Opening a two-week term next I
Monday morning for the trial of j
civil cases only, Judge W. H. S. i
Burgwyn is slated to handle a i
I calendar carrying thirty-one cas- j
es, including seven divorce ac
tions. Although most of the cases
are minor ones, several big dam
age suits are pending trial next
Tuesday and the week following.
All told, the plaintiffs are asking
a total of $71,937.07. Nine are
asking $45,010,34 as a result of
motor vehicle accidents. Several
of the damage suits were continu
ed previously when counsel for
the insurance companies was un
able to attend on account of ill
ness.
Even though some big damage
suits are on the calendar, it isn't
likely that the court will attract
very much attention. Cases have
been scheduled for trial only on
the first three days of each week
and it is probably that all the
time set aside for the trials will
not be consumed.
One of the larger damage suits!
charges a Williamston doctor with!
mal practice or negligence. The I
plaintiff, R. B. Speller, adminis
trator of the estate of Mary Spell-1
er, is asking $15,000 damages from'
Dr. Edward L. Early. The plain
tiff says in his complaint that the
defendant was employed in Nov
ember, 1948, to attend the plain
tiff's wife, and charges that the
defendant was negligent and fail
ed to attend to patient, allowing
her to remain in child birth ap
proximately 24 hours. The plain
tiff also alleges that the defendant
failed to remove the after-birth
and objected to and delayed hos-'
pitalization, that the child and
mother died on December 7, 1946.1
The case is set for trial next Tues-1
day.
Listed among the big damage
suits growing out of automobile
accidents are the one brought by
Margie Sullivan and J. B. Sulli-!
van against Amos Cox and Vance
Harrington. The plaintiffs were
critically injured on the night of
January 18, 1947, when their ear
struck a truck driven by Cox and
owned by Harrington and parked
in the highway between Bethel
and Greenville. Mrs. Sullivan is
asking $10,000 and Mr. Sullivan
is asking $5,000 damages.
Two cases are pending against,
Robert Hardison, both of them
having been brought, it was de-:
dared, after a friendly fashion.!
E. G. Modlin, asking $10,000, says'
he was a passenger in the Hardi-1
son car on the night of last Nov-|
ember 8, when the defendant
wrecked the machine in or near
Plymouth, causing him perma-1
nent injury. James E. Godard,
suing by his next friend, Lizzie
Godard, is asking $18,000 of Har- i
dison. Godard was also a pas-!
senger in the Hardison car along
with Modlin. The big auto dam- ;
age suits are set for trial on Tues- I
day, April 20.
The case asking that the guard- !
ianship for P. P. Peel be dismissed j
is again on the calendar. The j
guardian has asked to be dis
charged, but the request was de- j
layed pending the receipt of per- j
mission from the Veterans' Ad- 1
ministration.
D. M. Roberson is suing the A.
C. L. Railroad Company for
$747.76 damages allegedly due
him as a result of damage done to
a shipment of hogs from Illinois
in August. 1943.
A boundary line is involved in
the case of Elizabeth Pierce
against Ben Biggs, the plaintiff!
charging that the defendant had
cut timber across the line.

PROGRESSING
The annual Cancer Fund
Drive is progressing rapidly
in this county, according to a
I report released yesterday by
Mrs. Chas. I. Harris, county
commander. Explaining that
only a fen' reports had been
received, Mrs. Harris said
that the drive was meeting
with success in those she had
heard from, that Williamston
raised more than half of its
quota in the first few days.
The chairman is confident
that the $1,500 goal will be
reached.
The importance of the fund
was stressed this week when
several needy cases appealed
for help. "There’s one pa
thetic case at least in the
county now,” Mrs. Harris
said, explaining that the vic
tim was without means of
help, that a few dollars would
materially help. The fund
could use to a great advan
tage far more than the $1,500,
and it has been pointed out
that if the general public
really knew the need, the
fund would he doubled or
tripled without delay.

had been in declining health for
almost three years, receiving mod
ical treatment in a Durham hos

more time to business than he did
down through the years, ever re
mindful of his obligation to his
family, his church and his com
munity. He was one of the solid
supporters of the Everetts Baptist
Church for many years.
In early manhood he was mar
ried to Miss Sallie Grimes and she

Steal Safe From
Store In Bethel
Breaking intiT^he Herbert L.
Rivers drug store in Bethel some
time during late Tuesday night
or early Wednesday morning,
robbers cari ied away a compara
tively large iron safe. They are
believed to have used a truck, and

Petition To Ban Beer- Wine
Sales Gets Strong Support
- ■ — ♦
A movement to ban the sale of
wine and beer in Martin County
is gathering momentum rapidly,
religious leaders and prominent
laymen predicting in a meeting
held in the Memorial Baptist
Church here Tuesday evening of
this week that a sizable majority
would support the undertaking
in a referendum.
Originally called to get an ex
pression from leaders in various
ports of the county, the meeting
voiced strong support for the
movement and called for imme
diate action.
Petitions, urging the county
: commissioners to provide a spec- j
ial election in which the voters
may express their wishes, were
placed in the hands of a dozen or
more volunteer workers at the
meeting, and others are being re
quested by mail, it was learned.
Fifteen percent of the qualified
voters must sign the petition be
fore the commissioners can be ex
pected to provide a vote on the
question.
No direct reports on the early
circulation of the petition could
be had, but leaders at the meet
ing expressed the belief that the|
movement would gain support ra- (
pidly, that liquor as well as wine
and beer should have been includ
ed.
All but two of the ten town
ships were represented and those
two explained their absence, add
ing that they would support the
plan.
| Petitions were placed Tuesday
night in the hands of Sidney
Boone, N. J. Ward, C. B. Bur
roughs, C. B. Bowen, H. L. Roe
buck, A. E. Purvis, E. Thad Ash

Very Few Divorce
Cases On Calendar
In Superior Court!
~7“•—7
Actions Slated For
Trial Melon* Jiolgic
Mnriiwvn Uloiulnv
'—2—«
Seven divorce eases — about
one third the usual number
have been calendared and are ten
tatively set for trial in the Martin
County Superior Court next Mon
day morning when Judge W. H
S. Burgwyn opens a two-week
special term. No criminal eases
are to be tried during the term. (
While the number of divorces |
on the calendar is recognized as a|
new low for recent years, the re |
cord does not necessarily mean j
that the domestic front is settling'
down to one of peace and agree
ment. There is a fairly definite
increase in the number of non
support cases in the other courts
for one to find encouragement in
the reduced number of divorce
eases on the superior court docket
at this time.
All the divorce cases placed on
the calendar are based on two
year-separation grounds except
one, and that has a double foun
dation adultery and two years
of separation. Only one of the
cases is Contested, the defendant
denying the adultery charges.
Several of the cases have been
calendared for trial at previous
sessions, but were continued for
one reason or another. It was in
timated that the plaintiffs were
unable to finance the actions.
Beautie Andrews in his divorce
action against Mattie Lee An
drews, says they were married in
11)40 and separated in 1944 when
the defendant without notice de
serted him and went to Philadel
phia. No children were born to
the union.
Jn the case of Margaret Wilson
against Bill Wilson, the complaint
says they were married in 1937
and separated in 1938.
In his complaint against Irma
Allen Harrell, the plaintiff, Roy
Harrells says they were married
on July 10, 1922, and separated
on April 15, 1944, that all chil
dren born to the union are grown
and self supporting.
Married on December 8, 1942,
and separated on December 9,
1942, Bonnie E. Bland in his ac
tion against Alease Moore Bland
charges adultery and claims also
two-year separation as a basis for
a divorce. The defendant is deny
ing the allegations. The ease has
been in the courts for a year or
I more.

Of Man s Hotly
Tlit; body of John Staton (Bud)
Williams, fiO-year old man who
lost his lift- by drowning in the
Roanoke between here and Ham
ilton last Sunday noon, has not
been found, according to infer
matlon reaching here today.
Quite a lew persons have
searched for the body, but no
trace of it or the boat has been
found. A tug is be in A returned
to the scene today to pull the
barges away again. Dynamite was
used unsuccessfully earlier in the
week in an effort to force the
body to the surface.
Unable to explain the disap
pearanee of the first boat, search
ers took a second boat about the
si/e of the one Williams and his
son, Lory, were using and allowed
it to drift into the barge. The
boat was sucked under the barge
and it disappeared, leading the
searchers to believe that it was
sucked into a cave washed out by
water rushing around the river
bend and eating its way into the
bank.

i Citizens Vote On
Special Issue In
June I.") Election
—•—
Hoard l)i«<-ii«s»“s Problems j
\l Tuesday \I«•«•!!ii<le With
Police I )e|uirtinent
Plans for holding a bond elec
tion to raise $100,000 to eliminate
the critical water supply problem
here were advanced at a regular
i meeting of the board of town
commissioners in session last
Tuesday evening when the vote
on the special issue was schedul
i‘d for June 12 and registrars and
1 judges of election were named.
A special registration will be
held beginning on Friday, May 28,
j and Mr. John E. Pope is to serve
! as registrar. Messrs. Reg Sirnp
j son and J. T. Price were named
judges of election.
The action is being taken, it was
! pointed out. to remedy a serious
' condition now existing in the
town. The present system was in
stalled nearly thirty years ago
when the population was hardly
| a fourth of which it is now'. Nit
j additions have been made to thu
■ plant since that time and the stor
| age capacity offers only u few
j hours' reserve. The commission
ers are proposing to install a 300,
| 000 gallon capacity elevated stor
age tank and necessary extensions
I of the water mains to put water
1 in reach of every piece of proper
! ty in town.
Preliminary estimates show
that the bond issue can be float
ed without necessarily aggravat
ing tlie tax rate. A detailed study
is to be made and the facts will
be submitted to the public for a
full discussion before the issue is
placed before the voters. The
town's debt is now, $235,000, an
amount equal to hardly six per
cent of the assessed property val
uation. Most of the existing debt
is to be retired in about ten years.
Discussing the water supply
and costs, the authorities ordered
a 25 cent increase in individual
customer accounts outside the
town limits. The new rate boosts
the minimum from $1.05 to $2.00.
Minimum charges inside the town
were left at $1.25. The graduated
scale calls for a 5-rent per thous
and gallon increase for out-of
town customers using 45,000 or
more gallons. It is estimated that
the new rate wil boost revenue
! about $75 per month.
Discussing police department
problems with the new chief, W.
1,. Saunders, and the other five
members of the force, Chas. R.
Moore, Arthur Perry, Bill Haislip,
Raymond Rawls and John Roe-'
1 buck, the board members outlined
! what they expected of the depart
j ment and directed every man to
do Ins duty. "We expect to sup
port you in the performance of
your duty," Mayor Robt. Cowen
told the police, adding that many
<>f the complaints once directed at |
the depart merit had been remedi
ed, that the people, as a whole,
were proud of the police depart
ment as now constituted and that
its work had received much
praise While a strict enforcement j
j of the law is expected, irrespec
tive of race or standing, there’s
no intention of making the work
1 obnoxious. Applicants for jobs in
the department are to submit
written applications along with
'recommendations. When positions
arc to be filled, the board will
I approve or reject them, leaving
the "luring” and ''filing" job with
the chief.
"We want you to work together,
and if you have problems bring
them to us." the mayor said, mak
ing it fairly clear that if harmony
j and an effective working team is
