After a stay in New York he moved to Massa^ chusetts and soon went on the road | as a salesman for a northern manu facturer His business brought him to the South.

He was always ready to accommo date his <dlowman and lend his bit in the support of his community^ Mr. Ramey was recognized as a good c,'~ lzen in the community. In all kinds of weather he proved dependable in his work as an officer and he seemed to find pleasure ?uard ing the property rights and lives of others through the long cold nights week after week and year after vear His service was unselfish for ne worked at times for little remun eration. and us the end approached |,e continued at his post of duty un til forced to his home late Saturday afternoon. .

Fluctuations In Price Of Liquor ? ?For Vhe second time in a mnnth, the price of liquor is fluctuating with a growing demand for added reve nue by governmental agencies and a renewed cry for cheaper liquors by the consumers. Hie federal govern ment scored a hit on July 1 when prices were upped from 10 to IS cents for each plot. Now. the con sumer is to receive a break in the price fixing, reports from Raleigh stating that the State Liquor Board had ordered a reduction. The order coming from the State authorities who fix the price sched ules without consulting the county units, will effect reductions in prof its accruing to the counties and towns, but will affect very little the handsome profits now pouring into the State treasury. ? The huge task of checking com pliance under the agricultural pro gram is nearing completion on the farms of this county. Scattered Rains Offer Slight Relief From Sweltering Heat Scattered showers, falling late Sunday night and again last night, brought slight relief from the swel tering heat wave that had held this section in its grip for ten days. Tem peratures while ranging above nor mal by several degrees have been lower during yesterday and today than at any time since week before last when the heat wave struck and sent the mercury well above the 100 mark. During nine straight days, the mercury went above 100. reaching a climax at 103 degrees the early part of last week. The slight relief found a section about whipped. Activities on every front were geared down, and even suit of the intensive heat. Thermom eter readings as high as 125 degrees were reported in the sun. At noon today the mercury stood at 93 de grees, or about 6 below the average for the past week. Disappointment was fairly gener al following thunder storms that swept over this section and left lit tle rain during the past two nights. Medium rainfall was reported in several communities either on Sun day or Monday night, but the clouds passed around fairly large areas, leaving crops at the mercy of the continued heat and dry spell. In those communities where rain fell Sunday night, crops were said to be looking very well today, but the outlook, as a whole, is not as encouraging as it was a few days ago. Tobacco is wilting, some far mers stating that the leaves on quite a lew stalks had flopped. The weathermen are still not very encouraging, but a change in the weather is now promised by the lat ter part of the week. County Liquor Sales Continue To Increase UNUSUAL The unusual in merchandis ing took place here last Satur day when the mercury was push lng its way ahead or the 100 mark. Rev. Jack Vinson, coun ty Presbyterian minister, bought a nice overcoat from Margolis Brothers, local merchants. It was a timely purchase as the minister is leaving shortly for China mission field where overcoats are needed. The item is one In a long list Mr. Vinson is gathering beforr he starts the long trek over the country and on across the Pacific. Hot Weather Takes Hundreds Of Lives During Past Week Many Prostrated by Contin ihm! Heat Wave; AnimaU Die Here .Saturday $ The death toll mounted, additional thousands were prostrated and ani mal life suffered as one of the most severe heat waves on record contin ued to hold this section in its gup over the week-end. Seriously menacing the health of humans and animals in its begin ning, the hot weather seemed to have reached even more serious pro portion in this immediate section last week-end when animals dropped dead and numerous calls were mode for doctors by prostrated heat vic tims. However, up until late yester day only one death in this county was attributable directly or indirect ly to the hot weather. A colored child was drowned a week ago in Gard ner's Creek while trying to escape the heat. The nation's death toll from the wave steadily climbed toward the 1,000 mark last week-end when hundreds either drowned or died di rectly from the piercing heat. Suf fering was great, and thousands upon thousands of people sought avenues of escape. Record activities were re ported by the beaches and pools, and air-conditioned amusement houses were fairly crowded.

Local Happenings 46 Years Ago in the Martin County Sun From a scrapbook kept by Mrs. C. D. Carstarphen and her mother, the following items are copied as they appeared in H. J. Herrick's "Martin County Sun," a newspaper publish ed here in 1894: "A LUNG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS' Incidents that led up to the saying that has become famous, from the St. Louis Star. Every man in the United States is supposed to know what the "Gover nor of North' Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina." but possibly some do not know when and| under what circumstances the fam ous remark was made. Nearly a cen tury ago a man prominent in politi cal affairs in North Carolina moved across the border and settled in South Carolina He had been there only u| short time when he committed some small crime or misdemeanor, for which he was indicted. To escape arrest he returned to his old home in North Carolina. In due course of time the Govemur of South Carolina issued his requisition on the Gov ernor of North Carolina fot the fug itive criminal. The fugitive had rich and influ- I ential friends in his native state, and they interceded with the Governor until he refused to grant the requisi tion A long official correspondence I followed. Prominent men in South I Carolina told the Governor that he had not been treated with proper of ficial courtesy by the Governor of ] North Carolina The result was that j the South Carolina Governor, ac companied by a large party of friends and advisers journeyed by stage to Raleigh, the capital of North Caro lina. for a conference about the mat ter of giving up the criminal. The Governor of North Carolina, with a large party of distinguished friends met the Governor of South Carolina) several miles from town, and escort ed them to the Governor's mansion with all the ceremony due such dis tinguished Visitors. Before the ob ject of the visit was stated the en tire party sat down to un eluborate dinner. After dmner, wine was serv? the applejack for which the Old ^ North State is famous. After many rounds of drinks the decanters and glasses were removed, and the Governor of South Carolina stated the object of his visit. He de manded the surrender of the fugi tive criminal. The Governor of North Carolina refused Then followed a long and heated discussion, in which the Attorney Generals Of the two states took un active part. Finally the Governor of South Carolina grew ungiy, and rising to his feet, suid: "Sir, you have refused my just de mand and offended the dignity of my office and my State Unless you at once surrender the prisoner I will return to my capital, call out the militia of the State, and returning with my army, I will take* the fugi tive by force of arms. Governor, what do you say?" All eyes were turned on the Gov f nor of North Carolina, and his answer was awaited with breathless interest. The Governor slowly rose to his feet and beckoned to a ser vant who stood some distance away His beckoning was firm and digni fied as became his position. He was slow about answering, and again the Governor of South Carolina demand ed, "What do you say?" "I say, Governor, that it's a long time between drinks." The reply restored good humor. Decanters and glasses were brought out again, and while the visitors .re.-., mained, if any one attempted to re fer In the Hiplnmntir object of the visit he was cut short by the remark that it was a long time between drinks When the visiting Governor was ready to return home he was escorted to the State line by the Governor of North Carolina, and they parted the best of friends TTie fugitive was never surrender ed. Officers Attack Liquor Traffic Public drunkenness was on the de cline here last week-end following a blitzkrieg directed against the il licit liquor traffic by local and coun Searching just off Sycamore Street local officers, headed by Lieutenant J. H. Allsbrooks, found four gallons of fresh liquor stored in the bushes by the owner who apparently an ticipated a thriving business over the week-end. Ownership could not be determined. ABC and county officers upset the retail trade when they raided the Davis premises on the Jamrsvitte Road and charged Annie Davis with violating the liquor laws. Locating a table under a tree in the backyard, the defendant was alleged to have served liquor and lemonade. As the officers appeared, the defendant threw the liquor from a large stew pan and Louis Brown was saturated. The defendant was greatly excited, and in the county court yesterday she r'radrd guilty Later that day the officers raided retail headquarters on Railroad Street, but the handlers evaded ar rest by pouring the small stock in to a tub of disinfectant. Invasion of England Thought Near at Hand Savage Attacks On British Coast Are Now Taking Place Kcoiiomif War BcIhccii Ger many Anil II. S. U Well Unilerwav ? : Directing the tnoit in tensive air attack of the wai uir coastal Britain today. Hitter is now believed to be making ready for an attempted in vasion of Britain. The attack was centered on Dover just across the Channel from France, observers be lieving that Germany would at tempt to land its invading hordes there. In support of this belief, re ports coming out of France main tained that German forces were moving in great numbers in the con quered territory from Dunkirk to Brest, the piove constituting a part of gigantic preparations for the pos sible attack on England England's invasion has been "just around the corner" for several weeks and some believe that an invasion is impossible. The record to date shows that Hitler has attempted the "impossible" and accomplished the "impossible". Only an attempt will prove his power to advance his lat est plan of attack. It is reasonable to believe, however, that if Hitler attempts to invade England he holds the idea that he will succeed. Rail transportation in France has been Interrupted presumably by large troop movements This would indicate that Hitler still entertains a plan of invasion. It is also appar ent that he is making every effort to blocade the Isles, recent claims maintaining that 200.000 tons of British shipping had been sunk in Tbe past three days. Germany's intensified air raids, while causing much damamAand in flicting mnny rnniialtii-s ;imtiny \\m* civilian population* were costly with in themselves, the English airmen shooting dowp 23 of 100 planes mak ing the mass attack early today. A1 though in direct line of attack, many of Dover's 40,000 people remained OUt of bomb shelters to sec the dog fight in the air. They counted the German planes, several of which were shattered when thell bomb cargoes were hit and caused to ex plode. Italy hroke into the limelight after a general holiday yesterday, and claimed damaging attacks had been made on British ships in the Med iterranean. The situation in Japan is growing tense, Japanese authorities ordering the arrest of more than 500 British pupils and instructors. The arrests Avert? made as a part of a drive against a wide spy plot allegedly carried ori by England'. As the Fan American conference straws, to a-close in -Havana today it is apparent that some good has been accomplished that will prove disap pointing to Germany. However, there WaS Ittilntt dilution, and all i* not well in this hemispherr Little has been said about it but the United States and Germany are rapidly locking horns in an econom ic war. Supplies needed by Germany in prosecuting the war are being cut off in their entirety, and the United States is checking the flow I of dollars into conquered territory lo-lrppp them out of th?? hands of Germany. The battle of economics is expected to have a ti lling effect, The Japanese situation is believed to be well in hand now. The Japanese can either play ball or fight, and if they choose to fight they will be at a disadvantage because the Axis powers are blocked off and can of fer little or Jip aid. If England can hold out and keep an eye on the Atlantic, the United Stales can more than take care of tin situation in the Pacific just now. On the home front, the conscrip tion bill has been temporarily placed aside, but there is a dc< ided move noticeable day by day in the direc tion of a greater defense program I, Jamesvillc Church To Hold Meeting The Jamesville Primitive Haptiat Church ia making extensive prep aration! for entertaining large num bers of friends and visitors at the yearly meeting to be held there op Sunday of this week.
