Former School Man Plant

-%
After serving about three years in
the Army, Harvey Yates, of Apex,
was recently given his honorable dis
charge and is now planning to return
to this county. Mr. Yates, a former
member of the Williamston school
faculty, has accepted a position as
math instructor in the Robersonville

S TOBACCO SALES |
l---*
Sales on the local tobacco mar
ket are approaching and will
pass the eleven million-pound
mark today with prices holding
firm for the most part.
Up until this morning the mar
i ket had sold 10,890,830 pounds
for $4,818,633.68, an average of
$44.25 per hundred pound*.
There has been a marked de
crease in the volume t? sales this
week from last, but they have
just about held their own on the
smaller scale since last Monday.
No closing date for the market
has been fixed, but it is fairly
certain that it will remain open
no more than two more weeks at
the longest.
! WAR FUND
V__
"\
Miserably missing its mark
during the allotted time, the
United War Fund Drive is being
extended in this county another
week or ten days, the various
chairmen addressing a renewed
appeal to Martin citizens, urging
them to get behind the move
ment and salvage it if humanly
possible.
With reports coming from five
townships, the drive in this coun
ty up until last evening had net
ted only $3,775.88, an amount
$7,467.08 short of the goal. Rob
ersonville is said to have raised
about $1,000, boosting the total to
5idaL;>t *4.775 88
Sr far the following have re
ported: Willismston $2,647.13;
Bear Grass, $307.70; Poplar
Point, $107.05; Cross Roads, $280;
Jamesville, $314, and Dardens,
$120.
It is quite apparent that some
of the canvassers appointed have
been delayed, and they are being
asked to complete the urgent
task as soon as possible.

Fund Drive Among
The Negro Citizens
Other than the ^>ne report from
Dardens, nothing had been heard
from the United War Fund Drive
among the Negro citizens until today
when a member of the Central Com
mittee for the five lower townships
stated that there is a strong deter
mination among the canvassers to
meet the $1,000 goal challenge. Dar
dens exceeded its goal, and is the
only district—-white or colored—to
meet the challenge and exceed the
quota.
“As yet. however, we do not have
the full assurance that all the Negro
citizens have been reached in the
worthy drive for suffering humanity,
so we are asking each one who has
not responded to his utmost to take
part in the whirl-wind move by con
tributing as liberally when solicited,"
a member of the colored citizens’
committee said.
The leaders are planning to carry
the appeal to others on Saturday
when public booths will be maintain
ed at three centers. “And please
don’t pass us by,” the committee
spokesman pleaded.

tending services regularly up until
just a short time ago.

Upin This County In October
f -1
After being held to possibly the
lowest point for any period in re
cent years, activities on the illicit li
quor front in this county broke out
of the summer slump to set up what
some call a normal record for Oc
tober. The business is far from any
activity peak, and the operators are
still experiencing shortages, but de
spite the handicaps they are trying
to turn out spirits of one kind or an
other.
Reporting his enforcement activi
ties for October, ABC Officer Joe H.
Roebuck stated that fourteen liquor
manufacturing plants were wrecked
during the period. Most of the plants
were of crude manufacture and poor
ly equipped. However, a 50-gallon
capacity copper kettle was found the
latter part of the month Very few
plants are equipped with copper stills
these days, the officer declared. As

County Colored Man
To Die For Murder
< iouiily Mini To <»o I )u
Trial About Tin* Mobile
Of This Month
Adjudged guilty m a Norfolk court
last Tuesday, Ernest Edward Fagan,
30-year-old Martin County colored
man, is to die in the electric chair
for the first-degree murder of Hor
ace H. Cox, 42-year-old automobile
dealer, in Norfolk last September 4
Fagan—a lithe, debonair man who
attended his trial in patent leather
shoes—was said to have heard the
verdict with the same unperturbed
calm he had displayed earlier in the
day while reciting to the jury details
of what the prosecution described as
"one of the most atrocious, most
shocking crimes ever perpetrated in
Norfolk."
In the audience which packed the
courtroom and heard the verdict
without demonstration were Cox’s
widow and mother and the defend
ant’s parents from near Williamston.
The verdict climaxed a two-day
trial which saw the Commonwealth
send witness after witness to the
stand to build up by both circum
stantial and direct evidence an over
whelming proof—-of- guilt
When the defendant himself went
on the stand his story coincided in all
essential particulars with that out
lined by Commonwealth’s Attorney
J. Sydney Smith, Jr.
Fagan and his accomplice, Frank
Peterson, 24-year-old Negro, who
is to be tried November lit on the
same charge, did not intend to kill
the used car dealer, Fagan told the
jury. They intended to rob him; but j
when Cox reached for his own re i
volver Fagan grabbed it, he testified
"I was so excited 1 didn’t know
whether to run or shoot,” the de
fendant said. "So I shot after I
was in it that far."
While Peterson shot twice with his
automatic Fagan wrested the revolv
er from Cox and shot him. Search
ing the dealer further for valuables,
they took his wrist watch and car,
drove to a friend’s house on Cumber
land Street and there divided the
spoils $1,31)0 in cash and the watch.
