to work for race harmony, to
solve the problem without outside
interference.
*‘We quarrel in our primaries,
but we go united into the elec

that negligence is costing many
votes. “We must correct that con

in the party's fight in the State
and nation.’’ Concluding, he said
‘hat a small vote in the election
is & reflection on the state, that it
has been ridiculed and belittled

Democrats Asking
Funds In County
Their treasury penniless, Mar
tin County Democrats are seeking
to raise $700 within the next ten
days. Elbert S. Peel explained
that the party was badly in need
of funds, that President Truman
was forced off the air in Philadel
phia a few days ago because there
ware not sufficient funds to fin
ance the entire broadcast. At the
same time, the Republicans arc
• speaking from morning until
night. Even in this section of the
f State the Republicans have a
yard-long radio schedule with
enough money apparently to fi
nance it. ,
Representing nearly every sec
tion of the county, forty Demo
cratic leaders in a meeting last
Friday afternoon agreed to can
vass their precincts and raise at
least $700.
The precincts were asked to
raise the following amounts:
Jamcsville, $50; Williams, $25;
Griff ms, $5C, Bear Grass, $50;
Williamston 1 and 2, $250; Cross
Roads, $50; Robersonville and
Gold Point, $100; Poplar Point,

Scores Dixiecrats
In Political Talk

Addmti, Heard By Thous

Peanut Festival
. ... a -
Army Secretary Kenneth C.
Royall, scored the Dixiccrats and
pleaded the cause of the Demo
cratic Party, before thousands of
people at the corner of Main and
Smithwick Streets here last Fri
day afternoon at 3:00 o’clock, the
addtess climaxing the totyn's
three-day peanut festival.
Escorted here from the Rocky
Mount airport where the cabinet
official “bummed” his way down
from Washington City with a
friend, the Secretary took a posi
tion at the head of the festival
parade with other dignitaries, in
cluding Congressman Herbert
Bonner, and reached the speaker’s
stand just in time to go on the air.
Following a welcome extended by
Mayor Robert Cowen, Former
State Senator and Chairman of
the Martin County Democratic
Executive Committee, Elbert S.
j Peel introduced the Army Secre
tary. Peel opened the way for a
political speech when he said in
| his introductory remarks, “Had it
‘not been for the 11-cent peanuts
provided by the Democrats, ef
; forts to have a peanut festival
here today would have been in
vain.”
Scoring heavily the Dixieerats,
Mr. Royall said, in detail:
It is fine to be back in North
Carolina and to participate in this
splendid occasion—and to see so
many of my good friends with
j whom I was thrown in the days
1 when I was a Carolina lawyer—
when I enjoyed the incomparable
pleasure of East Carolina life.
There is no equal of that life any
where in the world.
It has been going on seven years
since I left Goldsboro for World
War II. Much has happened in
that period. Our America has
won an over^dielming victory
! over ruthless ana determined and
cruel enemies, — enemies who
had been preparing for the con
flict for more than a decade.
The war we won transcended
all other wars of history in size
and cost—and in impact upon
the world. Our nation alone spent
350 billion dollars, eight times as
much as America spent on all its
foreign wars during the entire
previous 165 years of its exist
ence. Sixteen million of our
young men served in uniform and
more than a million of them were
casualties, three times as many
casualties as in all our other wars
during the entire previous 165
years of its existence. Sixteen
million of our young men served
in uniform and more than a mil
lion of them were casualties, three
times as many casualties as in all
our other wars against foreign
enemies.
This tragic conflict ended three
years ago, and it left behind it the

Peanut Festival
Most Successful
Event Ever Held
■ ' • ■ ■
Three„Day Event Closed
Last Saturday Might With
Amateur Show
- -
Despite a little confusion ordi
narily expected the first time an
event of such magnitude is under
taken, the three-day Williamston
Peanut Festival last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday was rated
one of the most successful under
takings ever advanced here.
Promoted by the Williamston
Boosters, Lynn Taylor, secretary,
the festival attracted thousands of
visitors to the town, and the pro
gram, highlighted by a mile-and
one-half-long parade, was enjoy
ed. The community's own home
grown crop of peanut clowns add
ed merriment to the festival
which had the support and coop
eration ot the public in general.
The first in the series of pro
gram events was held Thursday
afternoon when the Marine Band
from Cherry Point gave a splen
did concert following a parade.
The baby contest and parade the
same afternoon attracted much
attention and rightly so.
That night the double-unit
dance—regular dancing at one
end and square dancing at the
i other—on the Washington Street
block between Main and Railroad
■ Streets, attracted between 2,500
and 3,000 people Thursday night.
Friday was the big day when a
parade was formed by Marshall
“Blue" Manning and sent through
the streets of the main business
districts, and when Army Secre
tary Kenneth Royall .spoke. The
formation of the parade required
just about every street on the
south side of the town, and the
front units almost over took the
last floats as going around the
loop from Williams Street, down
Hailghton to Washington Street
and down Washington into Main
and down Main to Watts where
the parade continued to the start
ing points.
It was conservatively estimated
that 4,000 people witnessed the
baby parade and heard the Ma
rine Band Thursday, and that ten
thousand witnessed the parade
Friday.
The Roberson ville-Williamston
football game, separate from the
festival program, attracted 899
paid admissions that night.
Saturday, the Watts Theater
was packed from 9 to 11 a. m. for
the showings of a movie made in
Williamston in 1934.
At the amateur show Saturday
night in the high school, the Gos
pel Singers, colored group of Wil
liamston, and Jean Stevenson,
black-face singer, of Williamston,
tied for first place, $10 prize going
to the singers anu a camera to the
other contestant. Third prize, raz
or sets, went to the Piney Grove
I quartet. Lcda Daye Manning and
Marie Griffin and Dolly Wynne
and Myrtle Nicholson tied for
fourth place and each was given
| a permanent wave. The Godards
—father and son—were sixth,
winning a box of candy each.
Aided by members of the High
way Patrol, local pdlice blocked
portions of the main streets and
handled the large erowds and
traffic in a masterly fashion.
Need Vestments
For Glee Clubs
■■ O' " ■
Invited to participate in the
State Music Festival at Greenville
early next spring, Williamston’s
' High School Glee Clubs will have
j to have vestments before they can
| accept the invitation. Mrs. Beech
j er Patterson, the director, states
| there are thirty members in the
junior club and thirty in the sen
ior club, that the vestments for
the juniors will cost $10 each and
those for the seniors will cost $15
each.
The clubs, presently without
funds and sharing no place in the
current band - recreation fund
drive, are planning to appeal to
the public on their own with
in the near future for approxi
mately $700. The director and the
members of the two clubs are
I hopeful their plea for the badly
! needed funds will be well reeeiv
| ed when the canvass is made.
First Annual Peanut Festival
Rated Most Successful Event
Of Its Kind Ever Held Here
Friday Afternoon
Parade Surpasses
All Expectations
One and One-half Mile Pa
rade Thirty Minutes In
Passing Given Point
After waiting forty-five min
utes for the honor guest of the
day to arrive, Willianiston’s first
annual peanut festival parade, re
cognized as the greatest event of
its kind ever seen here or in any
other eastern Carolina town,
started moving in all its splendor
before a crowd conservatively es
timated at ten thousand people.
Formed under the direction of
Jim Manning in the streets to the
south of the main business dis
tricts, the parade moved out of
South Haughton into Washington,
thence into Main and on down to
Watts, turning there and continu
ing to points of origin. The par
ade, possessing not one single
weak link, was thirty-five min
utes passing a given point, clear
ing jusi in time for Army Secre
tary Kenneth C. Royall to go on
the air with a political speech in
the street at the corner of Main
and Smithwick Streets. •
The parade was not officially
judged, the task of selecting the
prize float having been left for
the public to handle. There were
eighty-four units in the parade,
the floats and other features com
paring with the best seen in any
parade anywhere.
The festival spirit was injected
during the waiting period by a
group of home-grown peanut
clowns who performed admirably
and to the great delight of the
crowds packing the sidewalks and
street edges.
A running description which
admittedly falls short in pictur
ing the parade, follows:
Patrolman li W. Parker, in a
patrol car, spearheaded the one
and one-half mile-long march,
followed by a ten-unit motorcy
cle escort. A detail from the John
Walton Hassell Post of the Ameri
can Legion was next, preceding a
special car of dignitaries, includ
, ing Army Secretary Royall, Con
gressman Herbert Bonner, Mayor
1 Robt. Cowen, State Senator Chas.
! H. Jenkins and Former State Sen
ator Elbert Peel. Town and
county officials were next in line,
followed by special guests and of
ficials of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, Lions and Kiwanis
Clubs.
The Williamston High School
Band moved up next, executing
exacting maneuvers in the main
street and giving the march a real
parade atmosphere.
The first of the attractive floats
was prepared by the Roanoke
Chevrolet and Williamston Motor
| Companies, bearing a large key of
Welcome. A station wagon and a
truck of the North Carolina For
est Fire Service followed.
Williamston Peanut Company’s
float, next in line, supported the
underlying principal of the festi
: val with seven little tots sur
rounded by peanuts on the vine
and in various types of bags.
Griffin Motor Company enter
! ed four stock ears and another
, pick-up truck of the Forest Ser
| vice followed.
i The Williamston Boosters, fes
tival sponsors, were well repre
sented with a float, bearing the
queen, Miss Katie Leggett, who
stood in an arch doorway.
Blue Star Cleaners offered a
moon-shaped float mounted on a
motor scooter with a large blue
star on each side.
The next float was that of Chus.
It. Jenkins Company, displaying
| frozen food boxes with an attend
I ant. The company also featured
in the parade a 1924 Buiek sedan,
and the latest Oldsmobile, Cadil
lac, Buick and Pontiac models.
Western Auto had a tire display
on a motorbike arid small trailer.
A 3-unit motorcycle escort fol
lowed.

Tobacco Sales Pass Nine
Million-Pound Mark Here
— —
Tobacco sales, rapidly drawing
to a close, passed the nine million
pound mark here this morning, j
reports from the market indicat
ing that little leaf is left to be sold ^
in this immediate area. No de- \
finite closing date has been men- •
tioned, but it is likely that sales
will be brought to an end some
time next week.
Last year the market continued
open until November 18, but the
short crop is making for a differ
ent story this season. During the
first 42 sales days of this year, the
market had sold 8,984,018 pounds
for $4,354,373.73, an average of
$48.47 per hundred pounds. In the
first 42 sales days last year the
market sold 10,264,336 pounds, but
received only $4,243,700.94 or an
average of $41.34. In other words,
the growers patronizing the local
market recevied $110,672.79 more
this year for 8,984,016 pounds than
they received for 10,264,336
pounds last season.
Daily offerings have been drop
ping fast since Monday of last
week. The season's low for any
one day was reported yesterday
when only 36,142 pounds were
sold. Prices, while below the
peak reported week before last,
continue to hold above $50.00 per
hundred pounds.
It is expected the market op
erators will announce later this
week when they plan to close
their houses for the season.

by Major General Field Harris,
commanding officer at the Marine
Base.
The babye parade was of such
si/e that it literally caught the
promoters off guard. The judges
were almost baffled, their task
was so difficult, and while there
was confusion, the crowd got a
great kick out of seeing the little
folks march while the Marine
band played.
Little Jackie Leggett and Mary
Emma Peel were chosen junior
queens of the festival and Ken
neth Manning was selected junior
king. The Harris twins, Alton
