In early manhood he was mar ried to Annie Maude Manning. Following her death he was mar ried to Eva Mac Pate on Decem ber 19, 1926. She survives him.

Band Will Take Part In Festival —•— Saturday morning at 8:00 two busses, a truck and a number of private cars will follow a patrol car to Elizabeth City carrying the Marching Band of Williamston High School to take part in the big Potato Festival parade at ll o'clock in the morning. While three members of the majorette squad will stay over to take part in a twirling contest at 7:30 on Memorial Field, the band itself will return to Williamston about 4:00 o’clock in the after noon. The majorettes taking part in the twirling contest are Gerolene Williams, Helen Christopher and Janice Robertson. This is a state twirling contest and the winnei will be given an all expense trip to St. Paul for the National Twirl ing Association's contest. Last year this was won by a Roanoke Rapids majorette. Five trophies or plaques will be presented to the first five winners in the baton twirling contest as well as the trip to the national twirling contest. The parade for the Little Base ball league Friday evening will serve as a sort of warmup /or the appearance of the band at Eliza beth City on Saturday. It will be the last scheduled ac tivity for the band this teim. MIGRANTS ____ Migrant workers, mostly from Florida, are moving north in fairly large numbers, presumably going to the cab bage fields for immediate employment and later to help handle the Irish potato crop across the sound and on up in Virginia. They are running a little ahead of schedule, and are traveling in better busses and trucks this year than in form er years. Teachers Receiving Large Pay Increase This Month Teachers in the Martin County schools along with other em ployees in the schools are receiv ing a salary increase amounting to more than $70,000 as a result of action taken by the last State Legislature. Carrying a ten per cent pay increase based on the term salary, checks will be deliv ered to the teachers in this county on Thursday of this week, it was announced. The $70,000 figure does not include the increases that will go to teachers employed by the county or special districts This group includes vocational teachers and those in special posi tions, it was explamed. A teacher holding an A-ll rat ing ordinarily gets $345 a month. The ten percent increase will boost that teacher’s pay check this month by $311, less withholding taxes. Retirement will not figure in the salary increase, it was ex plained. The increase is retroactive for j teachers to the beginning of the 1952-53 term. Next term the sal ary increase of ten percent will be added to the cheeks each month. A preliminary budget study by the Martin County Board of Edu cation on Monday points to an in crease to care for the salary in crement. No definite figures were offered, and the size of the increase could not be determined immediately for the coming term. | INSURMOUNTABLE | i _/ Obstacles in the path of those working to reopen the Farm Life High*School are almost insurmountable, ac cording to reliable informa tion gained this week. While plans to reopen the high school have not been defi nitely abandoned, leaders in the community point out that the reopening is not likely at this time. "It is possible that some one can and will come for ward with a plan to solve the problem, but no such plan has yet been offered,” Com mittee Chairman Oscar Rob berson said. Engage In Free For-All Fight Two women—mother find dau ghter—were11 Bruised, scratched ! and battered in a free-for-all fight I with the Hezekiah Bell clan on I South Pearl Street here last Sun ! day morning. Justice Chas. R. Mobley spent ! more than an hour trying to un ravel the evidence, but no clear understanding of the trouble was I gained. The victims, defendants land others were still hopping mad j when Justice Mobley was review ing the evidence, and only a spark apparently was needed to start a new scrap right in the court i room. After picking out a few names, the trial justice sent the I cases to the other courts, three i to the county court for trial next j Monday and two to the juvenile court. Hattie Mae Bell was charged! with striking Ollie Whitley over the head with a hoe handle, caus ing a knot equally as large as a hen egg. Shirley Mae Bell was booked for an assault with a dead ly weapon. Lonnie Rhee Bell, charged with simple assault, was taxed with the costs. Verna Mae Bell, charged with helping tear off one victim’s clothes, was book ed for a hearing in the juvenile court. Alleged to have charged a small child with a hoe, Violent* Bell is to go into the juvenile court. Charged with aiding and abetting in an assault, Lizzie Bell was booked for trial in the coun t.v court next Monday. She was released in $50 bond. Repeatedly scratched about the face and battered, Margie Whitley was given medical treatment and released from the hospital a short ■time later to attend the hearing. Check Hail Loss In This Section —*— Working all day last Saturday and Monday, six adjusters, repre senting several insurance com panies, are completing a survey of the damage caused by a wind-hail storm in this immediate section last Tuesday afternoon. The loss is expected to run into the tens of thousands of dollars, bat no complete report could be had im mediately. Several farmers prepared their land a second time and trans planted the crop in its entirety, while others resorted to resetting in a big way to offest the damage. Dry and hot weather prevailing over the week-end has hampered the growth of the young plants, and the late transplantings arc not too promising at this time, Farmer Skippy Cowen said this morning.

Contract Let For Jamesville Negro School Addition —•— Project To Cost *60,000; Provides Class Rooms, Library and Heat Meeting in a special session Monday morning, the Martin County Board of Education let a contract for the construction of an addition to the Jamesville Ne g-o school. The contract goes to low bidder, J. T. Hardison and Son of Washington, who, accord ing to one report, plan to start work on the project within a short time. The contract represents a figure of $60,393, repr 'senting the cost of the general contract, electrical woi k, and heating of the new and old building and the architect’s fees. The addition will house four class rooms, an auditorium, heat ing plant and a library room, plus possible space for a kitchen. The building addition, connecting with the present structure, is to be of brick and block construction. It is understood that the project is being advanced as a part of a general consolidation plan for the Negro schools in this county, but no details of future plans have been made public. When the new plant is completed possibly sometime in 1954 the school plant near Dardens will be closed. The students in the Dardens area along with possibly others in nearby sections will be moved to Jamesville. The Jamesville project, while not as extensive in design as had been hoped for, will greatly re lieve a bad situation existing in the Jamesville-Dardens section, it was pointed out. While in their meeting Monday, the education board members studied preliminary budget fig ures for the 1953-54 term, but no final action was taken. One re port said that salary increases and general needs pointed to increases in certain departments. Playground Work Is Going Forward It has appeared doubtful for sometime that the project'of the local Jayceos to construct a Com munity Playground would be near enough to completion for use by the children of Wiliiamston this summer. Hampered by rains during the past few weeks the Jayeees have been unable to work only about one day each week and each new work day finds the cleared part of the previous week hidden by fast growing weeds and vines fed by the frequent rains. Last Wednesday afternoon, the half day holiday from work for most local citizens, found the Jay cees with straight handled bush axes swinging from mid-afternoon until dark. With jus't a few days rest the local young men return ed again Saturday afternoon and have managed to get the jump on the under-growth, they having now cleared about one-half of the playground site. Exum Ward, President of the organization, explained that with a few tnorc days of fair weather and sunshine coupled with a few more strong backs from the club membership, hopes were high that the project may be sufficiently advanced that the children will have an opportunity to use it some this summer. Any person knowing of any available playground equipment is urged to contact Bernard Har rison. In The Court For Beating His Wife —«— Jesse Beach, young colored man, is in the courts for allegedly beating his wife, Alice, at their home on Hunter Street Sunday morning. Placed under a $100 bond following a hearing in Jus tice Chas. R. Mobley's court, Beach is booked for trial before Judge H. O. Peele in the record er's court next Monday. The wife said she visited a neighbor against her husband's wishes, and that he whipped her when she returned home. The tears were still running when she testified at the preliminary hear ing. Start Construction On Two Stores and A Service Station Extrusive Building Project Is Located Corner Main* Washington Streets -—-# Construction work is well un der way on two store buildings on Washington Street and the old Central Service Station is being torn away to make room for an ultra modern station at the corner of Washington and Main Streets. The foundation has been laid for most of the store buildings and Harry Jones and Company is wrecking the old station. Station manager-operator, Bruce Hollo man, said yesterday that he would continue to operate as long as possible, but that he would be forced to close his business for several weeks during the con struction period. The two new stores, one meas uring !)ti by 34 feet and the other 50 by 25 feet, are being built bv J. S, Whitley. The Harrison Oil Company is building the new fill ing station. No cost figures were released, but it is estimated that the struc tures will run between $00,000 and $70,000. The store buildings are being constructed of brink and cement blocks with the fronts to be fin ished in plate glass and Roman bricks. It is the first time that! Roman bricks have been included I in the specifications for a building here. It is understood that both j the stores have been leased. Tin- new filling station will house a sales room, and three bays for washing and greasing. The station is to be constructed with cement blocks covered with porcelain, it was learned. The building project is on the site occupied by the James Edwin Moore home for many years. A portion of the property whs sold some years ago to the Harrison Oil Company and used for a fill ing station. The remainder of the property was sold to the late J. S. Peele and until recently was occupied by the Eastern Bond and Mortgage Company, Shaw's Sandwich Shop and Grady Thom as' barbershop.
