ESTABLISHED 1899 Idle for Four Weeks, County Court Has Busy Day Monday| Jurist- H. O. I'm*I Ini| IOM> J Heavy Fine anil Hoad Sentences Idle since December 4th, the Mar- I tin County Recorder's Court re-1 sumed activities Monday with a record number of cases awaiting at tention. The docket carried twenty two cases and Judge H. O. Peel and Solicitor D. E. Johnson worked well into late afternoon clearing it. The attendance upon the session was far .larger than that reported during the last term of the superior tribunal in December. A review of the court rec ords shows that the number of cases on the docket was the largest in many months, the court seldom hav ing handled that many in previous | sessions. Judge Peel cracked down on | drunken automobile (drivers, impos ing a $100 fine in one case and met ing out a six months' road sentence | in another. Proceedings in the court: J. P. Holliday, charged wlfjfforci ble trespass, was adjudged not guil der prayer for judgmental a^pre-1 vious session. W. G.

George T. Adams,^charged with | drunken and reckless driving, plead ed guilty to the charge of drunken I driving. He was fined $100, taxed | with the cost and had his license re voked for a period or one yeas. Edward Coffield failed to answer when called in the case charging him | with violating the liquor laws.

Charged with violating the motor vehicle laws, Curtis Rhodes pleaded guilty of drunken driving and was fined $50, taxed with the "cost: and] had his license revoked for one year He appealed and the court required | bond in the sum of $100.

Roebuck continues to "drag" around while awaiting a ruling by the State Su preme court which will decide whe ther he will have to enter the poli tical race this summer and fall or coast along in office another two years without interference byoth er aspirants to the post. In 1938 the voters passed an amendment lengthening the term of sheriffs from two to four years, lliere was some doubt whether the amendment would become effective in time to save the sheriffs in the State from a political battle in 1940 The attorney general intimated that the term beginning in December, 1938. would run for four years for the sheriffs and coroners: But there arose a difference of opinion and the question was dumped into the lap of the Supreme Court for a ft nal answer. It has been suggested that it is necessary for the sheriffs to run along with the governors that a siz able vote can be polled This feature will likely carry no weight when the court acts, but the possibility of an adverse decision on the second of next month is causing the present of ficers much concern. Coroner S. R. Biggs, whose politi cal activities are dependent upon the action of the court, is not worrying for ma pay is su small thaw even a little bit of worrying would not be justified. Sheriff C. B. Roe buck declares he is not worrying, but when he makes such a statement there is some doubt as to its truth fulness. Chamberof Commerce Organization Effected! Martin farmers Will Have Fair Leaf Allotments Reports coming from the of fice of the county farm agent today indicate that Martin farmers will get a fair share of the State tobacco allotment. Small farmers with about three acres will get within one or two tenths of their 1939 allotments, it was learned, and no farmer will have his quota reduced more than 20 per cent below his 1939 allotment. When the need for a drastic cut in production is considered, the reduction order ed is not so bad. after all, it was pointed out. The allotments will be avail able to Martin farmers about the middle of next week. Preliminary estimates indi cate that Martin farmers will get an I8,2tWarrr peanut allot ment this year, or about two per cent less than the figure for 1939. Family Of Mine Is v ? - Rurned Out Here In Early Morning Fire v _ " ; i Four < liihlrcii Forml From Ituriiitip "Erurker Ro\" III Sii^lil (Jollier Four small children, forced to flee in their night clothes, barely escap ed with their lives In an early morn ing fire yesterday when the little home of Waller Johnson,?colored employee at the. municipal water plant, burned down on South Syca more Street, throwing the family of nine out into freezing weather A rocking chair, kicked out the door to make room for the fleeing group, was saved A few clothes, badly damaged by fire and water, and one or two other articles were dug from the ruins. Johnson's wife recovered two or three dollar bills from a coat that had been burned all around the pocket Clothes carefully packed in a tiunk wt'i'i' lendeiect useless When they were burned at the folds. Rising early as usual, Johnson, a faithful worker in the town service for a number of years, built a fire in the heater and reported for duty at the water plant. Two of the sev en children were,up and divssed, but noither one was able to tell how the fire started. Thought to have started from the heater or uhimney, the fire was bursting through the front and back of the small three room house when the alarm was telephoned to the volunteer depart ment. And the structure burned as if it had been a cracker box. ?The house valued at about $275. was partially insured. Fire Chief G P. Hall stating that the owner, Mr. V. D. Godwin, carried a policy on the structure in the sum of $200. No insurance was carried on the con tents. and Johnson and his family are without changing clothes. Johnson has made no appeal for aid, but the case merits attention. Anyone whojran snare an odd piece of furniture 01 any-old cloth ing can help the family a great deal if a calT is made to the water plant advising call for any articles that can be made available to them. The chil dren's ages range down to three years.
