VOLUME L—NUMBER 2 Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina, Friday, January 13, 1939 ESTABLISHED 1889 Town opics Judge C. Everett Thompson has li cense number 101 on his car. Of ficials of the State government and court officials have the low numbers as a mark of distinction. The Gov ernor's car carries tag No. 1 and the numbers go up as the officials drop in rank. G. R. Leggett, local jeweler, had his tonsils removed last week. Though suffering with a sore throat, Mr. Leg gett was feeling very well this week and was back at work the third day after the operation. Frank C. Spruill, clerk at E. II. Livermans store for several years, reisgned the first of the year to travel for a Norfolk wearing ap parel concern, and Mr. Liverman here was his first customer when he went to work this week. James Gee, colored man of the Morrattock church section, was res cued from his burning home one day this week by friends while the negro was sitting on the front porch in a stupor with flames around him. Chester Hawkins, of Norfolk, sup erintendent of the Norfolk Southern Bus Corporation, spoke to the Lions Club here last Thursday night, ex plaining that as soon as highway No. 97 is completed that the route of the bus now operating between Plymouth and Pea Ridge will be extended from Washington to Pea Ridge Uneasiness experienced by bell “ringers at the Grace Episcopal church that the bell might fall from its supports and land on the head of the ringer was dispelled this week when R. L. Tetterton went into the belfry and found that the supports were strong and in good condition. A. R. Dupree, local attorney, who was injured in an automobile acci dent week before last, was able to be out of the house for the first time on Monday of this week. No serious injuries were sust tied by Mr. Du pree, whose car failed to make a curve. R. L. Sydenstricker, forester for the American Pork & Hoe Company, aft er a short visit here, where he was stationed for several years, will leave Friday for Columbus, Ind. He has been located there for the past few months, having been transferred when the personnel of the local plan* was reduced. T. C. Burgess, well-known mer chant, secretary of the mer chants association, hnd city coun cilman, was down town Sunday with his family and down town again Monday in the car of Pa trolman I" B Brcwn. Hir Con dition is steadily improving. Coach John Weaver announced this week that the following basketbal' games had been scheduled for nea* week and that others would be an nounced later: Wednesday night, Au rora here; Thursday night, James ville here; Friday night, Windsor here. Friday night of this week the boys’ and girls’ teams go to William ston, -$ May Use Material in Old Creswell School For Garage and Gym County Board Education Di rects Superintendent To Seek WPA Aid -® The apparent lack of interest by private investors in the old Creswell school building may result in the building of a new brick county school bus garage in Plymouth and a gym nasium for Creswell, according to the members of the county board of edu cation. Superintendent H. H. Mc Lean has been authorized by the county board to make an effort to get WPA financial assistance in taking down the building and using the ma terial for the construction of the ga rage and Creswell gym. High insurance rates on the old building, which was condemned for use by school children, are import ant factors in deterring individuals from purchasing it for use as stor age space. If the WPA projects can be se cured, not only for dismantling the building but also for construction of the garage and the gym, then it is believed this will be the best possible solution of the razing of the struc ture as required by the terms of the agreement with the PWA, which helped finance the new building. Mr. McLean and the board mem bers desire to get the most out of the old building for the benefit of the educational system in the coun ty, and it is believed securing WPA aid in erecting the garage and gym will be the best solution to the prob lem. If the building was sold to outside individuals, it would necessarily be at a sacrifice, and since the educational system already owns the land and has need of the proposed buildings, the board feels the county would be best served by following this course. House Chevrolet Company Passes First Milestone Here -® This week the House Chevrolet Co. is celebrating its first anniversary in1 the automobile business in Plymouth and they reported that despite ad verse farming conditions and lagging business conditions the firm has en joyed a successful year. W. Clayton House, manager of the firm, is optimistic about prospects this year, despite prevailing circum stances in farming and general busi ness conditions. Halsey-Snell (lase Is Settled: Court Likelv ' •/ To Adjourn Friday --s Lundy Chambers Gets 7-10 Year Sentence for Slaying Of Hardy Vanhorn Settlement of the long-drawn-out case of J. L. Halsey against Mrs. Clara F. Snell, administratrix of the late A. D. Snell, was recorded at the January term of Washington County Superior Court this week, with Judge C. Everett Thompson, of Eliz a beth City, presiding. It was be lieved the court would adjourn for the term either Thursday night or Friday. Halsey had claimed that he was injured at a sawmill operated by Mr. Snell before his death and that Snell promised him if he would not enter suit that he would be remembered in his will. The administratrix of the will claimed that nothing in the will mentioned this mattter. However, the records now show that the mat ter has been adjusted out of court, although the amount of the settle ment was not recorded. The suit was instituted for $10,000, and it is reported the settlement was in the neighborhood of $2,000. The following criminal cases had been disposed of, up to Thursday at noon: Lundy Chambers, 39, white, was given from 7 to 10 years in the state prison for the slaying of Hardy Van horn.

Need Fete More Members To Organize Eastern Star Nearly enough members have been obtained to secure a charter for a lo cal chapter of the Eastern Star, an auxiliary of the Masonic order, it was learned today from Mrs. D. R. Sat terthwaite, who was appointed with Mrs. R. E. Dunning and Mrs. L. A. Larkin, on the organization commit tee.

This is the project chosen by the Alba club members for this year, and they invite anyone who wishes to at tend and near the plan outlined by Mr. Saunders for Improving the ap pearance of highways, Mrs. Frances M. Darden, the home agent, said. Farm Bureau of County Opens Drive for Members A drive for members of the Washington County Farm Bureau was officially opened here at a meeting in the Agriculture Build ing Wednesday night, when J. T. Cooper, of Raleigh, assistant sec retary of the North Carolina Farm Bureau, was the speaker and explained the rules of the membership contest. It was decided to divide those present at the meeting into two groups with A. J. Riddle and W. D. Phelps as leaders. Each would solicit members for his group, and the members of the losing side will entertain the winners wtih a free supper on Wednesday night, January 25. After the membership cam paign was lined up and disposed of, Mr. Cooper spoke to the farm ers present on the need for re vitalizing the farm bureau here so that in its activities the farm ers could have some aid in ad justing themselves to the new farm program. Also present to take part in the program were County Agent W. V. Hays and M. A. Morgan, field supervisor of the AAA. Much Moving Among Tenants Is Reported At Least 150 Families In County Changing Places This Season Places for Wanderers Are Getting Harder and Harder To Find -1 It is indicated that approximately 150 farm families in Washington County will change their places of residence this year, reports claiming there is much more moving than was the case last year. The annual shifting about on Jan uary 1, reaching into fairly stable communities for the first time in a number of years, is principally but not altogether confined with in the county. A few are moving in from and out to other counties, and in iso lated instances from other states. John L. Phelps, well-known farm ei of Creswell, said there was more moving than he had seen in his whole lifetime in his section, while R. W. Johnston said that while there were a few moving about in the Plymouth section, the migration was not more than usual. Both white and colored are caught in the necessity for moving, some re ports stating that landowners, dis heartened by the indifference of theii old tenants, are anxious to have them leave. Good tenants are in demand, but this type is not engaged exten sively in the moving about. To date, the shifting has not ma terially affected school attendance, the office of the board of education explaining that as fast as the families of some pupils moved, others came in to take their places, leaving the enrollment virtually unchanged. There are a large number of farm families moving into the Weston Farms area, as well as some moving away. This farm will be operated on a cooperative basis next year, and some of the tenants there would not agree to work with the Scuppernong Farms Project under the terms of the new plan presented by the Farm Se curity Administration. It was reported that 11 new fam ilies from Alabama have come into the county to work on the Govern ment farms. A number of tenants who worked under the PSA there last year have moved away, including a few who had agreed to purchase their farms. With the middle of January here, the moving is still incomplete, and numbers of families have been di rected to vacate their homes and find places elsewhere. Places are hard to find, and it is apparent that the lot of the tenant farmer is becoming harder as the seasons come and go. Many loads of “moving-worn” fur niture have been seen on carts and wagons on the roads of the county, but not a cow or a hog and very few chickens are ever seen with them. -® Funeral Services for Bruce Davenport Held Last Friday Funeral services were held at Holly Neck Christian church Friday after noon for Bruce Davenport, who died Thursday in a Columbia hospital aft er an illness of several weeks. Inter ment took place in a cemetery ad joining the church. The Rev. M. L. Ambrose officiated. Though a native of Washington County, Mr. Davenport had been re siding in Gates and Chowan coun ties for a number of years. Surviving are a widow and several children; also three brothers, Joe, Lee and Sam Davenport, of Holly Neck. -® Will Begin Mission At Episcopal Church Officials of Grace Episcopal church here announced this week that a mis sion would begin at their church next Sunday night, January 15, and con tinue each night throughout the week following. The Rev. John W. Hardy, formerly rector of the Episcopal church at Creswell and now minister for the Church of the Advent, Wil liamston, will conduct the services, assisted by the Rev. Sidney Matthews, rector of the local church. Services will begin each night at 8 p. m. The congregation of Grace Church is urged to attend this mission, and the public is cordially invited. JUNE IN JANUARY It’s almost “June in January” in these parts these days. The mercury has been hanging just about the 70-degree mark in the shade and around 85 and 90 in the sun for the past two weeks. The nights, however, have been fairly cool. Overcoats have just about dis appeared by day, and a few of the more hardy souls have been going about in their shirt sleeves. Amendment Would Allow for Nominal Pay of Councilmen —<§>— Town Attorney Directed To Draw Up Changes in Charter -e The Plymouth city council, in ses sion Monday night decided that a small fee for attendance at regular meetings would probably serve to stimulate a better attendance than has been the case recently, and asked City Attorney Z. V. Norman to pre pare an amendment to the city char ter, for passage by the legislature, which will allow the councilmen. $3 each for each meeting attended and increase the salary of the mayor to $25 monthly. Several meetings are usually called off during the year, and others are delayed and postponed, due to lack of a quorum, and the council mem bers believe that their services are worth at least an appreciation fee. It was also pointed out that the increased business of the town and its affairs are claiming more and more time of the mayor, and that it would be proper to increase the sal ary of that office commensurate with the time required now required to at tend to the duties of the office. When the charter amendment is pre pared by the city attorney, it will be turned over to Representative W. M. Darden for introduction and consid eration in the present session of the legislature. Heretofore, the mayor has drawn a salary of $12.50 monthly, while the council members served witnout com pensation. Mayor Campbell and the council members have served under these terms without complaint, but now consider that in view of the growth of the town and its activities, which are claiming more of their time, that they should receive a fair return for their services. Several From Here Will Attend Scout Meeting ♦. A number of Washington County Boy Scout officials, including Dr. A. Papineau, district chairman, Blount Rodman, assistant scoutmaster in Plymouth, Dr. S. V. Lewis, health com mitteeman, and others are planning to join representatives from 20 other counties at the 15th annual meeting of the East Carolina Council ip Kin ston next Tuesday. The local men will attend the ban quet session at the Methodist church at night to hear E. Umer Goodman, director of the program division of the Boy Scouts of America. Probation Officer Here This Week H. V. Leary, of Camden, probation officer for the first judicial district, was here during court this week pinch hitting for Stephen Kenney, of Tar boro, officer for the second and third districts, who was attending court elsewhere and could not be present. Mr. Leary did some work here on the cases of Eddie Stillman and Rus sell Swain, white boys, who were sen tenced in recorder’s court recently on a charge of larceny of a bicycle each from Bosie Owens and Shelton Mc Nair. The boys noted an appeal to the superior court, which placed their case under the supervision of the pro bation officer. Judge C. Everett Thompson turned the matter over to Mr. Leary, who was working on the case this week. Under the provision of a suspend ed sentence the boys must prove their good behavior to the court at each criminal term. Heirs of Mrs. B. F. Owens May Claim Valuable Property —$— Choice Residential Section Is Likely To Be Object of Litigation -- . Thousands of dollars’ worth of choice residential property in the eastern part of Plymouth may change hands as the result of efforts being made now by the grandchildren of Mrs. B. P. Owens to establish the “rightful ownership.’’ The claimants have retained John D. Langston, Goldsboro attorney, to represent them, and he has been here recently going over the records. It was reported that he found “some grounds on which the grandchildren may base their claims for the prop erty.” It is said that Mrs. Owens, whose death followed that of her husband, left several acres of property here to her children with the proviso that they were to leave it to their chil dren, or the 22 grandchildren of Mrs. Owens. Only two of the children of Mrs. Owens are now living, Mrs. A. R. Du pree, sr., and Mrs. Claudia Read. The others, inculding C. W. Owens, L. L. Owens, Henry Owens, Mrs. Mabel Leggett, have since died. It was re ported that about 28 years ago these children sold their rights to the prop erty to L. L. 'Bosie) Owens. However the claimants allege that the property was left, under the terms of a hand-written will by Mrs. Owens, to her children to be handed down to their children; and that no one has received any authority to sell or dispose of the property and deprive the grandchildren of then- Inheri tance. It was also said that no guar dians had ever been appointed by the court for the grandchildren of Mrs. OWens, and that no court order had ever been recorded giving Mrs. Owens’ children or anyone else authority to sell the property. The property includes the land on which are now located the homes of A. D. Basinger, J. C. Smith, W. A. Davidson, J. B. Edmundson, R. E. Dunning, Cleveland Smith, and the colored school building. Lawyers have traced ownership of the property through the secords sev eral times, the Federal Housing Ad ministration has had the titles checked, an out-of-town bank has had its attorneys go through the ab stracts and deeds, and no flow had ever been found in the titles. No papers have been filed with the clerk of the court here yet, but one of the heirs said this week that this would be done in due time and then the legal battle will be on in earnest. A number of people here remem ber when L. L. Owens started devel opment of this area by building the large and imposing residence now owned by W. A. Davidson, and there has never been a suggestion of the title being imperfect until just re cently. -9 Local Men Return From Memorable Trip To California —$— Visit Many Interesting Places In Addition To Seeing Rose Bowl Game W. R. Gaylord, Joe Arps, Walter Clark, and W. H. Clark returned to their homes here last Saturday night after a two-weeks 5,745-mile trip to Pasadena, Calif., where they saw, among other things, the Rose Bowl football game between Duke Univer sity and the University of Southern California on January 2. While away they visited Mexico twice; saw the famous Auga Caliente and Santa Anita race tracks; attend ed a broadcast in Hollywood’s Radio City, where Tyrone Power and Lo retta Young were featured in a play; watched Mickey Rooney lead the cheering for the California team in the Rose Bowl; attended the premiere showing of “The Great Man Votes,” featuring John Barrymore and Pris cilla Lyon, the latter formerly of Plymouth; visited Harry Lyon, also a former resident here, who is now a sound-effects man at a radio station; viewed the Tournament of Roses pa rade with about a million and a half other people; and Walter Clark se cured the autographs of Eleanor Powell and Johnny Weismuller, who, with Florence Rice, sat near them in the Duke section of the large stadi um at the football game. The party left here Christmas aft ernoon by car, following the south ern route 2,830 miles across the con tinent, reaching their destination Thursday, December 29, at 11 p. m. They returned by the northern route, 2,915 miles, leaving there at 8 a. m. Tuesday, January 3, and reaching home Saturday at 6 p. in. -<5 News-Reel Pictures oj Rose Bowl Game Here Next Week Shep Brinkley, manager of the two local theatres, announced today that he had been fortunate in securing news-reel pictures of the Duke-Sou them California football game in the Rose Bowl January 2, to be shown here next Monday and Tuesday, Jan uary 16 and 17, at the Plymouth The atre. "There will be no increase in the prices of admission,” Mr. Brinkley said, and the regular feature pro grams will be presented both days. Credit Facilities May Effect Crop Control TOBACCO INCREASE ] v_/ An increase of 30 per cent in the 1939 tobacco transplantings over those for 1939 was predict ed over the week-end by State farm leaders. The prediction was made following a survey con ducted in most of the tobacco producing counties in the sec tion. While some increase in the crop is anticipated in this coun ty, Washington farmers are not expected to go that far in an ex pansion program during the com ing season. Darden Gets Several Choice Assignments On List Committees Gels Place on Appropriations, Agriculture, Judiciary No. 2 and Others -e Representative Wilbur M. Darden, of Washington County, landed as signments on three important and four minor committees of the House of Representatives this week, when Speaker D. L. Ward announced the appointments this week. The principal committee member ship of Mr. Darden is the powerful finance committee; with agriculture and judiciary No. 2 following in or der. His other committee assign ments include that of counties, cities and towns; journal; commercial fish eries; and engrossed bills. Observers consider that the Wash ington County representative made a good showing by being able to get on some of the important committees his first time in the legislature. The House has 120 members and 46 com mittees, those who know the inside workings of the Assembly say Mr. Darden did very well to get the com mittee memberships he received this week. It is understood here that Mr. Dar den was favorable to W. E. Fenner, of Rocky Mount, for Speaker, but when Fenner threw his support to Ward, the successful candidate Da den supported the victor. -- Grand Jury Suggests Repairs To Number Of Seliool Buildings Compliments and Criticism Mixed in Report Made To Court This Week Compliments and criticism were mixed in the report made to Judge C. Everett Thompson here this week by the grand jury, which examined the offices of the county officials and found them in good condition but found some of the public buildings neglected. The county home keeper was com plimented for his work and the care of the inmates, but a recommendation was made that repairs be made to the roof and front porch. Public school buildings needed re pairs as follows, according to the re port: Deep Bottom, repairs to porch, windows and pillars underneath the house; Mount Delane, repairs to win dows and a door needed: Back Woods repairs to roof flues, windows, porch and a bridge at the front; Roper white school, repairs to windows and locks on toilets; Macedonia, repairs to front steps and new heaters need ed ; Creswell colored school needs new seats. The county school busse;;, exam ined by Patrolman Tom Brown before the grand jury met, were reported in good condition. The grand jury found the old build ing in Creswell seriously needing re pairs and recommended that occu pancy of the new school building take place as early as possible. The Creswell prison camp was in ‘excellent condition,” according to the report. A. R. Phelps served as foreman. Making Survey of Drainage Project Expected here this week was Jack White, an engineer of the United States Public Health Service work ing cooperation with the State Board of Health, who was to survey the need of drainage for mosquito con trol of thousands of acres of farm and timberland along the Scupper nong River in the Cherry and New lands sections, with a view to deter mining whether to approve it for a WPA project. Officials here expect that the proj ect will be approved, in view of the fact that it has already been recom mended by J. A. Ferree, district sani tary engineer, and T. W. Armstrong, manager of the Scuppernong Farms project. Drainage would benefit more than 1,000 people who have farms and timberlands in the area which are covered with water at certain sea sons. The starting point of the proj ect wold be at Bull pond and con tinue into Cherry along Scuppernong River. Number Farmers Said To Fie Unable To Secure Loans —— Most Agencies Require Col lateral in Addition To Crop Lien Washington County farmers, un certain of credit facilities to be avail able this spring, are hustling around seeking methods of financing their 1939 activities. Farmers who are able to put up collateral are seeking loans from banks and like financial institutions, while the Production Credit Associa tion expects an increase in its busi ness of about 20 per cent. However, unless Congress makes provision for the seed and feed loans, such as have been available during the past three or four years, it is be lieved many of the small farmers will have a hard row to hoe, as time mer chants in general throughout the farming sections have indicated they will restrict their advances to a great er degree than usual this year. While no official statements have *■ been made by banks and other lend ing agencies in the county as to their terms for making loans, it is under stood that loans are being made al most without exception only to those farmers who are able to offer more than a crop lien as collateral. The Farm Security Administration, represented here by R. E. Dunning and his staff, is concerned principally with the rehabilitation and financing of farmers who intend to purchase their own farms, and applications to this agency greatly exceed the num ber of loans and money allotted for this purpose. Landlords, most of whom took a loss on their farming operation last year, will of necessity limit advances to their tenants to a far greater ex tent than usual, and this is expected to work a hardship on some tenants. Practically all share-croppers and tenants are dependent upon the land lords for advances to take care of their living expenses until the crop ; ,.<1 md i.*i vested. A number of farmers who fought tobacco control with the intention of increasing their acreages are finding it difficult to finance their fertilizer purchases for even as large a crop as they had last year. Many credit agencies are said to be refusing applications for loans from farmers who wish to increase their tobacco acreage. Filial Rites Sunday Afternoon for Mrs. Arcenthia Spruill, 69 Well-Known Resident of Cres well Section Died Satur day After Long Illness Creswell.—Funeral services for Mrs. Arcenthia Spruill, 69, widow of the late Dave Spruill, were conducted Sunday afternoon in the Creswell Baptist Church with the Rev.

Daven port, Creswell. -$ Board of Health To Meet Friday A meeting of the recently appoint ed Board of Health of Washington County will meet Friday morning for the purpose of appointing a county physicians. Dr. T. L. Bray has held this position for several years, and his services were very satisfactory, but it is not known whether he will accept the place again. It is understood that since the dis trict health office has assumed the vaccination duties and some other work usually associated with the county physician's office, there may be a reduction in the $50 monthly salary now paid. Members of the board are Dr. T. L. Bray, Dr. W. H. Johnson, Dr. C. Mc Gowan, J. R. Campbell, chairman of the board of county commissioners; B. G. Campbell, mayor of Plymouth; and H. H. McLean, superintendent of schools.
