Stimson Explains
Why Atomic Bomb
Was Used In War
Former Secretary of War
Was Man To Make the
Recommendation
(Quoting further from a mem- i
orandum to the President, Mr.
Stimson explains what the warn
ing he has recommended should
contaiif.—Ed.)
“This warning should contain
tl'.e following elements:
4 “The varied and overwhelming
character the force we are
about to bring to bear on the is
lands.
"The inevitability and com
pleteness of the destruction which
the full application of this force
will entail.
"The determination of the Al
lies to destroy permanently all
authority and influence of those
. who have deceived and misled the
* country into embarking Sn world
conquest.
“The determination of the Al
lies to limit Japanese sovereign
ty to her main islands and to ren
der them powerless to mount and
support another war.
“The disavowal of any attempt
to extirpate the Japanese as a
race or to destroy them as a na
tion.
“A statement of our readiness,
once her economy is purged of its
militaristic influence, to permit
the Japanese to maintain such in
dustries, particularly of a light
consumer character, as offer no
threat of aggression against their
neighbors, but which can produce
a sustaining economy, and pro
vide a reasonable standard of liv
ing. The statement should indi
j cate our willingness, for this pur
pose, to give Japan trade access to
external raw materials, but no
longer any control over the
sources of supply outside her mam
islands. It should also indicate
our willingness, in accordance
with our now established foreign
trade policy in due course to en
♦ tir into mutually advantageous
trade relations with her.
tiSha liHMdjwfe'.ay,'
country as soon as the above ob
jectives of the Allies are accom
plished, and as soon as there has
been established a peacefully in
clined government, of a character
representative of the masses of
the Japanese people. I personal
ly think that if in saying this we
should add that we do not ex
clude a constitutional monarchy
under her present dynasty, it
Jvould substantially add tu the
chances of acceptance.
"(6) Success of course will de
pend on the potency of the warn
ing which we give her. She has
an extremely sensitive national
pride and, as we are now seeing
every day, when actually locked
| with the enemy will fight to the
! very death. For that reason the
warning must be tendered before
the actual invasion has occurred
and whlie the impending destruc
tion. though clear beyond perad
venture, has not yet reduced her
to financial despair. If Russia is
a part of the threat, the Russian
attack, if actual, must not have
progressed too far. Our own
bombing should be confined to
military objectives as far as pos
sible.’’ *
It is important to emphasize the
i: 1... *>'.!,
warning. It was designed to pro
mise destruction if Japan resisted,
and hope, if she surrendered.

Slight Decrease
In Price Average
Noted Last Week
-o
Sales Exceeding 300,000
Pounds Daily; Small
Block li) Effect
Jumping from around 225.000
pounds to well over 300,000
pounds daily, tobacco sales on the
local market pushed right on by
the two and one-half million
pound mark today. Up to and in
cluding sales of yesterday, the
market had sold 2.200,000 pounds
for an average price right at $44
per hundred. A slight decrease
in ihe price average was noted the
latter part of last week with in
creased marketing of tips and
much inferior quality leaf. The
market here is in a small block
at the present time, but sales are
going forward after an orderly
fashion due to the booking plan,
i Reporting on the second week
! of marketing activities, the Unit
ed States and North Carolina De
partments of Agriculture said yes
terday that sale's for the period
were irregular in the belt.
Practically the same number of
! grades showed gains as losses with
I variations ranging up to $4.00 per
hundred. The stronger demand
was centered on lugs, primings,
and cutters which constituted the
i larger part of the sales. The ma
jority of these grades were $1.00
to $3.00 higher. On the other
hand, leaf and smoking leaf
grades were lower. The declines
1 were from 50c to $4.00, but most
were between $1.00 and $3.00. The
largest changes occurred for prim
ings and lower quality offerings.
A few orange lugs and better leaf
Gross sales for the four days
making up the week amounted to
j 34.222,942 pounds and averaged
$42.71. This average was 63c be
| low last week and the volume
around 13 million pounds greater.
| The large difference m volume is
I partially due to the increase of
I sales time from four hours a day
.to five hours beginning'Thursday,
September 4. However, farmers
I are generally through harvesting
: their crops and now arc preparing
i it for market with the result that
I blocker, sale,-; prevailed at the end
| of the week. Season sales through
j September 5 totaled 55.876,673
I pounds at an average of $42.97 per
I hundred. Last year for the same
j number of sales days around 30
million pounds more had been
sold for an average of $51.87.
The quality of this week's sales
was comparatively the same as
last week. More primings, better
cutters, and leaf was sold and less
lower lug grades and nondescript.
Bulk of sales consisted of low to
fine lugs, low and fair cutters, and
j common to good leaf,
j Deliveries to the Flue-cured
[Stabilization Corporation for the
week were estimated at 14.4 per
j cent of sales. This was approxi
■ inaiely 4 percent less thunrc^W!^
1 ed last week. The letup can .be ac
counted for by higher prices for
lugs and cutters, and the increas
ed percentage of leaf offered.
Grades to average below the Com

Jaycees Seeking
Removal Of Ban
On Dances in Gym
Committor Named To Dis
cuss Matter With School
Board Members Here
The Williamston Junior Cham-1
ber of Commerce will seek to get j
the ban on dances at the local
gymn removed.
The bi-monthly dinner meeting
! of t he organization was held last
| Friday night in the local Woman's
(Club with Charles Manning lead
ing the group in singing America.
Invocation was by Edgar Gurgan- j
us.
Everything went along very
smoothly until after the meal,
then the business session opened
with a "bang." After swearing in
two new members. "Cap” York
and Jack Butler, Jaycee Paul
Simpson took the floor to oppose
.the action recently taken by the
School Board in closing the High
School Gymnasium to dances and
other civic gatherings.
Simpson pointed out that the
Jaycees and other civic clubs had
been very instrumental, finan
cially and otherwise, in the pro
motion of the high school athletic
association and tile high school
band; that the funds raised by
the civic groups were the result of
dances and other programs car
ried on in the gymnasium from
which these groups have been
barred.
Jaycee Ernest Mears quickly
followed Mr. Simpson to show
that it was tlie desire of the civic
clubs to assist the school board in
every way possible to maintain an
adequate gymnasium for school
athletic;*, pointing out that
through dances money could be
raised to pay for the upkeep and
improvement of the gym.
Neil Ripley then arose and ex
pressed the opinion that the
school board had been a little
hasty in its decision and had not
given due consideration to all
sides of the question. He further
stated that the board had acted
m c: aak
sented to them, but that the main
facts were not presented as they
I should have been.
It was then suggested that Jack
Butler, newly sworn member of
the club, and his guest High
School Athletic Director Stuart
Maynard, be asked to express
their opinion, both being mem
bers’of the high school faculty.
Butler said he did not wish to
I "condone or condemn either the
action taken by the school board
or the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, but merely to express my
personal opinion in the matter.”
He went on to say that in the past
the gymnasium has not been a fit
place for athletics, and that some
action must be taken to assure
Coach Maynard that proper fa
cilities will be at his disposal for
his training program. He then
asked Mr. Maynard to say a few
words.
"I am new to this town and this
town is new to me,” Maynard re
marked, “but I have been employ
ed to direct a training course in
athletics and that I intend to do.”
He added that being a new mem
ber of the faculty here he had to
be careful where he placed his
right foot, just as any teacher in

Nineteen Divorce
Cases Are Placed
On Trial Calendar
—*—
Two Plaintiffs, Alleging
Bigamy, Asking Bonds
Be Annnled
Nineteen divorce cases have
been placed on the calendar for
trial in the Martin County Sup
erior Court during the two-week
term opening September 15 The
first two days of the term have
been set aside for criminal action,
and all of the third day is to be
devoted to the blasting of matri
monial bonds, according to a cal
endar schedule recently prepared
by the Martin County Bar Asso
ciation.
While most of the divorce cases
are based on grounds of two-year
i separations, two plaintiffs allege
adultery and two others main
tain that their marriages were bi
gamous and are asking that they
be nnnuled.
Bonnie E .Bland m his case
against Alease Moore Bland bases
his divorce claim on two different
grounds. They were married on
| December 8. 1942 and separated
the following day, according to
the complaint. Declaring that
they had lived separate and apart
since that time, the plaintiff fur
ther alleges that the defendant
during the summer of 1944 com
mitted adultery. The defendant,
living in Fayetteville, denies the
allegations and is expected to con
test the action.
Married on March (i, i944, and
separated on June 1, 1944, Luther
C. Modlin is suing Mary Modlin
for a divorce on two year separa
tion grounds.
In the case of Emmitt Thomas
against Ethel Thomas of Alabama,
the plaintiff says they were mar
ried in October, 1938, that they
separated in June, 1944, and that
two children, born to the union,
live with the defendant hut are
supported by the plaintiff. Con
testing the action, the defendant
says she was abandoned by the
plaintiff while she was with child,
and that he^g^iot offered.^yiv^
suppoi l bn Her or tin 'flut e chil
dren.
Basing his action on two-year sep
aration, Beautie Andrews is suing
Mattie Lee Andrews for a di
vorce, pointing out that they were
married January 1, 1940, and that
they separated in June, 1944. The
complaint also alleges that the de
fendant left for Philadelphia, de
claring she was never going to
live with the plaintiff again.
The diverts, action of Mary
Brown Gray against Felton Gray
is based on two-year separation
grounds, the complaint saying
tney were married in December,
1938, and that they separated in
September, 1942.
Claiming separation of two
years or more, J. E. Strawbridge
is suing Benita Strawbridge for a
divorce. The complaint alleges
that they were married in Bertie
County October 22 1938. and that
they were separated in July, 1944,

Band Uniform Drive!

Voting Musicians To Make
Personal Bid For Help
On Streets Friday
rrq
Although plans for a high school I
band for Williamston have been
in existence here for a dozen years
the chances of success are the
greatest today they have ever
been.
Two of the major obstacles to
a first class high school band are |
rapidly being overcome. A drive
to raise $1500 for additional uni
forms for a 48-piece band is due
to end with observance of Band
Day next Friday, September 12.
With this obstacle out of the way, j
Professor Jack Butler, already |
busy with shaping up his person
nel and holding rehearsals, can be
depended upon to overcome the
obstacle of training and directing
the young musicians.
Almost before word had gone
out that $1500 was needed as a
band uniform fund, the Williams
ton firemen donated $100 to the
campaign and in the next regular
meetings of the Lions and Kiwanis
clubs the two civic organizations
voted $100 a piece for the fund, a
total of $300 before the canvass
ing for the drive had gotten und
erway.
The progress of the drive which
is moving ahead of the original
schedule is being indicated on a
“thermomett r'’ in front of The
Enterprise office where donations
are being reported by the canvass
ers and the red "temperature” in
dicator is moved up as the money
comes in. There is an ample sup
ply of the red paint and the ca
pacity of the “thermometer" is
unlimited, a memh^^h The ,Kn_.
teiprise staff who is handling the
thermometer said yesterday.
While original plans called for
canvassing Thursday and Friday,
some of the canvassers completed
their work within hours of receiv
ing their assignments and it was
felt that an indication of the pro
gress being made might as well be
shown at once instead of waiting
for Friday to come around.
Full details of Friday’s program
will appear in the issue ot the En
terprise which will go on the
streets Thursday afternoon.
Struggling along with part-time
instruction and various degrees of
interest by students, the band was
off to a good start when it got its
first full-time director Professor
Butler, in October, 1940. By the
fall of 1941 he had a band ready
to march in Duke Stadium at a
football game and other appear
ances were made in 1942, at Ral
eigh and in Washington. During
that time the band appeared in
support of various local civic ef
forts.
The advent of World War 11
cast a shadow over band activities
and it was dealt a stunning blow
in June of 1942 when Director
Butler answered the cull to the
colors and cnteied the Navy. -
Although hopes were held that
the close of hostilities would re
sult in his early return to Wil
liamston and his band work, Pro
lessor Butler was unable to get
i back to Martin County until late

Gm-nsliot’o Observing An
niversary of Great Writ
er-Author’s Birth
The Greensboro Historical So
ciety on Thursday of this week is
celebrating the 85th anniversary
of O. Henry's (William Sidney
Porter) birth with the opening
and dedication of a Memorial
Room in the Gate City's civic cen
ter.
This memorial has been the
special project for several years of
the Greensboro Historical Mu
seum Society. The Society has
assembled and arranged for per
manent display a rare collection
of O. Henryana, including original
manuscripts, letters, documents,
and first editions of his works. It
has also re-created as part of the
memorial, in the atmosphere of
the 188U's, a section of one of the
city's historic institutions, the old
“Dr. Porter’s Drug Store.’’
Porter was the son of a small
town physician. His mother died
when he was very young and his
only conventional literary educa
tion was gained in the private
school of his aunt. Miss Lina Por
ter. He stopped school at the age
of fourteen to enter his Uncle
Clark Porter’s drug store for
training as a pharmacist. Al
though he was licensed later, he
had to abandon the druggist's ca
reer at an early age because of ill
health.
lie went to Texas then and for
two years lived on the ranch of an
old ex-Greensboro friend, “Red’
Hall, a famed Texas ranger. Re
covering his health, he moved to
Austin and in 1887 became a
draftsman in the Texas Land Of
fice. That same year he married
| 17 year-old Athol Estes, of Aus
j tin. A daughter and only child,
(Margaret Worth Porter, was horn
in ! 88ft. About t!u-, time he be
came teller in the First National
Bank of Austin, a po t which he
held feu four years. He then be
tonio Daily Express for a short
time, transferring his talents to
the Houston Daily Post in 1895.
Shortly afterwards he was sum
moned to Austin to answer em
bezzlement charges that grew out
of his bank connection there. The
charges were never substantiated,
but circumstances played against
him and he was later convicted.
He had set out for Austin to an
swer the summons in July.1896,
but the sense of impending hu
miliation caused him to flee for
sanctuary, first to New Orleans
and later by tramp steamer to
Central and South America.
Corresponding with his young
wife through a friend, he learned
in February, 1897, that she was
ill. He returned promptly to her
bedside and remained with her
until her death in July. The fol
lowing February be was tried and
found guilty of the charges
against him and served a
prison term of three years and
three months, long sinco publicly
admitted to have been a gross mist

In prison, his early training as a •
