* The USS Sangamonj
First Class Seaman Rudolph
Hopkins Is Undergoing
Hospital Treatment
As a member of the crew of the es
cort carrier, USS Sangamon, Seaman
1/c Rudolph Hopkins, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Hopkins of Everetts, re
cently reviewed the record of the ship
and its near-death blow received in
the Pacific fight last May 4. His
story, submitted with pictures show
ing the terrible wreckage exacted by
a Jap suicide pilot, follows:
“After a career of combat which
stretches soldily from North Africa
to Okinawa, the USS Sangamon fin
ally had to return home heavily da
maged by the enemy.
"For the Sangamon it was the first
serious damage in a combat career
which began with the liberation of
North Africa and took the ship to
Tarawa, the MarshaJJg^j •
New Guinea, the Philippines and the
Ryukus. Save only for Lingayen
Gulf and Iwo Jima, her battle log is
the record of American progress
from the Central and South Pacific to
the shores of Japan.
“When she was damaged, which
was immediately after she had been
helping to destroy the Japanese air
force in the southern Ryukus, she
was hit by a two-engine Japanese
bomber, which crashed on the Saga
mon's broad flight deck off Kerama
Retto, near Okinawa, at 7:33 p. m., on
May 4, 1945.
“Twelve Japanese planes started
out on the suicide party which had
the Sagamon as its target. To a man,
the crew of the Sangamon knew
there was trouble in the sky that
night, for the sky was carpeted with
low grey and black clouds, interlac
ed to the west with brilliant, confus
ing colors—a perfect skyscape for the
work of the kamikaze pilot, who lik
ed to hide as he goes about his job.
“Nine of those twelve planes fell
victim to Marine F4U Corsairs as the
enemy headed for Kerama Retto. A
tenth Jap fled. An eleventh Jap, fly
ing a single-engine fighter, tried to I
be a kamikaze but was shot down by
ship’s gunfire. The twelfth plane,
the two-engine bomber, escaped that
gunfire by plunging into a black
cloud astern of the ship.
Waiting tensely at their guns,
members of the Sagamon crew knew
that their enemy would return, and
he did. Already in his death dive
and traveling nearly 400 miles an
hour, he plummeted out of the dense
black colud into the last rays of the
sunset. As the Sangamon and the
USS Fullam, an escorting destroyer
took him under fire with all guns, he
leveled out slightly, nosed over again
in a shallow dive, took hits, burst in
to flames about 600 yards from the
carrier, dropped a bomb and crashed
simultaneously into the center of the
flight deck.
“For five hours the Sangamon (
burned, and for five hours the crew
fought and finally whipped the fire.
They fought without communica
tions, sometimes without control of
the ship and sometimes without wat
er pressure. They fought and won,
despite the fact that the fire divided
the ship in two, making it impossible
for those in the forward position to ,
reach those on the after part.
The ship was saved in the words
of Lieutenant Lloyd R. Sorenson,
USNR, ‘by the individual efforts of
unnumbered and for the most part
unnamed little people who dug a
greatness up from the depths of
themselves somehow, and did what
had to be done, and did it effective
ly—that is what saved the ship.’
“ ‘It was sheer intestinal fortitude
that put out those savage flames,’
said Captain A. I. Malstrom. ‘Never
did a group of men show more cour
age and initiative in the face of over
whelming odds’,” Hopkins was quot

Report Busy Time
Around Courthouse
—*—
October was a busy period for local
and county officers in and around
the Martin County courthouse.
According tc information gained
from a review of the monthly re
ports, sixty-eight persons were ar
rested and jailed during the past
month. This number does not in
clude about one hundred persons who
were either arrested and gave bond
or who were cited to appear in court
to answer civil complaints. The of
fice of the sheriff served 76 papers,
about half of them being civil. Fees
for handling the service amount to
$163.50.
The county court was busy collect
ing $1,645.00 in fines, not to mention
$1,115.95 collected as costs.
Quite a few investigations were
made by the officers.
The tax collector s office was fairiy
busy handling record collections.
The register of deeds’ office report
ed a spurt in realty transfers, bor
rowing and the issuance of delayed
birth certificates.
In addition to routine work, con
tractors were busy repairing the
walls around the old hall of justice.
BigRealEstateAnd Timber
Several deeds, involving the larg
est real estate and timber deals re
ported in this county in quite some
time, were filed in the office of Reg
ister of Deeds J. Sam Getfingor a
few days ago The exact amounts
could not be learned, but one of the
deals involved a purchase price of
more than $630,234, and it is believed
that the combined transactions rep
resent a price exceeding possibly
three-quarters of a million dollars.
Granted by quite a few persons,
operating the Foreman-Blades Com
pany, the deeds were issued to the
Foreman - Derrickson Corporation,
and it is understood that the hold
ings have since changed hands. The
documents showing a more recent
sale have not been received by the
register of deeds office in this coun
ty.
The largest tract covered by the
[ doeds filed a few days ago is known
as the Simmons-Grandy swamp on
Roanoke River. The purchase price
for the approximately 5,082 acres
was listed in the deed at $830,234.80,
and the deed carried document or
revenue stamps in the amount of
$693.55.
In addition to the sale of the Sim
mons-Grandy, timber options and
possibly real estate sales were cover
ed in other papers. No amounts list
ed. but judging from the amount of
the revenue stamps on the papers, at
least $90,000 was involved in the
sales. Grantors included W. W. Grif
fin, T. B. Slade and others.
No such large tracts of timber
lands are to be found on the county
tax books, indicating that the deeds
covered several combined pieces of
land.

TOBACCO SALES i
v--—- mm. *
Tobacco sales on the local mar
ket are dwindling: rapidly, and it
is fairly certain that the season
will close within a week or ten
days. Yesterday, the market
sold 15,430 pounds, the smallest
amount handled on any day this
season, lip until this morning:
the market had sold 11,128,470
pounds for an average of about
$44.25 per hundred.
No definite closing date has
been fixed for the market, but
according to one official report
proprietors of two of the houses
plan to close on Thursday of
next week.
Oil Dealers Attend
Meeting Wednesday
^ *
Discussing the reconversion period,
R. R. Gentry, North Carolina repre
sentative for the Texas Oil Company,
declared that a great boom is in store
for this country during the next five
years. Addressing nearly 100 Texa
co dealers gathered in the Woman’s
Club hall as guests of the Harrison
Oil Company, Mr. Gentry reviewed
the big demand backlog and declared
that the oil dealer had a vital part in
the reconversion program. “Millions
of ccrs are to be built. Highway
construction will run into big figures,
and several million homes are need
ed,” he explained, adding that bil
lions in savings were ready to enter
the markets.
After outlining a business program
for station operators, Mr. Gentry out- j
lined his company’s program for the
reconversion period, declaring that j
his company is making and will have
available soon new and improved
products—“the finest ever made."
The guests including district rep
resentatives from Virginia and
Greensboro, were served a turkey
supper.
Held annually by the Harrison Oil
Company until the war broke out,
the supper last Wednesday evening
was the first scheduled by the local
firm in four years.

Docket Laet Monday Smallest
Handled By Court In
Recent Weeks
-*
Judge J. Calvin Smith called fif
teen cases in the Martin County Re
corder’s Court last Monday. The
docket was one of the smallest hand
led by the court in recent weeks, and
instead of remaining in session all
day, the officers completed their
work and were out and gone before
the noon hour. The session attracted
a fairly large crowd and, for a
change, there were more white
than colored spectators present.
Proceedings:

Berry Wynne was sentenced to the
roads for nine months, the court sus
pending the sentence for two years
upon the payment of a $20 fine and

—<$>—
Donations In Hand But Not
Yet Reported Expected
To Roost Total
According to the latest available
report, just about one-half of the
$13,232.96 United War Fund quota
assigned this county has been raised,
and renewed appeals are going out,
urging every Martin County citizen
to rally behind the drive in its last
days and help salvage the worthy
cause and head off a rotten record
thant can plague the people back
home for generations to come.
Sick home, possibly as a re
sult of the feeble showing made to
date, Chairman Clarence W. Griffin
could not be reached for a detailed
report today, but in the sincere hope
that the people of this county will
come together in support of the drive
in its last days, he suggested that
the names of the canvassers be listed
with the view that those who have
already contributed will donate more
and that others who were not con
tacted will turn sizable donations
over to their nearest canvasser. The
| entire list of canvassers could not be
had for all the county in time for
publication today, but possibly the
names can be had by early next
I week. During the meantime, contri
1 butions may be mailed to H. A. Bow
en, United War Fund Treasurer,
Williamston, and they will be credit
ed to the proper district.
Since the last report was made,
several canvassers have submitted
their lists, boosting the total collect
ed and acutally turned in in time to
be added late yesterday to $5,057.17.
Several of the colored schools in
the county have made splendid re
cords, but outside the schools the re
ports are almost tragic, they are so
small.
In addition to Dardens, Biggs re
ported $86.85, Woolard $50.15;
Smithwick’s, $50. and Poplar Point,
$30. These reports will stand up
with those from anywhere in the
county, and those in charge of the
canvass and the contributors are to
be congratulated.

No reports have been received
from Robersonville, Hassell, Hamil
ton or Goose Nest. All of the can
vassers in Williamston have not yet
reported. It is believed that the de
layed reports will show as of the
present time just about $7,000.
The drive is being extended in the
hope that the good and thoughtful
people of Martin County will rally
behind the drive and help put it
across, or certainly push it nearer
the goal, which, after all, is small
measured against the ability to con
tribute.
Martin County s record to date has
already attracted attention in high •

Historical Review
Division In Europe
Several Marlin County Young
Mon Srrveil In Battles
Willi The Thirtieth
(Tlu' story below reviews the
glorious part the Thirtieth (Oid
Hickory) Division had in winning
World War II. Since several Martin
County boys were in the Division,
the record most certainly will be
read with interest in this county.)
The first of the installments fol
lows:
War heroes don't wear big signs to
advertis« their deeds. A chest full
of ribbons can’t begin to tell the true
story of gallant sacrifice made by the
U. S. fighting men. When the red
and blue oval patch of the 30th (Old
Hickory) Infantry Division, howev
er, is seen flashing on a khaki-clad
shoulder, there you can be sure is one
of tin- men of distinguished valor in
the terrible struggle ended in Eu
Had military security permitted,
the name Oid Hickory would have
been an mg the foremost in the his
tory-making (leadlines during the
months in which Hiller's legions wore
being beaten. The bold black arrows
on the war maps, showing the course
and breath-taking progress of our
men, had not operations freqnently
been cloaked in great secrecy, would
have almost daily carried the num
ber of the gallant “30th”. Old Hick
ory, the Division born of men from
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee, is a sterling monu
ment to the finest traditions of the
Southland.
From June 15, 1944.J D-Day plus 9
—when the well trained men of the
yet untried Division landed on Oma
ha Beach of the Normandy penin
sula, to V-E Day, when they met the
Russian forces on the Elbe River,
many new honors were heaped daily
by the men of the Old Hickory Di
vision on 11k heritage left by their
fathers in World War I. Their cour
age, determination and valiant spirit
throughout five major campaigns,
which brought over 9,000 high mili
tary decorations is a record to be
studied with pride.
The Division’s enviable record be
gan in World War 1 when it partici
pated in three victorious Allied
drives in France the Ypres-Lys and
Somnies offensives and the smashing
of the llindenburg line when its
members returned to the United
States for demobilization in May,
1919, they had earned more than half
of the British decorations giVen to
American troops and 12 of the 7ti
Medals of Honor awarded by the
Congress of the United States.
With the background of effective
ness in combat, the 30th retained its
identity as a National Guard unit
during the peace years and was re
called into federal service September
Hi, 1940 at Fort Jackson, S. C.,, where
it lias recently returned after its
triumphs in the ETO. As activated
for World War I at Camp Sevier,
Greenville, S C., in July, 1917, the
roots of the Division again reached
into the soil and hills of the South.
Following preliminary training at
l ol l Jackson, the Division participat
ed in the 1st and 2nd Army maneu
vers from June to November, 1941,
the largest peace time maneuvers
ever held in the United States.
