Manufacturing Plant*
In One Day
Another heavy blow was directed
against the illicit liquor manufactur
ing business in this county last week
when ABC Enforcement Officer J.
H. Roebuek, deputies and police con
ducted raids in four townships. A
climax to the raids came last Satur
day when four plants were destroy

Bear Grass Townships.
Three arrests were made in con
nection with the raids. Gaither Lock,
young colored man. was arrested
for allegedly operating a plant in
Goose Nest Township, near Oak
City. Arrested by Chief Edmond
Early, the man was tried in the
county court Monday and sentenced
to the roads for a six-months' term.
Lock was said to have been operat
ing a 50-gallon copper still when
the officer and his son, Edmond,
Jr., made the raid. The plant was
captured and three hundred gallons
of beer were poured out. Lock was
just firing up the plant when the of
ficers made the raid.
Going into the old business sec
tion of Jamesville last Wednesday
evening, Officer J. H. Roebuck found
seven pints of illegal liquor in the
store of James Gilmore. Gilmore and
his wife were carried into the coun
ty court Monday and adjudged guil
ty of illegal possession. Judge Peel
sentenced him to the roads for six
months and his wife to the county
jail for a term of 90 days. They ap
pealed.
The first raid last week by en
forcement officer and deputies was
centered in Bear Grass Township
where a complete 100-gallon capacity
copper kettle and 400 gallons of beer
were destroyed.
The officers had their big day'
last Saturday when they wrecked
a steam plant and a 50-gallon cop-1
per kettle and poured out 150 gal
lons of beer at two plants in Cross
Roads. In Bear Grass Township that
afternoon they wrecked a steam
plant and poured out 200 gallons of
beer and one-half gallon of raw li-1
quor. At the fourth plant- the offi-.
cers captured a 100-f a! on capacity
copper kettle and poured uut 400
gallons of beer and thirteen gallons
of liquor. The plant was equipped
with a complete oil burner.

wrecked a steam plant and poured
out 150 gallons of beer in Cross Roads
Township.
Another Roundup of
Drunks Ls Rej>orted
A third round-up of drunks was
reported in the county over the
week-end, local and county officers
placing five persons, including one
woman, in the county jail.
colored woman, Hattie Bullock, wan
dered around the streets until she
got tired and crawled into an offi
cer's car on the main street to rest.
She was alleged to have turned on
the lights and radio and was sitting
back enjoying a program when offi
eers found her. She was not atagger
ingly drunk, one of the night cops
said. ?
Others facing the courts for al
leged drunkenness were John Dix
on, C. P. Kapot, Kater Gardner, J.
H. Coltrain.
Nearly 20 people, charged with
public drunkenness, have been jail
ed since the Martin County grahd
jury ordered a drive against the
practice last month. Commenting
on the drive, a citizen said a few days
ago that while the law was moving
to clean out the drunks, several of;
the habituals continued to roam the
streets. I
THE RECORD
SPEAKS-.?s?^
Martin County motorists prov
ed last week that they were cap
able of meeting an aggravated
traffic problem When they came
through the holiday period with
out a single accident. Twice in a
row Martin County motorists
have observed the period of the
Glorious Fourth without inci
dent. It is true that traffic was
greatly curtailed by the unusual
ly cool weather, but even then
the road dangers were greater
If Martin County motorists
can go through a holiday period
without an accident, it would
aeem that they could lower the
number of wrecks in normal per
>odsv and they can do just that
by observing
the rules of the
road and remembering that there
are other motorists who have
some rights and who are deserv
ing every courtesy we would
want for ourselves.

Ti rnely Questions arid A nswers
On the Tobacco Referendum
Timely questions and answers hav
ing to do with the tobacco referen
dum to be held on Saturday, July
20, are submitted fur consideration
by Martin County farmers, as fol
lows:
What are the provisions for en
forcement of the marketing quotas?
The penalty on any tobacco mar
keted in excess of the farm market
ing quota is 10 cents per pound. Col
lection of penalties will begin with
the first sale of tobacco from the
farm.
There will be no transfer of mar
keting quotas among farms nor sale
of marketing cards.
If one farmer sells, or permits to
be sold, on his marketing card to-I
bacco grown on another farm, the
allotment for each farm will be re
duced in the next year by the
amount of tobacco so marketing Al
so, the farmer marketing the tobac
co becomes liable for the penalty
due thereon.
If a farmer fails to account for dis
position of any amount of his tobac
co the allotment for his farm will be
reduced in the next year by such
amount of tobacco.
If any farmer falsely identifies or
fails to account for disposition of to
bacco he becomes liable for a penal
ty of ten cents per pound of normal
production on the entire acreage
harvested in excess of the farm
acreage allotment, this penalty be
ing in addition to any other penal
ly
Adequate penalties are" provided
ifflfthe case of any warehouseman,
dealer, or buyer who fails to keep
proper records and make proper re
ports.

The new plant of the Goldman

after tomorrow, Superintendent E.
E. Bateman stating this morning that
a full production schedule would
necessarily have to await the com

According to Mr. Bateman the
Thursday schedule of operations are
designed primarily to test the ma
chines and fill a rush order for a cer
tain type of basket. The plant's steam
equipment, including boilers "unTT
several engines, was tested yester
day, Superintendent Bateman stat
ing that he was well pleased with the
operation of the first units.
In handling the main machinery
tests on Thursday of this week, no
new employees will be hardly need
ed, the superintendent explaining
that operators and assistants -would
possibly be taken for the most part
from the lust already employed. Upon
the completion-^ -in-its en
tirety within the next month, the
new enterprise will employ approx
imately 150 workers. The employ
ment list will be increased gradual
ly, the plant superintendent stating
that very few of the 346 applicants
are trained" in the operation ol the"
machines. Much time will have to
be devoted in training our workers
and making the finishing touches for
a smooth operating schedule," Mr.
Bateman said.
While preliminary tests are sched
uled for Thursday, work on the plant
will hardly be completed before the
latter part of this month, meaning
that it will be several weeks before
a full production schedule can be
effected. Work on. a. large dry kiln
and the first of several storage units
is progressing rapidly at this time.
Railroad company engineers will
start work on a siding for the plant
the early part of next week. Addi

gay representation of the flower of
[ Williams ton's social circlet. The at

'sweetened with odors of the recent
'rains making the evening pleasant.
I The house from the outside and the
; lawn were beautifully lighted with
Japanese lanterns mingled with soft
lights from the chandelier, from
within.
The young ladies present with

things, among which were salads,
chicken, potato, pickles, crackers,
olives, cream: vanilla and pineap

After appealing to owners in this

dogs vaccinated, officers today re
sorted to the law in pushing a last
round-up of dogs in the campaign
against rabies.
Three warrants are being issued
today at the direction of the sheriff's
office, and the defendants will be
brought into court within the next
few days to show good cause why
they have not vaccinated their dogs
in accordance with the terms of the !
law. There are around 25 or 30 own-1
ers who have not had their dogs vac-1
cinated, according to a preliminary
check of ownership made by the of
fice of the sheriff this week.
Those defendants who are being
called into court are facing substan
tial fines and possible road sen
tences. Last year, several defend
ants were given sentences on the
roads, the trial justices suspending
the sentences upon payment of small
fines and trial costs and with the un

The Present Time
l.i^lil Tobacco Crop Certain
\iul Corn Shortage I -
\nlicipatril
While they have not abandoned all
hope. Martin farmers are getting a
hit disheartened over the crop out
look ir'i the county at the present
time. Continued dry weather over
most of the county., as a whole, is
seriously threatening the corn crop
and making for one TTMtTe latest to
bacco harvesting seasons in years.
Immediate rains can alter the out
Idok considerably, but even with
favorable seasons from now on some
farmers declare that the corn crop
will not nioasure up to normal pro
duction The tobacco crop is already
late with hardly a dozen farmers re
porting harvesting underway. It is
possible that curing activities will
be started on a fairly sizable scale
some time next week in the coun
The cotton crop is thriving under
existing weather conditions and pea
nuts are holding *up well, but other
general crops?are suffering.?Num
bcrs of farmers state that corn tas
sels have drooped, that the blades
are drying up. They add that little
can be expected in the way of pro
duction under such conditions.
Reports, possibly a bit exagger
ated, state that the tobacco crop wiil
average hardly nyore than 200
pounds per acre on some farms, that
one of the lightest crops 111 years is
to be expected in the county, as a
whole.
Farly curings reported m ~?russ
Roads Township are of fair quality
and average weight.
Those farmers who are a bit dis
heartened by the lateness of their
tobacco crops should remember that
there have been late crops before
this year, in 1032, Farmrr John Col
train out in the Farm Life section of
Griffins Township, was curing to
bacco on September 16, and accord
ing to Mr. Coltrain the leaf brought
a tair price. Present indications point
to September tobacco curings this
season, but it is fairly certain that
most of the crop will have been har
vested by the latter part of August.
Farm* i s are heading into an unus
ually busy season, and considerable
trouble is expected from tobacco
1 wuiiiib that attack the crup m great
numbers during August.
Farmers anxiously gazed at the
scattered clouds today, but up until
three o'clock no rain had fallen
here.

The Bottle of England was believ
ed to have entered its first serious
stage today when increased attacks
were made by German forces on land
and in the air. Waves of Nazi planes
flew over England's coastal country
early today, dropping thousands of
bombs on several ports and wreck
ing at least one large oil base Re
ports stated that the war on the Brit
ish Isles was rapidly approaching a
blitzkrieg tempo British authorities,
while admitting increased fury of
German attacks, denied there was
heavy losses of life and that proper
city damage did not approximate the
startling figures claimed by German
sources.
German sea power again assert
ed itself during the past 24 hours, a
German report claiming that five
English merchant ships had been
damaged considerably, that a 11,1)00
ton naval tanker hail been sunk and
that a destroyer had been success
fully bombed. No German losses were
mentioned, and nothing was said
about raids made on Germany or its
conquered territories by members of
the Royal Air Force.
High authorities in England said
early today that the 35,000-ton
French battleship, Richelieu, had
been definitely put out of commit
sion that Hitler and his barbarian
forces would not us* n m an attack
upon the Bntish Isles. Another en
couraging feature of the sea warfare
was tin- action of French sailors in
