Representative Bonner Ad
dresses Farm Bureau
Here Last Friday
Addressing the annual meeting
of the Martin County Farm Bu
reau in the Williamston High
School Auditorium, Congressman
Herbert Bonner briefly paid tri
bute to the late Senator Melville
Broughton and immediately talk
ed about a major topic now in the
minds of farmers. His address, re
viewing briefly the farm legisla
tive program, follows:
As one who is personally in
terested in the welfare and pros
perity of the people of this com
munity, I consider that it is more
than iust an official honor to
speak before you today. However,
this time I come before you with
a feeling of deep emotion, for in
speaking to you—the Farm Bu
reau of Martin County—it is not
easy to forget the appearance just
one year ago on this very plat
form of our greatly missed friend,
the late Honorable J. Melville
Broughton, who, as United States
Senator in the space of a mere two
months, had made his impress
upon our nation. As all of us
know, he was one of our country's
greatest farm crusaders and par
ticularly we should be reminded
of his magnificent record in sup
port of the farming problems of
this section.
Today the farmers of this coun
try are again faced with the pos
sibility of major changes in our
federal laws dealing with agricul
ture. Specifically, it appears that
in the main, the Congress is con
fronted with three alternative ag
ricultural programs. Because I
believe the American people stand
squarely behind the principle of
farm support, I thereupon believe
that we shall have to depend upon
one of the following programs for
the continuation and maintenance
of our nation's rural economy.
Presently, these legislative possi
“bilities'afe: . — - -~~
1. To leave matters as they are
and to permit Title 2 of the Hope
Aiken Act of 1948, with its lower
support level to go into effect on
January 1, 1950;
2. To propose simple extension
af the existing supports under
Title 1 of the 1948 Act and either
thereby postpone or eliminate the
Title 2 provision;
8. To adopt some form of legis
lation embodying the recent pro
posals made by the Secretary of
Agriculture, Mr. Charles F. Bran
nan.
Now, before discussing the spe
cific advantages and disadvan
tages of these farm price support
programs, let ys reacquaint our
selves with the broad provisions
of each and the objectives which
each invision.
It should be first remembered
that me j3ope-*5?!fen Act of 1948

furthermore,
that this Act provides two separ

very platform some time ago that
I questioned the desirability of
this legislation as being a perma

Tobacco transplanting will
have been completed in its en
tirety by late tomorrow in this
county, according to reports
received here today. The crop
today is 98 percent or more
set. Transplanting 14 acres,
one farmer said that less than
a dozen plants died in the
field except quite a few that
were cut down by worms.
Their transplanting com
pleted, Martin farmers are
opening their plant beds to
farmers in a dozen or more
counties in this State and to a
few in Virginia. No charge
for the plants is being asked
in most cases. “I can never
tell when I'll be looking
around for plants,” Farmer
Sidney Beacham said yester

Today for Well-Known
Business Man
Ralph Jerome Parker, well
known local citizen and business
man, died suddenly in his office at
Parker's Self-Service Laundry
yesterday afternoon at 12:30
o’clock, the victim of a heart at
tack. Mr. Parker had a heart con
dition since he was discharged
from the service at the end of
World War I, but he had continu
ed fairly active despite his illness.
For the past several weeks he had
not been feeling so well, but pa
trons visiting his business on Sim
mons Avenue yesterday morning
found him in good spirit and ap
parently getting along better than
usual. A patron had left the of
fice only a few minutes when Mrs.
Parker found him. He had been
sitting on a stool at the counter
and slumped to the floor, dying
apparently without a struggle and
before medical aid or anyone
could reach him.

1926, to Miss Louise Harrison of
Williamston. and in 1935 he sold
his business in Dunn and located

plained of his ailment, he was
forced to virtual reitrement, but
he held employment with Dar
den’s Department Store, Martin
Supply Company and Critcher's
Shoe Store before building a self
service laundry which he owned
and operated.
He volunteered for service in
the U. S. Army at the outbreak
of World War I and served over
seas in active combat for almost a
year. He resumed his place in the
business partnership in Dunn at
the close of the war and continued
there until he moved to Williams
ton September 1, 1935.
He was a Mason, affiliating with
Palmyra Lodge In Dunn when a
young man and take the Shrine
during the war years. He was a
member of the Methodist Church
for many years, exemplifying the
principles of the church in his
dealings with his fellowman. De
spite his infirmity, he contributed
much to the business and religious
life of his adopted community,
and was held in high esteem by
all who knew him. He was devot
ed to his family and friends and
was ever ready to accommodate
and help his fellowman.
Surviving are his widow, two
children, Miss Elizabeth Parker, a '
student at Woman’s College of the
University of North Carolina,

Farmers Attacked By Bees

Williams, aided by LeRoy Mer

bees bearing the resemblance of,
a molasses barrell making a “bee”
line for him, his helpers and the
two young mules pulling the
transplanter. Before any opposi-1

To Chock Fire
Fire of undetermined origin de

Cemetery here at 8:00 o'clock
Sunday evening. An inadequate
water system in that area handi- j
capped firemen, but they were
able to confine the fire to the two
small houses owned by Charles
Ormond. The newly completed
house of William Ballance was
threatened but damage was limit

side of the house was blistered.
Apparently starting in an apart
ment occupied by Bob Wirtbush
and his wife, the fire was burning I
rapidly before anyone discovered !
it. No one was at home and neigh- 1
bors tried to break inside and,
cheek the fire but their efforts
were fruitless. By the time the
fire truck was carried there, the
fire was spreading to the small
house occupied by Mervin Rascoe
and his family and the Ballance
house was smoking badly on one j
side. The homes were at the ex- i

Bond Rally Held
In Scotland Neck
On Friday Night

Before People In This
Highway District
—'-S
Tentative plans were made at a
neeting of more than 100 repre
sentatives from several of the
■ounties in the Highway Commis
sion's First District held in Scot
land Neek last Friday evening to
olace the facts on the school-road
program before the people.
Senators Allsbrooks and Foun
tain, former Senator Chas. If.
Jenkins, Representative Branch
and other state leaders, including
M. A. Huggins, secretary of the
North Carolina State Baptist Con
vention addressed the meeting and
appealed for support for the pro
gram, Representatives Corey of
this county, Spruill, the man from
Bertie who says "We’ve got labor
by the-throat"-and other politic
ians from the district were not
there. However, it has been re
liably reported that some of those
who were not at the meeting had
taken ihi. stump lit opposition to
the program. It was also reliably
reported that some of those who
are opposing the program would
have agreed to floating bond is
sues if friend Chas. J. were in the
driver’s seat, that Johnson pro
posed a similar school road pro
gram in his campaign.
Presiding over the Scotland
Neck meeting, one of several held
all over the State, Henry Cl. She!
ton, First District Highway Com
missioner, answered some perti
nent questions freely and very
frankly, and declared that the
program was sound and most as
suredly a step in the right direc
tion. Commissioner Shelton, who
definitely holds the confidence of
his people said that Martin’s share
in the $200 million issue would be
$ 1,(16(1,000.00 m addition to regular
funds, that it would surface nearly
100 miles of strictly rural roads.
"It is our plan to surface 12,000
miles of rural roads at an estimat
ed cost of $18,000 a mile and im
prove, that is, widen and make
passable the year around 85,000
miles of road in the State,” Com
missioner Shelton said.
Asked if $100 million would not
hi' enough to issue in bonds, the
commissioner explained that it is
wise to have the money authori/
c 11 Sm ... t he... ,eju l im..prog >: a m. _m>.w,
that once it was half completed
there would be a tendency for
those who have the program to op
pose it for others. He further ex
plained that the bands would be
issued as needed, that the pro
gram is not to be unduly rushed at
the expense of economy, that
there is no intention to complete
the projects in three or four years,
11 lift the program would be contin
ued over into the next adminis
tration.
He assured the group that no
advalorem or property tax is ne
cessary, tnat the bonds can be li
nartced with the 1-cent gas tax,
plus tiie amount now being spent
to finance old bonds which will
retire in 1953. He explained that
the program would leave more for
improving the primary roads and
bridges.
"Your highway commission is
ot throwing money mound,’’ Slid
• on .-laid. He briefly referred tc
Cameron Morrison’s load program
stalled in 1921 and told how
much it had helped the State
"North Carolina had about (15,001.
cars, Virginia had 150,000. In ,
short time, North Carolina passed
Virginia in car registration and
now has about 800,000,” the com
missioner said.
Senator Julian Allsbrooks of
Roanoke Rapids pleaded for both
the schools and roads. "Our ehil
dren are entitled to adequate
teachers, adequate buildings, ade
quate sanitary conditions, and
they are to be able to get to
school on time and back home on
time," the senator said, adding
that it was important for doctors
to get to the man off the main
highways. The two plans are de
pendent one on the other, for
what s the use to build a school
and the children can’t get to it?
he asked. The senator said that
North Carolina has the capacity to
advance the program.
