n'oer of volumes in school libra;
in white schools. Craven county
: the largest number of books in

9.361. Cherokee has the
illest number in the State, 775.

This showing is better than
t made by city schools. The per

a city like Greensboro is only a
le greater than Warren, 4.7, while
average of the city schools falls
etween 1 and 2 per cent.

Warren Governors At

Three Warren county men who
have been governors of North Carolina
were discussed at the meet-j
ing erf the Warren comity historical!

rary on Tuesday nignt. Edward
Allen presided.
James Turner was discussed by
Dr. W. W. Taylor. William Hawkins
was the subject of Miss Amma
Graham. William Miller was discussed
by Miss Edna Allen.
A bit of tradition was verified
when Mrs. J. P. Scoggin exhibited
to the society the petition which
Warrenton citizens refused to sign
and allow the old Gaston railway
to come through Warrenton. Governor
Hawkins was president of the
railway company at that time. Mrs.
Scoggin is a granddaughter of the
former governor and in addition to
the petition, brought to the meeting
interesting letters of Governor
Hawkins and a picture of "Pleasant
Hill," his home, at that time in
Warnen county but now in Vance.
The old Turner home was destroyed
by fire but the home of the other
governor, William Miller, is still
standing near Vaughan and is now
owned by Joe Shearin.
A committee was appointed from
the Historical society to co-operate j

Ordinarily the Presbyterian ^

Sunday morning it had a sub- ^

were hurrying churchward like
the house was afire. That's ex- ]

fire siren succeeded. Unfortunately
there was no church
that morning. b
Members in thfe Presbyterian c

about 10 o'clock. The alarm was v

County May Receive $25,
^ Making Tax Rei
'HE AVERAGE MAINTENA
By BIGNALL JONES
The House of Representatives
ave passed a bill increasing the
ix on gasoline to five cents a gal>n
and setting aside an equalizaon
fund of $3,000,000 to aid the
aunties in their road work. From
tie record vote in the lower house
idications are that it will pass the
enate without any trouble.
According to figures carried in
ist Saturday's News and Observer,
/arren county will receive $25,744
:om ths eiqualization fund. What
oes this mean? It means for one
ling that the board of commisoners
may be able to cut the road
ix bill approximately 24 cents on
ie one hundred dollars valuation.
How this money will be aportioned
in the county has not
een determined, as under the
jwnship road plan twelve different
jwnships have as many different
ates. The money will very probably
e spent for maintenance, however.
Tax levied for maintaining the
ounty roads vary from 21 cents in
farrentcn township to 45 cents in
'ork and Hawtree township. The
verage rate is 36.25 cents on the
.undred dollars. This brings in
39,158.89. Deduct the $25,744 of
itate fund from this and the county
rtll have to raise only $13,418.89. A
ate of 12.41 cents on the hundred
ollars valuation should raise this
um. Thus the taxpayers will have
o pay 23.84 cents less on the hunred
dollars.
If such a distribution goes into
ffect next year the taxpayers in

d Equilization Fund; Warren
000 From T^is Amount,
duction Possible
NCE RATE IS 36.25 CENTS
each -township will pay approximately
24 cents less road tax. A
provision of the new bill is that
should any county increase its
present cost more than ten per cent
it shall not share in the equalizing
fund. A further reduction may be
possible on account of the State
taking over additional mileage. The
State is to take over 10 per cent
of the county roads this year, but
as some of the counties have not
yet received their ratio of Stateaided
roads, it is very probable that
few miles will be taken over in
Warren this year.
The maintenance and bond rates
in the twelve townships and the
amount of money raised for road
purposes follows:
River township, maintenance, 30c,
$3,546.60; bond, 14c, $1,764.98.

D. A. R. Gathers In
Home Mrs. Rodwell
By Publicity Chairman
Mrs. C. R. Rodwell was hostess at
the regular meeting of Warren
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution last Friday afternoon.
The annual State conference
to be held in 'Winston-Salem on
March 14-15 was discussed, and also
the national meeting which convenes
in Washington in April. Mrs.
W. B. Fleming was elected as delegate
from the chapter.
A letter was read from our State
chairman of historic spots stating
that the national chairman had
worked out a plan whereby a series
of pictures accompanied by short
sketches of the most significant historical
spots in the various states
will appear in the D. A. R. Magazine.
She asked that each capter
vote as to its choice of the many
places of historic import should have
this distinction. Quite a numher
were discussed and a motion was
made and adopted that this chapter
vote for the convention at Halifax,
April 12th, 1776. This being the first
official act of any colony looking
toward a Declaration of Independence.
An interesting program was arranged
by the hostess in celebration
of Washington's birthday.
Each guest was presented a booklet
containing a sketch of some noted
home connected with the life of
Washington and illustrated with pictures
of the home. These were read
and passed so all oould see. On the
last page of these was written Mrs.
Washington's famous ginger bread
recipe.
Refreshments served very attractively
carried out the George
Washington program.
Kidd Closes Beauty
Parlor At Warrenton
Kidd's Beauty Parlor, operated
next to the home of the movie
stars, has closed its doors and gone
to Rosemary. The Halifax News of
Rosemary-Roanoke Rapids says in
welcoming this business to that
town:
"The Vogue Beauty Shoppe, owned
by Mrs. W. W. Kidd of Warrenton,
nee Miss Ruby Matthews 01 Rosemary,
and operated by Mrs. Coulter,
a graduate of several schools of
beauty culture ana an expert, upciator
in all branches of beauty culture,
will be open to the public Saturday
on the second balcony of the
B. Marks Department store.
"The shoppe itself will be a thing
of taste and discrimination. Decorated
in a color scheme of rose
and gray, it furnishes on attractive
surrounding for the practice of
beauty vulture. The shoppe will co?tain
four booths, is equipped with
two reclining chairs, two HalliwellShelton
electric dryers, a Eugene
Fr ederick and Frigidine permanent
waving machine. An expert barber of
ladies' and children's hair will also
be employed by the shoppe.
"Comfort for the clientlle of the
shoppe will be taken care of by rest
room that is well equipped."

Senator Simmons
Goes On Ballot All i
By His Lonesome
RALEIGH, Feb. 14.?After adopt- .
ing an amendment to insure that
no State officers would have to run
on the same ticket with Senator
Simmons in the next election the ]
Senate of North Carolina General
Assembly without a record vote
Thursday passed the Australian 1
Ballot bill on its third reading and
sent the bill to the House.
Senator Simmons fought A1
Smith in the election and as a result
it is feared that a bitter fight
is against him on the part of the
regular Democrats will result if he
offers for election again. Naturally
father candidates did not want to
be on the same ticket witn him
when the scratching started.
Two hours were spent Thursday a
in debating new amendments to the s
bill before it passed. Probably the e
most significant and far-reaching
amendment offered and accepted 1
was the one offered Thursday by c
Senator Whedbee of Perquimans to ^
provide for seven ballots instead of ?
five. i:
This means that if the House
concurs in action 01 the Senate, f
which passed the Whedbee amendment
by a vote of 31 to 19, Sena- ^
tor P. M. Simmons, who comes up <
for election November of next year, p
must go on a ballot by himself. The t
Whedbee amendment provides that ^
candidates lor Congress and for the ^
United States Senate shall go on
separate ballots.

voted unfavorably yesterday on the j
Spence bill which provides for the r
teaching in public schools for the (
effects of alcohol and narcotics on t
the human system. I
Though Governor Gardner had s
recommended such legislation in his t
inaugural address the members of
the committee thought that the law
would cause additional expense for
