Tribunal Handling Civil
A'rtd Divorce Cases At
The Present Time
Encountering unforeseen ob
stacles, including excessive heat
and long, drawn-out actions, the
Martih County Superior Court
last Friday noon completed the
trial of criminal cases, tentatively
scheduled to have been cleared in
two days. The tribunal is now
working on divorce and civil cases
with the prospect that adjourn
ment will come before the end of
the week.
All of one day and part of two
^ others were spent hearing the
conspiracy-arson cases against
Clarence Taper and Edward Lee
Lacy. The cases were called Wed
nesday afternoon and were given
to the jury Friday morning when
a not guilty verdict was returned.
Commenting on the case Judge W.
H. S. Burgwyn, presiding, stated
that Taper came mighty close to
the penitentiary, that if the jury
had found him guilty a prison sen
tepee certainly would have been
in order. Taper, learning the fav
orable verdict, did not tarry long
around the courthouse, explaining
as he left that he was leaving be
fore the judge changed his mind.
Other proceedings not previous
ly reported:
The aged case, charging Henry
^ Lee Fred Shelby with violating
the motor vehicle laws, was nol
prossed.
George Green and Ananias
Thompson, charged with larceny
were sentenced to the roads for
twelve months, the court suspend
ing the Thompson sentence on
condition that he pay the costs
and refund Sadie Ruffin $85, the
amount stolen from her in a Wil
liamston beer parlor. The defense
maintained that the prosecution
entered the court with tainted
hands, that it had sold the de
fendants beer after hours.
Charged with stealing an auto
mobile, Alexander James pleaded
guilty of temporary larceny and

High School Band
Going to Durham
- —»■—
Professor Jack Butler, director i
of the Williamston High School
Band, has announced acceptance
of an invitation to take part jn a
“Tobaccoland Jubilee” parade at
Durham next Saturday.
Plans have been completed for j
transportation of the band mem
ber* and instruments save for the
matter of an extra car or two to
carry some of the young musi-1
clans. A Trailways bus will car
ry some 40 of the band members
' and two cars have already been
secured for transportation of the
majorettes who will dress after
they reach Durham.
The bus is scheduled to leave at
5:30 Saturday morning as the unit
is supposed to be in Durham by 9
o’clock and the parade starts at
10. The youngsters will not have
a part in the football program at
^ Duke Stadium but will be guests
of the city of Durham at the Duke
Tennessee game in the afternoon.
Drills are scheduled for morn
ings this week beginning Wednes
day and a full scale drill and pa
rade will be held on Smithwick
Street Thursday afternoon at 4
o’clock if arrangements can be
fnfcde to clear the street. Two
Army sergeants are to aid Profcs
sor Butler in polishing up the drill
wdk'l* of the band and he hopes to
I have them in top shape for the
big event in Durham where they
will march behind their own
school colors for the first time
away from home.
Professor Butler is asking that
all band parents have their child
ren eat as large a breakfast as pos
sible and he is arranging to take
ice water in jugs on the bus since .
he vPill not permit drinking of!
soft drinks en route to the parade '
for fear of some youngster’s sto
mach going “tight” in the parade.
He advised parents to prepare a
few sandwiches for the children
to take along. One of these be
fore the parade would not hurt
and they would come in handy on
the way home.

Loses Appeal To
Supreme Court;
Must Serve Time
■ — o ■ —
Court Expected To Invoke
Sentence In Eddie Woot
en Speeding Case
-o
George Eddie Wooten, Kinston
taxi driver, must serve a 60-day
road sentence lor speeding on
Martin County highways, the
North Carolina State Supreme
Court ruled last week. The de
fendant fought the action through
the county recorder’s court, the
superior court and the high court
and lost.
Just a little over a year ago,
Wooten was caught speeding by
local officers and was carried into
the county court on September 8,
1947. He pleaded guilty and Judge
J. C. Smith sentenced him to the
roads for sixty days, suspending
the road term upon the payment
of the costs of the case and a $25
fine. The court also directed that
the defendant refrain from operat
ing a motor vehicle for four
months.
It did not take Wooten long to
violate the provisions of the judg
ment and he was brought back in
to the county court and Judge
Smith invoked the 60-day sen
tence. Wooten appealed to the
superior court, bond having been
required in the sum of $200. At the
following session of the superior
court in March of this year, Judge
R. Hunt Parker upheld the action
of Judge Smith, and Wooten ap- ,
pealed to the State Supreme
Court, bond having been required
in the sum ol $300 for his appear
ance and $100 for appeal costs.
The State court rendered a de
cision a few' days ago, upholding
the actions of the lower courts
and billing the defendant $26.25
for additional costs.
In the superior court last week,
Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn remand
ed the case to the county record
er’s court I •
i Advised the jig was up, Wooten
reported last week-end and asked
that he be. allowed to start serving
the sentence. Judge J. C. Smith,
contacted and advised of Wooten’s
wishes, complied and invoked the
sentence which v/ent into effect
last Saturday.
The case was one of the first of
it? kind to reach the high court.
Hamilton Citizen

3 O’Cloek for Mrs. R.
W. Salsiniry
Funeral services are being con
ducted at the late home in Hamil
ton this afternoon at 3:00 o'clock

day morning following an illness
of seven months’ duration. Her
pastor, Elder A. B. Dt*ison of
Rocky Mount, will conduct the
last rites and interment will be in
the family plot in Hamilton’s
cemetery.
Mrs. Salsbury suffered an at
tack of pneumonia the latter part
of last February and had been in
declining health since that time.
Her condition had been critical for
six weeks and the end, coming

the daughter of the late John A.
and Jennie Worsley Davis, mem
bers of prominent families in this

studying in the private schools in
Edgecombe she was graduated
from a church school in New Jer
sey. She was married to Mr. Sals
bury on November 24, 1901, and
made her home in Hamilton since
that time. She joined the church
at Spring Green and was one of its
most dependable members down
through the years, giving freely
her time and means to its support.
Only recently she had a part in
the plans for entertaining the as
sociation there this week-end.
Surviving besides her husband
are a brother, Dr. J. A. Davis of
Roanoke, Virginia; a half-sister,
Mrs. James Lancaster of New

Minor Car Wreck
Near Cold Point
No one was' hurt and very little
damage resulted when two cars
crashed at a road intersection
near Gold Point early last Sunday
afternoon.
Driving a 1947 Oldsmobile, Wil
liam A. Harrison of Greenville en
tered the highway from Roberson
ville to Gold Point from a side
road and crashed into the 1942
Pontiac driven by W. M. Vander
ford.
Investigating the accident, Pa
trolman M. F. Powers estimated
the damage to the Harrison car at
$50 and that to the Venderford
machine at $30.
The accident was the only oni
reported in the county during the
week-end.
Cow Case Finally
Goes Off Docket
In Superior Court
Few Ollier Civil Cases Are
Heard During First Day
Of Second Week
After spending most of Monday
morning tearing asunder the'
bonds of matrimony in twelve
cases, the Martin County Superior
Court tackled the civil calendar,
clearing from it the bewhiskered
cow case brought by A. W. Hardi
son against Bettie Williams, and
several other actions when the
litigants reached agreements or
compromised their differences.
The cow case, hanging fire for
about a year, went off the calen
dar when the plaintiff voluntarily
accepted a non-suit, but not until
evidence had been offered for
more than an hour and one of the
litigants and a witness engaged in
a minor affray.
The case was a bit complicated,
and all the litigants apparently
were convinced they had founda
tions to support them in court.
About three and one-half years
ago, Oscar Jones bought a cow
from Andrew Griffin for $20.
When the cow was delivered to
the Jones home, Mrs. Jones ex
plained to her husband that since
he had sold her cow, she would
claim the animal. The husband
agreed.
About a year ago, the plaintiff
contacted Jones and offered him
$20(1 for the cow, agreeing to take
up a note for $50 for Jones and
pay the difference of $150. Jones
said that the cow belonged to his
wife, that Hardison would have to
see her. During the meantime,
Mrs. Jones lent the cow to the de
fendant, Mrs. Bettie Williams,
with the understanding that if the |
cow was to be sold, Mrs. Wil
liams would be given-first refusal.
The plaintiff, thinking the cow
, belonged to him, got out claim
and delivery papers and entered
the courts. While the judgment
shows the case went off the docket
i by the non-suit route, it was re
| ported that the plaintiff is to re
cover the $50 advanced to retire
; the Jones note, that Mrs. Ada !
i Jones is the rightful owner of the
j cow. One report stated that the !
j cow had been sold to another par
ty, but he was not involved.
A case sidelight developed
! through a misunderstanding, but
| not until a fisticuff resulted be
tween Plaintiff Hardison and Wit
ness Stuart Tetterton. Plaintiff
Hardison, switching to the de
fense temporarily, received a
bruise on the face but the fracas,
taking place outside the court
house, did not amount to much
and did not reach the courts.
A voluntary non-suit was taken
by the plaintiff in the case of K
B. Crawford against J. S. Peel.
The damage suit, brought by T.
S. Critcher against C. D. Pittman
and growing out of an automobile
accident, was compromised, the
plaintiff receiving $119.
A consent judgment was enter
ed in the case of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company
against R. S. Critcher. The plain
tiff was admitted to be the own
er of certain property between
Williamston's Pearl and Sycamore

Rolls Full Speed
Ahead In Court
JihI^o Delay* Signing De
cree Until Support Angle
I* Investigated
Quitting the criminal docket
last Friday, the Martin County
Superior Court, Judge W. H. S.
Burgwyn of Jackson presiding,
Monday cranked up its divorce
machine and the bonds of matri
mony were shattered in rapid
order.
But all the divorces were not
granted without close questioning
by the jurist who delayed signing
a judgment in one case until he
could investigate "if the divorce
will affect support allowed the
plaintiff's estranged wife.” The
judgment was later signed.
In another case Judge Burgwyn
rapped down on a plaintiff who
played the ease silently. Walter
Godard, colored man, in his case
against Delzora Godard, said he
had five children, that he gave
them some support when he hap
pened to pass their way. “It re
minds me of the tramp, who went
to a home begging for a meal,”
Judge Burgwyn said. "The lady of
the house suggested that the
tramp saw some wood, but the
tramp explained he was so weak
he would have to eat first. Given
the meal, the tramp was advised
by the lady of the house that she
had to go up town and expected to
find the wood sawed upon her re
turn. A note was found attached
to the saw bench and it read, ‘Tell
’em you saw me but did not see me
saw’.” The little story apparently
fitted Godard’s case.
Other divorces were granted, as
follows:
John Long from Ada Long, Bea
trice Kills Rackley from Raymond
Rackley, Samuel Clark front Ruby
Clement Clark, Abram Jones from
Lizzie Jones, Ben FrJnk Roberson
from Annie Lee Roberson, James
D. Bishop from Bessie Coffield
Bishop, Elsie Bryant from James j
Edward Bryant, Carthine S.
Daigle from Roman F. Daigle, Pat
tie M^hi taker from Hubert F. Whit
aker, and Daniel Webster Wil
liams from Vinnie Bryant Wil
liams. All of these divorces were
granted on grounds of two-year I
separation. The divorce granted
Ella Mae Northcutt in her case
against Joseph M. Northcutt was
based on adultery, the plaintiff of
fering depositions to support her
L'ase.

Speeds Through State To
Lessen Danger From Polio
Any number ol excuses have
been offered, but Humberto Me
drano, 7(i-A, Third Avenue, Ha
! vana, Cuba, offered a new one to
; Patrolman M. F. Powers yester
day afternoon when he explained
that he was speeding in an effort
to get across North Carolina as
quickly as possible and lessen the
danger of hei% seized upon by
polio. Medrano said he spent the
night in Norfolk where he w^s
told North Carolina was plagued
by polio, that he was advised to go
through in a hurry, Medrano ad
mitting in broken English that he
was trying to go like an arrow.
Said to have been traveling
about 70 miles an hour when Pa
trolman Powers clocked him, Me
drano admitted that he took
chances in passing cars on curves,
| but he was fairly certain that any
danger he created was to be pre
ferred to exposure to ^olio. The
patrolman explained that the polio
threat possibly had been over-rat
ed, and Medrano without com
plaining retraced about five miles
of the route to post bond in the
sum of $37.50. It was weli under
stood that he’ll not be in the coun
ty for trial next Monday in Judge
Smith’s court
It was brought out during the
friendly questioning by the officer
that Medrano was a lawyer and a
large plantation owner in Cuba,
that his property had been damag
ed by the recent hurricane and he
was in a hurry to get home from
a visit in New York and survey
his loss. •

To Work For Sweet Potato
Market In Martin County
——-»
Holding a special meeting on
Thursday, October 7, the Martin
j County Farm Bureau executive
i committee and membership can
vassers will discuss plans for
establishing a recognized outlet
foi the county's sweet potato crop.
The group is calling on specialists
to appear before the meeting for
a discussion of the marketing
problem.
It has been pointed out that
Martin County sweet potato grow
ers have been, more or less, de
pendent on itinerant buyers who
come and go at random, leaving
the producers without *a stable
market. The absence of a regular
market is costing potato growers
in this county considerable money,
it was pointed out. It was also ex
plained that this county produces
potatoes in sufficient quantity to
warrant the establishment of a re
gular market.
Reports maintain that the coun
ty is producing one of its best po
to crops this year.
At a meeting of the Farm Bu
reau canvassers in the county
courthouse last Friday evening, it
was reported that the current
membership drive is progressing
very well. Only five canvassers
reported their work at the time,
but the secretary. Farmer Mayo
Hardison, said that the member
ship count had been boosted to
461. The drive is very encourag
ing, Canvasser H. U. Peel stating
that farmers, recognizing there is
a determined fight brewing
against agriculture, were rallying
behind the organization and mak
ing ready to fight back, if neces
sary. Farmer Billy Cratt, anxious
to do his part, bought member
ships for himself, his wife and
their five children. “If all farm
ers did that well, or half that well,
there'd be no farm problem in this
country next year or the next.”

•
Prices climbed to the highest
point of the season on Williams
ton’s Tobacco Market yesterday
when 279,902 pounds of the leaf
were sold for $149,721.79, an aver
age of $53.49 per hundred pounds.
The average was 35 points above
the $53.14 figure recorded on
opening day, and about seven
cents higher than the average for
the season to date
Reports from the market yester
day stated that the American com
pany was unusually active, but
that the others were furnishing
some keen competition as prices
climbed up to 70 cents. Averages
well up in the sixties were num
erous, but there were a few indi
vidual lots that held to the low
side where the prices possibly
were some stronger than they
were at one time. Despite a few
low individual averages, the mar
ket was really bullish, the patrons
revealing prosperity smiles more 1
readily than at any other time this
season.
Sales t h r o u g h yesterday
amounted to 0,930,704 pounds,
averaging $40.72. To date the 1
market has paid out $3,240,803.10. 1
During the first 27 sales days of 1
last season, the market here sold '
0,525,802 pounds for a $40 price 1
average, the sales in the compara-1
tive period this year leading by ■
about 400,000 pounds and the price '
average holding almost a 7-cent ‘
advantage. Sales today pushed the 1
total for the season to date to over 1
seven million pounds. 1
It is now estimated that be
tween 75 and 80 percent of the ;
crop has been sold in this imme
diate section, some observers de- 1
daring that hardly more than 15
percent of the crop remains to be
marketed.

Mystery Angle To
Attack With Gun
Aired At Hearing
—
Simon Jciikin* Placed Und
er $350 Bom! for Attack
On Krlly Wilkins
The alleged pistol attack on
Kelly Wilkins by Simon Jenkins
in Robcrsonville ten days ago en
tered the mystery realm last Fri
day evening when witnesses, testi
fying in Justice of the Peace R. T.
Johnson’s court at Williamston,
denied seeing or hearing a pistol
fire. At the same time, the victim
of the attack displayed a scalp
wound, glazed allegedly by a pis
tol bullet.
Taking the stand,' Wilkins said
he left Williamston to visit his
mother in Robcrsonville, that he
continued to the old park, presum
ably to buy liquor. Unintentional
ly he met his estranged wife. "Wc
split a difference and Simon Jenk
ins said he would settle it.” Wilk
ins said that he and two other
boys bought two half-pints of
bootleg liquor from Jenkins, that
had it not been for Jute Hampton,
Jenkins would have killed him.
The estranged wife, Emma Wil
kins, reviewed the case and intro
duced a second woman, Mary L.
Jones. “I caught the Jones girl
and my husband shut up in a room
at our house in Williamston. He
did not have time to get on his
clothes. A quarrel resulted and
1 took my baby and left about two
weeks ago,” she said. The wife
took an apartment in Roberson
ville right next to Simon Jenkins.
The husband went there, entered
Jenkins' room, and came out fuss
ing, the woman stating that when
he attacked her she ran to a
neighbor’s home. Later he attack
ed her again, the wife declared,
and she ran a second time, declar
ing that she saw no pistol and did
not hear one fire.
Ann Wright said she was right
there but saw no gun.
Willie J. Wright said, "All I
knows is they were fighting,” add
ing that he neither saw nor heard
a pistol fire.
Jenkins denied the attack, de
claring that he did not even own
a gun.
Up until that point, Wilkins

the drive to raise $2,500 in this
county for the helpless, starving
children of war-torn countries is
