Stiffer Resistance
Offered By Germans
Might’^AirOffeiuivejCenter
In Past Fe>v Days
After staging possibly ono cf the
r greatest sweeping drives in months,
the Russians are now closing in on
the important Black Sea base of
Sevastopol, but late reports declare
that the Germans are offering a stif
fening resistance there, indicating
that the fall of t're city will be de
layed a short time.
The Moscow midnight war com
munique announced that troops of
Gen. Andrei I. Yeremenko’s inde
pendent maritime army advancing
toward Sevastopol from the south
east through the Baidar valley were
in hot pursuit of the enemy, who
was abandoning arms and equip
ment in retreat.
Gen. Geodor I. Tolbukhin’s Fourth
Ukrainian Army, however, was
' meeting “strong resistance’’ as it
reached the doors of a powerful ring
of German fortifications anchored
on the heights east and northeast of
the battle-scarred city. In yester
day’s fighting the Fourth Army cap
tured Mekenziev, three miles north
east of Sevastopol, across Sevasto
pol Bay, and Cherkez Kerman, eight
miles east of the city.
Although the capture of Meken
ziev placed the Russians just a lit
tle under three airline miles north
east of Sevastopol, they actually
were about five miles overland from
the city, for to reach it from Keken
ziev, they would have to swing east
and then west around the eastern
end of Sevastopol Bay. Sevastopol is
on the south shore of the bay and
Kekenziev is 1 7-8 miles above the
north shore.
At all points around the city the
Russians were facing powerful for
tifications; and for that reason, mili
tary experts doubted continuing re
ports that the fall of Sevastopol was
a matter of hours.
The stalemate, while subject to
explode at any time, continues on
the Italian front, a report this morn
ing stating that the Germans fired
flares on the Cassino front all dur
ing last night apparently in expec
tation of an attack. In the Anzio
beachhead, the Allies yesterday re
captured a strong point.
The Allied air attack is in prog
ress over western Germany today,
and the invasion coast is still being
pounded. However, the air attack,
now going into its fourth straight
* day, is apparently being directed
mainly on targets in the Balkans.
Important rail centers hat e been
blasted at Sofia, Belgrade, Buda
pest and other objectives in those
areas.
The mighty demonstration of Al
lied air power over the Balkans was
designed to halt the flow of supplies

Farmers Interested
In Treating Peanut
Seed In This County
——*#—
Several Demonstrations Held
By Agents During Past
Several Days
Many farmers from different sec
tions of Margin County have attend
ed demonstrations on the ceresan
treatment of peanut seeds, held by
James C. Eubanks, County Super
visor of the Farm Security Admin
istration.
The first was held on Monday,
April 10, at Ernest Hayes in the
Hardens community. Due to sick
ness, Mr. Eubanks could not hold the
demonstration, but Mr. L. L. Mc
Lendon, Assistant County Agent,
went down and conducted it.
The second was held Thursday,
April 13th, at Heber Smith’s farm,
five miles above Oak City, and the
third was held Friday. April 14th, at
A. W. VanNortwick’s farm, three
miles from Williamston.
The latter two were well attend
ed and much interest was shown in
the treating of seeds, and the meth
ods used for treating.
There will be a demonstration in
the Rear Grass section on Friday,
for th^iilored pwipi*.
The treating method is very sim
ple, however, extreme care has to
be exercised not to scar or skin the
peanut seed. One hundred pounds
of seeds were accurately w'eighed
out and placed in a barrel. Three
ounces of ceresan was then sprinkl
ed in the barrel on the seed, after
which a head was placed over the
barrel. The barrel was rolled over
and over until every seed was coat

ROUND-UP
Local officers were kept fair
ly busy last week-end rounding
up and jailing drunks. Five were
arrested and jailed for being
drank and disorderly, and a
sixth victim was jailed for issu
ing a worthless check. Several
other persons were arrested for
various alleged infractions of
the law, but they arranged bond
and escaped a stay in jail.
Three of the group arrested
and jailed were white, and the
ages ranged from 20 to 42 years.

Thirty-Six Of The
Registrants Taken
From County Farms
Only One of the Group Leav*
ini' This Week Is Over 25
Years of Ape
Approximately fifty white Mar
tin County men left for an army
center yesterday for pre-induction
examinations. The group was drawn,
for the most part, from the old reg
istration and the selections were cen
tered in the list of registrants whose
ages ranged around 24 and 25 years
of age. Twenty-four uf the grout) ate
24 years of age, and twenty-one are
25 years of age. There is only one
man above 2(i years of age, and ho
was reported to hold a non-essential
job. One of the men is 18 and anoth
er is 19 years old.
Thirty-six of the men are farm
ers, the eighteen others coming from
a varied list of endeavors, mostly in
dustrial.
Thirty-five are married and they
leave at least 25 children at home.
In accordance with recent instruc
tions, the draft authorities are send
ing all men in the 18-25 age group
as rapidly as they are called, irre
spective of occupation. It is possible
for the registrant’s employer to file
a deferment claim, but it is fairly
well established that unless the reg
istrant is occupied in a critical in
dustry or is producing sixteen war
units there is little left for the draft
board to do but order hm to report
for duty, povided he passes the pre
induction tests.
The following men were called to
answer the current call for pre-in
duction examinations:

Veterans Quickly Find Jobs
Of the 11,516 veterans who ap
plied for jobs. 6,361 found work im
mediately during a demonstration
program opened in January by the
U. S. Employment Service, the War
Manpower Commission announced.
This service for veterans will be
continued and expanded to USES
local offices throughout the coun
try, where veterans will be permit
ted to “shop around" before decid
ing on a job Job opportunities for
physically handicapped veterans
from this war will be better than
they were for the handicapped vet
erans of the last war, in the opinion
of WMC, based on recent studies.
Placements of handicapped work
ers in 1943 were approximately sev
en times the number placed in 1940.
A large proportion of the physical
ly handicapped require only care
ful job placement. Veterans will be
hired in OPA offices and boards
throughout the country as rapidly
as vacancies occur. About 2,500 va
cancies occur each month.
New Shoe Stamp Announced
Beginning May 1, Airplane Stamp

in Book One will expire April 30.
From May 1 through May 20, chil

$1.60 per pair) in sizes 8 1-2 through
12, and misses’ and little boys’ shoes
in sizes 12 1-2 through 3 will be ra

rationed shoes exceeded production
by more than 53 million pairs, which
made it necessary late last year to
decrease the number of shoes avail
able to civilians.

Prominent Citizen
Of Hamilton Died
In Hospital Today
—•—
Funeral Services Will Be Held
For Gladstone Anthony
Wednesday
W. Gladstone Anthony, prominent
Hamilton citizen, died in a Rocky
Mount hospital this morning at 4:15
o’clock following an illness of only
a few days. He had been in de
clining health for possibly several
months, but he continued active un
til last Tuesday when he was forc
ed to take his bed. Yesterday, his
condition became worse and he was
removed to the hospital where, it
was repotred, his blood pressure
dropped to around thirty. Death was
attributable to that and a complica
tion of ailments.
The son of the late J. B. and Lula
Anthony, he was born in Hamilton
54 years ago last September. In
early manhood he was married to
Mrs. Erin Shields Herring of Hob
good. A son, R. G. Anthony, of
Portsmouth, survives the union.
Several years ago he was married to
Miss Susan Alligood of Hamilton.
Besides his wife and son he leaves
a sister, Mrs. W. J. Beach of Hamil
ton.
Mr. Anthony spent most of his life
farming, but in recent years he was
engaged in the mercantile business
and more recently he was employed
■OTViubet thi Ham
section. Few men were ever held
in higher esteem in his community
than Mr. Anthony was. He placed
his own interests second to that of
his fellowman, and friendships were
placed before his own financial con
siderations. In fact, it is said that
he spent most of his life i.nd time in
the unselfish interest of others, ac
commodating his friends and aiding
the needy willingly and often. His

High Water Delays
Seine Fishing In
The Roanoke River
—*—
I (erring Shortage Recognized
As Serious in Some
Quarters
Delayed week after week by high
water, seine fishing in the Roanoke
at Jamesville is hardly expected to
get into the picture ihis season, ac
cording to late reports coming from
headquarters of the important in
dustry. It will be possibly ten days
or two weeks before the water falls
enough to permit seine operations.
The best part of the season is al
ready spent, and ordinarily opera
tions are discontinued in early May.
The herring shortage this season
has held prices to a record high lev
el, reports stating that the fish have
been selling “green” for as much
as $ 1 ft and $20 per thousand, that the
small scale fishermen have been un
able to supply more than a fraction
of the demand.
Coming in the face of rationed
food, the fish shortage is recognized
as serious in some quarters, espec
ially among the lower-income groups
where the herring rated high on the
regular menu.
Operations have been interrupted
for short periods during past sea
sons, but this is one of the few times |
in the history of the business that
activities at the fishery have been
all but wiped out for an entire sea
son.
The fishing business handled by
small operators has been advanced
in the face of unusual handicaps and
catches have been very small. Indi
viduals, coming In the Roanoke from
some distance in fairly large num
bers in past years, have been few in
number this year. It is fairly certain
that the fishing season, for the most
pu/.i,- has been a complete failure.
While herring fishing has been
held to a low minimum in flic Roan
oke this season, record catches of
perch have been reported. The perch
market has been flooded, but thejr
distribution was limited.
According to a report reaching
here yesterday, Mr. C. C. Fleming,
owner-operator of the plant at
Jamesviiie, is watching the water
closely with the expectation of
starting operations just as soon as
possible. It was stated that he plan
ned to op! .".lie foj ;■ few days, if no
here today, the river is believed to
have reached a crest and is expected
to start falling the latter part of this
week. Several days will likely pass
before the stream is back within its
banks. During the past twenty
four hours the stream had risen
only one and one-half inches.

FIIJNG FEES
l
"s
}
While they will hardly offset
the expenses, filing: fees advanc
ed by the several political can
didates in this county amount to
well over $100, or $132.50, to be
exact.
Fees were paid as follows:
House of representatives, $6
each; constable, county commis
sioners, board of education mem
bers and county surveyor, $5
each; county judge, $12 each;
county solicitor, $9; treasurer,
$0, and register of deeds, $26.40.

Candidates Without
Opposition Declared
Democrat Nominees
———
Race.* Created for the State
House, County Commis
sioner and Recorder
Last-minute bids filed late Satur
day afternoon completed the coun
ty s political roster with three can
didates to spare, it was officially an
nounced by Mr. Sylvester Peel,
chairman of the Martin Board of
Elections. Contests were developed
for the house of representatives,
judge of the county recorder’s court
and for county commissioner in the
Jamesville-Williams district. It is
possible that a senatorial contest was
created, but no candidates had been
certified up until today, and the
political line-up for that office could
not be definitely learned. It was re
liably learned, however, that Roy
Hampton and Z V. Norman, both of
Plymouth, had filed for the two
senatorial seats in the second dis
trict, and that possibly Pamlico and
Beaufort were offering candidates.
No one in this county filed for one
oi the two district senatorial seats.
With the exception of the three of
fices to be contested, all candidates
were declared the party nominees,
the line up remaining the same with
one exception. John W. Eubanks,
member of the Martin County Board
of Education, did not file and his
place will be taken by Ferd W. Hol
liday, subject to legislative appoint
ment the early part of next year. If
the action of the party is recognized
and there is every reason to believe
that it will be recognized, then the
county will have two members of
the board of education from the same
district. The election of county board
of education members is on a coun
ty-wide basis and not restricted to
districts.
After dragging along for weeks,
showing little interest and attract
ing very little attention, the politi
cal front within the county took on
new lile last Friday and Saturday
when three contests were developed.
Clarence W. Griffin, Williamston at
torney and citizen of Griffins Town
ship, will be opposed by J. R. Wins
low, Robersonville farmer, in the
race for a seat in the lower house of
the North Carolina Legislature.
R. L. Coburn, Williamston attor
ney, and J. Calvin Smith, Roberson
ville attorney, are competing for the
county judgeship.
The third county contest centers
around the Martin County commis
sionership in the Jamesville-tWil

Applications For
Absentee Ballots
The number of applications filed
in this county for absentee ballots
for servicemen and service women
was doubled over the week-end
when about 25 members of the arm
ed forces applied for the proper vot

were received through the office of
the Secretary of State.
In some few instances, state bal
lots have already been mailed to the
applicants in distant lands. County
ballots vi id r,,,<ow just as
candidates for the second senatorial
seats arc certified and the printers
can handle the order.
The number of applications for
absentee ballots has been unusually
small in this county. It is not too
late for a relative to apply for a bal
lot for a son, brother, husband or
cousin in the service. The applica
