Clayton Roberson Funeral
At Home Near Here
This Afternoon
-*
Clayton Roberson. 17 years old,
was accidentally drowned in the
run of the old Daniel and Staton
or Big Mili pond about 75 yards
from the highway bridge last Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. A
amung colored boy was drowned
•linost at the same spot about two
months ago, and the tragedy was
the second to strike in the young
man's family, the father, Eli Al
bert Roberson, having lost his life
in an automobile accident at
Spring Green Church in October,
1940.
1
In the company of a brother,
Garland, and several others, the
tttiung man left his home near
vvilliamston on the Everetts High
way and went to the creek to go
swimming He jumped into the
pond and was swimming across
when something went wrong with
him. His brother answered his
call for help and as soon as he
reached him, Clayton caught him
around the body. They were
within ten feet of the bank when
the current drew them back into
the stream, and Garland, seeing
that both were about to drown,
broke loose just as he was about
to be carried down for the third
time. He was barely able to save
himself and was exhausted when
he reached the bank.
A call for help was made and
officers, including highway pa
trolmen, went there. Special
hooks were radioed for and were
delivered from Washington by
Patrolman Trippe. During the
meantime, swimmers tried to lo
cate the body, and several dived
in with their clothes on in an ef
fort to rescue the boy. Chas. Hines
dived down and found the body
but he could not raise it. The
hooks were out into use short
time later and the body was 1111
ed from the nearly 20 feet of wat
er about one hour and ten min
utes after the boy went down.
His brothers and others applied
m tifetal ie^irawv^ }«. awTvuir
and thirty-five minutes in a futile
effort to revive him.
Investigating the drowning.
Coroner S. R. Biggs ruled that it
was qgcidertal and that no inquest
was necessary.
The son of Mrs. Maggie Bland
Roberson and the late Eli Albert
Roberson, he was born on the
Whitford farm in Robersonville
Township on August 7. 1930. Fol
lowing the death of his father, the
family moved to the John Daniel
Biggs farm on the old Williams
ton-Bcar Grass Road and located
a year later on the Smith farVn
near Williamston.
He attended the Williamston
schools until the early part of the
war when he found it necessary
to remain at home and help his
widowed mother while other
brothers were in the service. The
young man was a willing and hard
worker and had many friends.

Main Street Home
Damaged By Fire
——♦—
Starting when an oil stove used
for heating water went out of con
trol, fire caused right much dam
age to the home of Mrs. W. A
James on West Main Street here
early last Sunday afternoon. No
official estimate could be had im
[ mediately, but the fire and smoke
j damage will possibly exceed $400,
.according to one report.
^ Mrs. James was away from
home at the time, but Mrs. Fannie
Gardner was there at the time.
, Working in the kitchen at the
time, Mrs. Gardner did not dis
| cover the fire until it had gained
right much headway, neighbors
rushing to the home when they
| saw smoke coming through the at
tic ventilators. The fire h^d
s burned through the ceiiing and
I ^about half way through the raft
ers by that time, but the neigh
bors held it in check fairly well
II until the fire department was
|| called. A large hose line was laid
ij and the fire was brought under
L control in a short time after the
[ connection was completed.
Budget Proving Big
Problem For Board
i
Adopted Several
I Ordinances Last
i Night at Meeting
I Binip‘1 $6,000 Oul of Line
With Th«* Prevailing
Tax Rate Here
Williamston’s town authorities
bumped into one of their biggest
and without doubt the mosi per
plexing problems of the season
last night when they worked to
reconcile the new fiscal year bud
get to the prevailing tax rate of
$2. After wrestling with the pro
blem until after 11 o’clock, the
commissioners tucked it a\ny un
til Thursday evening of this week
when they are slated to give it
more consideration and possibly
adopt a budget estimate and de
termine a tax rate.
Starting the year off with about
$20,000 less m the treasury than
there was a year ago, the com
missioners are finding it difficult
to make up for the difference.
The economy axe was applied last
night, and after that was done the
budget was $6,000 in excess of
anticipated revenue, including
that based on a $2 tax rate. The
budget figures are in a state of
change just now, but the estimate
is less than the one a year ago.
It appears that the authorities
I have three iines of approach in
I effecting a solution to the prob
I Thev'll have to wield the old
economy axe after a really reck
less fashion, or they'll have to
adopt a Schedule B or privilege
license tux. or they'll have to in
crease the tax rate from $2 to
about $2.15 pei $100 assessed pro
perty valuation.
It is fairly ct i tain that a con
servauvf otmcy will tj»< orcu?r

traffic regulations, sidewalk con

nickelodians after certain hours
and allied problems. The ordi

Plow r ire Lanes
In Martin County
-»- -
“Strange as it may seem,” re
ports Marvin H. Leggett, Martin
County Forest Warden, “the re
cent rains have hampered the ef
forts of N. C. Forest Service crews
towards control of forest fire dan
ger in Martin County." Warden
Leggett has been supervising
crews plowing fire lanes in the
southern section of the County
but the recent rains have flooded
the low areas making it impos
sible to operate the heavy Forest
! Service equipment.
! About a hundred miles of fire
lanes have been plowed in Mar
tin County by the N. C. Forest
Service and Warden Leggett
hopes to add several hundred
more miles this summer but un
less the low areas dry out the
i goal will not be reached within
j the next several months, says Leg
gett.
Fire lanes which were plowed
last year by Forest Service crews
should be checked over by land
owners and maintained with farm
tractors and disc plows. Warden
Leggett pointed out that fire lanes
would lose much of their value
unless maintenance work was
done on them as grass and other
vegetation soon cover the bare
soil and make it possible for fires
to cross the lanes.
Warden Leggett said that he
would be glad to advise land
owners on the proper method of
I maintaining these lanes.
| SLEEPING SICKNESS |
sj
At least seven work animals
have contracted sleeping
sickness and died in this
county during the past week
or two, it was learned this
week from I>r. W. F. Cop
page. While there is no cure
for the rather unusual dis
ease, it can be prevented by
vaccination, it was pointed
out. and quite a few farmers
in the Jamesville-Griffins sec
tions where the disease has
been centered for the most
part are having their horses
and mules vaccinated, it was
learned.
Clinics for vaccinations
were held some months ago
and many work animals were
vaccinated against the dis
ease at that time.

Asks Large Lut
hi Peanut Acres
—<*—
In order to receive a supporl
price of 90 percent of parity as oi
July 15 for 1948-crop peanuts, pro
ducers must vote at a referendum
to be held before December 15
1947. to reduce the nation’s 1948
■ peanut acreage to about 75 per
cent of that planted in 1947, ac
cording to *Secietary of Agricul
ture Clinton P. Anderson’s recent
proclamation establishing 760,000
jtons as the 1948-crop peanut mar
keting quota. Secretary Ander
I son’s proclamation was occasion
led by the provisions of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act of 1938
which requires that unless the
supply of peanuts for edible pro
ducts and vegetable oils is below
domestic demands and probable
exports, marketing quotas must
be established.
The 760,000 ton figure was de
termined by analyzing the actual
disapearance of peanuts cleaned
and shelled during the last five
years, which average 673.000 tons
farmers’ stock and the prospec
tive disappearance from the 1947
48 crops which is estimated at
579,000 tons. It also includes an
estimated tonnage allowed for
seed, feed, and home use on farms
and for damaged nuts.
To prodtice the 1947 marketing
quota, the 3.136.000 acreage plant
ed in 1947 would be reduced to 2,
324,109 in 1948, based on a yield
of 654 pounds per acre.
I Quarter Million
Dollar Debt Is
Shown Bv Audit
-»
^ illinmston's Municipal
Sel-up Is Ruled $600,
000 Going Concern
-o
J Despite a quarter-million dol
lar bonded debt—$245,500.00. to
be exact —Williamston's financial
condition is rated good, accord
ing ty comments m^ide following
the receipt of the annual audit a
few days ago. It is a creeping
schedule, to be sure, and one bur
dened with high interest rates in
voked back in the late teen and
early twenties and thirties, but
the town is whittling down the
principal at the average rate of
about $10,500 each year, plus
$11,755.00 annual interest.
All told, the town has issued a
total of $459,500.00 in bonds since
June 1. 1919, including $80,500 re
funding bonds. The nearly half
million dollar debt has been whit
tled down to $245,500, the last of
which falls due on April 1, 1985.
However, the greater portion of
the debt will have been retired
by 1958, leaving $23,000 due dur
ing the following seven years.
The $225,000 light, water and
sewer bonds issued in June, 1919,
and May, 1920, still stalk the
town’s economy, the 8 percent in
terest rate on the uncallablebonds
keeping the treasury's nose to the
proverbial grandstone. A street
improvement program back in
| 1930 added $90,000 to the debt and
Lit six percent interest. In early
; March, 1941, the public improve
[ment program was launched, call
I ing for a $35,000 bond issue, but
•w-Tsrt.“•wur* vTaVTV”'‘uT‘ 4
percent. That was the last of the
regular bond issues. Later in
1941 the town called in $71,501)
in bonds and refunded them at
3 1-2 percent, and another $13,00(1
at 3 1-4 percent.
The bond schedule, including
interest, calls for $28,255.00 due
*»?, :g vtWVu t iTtrrffjKiir’V.
Of the $245,500 debt outstanding
as of last June 30, $111,000 is be
ing brought over from the light,
water and sewer bonds issued in
1919 and 1920. On an average the
and $8,240.00 interest annually on
these particular bonds which arc
not callable and which will con
tinue to demand straight six per
cent interest.
To show for the bonded debt
and improvement made from cur
rent funds the town has fixed pro
perties valued at $554,743.24. The
audit lists the fixed property
values, as follows:
Fire department, engines and
equipment, $27,700.79; streets,
sidewalks and equipment, $192.
308.28; water plant, lines, sewer
lines and equipment, $ 176,963.67:
City hall, $7,756.28; general ad

$10,801.77; side track, railway,
$441.87; land, $232.92; cemetery.
$706; and public improvements,
$24,007.22.
Proposed Budget
For Jamesville
♦—
^ budget, calling for a $6,197.33
business for the 1947-48 fiscal
year, is being proposed by James
ville’s governing officials, accord
ing to an estimate filed last week
end by Treasurer James W. Long.
Starling out with a cash balance
of $3,079.33 as of July 1, 1947, the
town is anticipating $1,(>00 as its
share of profits from liquor store
sales and expects to collect $1,500
in advalorem taxes. The assessed
property valuation for tax pur
poses has been fixed at $234,
137.00, the board adopting a ten
talive rate of 7a cents per hun
dred.
The board, composed of new
i members, is anticipating a fairly
extensive street improvement and
maintenance program, the budget
tentatively setting aside $3 922.33
for work in that department. Law
enfoicement, it is estimated, will
cost $1,200, and $400 v/ill finance
street lighting. The board is con
templating the installation of cau
tion lights at several highway and
street lighting. The board is cur»
propriated $175 to finance the
safety project. Miscellaneous
items and incidentals wiil cost ap

To Avoid Labor Trouble

The Willianiston Package
Manufacturing Company plant
was closed down by a strike un
expectedly th.is morning when
three strange white men took a
stand near the mill entrance and
allegedly advised, directly or in
directly, the employees not to go
to work. According to a direct
report from one of the union rep
resentatives only yesterday after
noon, the company had not refus
ed to negotiate with its employees,
and it is fairly apparent that all
efforts to avoid labor trouble had
not been exhausted.
The interruption is apparently
the result of a clandestine meet
ing held in the Negro Methodist
[church on Rhodes Street here last
night, unofficial reports declaring
that the plant or the Willianiston
I Lumber Company is next on the
|strike list with a shut-down ten
tatively scheduled for tomorrow.

To Make \-liays of
By Jiilin \V. Williams
County Health Officer
The Martin County Board of
Health at its past meeting passed
an order requiring all the teach
ers, janitors, bus drivers and of
course food handlers to have tut
X-Ray picture of their chest on
file at the Health Department be
fore the first salary checks are
diawn.
The Martin County Health De
partment is thoroughly equipped
to do the work for this group of
employees absolutely free. It will
not only benefit in the school
room but be a great consolation
to the individual.
Beginning August 11 some one
qualified to do this work will be
in the Health Department from !J
to 4:30 every clay, except Satur
day when the office closes at 12
noon.
Pictures will be forwarded to
specialists at Sanatorium, inter
preted, and returned to us for fil
ing. If a private physician does
the work, the film mu d be sent to
the department for filing.
The office can take about 30
pictures a day and there are 225
employees, therefore, appoint
ments must be made so that the
work can be scheduled through
out the day and no one will have
to wait.
The Martin County Tubercu
losis Association made this work
possibly by buying the films.
The mass X-Raying which will
take pictures of every one living
in Martin County will be here
in January.
It is hoped that all the school
workers who live in the country
will begin now to ask for ap
pointments. so there will be no J
rush when outsiders muve in.
Prices On Bonier Markets
Do Not Come Up To Claims
There is an apparent discrep
ancy m reports on prices coming
from the Border tobacco markets,
according to direct information
reaching here last week-end. The
prices simply are not measuring
up to the reported claims, impar
tial observers who visited the
markets in person said following
their return here.
In the first place, the average
received by the growers on open
ing day was apparently nearer
$4ti per hundred pounds than the
$50 reported. Tobacco was selling
from $2 to $60. the personal ob
servers declaring that the high
est piles they saw sold brought
$(i2 a fid the purchases were made
by the warehouses. No $68 piles
were seen, and the apparent top
for the companies was $59, an oe
casional pile running up to $tJ0 per
hundred.
The medium grades were said
to be selling very well, but the
fancy types were not bringing
fancy prices, and the poor quality
grades found little favor in front
of the companies.
One observer said he saw a
company buyer bid $-4 on one pile,
that the Stabilization Corporation
stepped in and took it for $24.
The direct reports declared that
prices on at least three of the
Border markets were ranging
from $5 to $G per hundred pounds
below' last year's prices.
The crop is unusually late on
the Border, possibly as late as the
crop in this county, and very lit
tle tobacco was offered on most
of the markets last Thursday and
| Friday.

Further Decrease
In Foreign Sales
Of Leal Tobaccos
Kxport Exported To
Mom’ From Ono-'l'hird
To Fifty Frrcntt
Although tobacco prices con
tinue to hold up to fairly high lev
els in Georgia and on the Border
markets, the outlook for flue-cur
ed tobacco in the foreign or Brit
ish markets is not at all encour
aging, according to late reports
coming from London. Already
cut by one-lhird, exports to Brit
ain are now likely to be reduced
to fifty percent of the 1946 de
liveries
This drastic curtailment would
be tlie result of Great Britain's
stringent efforts to maintain its
fast-diminishing dollar reserves.
In outlining plans to invoke gov
ernment powers similar to those
used during World War II. Prime
Minister Atlee did not SDeeificallv
mention tobacco in his speech to
the House of Commons yester
day.
But it was learned from Wash
ington sources the u K’s
rigid dollar conservation program
is likely to force its purchases of
U. S. tobacco considerably below
the 26 percent cut objective that
the British Labor government had
when it miposed new additional
import duties of approximately 50
percent on tobacco some four
months ago.
No one knows just how mu'.n
British buying of American to
bacco will be reduced in 1947. be
cause of several intangible fac
tors involved. And all govern
n II i I ex | II ■; I pi e, I u i |. in O' Vi iV i .Oil®"'*'
reason, are unofficial and not for
attribution. But there would ap
pear to be ample basis for the
view tnat U. S. exports to the U.
. K. may shrink in half tins year.
To begin with, tobacco con
; sumption in Hie United Kingdom
' c t Hug h 1^
import duty p n obably
fallen below the 1946 rate by "be
tween one fourth and one-third,”
according to a cable from London
received today by Hugh Taylor of
tht Agriculture Department ol
lice vt rensign Agi.ieunuis m a
t ions.
And the cable- which brought
the fii.-.t official news on Britain’s
new curtailment plan—also re
< ealrtl that:
1. The Labor government is con
sidering invoking the wartime
emergency measure of partial cig
arette rationing by means of con
trolling deliveries to distributors.
2. British cigarette manufactur
j ers now anticipate allocation of
leaf tobacco below the require
ments of present consumption.
Thus consumption may be further
reduced at the manufacturing
j level.
3. ‘‘Consumption of leaf next
| year (the 1947-48 season) will be
in pa11 at expense of . forks.” This
indicates clearly that the U. K.
intends to go into tobacco stock
I pile , which are currently at the i
| low peacetime level of about 379
million pounds (weight). (Of this
280 million pounds is U. S. flue
cured.) Such a stockpile is a 14
