no inference, howev er, that the cautious and careful driver will not figure in a wreck at some time or another. Martin County has seen eight lives robbed on the highways, 53 people injured and a property loss in excess of )11,000 follow in the wake of the automobile Will the list be increased? Every driver and pedestrian, too, can help answer that all-important question. A comparison of records for the week ending last Sunday and for the year prior to that time follows: Property Accidents Injured Killed Damage Period ending Nov. 5 57 52 8 $10,905.00 Week ending Nov. (2 ' 1 1 0 200.00 TOTALS 58 53 8 $11,105.00 Alleged Violator of Tobaceo Scrap Law Found Not (Guilty Several Other (lanes Clliurgiiif: Violation of Scrap Lih Awaiting Trial Paul Bullock, young county white man charged with buying and sell ing scrap tobacco without a proper license, was found not guilty in the recorder's court here yesterday, the prosecution falling down complete ly in proving the charge that the de fendant had bought scrap tobacco from farmers in this county. The State proved that Bullock had been seen hauling scrap tobacco on rrtttst Moctct A t^oTTl aiTd'TrattCT.nhni he had sold scrap to a dealer in Rob ersonville. but no evidence was of fered by the State to actually prove that the defendatn had bought the inferior type of tobacco from farm ers for re-sale. It was not establish ed by the State how much scrap to bacco had been sold by Bullock but two witnesses said they had seen him several times while hauling scrap tobacco on the highways of the coun ty. A representative of a scrap to bacco dealer told the court that Bul lock had delivered tobacco to him on several occasions, but he did not seem to know how much or any of the details connected with the sale The defense explained to the court that it planned to offer evidence tending to show that Bullock was hauling the tobacco for farmers, that he had not bought scrap for re sale. However, the defense did not take the stand, the court granting a motion of non-suit at the conclusion of the evidence offered by the State Jasper Williams is now facing the courts for alleged violation of the tobacco scrap license law. His case is scheduled for trial on Monday, December 4 Warrants have been issued in sev eral other cases, but the defendants have not yet been arrested It is quite evident that some far mers and possibly others are joining the alleged violators in ah attempt to thwart the prosecution, but on the other hand quite a few farmers, maintaining that the sale of scrap only depresses the market for better types of tobacco, have expressed a willingness to aid the prosecution. Ii is also quite apparent that the exhorbitant tax $250 for canvass ers and $500 for handlers or re dry ing plant?is not solving the tobac co scrap problem, that a number of licenses of both types have been bought in this section of the State in recent weeks. Two canvassers and two redrying plants have purchased the necessary licenses m this coun ty to date, according to records held by the State Department of Reve nue, Raleigh. -I Haiders Active In County Last Week ?*? Following a period of little activ ity, Martin_County officers renewed their campaign against illicit Iquor manufacturing lust week, Special Officer J II Hoebuck reporting three stills wrecked and a quantity of beer and equipment destroyed Going into Hamilton Township above Ilassell, the officers found a still in full operation. The plant, in cluding a 100-gallon capacity copper kettle, 400 gallons of beer and 21 gallons of liquor, was destroyed. Getting a glimpse of the officers as they approached the plant, the op erator took full advantage of the lead of approximately 75 yards and was soon out of sight and hearing Ileputy Roy Peel gave chase, but the operator, a colored man, soon lost himself in the swamp and escaped. Two 20-gallon kegs and one 10-gal lon glass jug were confiscated. The next day the officers went to the Edgecombe-Martin boundary line and wrecked a 50-gallon still made from a gasoline drum, pour ing out 100 gallons of beer. On Thursday, the officers wreck ed a 50-gallon capacity copper still and poured out 150 gallons of beer in Bear Grass Township. There continues little activity in the illicit liquor trade in ths county, according to information coming from the enforcement head t Slightly Hurt In Auto Accident Early Monday James Coburn, young colored man, was slightly injured when he walked in front of a car driven by James Williams on Washington street shortly after midnight yesterday The driver had just about brought his car to a stop when it struck Co burn who was said to have been drinking and wandered into the path of the car. Coburn, while quite sore, was re ported late yesterday to be getting along fairly well but continued in bed. ?

The cover crops were turned under on April 15 and planting followed ten days later, the boy using a recogni/ ?'d variety of seed. Two loads of barnyard manure and 500 pounds of basic slag were spread on the land when the Cover crop was turned under Three hundred and fifty pounds of 5-7 5 fertilizer was put under the corn.'One appli cation of 200 pounds of Nitrate Soda was applied on June 18 The total fertilizer cost was $15 07 or 12.6 cents per bushel.

"We can see no major obstacle in the way of the proposed program." an official of the town was quoted, as saying today af ter district WPA authorities had giv en their approval to the plan. The proposed project is slated to cost approximately $30,000, about one-third of the amount to be borne by the town. No definite plan for fi nancing its share of the project has been advanced by the town authori ties, but it is possible for them to assess the full amount against the property owners .and make unnec essary any increase in the town bonded debt It will be recalled that the street improvement programs in the past acre financed by as sessmg the property owners -with fifty per cent of-the cost and the town floating bonds for the-other fifty per cent Under the proposed plans, the WPA will figure promi nently in the Cost and lower the cost to the property owner and make unnecessary any obligation whatev er on the part of the town. The authorities arc proceeding on a very conservative scale in that llu'51 will tint use concrete lor the streets A special surfacing mater ial is being considered at a cost run nmg as low as 40 cents a square yard. Sidewalk paying will cost around $1.90 a square yard, it is cs t limited, and curl) arid gutter will cost about 1)0 cents a lineal foot. Assuming the town will assess its 'proportionate cost to the property owner m its entirety, then the owner I ol a fifty loot lot would be asked to pay a total of $30 00 or about that amount as follow; street surfacing, $10.04, based op a street 30 leet wide,, cuih and gutter. $13.50 and sidewalk, $12.54 The program tentatively adopted follows, by streets, with tile approx imate -cost to the town oi abutting property owner Urate Street, special surfacing, 30 feet wide anil HO5 feet -long. $341); sidewalks, four feet wide and 880 ft- t long, $450, curb and guttering, $475 Marshall Avenue, street .miiacing, 2<> 1? < I wide, and I,Mill feet long, $S)Kl, sidewalks four by 1,310 feet, $6f55, curl) and glittering, $710 Warren Street will almost be a duplicate <>j Marshall Avenue with the exception of sidewalk already paved.

Elm Street from Church to Mam, 24 by 424 feet, $275 sidewalk, 4 by 424 feet, $100; curb and gutter, $230. Massed Street, the shortest in town, surfacing, 24 by 500 feet, $325; curb and gutter, $275. The. type of streets proposed in the program is a tar-rock-gravel combination The base, about four inches in depth, is made of rock about one and one half inches in size. A gallon of tar is applied to that layer and then covered with smaller rock followed by another coat of tar and fine screen rock. It will possibly he sixty days or more before the program can be .launched, provided it is approved bv the Raleigh awdWashington offices.
