In only four of the ten cases reported did a sin gle disease claim more than one vic tim. Whooping cough, claiming vic tims by the scores during several months in 1939, continued a slight hold with the virtual assurance that Martin County will not have to look to other sections for seed in starting a 1940 epidemic. The report released a short time ago by the health department shows that a single new case of tuberculo sis developed among the colored population in Goose Nest Town ship. There were two scarlet fever cases, one in Williamston and one in Jamesville. Two chickenpox cases were reported, in Williamston, and there was one case of measles in the country not far from Williamston. So far in this month two cases of tuberculosis and two cases of whoop ing cough have been reported in the county. More People Killed In Rural Sections Raleigh?Records of the Highway Safaty Division ravaal that from four to five times as many people are kill ed in traffic accidents in rural areas of the state as are killed in cities and towns, despite the fact that the total number of accidents, fatal and non fatal, is approximately the same in cities as in rural areas. Last year, for example, records show that 182 fatalities occurred in 4,028 traffic accidents in North Car olina cities and towns, while 761 peo ple were killed in 4.131 accidents in rural areas of the state. Speed "too fast for conditions" is held accountable for a large propor tion of the highway fatalities in ru ral areas. "Too many drivers regard an open road as an invitation to step on the gas and see how fast their ear* will go," Ronald Hocutt, director of the highway safety division, declared af ter a study of statistics relating to rural and urban traffic fatalities. "Through a state-wide educational program and stricter enforcement of our motor vehicle laws, we can ma terially reduce this wide margin be tween deethe on our city streets and ob our rural 1 Cites Need for Increased Soil Building Practices in County Forgetting tor the moment any immediate plan (or relieving the Tarm problem. Agent B E Grant, of lertle County, discussed a long range igricultural plan at the Martin bounty Farm Bureau weekly forum riere last evening when he cited the freat need for increased soil build-1 ng practices in this and other east ern counties. "At one time there were hundreds if millions of acres of land under cultivation. Those acres have been worn out and washed away." the Bertie agent said. In 1937 Bertie far ners did not pay much attention to >oil-building practices even though ihey adhered to the conservation program, and they earned hardly $3. >00 in the special payments. State au .horities recognized the problem and cooperated with Bertie in advancing soil-building practices and in 1938 ihey earned $18,000. Where Bertie farmers had been seeding five or six hundred acres to winter crops, they bought 150,000 pounds of seed in 19S8 and planted five or tlx thousand acres, and the work is just getting started, the agent explained. The' agent also told the Martin farmers about the extensive use of phosphates and lune in the neighboring county Plans are now underway for the purchase of a solid carload of seed for winter crops next season, and the program will be advanced on a more extensive scale, the agent added The forum last night advertised an order for twcnty-fivc tons of hay,1 reviewed interesting tests made in the production of corn and soybeans, and discussed programs for future meetings. The forums are attracting added interest each week, and they hold the possibility of proving of great value to those farmers who find time to attend them. OPENS SMOKEHOUSE | Mr. Ira T. Coltrsln, after dili gent search, found the key and opened the Martin County "smokehouse" this mornlnf at ?:M o'clock when he dipped four nice herrings from the Roanoke at .JamesvUle. The fish tipped the scales at about two pounds Catching three little bitty fishes and the m.mma ft?h too. the veteran fisherman brings rood news to hundreds who look to the Roanoke for their princi pal meat supply. Last year, Mr. Coltraln dipped the first fish out of the stream on February 7, the delayed catch this year being attributed to cold weather and ice In the riv er In recent weeks. Establish No Clues In Late Robberies Thinking his worries were all over with the recent announcement by the ilate Supreme Court that sheriffs ^rid coroner* woutd Tiot h?ve to en ter the political primaries this com ing May, Sheriff C. B. Roebuck is getting little rest these days. With three recent robberies in the county unsolved, the officer is working day anrf night and worrying without ally let-up. Maintaining that it is not his conscience, the officer declares that those unsolved robberies are caus ing him worry and keeping hifhJrom sleeping at night. Compared with the last Friday night robbery in Hamilton, the one in Oak City did not amount to a great deal. Entering Jack Smith's service station, robbers stole three cartons of cigarettes, a few sandwiches and about $20 in nickels from a slot ma chine. The officer thinks the work was handled locally. Thought to have established a clue in the Jamesville filling station rob bery, the officer reports now that he has made little progress in that or any of the other cases. Williamston police are remaining quiet in connection with the attempt ed safe robbery at Chas H Jenkins' garage last Saturday night. And four robberies remain unsolved. Ausbon Rogers, colored, is facing court action for alleged thefts in and around several homes here. Common Street Figure Diet At Hi? Humble Home Here Wiley Perkins, aged colored man and a common character on the streets and around the welfare of fices here for a long period, died in his humble shack on Washington Street early Wednesday morning. The old man was buried here Wednesday. Local Street And Sideicalk Project O.KehedbyWPA A project (or the paving of a number ef sidewalks snd the surfacing of several streets here has been approved, and an allo cation of funds by the Works Progress Administration in Washington is expected within the next few days, Lee Wallace, head of the local WPA office, said this week. Ordinarily a project Is delay ed in Washington not more than two or three weeks, and it Is possible that work on the project will get underway by the early part or middle of March. The proposal sails for paved sidewalks on Warren Street, Marshall Avenue and Grass Street Surfacing will be done on Warren Street, Marshall Are nas, Hassell. Elm and Grace Btraeta and on possibly two or three blocks of Smith wick Street leading to the high school build ? lag.

But it was a tough session for the two defendants facing the record er. The court dispatched its business and adjourned almost within the hour. Pleading not guilty in the case charging him with an assault with a deadly weapon, Willie McKensey Williams was adjudged guilty and sentenced to the roads for three months. Eli Linwood Williams, generally known us "I.in" and n fjoquent dw fendant in the courts of this'county, pleaded not guilty in the case charg ing him with operating an automo bile while he was intoxicated. He Was adjudged guilty and Judge Peel first sentenced him to the roads for a period of four months. The judg ment was later altered and he ap pealed from the $100 fine imposed by the court. Bond in the sum of $250 was required. Williams was ar-J rested in Robersonville last Friday night by Sergeant Jackson, of the highway patrol, and Officer Wade Griffin. He was given a hearing the following mornaig before Mayor H S. Everett who sent the case to the county court for trial. Two civil actions of Monday, Feb ruary 5, were recorded in the min utes of the session held this week. In the case of Nora Rogerson against Weeks (WicksieJ Rogerson, the court" ruled that the plaintiff was not en titled to certain property claimed in the action, and the court ordered the costs taxed against her. A similar judgment was entered in a like case brought by Nora Rogerson against Jesse B. Rogerson. Feed Markets Are Slightly Higher Feed markets averaged slightly higher during the week with declines in oilseed cakes and meals more than offset by advances in wheat feeds, the U. S and North Carolina Departments Of Agriculture reveal ed in the weekly market news ser vice review. Light market offerings rather than a more active demand were the prin cipal strengthening influence in millfeeds. The index number ad vanced to 121.3 compared with 120.7 for the previous week and 101.8 for the corresponding week last year. Offerings of good quality peanut hay were lighter in South Georgia and prices advanced from 13.00 to 15.00 per ton in Atlanta and from 13.00 to 14.00 in Jacksonville during the period Eastern North Carolina buyers of farmer's stock peanuts at milling points are still uninterested in pay ing prices which holders are asking and sales have been very light dur ing the past week. In contrast, con suming centers are showing more interest in finished goods but there has been a slight weakening in prices. Meanwhile, best jumbos still bring 4 cents per pound and occasionally more and best shelling stock up to 3 3-4 cents per pound to the produc er. Hogs advanced Monday, lost the upturn and closed with minor prices alteration. Fat lambs finished 25 to 40 cents higher in spite of increased marketings, reflecting more stable wholesale trade condition. Best yearlings steers made 11.75, hogs reached B.75 Monday and closed at 5.85 down, fat lambs sold down from m Net price changes on the Rocky Mount, Kinston and Fayetteville hog buying stations were or a minor na ture this week. Tops for good and choice 160 to 250 pound weights opened at 5.35 in Rocky Mount and Kinston and closed st 5.40. Fayette ville opened at 6.40 and dosed at 6.45 while Florence opened at 6.46 and closed at 6.40. Cotton Production I mlrnrorx Marked L' ItTlt I r* * illi ??* ~? V Decrease In County Onoc a Million-Dollar Crop, The Staple Now Sells For Few Thousand Dollars For years 3nd years recognized as .no of the leading and most depcn iable crops in Martin County, cot ton reached a new low record pro duction last year according to an un official government report released a few days ago For the first time possibly since reconstruction days production fell well under a thous and bales. Where the crop once ex ceeded 10,000 or more bales annual ly and sold for as high as a million and a half dollars, last year there were only 521 bales produced and ! sales amounted to hardly $26,000. I While a general view of the situa tion would point to cotton farming as fast becoming one of the lost arts in Martin County, u break-down of the plantings for the period of 1928 39 will show that quite a few farm ers have pugnaciously held on to the crop regardless of how hot the han-1 dling was to their Income ratio. But it is quite evident that the general tendency has been away from King Cotton and toward Ole Man 'Bacco. Martin County has grown tobacco in cycles according to a review of incomplete records. Prior to 1919, and most everyone remembers about that time when quite a few farmers held 40-cent cotton for 50 cents and snme actually talked-ia-tcrms of dol lars ft.r pntinds this minify hail ft^ considerable cotton acreage, possi- j bly more than 10,000 acres. Acreages olanted to the crop started dwindling I soon after that and reached a low point in 1927 when only 5 001 haloa were produced. The production curve darted moving upward and in 1928 There were 11,300 acres planted to the crop. But the upward trend was short lived anil by 1931 acreages dropped to half the 1928 figure and production was down to 3,240 bales. I Low tobacco prices in 1932 and 1933 . turned^ Martin farmers again to cot ton and the acreage figures jump ed to above the 9.000 mai k. Ai'ieuge figures were irregular for the next few years, but in 1938 the lid was lifted and cotton started flying iiway. Last year there were hardly I 3,uuo acres planted to the crop and ] ' production fell to around 500 bales. In recent years while Martin far I mers pleaded for additional tobacco allotments, they had planted actual ly less than half of their cotton al lotments. This yoac tttey diavc~beeh1 allotted 6,762 acres. With tobacco prices uncertain and a more or less definite method of control for the boll weevil, it is be (Continued on page six) Last Rites Are Held Near Jamesville For Mrs. H. M. Holliday ???

That said collision, and plaintiff's personal injuries and injuries to plaintiff's car was directly, actually and proximately caused by the neg ligence of the defendant in that at the time or just prior to said colli sion, said defendant was wilfully, maliciousty, -wrongfully and negli gently operating his car at an un lawful. unreasonable and excessive rate of speed, to-wit: 75 miles per hour. That wtihout any negligence or fault of this plaintiff, plaintiff's per sonal injury and property was due solely and caused proximately by the wrongful, unlawful and malicious acts and omissions of the defendant in the following particulars: In that the defendant wrongfully, and maliciously, negligently, care lessly and unlawfully drove said car directly ir^to the car of plaintiff at a rate of speed to-wit: around 75 miles per hour. In that the defendant wrongfully and maliciously, negligently, care lessly and unlawfully operated said car without proper lookout and with out having same under control, not having regard for the traffic laws so as to endanger lives and persons rightfully on said highway.

Temporary repairs were made while new parts moved in less than 24 hours later from New York. Hardly before members of the force had washed their hands, n rostl part on the newspaper press went haywire and tore up the machine. The management turned to Chicago then for parts, but they were too heavy to be handled by parcel post and repairs to the press will not be possible before the early part of next week. A pressman has been Called from Atlanta to dismantle the press and install the new parti, and it is quite likely that The Enterprise will be gallavanting around and Troubling other shops until about Wednesday or Thursday of next week. * To round out the harrowing pro gram last Wednesday, a member of the force carelessly handled one of the forms and spilled an entire page of type all over the floor.

Scattering Damage Caused By Storm White centralizing .in-110 definite areas in this county, winds of gale force caused considerable damage to property over a widely scattered ter ritory late Tuesday night and Wed nesday Hoofs were ripped from ?small buildings, especially tobacco barns, and the top was taken from the Early home near Oak City. Cloth was ripped and blown from large numbers of tobacco plant beds, but in must cases the farmers explained they could repair the damage and make it unnecessary to buy new can vas. Power and light and eommiiniea tion service was maintained locally during the entire blow, but short interruptions were reported in Ilas sell and in the Farm Life area late Wednesday afternoon. A tree fell | across the rural line in Griffins I Township and Farm Ltfr was with ' out service until shortly after six ; o'clock. Its transmission line blown down for quite a long distance, Oak j City and other towns in that area were plunged into darkness Wednes day night.

Authorize Detailed Survey for New Well And Line Extensions B?'lieve Attractive Propram < an Be Advanced with WI'A Agency Giving a serious problem serious consideration, Williamston's town commissioners in special session with health authorities and engineers last Tuesday night took steps to bolster the local water supply and make available water and sewer connec tions to the nearly 400 homps now being served by pumps and open wells and privies described as be ing of uncertain sanitary rating by the health authorities. The improve ment project, advanced in coopera tion with the Works Progress Ad ministration, apparently impressed the authorities and they ordered a detailed survey. The proposed proj ect to cost approximately $50,000 will give the town an adequate wa ter supply and make possible a 100 the town. Briefly addressing the meeting, County Health Officer John W. Wil liams pointed out that the prosecu tion of the proposed program for ex tending the water and sewer lines would possibly forestall an attack on the public health here. Presenting a map studded with various colored pins, Sanitarian Charles Leonard reviewed the water and sewer system as it is being main tained today. On the map were 319 red pins, segregated mainly in ti^o districts and showing the homes without water khd sewer connec tiorts. "Those districts are virtual dynamite in the town's health pro gram," Dr. Williams commented. Health* Engineer Abel explained that he considered it an opportune time for the town to act in building up its water supply and extending its water and sewer lines Hundreds of towns m the State have advanced similar projects and in a number of towns, including Wilmington, Wil son, Rocky Mount and quite a few in the Piedmont and western sec tions, have or are now completing systems that are 100 per cent effec tive or nearly so. Definite plans for the proposed project will be mapped by Engineer Rivers immediately. Particular at tention will be centered in that ter ritory between Washington and "Main Streets in addition to those dis tric-ts included in a survey made about two years ago or about the time the PWA petered out and just as the town made ready to launch an extensive program. Where the old project would have cost the town possibly $75,000, the one now under consideration can be financed for $30,000 or less Cost fig ures cannot be determined until a (Continued on page six) Fearing Lifts Lid Off District Politics D.

Dare County has not been represented in the sen ate for 37 years until Mr. Fearing was accorded the nomination with out contest two years ago. Returning to the upper house for a second term, Mr Fearing will take with him to Raleigh a determination to effectuate the provisions of the 1921 State Highway Law which de clared for the "connection of the cilunty seata by the most direct routes." Although the provision wis mandatory, twenty years have pass ed since the law was enacted, and still there is no direct connection be tween the capitals of Dare and Hyde and Tyrrell counties, or between Hyde and TyrrtlL Most notable accomplishment of Mr Fearing's initial term in the sen ate was the enactment of the Halter as Seashore Commission measure, carrying an appropriation of $10,000 for the preliminary work of trans ferring the vast coastal area to the National Park Service.
