Nine persons were hurt, several
badly, in a series of five automo

daughter, Lois, of near Williams

Hattie Clark, Mary Howell,
Erie Lee, Dollie Lee and Jesse B.
Black, of the Robersonville com

Melvin Biggs of. the Dardens
section.
Four of the accidents were in
this county, two in Williamston,
one near Dardens and one in Rob
ersonville. Property damage was
estimated at $1,150 by investigat
ing officers.
The first in the series of acci
dents was reported on Washing
ton Street here near the Sinclair
station late Friday night when
two cars, one driven by Ben
Frank Little and the other by Eh
Ayers, locked fenders. Officer
Keiscler, investigating the acci
dent, estimated the damage to
both cars at $25, and stated that
the action was settled when Ayers
accepted the costs. No one was
hurt.
Mr. and Mrs. Modlin and their
two children, Florence and Lois,
were driving on Smithwick Street
toward Maip late Saturday atter
noon when M. E. Reid, Parmele
school teacher, driving west on
section and struck thc^fodlin car,
a 1937 Ford sedan, causing it to
turn over on its side. Occupants
were pinned in the car for a short
time.
No one was badly hurt, but Mrs.
Modlin suffered back injuries and
Mr. Modlin had his arm and hand
cut slightly. Theii daughter,
Florence, wasn’t hurt at all, but
Lois was slightly scratched. All

accident, Officer Ballard stated

Marinrs Move Some Mail;
INo Marked Effect
Fell Lorally
cancelling sckefarit's *pt
^^days on account of a general
railroad strike, operators started
moving trains into and out of Wil
liamston yesterday. A special
train, generally known as the pulp
wood special, moved through here
Sunday after holding to its base in
Rocky Mount for two d; ys.
Nominal freight movements
were reported here yesterday,
railroad men declaring that the
train stoppage had made it possi
ble to catch up with their work,
that the embargo had turned back
very little freight at this point.
Three employees in the local of
fice were released for two days,
Saturday and Monday, but they
are back on their jobs today.
Coming at a time when very
few farm products move to mar
ket, no marked ill effects were felt
locally as a result of the two-day
strike. However, some shipments
of manufactured materials were
delayed, but they were not per
ishable and no loss resulted. In
other areas quite a few potatoes
were sidetracked.
Freight shipments to this sec
tion had such tough sledding dur
ing and since the war that a two
day delay hardly was noticed.
However, trans-continental traf
fic and travelers were cought in
a jam, and at least one person,
Mrs. V. G. Taylor, of this county
was delayed between California
and home.
Mail deliveries were held up for
the most part, but service between
here and Norfolk, Rocky Mount
and Columbia was maintained
without interruption. Mail and
newspapers from other areas were
under embargo, and the local post
office would accept nosecond
class matter or parcel posFmmntr
the two-day strike.
Marines started moving the
mails through here during the
strike, but they handled most sec
ond class material ordinarily han
dled over the Norfolk-Raleigh
trains. They brought mail here
from Norfolk and turned it over
to star route carriers for delivery
to Plymouth, Roper and Colum
bia.
The strike was settled last Sat
urday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock
just as President Harry Truman
appeared before a joint session of
Congress and called for drastic
legislation to meet the situation.

Bonner Receives
Big Majority In
Thirteen Counties
Gatos Only County To Give
Huniher a Majority,
Late Reports Show
Receiving a big majority vote in
thirteen of the fourteen counties
in the First Congressional district,
Herbert C. Bonner, Washington
man, was returned to Congress for
another two years in the demo
cratic primary last Saturday.
Complete returns are not yet
available, but latest available re
ports give him more than a two
to-one majority over his opponent,
Robert Lee Humber, Greenville
man.
In the state second senatorial
race, Hugh G. Horton, Williams
ton attorney led his nearest op
ponent by almost one thousand
votes, while John Rodman of
Washington defeated Roy Hamp
ton, Plymouth man, by about
1000 votes.
In the one strictly county con
test, Joshua L. Coltrain, incum
bent, defeated Leslie W. Hardison
of Jantesville by 2,'l(i votes for
county commissioner from the
JamesviHe-Williams District.
The total vote, falling slightly
under 3,000, was from 750 to 1,000
below expectations in this county.
It was smaller by approximately
200 than the one cast in a similar
primary four years ago. In the
congressional district the vote last
Saturday was nearly 4,000 below
^hc count recorded four years pre
viously, the winner failing by just
about 000 polling as many votes in
Beaufort Jounty as he did four
years ago.
According to the latest figures
based on unofficial reports, Bon
ner polled 11).70(1 votes to 9,167 by
Humber, and carried all of the
fourteen counties in the district
except one, Gates.
Most observers, including those
in both camps, had expected a
much closer vote, and the outcome
was surprising to most everyone
who had followed the campaign.
Without a doubt, the congres
sional campaign was marked by
the cheapest and most underhand
methods employed by politicians
in many years. Some observers
were actually expecting John L.
Lewis to enter the county on
election day. It was rumored
that Lewis McGowan, an alleged
strikebreaker and representative
of John L. and the CIO came into
the county from Charlotte the day
before the election. Few facts
could be learned about the man’s
work, however. At the same time,
one newspaper in the district in
directly, intentionally or uninten
tionally referred to the support
ers of one of the candidates as be
ing “fellow travelers” or “com
munists.” The campaign even
reached such a low point that in
nocent women and children were
attacked, and slurs reached Hit
(Continued on page six)
Primary Vote In County
Falling short of a predicted total by almost 1,000, the Mar
tin County vote in the last Saturday primary upset observers’
calculations, but failed to influence the results outside the
county and senatorial contests. In some instances a lopsided
vote was recorded with Bonner and Horton leading in every
one of the thirteen precincts while Coltrain forged ahead in
ten to win over Hardison by a 236 vote margin.

hrmrs 'Club To Head Food
Collection In This Area
Moved by the pitiful pleas com
ing from overseas, the local Lions
Club in cooperation with other or
ganizations are mapping a county
wide drive to help relieve the
starving condition in foreign
lands.
A committee headed by Hil
dreth Mobley and composed of K.
P. Lindsley, Roy Ward, D. V.
Clayton, Clyde Griffin, William
Everett, Clarence Griffin and
Homer Barnhill, is rapidly com
pleting plans for carrying the
most urgent appeal to several dis
tricts in the county. It was point
ed out that posibly the Roberson
ville Rotarians and the Oak City
Ruritans would push the drive in
their areas.
The local committee plans to
start the drive next Monday, June
3, centering first in the business
districts, and then spreading out
into the other towns and rural
communities. A booth is also be
ing planned, the committee stat
ing that it would call on the Boy
Scouts and Lions’ wives to ad
vance the drive there.
Since food can be handled in
cans only, the committee points
out that the drive will be for cash
donations, that conditions in so
many lands are so appalling that
liberal responses are vitally nec
essary if our people are to play
the role of real humanitarians.
The national director of the col
lection, Lee Marshall, stated in a
recent letter that the need is so
great and the situation so critical
that it would help if the solicitors
would not wait until the end of
the drive to remit their collec
tions. He urged them to send the
money just as soon as possible.
Our people are asked not to wait
until they are solicited, but for
ward their contributions to the
Lions Club, Williamston, or hand
it to a member of the committee
personally. Contributions will be
acknowledged.

Measles is such a common child
hood disease that mothers are apt
to look upon an attack as inevit
able for their children. They
think of measles as a necessary
evil, calling for extra attention to
the child, but nothing to worry
about.
It is a good thing, of course, for
the parent not to get excited when
junior has the measles—or any
other disease, for that matter. But
measles may have serious conse
quences, especially if the patient
is very young, and should not be
dismissed lightly.
Measles itself is seldom a direct
cause of death. It may, however,
lead to complications which will
cause death or gravely menace
health. Children with measles, or
just recovering from an attack,
may catch pneumonia, diptheria,
even tuberculosis. They may also
develop ear trouble, The child
recovering from measles is par
ticularly susceptible to other in
fections.
The first symptoms of measles
are a head cold, sneezing, run
ning nose and watery eyes. Some
times vomiting occurs and there
is a slight fever, Red spots break
out on the skin about the fourth
day. They last only a few days.
The disease usually runs its course
in two weeks.
Measles is common because it is
highly contagious. It is often
spread because its early symptoms
are confused with those of a cold
and children who have the disease
are permitted to play with well

Thoiisaiuls of Cities
-%
TIk' American people are
spending with their trim'i
generosity to the nation-wide
Kmergency Food Collection for
the hungry and starving millions
overseas, Secretary of Commerce
Henry A. Wallace, national chair
man of the drive, announced this
week.
The drive in this county is be
ing directed by Misses Elizabeth
Parker and Garnctte Crocker, of
the home agent’s office. No re
port has been released, but the
movement is meeting with suc
cess, it is understood.
The appeal for money to buy
food and for gifts of food canned
in tin for shipment to famine
areas is now under way in more
than ti.500 cities, towns and vil
lages, of which 500 have been or
ganized since the campaign of
ficially opened May 12. Addi
tional local chairmen are being
enlisted daily, he stated.
Mr. Wallace said that every
mail is bringing cheeks and
money orders made payable to
Lee Marshall, executive director,
at national headquarters of the
Emergency Food Collection, 100
Maiden Lane, New York City.
The conti ibutiuns received, he de
clared. indicate that the average
American is willing to make more
than an average effort to give di
rect and personal help to some
desperately hungry human being
overseas.
The contributions include
money saved in many communi
ties by boys and girls who are
giving up between-meal snacks,
ice cream and sodas.
Many local groups and organi
zations, Mr. Wallace reported, are
arranging "famine” luncheons and
dinners, with
meager fare on which hunger vic
tims overseas are trying to sub
sist. The proceeds are being
turned over to the Emergency
Food Collection. Adults who are
skipping meals are also giving the
price of tnose meals.
Cheeks covering costs saved at
breadless, cakelecs and pieless
meals now being instituted at
many public restaurants, college
and university dining halls have
also been pledged to the Food
Collection, Mr. Wallace added.
Local chairmen of the appeal
include leaders from every walk
of American life, with the collec
tion in big cities under the chair
manship of Newbold Morris, New
York City; Mayor Edward J. Kel
ly, Chicago; former Supreme
Court Justice Owen J. Roberts and
Mrs. William H. Biester, Jr.,
