ESTABLISHED 1899 “^safflp.riarkertsae Ready For .Wther ml Successful Season —$— Large Plant of Loeal Company Plans To Make Initial Run on Thursday -® While a few scattered sales have been reported, the marketing cf pea nuts is hardly expected to get under way on any appreciable scale be fore the latter part of this or early next week. Arrangements for oper ating and maintaining a lively mar ket here this season are just about complete. The large plant of the Wil Iiamston Peanut Company has been completely overhauled following a fire a few weeks ago 'ind new ma chinery has been installed. No official announcements have been made, but it is understood that there will be at least six companies represented in this area during the current season. The big tobacco rush is likely to cause some of the repre sentatives to delay their activities in the peanut market for a few days, and the season, will hardly approach a peak before some time about the middle or latter part of next month. Weather conditions will have much to do with the progress of the marketing, but there are strong in dications that farmers will rush the crop to market as rapidly as possi ble. While some growers insist the crop is hardly ready for the thresh ers, quite a few started picking last week. Rains last Thursday night and Friday morning interrupted the task, but pickers are now operating again in many sections, and it is quite likely that well over 100 ma chines will be placed in operation the latter part of this week or the early part of next, weather permit ting. A shortage of peanut bags is al ready in prospect, but it is expected that they will be made available in necessary quantities but possibly a bit late. Making ready for the new season, the owners of the Williamston Pea nut Company made extensive re pairs to their plant here during re cent weeks. The plant was over hauled from the fourth floor to the bottom, including repairs to the en gine, boiler and the installation of new plate screens and a new separ ating machine. A new shell crusher has been shipped and is expected any day. While its installation may (Continued on page six) Over One Hundred Tires Are Allotted One hundred and thirty tires — 111 Grade I’s and nineteen for trucks were issued by the Martin Coun ty War Price and Ration Board last Friday night.

The distribution will be handled at four white high schools, Jamesvilie, Wil liamston, Robersonville and Oak City, betweer the hours of 2 and 6 o’clock p. m., on the two days. Applicants are asked to apply to their nearest school, giving their speedometer readings and present ing the State registration card for their cars and the old “A’’ card ra tion book. Board members and representa tives will be at each of the distribu tion centers, and volunteers, includ ing teachers for the most part, will handle the new registration and de liver the new gas ration books to the applicants. In those cases where the ca» speed ometers are broken, the applicant will give the last reading and offer such other information the regis trars may ask. While late registrations will be possible, no previsions have been made at this time to handle them, and it is likely that car owners will find it advisable and more conven ient to register for the new rations on either October 31 or November 1st. It is estimated that 2,500 car own ers will apply for the “A” books on the two days in this county, and plans are being made to have am ple facilities for handling the appli cations, but it will be a matter of first come, first served. The public is reminded that the rations to be issued are of the “A" kind only, and that applications should be made on the specified dates and places. Need Farm Program For Post-War Period ROUND-UP A medium-sized round-up was effected by local police, county officers and military police here last Saturday. Si* persons were arrested and jailed, one, a young: white, woman, for false pretense, one for larceny and receiving:, one for drunken driving: and three for public drunkenness. Three of the group, including a young serviceman, were white and their ages ranged from 18 to 49 years. The crime front, as a whole, was very quiet, local police re porting no general disorders. Ratings For County Cafes Announced By Health Department —®— No Eating Flares Are Order ed Closed by Sanitarian Garland Coltrain -$ Completing a periodical inspection a few days ago, Sanitarian Garland Coltrain found cafes and other eat ing places in fair condition for the most part. A few of the establish ments earned high ratings while oth ers were on the "low” side, but none was ordered, closed, according to the report just released by the sanitar ian. Inspections were also made of1 the various markets in the county, and rooming houses and hotels. The highest rating was earned by the Dunning Place.

Both plants were cold. At the first plant, the officers found a 50-gallon gas drum the op erators used for a kettle and pour ed out three barrels of sugar beer. The plant was located hardly more than two miles north of Roberson v lilt?, 'ate? StrCoiid jaaSBtfMMia the Stingy Point section, was equip ped with a 30-gallon gas drum. The officers poured out five barrels of cheap molasses beer there. Farm Bureau Group Reminded of Events Following Last War —»— Membership Drive, with Over 800 Signed, To Reach Climax Next Few Days -$ Addressing representatives of the Martin County Farm Bureau Mem bership Committee at a meeting in the courthouse last Friday evening, Joe Williams, assistant secretary of the State organization, stressed the need for an effective agricultural program in the postwar period and reminded the small group of the dis astrous events following the world war a quarter of a century ago. The meeting, quite informal and to the point, heard a report on the membership drive now underway and which is expected to push on to its goal during the next few days. More than 800 members were report ed signed at the meeting last Friday night and several of the canvassers were unable to attend and report. At a meeting to be held soon, possibly some time next week, another re port on the membership drive will be submitted. Mr. Chas. L. Daniel, president of the county organization, opened the meeting and briefly reviewed the need for maintaining a strong and effective organization. Mr. Williams, in his informal and ^hori talk, touched on several vital ly important topics. “The Triple A program had just about been aban doned except for tobacco quotas and a few soil-building practices,” he said, going on to explain that there is a more or less concerted drive on the part of some to have tobacco quotas lifted. It has been rumored in some quarters that the scarcity of cigarettes is traceable to a short age of tobacco. It is estimated that production this year will be 93 or more million pounds in excess of withdrawals. (Continued on page six) --— Hogs Account For Big Farm Income —«— When asked why local consumers .of meats and beef could not be ade quately supplied, D. M. Roberson, owner and operator of Roberson's Slaughter House, pointed out that an enormous amount, of cattle and hogs raised locally were going to the Armed Forces. “We have shipped to Kingan and Company, from January 1, 1944, to September 30, 1944, approximately 9,445,452 pounds of live hogs,” Mr. Roberson said. “Sixty per cent or more of this meat went to the var ious branches of the Armed Forces or Lend-Lease. These hogs sold for $1,227,908.85, and the figures for both hogs and cattle would far ex ceed the above amount,” he stated. According to Mr. Roberson, de spite the handicaps of labor and feed shortages, the farmers of east ern Carolina are making a big con tribution in supplying the meats necessary to feed the Army and Navy and also the foreign people who are receiving Lend-Lease aid. To Speak Over Radio Next Friday Afternoon -« The Hon. E. S. Peel, candidate for Elector from the First Congression District and Gfcairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Martin County, will speak over Station WRRF in Washington, Fri day, October 27th, from 2:15 to 2:30.

Dr. Biggs is one of the foremost citizens of Martin County. The United War Works Campaign begins November 11th, Chairman L. | T Fowden asks every lover of hu manity in Martin County to help raise the county’s quota, $9,000. Friends in town have learned that Jennings King, formerly in the to bacco business here with his father, has arrived overseas safely. Martin County was one of the 100 per cent counties in the War Savings Campaign. Our percentage accord- j ing to allotment was 108.

Wounded in the left arm, the young man recently wrote his moth er and staged that he was sending the decoration home. It was award ed him on September 30th. | REGISTRATION I That Martin County people plan to participate in the com ing election in big numbers is evidenced by the unusually large registration reported by the two local precinct registrars late last Saturday. While the registration is not of record size, it is much larger than usual and far larger than was expected. Registrar J. If. Edwards, re porting on the registration in the No. 1 precinct, stated that 33 new electors had been added to the list there, and O. S. Ander son, registrar for No. 2 precinct, reported 48 additional names. Very few of the number were those reaching voting ago. Sev eral transferred from other pre cincts and possibly a do%en came to this county from other coun ties or states, but the big ma jority is made up of those who, apparently showing more inter est in politics, are registering to vote for the first time. War Fund Subscribed Cross Roads Is Third To Exceed Goal and Goose Nest Is Second v --- l|*al of $5,321.58 Reported And Four Distriets Yet f To Be Heard From Extensive work by willing canvass ers over the week-end end yesterday virtually guaranteed success for the United War Fund now underway in this county. However, the forceful drive must be maintained if this county is to meet the solemn obli gation. Reporting on the campaign. Court ty Chairman N C. Green smd laofl night that $5,096.58 had been rais ed and banked up until that time, that other districts were making splendid progress and could be ex pected to file their first and in some cases complete reports later in the week. This county was asked to raise $9,537.02, and all but $4,476.44 has been raised and reported. It is estimated that $1,500 and possibly more has been raised in addition to the $5,096.58 but has not yet been reported. With five townships reporting, the fund last night stood as follows: Rear Grass Williamston Goose Nest Cross Roads Hamilton: Quota Amt. raised $ 450.00 $ 490.28 3,277.02 3,497.61 300.00 442.69 350.00 381.00 Hamilton Jamesville Williams Griffins Robersonville Poplar Point Hassell 100.00 85.00 275.00 200.00 650.00 150.00 450.00 1,500.00 135.00 Totals $9,537.02 $5,096.58 Bear Grass, after leading the way over tiie top, was closely followed by Goose Nest where Mr. Joe Ayers and his workers did a splendid job. Ral lying behind the movement, the cit izens of that township oversubscrib ed the quota by $142.69. While the amount is not large, to be sure, the figures will be read, no doubt, with great interest by the boys from that district and other parts of the coun ty who are slugging it out face to face with the enemy on the far-flung battlefronts. Hardly before the Goose Nest re port was received, Cross Roads came in with its goal of $350 reached and passed. Mrs. A. P. Barnhill, chair man, and her assistants did an ef fective job there. . The reports ate. very encouraging throughout the county with one pos sible exception. No detailed reports bee-ir Williams, Griffins, Robersonville and Poplar Point, but in nearly every one of those districts, the chairmen state they are fairly certain the goal will be reached. Mrs. J. Eason Lilley, chairman for Griffins, stated last evening that they were a bit iate in getting started, but that approxi mately $225 of the $450 quota had been raised. When Chairman Green visited several of the townships yes terday afternoon he was advised that Hassell would raise the remainder of its quota shortly and that Hamil ton could be expected to measure up. No direct word has been receiv ed from Jamesville and Poplar Point up until late yesterday. Williams, almost guaranteeing its share, did (Continued on page six) -— Mayor Issues Navy Day Proclamation Whereas, The United States Navy is the Vanguard of our victorious of fensives against the enemy, and, Whereas, our Naval forces now constitute the mightiest fleet in the history of the world’s navys, and, Whereas, the surface, undersea and air arms of our fleet now hold al most complete superiority over those of the enemy, and, Whereas, the unprecedented suc cess of our Navy in putting allied ground forces ashore on hostile bat tlefronts throughout the world has been magnificent, and, Whereas, by national tradition the recognition of the people of the United States owe their Navy is an nually emphasized by setting aside of otie cfay to acclaim that branch Of our armed forces; Therefore, I J. L. Hassell, Mayor of the Town of Williarnston, hereby 'proclaim Friday, October 27, 1944, as Navy Day, and call upon you, the citizens of Williarnston, to take part in observance of this fitting tribute through the many channels open to you, arid to join in this salute to the United States Navy, ana its coordi nated sea-going might, the Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Naval Avia tion. TOBACCO SALES r i j Spurn'd by an extra holiday in the market schedule last week and possibly influenced by a slightly better quality leaf, to bacco sale* pushed right to the 44-cent average price here last Friday, early reports from the market today stating that the price trend continued firm and that another sales record for the season was in prospect. Last Friday, the market sold 239.480 pounds for $103,216.57, boosting the sales for the season to 7,475,486. A total of $3,182, 064.49 has been paid growers, the average being $42.57 per 100 pounds for the season to date. Kgg®^ ►haem is still moving to the local market in volume and sales today will push the total to around seven and three-quarter 'tniHiea pounds. The big rash is believed about over, and deliv eries and sales are expected to run fairly close together after this week. Cigarette Scarcity Not Traceable To Tobacco Shortage —*— Supply Hi is Year Ninety-three Million Pounds in Excess Of Disappearance It lias been found by facts furn ished us by the United States De partment of Agriculture that an adequate supply of flue-cured tobac co is on hand to meet domestic and export requirements. Manufacturers and dealers report stocks of 1,187, 630,000 pounds of flue-cured tobacco on July 1, 1044. Of this about one billion pounds were available to domestic manufacturers. Since do mestic manufacturers used about 650 million pounds during the year end ing June 30, 1044, the July stock rep resents 16 months supply. The cur rent crop estimated at 1,072,000,000 pounds will at least maintain stocks of domestic manufacturers and will likely meet export demands. Domes tic consumption and exports amount ed to 080 million pounds for the year ending June 30, 1044. The produc tion of 1,072,000,000 pounds in 1044 is 03.000,000 pounds more than dis appearance was last year. Accord ingly, the allotment to manufactur ers from the 1044 crop will exceed the amount used by them for twelve month period ending June 30, 1044. Tobacco farmers have demonslrat spite ol the shortage of labor, equip rnent and supplies their ability to meet all the requirements for flue cured tobacco. Under the present program as provided by law, if in creased supplies are found to be Heeded, expansion of tobacco acre age can be had to meet such de mand. Farmers are ready, willing, and able to meet all of the demands for the production of tobacco at a fair price. The tobacco control pro gram is equitable to all farmers; small farmers, tenants, and share croppers, as well as landlords, and even to new growers who care to come in under the program, as five per cent of the national allotment may be set aside for the new grow ers. Every tobacco grower, be he landlord, tenant, or share-cropper, has an equal vote in this program. Farmers overwhelmingly express ed themselves in favor of a control program in 1043 by a vote of ten to one. In recognition of this Congress directed that quotas be proclaimed for 1044, 1045, and 1046. What could be a mere complete demonstration (Continued on page six) Enjoys Articles In Enterprise Edition The Enterprise tobacco edition has been received by hundreds of boys in the service overseas, and reports and comments are now coming in. Writing to Mr. C. B. Hassell, Jer ry Manning, U. S. Navy, said, m part: “I’d like to take this oppor tunity to thank you for your inter esting articles in the tobacco edition of The Enterprise. I especially en joyed the one about the town’s mi gration from the hill.’’ The young man went on to say that he recently met Bernard Harri son from Williamston, and express ed the hope that after being in the Pacific since February of last year that he would soon be coming home. In concluding his letter to Mr. Has sell, Jerry said, "Am sure all the Williamstou bwya uiviij' from home appreciated the articles as much as I did.” liiissiaa AnniesTvrF Pushing Offensive O Into East Prussia Americans Advancing on Roth Ends of 20-Mili* Front In Philippine!* Little news has come from the Americans on the Western Front during the past few days, leading some observers to predict a great offensive in several sectors there shortly. During the meantime, Rus sian Armies are carving out large hunks of German territory in what appears to hi' a great offensive drive into East Prussia. The Russians, ac cording to late reports, have driven well over thirty-five miles into the enemy’s “holy land.” Hundreds of villages and towns have fallen to the invading forces, and several im portant junctions have either fallen or are now surrounded by the Rus sian forces, At the same time, the Russians are pushing a great drive toward Austria through Hungary. The British and Canadians iiave re ported important progress along their fronts, and i* is expected that the Americans will chime in with a master blow that may send Hitler and his gang rollicking hack into Berlin and make possible the ear ly defeat of Germany. Confusing reports have been hear d on the Canadian attempt to free the approaches to Antwerp harbor. The Canadian forces were said to have been forced to evacuate Breskens »t the mouth of the Schelde. However, late reports state that the Canadians have bettered their positions there and pushed ahead to trap a sizable enemy force. In Italy, gains have been scored by both the American Fifth and British Eighth Armies, the progress having been marked by bitter fighting. In the Pacific theater, American forces have made important gains at both ends of the twenty-mile front on Leyte and cleared the way for a drive into the valley. Two airfields taken from the Japs wdl be placed in use today or tomor row, and a pro grain of expansion is already in evi dence. Late reports state that in ad dilion to the gains on Leyte other small islands in the area have been taken by the Americans. A drive is on to isolate the big island of Mindanao to the south and cut the enemy’s sea lifelife. How ever, the prospects are not very bright for the early liberation of all the Philippines. Some believe that the task can hardly Ire completed be fore March. It has been announced that Pepe (Continued on page six) Kiwanians Observe “Ladies Night'” Here ■I ■ ’ll — m ■ in' IIMWWWW—1> "Ladies Night" last Thursday and had as its special quests the faculty of both the Williamston grammar and high schools. Local talent was used throughout the program und many expressed the opinion that it was one of the most enjoyable enter tainments ever experienced by the local Kiwunians and their annual guests. The "before and aft" of the pro gram was under the direction of the President, Dave Davis, who intro duced Kiwaninn Bruce Wynne, char ter member of the club, program chairman and master of ceremon ies. Aflcr the introduction of the spec nil guests by the president and the teachers by Supt. J. C. Manning, the program gathered momentum when Mrs. John Goff and her husband, Rev. John Goff, publicly entered in to a debate with the following query, “Resolved that the wife should take charge of the family purse.” The af firmative, naturally, was supported by Mrs. Goff who lost the argument when the judges consisting of three r men and one woman rendered a verdict in favor of the Preacher. Hugh Horton gave a toast to the ladies, and Miss Ann Golden, mem ber of the high school faculty, flat tered tin- men. Both resorted to poetry and they were brief in their remarks, but it might be said, "to the point.” Miss Ida Privette sang, “The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise” and “Homing.” It was Miss Privette’s first appearance before many of the Ki wanians and both numbers were ap preciated and enjoyed. Four tired old men, Garland Wool ard, Bill Glover, Jim Eubanks and Meyer Levin, were called upon to enter a contest in which they don ned women’s clothing. Bill Glover won the contest with Jim Eubanks running a close second. The last number of the program was an IQ contest with Mrs. Paul Simpson, and Misses Estelle Craw ford and Mary Whitley and Mrs. Gene Kimball participating. Silver dollars were not used but Walter Martin gave liberally many pack age.- of chewing gum to the four wo men who answered moat all the I questions correctly.
