Judge J. C. Smith and Solicitor Paul D. Roberson worked until almost dark handling twenty-eight cases. Proceedings: The case charging Early May ^.floston with non-support was dis missed but it is subject to be re opened.

Peanut Harvest In County JLh id&c-Wusi- waJUt r£&Smte~ - -a- —i The 1947 peanut harvest, de serioed as the best in several j years, is well advanced in the' county, reports stat’ng that a large portion of the crop will have been harvested by the end of this week, weather permitting. Banking on the peanut crop to partially offset if not completely offset price decreases in tobacco, Martin farmers quit their tobacco pack barns, rallied their children and high-priced labor around pea nut slacks and launched the har vest on an all-out scale this week. Weather conditions have heen ideal so far and thousands of acres 'of the goobers have been stacked to dry and wait for the threshers which are likely lo start opera tions within a week or two. Twenty-bag crops arc anticipat ed by many farmers, especially those whose soils are compara-i tively light Farmers whose soils are heavy declare their crops are not the best, and quite a few growers point out that the heavy rains last week caused many of the nuts to shed. “But that’s all right. We’ll fatten hogs on them and come out all right," one far mer said. It is estimated that there are 26.000 acres planted to peanuts in the county this year. It is also estimated that the crop will aver age between 14 and 15 bags per acre. The growers are anticipat ing a 10-cent average price, mean ing the crop should sell for be tween $3,500,000 and $3,900,000. Farmers state they are putting money in circulation now, ex plaining that they are paying about 35 cents per stack or an average of about $7 per day on a work day basis for labor. | RAINFALL s/ Following rain-, that fell one out of every two days on an average for the past three months, the weather struck an ideal medium this week. Clouds hovered over the sec tion Monday night and Tues day, but the sunshine broke through with temperatures just low enough to energize quite a few of us lazy humans. After averaging almost eight inches in June, July and August, the rainfall tapered off slightly last month to 5.89 inches at this point. Rainfall was recorded on seventeen of the thirty days in September. No Little Circus Here October 10 It’s no little circus coming here on Friday of next week, a check on the advertising showing that i Cole Brothers will bring the larg-! cst show e\. ' seen in Williamston. ! There have been so many circus- j es with elaborate advertising that , quite a few people were wonder- j ing if the show here on October 10 was just another truck show. Well, it has been established that the circus is traveling in thirty large cars, that most of the cars arc so heavily loaded that the ! train is allowed to travel hardly more than 20 miles an hour. It was also learned that the show has 800 people, that its clowns are among the highest paid in the world. There are 175 horses, eighteen elephants and fifteen cages of wild animals. The actors and actresses include a family of seventeen children and in-laws. Briefly stated, the show is not as large as Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey, but it is rat • vw' ■*. - eu (J110 i;i tfU; Dcai ill Uie cOUitUy. A definite schedule has not been determined, but the show will leave Kinston shortly after mid night and reach Williamston over the Coast Line railroad between 5 and 6 o'clock Friday morning, j October 10. Arrangements have the circus at the Haughton Street' crossing right at-the freight sta tion.

Advises Increase Cotton Plantings Thomas J. Pearsall,. Nash Coun ty farmer and legislator, told the Nash Edgecombe unit of the Curo linas Ginners Association in Rocky Mount recently he deplor ed tlie old saying that “farmers are the only people who can go broke every year and still stay in business.” He urged the planting of more cotton. Pearsall emphasized the need for giving careful attention to pro duction plans for 1948 in view of the approximate 20 or 25 percent reduction In flue-cured tobacco acreage facing Southern growers. He advised the group to consider planting more cotton and grain crops and the raising of more hogs. "We farmers have been rather short-sighted," he said, “to put all our eggs in the tobacco basket. We must turn to more diversified farming *to maintain our present standard of living.” Last year, Pearsall told the farmers and ginners, the average farmer in Nash and Edgecombe counties received about $600 per acre for his tobacco crop, but this year the figure will probably be about $480 per acre. He pointed out that the expected acreage quota cut tor 1948 will return only $384 per acre on tobacco. "We must plan now to resort to other cash crops,” he said. ‘"One thing we might think about is turning some of the acreage which will be idled by the tobacco quota reduction into cotton production to supplement the loss of cash that will result from the reduced to bacco acreage. If we do plant this extra acreage to cotton, we will be insuring our future, for it is pos sible that we will have cotton acreage control in 1949 and our wisdom in planting more cotton vw.r which is the basis of such quota allotments.” Fred P. Johnson, Raleigh, vice president of the Carolinas Gin ners Association, and J. Henry Vaughn, Elm City, head of the Nash-Edgecombe unit, also spoke briefly. . Native oi County Die?

Minor accidents ran up the total figures in Martin Coun ty’s reckless highway toll dur ing the 39th week.

Friend In County Tells Of Conditions Now Existing In Honielund Of Germany Former SWsl Writing under date of May 3. Johann Schopper, a German pris oner of war who spent some time in the camp here, tells of condi tions in his homeland, The letter, submitted by Mrs. Lester Bryant, reads as follows: Today, May 3. I received al ready the second package from America and you can’t believe what a joy it was for me to re ceive the package. And after months some good days. You probably have heard of the heritage of the 1000 year Reich and all the promises which were made to us. Now that everything has gone haywire and after 12 years dictatorship which has made slaves of us and lowered our statutes in the world, we have lost faith. Today everyone blames foreign nations which I think is wrong, as 1 myself spent full 3 years in the U. S. A. as war pris oner. I can be better judge of our neighbors across the ocean. I was 22 years old when I arrived in the U. S. A. in the age when a man has common sense and ability to judge people and I was impressed by the democratic freedom of the American people. 1 was aston ished at this and I saw' friendly smiling faces; I saw the streets in peace. On the right and left of | us friendly faces on both men and women and some offered us cig arettes which w'as against our rules. It was hardly believable but it is the truth. Then we were taken to the train where I was looking for a freight car for us, but was surprised to find a regu lar passenger train of the At Ian tic Coast Line with upholstered seats and this was for us! I was dreaming but it was a reality and our voyage to our prison's camp started. After a few hours some U. S. soldiers came through the train with plates of food whiten ’ v ’ ■ had » mttny months. When we arrived at the camp—this topped it all—nice clean military bed, shower baths with hot and cold water and food as much as we wanted and good food. This all we didn’t expect. The work was agreeable and rela tions between prisoners and civil ian made no difference. There was no talk of winner or loser and no feeling of hatred. They were real people who knew what the war wak about and had to fight for thier own existence. They were not fighting for the head of a nation or a “fuehrer as Hitler.’1 We had orders to obey and we also had our rights. We could 1 attend church regularly with no interference. Yes they also had masses for our home folks in Ger many. Here the people spoke as . V' to !■),(»( ;tltr} «ft; •Tt'k-WHPS : enemy'. We were not considered enemies. How quick those three years went by and my prisoner of war term was at an end and the big ship filled up again but this time not with fanatics but with men who had been converted to a bet ter world. People now knew that there was across the ocean decent people and not uncivilized people as we were trained to believe un der the “Fuehrer.” My thoughts go out to you people which have done so much for me and are still doing it. How can I make good i for your kindness? May God re ward you and protect you and 1 keep your land free from foreign I evil influences who seek to pnter your land. May these foreign in fluences which are against peace and order get their punishment. It is about this that the entire world finds its way back to Chris (Continucd on page eigh?) Cure* Tobacco hi fly Yearn Without a Loan -» .... '! can'v ■pv‘-ove it Bui f fecn&at1 :i have cJtabiishcd something akin to a record when it comes to cur ing tobacco,” Mr. Ellis Malone said yesterday. "I have been cur ing tobacco for bfl years in the Bear Grass neighborhood and I have nevei lost a'barn by fire.” Mr. Malone pointed out that he never owned an oil burner nor used anything but wood in curing Market Holding To Recent —— + ■■- — Prices gains, noted during i’n^ past several days, continued to hold firm on Williamston’s tobac co market this week with daily averages shooting close to $43.00 per hundred pounds. After holding to the lowest lev el of the season the early part of last week, the market started climbing last Thursday and by Thursday of this week daily aver ages had gained nearly $5 per hundred. During the meantime, sales on the market climbed to ap proximately six and three-quarter i million pounds passing those for jthe same period last season by a comfortable margin. A farmer review of the price situation this week shows that prices on the medium grades were up as much as $5 per hundred, and the top types were selling for as much as $61 and $62 per hundred pounds. No material change in the prices was noted for the inferior grades. While most of the farmers have sold their tips, they are offering tobacco resembling tips and the prices for those types are not so “hot.” It is estimated that more than sixty percent of the crop has been sold in this immediate section. The eastern markets return to a five-hour daily selling schedule next Monday, but peanut digging is holding sales to around 150,000 to 200,000 pounds on the local market at the present time, and the extra selling time will hardly be needed until the peanut harv est is completed and farmers find time to return to their tobacco pack barns. • Thousands Attend Cemetery. Closin bJo Following is an account based on a now's release recently made in Paris, describing howr the Bel gian nation honored U. S. World War II dead as Henri Chapelle Cemetery closed. Led by a personal representa tive of the Prince Regent Charles and by their Premier, Paul Henri Spaak, nearly 5.000 Belgian citi zens streamed to Henri Chapelle Cemetery on July 27, 1947, by bus, bicycle, and on foot to attend the solemn benefietion ceremony held j to mark its closing on Monday, [July 28, in preparation for the re turn of American World War II dead to the homeland. The American Ambassador to I Belgium, Admiral Alan G. Kirk, I Lieutenant General Clarence R. Huebner, Deputy Commander in Chief, European Command, and representatives of all the varied elements that made up the United States forces in the recent war were in attendance. Over thirty relatives and next of kin of Am j oi lcan soldiers buried in Henri | Chapelle also were present for the I ceremony. Headquarters, European Com mand, sent a picked platoon of the 18th Regiment, First Infantry Di vision, to the ceremony as an hon or guard.

Engineer Henry Rivers is ex pected to submit tentative plans I as a part of a long-term improve I ment program.

The engi neer is expected to advance plans and cost estimates at the meeting | next Tuesday. It was also intimated that the j town officials and property own i ers will make another effort to •get out of a 10-foot, dead end al | ley now bottling up traffic in the ' backlot on the north side of Main | Street.
