COUNTY HAD GREAT MURDER 88 YEARS AGO 5Carawan’s Career Was One of Great Sen- ‘ops in Eastern North Carolina Nearly . 100 Years Ago Beautification of highways and residences throughout this section is the goal of the dozen committee members appointed in Washington, Tyrrell, Hyde and Dare Counties by Mrs. W. S. Carawan, of Colum bia, chairman of the beautification program of the Southern Albe marie Association. W. L. .Whitley, of Plymouth, president of the organization, who appointed Mrs. Carawan chairman of the beautification work, said that Mrs. Carawan had begun an ag gressive campaign in the four coun ties to beautify highways and the premises about private homes. The personnel of the committee is as follows: Washington County: Mrs. Sid ney Smithson, of Creswell; Mrs. W. V. Hays and Mrs. Frances M. Dar den, of Plymouth; Tyrrell County: Mrs. D. M. Sawyer, Miss Mary Blanche Strickland and Mrs. Millie Davenport; Dare County: Mrs. Maude White, Mrs. Hattie Midgett, and Miss Sadie Hendley; Hyde County: Mrs. Dan Berry, Mrs. Seth Gibbs and Miss Iberia Roach. Mrs. Carawan has urged the or ganization to offer a prize for the I The Rev. E. R. Stewart, Baptist ' minister in Hyde County for the past 20 years, will go to Bertie County about Januarv 1 to take charge of four churches in the Green Cross section near Windsor. The Green Cross churches have a total membership of 1,070, com pared with the 300 in his charge in , Hyde. I Mr. Stewart, a native of Cataw ba, N. C., came to Hyde County in ! 1922. There were 16 Missionary I Baptists in the county at that time. Since then he has . organized six I churches in the county, and today ! they have a total membership of ’ approximately 300. Mr. Stewart, a forceful minister and community leader, received his -4. B. degree at the Catawba Col lege in 1916; ,A. B. degree at Wake Forest College in 1917; and his Th. M. degree from Louisville (Ky.) Seminary in 1920. Shortly after completing his col lege education he married Miss I,eafy Mae Brown. They have five children, two girls and three boys. He has devoted his entire life to the ministry. Not only his work, but his hobby, is preaching.

Either in Person or by Agent, Complete List of Real and Personal Property and Polls Must Be Listed Tax listing will start again in North Carolina shortly after Jan uary 1, and is to be completed dur ing the month of January. All over the state, the county com missioners are appointing the tax listers, most of them having done this at their November meeting. All property is to be listed as of January 1, and the law requires a sworn statement of all real estate, all personal property, noils and in tangible property. This must be done either in person or by a duly represented agent. Announcement as to list-takers will be made soon in all counties, and places and dates where the list takers may be found will be adver tised. In some cases, absent land- o^ers will be permitted to send their listing by mail, after having sw’orn to it. Non-resident prop erty owners are urged to write in to blanks. ENGELHARD WOMEN MEET WEDNESDAY Miss Roach Talks on Use of Pe- cans in Diet An interesting demonstration on using pecans in the diet was given by Miss Iberia Roach, home agent, at the regular meeting of the En gelhard Home Demonstration Club Wednesday afternoon. Miss Roach gave the food value of pecans and demonstrated cookies and sandwich fillings. Mrs. B. C. Marshall gave manY helpful hints on the storing of fruits and vegetables for the win ter. Mrs. J. H. Jarvis made an interesting talk on the 1942 poultry goals for the State and how they are to be reached. Mrs. Marietta Schmitt gave fall fashion trends and many hat patterns were cut. Miss Janie Mann made an inspira tional talk on kitchen conveniences that she had recently installed. Mrs. S. S. Neal, president of the club, nresided over the meeting. The hostesses, Mrs. R. L. Gibbs and Mrs. Marietta Schmitt served ice cream and sandwiches. LOCAL WELFARE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO BLEND INTO THE NATIONAL SITUATION All of the Labor and All of the Distress Will Not Be Taken Care of in America by the Defense Project; T'roubles Seen For Small Businessmen This country is just beginning to encounter some oi tne biggest and most difficult problems that a mili- ca/y economy makes unavoidable. 'ihe arms program is getting in to stride. Our aircraft production is at the rate of about 25,000 planes a year. Production of tanks, ma chine guns, army trucks and other vital necessities, is increasing fast. The two-ocean navy will be com pleted far ahead of the original schedule. In the next two years, unless something unexpected oc curs to change the picture, we should become the foremost mili tary power on earth. This doesn’t mean that we are doing our theoretical utmost. We aren't. Labor troubles continue to mount and undermine production. Governmental red tape, delay and indecision still hamper industry. A few segments of industry have not been able to get away from the ‘business as usual” point of view. There is plenty of politics in the defense set-up, and there is too much divided responsibility which makes for passing of the buck and general disorder. Even so, the gi gantic American production ma chine is moving forward, and it is usccessfully making the immense change from a peace-time to a var-time economy. To some, this change means urofits and expanded opportunity. To others, the change means possi ble ruin. In that sorry categorv fall thousands of businesses which have not been given a place in the defense picture, and which are now unable to continue their normal, peace-time ways. These are the businesses which are caught by priorities. No one without a high priority rating can now obtain the basic metals. No one can build a home costing more than $6,000. There are shortages of paper, cloth, rubber, chemicals, leaning fluids—commodities which in normal periods are excessivelv abundant. And legions of busi nesses, emnloying millions of peo ple, depend on such commodities as these for their very life. Pessimists believe that this de fense program may mean the vir tual death of little business in this nation. That may be an excessive ly dark forecast. But the hard fact remains that no one has yet been able to formulate a program under [ which we may obtain maximum 'military production and at the same time preserve our business system more or less intact. ! Washington of course, has given attention to this small business problem. There has been an effort to farm out contracts, under a sub contracting system, so that small and middle-sized concerns may ob- I tain a fair share of the orders. So ' far, however, little progress has been made. The bulk of small businesses haven’t the equipment or the personnel which are needed. When you want a tremendous job done, you naturally turn to the great mass-production industries which are geared to make the larg est possible quantities of goods in the shortest possible period of time. The dollar-a-year men in the de fense bureaus are taken from big industries. And so small business finds it more and more difficult to obtain the supplies it must have. ' If this trend continues, it is ap- , parent that a revolutionary chinge ' will take place in the American 1 economy. Whether that change will be for the better or worse is ' a matter of argument. In 'he meantime, it is an ironical fact that hundreds of thousands of m.en are I being thrown oat of jobs during .a I time when there is a shortage of I suitable labor—and thousands of businesses are in danger of being , shut down during a time when con- I sninei demand ard consumer pur- jchas’rg power for all matin'*- of j cvirrn'iodities, is extremely high. I The figures, indr-ate that '•here |.?imp'y isn’t safficient supyly of (many basic materials ti meet the I war demand and the nornpal de- jmand at the same time. And the smaller enterprises of the country, i which aren’t able to produce the .tools of war. are taking the beat ing. 1 ' ■ I ' ■ !■
