ESTABLISHED 1899 Treasury Secretary - Battfe^igaliFrUI ^frrem —<$>— Vinson Urges Repeal Of Tax Affecting Groups With Small Incomes rfa Washington.—Secretary of the Treasury Fred M. Vinson has laid the groundwork for a battle in the Senate over the Republican conces sions to rich taxpayers by showing that the House tax bill means almost doubling the incomes, after taxes, of millionaires. Vinson noted that the amendment by Rep. Harold Knutson (R.-Minn ), to provide a minimum tax cut of 10 per cent for taxpayers making more than $20,000 a year would give them much more benefit, proportionately, than the relief given to those in the lower brackets. Pointing out that the amendment would give the rich taxpayers a big ger increase in their income after j taxes, Vinson said 'For examp.c, d mmed taxpay er with no dependents having a net income *100,000 would have hi. income after taxes increased by 22.8 per cent while a similar taxpayer with an income of $5000 would have his income after taxes increased by 4.3 per cent. "Moreover the House provision would relieve taxpayers in income brackets above $100,000 of a dispro portionate part of their wartime tax increases. For example, a married taxpayer with no dependents having a net income of $500,000 would re ceive a reduction equal to 32 per cent of the increase since 1939; the com parable percentage for an income of $5000 is 19.6 per cent.” Vinson filed with the Committee a table showing that the Knutson amendment would give a married man with a million dollar income a 90 per cent increase in his income after taxes; while the married man with an income of only $800 would get an increase of only 1.1 per cent. Vinson strongly appealed to the Senators to adopt his proposal for exempting the 12,000,000 low in come families at the bottom of the income tax scale by repeal of the 3 per cent normal tax. Taking issue with Chairman Wal ter George (D., Ga.), who has said this would relieve too many people of paying income taxes, Vinson said the victory tax was a special war time lax that "violates a funda mental principle of the individual in come tax—namely, that tax burdens should be adjusted to differences in family responsibility.” "We need only to examine the facts,” he said, "to see that the vic tory-normal tax imposes undue bur dens on families and single persons with dependents. In the average situation, a family of four, con sisting of husband and wife and two children, with a net income of $1500 should not be called upon in time of peace to pay taxes on two-thirds or any other part of its net income. “Similarly, a family of six or seven should not be called upon to pay as much as a family of four with the same income. But the existing nor mal tax (which hits all income above $500 a year) is the same for both.” Replying directly to George’s criticism, Vinson said even with the exemptions he proposed there still would be 10 times as many income taxpayers as there were in 1938. He said repeal of the victory-normal tax would be "one of the best forms of tax reduction for maintenance of mass purchasing power.” Janiesville Parents And Teachers Meet —*— Meeting last Tuesday, Jamesville parents and teachers installed new officers for the association as fol lows: Elmer Modlin, president; Jesse Khue, vice president, Mrs. J. F. Saw yer. secretary, and V. B. Hairr, treas urer. The third and fourth grades under the direction of Mrs. Chas. Davenport and Mrs. Effie Holliday, conducted the devotional. During the meeting, committees re ported and discussions were centered on a lunch room, agricultural build ing and dressing rooms for the gym nasium. The association is providing lib rarian’s services, relieving the teach ers of much responsibility. Each child has the privilege of getting the full use of books and periodicals, and the public is invited to visit the lib rary. The association will hold its nexl meeting on Tuesday, November 13. Veterans Buying Surplus War Property For Otcn Use ■<$>-— Quite a few World War II veterans are purchasing surplus property from the government for use in their own business. Attending a Smaller War Plants Corporation Surplus Pro perly Sale at Fort Bragg a few days ago. Veteran George Lee Roberson of Williamston purchased a truck to haul oysters from the coast to vari ous points inland. The sale of Jeeps is rather limited, unofficial reports stating that less than 10,000 of the vehicles are avail able to the general public. Post Office Here Just A Little SiioiTV)fA Firsf Class Rating After holding to the high s:de in second-class ratings for several years, Williamston’s post office now has a fairly good chance of taking a first class position if current quarter re ceipts show any appreciable gain over those for the corresponding per iod in 1944, postal authorities pointed out following a study of business handled by the office. To annex a first class rating the office will have to handle $2,679.00 more business be tween now and the first of the year than it handled a year ago, Postmas ter W. E. Dunn pointed out. If the office handles even the same busi ness it handled a year ago, total re ceipts will amount to $37,321.58, an amount just $2,679.00 short of the $40,000 quota for a first-class office, it was explained. During the first quarter of this year, stamp sales at the local office amounted to $9,421.25 as compared with $7,649.88 reported in the first vr\n fund After unavoidable delays, the United War Fund in Wrilliamston got off to a fast start yesterday when nearly $2,000.00 was raised by the special gifts committee and a few other individual can vassers. Exclusive of the special gifts committee which completed about half of its canvass yester day, only four individuals had reported. Some of the reports were said not to be very encour aging, while others explained that individuals were accepting larger quotas. No complete reports have been received from any of the dis tricts so far, but the drive, ac cording to Chairman Clarence W. Griffin, is gaining momentum daily and several of the districts are expected to go over the top early next week. During the meantime another earnest plea is being directed to the people of Martin County, begging them to support the drive to the fullest possible extent and not let the bovs down or desert the helpless in many lands. County Home Agent Is Quitting Her Job —» Miss Mildred Pigg, after serving since June 1, 1943, as home agent for this county recently tendered her resignation effective the first of next month, it was announced this week. Miss Pigg has done an able and ef fective work in the county, and her resignation is being received with re luctance. While she has apparently enjoyed her work in the county, Miss Pigg offered very little comment other than that she hated to give up the work and quit the county. It is possible that she is resigning in the interest of her health. Commenting on Miss Pigg's work as home agent, Miss Pauline Smith, district agent, said that she had con tributed greatly to the program in Martin County, that it is stronger as a result of the present set-up in the county. Miss Pigg has made many lasting friendships during the little more than two years she has spent in the county, and her co-workers and friends learn of her resignation with 1 egret. Her successor has not been named, but several applications are being considered. During the meantime, Mrs. Margarctte Pearce, assistant agent, will act until the position is filled possibly some time in early December. Local Man Director Of Peanut Council » — G. H. Harrison of the Williamston Peanut Company was recently nam ed a member of the Board of Manag ers of the Virginia-Carolina Peanut Association at a meeting of the or ganization held in Suffolk. He was also elected a director of the Na tional Peanut Council, an organiza tion created on a nation-wide scale to promote the consumption of more peanuts and peanut products. The Virginia-Carolina Peanut As sociation is made up of twenty pea nut companies operating in North Carolina and Virginia and is one of the largest of its kind in the world. i POOR CROP Martin County farmers are now harvesting their sweet pota to crops, but early reports do not point to anything like normal production. The labor shortage is a problem in most cases, but some farmers declare that pro duction is so limited they will not even har vest their crops. “We’ll possibly get enough po tatoes from four acres for our own use, but that’ll be just about all,” one fanner was quoted as saying yesterday. liiree months of 1944. In the second quarter of this year, stamp sales amounted to $8,448.47, a gain of $1, 121.40 over the 1944 second quarter income. Last quarter, sales were $8, 734.33. The proportionate gain was fairly small, however, over the 1944 third quarter figures. Total stamp sales in the first nine months of 1945 amount to $26,604.06, an amount $3, 165.36 larger than the income for the first nine months in 1944. In the fourth quarter of 1944, stamp sales were about $2,000 greater than they were in the corresponding period in 1943. If the same ratio of increase is maintained, the office will push close to or reach the $40,000 first class goal. Money order business, placed at $132,709.38 for the first nine months of this year, is $17,267.95 greater than it was in the corresponding period, 1944, the office here reported. ffigiit Changes hi !

Large Liquor Plant Captured lit Coun+y JfflffldiiiH iai I aKerf Raid Was Largest Reported By ABC Officer Roebuck In Recent Months The illicit liquor business, main tained on a rather limited scale dur ing recent months, flared into the limelight last Friday when Officers J. H. Roebuck, C. B. Roebuck, Roy Peel, Wade Griffin and W. S. Hunt found and wrecked a large plant on the Robersonville-Stokes Highway, not far from Robersonville. It was a combination plant with a capacity far above the average. Powered by steam, the plant was equipped with two 50-gallon capac ity wood stills, a 50-gallon capacity tin still and a 10-gallon capacity tin still, a large doubler and cooler, and three 500-gallon capacity fermenters. Only 100 gallons of molasses beer were found at the plant when the of ficers moved in and dynamited the outfit. Armed with a search warrant, the officers went to the home of Warren Farmer, several hundred yards from the still, and found a large quantity of equipment allegedly held for the manufacture of illicit liquors. Far mer welcomed the searching party, and explained that any materials found on his premises for making liquor were not his. In an out building the officers found the fol lowing equipment: ten 5-gallon cans of molasses, one lard stand of mo lasses, six one-gallon jugs of molass es, three 50-pound bags of corn meal, one bag of chicken scratch feed, two 5-gallon glass jugs, two 10-gallon kegs, one roll of tin, presumably held on hand for making a still, and a siphon hose. Herman Farmer, admitting the property belonged to him, was plac ed under bond in the sum of $300 for his appearance in the county court next Monday. It was reported that Farmer, a single man, was considering bringing action against the officers for seizing the property. Local faycees Get Charter This Week Climaxing organizational prolimin-1 aries that have been underway here for the past few weeks pending its formal acceptance into the State or ganization, the Williamston Junior Chamber of Commerce held its char ter night meeting here last Monday evening with a banquet in the local Woman’s Club.

I Price Average On The Local j Market Highest In The State ■mm*—- MatinJiln ■j»n According to an official report just recently released by the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture in co operation with the Production and Marketing Administration of the fed eral government, the W'lliamston Tobacco Market led the entire Bright Tobacco Belt with the highest price average for sales through last month. The market, the report shows, sold 6,395,226 pounds for an official average of $44.29 per 100 pounds, a figure $1.02 per hundred higher than the general average for the belt, and $1.31 per hundred pounds above the average reported by Wilson. The price this year is $1.47 above the average for the cor responding period in 1944, the report shows. There was a slight decrease in to bacco prices in early October, but the local market weathered the glut re markably well, and according to un official hut reliable reports the price average to date hovers right close to the figure reported at the close of business as of September 28. During the past four selling days, the price trend has been decidedly on the upward trend here, averaging just a fraction under $47.00 per bun dred having been reported day after day. Sales have been holding up unus ually well, and it is now believed that the market will si'll nearer elev en million than ten million pounds before the season closes. Through yesterday the market had sold !), 433,342 pounds for $4,147,424.72 or an average right at $44.00 per him dred. A fairly heavy poundage is on the floors today with prices holding their own. Little Hope Is Held For Peanut Quotas in 1946 Representatives Say Price Reduction Is Considered Certain —»— (Inofficial Reports Say Early Sale* Averaging Around Six Cents In Georgia Anything but a bright future for the lowly peanut is now being pre dicted following a conference held by growers and U. S. agricultural authorities in Washington City early this week. No official reports have been received from the conference, but it is believed by some that the peanut so much in demand during • he war as a source of oil and food is now to lead the decline in general farm commodity prices. Returning this week from the con ference which he attended as a di rector of the Growers Peanut Coop erative, M. Luther Peel, Martin Coun ty farmer, said yesterday that there is little prospect for establishing pea nut quotas for the 1940 crop. There are too many new growers in Ala bama, Georgia, Texas and other states to carry the control program should quotas be submitted to a vote, he said, explaining that was the concensus of opinion expressed at the conference in Washington on Mon day and Tuesday of this week. Virtually convinced that produc tion control is out of the picture, the grower representatives went on to protest the proposed plan for estab lishing peanut support prices. It has been pointed out that not even the United States government can sup port anything like parity prices when production is unlimited. At the same time, production control is given up for lost for 1946, and if quotas are voted on and do not carry the gov ernment would be relieved of any obligation to peg prices. Without a control program, it is proposed to establish a dual standard for price support. The two-price or “blended” system to compute support prices was men (Continued on page four) Three Persons Hurt Wednesday Evening —$— Three persons were hurt, one of them seriously, last Wednesday eve ning at 6:30 o’clock when two cars crashed on Highway 17 near Pecan Glove farm. Roosevelt Brown, colored man, suffered a broken neck, and Mrs. Walter E. Bair was painfully cut about the face and neck and her hus band was cut on the nose. Randall Brown, driving Roosevelt Brown’s four-door sport sedan to ward Washington, slowed down to make a left turn, and Barr, driving a 1939 tudor sedan, crashed into the rear of the Brown car, knocking it about 90 feet down the highway. Brown said that he gave a signal for a turn, but Barr said he did not see the car until he hit it. Mrs. Barr was thrown partly through the wind shield and she lost her brown pocket book containing a small amount of money and about $150 worth of jew elry. Patrolman W. E Saunders, investi gating the accident, estimated the property damage at about $600. Thomas Earl llryant. Five Months Old, Dies in Hospital -« Thomas Earl, five-months-old son 101 Mr. and Mrs. ri.

Funeral services will be conducted at the home on Watts Street this afternoon at 4 o’clcok and burial will follow in the Oxford cemetery. about <:o\ii*li;h: V i j Martin County farmers have just about completed the 1945 l>eaniit harvest but not until they hail experienced almost insur mountable obstacles. The Brow ers are agreed that the harvest was the most dofficult they bail ever handled. Wet weather had made cultivation impossible and Brass had just about taken over in most fields. The ground was wet and it was a mean task to free the goobers of dirt. Work ers were limited in number and the task has dragged for weeks. Most farmers declare they have hardly half a crop, but an occasional farmer declares he is expecting about normal produc tion. While a few farmers are still digging, Farmer Joe Lawrence Coltrain was reported to have started threshing I lie first of the crop today in Williams Town ship. Pickers will start running in fairly large numbers next week.

Ask Local Capital For Freezer Plant Plans for a freezer-locker plant in this county were temporarily delay ed this week when a call for local capital was made. With three pro posals before them, representatives at a meeting with officials of Coad Associates in the agricultural build ing last Wednesday night were ad vised that local capital in the amount of eightei n or twenty thous and dollars would be needed in fin ancing the $50,000 project. Several county people at the meet ing pledged to take stock in the com pany and it is still believed that the plant will be built. Others are be ing contacted and the stock subscrip tion, according to one report, likely will be met within the next few days. While here Wednesday afternoon, officials of the company inspected several sites but no location was def initely selected. One of the officials commented that a lot just off South Haughton Street would make an ideal location for the plant. | Disappointment For Returning Soldiers ! ” -® Disappointment growing into dis sension is being reported on the home front following the return of service men from overseas. Reports state that quite a few of the relatives back home have cashed war bonds sent back by the servicemen to be saved. Quite a few of them are waking up to the thoughtless action taken by those at home. Savings that could have been boosted to several hundred dol lars have been squandered, the re turning service men arc learning in some cases.
