Williamiton, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, November 4, 1941. VOLUME XLIV?NUMBER 88 ESTABLISHED 1899 Bureau Membership In The County Only Fifty Short Of Goal Farm Security Supervisor in| Timely Address to Croup Friday Evening Reporting 950 members signed up in their 1941-42 Farm Bureau drive, canvassers last Friday evening in the agricultural building agreed to push the campaign to the 1,000 goal and report for a final tabulation of the membership on Friday of next week. Believing the goal will be reached, the membership committee discussed tentative plans for calling Ed O'Neal, president of the Ameri can Farm Bureau Federation to ad dress the annual meeting of the county unit possibly in December or January. All members of the can vassing committee who were not present for the meeting last Friday night are asked to round up their last quotas and report them at their earl ?<hi ronvfflifnff. Holding their first forum for dis-1 cussions or timely farm matters, members of the organization last | Friday heard Farm Security Super visor Tom Swain tell about the food for defense program. Mr. Swain, who has since been transferred to Halifax County, declared that the situation is far more serious than we realize. "We .have surpluses in some in stances, but there are definite short ages staring us in the face," he de clared. Stressing the importance of health as a part of the defense program, Mr. Swain cited the rejections made in the Army on account of physical de fects. He reviewed the quotas this county is being called upon to plant to important crops, and urged the farmers to cooperate with the pro gram. "Martin farmers are being asked to increase the milk supply by 175,000 pounds, or four per cent," he said, explaining that while the in crease in this county will not enter the markets, it will possibly lower the demand for canned milk which can be shipped across the ocean for use right in the thick of the fight. The government is not recommend ing the purchase of more cows now, but better care of those already in the county. It may be necessary to add a few cows to the herds, but the best solution to the problem is the raising of cows. The government is calling for 36, 580 more dozens of eggs, or about an eleven per cent increase in presenT production Better care of the flocks will turn the tide, the supervisor be lieves js Continuing, he said, "And then we are being asked to increase our pea nut and soy bean plantings by thous ands of acres, and to increase our acreage to oats. We are not being commanded to do all of this, but we have been told that such action is necessary if we are to play our part in relieving the present emergency and stalling a starvation threat." Mr. Swain pleads with all Farm | Bureau to get behind the program He believes that Martin County will | do its part and more. The Farm Security Administration in the county is already visiting its clients and outlining the program plans. Supervisor J. C. Eubanks, Mrs Henry Griffin and Mrs. Elizabeth Bradley are holding on an average two meetings each week in small community centers, preaching food for health and food for defense. The first of the meetings were held near Hassell and near Williamston last week. The farm agents are in Raleigh this week receiving instructions for carrying the plans to others in this county. Three Of County's Selectees Rejected | Three of the ten Martin County | colored selectees reporting for pos sible military service at Fort Bragg last week were rejected by the Army on account of physical de fects, according to information re ceived by the draft board this week. Jeremiah Brown, of Williamston R. F D. 1; Willie Grover Mason, of Williamston 1} F. D. 2, and Woodrow Marrow, of Hobgood R. F. D. 1, have returned following a skirmish with the armed forces of the nation at the Fort Bragg induction center. A call for eleven colored selectees was received in the county a few days ago. They are to report for pos sible military service on December 5th. No November quota was assign ed this county for either white orl colored trainees, and no white youths | have been called for December. Man Jailed For Alleged Theft Attempt Saturday Edward Johnson, 35-year-old col ored man, who gave his home ad dress as Wilson, was lodged in the county jail late Saturday night for allegedly attempting to steal J. C. Kirkman's car in Jamesville. Johnson, not knowing all the gadgets, accidentally sounded the hom while fingering for the switch. The noise attracted Mr. Kirkman's attention, and arming himself he went to the car and ordered the man to back up to a tree where he held him at bay with a shotgun until Sheriff Roebuck could go and get him. Sheriff Takes hi Two Million And Quits As Tax Collector Taking over the duties of county tax collector when he succeeded his late father as sheriff in June, 1929, Sheriff C. B. Roebuck yesterday af ternoon, after taking in some over two million dollars during those 12 years, settled up with the county commissioners to the last penny and withdrew from the office of collect or of real and personal property taxes. The books go to Tax Collector M. L. Peel who will continue collec tions for the year 1940 and make! ready within the next 18 months to j transfer title to those properties upon i wmcn ne taxes have not been paid. Holding his tax sale at the court house door at noon Monday, the sher iff reported only four individual sales, the purchasers in those cases acting to protect their equities. The other accounts were bid in by the county. Scheduled to surrender the duties as county tax collector. Sher iff C. B. Roebuck had the auditors check the books immediately after' the sale was made and the money in the bank to settle up his account to the penny with the commissioners. The final report shows that $6, 849.52 is represented in land sales, and $5,808.17 in insolvent accounts, leaving a balance of $2,053.81 which the sheriff paid by check to complete the transaction. Sheriff Roebuck ex plained that the insolvent list was about $2,400 less than it was last year, that much of the $5,808.17 was traceable to dead accounts; that is, accounts belonging to dead men or men who had moved from the coun ty. and whose names had been brought forward on the tax books. He also pointed out that quite a few of the soldier boys still owed a few dol lars, that the insolvent list sounds really larger than it is. The settlement was accepted with out question, and marks the end of a tax collection period in which ev ery penny of the taxpayers' money has been accounted for and distrib uted to the several departments. Peele's Resignation Is Held In Abeyanee PRODUCTION A report comlnc from the pro duction unit of the Martin Coun ty Chapter of the Red Cross to day carried a bright spot, but the chairman, Mrs. A. R. Dunning, stated that the knitting sched ule was lagging badly. Knitters are urged to respond to the call, Mrs. Dunning stating that the material may be bad at the Wo man's Club each Tuesday and Friday or she would up request deliver the material In person. The sewing project is just about to go ahead of schedule, the chairman stating that seam stresses In the rural communi ties were doing an effective work and that more townswo men were participating In the program now. Library Will Hold Open House Friday Night, November 7 * Window Display Is Planned Here in Connection with Book Week By MRS. IRIS COOKE, Librarian Book Week as a national organiza tion was started 23 years ago in 1919 chiefly as a result of the work of Franklin Mathiews, Chief Scout Li brarian, who spoke before the con vention of the American Booksellers Association. The result of his urging was a resolution "to organize a na tional campaign to arouse public in terest in more and better books for children." From 1919-23 the slogan, "More Books in the Home," was to empha size the importance of books owned by the children themselves and to The 1941 theme to be observed No vember 2-8, is "Forward with Books," which may have many adaptations centered chiefly on pa triotism. I The local public library will have around 50 new books and a window display of children's books in the Economy Auto Supply store. Posters advertising Public Library Day, No vember 7th, will be in evidence. Open House in the library, mayor's office, and police department will be held from 8-10 o'clock Friday eve ning. Coming as a climax of the observ ances of the week will be the first offering of a new regular service by the library. Beginning on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, Miss Bernlce [Ward will hold a Story Hour for the pre-school children whose ages start at three. At 11 o'clock children in the first three grades of school are in vited. After the stories, books may be examined and taken home until the next story hour which will oc cur the following Saturday morning. Parents are invited to send their children so they might go "Forward with Books." NAVY CALL Those young men. white and colored, who are in line for def inite assignments under the Army draft may choose their own Jobs by Joining the Navy which is offering Instruction In a varied list of subjects Includ ing photography.

Ordinances Punned to Control Kiryelen ami Kirenork* In Business District In a two-hour session, their regu lar one of the month, the local town commissioners held in abeyance the resignation tendered by Commis sioner M. Luther Peel, took action in several instances for the control and use of bicycles and fireworks in the business district and discussed a varied list of topics, including park ing and back-lot lighting. The acceptance oI Commissioner Peel's resignation was delayed pend ing a ruling by the attorney general on double office holding. It was fair ly evident from a ruling handed down a short time ago that the com missioner could not continue as a member of the board and serve as county tax collector However, the act creating the office of the tax col lector makes a provision for the tax collector to hold an elective office. The validity of that section of the law is to be determined or rejected by the office of the attorney general. Until the ruling is received, Mr Peel will continue as a member of the board Tentative plans for improving the local parking congestion were vir tually abandoned when it was point ed out that municipalities were being asked to curb their light expansion programs, and there was some doubt about the feasibility of lighting the backlots for night parking Cost esti mates will be asked, possibly, but the parking situation will hardly be changed right away. The commis sioners did consider parking limits for local auto owners, but the pro posal will be placed on a voluntary basis to start with Merchants and clerks will be asked to leave their cars at home or park them off the streets Again the commissioners admitted (Continued on page six) 1f>- ????? Prominent Farmer Passes In County Levi Davis, prominent farmer and well-known citizen of Jamesville Township, died at his home near Jamesville on Highway 64 last Sun day evening at 9:30 o'clock following a long period of declining health. A supporter of worth-while under takings including religious and civic activities, Mr Davis was held in high esteem by his fellowman. While he never pushed himself forward, Mr. Davis could be counted on at all times to support the school and lend a helping hand to his fellowman. Following the untimely death of a young son about a year ago, Mr. Da vis had failed rapidly. He was a na tive of Jamesville Township where he spent his entire life living peace ably with his neighbors, and where he enjoyed a large friendship.

REMEMBRANCES By CHAS. SMALLWOOD Williamston, N. C. DURING 1870's and Wi Young men of the town, beyond school age. but not yet launched into businesses of their own. leading the carefree life of clerk-ships, etc., were many; a few to be mentioned at this time being: Will and Sam Ellison. Will and Jim Carstarphen, Joe Lan ier. Joe Everett, Walter demons. Will and John Harrell, Jim Rober son. Wigg Watts, Joe Godard. and Lon Gardner. Henry Williams "dick ered" with mule-trading; Bill Cher ry was chief public hauler; Cliff Bland was a greater river-fisherman. Many times r have seen him come trudging up Main Street from the river, a canoe paddle across one shoulder, a sturgeon hung there-to, winch was so large and long that its tail would be dragging the ground He would dress, carve and weigh it out to ready customers, and then was the day that most of Williamston feasted on sturgeon steak or stew These were the days when the rail road came. down frum Tarboro. Old Negroes used to tell me of "what-all happened when we-all heard de yankeys was cummin'," but I was to actually experience the thrill of hearing "the railroad was coming." It finally arrived, and built its first depot (a board platform) where it crossed Smithwick Street, and just halt a block from where I lived at Sister Sallie's, and from the porch I would watch or join all the town as it went down daily "to see the train come in." a custom which was partially continued until automobiles made train-comings uninteresting. Captain John Cotton (afterwards, General Cotton, of the State Guards) was first conductor, and which cre ated him an all-important person age. It was while the railroad was building from town to the river that Mr. Everett, six or seven miles up the line, decided he wished a side track, or switch, from the road where it passed his house, so, standing-in with some of the road foremen, he got them to herdle a work-crew one Sunday, load them aboard a flat-car, and the engine pulled them up to his place where they "put in" the switch and that was the day the present city of Everetts was "born." 1. with some other boys and young men, scrambled aboard too, and were present at the "horning." I think Mr. Everett spread a feast for the nota hles of the party, hut 1 happened nol to be noticeable and feasted on the glory of the day only. The advent of the railroad must have encouraged the advent of the telegraph also, for soon after the one, came the other. ?... The first telegraph office consist ed of a table, a keyboard and an op erator, located in a corner of J D. Biggs and Co s office. The operator was one Charlie Watson, a curly headed youngster, who at once be came the "wonder-man" amongst us. He was also a wonder to Mr. Walter Hassell, who took him to board, and who became much concerned less New Town's undertaker get him from the effects of starvation. Mr. Hassell said nothing in the world was?sufficiently?appetising?as?lo calise him to want to eat That the only thing he fould imagine he was existing upon'might be the ticks emenating from his occupation. Any way, about all he did a I, the dining table was to sit down and get up. the dining table of my own board ing house in Birmingham, Ala., and was introduced to a Mr. Watson, sit ting next seat. I remarked that I had known a Charley Watson in Williamston, N. C., and that the pres ent, reminded me a little of him ex cept that "he present" seemed to have an appetite, but no curly hair, while reverses were the case with the other. "He present" said?Well, I'm the fellow When I found my appetite, my hair stopped kinking. And that is the last I ever saw of Wiiliamston's first telegraph operator.

May it light the paths of the peo ple of this town and community in pursuit of justice, peace and truth. J. L HASSELL, Mayor. Name Wheeler Martin Assistant Prosecutor Sheriff Makes Final Tax Settlement with County Authorities Tax Relief Order* Take Up| Much Time of Coiiuiii* ttioner* Monday Attorney Wheeler Martin was ap-1 pointed assistant solicitor of the re corder's court by the Martin County I commissioners in regular session | here yesterday. The action was tak en at the request of Solicitor Don E. Johnson who is now engaged in spec ial defense studies at State College and who explained to the board that he did not know when he would be able to return to handle the work The appointment, effective at once, runs until January 1. Solicitor John son was at the prosecutor's table in the county court Monday. The pros ecutor's life is very much up in the air at the present time. He doesn't know whether he'll be back home January 1, or whether he'll be doing special defense work in Diesel en gineering or in the Army ranks. He is hoping that it will be possible for him to return home. The regular monthly meeting of the county commissioners heard a great deal about tax relief orders, but the high spot came late in the afternoon when Sheriff C. B. Roe buck effected final settlement for the 1940 taxes and when he was re lieved of the collection of all real and personal property tax collec tions. The sheriff explained that most of the insolvent list was trace able to men who had left the coun ty but whose names had been brought forward by the list-takers year after year. "And then there are several hundred taxpayers in the Army from this county," the sher iff added. The business of transfer ring names on the tax books year after year was virtually discarded this year, and other things being equal the insolvent list for 1941 should not be as large as it was this year. The unpaid amount this year was several thousand dollars less than H was a year ago, a favoratjte fall having made itself felt in the tax collector's office. The old 1940 books and tax sale certificates are now in the hands of the regular tax collect or. M L Peel. He will continue to collect those accounts along with the ones for 1941 and take legal ac - tion within a specified time to trans fer title of properties. Julius I). Hardison, the old sage of Williams Township, appeared before the board and walked away with a tax relief order relieving him of pay ment of taxes on fifty acres of woods land listed in error. A relief order was issued to the Roanoke Railroad and Lumber Com pany for taxes in the sum of $206 levied in error against its holdings Sarah O. Cherry was relieved of ? payment of taxes on a lot in Wil liamston for $150, the complainant showing that the listing was in er ror. The board agreed to employ a jani tural building, the order creating the services of a special man limiting the salary to $40 a month. J D. Gurganus, of Bear Grass, was exempted from poll tax for 1941 and future years on account of disabil ity An order was issued directing the tax authorities to issue written or ders for tax advertising notices for publication. Mrs. Delia Anderson Passes In the County Mrs. Delia Bennett Anderson, aged And respected county citizen, died at the home of her sister, Mrs Dorcas Lassiter in Poplar Point Township last Friday following a short illness She was US years old, but despite her advanced age she was unusually ac tive up until a short time before her death. The daughter of the late James Thomas and Anna Whitley Bennett, Mrs. Anderson was bom in this county near Williamzton. She spent her early life in this section and when a young woman married Geo Anderson. Following her marriage she made her home in Plymouth, la ter going to Craven County where Mr. Anderson wag employed by the railroad. Following his death about 1603 she made her home with a son in New Bern, moving back to this county about IS years ago. She is survived by two sons, Wil liam Anderson, of Hopewell, and Mai shall Anderson, of New Bern. She also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Dorcas Lassiter with whom she made her home; Mrs. Lydia Pierce, of Pop lar Point ,and Mrs. Florence Ed wards, of Williamston, and a brother, Joe F. Bennett, of Poplar Point. Funeral services were conducted at the late home Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Elder B. S. Cowin. Interment was in the Spring Green Church Cemetery. NO INSTRUCTIONS Instructions for curtailing the use of power and light in this district have not been received, power company officials stating that they are not certain what course to follow until they have written orders determining fu ture action. Expressing a will ingness to cooperate in any and every way possible with defense. Manager f.oodmon said he had not been instructed to discon tinue service in any case where ! the consumer refused or failed to cut out street signs or window lights. It is understood that the VEP Company is now sending JO mil lion kilowatt hours to the Caro lina Power Company each 1 month.that while more power is possibly available, it cannot be j transmitted over the present wire hook-up. It is quite likely that local people will be asked to curtail their light and power usage, and it has been pointed out that such action would, at least, show a cooperative spirit. Rev.

Nor will anyone deny the faet even I Christian people need to form con | vlctions that arc stable and enduring about God.
