ESTABLISHED 1899 Allied Armies Start All-Oafr-Drive On The Italian Front Shattering Blows Landed On Coastal Installations__ 1 JCnlf ftail ("eniers -• A mighty offensive, dove-tailing with the over-a1' invasion plan, was launched on the Italian fronts at midnight last night, first reports reaching here stating that the first objectives had been reached. Ap parently designed to open the roads to Rome, the drive by the American Fifth and British Eighth Armies, in cluding French, Polish and New Zea land soldiers, was described as the greatest and most powerful of any in the Italian campaign. At 11 o'clock last night, the Al lies laid down one of the greatest artillery barrages ever recorded in history. An hour later the troops started moving up, the first meager reports on the mighty drive merely stating that the first objectives had been reached as dawn broke this morning. The American forces were sweeping around the enemy along the Tyrrhenian S^a, and the British forces were reported pushing into the open valleys farther to the west. The drive, planned and prepared on a large and sustaining scale, struck to the center of German invasion jit ters, the enemy-controlled radio stat ing that the invasion was underway. The actual invasion, to be sure, has not started, but the power display ed by the Allies in Italy was so great that the Germans felt certain the inevitable had struck. The Italian drive was certainly made more impressive when the Al lied air offensive roared into its 28th day. Following shattering blows dealt enemy railroad centers in Bel gium and France yesterday and last night, Allied raiders were reported crossing the Channel coast today in an almost unbroken stream. Plaster ing fell, windows were broken and tile slipped from the roof of English homes across the Channel, the pound ing across the way was so great. The sky was literally throbbing with planes. There is little wonder that the enemy radio cried invasion. On the Eastern Front where the Russians are marking time to co ordinate what is expected to be a great offensive, the Germans yester day launched a strong attack against the Red Army bridgehead on the west bank of the Dniester River, a short distance above Tiraspol The attacks were hurled back, and they cost the enemey an estimated 4,000 men and a large number of tanks. Reports still maintain that the Russians are massing millions of men and vast ouantities of material for a drive on the Eastern Front when the invasion is launched in the West. Over in India and Burma where the Allies and enemy are both work ing to establish their positions be fore the rains set in, the fighting is going in favor of the Allies. In China, the Japs have succeeded in linking their northern and southern forces, but the rail route is not built for heavy traffic and the gain does not mean so much after all. In the Pacific area, the Allies con tinue their air attacks against stra tegic enemy bases, and one report states that plans are being made in the Aleutians for an attack on Japan proper. In this country, men over 30 years of age have been ruled out by the draft, and calls for men, 26 to 30, have been delayed for a few months.

County Land Tax Sale Smallest in Many Years - - - — - ■ - ' ■■■ — * ■ - V --<&.-* I Only til DplinamnU. Accounts Advertised For Sale On June 5th —*>— Total of i52.270.8fl Reported Unpaid on Real Estate As of May lO -9-:— Martin County today is advertis ing its delinquent tax list, the col lector, M. Luther Peel, pointing out that the number of unpaid accounts is the smallest in a quarter of a cen tury, and that the unpaid amounts have reached a new low point. The list, while showing some real prop erty owners still struggling along finanrialy, reflects unusually healthy conditions on the money front, as a whole. As of May 10, there were 210 un paid accounts representing only $2, 270.88 in unpaid taxes on real estate. These figures can be better appre ciated when one remembers those recorded just before Roosevelt went to Washington. At that time there were nearly 1,000 unpaid accounts and one-fourth of the tax levy that year or nearly $52,000 remained un collected. The delinquent iist was not advertised until November that year. Starting out with a levy of $200, 015.74. the collector has reduced the amount to $8,480.21—$6,215.33 in un paid personal property taxes and $2,270.88 due on real estate. Many of the accounts are small and are traceable in many instances to estates, those in charge possibly having overlooked the obligations. The number of unpaid accounts and amounts still due for the tax year 1943-44 are compared with those for the previous year, as fol lows; Number of Delinquents 1942 1943 Jamesville 45 37 Williams lfi 11 Griffins 5 3 Bear Grass 3 3 Wiliiamston 60 50 Cross Roads 13 10 Riobersonvillo 73 57 Poplar Point 2 0 Hamilton 29 21 Goose Nest 33 29 279 221 Unpaid Amounts 1942 1943 Jamesville $ 441.64 $ 241.60 Williams 129.44 82.01 Griffins 47.95 73.36 Bear Grass 24.91 19.94 Wiliiamston 689.59 417.41 Cross Roads 173.78 58.06 Robersonville 991.73 519.67 Poplar Point 30.07 0 Hamilton 764.07 291.04 Goose Nest 846.36 567.79 $4139.53 $2270.88 It is likely that many will pay the accounts before the sale on June 5. Mystery Surrounds Assault Case Here —»— The assault with a deadly weapon directed against James Willis Lloyd, local colored man last Saturday night remains unsolved, possibly be cause witnesses and parties involved refuse to talk. In a wide open gath ering een*cr for large numbers of the colored population, James Willis Lloyd was shot through the thigh that night. The case was virtually removed from the records this week when the victim and Willie James Rogers were fined $2 each and taxed with $5.50 costs for alleged disorder ly conduct. Other defendants in Justice J. L. Hassell’s court here this week in clude the following: Dalton Carroway, charged with simple assault, was required to pay $5.50 costs. Charged with disorderly conduct, Ella Stokes and Eloise Wiggins were each taxed $5.50 costs. Clyde Silverthorne, making about his third appearance before his hon or in as many weeks for alleged dis • 'Cia^rly conduct, was directed to pay' $9.50 costs. D. D. Hill, charged with simple assault, was sentenced to jaii, the court suspending the sentence upon the payment of $6.15 costs. Robert Everett, colored, was re quired to pay $6.50 costs in the case charging him with simple assault. Z. E. Helms, of the St* ♦« Highway Safety Division, will handle applications for drivers’ licenses each Wednesday be tween the hours ol 9 a. m. and 5 p. m in the N. C. Highway Pa trol Office in the town hall, Wil liamston, it was announced this week. Examiner Helms is moving to this district from Raleigh where he has been connected with the safety division for eighteen months. He succeeds Examiner Me I,cod. The office in this county has been closed for several weeks. Robbery Rampage Is Reported In County Last Tuesday Night Five Placed of Business Are Robbed From Here To Beyond Hassell ' ♦ A robbery rampage was reported in this county during last Tuesday night and early Wednesday morn ing when five places of business were entered and robbed, reports from the sheriff’s office here today declaring that the cases were among the most baffling and as mysterious as any ever recorded. No direct lead in the case has been defnitely established in the case, but several hundred dollars’ worth of cigarettes were said to have been found in hiding in the county. Believed to have launched their drive at the country store of Mrs. C. E. Jenkins near Williamston, the robbers continued on the Hamilton Road to Oscar Edwards’ store, then on to P. M. Matthews’ filling station on the same road, and then to John Eubanks’ store in Hassell. Failing in an apparent attempt to break into P..ul Edmondson’s store there, the robbers continued to John Council's filling station beyond Hassell. Apparently the robbers were main ly in search of money, but their choice of other article makes the cases more baffling. Cutting the screen and breaking a pane, the robbers entered a window in the Jenkins store, stealing $20 in cash, fifteen cartons of cigarettes of various brands, two joints of meat and sixty pounds of sugar. Going to the Edwards’ store, a few miles beyond the Jenkins store, the robbers apparently used a tire tool or bar and prized their way in through the front door. They stole about 500 pennies, fifty cartons of cigarettes and an RCA combination radio and phonograph, overlooking sugar and numerous other items. At the next stop, Matthews’ sta tion, the robbers entered the front door and stole five cartons of cigar ettes, thirty-six dozen eggs and 60 pounds of sugar. Why they should take a small amount of sugar at one place and none at the next and then take some at the next, officers can not explain. An entrance was gained through the front door of the Eubanks store in Hassell where they got about 100 pennies and a .45 caliber pistol. The store was ransacked almost from one end to the other, and it could not be determined if any other ar ticles were stolen. The robbers left their tracks at Edmondson’s store, but finding the barriers too strong they continued to Council’s Tilling station on High way 11. The front door was forced open, and the robbers centered their attention on cigarettes and added to their sugar collection, taking about fifteen cartons of cigarettes and 60 (Continued on page four) Former Coach Here Asks About His Boys •— Sviw'c. v James E. "Frosty” Peters, former coach in the local high school, said in part: “I have been thinking about the boys that played for me on the Wil liamston High School ‘Green Wave’ football team of 1933, ’34, ’35. I ex pect most of them are in the service now, and I am sure The Enterprise carries something about them from time to time. “I am interested in the boys be cause I want to know what one of the grandest bunch of boys I have ever known are doing for themselves and the world. I think the people there will agree with me as the boys’ record will speak for itself.” Since leaving Williamston, Coach Peters worked in Burlington High School, Marshall Field Co., Leaks ville, Andrew Lewis High School at Salem, Va., and completed his mas ter’s degree at VPI. He is now as sistant superintendent of the Bap tist Orphanage of Virginia at Sal em, but he plans to enter the service soon.

Body Of Man Found In The River Near Here Last Monday Stanley Outlaw Itt-lirvrd To Have Item Murdered Last November ——• A man’s body, said to have been in an extremely advanced state of decomposition, was removed from the Roanoke River here last Tues day afternoon, unofficial reports stating that the discovery furnished a missing clue in a five-months-old murder case over in Bertie County. The body with much of the flesh missing, was found about two miles up the liver last Monday by Dink Hardison, fisherman. He anchored the body near that point and report ed to officers, Goodwin Byrd, Ber tie coroner, coming here Tuesday to conduct an inquest. State Bureau of Investigation agents were also call ed, but their findings have not been officially learned. According to information gain ed here, the body was that of Stan ley Outlaw, 73-year-old colored man who lived in Indianwoods over in Bertie County and who had been missing since about tin' 27th of lust November. According to one report identity was definitely established, and there was some evidence that the man had been corded and possi bly weighted and dumped into the river while alive. Reports reaching here stated that thi' old man’s granddaughter was living with him, that a young Ne gro whose name could not be learn ed immediately visited the Outlaw home about a mile from the river against Outlaw’s wishes. Returning home on or about November 27, Out law found the young man there, and they went to the w'oodpile for a talk. The granddaughter is said to have told officers that she saw the young man hit her grandfather, that he did not kill him. Going away for a short time, the young man returned in an automobile, packed the old man in the car and hauled him away. He had not been seen or heard from since. a Japanese Submarine Seen Here Thursday —®— Making a brief stop on South Haughton Street here a midget Jap anese submarine was viewed and examined by a large crowd yester day morning about 10 o'clock. The driver of the large tractor-trailer truck carrying the sub stopped long enough to get a cup of coffee before continuing the trip to Plymouth and Edenton. Captured about the time the yel low Jap scoundrels raided Pearl Harbor, the submarine was brought to this country and is being display ed from one end of the nation to the other. Manned by only two men, the sub weighs forty tons and is 81 feet long. Hardly large enough for a man of medium height to stand upright in, the sub has double propellers, conning tower. Most of the machin ery has been removed, wooden rep licas taking its place while two v.'ax figures resembling Japs hold their stations at the periscope and machine controls. FISHING The season for hook and line fishing in inland waters will not open until Saturday of next week, May 20, it was announced by County Game Warden Kill Abbitt. Ordinarily the season opens on May 10, but the opening was delayed this year because fish ing was permitted up to and through the Easter season this year, it was explained. Thinking the season opened on May 10, some few sportsmen were seen going to the creeks and other small streams during ihe past day or two, Largest Answered In County So Far Draft Draws lleavilv from the Colored Ranks oil Coun ty’s Farms • In answer to one of the largest pre-induction draft calls ever receiv ed in this county, mere than one hundred colored men, literally pack ed into two trailer busses, left yes terday for preliminary examinations at Fort Bragg, According to an un official count, 105 men were in the contingent, one report stating that four other.- had been transferred to other boards and that about ten fail ed to report.

The seine fishing season, end ing abruptly on Tuesday of this we-.'k in the Roanoke at Janes ville was described as a near failure. At least, the business was the most unsuccessful re ported in years and years. In all, the plant was in opera tion only seven days and the business was underway at the extreme end of the season and comparatively few- fish were tak en. Just before the plant was closed last Tuesday, the herring catch had dropped below 25 and only a few rock were being tak en in each haul. It is fairly certain that there'll he a real shortage in corn her rings before next season. Mrs. Mol I ie E.

Edward S. Brown, of Jamesville, stated that he had met John B. Roberson from Williamston on April 2!ith. It is assumed that it was a happy meeting, but the ser vrt'i "if ** 1*7^^ mid, i'iiis is .1 s'lllchi world, after all." The young man, one of five broth ers now in the service, had little to say about himself, but he was appar ently impressed with the several verses centering around the “Draft Dodger.” The poem’ its author un known, has been published here previously, but it will be run ugain soon at the special request of Sgt. Brown. The sons of Mrs. Dare Brown, of Jamesville, Carroll, Jimmy, Howard, Tommie and Edward are serving ei ther in the Army or Navy, and a sixth one, Elwood, is in the 18-26 age group.
