Court Grants Eight
Divorces In County
Yesterday Morning
Plaintiff Seeks To Have Will
Set Aside in Court
Here Todav
?
Opening a two weeks term for the
trial of civil cases only, the Martin
County Superior Court with Judge
Richard D. Dixon on the bench
cranked up its divorce mill here yes
terday morning and turned out eight
divorces in less than 45 minutes. All
of the actions were based on two
years of separation and none was
contested. Hie court machinery turn
ed out the divorces just as a factory
turns out^a certain type of article ev
ery so many minutes. Today the
court is working on the Rogers will
case, the plaintiff, W. H. Rogers al
leging that undue influence was ex
ercised on his mother in the prepara
tion of her will. Most of the day and
possibly part of tomorrow will be
spent hearing the evidence and ar
gument, and it is expected the court
will recess for the week following
the completion of the case. Work
will be resumed according to sched
ule next Monday.
Proceedings in the court:
Divorces were granted to the fol
lowing:
S. E. Sprague against Helena S.
Sprague.
Queenie Minor against Andrew
Minor.
Lillian Mae Coltrain against J. Da
vid Coltrain.
R. E. Beal against Nellie Smith

Joseph H. Lilley against Ethel
Mae Lilley.
Paul Cherry against Fannie Cher

Two of the plaintiffs were color

Short Gas Rations
For Many Truckers
No general survey could be made,
but according to widely scattered
reports coming from truck owners in
various parts of the county, short gas
rations will be the order of the day
on and after December 1.
The rations, fixed and allotted by
the National Office of Defense
Transportation, are far below the
amounts asked for in the applica
tions for Certificates of War Neces
sity in every case so far brought to
light in this county.
Asking for gas to travel about 12,
000 miles, one Martin County farmer
was allotted barely enough gas to
run his truck 4,000 miles. Some truck
operators, including a milk distribu
tor, had their allotments reduced as
much as two-thirds of the amount
applied for. Few have gotten more
than two-thirds of the amount ask
ed for, it was learned.
As far as it could be learned here
there is no provision for appeals, but
there may be some plan made known
whereby the trucker can present his
case. As it stands now. the trucker
will have to get along with the
amount allotted him. If it is impos
sible for him to continue operation
with the allotment, then it is likely
that he'll have to discontinue opera
tions. It has been said that Ameri
cans have not yet learned how to
practice ingenuity fairly and square
ly in solving a problem, but the new
gas rationing system is likely to
start many people riding with one
another and limiting travel to a
bare minimum.
Union Thanksgiving Service

Military Succeaaea Depend on
Unbroken Line of Sup
ply and Support
The recent triphammer blows at
the Axis? by the United States
fleet in the Solomons and by the Al
lies in North Africa?again under
line the immense value of unbroken
lines of supply and support extend
ing from the war plants clear to the
fighting fronts. In both these large
scale operations there were lines of
support which played a vital part in
the outcome. In the Pacific area.
General MacArthur's planes damag
ed Jap naval concentrations in sup
port of the Solomons action. In
North Africa, invaluable aid came
from French sympathizers who help
ed pave the way for the American
landing.
These (lines of support) to our ac
tive battle-fronts involve more than
military actions. In one sense they
include the sustaining morale of the
entire civilian population at home.
And civilian morale is more than
war enthusasm?with which it is of
ten identified?more than satisfac
tion in victories and praise of mili
tary heroes, more even than buying

CenU willi a Premium
For Some Sale*
Peanut sales on the local market
approached a peak for the season
yesterday when an estimated 12,000 i
bags of the goobers were delivered
to buyers and cleaners. Previous de-1
liveries had not exceeded 10,000 bags !
daily, according to the best estimates
to be had here.
Holding to a somewhat "shaky"
seven-cent figure last week, the
market reflected a stronger under
tone yesterday with a few sales go-!
ing for $7.15 per hundred. A seven
and one-quarter-cent price was said I
to have been offered and refused,
the farmer explaining that he was i
going to hold on to his crop a while
longer. Heavy deliveries during re
cent days, in the opinion of many, |
have set the price fairly firm at sev
en cents, a few observers believing
that the price trend would be up
ward if the sales volume showed any
material sign of subsiding. "What's
the use of paying more when we are
being flooded with offers to sell at
seven cents?" one buyer was said to
have asked this morning
Rains falling early today are ex
pected to delay harvesting opera

CALL FOK HELP
Literally swamped with regu
lar duties and an expanding pro
gram, the county rationing
board is urgently calling for vol
unteer workers to assist in pre
paring kerosene and fuel oil
stamp allotments. With more
than 5,000 allotments to be pre
pared, regular workers in the
office have been able to prepare
hardly more than 500 of the spec
ial forms, and the stamps should
be in the hands of the consum
ers now. Unless a goodly num
ber of volunteers report and of
fer their services free, the dis
tribution of the allotments will
bedelayed for quite a while, it
is understood. Volunteers are
asked to report to the rationing
board any day in the week. The
work is not difficult.
The allotments will be distri
buted at school centers, but no
date for effecting the distribu
tion has been announced. Until
the allotments can be made
available, consumers will have
to sign a paper akin to a prom
issory note, agreeing to surren
der to many coupons after the
stamps are received.
Not A Single Arrest Is Made
Here During Past Week-End
For the first time in many, many
months local officers made no ar
rests last week-end, the absence of
activity on the crime front leaving
enforcement agencies and Jailer Roy
Peel guessing as to the why and
wherefore for the virtual disappear
ance of law violations all of a sud
den. The period of good behavior
followed week-ends of hard work,
the officers previously rounding up
as many as seventeen alleged vio
lators on a single Saturday. One man
was jailed, but he was brought in
from Jamesville after going on a
drunken and wild rampage there.
It may be the quiet before the
storm, and it is quite likely that a
little .crime wave will strike now
that the holiday season is at hand.
Trying to explain the marked de- I
crease or the absence of arrests here
last week-end, officers explained i
that Constable Chas. R. Mwrc, a
regular member of the police force !
now, was not sick. They added that
the drunks were few and far be
tween, that if there were any they j
made themselves scarce. Improved
behavior may not be traceable to it
altogether, but local officers say it
was rather singular that the num
ber of arrests fell to zero the first
Saturday that the legal liquor store
observed the six o'clock closing hour.
Sales at the local store dropped from
$2,041 the Saturday before to $1,700
last Saturday.
Hearing that no arrests were made
during the week-end, several citi
zens suggested that the police miss
ed a good chance when they did not
take into custody a group of irre
sponsibles who popped bombs and
fire-crackers late into the night Sun
day.
Another County Boy
Is Killed In Action
William F. Hasilip
Gives His Life In
Service of Country
Oak City >lan S?*v?Milli
From Count) Krporlril
Killed or MiKHiiif;
William Freeman Haislip, 11,
young Martin County man of near
Oak City, has been killed in the
"performance of duty for his coun
try," Ins mother, Mrs. Nannie F.
Haislip, was advised in a special
message received from T. Holcomb,
Lieutenant General, United States
Marine Corps, last Friday evening.
The messaue was the s?'v?'nlh l??ar
ing tragic news to loved ones in tlvis
county since Pearl Harbor.
Expressing deep regret and offer
ing the heart-felt sympathy of the
Marine Corps general, the message
offered few details. It is generally
believed the young man is the first
from this county to die in land com
bat, presumably on Guadalcanal in
the Solomon Islands. The general ex
plained that it was necessary to
withhold details that might be of
profitable aid to the enemy. Intern
ment was made temporarily "in the
locality where death occurred," the
message indicating that the young
man's body will be brought back
home after the war to lie at rest
among kith and kin who had figur
ed in three wars before him.
The son of Mrs. Nannie F. Haislip
and her husband, the late Hannibal
J. Haislip, the young man was born
in this county 24 years ago, the 27th
of last August. He attended the Has
sell school in his early youth and was
graduated from the Oak City High
School. About two years later at the
age of 22 and in answer to his coun
try's call he enlisted in the United
States Marine Corps. He was first
assigned to duty at Parris Island,
South Carolina, for a few weeks.
The following several months he
was in the service at Cuba, return
ing to this country a little over a
year ago to complete his training at
New River. Last March he made his
last visit home, leaving shortly af
ter that time for foreign service,
presurmr&y in the Southwest Pacific.
His last letters,
ritten in October,
stated that he was in good health,
that he was getting along all right.
Characteristic of the young man, and
reflecting thoughtfulness, each of his
letters urged his mother not to wor
ry about him too much. "Keep up
hope. Things are looking better and
everything is going to be all right,"
the young man said, in substance, to
reassure his mother.
Quiet and unassuming, young
Haislip was a good boy, neighbors
arid other friends praising his good
traits and manly and clean walk
through life. Assuming many of the
responsibilities of the home and
farm following the death of his
father about seven years ago, the
young man through his thoughtful
ness and kind acts enhanced the
bonds of love within the little fam
ily group and gained the admiration
of neighbors and other friends. Only
his country's call could induce him
to quit home and loved ones, and
that call was willingly answered and
now his duty has been well done.
While he, no doubt, missed loved
ones and his work^back home, he
never complained and always ex
pressed pleasure for the opportunity
Cotton (winnings Still
Trailing Those Of 1911
Current cotton ginnings, while
showing a marked gain during the
past few weeks, are still trailing
those of a year ago, and it is fairly
certain that production this year
will fall considerably below that of
1941.
According to a report jud re leas
ed by the Bureau of the Census
through its agent, Vernon W. Grif
fin, 3.900 bales have been ginned
from the current crop as compared
with 4,852 bales ginned up until No

Mail INot Available
?
Tin* bulk of Christmas mail must
be iu the post office by December
1st this year if deliveries on time
are to be assured, according to Smith
W. Purdum, Second Assistant Post
master General. Mr. Purdum is re
sponsible to Postmaster General
Frank C. Walker for smooth and ef
ficient air and railway mail service
Unprecedented wartime demands
on the postal and transportation sys
tems, plus a prospective record vol
ume of Christmas mailings, were cit
ed by Mr Purdum as necessitating
earlier mailings than ever before.
"It is physically impossible for the
railroads and air lines, burdened
with vitally important war mater
ials, to handle Christmas mailings
as rapidly as in normal times," Mr.
Purdum said. "If the bulk of parcels
and greeting cards are held back un
til the usual time the period of
about December 15 to 23 they sim
ply cannot be distributed in time,:
and thousands of gifts will reach
their destinations after Christmas."
In 11)41, about 21,950 mail cars were ;
required between December 12 and
24 to deliver Christmas mails ? en- j
lough cars to make a train 270 miles!
long This year, tin* extra cars need
ed to move holiday mails are large
ly being used by the armed services, i
and a severe shortage is in prospect
The postal service usually borrows
about 2,500 trucks from the Army
and other Government agencies, and
rents about 10,000 from private own
ers, to handle the Christmas mails. ;
IThis year, it will be extremely diffi
cult to obtain enough of these ve- i
' hides to meet even a substantial part
| of the need. The Army needs its own
trucks and private owners are re
luctant to let someone else use their
I tires.

Allies Score Gains
On Both Diplomatic
And Battle Fronts
?
Dakar and Martinique Flop
Over to Allien; Tide of Bat
tle In Turning in Kunnia
The Allies made big news on both
the battle and diplomatic fronts dur
ing the past few days when import
ant bases at Dakar and Martinique
were gained without bloodshed and
when Russia drove a deep wedge
back of the German invaders before
Stalingrad. While the drive in North
Africa continues, indications point
to some heavy fighting in Tunisia.
Late reports state that the Germans
had moved in much more equip
ment and a considerably larger force
than was thought possible, and that
German air power was picking at
General Alexander's forces as they
pursued General Erwin Rommel
along the Libyan coast in the general
direction of Tripoli.
In connection with developments
at Dakar and Martinique, few details
have been released and the status of
the new Allied gains is not quite
clear. It is certain that Hitler's plans
in those quarters have been thwart
ed, and the diplomatic maneuvers
constitute a great victory for the
Allies. In the harbor at Dakar are
the 35,000-ton battleship. Rictilieu,
throe cruisers, three destroyers, sev
enteen submarines and a number of
light craft units. One report states
that the ships will he made available
to the Allies. The diplomatic nego
tiations, bringing about the annexa
tion of Martinique by the Allies
I w ithout occupation, apparently pro
vide for the immobilization of that
portion of the French fleet there.
The French have at Martinique an
aircraft carrier, two cruisers and a
' number of auxiliary vessels. The
status of the mediant fleet is not
I yet certain.
The Russians, starting a powerful
j winter offensive, have cut Axis sup
j ply line to Stalingrad and heavy
| fighting is continuing in the elbow
I of the Don IHvrr. It is ati enormous
task, and the Russians must bo pret
ty badly battered after holding the
Germans at bay for 100 days in and
in front of Stalingrad, but they are
in line to trap a third of a million
German troops between the Don and
?the Stalingrad. They have been tak
ing prisoners by the tens of thous
ands in recent days, and enemy cas
ualties have been enormous. Other
gains have been reported by the
Russians in the Leningrad area and
in the Caucasus.
Although news from the South
west Pacific brought sorrow to this
county, the outlook in that area is
regarded as more favorable with the
Allied forces moving in on the Japs
at Buna, New Guinea, and gradual
ly clearing Guadalcanal of the yel
low scoundrels.
A late report states that Admiral
Jean Dai Ian had ordered the French
[fleet at Dakar to remain there for
I the present.

Draft Board Dinner
Open To The Public
In discussing plans for the dinner
to be given the local draft board on
Friday evening, December 4th, Dr.
John D. Biggs stated yesterday that
j the dinner and the entertainment
would not be confined to members
of the American Legion. "Any per
son who buys a ticket is eligible to
attend this special meeting," Dr.
Biggs said.
President Roosevelt asked the Le
gion throughout the country to ar

tribute to the draft boards as a tok
en of the nation's appreciation of
I their unselfish services in the war
I effort.

No General Holiday Will Be
Observed In County Thursday
Wlnlc many business houses and
offices will close, Thanksgiving day
will not be observed as a general
holiday in the county, according to
fairly complete reports coming from
various sources. Stores, business of
fices, including the post office, banks
and similar institutions will observe
the day as a full holiday. No postal
deliveries will be made in the town
or rural deliveries and no window
service will be offered at the post
eluding the office of the arm agent,
will be closed. County school chil
dren will have a two-day holiday,*
The draft board will remain open
along with those industries directly
or indirectly connected with the war
program, including lumber mills and
the peanut plant. Peanut ware
houses and receiving stations will
remain open and carry on operations
as usual.
In his annual proclamation, Pres
ident Roosevelt did not declare the
day as a general holiday, but he des
ignated the day as one of earnest
prayer. Despite the work scheduled
in some plants and offices, it is
agreed that everyone will find time
to bow down in prayer and thanks
giving. Union Thanksgiving Day
services will be held in the local
Methodist Church that morning at
10 o'clock when Dr. W. R. Burrell,
pastor of the Memorial Baptist
Church, delivers the annual ser
mon.
