Mr. Horton’s review:
The 1943 General Assembly, now
histroy, having ended on March 10,
3 943, accomplished, among ether
things, the following:
The creation of a Post-War Re
serve Fund.
► At the beginning of the session
there was an estimated surplus in
the general fund of approximately
$30,000,000.00. Many of the legisla
tors went to Raleigh with various
designs upon this surplus, live
general policy adopted was not to
make any change in the tax struc
ture of the state until conditions
were more normal, and in dealing
with the surplus the General Assem
bly first of all appropriated $20,
000,000.00 for the rainy day that is
sure to come, and also provided that
any further surplus which may ac
crue in the biennium shall be add
ed to that fund. Thus, a reserve fund
has been created that will be bene
ficial in the financing of the state
when the war is over and the depres
sion comes, that always comes after
► war, and which I think was a very
wise policy. *
Probably the outstanding achieve
ment of the session was the adoption
of a minimum nine months school
term. This was an act of fairness and
equality to all the children of the
state, and thus gives to three-fourths
of the children in North Carolina the
first opportunity they have had to
enjoy the same school term already
enjoyed by one-fourth of the school
children in North Carolina, and thus
carried out the plan of great states
. ..vEoua?. educ4&'«r,.4l..«ivaujagvs.
to all.”
the fieneral Asaetn
bly wisely refused to interfere with
laws effecting labor in the State of
North Carolina. This will permit our
state to go along as it has done in
the past with a minimum hri;.// trou
ble. Certainly no anti-labor legisla
tion was proposed -si passed, and
this permits a wholesome situation
with respect to labor in our state.
There was created by this General
Assembly unified boards of control
for mental and correctional institu
tions, and under such boards the four
major mental institutions wi’l be
able to function more economically
and more advrntageously and thus
do more for the inmates thereof than
ever before. This is a correction of
a situation that has not been the best
in the past, and considerable hope
may be held out for further improve

Judge J. C. Smilli
Calls Eight Cases
In County’s Court
—•—
Defendant Directed to Sur
render Liquor Ration Book
Or Go To The Roads
Calling eight cases, Judge J. Cal
vin Smith cleared the docket in a
snappy season of the Martin Coun
ty Recorder’s Court last Monday.
With a comparatively small crowd
present for the proceedings, Judge
Smith and Solicitor Paul D. Rober
son completed their work in less than
two hours or in ample time to make
to their homes in Robersonville for
lunch without exceeding the 35-mile
speed regulation.
Appearing before the court for al
leged drunken driving, Haywood
Johnson pleaded guilty. He was di
rected to pay a $50 fine and the
costs, the court revoking his driver’s
license for one year. The defendant
was also directed to surren&E? ids
liquor ration book to the ABC board
in the county within ten days or go
to the roads for a term of thirty days.
Prayer for judgment was again
continued in the case charging Mack
Woolard with non-support. The case
is scheduled for consideration on
Monday, March 29th.
The cases charging Charlie Staton
with bastardy and Clayton Bailey
with drunken and reckless driving
were continued until Monday, March
29th.
Elbert Whitehurst pleaded not
guilty in the case charging him with
disorderly conduct and damaging
property. Rating the alleged• -exfeno
as a felony, Whitehurst was bound
over to the superior court for trial
next week when probable cause of
guilt was found in the case. Bond
was required in the sum of $250.
Walter Jones, colored, pleaded not
guilty in the case charging him with
an assault with a deadly weapon.

Fed by rains falling recently
in the upper Roanoke basin, the
river here is on another ram
page. The freshet is no serious
one, but it is expected to be from
eight to ten inches over its banks
by Sunday or Monday and will
certainly hamper logging and
timbering industries along the
stream for several days.
However, it is an ill wind that
blows no good. The fishermen
are saying that a strong water
will invite herrings up the
stream in great numbers. And
speaking of herrings, reports
state that they, are belnx.pipped,
up down around* Jamesville in
fair numbers, that the seine will

Martin County Red
Cross Chapter Goes
Over Top In Drive
Total of $4,352.27 Reported
And Deposited in Cash
In the Bank
The team work of willing can
vassers supported by willing con
tributors has carried the Martin
County Chapter of the American
Red Cross over the top in its War
Fund drive, Chairman V. J. Spivey
stating at noon yesterday that a to
tal of $4,352.27 had been reported
in cash and banked. At the present
time, the chapter has exceeded its
quota by $452.27, the War Fund drive
chairman explaining that unreport
ed and late donations would possi
bly boost the total to $4,500 or more.
Every quota has been exceeded to
date except the one for the colored
citizens, and reports from leaders of
that group assure the chairman that
the amount and more will be raised
within the next day or two.
While the canvassers had the con
tributors are to be commended for
their parts in the drive, it should
be remembered that the task was
small when measured by the serv
ice that awaits to be done. It should
be gratifying to those who had a
part ir> the drive to know that the
International Red Cross, working in
Tokyo, reported a Martin County
man stilt few days ago. Some
one’s contribution to the organiza
tion helped make that message pos
sible, an act that the powerful gov
ernment of this nation could not do.

Judge Hunt Parker
To Clear Criminal
Docket Next Week
—*—.
Jurors for Second Week Be
ing Advised Not to Re
port for Duty
- - ■<» —
Many terms have come to an
abrupt end once they were started,
but for the first time in years and
years and by agreement of the Coun
ty Bar Association the second week
of a regular term of the Martin
Gfiupty.Surerjpj Court has been gall
:*d off before the tribunal opened
for tjjHdispatch of business. As a re
County S^penol*
Court will convene next Monday,
olear the criminal docket of the few
minor cases, hear possibly four or
five p,cas for divorce and adjDuwp
without further ado. Judge R. Hunt
Parker, of Roanoke Rapids, is to
preside over the abbreviated term.
No definite reason for eliminating
the second week of the regular two
weeks term and limiting proceedings
during the first week, could be learn
ed immediately. Possibly there are
several reasons, one source stating
that the civil plum is not quite ripe
and it will be just as well to con
tinue the calendar in its entirety. It
is estimated that there are about 135
civil cases in the court clerk’s files,
that most of them or about 100 eases
will wear themselves out, stumble
into a settlement in time without
direct intervention on the part of
the courts. The others will ripen, a
few possibly in time for trial at the
special term next month, others
about June and still others about
next September and October.
The criminal docket, carrying thir
teen cases for trial next Monday and
Tuesday will hardly compare with
a mediocre one in the county court,
officials and attendants referring to
it as little more than something drag
ged in by the cats. While any crime

All Right To Get
Drunk In County
—»—
Contrary to a recent report, it is
perfectly legal for a person to get
drunk and down in Martin County
so long as he does it outside the lim
its of incorporated towns. One should
be mindful, however .that he c»r,'t
be disorderly, for by some hook or
crook that part of the law is still ef
fective. Introduced in and passed in
the House, the bill making it un
lawful for one to get drunk and down
outside limits of incorporated towns,
went to the senate where local bills
are seldom defeated. This bill along
with another one affecting this coun
ty directly was lost in some way.
The second bill that gained life in
the House just to die a more or less
natural death in the Senate, would
have made it possible for the county
tax collector to receive taxes for
1943 during the few months that
the tax years overlap. Last year an
assistant collector was appointed to
handle the 1942 collections while the
regular collector wfis completing the
1941 collections. The only way to
clear up the situation and avoid the
necessity of naming a special assist
ant collector is to advertise taxes in
May for sale in June of this year and
in subsequent years.
A bill empowering the county
commissioners to remunerate the ra
tioning board members for their
services was enacted into law, along
with another one raising the pay of
jurors from $2 to $3 a day.

Destruetion Js Great
-,*
The over-all picture of the war is
spotted today with good news com
ing out of Russia being partly off
set by bad while the activities on
other fronts are recognized as en
couraging.
Fighting a determined fight in the
Moscow sector, the Russians are said
to have recaptured Vjazma, import
ant German base, and opened the
way for throwing increased power
into the drive toward Smolensk.
Throwing 25 fresh divisions into the
fight, the Germans are threatening
the Russians in the Ukraine, late re
ports stating that fighting is in
progress at the edge of Kharkov, The
invaders are suffering*terrible losses
and the defenders Ste offering a
great fight to stem what bos ^ rnmmu
pearance of a renewed Nazi drive
m Russia. Facing superior numbers
and battered by tanks and special
troops, the Russians were said in last
reports to be figh’ing to the last
man.
Over in Tunisia, “Fox" Rommel is
believed to be on his way out after
tasting costly losses and defeat at
the hands of the British Eighth Army
to the south of the Mareth line. Lit
tle activity is being reported in oth
er areas in Tunisia. American losses
in Tunisia includes 59 killed. 176
wounded and 2,007 missing during
the period of Feb. 14 to-20. Increas
ed activity pointing to an all-out
fight in Africa is being predicted.
Little news is coming from the Pa
cific where the Japs are said to be
displaying an increasing airpower.
The Chinese are scoring new suc
cesses along the Salween river, but
their losses have been heavy in oth
er areas.
The relentless bombing of Ger
many is getting results. It is now es
timated that 2,000 Nazi war factor
ies, including the Krupp plants, have
been wrecked and that a million and
a quarter Germans have been made
homeless in the wake of 12,000 tons
of bombs falling on them in the past
month.

that a vast reign of terror for that
stricken country is believed immi

the past few days.
On the home front, the war is call
ing for rationing of meats, fats, oils,
butter, cheese and canned fish on
April 28 at midnight. More liberal
rationing of dried prunes, raisins,
beans and peas goes into effect to
morrow.
Service Men To Get
Smokes From [Jons
——
By unanimous vote, members of
the local Lions Club at their dinner
meeting here last night decided to
send cigarettes to servicemen now
stationed on foreign ceil. The mem
bers contributed money toward the
purchase of 1000 packages of Camels.
It was decided to send the cigar
ettes to Lion Fred Taylor, and mem
bers of his batallion, which is now
on active duty somewhere in a for
eign theater of war. Fred was the
first member of the local club to en
list in the services of his country,
and it is felt that it will be hearten
ing to him to know that the local
club members are doing this for he
and his comrades.
Each package will not bear the
usual tax stamp, but instead will
carry an appropriate greeting from
the Williamston Lions Club.
PRISONER
-_<
Reported missing in action on
May 11, 1942, Louis T. Holliday,
Martin County young man, was
a few days ago reported a pris
oner of the Japs, according to
an official message received by
his sister, Mrs. Lillian Holliday
Baker, of Robersoaville. The
message sent by Rear Admiral
Randall Jacobs, Chief of Navy
Personnel, reads as follows: “The
Navy Department is in receipt
of an official cablegram from
the International Red Cross in
Tokyo, stating that your brother,
Louis T. Holliday, machinist’s
mate, first class, IT. S. Navy, is
being held a prisoner of war in
the Philippine Islands.’’
Holliday, the first Martin
County man to be reported a
prisoner of war, enlisted in the
Navy in 1925. The certainty of
war in April, 1941, when his en
listment expired, caused him to
remain at his post Nothing had
been heard from the young man
since he was reported missing in
the Manila Bay area after Cor
regidor fell, and it is reasonable
to believe that he was in the
thick of that great stand made
by Mac Arthur’s men.
He is the son of Mrs. W. H.
Holliday and the late Mr. Holli

Schedule Blackout
Next Friday Night
—•—
Recognizing the ineffectiveness of
the last test, Civilian Defense Au
thorities are calling for another test
blackout in the State next week. The
test will be held in this district on
Friday, March 10th.
The first signal will come at 8'50
o’clock. Upon tne sounding of the
“blue” or two-minute signal, all
house and street lights are to be
turned out. Traffic may proceed with
dim lights and at a speed 15 miles
or less. Pedestrians may continue
but should be ready to take cover
immediately.
The “red” signal or five short
blasts of the fire siren, will come at
9 p. m. and calls for a complete shut
down, cars stop and pedestrians clear
the streets. No lights are to be turn
ed on.
A second “blue” signal—a two
minute blast of the siren—will fol
low at 9:10 o’clock. Pedestrians and
traffic may continue after a limited
schedule, but no house or street lights
are to be turned on until the all-clear
is given at 9:22 when the street lights
will be turned on.
Announcing the test blackout,
John L. Goff, of local civilian de
fense, warned local people against
leaving lights unattended. If you
leave home any night, turn out all
lights.
With a very few exceptions, the
last blackout test in this district was
successful, but in others there was
much confusion.

notified to report for duty in the
armed services on Tuesday, April

Congressional Law
Affecting Farmers
Quite Complicated
--l:
To Include Mar
ried Men in March Call;
Look On! for April
--
Notices, numbering possibly 200 or
more, are going out tor the first time
today from the draft board instruct
ing Martin County married men tr.
report for physical examinations the
latter part of next week, unofiicial
ly on Thursday and Friday, for physi
cal examinations. The order means
that married men without children,
will, in all probability, be included
m the April call. Not only wiil mar
ried men w i. . .out children be in
cluded in tho April call, but it is al
so apparent that they will appear in
it in numbers, far it is understood
that the call is one of the largest ev
er received in the county for white
men. Whether the draft authorities
can meet the quota is another prob
lem, one report stating that the cur
rent month quota will certainly not
be met in its entirety.
Taking precedence over Selective
Service rules, regulations and or
ders, a congressional law providing
for a temporary blanket deferment
of ail farmers and their possible re
classification from 1-A to 2-C or 3-C
is proving indeed complicated for
the Draft Board and the County
USDA War Board. At the same time,
the farmer registrant must act in
his own behalf or take a chance on
being called into the Army.
Recognizing the nnportan.e of the
farmer in the war program, the Mar
tin County Draft Board, acting in
strict accordance with rules and reg
ulations, has made every effort to
defer farmers in those cases where
food and feed production was ad

adopted as a result of the new law.
The farmer registrant or relatives
cannot file a questionnaire. TK in
formation necessary for handling
classifications is to come from the
farm plans filed by farmers the lat
ter part of last January. Right there
is where much trouble is develop
ing. Some registrants have changed
their addresses and they can’t be
traced. Some farmers have changed
their plans. A few f ioners have al
tered their manpower set-up to make
certain their boy will haVe the
necessary production units, and in
quite a few c°res where the draft

Farm Security Has
A Splendid Record
For The Past Year
-—
Borrowers Pay Bark Every
Penny and Retire
Other Debts
For the crop year 1942, the Farm
Security Administration loaned
$105,060 to low income farmers of
Martin County for the purpose of
enabling them to carry on their
farming operations. Of this amount,
$80,760 was to be repaid the current
| year, with the other $24,300 set up in
deferred payments over a period
of 3 to 5 years, depending on the far
mer’s ability to repay.
There was a total of $15,340 in
payments coming due on notes that
liad been deferred in past years,
making a total due of $96,100 for the
collection season of 1942. Instead of
repaying the amount as set up and
stopping at that, FSA borrowers of
this county to-date have actually
repaid $122,684.19, or a total of $26,
584.19 ahead, thereby, paying up
notes and cutting off interest.
An example of what is meant by
deferred payment is shown in the
following case: A tenant fanner
