ion to the people of Faison and Du
plin County. From 1913 up to the
present 1935 he has been promi
nent in political and local affairs.
"In 1924 he was a members of the
Duplin County Highway Commiss
ion. During this period -Highway
Route No. 40 was being constructed
from Goldsboro to Wilmington.
Some local opposition was develop
ed to the road passing through this
town. Some few desired the road
carried two miles east of the town.
"At the time of the disagreement

Mayor Martin was a members of
the Road Commission and, through
his efforts, the route was finally
secured through the town as it runs
at present. The argument proved
to be a heated fight but Mayor Mar
tin took the matter to the Supreme
Court and won out. '
; '.'He fought bitterly for electric
lights and today the town is recei
ving power . from the Tidewater
Power Company.
' ' There was a need for a City Hall
and he secured that, also a two-cell
jail. The railroad left on the siding
a carload of graver emptied on the
side of the road. Mayor Martin was
given this material and, with na
tive sand and a good mixing ma
chine, he gave the town of Faison
paved sidewalks without taxation.
He was a man of foresight, energy.
initiative and judgment along with
his abiding interest in . his home
town. He was greatly instrumental
in getting waterworks , installed
along with other interested men
and women.
Perhaps his greatest achievement
was, with the cooperation-of Mr.
McD. Williams (who ran the Bank
of Faison for 27 years), in organi
zing and managing the Faison Pro
duce Auction Market which was
the first market of its kind in North
Carolina. This market was started
in 1929. Formerly all produce was
sold in the Streets without, any
auctioneering at all. During the
first year of the Auction Market
Faison shipped 40 cars of cucumb
ers. Today we claim the biggest cu
cumber market in the United
States. . '. .
Mr. Martin was a friend to his
feliowmen. The colored people said,
"We go to him with our troubles
and he never fails to give us good
advice." He was a generous neigh
bor, always ready to lend a helping
hand and 'share his blessings with
his feliowmen. Those of us who
know the past, we gladly call him
a benefactor to the Town of Faison.
