Show Brings Back Boyhood Mem’ries Cole Brothers’ circus when it :amc here last Friday brought nack boyhood memories for quite i few local people who. mouths )p< n wide, stared in great amaze ment at the first big tops ever to •oil into Williamston by rail forty roars ago. Dick Smith and Joe David rhrower. virtually declaring or sneaking off with a Roman hoii iay, were up long before day to meet and watch the circus unload. Due can imagine the aggravated lisappointment when the train Killed into the station just about wo hours late. Quite a few of he spectators reporting for the Tee show were forced to leave, ncluding quite a few school chil Ircn, but others took their places, t was estimated that several hun Ired were present for the unload* ’•g of tin wagons, and. . Uw. ktv nals. Some of those- w ho had chil Iren dragged them out early and •arried them to meet the train, isirig the little tots as a decoy. Jther adults accepted their own esponsibilitv for getting up bo on- day to watch the circus train. Wiley Burroughs Rogerson, icanng the circus train pull hrough Robersonville at 6:30 that norning, rushed down to see the inloading operations. There was lisappointment when it was (earn 'd that he had lost the train be ween here and Robersonville. But he waited very patiently. Getting a late start out of Kin ton that morning, the train was imited to 20 miles an hour, and hen the train master decided to eparate or “break the train up” in the half-mile siding at Rober* on’s Slaughter House where it vas delayed thirty minutes. The passenger coaches were ilaced on the station siding. The nimals were unloaded from the lack track and the flats were plac d and arranged for unloading he wagons at two points on the nain track. Regular freight ser ice was suspended for the day. After seeing a horse and ten arge elephants emerge from one " 2 wide eyed spectator declai-" d, “If another one of those big hings comes out of that car, I ron't believe it.” And Sheriff Charlie Roebuck /ent to the circus twice while lany met the circus, saw the cir us and saw t.he circus off. lexas Man Will Face Trial Here ——♦—— Charged with the non-support f his wife and two small children,! dward E.

The highest sale of the year was re ported last Wednesday when 209. 488 pounds sold for an average right at $48.00 per hundred pounds. One of the largest sales of the season was reported last Friday when 346,784 pounds were sold for an average between $40 and $47 per hundred pounds. At the close of the sale approximately 700 piles were left on the block which carried on into today. It is (quite evident that peak sales are in progress here this week, reports from numerous far mers declaring that the crop is rapidly disappearing. Many far mers have completed their mar keting of the crop, and most of the others have only one or two cur ings left. A general report for all the markets in this belt follows: Eastern North Carolina flue cured tobacco sales during the seventh week were highlighted by 'the K;-'.‘ .■' highest prices of the season for all grades report the United States and North Carolina Depart ments of Agriculture.

Smoking leaf and lugs were $1.00 to $7.00 higher, cutters $1.00 to $3.00, pi linings $3.Oil and S4.0U. and nondescript 25c to $4.25. Most gains were from $2.00 to $6.00. Prices eased off slightly on Thurs day and Friday but not to the ex tent of returning to the levels of the previous week. A new high was set in the week ly general average when 47,558, 030 pounds sold for $47.35 per hundred. Tnis w as $3.20 above the previous week’s average chiefly because of higher prices by grades, Season gross sales were brought to 291,518,726 pounds at an average of $42.09.

He j knocked the intruder down with ; his fist, and dragged him out the i: front door into the yard where he : soundly thrashed the intrude' be-1 fore neighbors could reach them.! Members of the patrol happened , to be passing about that time and ] they picked up Lanier and placed ; him in the county jail. i Mrs. Peel getting ready to re- i tire, heard the intruder and ; when she called and asked who it Mr. was, he merely mumbled Peel came in about that time, but not until Mrs. Peel had fled from <; the home.

It Will Collect Old Clothes In State Early Next Year -o Collection Will Be Advanc ed On Stale-Wide Seale In Jannary --' A state-wide effort to collect clothing, shoes and bedding for overseas relief, sponsored by the North Carolina Council of Churches and Rev. Henry Ruark of Chapel Hill, state chairman for Overseas Relief, announced today. Greater quantities of shoes, clothing and bedding than ever before collected must go overseas this fall and winter to the people of war devastated lands, Mr. Ar nold declared in announcing the drive. Even in countries which have made great f ogress toward reconstruction, as in Czechoslo vakia. the p' uple need clothing because they have not yet been able t'- make enough to replace theii worn garments. In other countries, millions are clad in rags, clothes so torn, patched and mended that no piece of the orig inal garment remains. These peo ple can look nowhere, except to the homes of America for help this winter. Without every spare coat, suit and dress from Ameri can closets, thousands will die in the next months from cold. The drive in North Carolina will be held from January 25-31, Mr. Arnold announced. Willi churches and church people tak ing the lead, counties will be or ganized for all-out effort by the middle of December and every community helped to plan and carry out a one day house-to house collection. The state direc tor will be named about the mid dle of October and county chair men shortly thereafter. All goods given during the drive will be sent, as they were last spring, through the Church World Service Center at New Windsor, Maryland. There they will be sorted and repacked in special overseas wrappings. Materials given through Church World Ser vice go to more than 30 countries overseas where help is needed. Jhey an? distributed through in terdenominational church commit ties on the basis of need. There is no discrimination of race, creed or political belief. The January collection is part of of the total overseas relief pro gram of the churches of North Carolina which includes year round emphasis on relief needs and ways of meeting them in in dividual churchbs and communi ties. Led by the Council of Churches, North Carolina pt ople have given, in the first half of 1947, more goods than the people of any other state in the nation, Mr, Arnold stated. More than that, their ex ample has inspired other stales and large cities to undertake simi lar programs It is hoped that last year’s goal of “a pound a person” will be overwhelmingly surpassed in the forthcoming drive. — Ueorge W.

Relieved of his shoes, Mc Aden pulled away in the race with Roberson’s wallet and about $250 in cash including a $100 bill. Called to Hamilton, Sheriff C. B. Roebuck and Deputy Buck Hol loman, assisted by Hamilton citi zens, picked up the purse snatch er's trail, but not until they had learned the man had changed clothes at home and loft barefoot ed for unannounced points. About three-quarters of a mile out on the Oak City road, Deputy Hollo man and W. E. Everett saw Mc Caden standing on the side of the road, thumbing for a ride. They stopped and grabbed him and car ried him back to Hamilton. In the first search the officers failed to find any of the missing money. McCaden had taken the large de nomination bill out and disposed of the wallet and remainder of the cash. When his shoes were re lumed to him, McCaden tried to slip the $100 bill out of a back pocket into the shoe. Deputy Hol loman recovered the bill. During the meantime, Roberson found the Wallet and most of the other money in a ditch where the thief had thrown it. After snatching the wallet from Roberson, McCaden ran to Ins home, buried the $100 bill in the yard, went into the house and changed clothes and recovered the (Continued on page six) -o Couple Are Held On Morals Charge n —«— _ | Walter Lee Hall and Lota Hen drix Morgan, allegedly posing as man and wife for about two years, were arrested here last week-end and booked for adultery. The charge was brought after Hall, a native of Savannah, Georgia, al legedly stole $250 from his com mon law wile's sister, Letlioa Gro gar, 217 Price Street, Savannah, in a local rooming house last Wed nesday night. Hall, leaving the rooming house to go for cigarettes, I caught a taxi and went to Bethel where lie was arrested by Officer Martin at the request of local po lice who had received complaints from both the Grogar and Morgan women. Hall, at a hearing before Mayor Robert Cowen, stated that he was leaving to visit his sick mother.

A ring missing from Die Grogar woman’s finger was “found” by one of the men whose identity could not be learn ed immediately. Hall, employed in the logwoods, was unable to arrange bond and was placed in the county jail. The Morgan woman was released in $100 cash bond, offcied by one of the two county men. The cases were continued in the county court late Monday when it] was learned that the prosecuting ( witness in the larceny case and the Morgan woman had disap peared.

I Proposing Extension Of Corporate Limits Citizens In Two Action To Tic In With Loup; llan^c Improvement Program Recognizing tliat a turning point liras been reached for the town and adjoining communities, local officials at the suggestion of sev eral ciitzens just outside the town ; limits are making tentative plans to submit to a vote the proposed incorporation id' that territory just outside of the town limits on and j near the Hamilton Road and the settlement in the old fair ground area known as West End. Mealing in special session last Thursday afternoon, the local town board agreed to submit the incorporation proposal to the peo ple in the two areas, and town at- I torneys were instructed to make the proper legal arrangements. It was pointed out that no spe cial legislative act is necessary, that incorporation is possible un der an over-all act passed by the last General Assembly. Aecord i ing to the law, the authorities may i propose incorporation limits, and advertise the boundary lines around the territory to be annex led. If there is no objection re I corded within a certain time after the proposed boundary lines have I been advertised, it will be legal for the town to declare the 'new limits of incorporation. Should there be objection to the exten . sion of the present town limits, fifteen percent of the citizens in the territory proposed for annexa tiorT* are to register their objec tions in written petition. Then an election will be held in accord ance with the law, leaving it, up j to a majority of the qualified vut I tors to decide the tale of the pro i pOSrit. Officials were designated to contact the citizens in the two areas under consideration fur an nexation, and discuss a long range improvement program of I fering mutual advantages to them and to the town. During the meantime should there be within the town itself any objections to the annexation of the two areas under considera tion, the objectors must give voice again.-t the proposal by a petition J carrying the names of fifteen per ! cent of the qualified voters in the town. The question about extending the town limits came up a short time ago when the local officials first discussed a long-range im provement program. For instance, there is a need for sewer line ex tensions, and the question is. Will | the town act to meet the needs of j the town as it is now incorporat- . ed. or,that !

Keel was charged with aiding and abet- J ting in prostitution was thrown ; out of the county court yesterday when Judge J. C. Smith suggested j to Solicitor Paul D. Roberson that i a nol pros with leave be taken. | The suggestion was heeded, and while the action was in reality dismissed, it is subject to be re opened. Keel, admitting in superior court that he was with Burnice Bullock and Margaret Beacham on a wild ride into Poplar Point, was charged with the crime in a j bench warrant issued at the do i rection of Judge Clawson L, Wil liams last month. 7 'i-Si-s-rOC iiuliuei,, '.-it ,11 i d 10. tin? case in which he was charged with carnal knowledge of a girl , under sixteen years of age, was to ■ have been tried for bastardy and j non-support in the court Monday, but the case was continued until December 15 when it was ex plained that the mother of the prosecuting witness had been a recent victim of a stroke of par alysis. ( imi MM !*. Officers rounded up eleven persons and placed them in the countv jail last week end, to maintain about normal law enforcement. Four were hooked for being; drunk and disorderly, two for larceny, one each lor assault, trespass, indecent exposure, drunken driving and ouc for investigation. Five of the eleven were white, the ages of the group ranging from 21 to 55 years. Circus Plays To Large Crowd Here Cole Brothers, returning here for the first time in about forty years, played to large crowds here last Friday afternoon and evening, unofficial estimates plac ing the attendance for the matinee at 4,000 and 5,000 that night. The largest show of any kind ever to play here, the circus came and went without trouble or acci dent. hut there were reportedly a few victims of the old shell game in the side tents, the "skinning" activity substantiating what Bai num said so many years ago. With a sealing capacity right at 7.000, the show described its pa tronage as being about average on its schedule outside the large cities. The circus has had only a fair season, employee - point ing out that it encountered the south ern storms and rain fell at many of its stops. The show just about lived up to its advertising claims. Five elephants were short of the eigh teen claimed, but the thirteen on hand were unusually large and well 1 rained. There were twenty nine double-length railroad ears, the advance num explaining that the thirtieth ear used for adver tising had been stopped in Green ville, The show program was high lighted by work of artists in their chosen acts, the bare-back riders, wire walker and aerialists claim ing possible the most attention. A concert, featuring the wild and woolly west and a fixed wrestling match, were retained to give the show the old ciieu at mosphere, but few remained. Federalists To Meet This Week -» Greensboro.
