[ SHEEP KlllKRS
A pack of three mongrel
dogs attacked and killed
thirty-five top lambs and
sheep in the Roberson
Slaughter House pastures
near here early last Thursday
night. Several other sheep
were attacked and wounded.
One of the dogs, belonging
to Joe Everett, colored rail
road worker here, was killed
along with a second one
whose owner has not been de
termined.
Under an old law passed at
the direction of the late Har
ry W. Stubbs in the State
Legislature, the owner of the
sheep can look to the county
for the cost of the damage.
Everett has been directed to
appear before the board of
county commissioners at the
next regular meeting.

Potency of Weed
Killer Is Proved
—*—
Whatever doubt if any Farmer
D. G. Matthews had about the
killing power of 2-D-4 or weed
killer lias been dispelled.
About a year ago, the Hamilton
farmer-business man, mixed some
weedkiller in two barrels and
sprayed weeds. The barrels were
washed dut and pushed aside un
til this spring when they were
used to mix fermate in them for
spraying tobacco plants in the
bed. The fermate proved success
ful in combatting the blue mold
and transplanting.^ went forward
on twenty acres of land. Then
the plants, after thriving for sev
eral weeks, started dying. The
troulbe was traced to the weed
killer in the barrels, but too late
to save a costly task. The twenty
acres were plowed again and new
plants from other beds were trans
planted.

Bids for the construction of
school projects in Robersonville,
Bear Grass and Williamston were
opened by the Martin County
Board of Education and Archi
tects Simpson and Savage in the
courthouse Monday afternoon, but
final action on them is awaiting
the pleasure of the county com
missioners in a joint meeting with
: the education board members to
day.
While holding to high figures,
the bids were considered about in
line with estimates furnished by
the architects and it is likely that
the commissioners will approve
the low bids and give the educa
1 tion board the go-ahead signal.
However, it is quite certain that
none of the buildings can be ready
tor occupancy until late in the
) 948-41) term.
The projects attracted about the
largest number of contractors
seen in this county since the new
j high school buildings were con
structed in Williamston and Rob
I ersonville, but even then the bid
ders were limited. There were
I four bidders on the general con
! struction of an addition to the
| Bear Grass School building and
j a cafeteria for the Robersonville
j Graded School. Only three bids
for the general construction of a
! high school unit for the Williams
ton School were received.
The total construction cost, ex
clusive of plumbing, heating and
I wiring for the Robersonville
( cafeteria, amounts to $116,446. The
i estimated costs on the Bear Grass
and Williamston projects were
1 placed by the architects at $50,
000 each, the contract figures ex
! ceeding the estimates by $2,894.00.
i The Robersonville project was
' included, more or less, as a cost
feeler, and when a low bid of $13,
942 was received the board moved
: to have it accepted. Bids for heat
| mg, plumbing and lighting for the
cafeteria were rejected as being
! too high. The general construc
tion contract low bid of $13,942
was submitted by L. M Ernest of
Greenville.
C. B. Mooney and sons of Eden
ton were low bidders on the gen
, eral construction of the Williams
ton and Bear Grass projects, bid
! ding $40,30 on the one in Wil
| liamston and $41,065 on the one ir.
Bear Grass. While most of the
j bids on the Bear Grass project
were in the forties, one was as
high as $58,714, a variation in
costs of nearly $18,000. The bids
on the Williamston project rang
ed as high as $53,719.
The Bear Grass and Wiliiams

low as $7,444 on the Bear Grass

Percy Brown Held
In Jail. Unable To
Raise $3,500 Bond
Defrmlanl Pleads Not (Juil
I) at lloarinu 11«*l«l llrrr
Last Kvonina
Charged with first degree mur
der, Richard* Percy Brown, col- j
ored janitor for the V. E. P, Com
pany in Us local offices, pleaded
not guilty at a preliminary hear
ing held before Justice J, S.
Ayers in the courthouse here last
evening. The evidence support
ed the plea, but there being prob
able cause supporting a second
degree murder or manslaughter
charge, Justice Ayers required
bond in the sum of $11,500. Unable
to arrange bond, Brown was re
turned to the county jail to await
trial in the superior court dur
ing the week of June 14,
Apparently disturbed over the
killing fit William (Lus) Midgett,
popular bellhop here, by Brown
last Friday night, the colored po
pulation was represented at the
hearing by one hundred or more
of its citizens, and there was a
goodly number of white persons
present. The defense is represent
ed by Attorney Elbert S. Peel and
Attorney Hugh G. Horton has
been employed by the dead man's
relatives in Washington County
to aid the prosecution.
Comparatively little evidence
was offered at the preliminary
hearing, and Brown, while there
is some damaging evidence, offer
ed what was considered an air
tight defense.
The first witness for the state,
Officer ('has. It. Moore, told the
court that he was on duty in Grif
fin Street, about 100 yards away
when Brown shot Midgett. Mov
ing to tile scene, the officer, get
ting his time a bit mixed up at
first, said he saw Brown walking
up and down in front of the house.
Brown was quoted as saying, "Mr.
Moore, Lord have mercy. I have
killed Lus Midgett and I would
not have k11 led him for anything
in the world 1 saw somebody
"duck” behind a bush. 1 told him
to stop, but he came on and I
shot him.” Brown also declared to
the officer that one Bill Brown
had been after him.
The officer stated that Midgett
was not dead when he reached
him, and went on to say that he
asked someone to turn on the
porch light. The officer, on cross
examination, said that Brown had
been to the police department
seeking protection from Bill
Brown. The officer also said that
Brown was apparently frightened
and worried. Brown also main
tained to the officer that Bill
Brown had a shot gun and a pis
tol, that he had chased him (Percy
Brown). The officer described
how the load of gun shot was fir
ed through the screen door and
the position of the dying man
when he found him. Brown ask
ed him to call a doctor, It was
also pointed out that there were
bushes on either side of the walk
way and that Midgett was not
armed.
Chief W. E. Saunders, the next
witness, stated he reached the
scene of the killing about 9:00
o’clock, that Brown admitted the
attack. The officer said that the
load of shot tore a hole about the
size of a 25-cent piece in the
screen door, that there were pow
der burns. On cross examination,
the officer said that Percy Brown
had reported to him earlier in the
week, possibly on Wednesday,
that Bill Brown was after him,
that he (Bill Brown) carried a
shot gun in his truck and a pistol

killer Killing Vi as
A Oise of Mistaken
Identity
William (Lus) Midgette, boll
hop for a local hotel for ten or
twelve years, was shot and almost
instantly killed by Percy Brown,
also colored at Brown's home on
Jamesville Street here shortly be
fore 9:00 o’clock last Friday even
ing. The victim of alleged mis
taken identity, Midgette died in
Brown's yard before medical aid
could reach him. Struck by the
full load of very large shot from
a ..ingle barrell gun, he keeled
over backwards out of the porch,
his feet resting on the door steps
and his head lying in the yard.
The load took effect in the chest,
several of the shot piercing the
heart.
Immediately after the shooting,
Brown was said to have jumped
up and down on his porch shout
ing he had killed the wrong man.
lie then ran to a filling station
and asked that a doctor be called.
Officers Chas. R. Moore and John
Roebuck, investigating a com
plaint, were only a few hundred
feet away on Griffin Street when
they heard the gun fire. They
moved over to the Brown home
and Brown surrendered.
While Brown maintains that it
was a case of mistaken identity,
the ease has its complications,
some voicing the belief that
i Brown actually got the right man.
Others point out that the two
were the best of friends, that Mid
gette, a good matured person and
one who admittedly had moved
away from trouble rather than to
ward it, had started to see Brown
on a friendly visit.
According to Brown's story, the
killing is the climax of trouble
brewing over a period of months.
Brown declares that William
Brown attempted to break up his
(Percy’s) home, that he ordered
him to stay away. Bill Brown,
questioned after the shooting,
stated that Percy Brown had
warned him about twelve months
ago to stay away, and that he had
obeyed the warning, denying Per
cy Borwn’s allegations. Earlier
in the week Percy Brown, on two
occasions, visited the >oliee sta
tion and declared that Bill Brown
was carrying a gun for him, and it
was agreed, upon the suggestion
of Percy Brown, that the officers
would search the man for a pistol
on Saturday, that he would very
likely catry the gun at that time.
Trouble in the Brown family
moved toward a climax about ten
days or two weeks ago when he
forced his wife to leave home, the
wife, Lucy, declaring that her
husband’s accusations associating
her with Bill Brown were un
founded. She intimated that her
husband wanted to get rid of her,
that he was involved with another
woman. Officers are investigat
ing the second-woman angle on
the theory that Midgette was
tramping on Brown’s illicit love

ing organizations, including
civic clubs and the V. S. De
partment of Agriculture
Council, staling that a special
poison mix is being delivered
here today for distribution to
farm homes by the school
children tomorrow.
The response to the call for
an all-out war on rats was not
well received in some sections
of the county, but it is certain
to go over big in other com

Poll Favors Moiv
Pay lor Teachers
-u
Raleigh. Tar Heel citizens
agree with their public school
teachers that teachers’ salaries are
too low, a recent poll of citizens
from all over the state indicated.
According to tabulations to
date, three out of four North Car
oilmans think beginning teachers
should get more money than the
$1620 they now receive.
One-third of the 90,000 ques
tionnaires sent out through such
j agencies as the- schools, civic
I clubs, and similar organizations
| concerned the problems of flu
| teaching personnel in the public
schools. W. It. Fletnmons, Exec
j utive Secretary of the Education
I Commission, says that enough re
l plies have been received to give
| a definite indication of the oub
! lie's ideas on teacher pay.
Nearly four-fifths of the topic
i sentative citizens questioned said
that teachers should start with a
| higher salary. Two thirds said
| that teachers with five years of
j college training and 15 years ex
j pcrience should have between $3,
I 000 and $4,000 a year.
The public said the following
, 1 actors, in order of their ini
poi tancc, should determine teach
er pay: years of experience, quail
; ty of service, years of college edu
cation, kind of certificate held,
| cost of living, and location ot
| school (rural or urban). Number
■ of dependents and sex were con
sidered least important,
j The public voted ten to one for
i sick leave of six days or more
I each year for teachers, and six to
| one for employing teachers foi
,9 1-2 to 10 months so that the
years program can be planned in
i advance.
j A similar questionnaire was

last Saturday afternoon, a few
faithful Democrats from seven of
the thirteen precincts perfected
an organization pretty much along

personnel for another two years.
There were no speeches and no is
j .sues were advanced, and, strange
• 1 y enough, politics were not men*

While some of the county con
vention voiced open opposition to
Mr. Truman's candidacy for ihe
party's nomination next month in
Philadelphia, the little group of
Democrats gathered in this county
1 remained quiet on the subject, but
individually there was opposition
j to the nomination.'
While there were no radical
changes in the make-up of tha
\ organization in this county, new
j committee members were named
, to fill positions made vacant by
i the deaths of Mr. J. S. Ayers of
| Cross Roads and Miss Effie Waldo
| of Hamilton and to give the wo
j men greater representation. How
ever. the fair sex was not repre
sented at the Saturday meeting.
