“I’m sorry it isn’t in my power
to sentence you to prison for fif
teen years,” Judge R. T. Johnson
on the Martin County Recorder’s
•Court bench, said to the defendant
when he sent James Perkins, self
styled Negro preacher, to the
roads for two years for the brutal
beating of his wife, Ada Perkins,
at their home near Williamston
last January 5. On account of the
victim's critical condition, the
trial had been continued until
Monday of this week when more
than two hundred of her friends
and relatives and his religious
followers crowded into the court
room to hear the trial.
The victim, taking the stand,
told the same story she had re
lated to officers when they found
her almost in a dying condition on
January 17, twelve days after she
had been brutally beaten by her
preacher husband with a piece of
stove wood.
She told how her husband had
knocked a hole in her head and
how she was bruised on her arms
♦.nd legs. She told how she was
denied medical attention until
friends reported the attack to the
sheriff and doctors were called
to her aid. Neighbors were afraid
to visit the home.
The victim, threatened by blood
poison, hovered between life and
V «Uuthior days in a hospital, ofter
being held almost captive in her
home for twelve days, her head
fractured and the skin actually
rotting around sores on her legs.
0 The victim who mothered eight
children in the first fifteen years
of her married life, denied when
cross examined, that she had hit
her husband with a hair-straight
ening comb. She declared that she
had never fought back, that she
! just had to take the beatings, ad
mittedly administered by Perk
ins on previous occasions. Other
attacks had been smoothed over
for the -sake of peace in the faintly
#nd the sake of the children, she
paid.
Perkins, adjudged guilty of as
saulting his wife back in 1949, was
Sentenced to the roads, the court
suspending the road term on con
dition that he refrain from at
tacking his wife for two years. In
July, 1950, he was back in court
for allegedly attacking his wife,
but was adjudged not guilty when
his children went to his aid.
Sheriff M. W. Holloman told
what he had found when he visit
I he home on January 17, and
how arrangements were made to
get the victim into the hospital.
The officer said that Perkins,
when first arrested, denied the at
tack, but before entering jail the
man adrnitted.it, declaring he did
not take her to a doctor “because
she was not hurt much”.
Taking the stand in his own be
half, Perkins talked about his
trips to various churches. He says
he went home or. the afternoon
*f January 5 and told his folks
that he had to visit a friend and

Escaped Convicts
Booked In County
—*—
Charged with speeding across
Highway No. 11 at Council’s Store
near Hassell last week,, Wayne
Currie Cannady, 17, and H. C.
Bradford, 22, have been booked
tentatively for trial in this coun
ty next Monday, according to Pa
trolman B. W. Parker who help
ed chase the two men down.
Breaking out of a State High
way prison camp at Gatesville,
the two young men, one from
Fayetteville and the other from
Beelog, near Asheville, stole a
1950 Pontiac near Edenton and

Narron maneuvered in position
and the boys were stopped with
less than half a gallon of gas left
in the tank of the stolen car.
The car was returned to its
owner and the boys were turned
over to prison authorities.

TimeToTopdress
Lading Pastures
—» _
It iS time to topdress those old
L.idino Pastures. In order that
they may return maximum craz
ing for those cattle and hogs, they,
must be topdressed and February
is a good time to do it.
A good analysis to use is 0-14-14
or 0-10-20 or 0-0-27 whichever is
available. The amount to use
should be 800 to 1000 pounds per
acre. This material should be ap
plied in the afternoon when the
pasture is dry to prevent excessive
burning. Cattle and hogs should
not be on the pasture at this time.
In fact, the pasture shouldn’t be
grazed until it is about six inches
high and then should never be
overgrazed.
While hogs are cheap, one of the
best ways to stay in the business
is to have an abundance of good
pasture as this is the cheapest
source of feed for livestock. So
let's take care of our pasture and
liberally topdress them to keep
them productive.—D. W. Brady,
Assistant County Agent.

'Tiis- Enianlry Is -
Still Unprepared
For A Major War
Another Three Years Need
ed To Get Right For An
All-Out War
—«
By Edward H. Sims
Special Correspondent
Washington.—The inside story
on U. S. rearmament is an appall
ing story of unpreparedness. Of
the services, the Navy is perhaps
more nearly prepared for a major
war than the Army or Air Force—
mostly because of the fact that it
had a number of major warships
in mothballs which needed only
modernization to be brought into
service.
But the Air Force is sadly lack
ing in both quantity and quality
equipment now available and the
Army still is not receiving deliv
eries of some tank models, and
only very few deliveries of mod
ern medium tanks at all! Yet it
has been twenty months since war
broke out suddenly in Korea.
What are rearmament pro
spects? The Army will not be get
ting any heavy tanks, probably
until 1953. Top-notch mediums
may not get into mass production
until next year. The Air Force will
not be getting any large-scale de
liveries of improved fighters un
til next year, probably won’t get
any heavy bombers until 1954! All
these delays even after twenty
months—sound discouraging, don't
they?
Pentagon chiefs say rearmament
takes time. They can say that
again. They say we need another
three years to be prepared for a
major war. That surprises some,
since they thought by now—after
fighting the Communists in Asia
for 20 months—we would be a
world' power. But only in naval
circles is the U. S. supreme.
Reliable figures show the Rus
sians are outbuilding us in fight
er production six to one. And they
are building planes equal to what
we are building. Right now they
are turning out an improvement
over the MIG-15, which met our
best fighter, the F-R6, on equal
terms over Korea. The Russians
are also building medium jet bom
bers at a more rapid rate than
we are in the U. S. Experts think
it will be two or three years be
fore we can catch up with them in
production figures.
Therefore those who brag about
U .8, industrial power, about our
supremacy in production methods,
might well hold their tongues. We

near Williamston when a glass
fire, sweeping across a broom
straw field, threatened to catch a
tenant house and barn. The fire
was slopped a few feet from the

Firemen verc called out again
shortly before 6:00 o’clock last
evening when a grass bush fire
between Watts and Higgs Street
'and back of the legion hut and
