For those who prefer round dancing, the Herb Carter Number Of Bears " Killed In County In Recent Weeks A. K. KoIh‘i>oii Ituggrtl < Ail* This Week In Kusiness Section of JumcMville (By Wendell Peele) -<*> When A.R. “Red" Roberson shot and killed a 60 pound bear cub in front of his service station at the interesection of highways No. N. C 171 and U. S. 64 in James ville this week, there was a joker in the hand thaf he dealt. Never theless, the fact that the junior bruin was killed in the very heart of Martin County’s third largest town, population 600, speaks well of the section as a sportsman's favorite hunting ground. The cub was shot by Roberson after it had been brought into | Jamesville in the trunk of a car which had knocked it senseless on Monday night as it and two other cubs and their mother were cross ing U. S. H'W’Y No. 64 near Dar dens. It was thought by the driv er of the car that the youngster had been killed by tjie car, but when a friend of Roberson reach ed into the trunk to pull the vie timout, the cub sprang very much to life, and started to amble away. Roberson responded to the cry for help with gunfire that stopped baby bruin dead in its tracks. A hunting party was then orga nized, and it is understood that the other cubs and their mother were killed by noon of the fol lowing day. Unofficial reports state that the mother bear weigh ed approximately 175 pounds According to Principal Carlyle Cox of the Farm Life School, bear hunts in eastern Martin County have been very success fully waged this season. Cox stat ed that in ten hunts in Griffins Township, thus far, that nine of the beasts have been bagged, wjth four of the kills being credited to Eugene Roberson who pro bably is the ace bear hunter in this part of the State Wreck Victims Leave Hospital —«— Painfully injured in an automo bile accident near Sweet Water Creek on Highway 64 last Satur day evening, three of the victims, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Roberson and Jerry Roberson, were able to return to their homes in Griffins Township yesterday following treatment in a'local hospital. Mrs. Roberson, suffering a hip injury, will continue in bed for a few days, however, at her home. During the meantime nothing has been heard from James Rich ard Wilson, alleged driver of one of the cars, who fled from the scene of the accident. Mrs. Billy Whit Stalls and son, Billy, injured in a second accident Satu''day evening near‘Oak City, continue in the local hospital, but they were reported this morning to be improving. Five other victims of the series of seven automobile accidents in this county last week-end, were able to continue to their homes following treatment ni local hos pitals. Sextet from East Carolina College I will provide the airs for the high steppers. For those who prefer square dancing, Dick Carter and his Circle -'C" Ranch Hands will provide the music and the caller will be Plum Hill. Both the Car ter group and Mr. Hill are well known in this section; the musi cal group being heard over Rad- < io Station WRRF twice daily, each day of the week, and Mr. Hill being rated as one of the best callers for squaredancing in this section. As was announced last week, the orchestra of Dean Hudson will play for Jhc Harvest Ball on Wed nesday evening, October 22, in the Planters Warehouse. Accord-' ing to all reports, Williamston is really getting ready for the Ball as it will be the first time a “name" orchestra has appeared here in some time, with the ex ception of the visit lust fall of the Claude Thornhill orchestra. I^Tast What is likely to be the last project financed in this coun ty with road bond money will be considered at a letting In the State Highway and Public Works Commission office in Raleigh on Tuesday, October 21 along with fifteen other highway projects. The project, subject to con tract in this county, is the sur facing of 4.72 miles of th4 road leading off Highway 64 between Everetts and Rober sonviile near the railroad crossing, and running by Huskinaw Swamp to 963 at (■old Point. Certain Veterans Should Register —*— Even though they have already completed service enlistments in the armed forces, those young men who have not done so should j register with the draft board. It 1 was pointed out that they are not | subject to call, but if they are in the registration age group they should register, get registration cards and have their names re corded. The draft board clerk stated this week that the following men had completed enlistments, that their papers, showing honorable discharges had been received, but that no registration record is com plete: Benjamin F.

Green, well-known county farmer, con tinues seriously ill in a local hos pital. postmaster, also contiues quite ill in a hospital here. f-- " QUICKLY GONE _1 The more than 30,(M>0 acres of peanuts in Martin County this year were possibly har vested in the shortest length of time than any other crop in years. Started three weeks ago, the harvest reached a climax last week when pos sibly 15 or N percent of the crop was dug. It is estimated that 99 percent of the crop has been dug and stacked in this county. Farmers, digging their best crop in several years, are said to have done a splendid job in stacking the goobers this year, meaning that some good peanuts, weather being favorable from now on out, will be placed on the market possibly before the current month is spent. It Is reason able to expect that the lowly goober will make up for some of the financial loss resulting from a short tobacco crop in this county. Town Baled Oal And Rebuffed In Underpass Case Ml Avenues for Future Ae lion For Relief Non Shut Apparently Thr Town of Williamston had he door slammed shut in its face his week when the North Caro ina State Supreme Court virtual y ruled out any hope for having he death trap at the highway mderpass on West Main Street widened or improved. After rui ng against the town and in fav jr of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail road Company and the North Car olina State Highway and Public Works Commission, the high court went on to rebuff the town for the methods employed in an effort to get relief. Town officials had no comment to offer immediately, but there was bitter disappointment. When the court reportedly pointed out that a “softer approach" will have to be made "if the town wants the State Highwav'Ti/its.i'ussinn to re model the underass", it overlook ed or was not aware of the hum ble appeals made to both the highway commission, State offi cials and the railroad company. Town representatives have liter ally crawled on their bellies, pleading and begging that some thing be done, but one pedestrian after another has been killed or injured and pedestrian traffic continues virtually blocked there. More than one district highway commissioner has personally in spected the death trap, and every one lent a sympathetic ear, ad mitting it was a problem that needl'd immediate attention. Hut nothing was ever done about it. High State officials have inspect ed the trap. They, too, agreed something should be done about it. But nothing was or has been done. The highway commission at torney did fight the town openly in the courts, publicly belittling the town for trying to have some thing done about the death trap. Railroad company representatives have visited the place and are well acquainted with the existing dangers. The railroad says it was the highway commission’s problem. The highway commission without even saying a problem existed, rebuffed the town for seeking re lief. The News and Observer under a page-wide banner heading, re ported the case as follows: Tlie Town of Williamston will have to use a softer approach if it wants the State Highway Com mission to remodel its underpass. The State Supreme Court yes terday said suing is not the way. The troublesome underpass carries US 64 under the Atlantic Coast Line tracks. It was built 17 years ago and, in the town’s opinion, is inadequate and unsafe. In a suit heard in Martin Supe rior Court last March before Judge J. Paul Frizzelle, Williams ton sought to spur the Highway Commission and the Coast Line into action with an injunction. The Coast Line begged off. Its lawyers explained the underpass was the Highway Commission’s problem. The Highway Commis sion’s attorney answered the town hau no grounds for action against their agency. In support ot the point, the State lawyers argued that the town had made no real effort to obtain relief before filing suit and that the question of what constitutes an unsafe highway un derpass is an engineering matter outside the scope of the court. Judge Frizzelle excused the Coast Line but over-rode the Highway Commission's plea. From Judge Frizzelle, the ease went up to the Supreme Court oil appeal. On the town's contention that the Judge erred in clearing the railroad, the Supreme Court rul •d against the town and in favor 3f the judge On the Highway Commission s contention, the judge was over ruled. The Supreme Court noted that Hie town hail not sucu tile High way Coiuni'sjjon directly L-Ui had ’Billed thr chairman and the 10 division commissioners individ ually as dco rdents. That w„s on nistake, the court said, and the >uit itself war another. The widening of highways ami :he remodeling of bridges are ’matters committed by statute fo he State Highway Commission as! (Continued on Page Eight) Highest Sale Of The Year ) On Local Market Tuesday ]! Williams tun's tobacco market recorded hte highest sale of the j season on Tuesday of this week when 137.332 pounds were sold for $75,681, or an average of $55.11 per hundred pounds. Yesterday, the market sold 168,364 pounds for $91,352, the average falling just a few points under the one recorded the previous day. The price increase, while due partly to better quality tobacco, was traceable to a stronger de mand for tobacco, observers de- i dared. During the 34 sales days this year, the market here has sold i 8.213,648 pounds for $4,088,536, an 1 average price of $49.78 per hun- i died pounds. The results of the dry-hot grow ing season are beginning to show up m an unmerciful way on the markets now While the current marketing season has been very successful considering all the un favorable factors experienced during the growing season, sides are trailing those of a year ago by 1,1811,2-40 pounds, and the far mers have taken to date a beating of almost one million dollars It is quite likely that the total 1952 sales will tall two million or more pounds below the 1951 total, meaning that the 1952 income will fall about one and one-half mil lion dollars below the cash re ceipts of last season. However, the income this year is expected to approach the $5,562,037 in come figure recorded by the local market in 1950.
