ontl Quarter Since the
Stores Were Opened
- —
The gradual decline in legal li
quor sales reported by the four
Martin County stores during the
past eighteen months reached
nose-dive proportions during the
second quarter, according to a re
view of the audit just recently re
leased by the ABC Board for the
months of April, May and June of
this year. The sales declined from
$157,994.75 in the second quarter
of 1947 to $128,296.45 in the corre
sponding quarter of this year, a
drop of $29,698.30. However,
sales in the recent period under
consideration were more than six
times as large as those for the
months of April, May and June of
1936. Profits reported for the sec
ond quarter of this year were $11,
231.32 less than the $38,291.46 re
ported for the months of April,
May and June of last year.
More recent reports from the
ABC system indicate that sales
are maintaining a downward
trend.
The audit for the second quar
ter of this year shows that the
$126,296.45 sales for the period
were reduced by $95,646.37, cost
of the liquors, and by $5,750.32,
operating expense, leaving a net
profit of $26,899.76, plus $160.38
gained from discounts.
At the end of the second quar
ter the County Alcoholic Bever
ages Control Board had assets in
the sum of $83,459.13, including
$41,364.36 in cash, $41,743.22 in in

Sails Out Window
Near Hamilton To
Escape Intruder
• ■
Prowler Threw Carl Saddle
Through Window Of
Paul Hyman Home
Mrs. Paul Hyman saved herself
from possible bodily harm about
9:30 o’clock last night when she
jumped out of a window at her
home near Hamilton and fled be
fore an intruder. She was not hurt
but was unnerved by the attempt
ed invasion of her home by a par
ty yet unknown to her or officers.
At home alone while Mr. Hy
man attended to business in Ham
ilton, Mrs. Hyman was in the liv
ing room listening to the radio
when someone knocked on the
back door. She paid no attention
to the noise, but asked who it was
when the person knocked a second
time. Receiving no answ'er, she
went into the hall to make certain
that the front door was locked.
While she was standing in the hall
the prowler, having found the
back door locked, hurled a cart
saddle through the living room
window, knocking out the top sash
and scattering glass all over the
room. The saddle struck the far
wall of the room. Mrs. Hyman
called loudly to her husband, tell
ing him to come down stairs
quickly. The ruse apparently
worked, for it is believed the
prowler became frightened and
ran away without entering the
house.
During the meantime, Mrs. Hy
man went to a room on the other
side of the house, jumped out a
window and ran two or three
hundred yards to a neighbor’s
home. Mr. Hyman was called from
Hamilton and he contacted the
sheriff. Captain Arthur Sessoms
and bloodhounds were called from
the prison camp and a trail was
picked up at the window of the
home, The dogs followed the
large tracks down the road toward
Oak City for about one-half a mile
before a heavy rain fell and
blocked the search,
Officers are continuing their in
vestigation, but no arrest had
been reported early this after
noon. During the meantime, Mr
Hyman posted a $100 cash reward
for information leading to the ar
rest and conviction of the prowler.
Offering A Superb
Ambulance Service
Emphatically explaining that he
was not a wreck chaser or that he
was doing just a little bit of chas
ing in and around Richmond, the
fact remains that Billy Biggs,
popular local undertaker, offers a
superb ambulance service.
Having safely and quickly de
livered a patient to a Richmond
hospital Tuesday, the young man,
traveling alone, had driven only
three or tour blocks from the hos
pital on the return trip when a big
car ran down a little car at the in
tersection of Patterson Street and
the Boulevard, just about fifty
yards in front of him.
Biggs said that the little car was
turned over and that the several
occupants were well mixed up,
that he was the first to reach the
wreck and that he with the aid of
the driver of the big car pulled the
victims from the overturned Cros
ley. The last victim, a Mrs. Grif
1 in, suffered severe cuts and
bruises about the head and one
hand, broken ribs and possibly a
hip fracture. The young man
backed up his Cadillac ambulance
and blazed a trail three or four
miles down Richmond’s Broad
Street and delivered the victim to
Virginia Medical College Hos
pital.

County Draft Board Classifies
Large jN umber Of Registrants
l-A Group Must j
.Submit Facts To
Support Claims
! Small (lull for Men Expect*
e«l During Latter Part
Of November
The peacetime draft moved rap
idly toward reality in this coVmty
this week when the draft board—
Messrs. Eugene Rice, L. R. Everett
and Chas. R. Gray—classified 142
registrants in anticipation of a call
1 for a few men the latter part of
November.
In session last night until almost
11:00 o’clock, the board limited its
classification work to the non
father, non-veteran single group
of registrants, most of those in
the other groups including [war
veterans, married men and others,
having been automatically ex
j empted from the service calls.
Just about all those men whose
questionnaires have been examin
ed were placed in the l-A classifi
cation, meaning they are subject
to call. A few registrants have
| been notified of their classifica
tions and if they plan to appeal
they must do so within ten days.
Others will get their classification
cards in a day or two. It is fairly
apparent that many of those plac
ed in the'l-A group are entitled
deferment or other classifications,
but the board says the registrants
| in those cases must submit bona
fide facts, affidavits and other
pertinent, information to support
their claims.
"It isn’t enough for a registrant
to say he is a farmer or that he
has dependents,” one board mem
ber said, adding that sworn State
1 ments and detailed facts must be
submitted to the board by the reg
istrants who would have their
| classifications changed. Regis
trants can submit their appeals for
i another classification in writing
and not find it necessary to report
to the board in person at this time,
according to one report.
A few registrants were ruled
out because of physical disabili
ties, and three others got immun
ity because they had reached their
26th birthday since registering for
the draft: It has not been offic-]
ially announced, but it is under
stood that no registrant will be
drafted who has attained his 2(itln
year of age on or before Novem
j ber 29.
I Registrants who are escaping
on the age clause are being placed
in the 5-A classification. In this
| group have been placed the fol
lowing registrants in this county:
LeRoy Ballard, col., RI, Oak City;
Paul Chester Edmondson, w, Has
| sell; Leslie Elbert Godard, w, RI,
Jamesville.
Physically handicapped regis
trants arc placed in 4-F, the first
to go into that group in this coun
ty including the following: Eulise
Ruben Cherry, w, RI, Williams
ton; Harley J Manning, w, RI,
Williamston; and Herbert Barber,
w. RI, Jamesville.
Eighty-six of the 142 registrants
classified so far by the board in
this county are colored, and all
but six of the 142 went into the
l-A classification. Their stay theie
is subject to change if and when
additional information is offered.;
(However, the non-father, non-'
veteran single men group offers
about the only manpower to be
'd.
The following men have been
iced in the l-A classification, il
as announced by the board
secretary, Miss Mildred Everett,1
today:
Ernest Octavius Godard, col, R2,

More donations were made dur
ins the past few days to the Cru
sade for Children fund by Martin
County citizens, but the total con
tributions represent less than one
sixth of the quota assigned the
county in the name of starving
little children in foreign lands.
In a report released yesterday,
Mrs. N. C. Green, treasurer of the
fund inthis county, said that a to
tal of $373.81 had been contributed
to date, that the leaders of the
drive were again directing an ap
peal to all/the people in the coun
ty, urging them to support the i
movement in the name of suffer
ing humanity.
While the drive was delayed in
this county, every penny raised
will mean much in relieving the
tragic conditions in foreign lands
where millions of orphans and i
other helpless children anxiously
look to the people of this nation
for a chance to live.
The crusade, handled by the
United Nations Appeal for Chil
dren is recognized as one of the
most effective means for getting i
relief directly to the starving.

Mrs. Critcher was found a few

receiving first aid treatment here.
She made the trip very well, it

to be exact.
Although a large percent
age of the crop in this section
has been sold, it is predicted
that well over another million
pounds wil be marketed here,
that possibly the total sales
will push right close to nine
million pounds. It is quite
likely that the sales will
reach and possibly pass the
seven and one-half million
pound mark tomorrow when
a large sale is certain. Pea
nut farmers, forced out of
their fields this week by rain,
resumed their tobacco mar

are anticipated during the
next few days.

Court Adjourned
Abruptly Today
By Sudden Death
Mother Given Custody Of
Child in Habeas Corpus
Proceeding* Yesterday
Its schedule thrown out of
whack by the delayed trial of
criminal cases, the Martin County
Superior Court with Judge W. H.
S Burgwyn presiding, forged
ahead this week and cleared,
mostly by compromises, a majori
ty of the cases from the civil cal
endar before adjourning abruptly
this morning when it was loarned
that the mother of Miss Anne
Wollet, court stenographer, had
died suddenly last night.
Despite several long, drawn-out
trials devoted to a few more or
less insignificant eases, the court
virtually caught up with its sched
ule.
Most till of Tuesday was devot
ed to the trial of the case brought
, by Edward Hollis against James
H Everett. Hollis, some months
! ago, brought action to get posses
sion of a tenant house on his farm.
The defendant entered a claim for
improvements. The plaintiff
maintained that the defendant
j moved into the house without
permission and made the im
provements on his own. The de
! fendant maintained that he con
tacted Stanley Hollis, agent of the
I plaintiff. The jury found that
Stanley Hollis was the plaintiff’s
agent and allowed the defendant
Everett $125 less $35 rent.
In the case of James A. Men
denhall against James E. Taylor,
the plaintiff was gjven a judg
ment in the sum of $403.02 with
out. interest.
The defendants iVi the case of
Virgil W. Stevenson against
George M Stevenson and wife
were ordered b.v the court to de
posit with the clerk $1,000 on or
! before November 1, 1048, the
! amount being rent due the defend
ants bv Paul Dolberry, tenant. The
money is to be made subject to
further court orders. The plain
tiff is to receive $200, or one-sixth
of $1,200 rent direct from the ten
ant.
The case of Eli Bowen against
Ephriam Woolard was settled by
agreement.
Seeking alimony without di
vorce. Carolina Jefferson was
awarded $25 a month in her ease
against Joseph Jefferson.
The court spent much time
Wednesday afternoon handling
the habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted by Mrs. Charlie Frances
Leggett to get custody of her
child, William Ward Leggett,
three years old. The child, a
bright little fellow, has been
