Wi WARRENTON, COUNTY O Expresses Hope That Board Will Daoaim/1 A i\couiiu rvvuuii By CHARLOTTE "S. PERKINSON It is to be regretted that the board of county commissioners in session Monday voted after considerable discussion to discontinuethe services of a county nurse for Warren. It seems especially to be regretted that this action came after the action of the State legislature had made it possible for the State to supplement founds appropriated by the counties to make up for the amounts cut off by the discontinuance of a federal appropriation under the ShepardTowner act. Those present at the meeting of the Board feel that probably the determining factor in the Board's action was a remark made bv Dr. C. N. Sisk of the State Board of Health in charge of county health work. Dr. Sisk made the remarks that infancy and maternity work in the State had proved a failure. What he probably meant was that a broader program of public health work, which included school work and supervision of contagious diseases, added to infancy and maternity work had proven a more satisfactory program in the State as a whole, and that now the work of the nurse did not have to be limited as it was when participating in the appropriation of the Federal government. His remark had the effect which some of our commissioners had wanted to feel for some time that infancy and maternity work in this county had Kaav* ft ^ftilni.,\ riM/1 +V*ftf fViGTr uccxx a xaiiuiL axxu. vxxcxu i/xi^j nuu been wasting money. That such Is not the case is a well known fact among our physicians, our midwives, and the larger proportion of our women. As I have said before it is a situation here in which the word of the doctors and of the women who know should be given first consideration instead of the opinion of certain men who cannot ih the nature of the case know. It is very probable that in no county of the State has the infancy and maternity program been so well developed and so well received. While it may be a very good idea now to increase the scope of the work, to say that saving the lives of mothers and babies and supervising the work of midwives, who as a matter of fact should not be allowed to practice at all, is not the most important phase of public health nursing is a mistake. One must begin at the source of life to save it, that is so much depends in after life on what sort of a grade a baby is able to make in its first year of existence, whether or not he is even allowed to survive. It is to be hoped that our county commissioners may see fit to reconsider their action and that Dr. Sisk will see fit to correct the im pression he has made. Otherwise I feel that it is up to the State to furnish us money enough to support a nurse entirely, since it seems that Dr. Sisk was the principal factor in causing us to lose what for so many years we have struggled to keep, not for any other purpose on earth but in the interest of humanity and of those unable to speak for themselves. Mrs. Lancaster, 70, Dies Home of Niece Funeral services for Mrs. Susanna Lancaster, 70, were held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Areola Methodist church by the Rev. S. E. Wright.

Welfare Board Asks Aid For County Sick The Welfare board of Warren county is appealing for financial aid that destitute citizens may have needed hospital treatment. The appeal comes through Miss Leach, welfare officer, who asks that citizens remember the poor at their very door before sending all their money to foreign shores to aid people of other countries. The welfare officer pointed out cases needed immediate attention, a white girl, suffering with tuberculosis; three white women, a white boy; three colored women, a colored girl and a colored man. Some of these cases are already receiving hospital treatment, Miss Leach said, and others are to be admitted soon. These are interesting, pathetic and deserving cases, she continued. She expressed the hope that finanacial assistance would be given and expressed a willingness to give further particulars to those interested. PERSONAL MENTION Mr and Mrs. R. M.

They were charged with manufacturing whiskey and possesing whiskey for the purpose of sale. The former charge was dropped on account of insufficient evidence, it is said, and the two men were tried and convicted on the latter count. These two cases were sent up by Magistrate T. C. Alston of Littleton after their attorneys had waived a hearing and resisted an attempt to transfer the cases to Federal court in a rather warm trial in Littleton last Wednesday morning. Their bond, at first set at $2,500, was later reduced to $500, which the negroes were unable to give. Forty-odd dollars cost in the case was deemed excessive and ordered reduced $15 by the juage presiding. Five other cases were heard by Judge Rodwell in the Monday morning session. Three of these were for violation of whiskey laws and two for reckless driving of an auto-1 mobile. Clement Jones was fined $10 and costs on a charge of reckless driving of an automobile. Facing the judge on a similar count, Willie Johnston was fined the costs and ordered to pay $15 for damage resulting to a wagon into which he crashed. G. G. Brickell was found not guilty of driving an automobile while under the influence of whiskey. Harvey Johnson was fined $10 and cost for possessing whiskey.

Judgment was suspended upon payment of cost and condition that he remain of good behavior.

Industry Enters May With Little Signs Of Let-Up NEW YORK, May 5. ? Apparently having set several new records in large scale production during April, industry has entered May with practically no signs of a let-up in activity. The sustained high rate of operations in the steel industry was particularly noteworthy. Mills were still operating at practical capacity, and incoming business was reported as adequate to assure heavy operations until at least well into June. The rate of pig iron production in April has been exceeded only by May and June of 1923. Steel and automobile production, according to early calculations, may have exceeded the records set in March. United States Steel reported peace-time earnings for the first quarter amounting to $5.04 per share, more than 70 per cent of the dividend requirement of $7 for the entire year. The tremendous output of steel indicated for the first half caused some apprehensions as to the probable course during the second half. Although Iron Age stated that indications were for a less than normal seasonal decline, it was point* i- ?tiorfnrc fhot. fihfl.ro ea OUl IU BUIX1C quain>u v.?vw? ? r declines have usually, followed periods of heavy productions in the past. Continued firmness of credit still caused uneasiness in banking circles. The atonal City Bank of ew cles. The National City Bank of Ney York stated in its May 1 review that "unless some way is soon found whereby the existing credit situation can be cured and rates restored to normal levels, it is difficult to see how a check to business can long be postponed." Building operations, usually the most sensitive to tight money, showed some recovery from the sharp drop as indicated for two weeks ago by F. W. Dodge's weekly compilation of contracts let in the states east of the Rockies, out were still well below last year at this time. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT . Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Skillman of Warrenton have announced the engagement of their daughter, Florence Martha, to Mr. James Monroe Thomas of Asheville. The wedding will take place in June. BANKS TO CLOSE HENDERSON, May 9.?Friday, May 10, Confederate Memorial Day, being a legal holiday, the banks of Henderson will not open for business, it was learned here today. MOST OF THE NEWS jj ALL THE TIME NUMBER 19 NEGRO WILL FACE TRIAL MAY TERM ? Macon, Who Shot Sam And Rob Pinnell, Now In State Prison At Raleigh ROB PINNELL IMPROVES John "Buddy" Macon, negro murderer who fatally shot Sam Pinnell and wounded Deputy Sheriff Robert Pinnell at the home of "Baldy" Mitchell near Afton last Friday morning when the officers were seeking to arrest him for Franklin county authorities, will be brought to Warren county for trial at the May term, an official who had conferred with Sheriff Justice of Franklin county said yesterday. In the meantime, the condition of Deputy Sheriff Robert Pinnell continues to improve at the Henderson hospital. The shooting occurred early Friday morning. Deputy Robert Pinnell, receiving word that a negro wanted in Franklin county was at the home of Mitchell, deputized Walter Mustian and his brothers, Sam and E. Hunter Pinnell to help him make the arrest. Hunter Pinnell and Walter Mustian went to the home and Bessie Mitchell came to the door. She denied that Macon was there. Sam Pinnell and Robert Pinnell had gone to the rear of the house. While the officers were insisting that Macon was within, he broke from the back door, firing as he came upon Sam and Robert Pinnell. Bullets from his gun brought Sam Pinnell down and another pierced the stomach of Robert Pinnell. Mustian and Hunter Pinnell raced around the house, and a bullet into the arm of Macon, fired by Hunter Pinnell, cut short another shot toward his brothers. Walter Mustian shot the negro as did Sam Pinnell who was lying on the ground at the time. He was captured and carried with the deputy sheriffs to Henderson for hospital treatment. From there Macon was taken to Louisburg and is now at Raleigh. The Mitchell woman was brought here for trial and lodged in jail under $500 bond which lias been given. ????????? Music Pupils Are To Face Microphone Several pupils of Mrs. John Barwell will be selected next Tuesday evening following a musical concert at the high school to broadcast over the radio from Raleigh. A judge has been appointed to select those showing the most talent, and they will go to Raleigh for their program next xnursaay aiternoon. Those selected will be on the air from 6 to 6:30 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend the recital here, and it is certain that many will listen-in when Warrenton musicians play their talent into the mike on May 16th. Local Team Defeated By Roanoke Rapids Roanoke Rapids walked away with the heavy side of an 8-3 count there last Saturday evening in a game with B company. The local boys hit hard, but they seemed to slam them right where a Rapids player was every time. Jack Loyd pitched seven innings of the game a ?Tfomnn T .mrH ana was iciicvcu uy All of B's runs came in the 8th frame. The Rapids scored four in the first. The local men play Middleburg here tomorrow at 4 o'clock. School Men Hold Meeting On Monday School committeemen of Warren county met here Monday with Supt. J. Edward Allen for discussion of the new school law. Warren county, it seems, is to lose a number of teachers under the new act unless their salaries are met by local taxation. Further consolidation of schools is contemplated under the State bill, provided it meets with approval of the counties. Officials in school administration want to know the attitude of the public toward the new bill, and the issues involved will be reviewed extensively in the next edition of The Warren Record. Mesdames W. D. Rodgers Jr., E. E. Gillam, C. R. Rodwell and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Tucker were visitors to Virginia gardens and Williamsburg this week. Messrs. John Taylor and Joe Pip| pin of Littleton were visitors here this week. / "
