Limited Quantity of Poison

Stores At Present
Attacking the tobacco crop in
^ this county in vast numbers, j
aphids or plant lice are being]
subjected to a strong counter-at
tack by numbers of farmers.
While a few farmers have con
tracted with airplane operators to
poison their crops, most of them
are using handsprayers with fair
ly good results, according to re
ports reaching here,
g, The lice infestation is fairly
general, but the infestation is
somewhat spotted in the fields,
and those farmers who have ade
quately poisoned the lice state
they have seen no further signs
of infestation.
Poisoning by airplane at the
present time is being limited to
crops in the upper part of the
I county, and all contracts have not
been carried out there, it was
learned.
Reports reaching here yester
day stated that special spray ma
chines had been moved into Pitt
County from Georgia, that they
were being used with much suc
cess.
The supply of poison for the
control of the lice, vapotone (tet
• raethyl pyrosophosphate) is lim
ited here at the persent time. A
shipment was flown into this
state from California the latter
part of last week, and apparently
the supply is not sufficient to
meet the demand. Local dealers
stated yesterday that they sold
out the first shipment they re
I reived, and one firm sent a spec
ial messenger to Raleigh yester
day for about sixteen gallons. Or
ders were accumulating fast yes
terday and the supply is not ex
pected to last very long.
Described as a very deadly
poison, vapotone is diluted at the |
rate of about one part to 800 parts I
of Water The riu re' potent type,

Parole Hearing
For Frank Green
A public hearing on the appli
cation filed with the .state com
missioner of paroles, Hathaway
Cross, by Frank Green for a pa
role is being scheduled in Raleigh.1
It could not be learned just when
tlie hearing would be held, one re
port stating that it would be held
on a Tuesday. 1
*Frank Green, while in a drunk
en condition and on a wild ride,
ran down and instantly killed
Garland Bailey, wd critically in
jured four other”persons at the
intersection of the JVashington
and Bear Grass roads the early I
part of last year.
In June of last year he w as con- ]
victed of manslaughter and was j
sentenced to the roads for not less I
than five and not more than eight;
years. In April of this year that I
sentence was reduced to not less
than three and not more than five'
years. And now it is proposed to
turn him out.
Members of the wreck victims’
families have been notified the
hearing will be held in Raleigh.
Some of them explained they
could not afford to lose a day's
work, and that they really aren’t
able to finance the trip.
Despite determined opposition,
relatives of the wreck victims re
ceived meager amounts of money
from tne insurance company', but
just about all that is gone and now
some of the families are on relief.

Republicans Meet
Ifi Philadelphia
Opening their presidential nom
inating convention in Philadel
phia at 10 o'clock in Philadelphia
Monday morning, the country's
Republicans are expected to start
Wednesday or Thursday ballot
ing for a standard-bearer. Dur
ing the meantime, the Republi
cans are dodging around and ex
plaining away their record chalk
ed up in the second session of the
eightieth Congress brought to a
I hectic lose early Sunday morn
ing.
No first ballot nomination is ex
pected. The Old Guard has about
worn out its main candidates, in
eluding Governor Thomas E
IX ■ ■ ;■ <it Me’.'.' York, Senator Ho
bert A. Taft of Ohio, Former Gov
ernor Harold E. Stassen of Minne
sota, Governor Earl Warren ol
California, and General Douglas
MacArthur, who have been
through the primary campaigns
Varulenburg and Joe Martin
speaker of the House, are recog
nized as the “dark horses”.
Dewey and Taft are conceded
fairly prominent positions with
Stassen rating a third spot.
v\ hat about the Vice Presidun
tial candidate? That race is wide
open. Nobody is openly and ex
clusively a candidate lor second
place on the ticket, and the win
ning Presidential nominee will
have a big say in who is chosen.
What about the platform? No
major controversies are expected
on foreign affairs—although the
Republican Party is split on the
issue of isolationism vs. interna
tionalism—because the leading
candidates have, in general, sup
ported the major points of the bi
partisan foreign policy of the Tru
man administration and Vanden
berg. One issue involves the
housing plank upon which the
Senate and House have split. A
strong civil rights plank is ex
pected.
What is the convention city
mood? For the first time since
1928, the Republicans genuinely
are confident their nominee will
win—whoever he is.
Is there real basis for their con
fidence? The answer to that will
be forthcoming in November,

H(b|)ilaliznl for Rad
Cut On Head
! Two persons were hurt, one
'dangerously, in a series of high
! way accidents reported on Martin
County highways Sunday and
early Monday. Property damage
was estimated at less than $350
by Patrolman J. T. Rowe who
made the investigations.
The first in the series was re
ported at 12:30 o'clock Sunday j
morning when W. McKinley Mai -
liner, young colored man home
from New York, ran his 1934 Ford
station wagon into a ditch while
driving south on the Poplar Chap
el Road in Jamesville Township.
The driver, said to have been
thrown partly through the wind
shield, was cut badly on the side
of the head and possibly .suffered
a skull fracture. He was removed
to a Washington hospital in a
Biggs ambulance, late reports stat
ing that he is expected to recover.
The driver’s father, Augustus
Marriner, was hurt in his left side,
possibly suffering several cjacked
or broken ribs. Damage to the
car was estimated at hardly more |
than $15 by Patrolman Rowe who
investigated the accident with
Cpl. T. W. Fearing.
Driving north on Highway 17
at 11:30 o’clock Sunday night,
Hubert Davis Smith, 19, started to
pass Francis Carroll Keel who was
also traveling into Williamston
and who had just started to make
a left turn at Skewarkey church.
Smith’s car, a 1937 Ford sedan,
had its right side battered badly,
Patrolman Rowe estimating the
damage at about $90. The Keel
car, a 1947 Oldsmobile owned by
Mrs. L L. Keel, of Oak City, had
its left side battered, the patrol
man estimating that repairs would
cost approximately $120. Keel
was said to have given a signal
for a left turn, and Smith was
quoted as saying that he just fail
i‘d"to":itc it ill i'l'ne. No one was
huri.
Joe Walter Williams, 21-year

was not hurt but Patrolman Rowe
booked him for drunken driving.
A man, whose name could not
be learned immediately, was said

Small Vote Is Predicted In
County and State Saturday
The small vote cast in the gub
ernatorial contest in the first pri
mary the 29th of last month will
appear large when compared with
the expected vo^e in the second
primary on Saturday of this week.
Unless something strikes rather
more than 2,250 votes are likely to
be cast in the second guberna
torial round between 6..»0 o’clock
a. m. and H:H0 o’clock p m on Sal
urday of this week. The contest
between Ciias. M. Johnson and
Kerr Scott for the governorship
has been seldom mentioned in this
county since the May 29 primary.
It is quite noticeable that quite a
lew of the leaders of the Johnson
forces who were fairly active in
this county during the campaign
prior to the first piimary are tak
ing very little interest in the ap
proaching show-down.
Martin County cast only 2,149
votes in the first primary. State
political dopesteis arc predicting
will be cast in the 100 counties on
Saturday of this week. However,
then- is ..onic doubt if.as many as
800,000 volt.. will hi 1 a-I on Satur
day of this week. Very few con
tests are being carried into a sec
ond primary. There is none in
this county and only one congrcs
siorial race going into a second
and final round. The absence of
local contests is certain to influ

Plan To Place Order
For Parking Meters
Extensive Repairs
Vre Necessary To|
Town Water Tank1
-—
Bonn! Ins|i<-<ls Fivo Typos
Of I'iirkin^ Mrlers
At Meetings
Examining at least five types in
special meetings held last Thurs
day evening and this morning,
Williamston's town commissioners
are expected to place an order for
parking meters within a short
time. The various types of me
chanisms and contract terms are
being studied, one representative
of the board declaring it was a
problem to decide on any parti
cular meter.
At the meeting last Thursday
evening, the commissioners offic
ially cancelled a tentative contract
for the installation of a 300,000
| gallon capacity elevated water
tank in accordance with the wish
es expressed by the people in the
special bond election the Tuesday
before. Very little comment was
I made, but the mayor advanced the
'opinion that a dangerous decision
had been made. "It is true that
the board in ordering the election
has cleared itself of any blame,
but that is not the thing about it
The best interests of the town, in
cluding an adequate water supply
and available service for all Un
people m the town, are to be con
sidered. While we are fairly cer
j tain that if the people really knew
I the facts they would favor the
| program, we hardly think it our
I duty to provide another election
uist now,” representatives of the
| board said.
| Advised that the tentative con
j tract was being cancelled and that
| no other plans are being made to
tie Vvii.te: ... .-.u lii. Na,n i
mV-ndor.t K. K Manning ot the
water department said that he
had hoped plans for installing a
new tank would go through. Dis
(ussing the present system, the
superintendent explained that
new tie rods are badly needed in
the tank, that the roof should be
icplaced and that tin- tank is leak
ing m several places. It is esti
mated that repairs to the tank will
cost approximately $2,500.
Following the water system dis
eussion, the commissioners heard
salesmen of three parking meter
manufacturers. Two of the meter
types are manually operated, one
manufactured by the Mieo Park
ing Meter Company of Cincinnati
and the other by the Miller Meter
Company of Chicago. The Mieo
machine was quoted at $54 per
unit plus a $4.50 installation. The
Miller meter, in use in' several
surrounding towns, was quoted at
$75 per unit, but for every 100
meters purchased, the company
allows a bonus of fifteen, bringing
the price nearer into line with the
other manually operated machine.
A new type of meter was de
monstrated at the Thursday even
mg meeting. Representatives of
the American LaFrance Fire En
gine Company displayed and ex
plained something new in the
meter field. They have what is
called a dual meter, or one that
will serve two parking places
with the same mechanism. In
other words, the meter will serve
two parking places at the cost of
one $75 meter and eliminate one
hull the “fence posts” on the
streets, it is mechanically oper
ated.
The meters demonstrated today
are of the mechanical type.
At the meeting last week it was
pointed out that about the same
contract holds for installation and
maintenance. The companies
lagree to install the meters and
take a certain pe centage of the
freight charges and the purchase
< osf ai o paid. If, at the end of
1 line i‘of!f.h<- ;i wb:.1: rg'o.vr ,i!.n-.
satisfactory, the selling company
will remove the meters and re
pair the sidewalks without charge
to the town.

“We've had large deliveries

The lull effect of the hodge

Free To Farmers
Instead of piling and destroy
ing surplus irish potatoes as they
did last year, government agencies
are offering the surplus to farmers
free and freight-paid with the
understanding that the potatoes
will be fed to livestock.
Farmers in this county who are
into ex ted in getting irish potatoes
free for livestock feeding are di

county agent without delay.
The freight is paid on the pota
toes and there is no charge what

obligation the farmer is required
to accept is that he'll unload the
potatoes regardless of the condi
