YOU ME XLIX—NUMBER 37 ESTABLISHED 1889 Town opics The joke is on Maurice Smith, who lias prowled the forests around this section since he was a youth while hunting for game. Only last Satur day he went hunting, got lost for the first time, and walked for hours, fin ally come out close to Jamesville. Dr. W. H. Johnson got some game, a good wetting, and possibly a bad cold Wednesday morning, when he went on his first hunting trip of the season. He fell into a canal, getting wet even to his shirt collar, but he managed to grab a root and pull him self back to dry land. T. W. Armstrong, manager of the Scuppernong Farms Project under the Federal Farm Security Administration, was here this week attending to some business with II. II. McLean, regarding school matters. Mr. Armstrong said he was kept busy at this season of the year harvesting the crops on the farms in the proj ect. Last year the cucumber pickle con tracts were ready for distribution in October, but this year Manager Rob erts said that would not be ready un til the latter part of November, or possibly even in December. Miss Ida Fuller will sing for the Lions at their meeting Friday night. She is a member of the local school faculty and possesses an excellent voice . Carl L. Bailey will speak, and Judge C. Everett Thompson, who is holding court at Columbia this week, may be present. There were several matters to come up for discussion at the meeting of the city council Mon day night, but not enough coun cilmen appeared to constitute a quorum, and it was necessary to postpone the meeting until later. John W. Spruill, of the Skinners ville section, was here Thursday get ting signatures to a petition asking the commissioners to get the high way commission to take over and maintain a road from his and other neighboring farms to the highway. Tlie road will serve several families, including 22 persons. Miss Mary Elizabeth Bray, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T. L. Bray, has been named drum ma jor of the Plymouth High School Band and will soon begin to study the technique necessary to suc cessfully fill this coveted position. Leaders of the Democratic party in Washington County went into a hud dle Thursday preparatory to begin ning a campaign to insure party suc cess over the Republicans in the No vember election. Only five names appear on the G. O. P. slate as can didates for office. The scow owned by the Wood Tow ing Corporation, of Norflk, which sank near the municipal dock about two weeks ago, has been raised and towed to the home base in Norfolk. It required about three days to do the work with a crane on another barge. Eight Scouts Attend Chapel Hill Jubilee —®— Eight members of the local troop of Boy Scouts, Carl Bailey, jr., Dun can Getsinger, Phillip Liverman, Ducky Lloyd, Wilford Whitley, Roy Manning, Douglas Gurkin, and War ren Robbins left today to attend the Carolina Scout Jubilee being held in Chapel Hill from October 6 through the 9th. The Rev. N. A. Taylor, lo cal Scoutmaster, carried the boys to Chapel Hill, and Dr. Alban Papineau, chairman of the Washington Coun ty District, will go for them Sunday. It was announced that J. R. Man ning had been recently appointed as district chairman on Scout camping. At the present time he is trying to locate a suitable site for the con struction of a cabin, which would be used by all the Scouts of the district in connection with the work of tire organization. -® Girl Struck by Car Near Here Tuesday -cv No warrant could be found in re corder’s court Thursday for Goliath Blount, colored, operator of an auto mobile which struck Miss Lillian Preston, 15, while she was walking along Highway 64 at the edge of town Tuesday afternoon at 6:05. The young young lady suffered a jaw injury, a broken tooth and abrasions. She was holding to the hand of Miss Na omi Swain when the car struck her. Miss Preston lives at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse McNair. Patrolman T. B. Brown tested Blount's car and found faulty brakes, no horn, and improper lights. The officer was called out of town before a warrant was drawn up, but the case will likely come up in recorder’s court next Tuesday. -$ Special Meeting of Cubs To Be Held Friday Night There will be a special meeting of the Cubpack at the courthouse on Friday evening at 7 o’clock, accord ing to Cubmaster T. B. Brown, who urges all of the boys to be present at this early hour in view of the fact that various other meetings and events are scheduled for this same night. ’’Also,” said the Cub leader, “those boys who wish to play on the Cub football squad must have the written consent of their parents.” Seek Estimate of Cost To Remodel Market Building City officials are marking time to- | day while awaiting recommendations from Gordon Norman, former local architect who now resides in Rich mond. as to plans and costs for con version of the old market building on Water Street into fire department headquarters, with rest rooms in the rear for the public. The firemen have presented their idea with a rough sketch of their needs to the town officials, but they in turn asked that Mr. Norman de velop the plans and add his estimate of the cost of the repairs and remod eling that is desired. So far, nothing has been heard from Norman as the progress he has made, and some have been waiting for him to come down one week-end and look over the proposed project to get first-hand information as to what is desired. Mayor B. G, Campbell is of the opinion that the market building now owned by the town can be re paired, remodeled and improved to meet the needs at a mucli lower price than a new building can be erected, and he feels that the cheaper method will be best for the town. After the plans are received here, officials may decide to proceed with the work independently of Federal aid if it is found that a saving to the community can be effected and the work completed earlier. AlbemarleAssociation To Meet in Columbia [next SWINE SALE 18TH j i —' There will be no swine sale by the Plymouth Mutual Livestock Association next Tuesday, and those who have hogs now ready for market should bring them on Tuesday, October 18, according to County Agent W. V. Hays. Tuesday of this week three carloads of hogs were sold to Kingan and Company at Rich mond, for S8.40 per 100 pounds, tops. This was 10 cents per 100 above the price quoted at Rocky Mount this week. American Fork and Hoe Firm Further Reduces Force Here -® Steady Drop in Export Trade Believed To Be Cause of Recent Action -® When the local unit of the Ameri can Pork & Hoe Company will re sume operations is more problemati cal now than it has been since the plant closed several months ago, as last week four additional members of the personnel were temporarily laid off. Several days ago a notice was re ceived here announcing temporary lay-offs for B. O. Bishop, foreman; A. T. Darden, engineer; Joe Rath, mechanic; and Paul Sykes, bookkeep er; leaving only Miss Ethel Arps, the manager; R. J. Sydenstricker, a tim ber man; Tom Coffield and Archie Modlin, engineers, on the payroll. The company still has a large sup ply of handles on hand manufactured before the plant closed. The stock is being steadily diminished. It is understood that one reason for the local plant being so hard hit is because many of the handles made here were for the export trade, which has shown a steady decrease in the past few years. Similar items for the domestic trade are manufactured by other units of the company; and this has been reflected in the temporary closing of the plant here, it is un officially understood. -@> Visil Here Before Leaving for Guam —*— Visiting relatives here this week are Mr. and Mrs. J. E. ThrailkiU and two children, of Philadelphia, who are planning to sail on the U. S.

Mr. ThrailkiU is a warrant officer in tire Marine Corps, where he has served for 20 years. Each 10 years he is required to do two years’ for eign duty. He has spent two years each in Santo Domingo and Haiti. Their new home is a naval base for this country and was ceded to the U. S. by Japan almost three-quarters of a century ago. Mrs. ThrailkiU was formerly Miss Anne Brown, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Brown. While here they are visiting Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. D. G.

The toal cost was not mentioned. i An additional $600 was appropriat- 1 3d for the health fund for the com- t ing year, making the total cost to the bounty for this service $3,100. < A cook stove was purchased for the county home. ?Possu ins R a ill i n " Loral Henhouses; Several Captured Hungry opossums have been com up from the forests and swamps recently to raid the chicken houses of Plymouth citizens; and since the word has gone out there is no long er the cry made to officers of the law that human thieves are stalk ing and making away with the fav ored fowls. J. O. Everett went out to chicken house the other night to see what was attacking his poultry when they spread the alarm that some thing was wrong. He saw what he saw, and he knew what to do. The next night he caught a choice 'possum in a trap. A few nights later, Ray Kim brough, son-in-law of Mrs. Mat tie Ausbon. was directed to deter mine what the fowls were "cutting up about" after their bedtime. There perched on the roost was a 'possum. -q, .-. Heal Property of 887 Persons Sold at Tax Sale Here Monday -<S> Represented $26,305 itt Un paid Taxes and Penalties For Year 1937 Real estate valued into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars went on the auction block here Monday at noon, in front of the courthouse door, when delinquent 1937 taxpayers had their property sold to satisfy past-due taxes and penalties amounting to a total of $26,305.54. Practically every certificate was bought in by repre sentatives of the county. Last year the sale represented only about $20,000 in taxes and penalties due. This year's total is about $6,000 higher; while in 1933 the taxes and penalties totaled $63,354.80. This re flects the great reduction since de pression years in the amount and value of property sold for taxes. This year there were 887 persons who had their property sold for un paid taxes. There were over 900 on the list when it was first advertised, but about 25 or 30 paid up before the day of sale. A year ago there were about 100 names fewer o|i the list. Better financial conditions existing generally throughout the county in the past four years, coupled with the efficient work of J. E. Davenport and his predecessor, J. C. Swain, as tax collectors, have combined to greatly reduce the amount of delinquent taxes during this period. The county tax rate has remained stationary at $1.80 for the last sev eral years, and is the same figure in effect for the 1938 fiscal year. Lees Mill taxpayers owe the most, as the unpaid taxes and penalties ad vertised for that township totaled $10,344.61. Plymouth Township ran a slose second, with $9,191.49. The figures for Skinnersville were $2, 502.13; and for Scuppernong Town ship, $4,264.31. Divided by races, the white people awed $21,805.30, and the colored $4, 500.24. The wide disparity in these figures show that the white people own more property and it is valued at much more than the colored. The largest single taxpayer in ar rears of' 1937 taxes was the Norfolk Southern Land Company, which owes fire county about $4,000. The amounts :'ange from that figure down to a few rents, and in many cases the penal fies and advertising costs are more .Iran the original amount of taxes iue. It is interesting to note that the rotal tax levy for the year of 1937 was $111,397.48. The total property valuation in the county is $6,188,749. 3f the amount of taxes levied, $26, 105.54 was not collected, represent ing about 24 per cent of the levy. Tax Books for 1938 Ready for Collector —®— Several things have held up the ielivery of the 1938 tax books to J. 5. Davenport, tax collector of Wasli ngton County, but Mr. Davenport is >f the opinion that they will be in lis hands by Friday of this week, 'fotices will be immediately sent out o the 3,900 individual taxpayers in ,he county, showing the amount of heir taxes for 1938. Certain discounts are allowed for mmediate payment of taxes. The liscount amounts to 1 per cent on all axes paid during the month of Oc ober and 1-2 of 1 per cent in No 'ember. They are payable at par in December and January, and begui ling with February a penalty of 1 ier cent each month is added thru itay. The total levy is slightly more than 1110,000 this year, and the tax col ector is urging early payment. nrogram of Services at Christian Church Sunday -<$> “Playing Fair With God,” will be he subject Sunday morning by the lev.

Local Legion Post To Sponsor Carnival of Fun October 17 To 22 To H<‘ Held al New Baseball Park; Fireworks and Free Aets Features -* There will be fun, contests, prizes and entertainment for all when the Washington County Agricultural Fair Association, Inc., presents the Dixie Model Shows at the Kieckhefer Park from October 17 through October 22, according to Dr. C. McGowan, the secretary. The event is being sponsored by the James E. Jethro Post of the Ameri can Legion here, and the fair organi zation is headed by prominent Leg ionnaires, including W. V.

Nickens Speaker at Lions Meeting Last Week -—— Commends Work of Organi zation and Urges Its Continuance -«■ "Reports are prevalent here of the good deeds of the Lions Club, and I have heard it said that you have helped ihe hungry to find bread; the naked to find clothing, and those who were in need to find that which met their need," said Rev. P. B. Nickens, pastor of the Baptist church, who ad dressed the Lions last Thursday night. "In doing deeds such as these, you are contributing to the development of the community in which you live, and you may be assured that no deeds such as these shall go unre corded. “As you are leaders,I urge you to continue this good work. Continue to direct the lives of our citizens in the highest channels of right living. May each of you live so that when you pass from the stage of action the community in which you have lived will be a better place because you passed that way,” said the minister. Speaking on the "Relationship of the Church to the Community,” the minister pointed out that there are three principal delusions that are now handicapping the forces for good in the world. "These are,” he said, "People think that (1) happiness is in abundance of possessions; (2) success is depend ent upon speed; (3) virtue or good ness is a negative quality.” Music for the occasion was pro vided by the colored Silver Star Quar tette. The Lions now return to their weekly meetings instead of bi-weekly, as has been the case during the sum mer months. Local Baptist Pastor A nnounces Services Rev. P. B. NICKENS.

Final Riles for Mrs. Sue L. Blount Held At Roper Monday Diet! Stirulay in Columbia, at Home of Niece; Was 84 Y ears Old Funeral services were held Monday atfernoon in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at Roper for Mrs. Sue L. Blount, 84, one of the county’s old est and best-known citizens, who died Sunday afternoon after an illness of four months. The end came while Mrs. Blount was staying with a niece, Mrs. Henry Davenport, in Columbia, who is one of her nearest relatives. Her hus band, the late John Blount, former merchant of the Roper, died several years ago. Rev. Sidney Mathews, of Washing ton, rector of St. Luke's Church, of which Mrs. Blount was a faithful and loyal member for many years, con ducted the funeral services, and the interment was made in the old St. Luke's Cemetery, about two mils from Roper, where St. Luke’s Church was founded. There was a large cccicourse of friends and relatives present at the final rites for the aged woman, who was a descendant of an old and dis tinguished family in this section, the members of which have long been prominently identified with affairs in the Roper section.

Pursuit airplanes are small single mo tored planes. They will operate at any height where hostile planes can be found. They will always be in flights of nine and in larger forma tions. The hostile air force (Black) is equipped with bombardment attack and reconnaissance planes. The bom bardment planes are large two motor ed and four motored ships. They can be distinguished by their size and the fact that they will usually fly at great heights in flights of three. Attack planes are single motored !ow wing airplanes, alumnium colored. They will usually fly at low altitudes in flights of six airplanes. Reconnaissance airplanes are two motored, low wing, aluminum color ’d airplanes. They will fly at any Utitude but may be distinguished by he fact that they will be flying in lividually. These planes usually pre cede an attack by hostile attack or Dombardment planes, for whom they furnish weather information, photo graphs of areas, and illumination of argets. It is important, therefore, hat single planes be reported in order hat the anti-aircraft defense and de fending pursuit aviation may be pre pared to act when the bombardment » attack formation of airplanes ar rive. -- Agriculture Teacher Tor Colored School —$— Washington County's first colored vocational agriculture teacher, W. T. Marable, of Henderson, started his work in the Plymouth Colored High School Monday morning.

During his college career he starred in basketball, football and track. I Number From I bis Section ill Hearing Ilebl Last I iicmla> Various Causes Given for fie dining Fisli Supply; Ask Investigation -® "The Federal Government has sub sidized industry and agriculture in various ways; now I think it is time for the State and Federal Govern ments to cooperate to promote aid for the forgotten' fisherman," said W. R. Hampton, member of the State Board of Conservation and Develop ment and himself a commercial fish erman, at the hearing held by the House Committee on Merchant Ma rine and Fisheries in Belhaven last Tuesday. Messrs. Bunch, E. J. Spruill and his son, all three commercial fisher men at Mackeys, told the committee that they believed the Roanoke Rapid and Plymouth pulp mills' waste had some kind of deadly effect on fish, especially herring, and urged that this phase be investigated. Other fish ermen at the hearing blamed the de clining fish industry on spawn-eating eel and carp, digging of inland wa terways and pulp-mill waste. And they all agreed that something should be done immediately for the fisher men. Mr. Hampton pointed out that this state ranked third in the production of fish but 15th in income received from fish, and he went on to say "we have stood idly by and watched the average annual income of the fisher man in this state drop from $450 to $160; and now is the time to act. Mr. Hampton asked the committee to provide experts to study the shad industry, which has been declining steadily in recent years, and to find ways and means to revive this indus try, which was once a large and prof itable enterprise for the fishermen of the Albemarle and other sounds near by. "What is needed," he told the 300 fishermen and the committee, ‘‘is to provide a research department for the fishing industry, and conduct a scientific investigation to determine the cause of the diminishing sup ply of shad and other fish and to promote a market for the profitable handling of fish.” Nine counties were represented at the hearing, whcih was presided over by Congressman C. Otis Bland, of Newport News, chairman of the com mittee. Information is being sought at these hearings upon which to base remedial legislation, which may be proposed by the House committee at the next session of Congress. Colored Home Here Destroyed by Fire Local firemen answered two alarms within six hours Tuesday, when they raced to the residences of J. J. (Slick) Jordan, colored, on Wilson Street and Ritz Garrett, colored, in the White City section. Little damgae was done to the Gar rett home, but Jordan’s home was burned to the ground, the total loss being estimated at $1,000. The roof had fallen before the firemen ar rived, although they reached the scene within a few minutes from the time the alarm was sounded. Garrett’s house was damaged by a hole in the roof next to a flue. It is believed defective flues were respon sible for both fires. -® Makes Brave Fi^ht Despite Obstacles Weakened physically by three op eration over a period of a few months, Mrs. J. W.
