Fifty Carloads of Tomatoes Shipped From Local Plant Fifty cars of tomatoes had been | shipped from Plymouth to northern markets at noon Wednesday by the Crockett Packing Company, which j started packing green tomatoes here the first of the month. Pack ing will continue in full force dur ing the balance of this month and probably longer. Some green toma toes will be packed each week un til September. The canning plant is also being put into readiness for the season, ; and it is expected that canning will be commenced the latter part of this week. The canning season will continue until the middle of September, it is understood. Members of the Crockett Pack ing Company were of the opinion that at least 200 cars of green to matoes would be shipped to north ern markets from here before the season is over. Approximately 861 boxes of green tomatoes are packed into each car, and each box contains around 100 tomatoes. This would make 86,000 tomatoes to each car, and for the fifty cars already ship ped a grand total of 4,305,000 to matoes. This would supply the entire population of Washington County; that is, each person in the county with one tomato each day for one whole year, with ap proximately 15,000 left over for seed purposes. Creswell Citizens Precipitate Stormy Session at Board of Education Meeting Monday FALSE ALARM LATE SUNDAY MUCH TROUBLE -'$> Turned in During Heavy j Rain; $25 Reward for Arrest, Conviction <3> j Members of the Plymouth hire De partment were put to a lot of extra trouble and expense here late Sunday ■ afternoon as tbe result of a false fire j alarm, which sent tbe members of the 1 company rushing out into the storm . and rain about 5 o’clock. All of the firemen were drenched to the skin, I their clothes muddied and soiled in ad- I jdition to the cost of taking the truck 'out. The cost of taking the truck out was estimated at around $12 or more, and the cost of the damaged clothes of the firemen amount to around $15. ; I Officers as vet have been unable to , discover who turned the false alarm in, but efforts are being made to appro- ' bend the guilty party or parties and bxpose them to the full penalty of the ( law. The town has an ordinance whereby $25 reward is offered for the conviction of any person for turning in a false alarm to the fire department. ( Local citizens, as well as town of- | ficials, desire to impress the fact upon the public that the fire department is a volunteer company, and the mem bers receive no pay for their services. 1 Yet they give of their time and haz ard their lives in order to protect the taxpayers’ property from damage and destruction by fire. Then, too, the fire truck is a very expensive machine and ' costs the town money every time it is started. The purpose of the fire com- , . panv is to protect property and lives ' from fire and it should not be an ob ject for playing expensive pranks up on. i Therefore, it is urged that every good citizen do all within their power to help the fire department give bet- , ter and more efficient service, by co ' operating with them in every way pos ' sible and by exposing any person who 1 turns in a false alarm. --<® Cherry Woman’s Club Holds Meet Tuesday -9 The Cherry Woman’s Club was en I tertained at its regular meeting on Tuesday, July 14, by Mrs. R.

DEMAND REASON FOR DISMISSAL OF PRINCIPAL SWAIN -- Reorganization of Local Board May Take Place As Result A rather stormy session was unex pectedly staged at a called meeting of the Washington County Board of Edu cation in the office of James W. Nor man, superintendent of public instruc tion, here } [onday, when a delegation of Creswell citizens appeared before the board and demanded an explana tion for the dismissal of former Prin cipal H. L. Swain. The delegation was composed of a round 25 men and women, represent ing the parent-teacher association and a committee from the local school board. The parent-teacher association, through its spokesman, Rev. Mr. Wil liams, asked for better sanitary ar rangements in their school building, suitable sewage disposal and a more adequate water supply. A discussion followed, participated in by various members of the commit tee, and a demand was made on the local board for an explanation of the cause for dismissal of former Princi pal H. L. Swain. A session of acri monious debate followed. The Swain supporters claimed he had rendered good services and the people almost as a whole were pleased with the principal's work. The secre tary stated that Swain was not re-em ployed because he had resigned. Chair man Swain expressed the opinion that the best solution oi the matter was to call for a reorganization of the local board and to appoint an entirely new membership. J. C. Gatlin requested that this should not be done, and asked that his resignation be accepted, stating that he thought the criticism was directed a gainst him. However, it was decided to defer the whole matter until July 23, at which time a meeting of the County Board of Education has been called. Among other things done during the day was the awarding of prizes to school truck drivers for efficient serv ice performed during the year. Stew art Lewis was awarded the first, of SIS; William Roebuck, second prize, $10; William Ross Chesson, third prize, $5. The board also ordered that the bid of $917.95 for roof work as specified, and $23 for repair of gutters of the Roper school, made by Baker and Rawls, of Raleigh, be accepted, provid ed thsi action meets with the approval of the state school board. A special meeting of the board has been called for July 23, at which time the Creswell matter will be taken up again. -« Scuppernong Woman’s Club in Regular Meet -* Scuppernong, July 14.—The Wo man’s Club of Scuppernong was en tertained by Mrs. M.

Ayers Returns Unexpectedly To Visit Relatives Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bell, 90 years young, of McAlliste.r Okla., is spend ing the week with her niece, Mrs. Claudius McGowan, visiting relatives and friends here. Mrs. Bell is a sister of the late W. C. Ayers, of this place, having left this country some forty years ago with her husband to settle in Oklahoma, which was known as In dian Territory at that time. Relatives of Mrs. Bell were under the impression that she was dead, and hence when she arrived here Sunday she was greeted hv a surprised group of relatives and friends. She visited her brother. E. \V. Ayers, of Wash ington, Sunday, accompanied there by Plymouth people. Notwithstanding her 90 years, Mrs. Bell is enjoying the best of health and is finite acitve. She is a most inter esting conversationalist, having seen the frontier settled and developed to its present state of civilization. The Washington Daily News carried the following story in its Monday is sue: "Imagine, after an absence of over 40 years, how it would feel to have a sister 90 years of age come all the way from McAllister, Okla., to pay you a visit, who you thought had probably died many years ago? "This is actually what happneed to E. W. Ayers, of this city, on Sunday. Mr. Ayers received a telephone mes sage from relatives in Plymouth say ing that they were on their way to Washington with his sister, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bell, of McAllister, Okla., early Sunday morning to spend the day' with him. j “Mrs. Bell, who left her home years ago with her husband, went out to Oklahoma to reside while Oklahoma was an Indian Territory. As time went on, owing to unsatisfactory mode of communication during that early period, Mrs. Bell lost track of her rel atives. "She decided a few weeks ago to come to Norfolk and look up a half sister, whom she knew resided there many years ago. She came all the way from McAllister alone, and upon her arrival at Norfolk found her sister, who was still living there. “Through a Norfolk paper a Ply mouth relative read of her arrival and went to Norfolk, via auto, for Mrs. Bell and brought her on to Washing ton to see Mr. Ayers. “ 'I had no trouble in making the trip whatsoever,” said Mrs. Bell to day.” The conductors all along the way took a special interest in me and looked out for me throughout th« whole trip.’ “In speaking of her early days, Mrs. Bell said, ‘I distinctly remember my great-grandfather, who served under General Washington during the Revo lutionary war. I remember as a little child getting upon his knee and play jng with the gold tassels and epaulets on his uniform, and the sword tipped with gold that he wore at his side. My husband served under General Lee, be ing a flag bearer in the C uifederate army.” COUNTY BOARD MEETS TO HEAR TAX COMPLAINTS | -a Number Protest Valuations i On Property at Meet Here This Week The board of county commissioners, sitting as a board of equalization and review, for the purpose of equalizing land values for taxation for the year 11931, met with County Tax Supervisor John W. Darden Wednesday and Thursday to judge appeals of property owners from various parts of the county who entertained the opinion that property owned by them was not placed on the books for taxation at a fair and just appraisal. There were quite a large number] who aired their contentions before the board, which meets each year just prior to the completion of the tax books, so that those who seek relief may present their claims.

F. Woodley Is Showing Way To Farmers of His Section There are 365 days in a year, and Mr. G. F. Woodley, of Cherry, one of the best farmers in all that section,' will tell you that he nets $365 from his flock of hens during these so many days. Mr. Woodley is 76 years young, and Mrs. Woodley, about the same age, looks even younger. All of the 15 children born to this remarkable cou ple are living with the exception of four. They are scattered in all direc tions—some living near the old home' and some living in distant cities. Mr. Woodley raises all of his food and feed. He grows corn 60 bushels' to the acre without fertilizer. Soja' beans on his farm now stand nearly waist high without fertilization. He grows stock beets, hay and raises some of the finest hogs seen anywhere. The Richmond market pays him III cents per pound for his hogs. Mr. Woodley has one cow that gives five gallons of milk a day. He does not believe in scrub stock, and keeps the very best. Practically everybody has read the story. “Rumple-Stilt-Skin,” the story of the rich valley of the three broth ers. When one drives down the lane leading to the rich, black land of the people settled in this section, the rich lands of the story hook fade into mere oblivion. Peaches are ripe, the trees are bending down with fruit, the fields are loaded down with their burden, and nobody has to worry about a fer tilizer bill in the fall. Mr. Woodley is one of the seven children who inherited from their fath er the original several thousand acres of land granted during the first set tlement of this country. There still remains about 4,000 acres of the orig inal land undivided, upon which stands a wealth of beautiful timber. When Mr. Woodley’s age is consid ered, it is remarkable how active and alert he is. He did not come from the stock of people that give up and wish to be taken care of by relatives. No: he is truly a gentleman of the farm. -® I I i i I i Thirteen Members of Fire Department Attend Meet -•—— Thirteen members of the Plymouth Fire Department attended the July quarterly session of the Eastern Caro lina's firemen’s Association, held in Greenvine Tuesday night.

Lawrence Jones, well-known local young man, unexpectedly coined a new war whoop Wednesday night when a huge black snake coiled its slimy body about his leg. Mr. Jones and two friends, Claire Wilson and Miller Warren, were on a frog gigging expedition in a swamp between Ply mouth and Roper Wednesday night when the snake took a fancy to Mr. Jones’ leg. Mr. Jones had shot the big snake, and it disappeared beneath the water. Thinking the reptile dead, he continued wading around in the water in quest of a hefty bull frog. Then, suddenly, he felt something gripping his leg. Glancing down, he saw the snake, and forthwith he let out a war whoop, the j melody of which had never been heard in this section before. Hence, when ^ Mr. Jones stopped running, the snake was gone. --if)-. -« MAKE RECKLESS DRIVERS PAY FOR DAMAGES BY CAR -'v New Law, Effective July 1, Would Fix Financial Responsibility -* The new financial responsibility law for North Carolina, enacted by the 19.31 legislature, went into effect July 1st. The new law aims to fix responsibility for reckless driving on the highways and secure the collection of damages where such damage results from care less or reckless driving. Heretofore owners of motor cars on the highways have been liable lo damages by court action. It was simple enough to bring suit and collect if you won a judg ment. But persons without financial responsibility could go on the road and do incalculable damage, and there was no recourse at law. The new law aims to get that class of people. As presented by one of the insur ance companies the provisions of the I laws are as follows: “The financial responsibility law per-! taining to the operation of motor ve hicles in the State of North Carolina, i effective July 1, 1931, compels the commissioner of revenue to revoke the1 license and registrations of a person when a judgment in excess of $100 has been rendered against such person, a rising out of the use of a motor ve hicle, where such judgment remains unpaid after 30 days unless such per son shall furnish proof of his ability to respond in damages for future ac-j cidents. “The failure on the part of opera tors to fulfill the requirements of this law will cause the commissioner of revenue to revoke their operating li cense and registration certificates, thereby depriving them of the privilege of operation a motor vehicle. If any person fails to return opera tor's license and regsitration certifi cates, thereby depriving them of the privilege of operating a motor vehicle, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. “If any person shall forge any oper ator’s license and registration certifi cates after failure to prove financial security, he shall be guilty of a mis demeanor and subject to a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. “If any person shall forge any evi dence of financial security he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not less than $100 or not more than $1,000, or not more than 30 days in jail, or both. The law is designed to protect the public from operators of motor ve hicles who are unable to pay for the damage caused by an accident. After a judgment has been rendered, and is not paid, the owner must present evi dence of financial responsibility before he can again operate his automobile. Financial responsibility may be es tablished in the following manner: A certificate of insurance issued by an insurance company licensed to do bus iness in the state, certifying that the ow ner carries public liability insurance of not less than $5,000 for one injured person and not less than $10,000 for two or more persons injured in any one accident, and property damage in surance of not less than $1,000 for damage to property. A bond of either a surety company or two persons sureties. Robert I.. Fritts oi Tyro township in Davidson county harvested 507 bushels of barley from seven acres of land. DISTRICT AGENT PAULINE SMITH WILL BE JUDGE Score Cards To Be Given Ten Members of Party -- Cars from all sections of the county will today wind their way up and down the highways, carrying interested gar den lovers to the various homes that have been entered in the yard improve ment contest. The contest starts promptly at 2 o’ clock at the home of Mrs. W. H. Har rison on the Long Acre Road. The contest will end around 5 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Ethel Smithson in Cresvvell. Miss Pauline Smith, district agent, will be the principal speaker and judge for the afternoon. Ten persons will be selected out of the crowd and giv en score cards. These scores will not count materially toward the prize, but will have some weight. The yards will be judged from the following standpoint: Attractiveness, 25 points; livability, protection from sun, wind, dust, 5 points; privacy, gained through planting, 5 points; fa cilities for rest, recreation, 10 points; utility, 20 points; condition and main tenance, trees shrubs, flowers, and vines, 5 points; lawn, 5 points; seg regation of poultry and livestock 5; improvements made during contest: arrangement of new planting 5 points; selection of plants, 5 points; perma nence of planting, 5 points; unsightly features eliminated, 5 points. Total, 100 points. the winner will not be announced until the federation meeting in October at Roper. The contest does not close until October l»t, and a number of contestants will, no doubt, do much more improving during this time. This tour is, however, one of the most im portant determining factors of just who the winner will be. DISCHARGES OF VETERANS MAY BE INVALUABLE —«— Urged To Have Them Re corded at Courthouse; Charge Is Small Veterans of the World War should take every precaution to preserve their discharge certificates, for in years to come they will be invaluable if occa sions arise in which proof of service would reflect to the interest of the vet eran. Washington County has provided a special set of permanent records in which discharges may be entered and preserved among other valuable papers of concern to the county. Consider able difficulty and unnecessary work has been encountered recently by those who have been active in obtaining hos pitalization and other aid for veterans who had misplaced, destroyed, or lost their discharges, when if a copy of the discharge could have been obtained from county records the work would have been greatly simplified and the relief sought considerably expedited. There is hardly a veteran who will not have occasion in the future to re tcr to his discharge for one reason or the other, and if the discharge is made a part of his county records the in formation desired may be obtained with little effort. * The register of deeds has custody of the book in which discharges may be recorded, and the fee for such regis tration is negligible—just 25 cents. It is hoped that all veterans will a vail themselves of this service furnish ed by Washington County, and that immediate steps will be taken to have their discharges properly recorded. Pleasant Grove Ladies Aid in Regular Meet -® Pleasant Grove, July 14.—The La dies’ Aid Society of Pleasant Grove held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. J. C.
