ESTABLISHED 18'W Eighteen Cases In The County Court At Monday Session Defendant Allowed Credit for First Time By Judge W. H. Coburn After working late into the noon hour. Judge W. H. Coburn left the docket a bit congested at the last Monday session of the county re corder's court Several cases were continued for defense counsel who were necessarily absent. The docket presented Judge Coburn with sev eral problems in meting out jus tice, and when the court was ad journed little had been accom plished . Costs in two minor cases were collected, the judge extending credit in a third for the first time since he took the bench the first of this month Advised that one of his defendants was the unmarried mother of two small children and that she was an expectant mother now. Judge Co burn temepered justice with mercy and placed a girl barely 17 years of age on probation. It is such cases as these that have plagued the court in recent years, and the problem is becoming more perplexing. While members of the colored race appear in court more often than the whites, both races are coming into the court in greater numbers as the months pass. Proceedings: Adjudged guilty over his own plea of innocence, Johnnie Peel, charged with non-support, was sentenced to the roads for six months, the court suspending judgment upon condi tion that he pay $5 a month during the next six months to his child, pay the cases costs and reappear at the end of six months for further judgmeflt. Booker T Bradley, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, failed to answer when called and papers were issued for his arrest. For the first time in recent months a defendant charged with drunken driving was sentenced to the roads for a period of three months and had his license revoked for five years. Charged with disorderly conduct and an assault with a deadly weap on, Ernest Dean Edmondson plead ed guilty of simple assault. The plea was accepted and the court suspended judgment upon payment of the costs. Isaac Ampey, who holds a record for appearance in the courts of this county, pleaded not guilty in the case charging him with assaulting a woman and with an assault with a deadly weapon. He was adjudged guilty, the court fining him $15 and taxing him with the costs. Ampey was given until the last Monday in this month to pay. Pleading guilty of simple assault in the case charging him with an assault with a deadly weapon, Gus Bryant was dismissed upon condi tion that he pay the case costs. Charged with shoplifting in a Williams ton store, Mary Gladys An thony was sentenced to jail for two months, the sentence to begin at the direction of the court at any time within the next two years. The girl was first sentenced to jail for thirty days, but Judge Coburn sns - pended it when he learned that the defendant was the rpother of two small children who had no one to look after them. The case charging West Moore with an assault with a deadly wea pon was nolprossed. Charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, Joe James was sen tenced to the roads for a term of eight months. He is to work at the county home under the direction of Superintendent Bland. Charged with violating the liquor laws, Calvin Northern was sentenc ed to the roads for two months, the sentence to begin at the direction of the court at any time within the next two years. The judgment was sus pended on condition that he be of good behavior and be a law-abiding citizen.

Saitl To lit' I'Ihii ninp'aii Offt'imitt' \^ain-l (Jri't'k* in AIItiniin In one of the most daring feats of the war. British warships and de stroyers entered the Adriatic Sea early today and almost wrecked the seaport of Valona, important Ital ian base in Albania. Going into the very backyard of an Italian strong hold. the British ships encountered no direct opposition, the Italian navy remaining out of sight. Nothing was heard from the strong land batter ies manned by the Italians. Tin- Brit ish are said to have fired more than 100 tons of shells into Valona Fol lowing the sea raid. British planes flew over and bombed the town. Despite the successful attack stag ed by the British, reports now indi cate that Hitler is going to the aid of his old pal, Mussolini. An attack by German forces through the north of Albania to attempt to cut the Greeks off is being rumoreck Ger man airships have been in action ov er Albania during recent hours, but the whereabouts of all the Italian planes continues a dark mystery. Germany says she will not send troops into Albania, that she will aid Mussolini in his costly Albanian campaign by transporting Italian soldiers into the subjected eountiy by airplane. However, late reports state that German troops are al ready concentrated in Italy in large numbers, and that Hitler is planning to send large numbers of his men across France whether France likes it or not. The effect of the British bombardment of Valona has not been measured, and it is possible that Hit ler will be too late in saving Musso lini's men in Albania. Kngland is continuing its blitz krieg against the Italians in Africa. The British forces have pushed 175 miles into Italian territory, and late reports state that important bases have fallen in Libya and that the Italians have been cut off in re treat. Another invasion attempt is being rumored in England, and during re cent days heavy air attacks have been directed on the Channel ports. In the Far East, Japan is raising its voices again. Angered by recent movements of the United States Navy, Japan is now pledging great er cooperation to Hitler. In this country, President Roose velt is meeting with members of the Defense Commission to discuss the problem with the aim of speeding up the armament program.

Telling Blow Dealt The Illicit Liquor Traffic In Countv Officer* Round Up Twenty Two Still* and Pour Out I 1,1150 Gallon* of Beer The illicit liquor traffic is facing the holiday season trade badly crip pled. according to a report filed to day hv Alcoholic Beverages Control Board Officer J. 11 Roebuck. After dealing the business a telling blow last month when 26 illicit stills were wrecked and 9.600 gallons of beer were poured out. the officers have followed up their work to virtually wipe out the industry in most sec tions of the county. The officers are so well up with their work that owners have actual ly had no time to operate their a 100-gallon capacity kettle care fully and well bricked in. was wrecked yesterday in Bear Grass Township before it could be placed in actual operation "As far as we are able to learn there isn't a still in operation m that district at this time," Officer Roebuck said follow ing the raid yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the day yesterday,1 the A BC. officer, assisted by Julian Roebuck, Pitt County A.B.C. officers, McDuffy, Ward. Taylor and Harris, wrecked a 50-gallon capacity copper kettle along the Martin-Pitt boun dary in Robersonville Township. The raiders poured out 1.0011 gallons f beer at the two plants Up until last evening, the officers had wrecked during December twen ty-two plants in this county, pour ing out 11,050 gallons of beer and sixteen gallons of white lightning. One arrest was effected during that time. Walter Pierce was charged with violating the liquor laws. During the current week, the of ficers have wrecked six stills and poured out 2.750 gallons of bber. It is Officer Roebuck's belief that less illegal liquor will be consumed in the county this holiday season than m any similar period during recent years The campaign against tin* traffic has been directed in nearly all parts of the county, one report stating that the officers are invading a last township m the county today, ? Punch Boards And Slots Disappear Hooding a warning unofficially issued a few days ago, owners of slot machines and punchboards moved the gambling devices out of the county almost over night, according to a report coming from the office of the sheriff lieie today Owners of the slots ancT boards are said to have made special trips over the county to pick them up ahead of the State Bureau of Inves tigation representatives who arc making an inspection tour of the State noting alleged violations of the gambling laws. Alleged violators will be cited direct to the grand jury in the respective counties The next term of superior court in this coun ty will not convene until March and it cannot bo learned until Uumi ii any Charges will be brought in this coun ty under the slot machine law Sheriff Roebuck stated that morn ing that he was certain all slot ma chines had been removed and that there were few or no punchboards openly displayed.

P. Hall was of the opinion that the damage to tal would hardly exceed $25. An attendant was burning some trash in a barbecue pit fireplace and accidentally knocked over a can of kerosene. The flames lapped the ceil ing and charred the timbers, send ing large volumes of smoke through the windows Fire blazed out of the chimney for five or more feet dur ing several minutes. The fire was almost brought under control by the time the fire-fighting apparatus reached the scene, but flared up again.

However, no immed iate call is contemplated and when the next call rs made it is Iwlieved that it will not be necessary to call on draftees as the number of volun teers will likely be sufficient to fill the quota. It has been estimated, unofficially, that Martin County will be called on for about sixteen men on January 6th So far the Martin County Draft Board has classified* 400 registrants The reserve of available manpower is now considered sufficient to meet the next several calls and the Draft Board is slowing down its work No questionnaires have been mailed since December 0.

Officials F o recast Unsettled leather For ( oast a I league J. KiiM.il Lillry I? Definitely \\ iilnlraw ini: President Of the Loral Club Bast-ball in Ihe Coastal Plain I.caguc is in the air, reports from the annual meeting of the league offi rials in Greenville last evening in [heating that the sport will be re tained in the circuit only by a hard struggle. The Aoys back home who tangle with (Tie financing problem are forecasting stormy weather, but in the. cloud is a silver lining. And there may be baseball in the league, after all In fact it's fairly certain that the loop will function, but its dub face might be altered As far as it could be learned at the meeting last night, Wilson, Km - .Inn anil (iroi'ijkillo ai-eioudy to put up their $t>00 forfeit deposit Tar hoi,I. New Hern and C.oldsboro are struggling along with some degree d hope for retaining their club franchise Snow Hill was not rep resented at the meeting, and just what the club will do there is not yet known Williamston, still hope ful for baseball, has got to start from scratch, Mr J F.ason Lalley stating definitely that he could not operate the club another season The towns have until February 4 to put up their forfeit deposit, and the meeting ruled last night that would he the deadline for retaining 1941 [i alii hi5rs. ? It whs explained at the meeting last night that Kooky Mount was interested m baseball, that, possibly fans there would consider organiz nig a C elass league ur ask for en trains- into the Coastal loop. Other towns are also interested, accord ing to the annual report filed by la-ague President 11 II Cjoodmon. While the league's club line-up is not definite, the directors last night m Orcein tile considered plans for operating the league next season The playing time has been reduced I rum 128 to 112 days, the season to I,pelt on May 15 and close on Sep ti mber 4th An established agency will lie employed to handle the league statistics A new admission price schedule was given considerable study, and the officials arc of the opinion that it will solve the financial problem in part, at least, for some of the clubs It was proposed to issue mem heiship tickets for $5 which with 20 cents will admit any person into any park during the regular play n,g season, excepting the all star and Julv 4 games With a curtailed schedule and a tentative agreement to limit spring practice to ten days, the heads of the "struggling" clubs believe they can sell enough of the special membership tickets to fi nance ihcn jelmir during Ihe eaily part of the season, including the spring training period There was much interest shown in th, spurt by the eluh representa tives during a five-hour discussion that waxed warm at times. All of the officials were anxious lo see the I, ague hold its present shape with pus.- ibly an addition of two towns. Frankly speaking. Williamston has a doubtful standing in the league l,,i i?i41 Unless someone takes ov , , ihe I III -e ol s'llue IIIUVl'IIIWll is udvimeed to operate the club by local citizens, the game here is lost Jus, ??w it is believed that Wil liamslon's chances for baseball are unusually slim It would appear that the final analysis, Williamston and possibly one other town in the circuit Will surrender their fran fhise. ? ?
