"One of the most acute needs of L county is a better system of rming." J. F. Hunter of Areola t Kid the Kiwanis club at their reg-1e Bar meeting last Friday evening at c motel Warren. Mr. Hunter, who Kth Clarence Skillman, were guests I | the civic body, strongly favored ^ I COunty agent as the way out. He ^ |l am glad of this opportunity of jt living jou some of my ideas about! Be county agent interests. One of I a Be most acute needs of our county I | a better system of farming. Our 11 resent system, or lack of system, L oes not give us enough income to I n liable us to live as we should toL Bomote health and contentment. Ip |ln order to adopt a new system L |e must have some one who knows I y | has the abiiity to find out how ^ ft get out of the old ruts without j t Bidding into the ditch. Take poul- j Braising: we must combat disease, Brmin and ignorance of modern L Bethods of handling. In dairying!,. B must know how to grow more J Bd better feeds and make better! Bstures and how to handle the Ic< Battle and dairy products to best Ia |dvantage. I C | These problems all call for expert j Bowledge anc. very few of us have I Bis knowledge. This is where the a ounty agent comes in. He has been I ? Bained to meet these conditions! if hp doesn't know the answer J 2 5 our problems he knows how to f< ind the answer. Our different soils P' eed different fertilizers and dif- p erent crops. The county agent can f< scertain the needs of the soils ex- a mined. Then, production is only half of C1 he battle. Marketing profitably is yi qually important. The county agent t( rganizes and promotes proper a lethods of marketing. The co.oprative marking of poultry has h eached enormous proportions and s increasing amazingly with much p irofit to the producers. Co-opeative marketing of hogs in ** astern North Carolina is growing w ty leaps and bounds. The boys' and b iris' 4-H club work is fostered by d he county agents. Last year there y rere 23,704 boys and girls enrolled a n these various clubs in North Car- ii ilina. How many did Warren g ounty have? We have no county Sent so we have no boys' and girls' n luhs. These clubs are doing a ^ ronderful amount of good in train- ^ ng our boys and girls. Then there d s still another side to it. Where here is no county agent the State's txpert extension workers do not go. C We therefore lose all the help we *'ould get from them. n? --- . . . ? ii ncie is cne case in point. me " forestry department is offering to Blub members free tree seedlings r or reforestation. Look at our fire , wept and denuded cut over lands which are growing nothing but room sedge and sassafras sprouts. Think of the magnificent forests which clothed these lands a few ? years ago. They should be pro. tected from fire and planted either a to pines or pasture plants. Mr. R. 8 W. Graeber, extension forester, is doing a splendid work in demonstrating the possibilities of properly s handled forests. But he has to pass P by Warren county, just as do the soils experts, swine extension work ers etc. Give us a county agent and 1^ will open the doors to opportu- * hities with out number. You are advocating the purchase ?f purebred cattle. Very good. We ? need them. And I heartily endorse * he movem ent. But I want to sound a *arning note right here. You are starting at the wrong point. In order 8 j? tuake better cows pay we must s TVe better pastures and more feed. |rArow then first.

"The former Chief Justice is not o well as yesterday," the attending hysicians reported today through he White House. "He is gradually growing weaker," he bulletin continued. "He suffers 10 pain, but his condition is worse han at any time." For several days now the 73-yearld man has been unable to leave lis bed, although for a time the loctors had allowed him to spend irief intervals sitting up. He is yet ible to take nourishment, but in mailer quantities than last week, punpp his resignation as Chief Justice early this month, his blood irculation system has been more eriously Impaired. As a result, unisually heavy burdens have been mposed on his heart, which for sevral years has required the most areful nursing, with precautions gainst demands upon it by exercise. lIso, he has lost considerable weight ince his return from Asheville, MRS FITTS DIES Mrs George Fitts. of Durham, ddow of former Sheriff Fitts of Varren county, was buried at Fairlew cemetery on Thursday aftertoon at 4 o'clock.

W. Chase, it was learned yesterday. W. Lunsford Long of Roanoke Rapids, a trustee who has been on the board for a number of years, stated here that he favors such a course and is understood to have support from other trustees. Mr. Long is understood to favor the election of Dr. R. D. W. Connor, professor of history, who was a oorirmc contender when Dr. Chase WV4?VMW was elected 11 years ago. At that time Dr. Connor was secretary of the State Historical Commission and a trustee of the State University, and was declared disqualified for the latter reason under a ruling of the Attorney General. If the election is held next Thursday, such a course would be expected to favor the selection of a number of the present faculty. Several faculty members have been prominently mentioned but there has been more activity in behalf of Dr. Connor and Prank Graham than any others, according to reports reaching Raleigh. When President Edward Kidder Graham died in October, 1918, a committee was appointed to investigate the qualifications of all proposed candidates and report their findings without nominations. The election of Dr. Chase did not occur until the following June and it had been assumed in some quarters that there would be similar investigation and delay this year with the scope of the inquiry probably occupying a wide sphere. Governor O. Max Gardner, chair " - * a man ex-officio 01 tne Doaru, viancu Chapel Hill yesterday, but declined upon his return to comment on his mission. However, the presence of the Governor in Chapel Hill at this particular time was considered significant. John S. No well Dies At Home In Macon Funeral services for John S. Nowell, cashier of the Bank of Macon, were held from the Macon Baptist church at 3:30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon by the Rev. R. E. Brickhouse and the Rev. J. A. Martin.

Drake, Ma con Thornton, Marvin Drake, Joseph Ward. Jpseph Nowell and George Rhodes. Mr. Nowell was about 60 years old. Born in Perquimuans county he spent his entire life in that community. He was a member of Johnson Caswell Masonic lodge at Warrenton and had maany friends in the county.

I Defers Purchase Of Prison Farn RALEIGH, Feb. 27.?Althoilg] the directors of the State Prisoi are understood to have been fav orably disposed toward immediat use of the $400,000 bond issue auth orization of the 1927 General As sembly for a new prison farm, al members of that board as well as al members of the Council of Stat and all members of the Advisor; Budget Commission yesterday ap proved the recommendation o Governor O. Max Gardner that th matter be deferred until after th 1931 General Assembly. TThder the Governor's nlan i commission will be appointed fron the three boards which met her yesterday to serve with three citi zens from the State at large ii recommending a general plan fo the whole prison problem, includ ing a study of the advisability o replacing the present State Prisor which was built immediately afte the Civil War and is considered an tiquated and inadequate. May Improve Cotton By Community Actioi A plan for the improvement o cotton by communities and countie has been agreed upon by a com mittee representing the North Car olina Experiment Station, the exten sion service, cotton association, cro] improvement association and voca tional teachers and is now beini widely distributed throughout th State. The plan briefly calls first for th use of those varieties which hav been tested and found adapted t North Carolina by the experimen station, followed by the adoption o a certain variety for a communit; and the breeding of this cottoi through careful selection and car of the seed. The committee suggests tha county agents, vocational teacher.' and representatives of other inter ested organizations meet with th good farmers of a community an< decide upon one or two varieties fo the community or county. Whe: varieties are agreed upon, one o more farmers who have a reputa tion for care and integrity shouli be chosen to produce planting seei for the community. Those who hav large areas to cotton and. grivat gins should be given preference: am the start should be made with re liable seed from a well-knowi breeder. It is hoped eventually to develo; one or more local cotton breeder in each community who will receiv a premium for the planting seei produced. In any case, the seed in tended for planting should be wel looked after at the gin so ths,t n mixing is done. The seed should als i be recleaned after ginning. The committee recommends tha the seed cotton from which plant ing seed is to be obtained, be pick ed and stored, for at least 30 day CHARLEY HORSE PUTS JACB: SCOTT ON SHELl SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 27.Jack Scott, veteran pitcher, an Frank McCullough, rookie infieldei were casualties in the New Yor] Giants' camp today.

A crestfallen jury which had sat through three days of State's evidence and entertained some hope of returning its verdict by Saturday night, heard what amounted to a sentence on itself when Judge J. H. Clement announced that in lieu of ordering a mistrial he would continue the case until Monday. Two physicians who examined the stricken defendant, O. H. Lunsford, Loray mill special officer, reported to the court tliat Lunsford was running high temperature and pulse and that he could remain in the courtroom only in serious jeopardy of his health. The medical men expressed the opinion that he might be able to return Monday, Aderholt Parallel Thus the trial of five alleged members of an anti-Communist mob charged with murdering and conspiring to murder Ella May - Wiggins in one of the last tragic episodes of the Gaston county textile strike disturbances last year, developed another paralel to the I famed Aderholt case. The Aderholt case was tried in u the same courtroom, like the Wiggins case, under change of venue a from Gaston on the grounds that " a fair trial could not be had so 0 near the scene of the tragedy. The - Aderholt case had rocked along - through tediC'US days of selecting a H jury and voluminous evidence when II suddenly a juror went violently ine sane, Judge Barnhill was forced to V nrrfpr a mistrial a nrl tVia nitirvlo ? v**v n**w*v, - business had to be started over * again, 6 With half the case completed, e Judge Clement did not feel Justified in ordering a mistrial despite the a hardship entailed on the jurors, a While Lunsford goes home to bed e with the mumps, and the other four - defendants: Horace Wheelus, Troy a Jones, Lowry Davis, and Fred Morr row, are free under bond to go - where they will, the jury must ref main isolated from the world under i, the watchful eye of Deputy Sheriff r Avery Johnson, whose duty it is to - keep them from talking about, reading about, or having contact with any outsider even remotely interested in the case, escorting them out for three meals a day and see1 ing that they are locked up at night in special hotel quarters, f Pay of jurors in Mecklenburg s county is $4 a day and food and - lodging. The delay possibly proved - welcome to two members, who ad mitted during examinations that p they were unemployed. But the de lay certainly will not prove popug lar in Gaston county, which has to e foot the bill, and which did considerable fuming over the account e rendered in the Adsrholt case, e I Williams Says Pay f Now And Save y a Pay your taxes now and save e the penalty 1'or delay, Sheriff O. D. Williams said this week. "Again t may you allow me to call your ats, tcntion that unless your taxes are - paid by March 1. the law compells e rr,e to collect a 2 per cent penalty. ^ and to those' who have been waitr ing until May there will be a 4 per a cent penalty. Let's all pay now r and save the penalty." J FORMER WISE BOY MADE I GENERAL SALES MANAGER g The friends of Mr. Nat Hayes, , formerly of Wise, will be pleased to learn that at a recent stockholders meeting of the Carolina Steel & II Iron Co. of Greensboro, he was promoted to General Sales Manager of p that concern, and will assume his s new nosition March 1st. e For two years Mr. Hayes has had ^ charge of the sales office at Win ston-Salem. He and Mrs. Hayes, 11 after a business and pleasure trip 0 to New York last week, are now 0 making their home in Greensboro. t PERSONAL MENTION Miss Mary Frances Rodwell, who - is going to school at Duke Univer- j s sity, spent the week end at home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rodwell. F Miss Alice Littlepaige Burwell was - at home with a Duke University d classmate the past week end. r, Mr. Armisl,ead Boyd and a friend k of Carolina spent the week end at a home. s Mr. Barker Williams of Carolina spent the past week end here. tb H' cj Bill To Make :al Changes In Service Men's Act WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.?Hie 1924 World War Veterans Act would be radically amended and $100,000,000 more would be devoted every year to veterans' compensation 1 under the Johnson bill approved today by the House veterans committee. The measure combines recommendations of the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Veterans Bureau. It would deny the Comptroller General power to reverse a decision of the director of ' the Veterans Bureau and would 1 provide that proper consideration ' be given "to lay evidence and other ' evidence not of a medical nature" in adjudicating veterans' cases. A section considered of prime im- 1 portance provides that every man's disability which existed to 10 per ' cent degree prior to January 1, 1925, 1 should be presumed to be acquired in service. This would affect approximately 84,000 cases, at a cost of $76,000,000 to the government. For persons suffering the loss of 1 a foot or hand, the bill would pro- ] vide $25 a month additional com- i pensation, a clause which would ] cause a $1,500,000 expenditure the i first year of its operation. , Veterans' insurance policies would , be made incontestible. Mrs. Bost Names As Welfare Head RALEIGH, Feb. 27.?Mrs. W. T. Bost, executive secretary of the 1 North Carolina Federation of 1 Women's Clubs, will succeed Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson as Commissioner of Public Welfare on April 1, the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare announced yesterday. Mrs. Bost's name was agreed nnnn of o mootincr nf fKn Knorrl in w^w** hv (v itlvvuuig vi viiv uuu1u aaa Greensboro Monday, when Mrs. Johnson formally tendered her resignation, but no announcement of her successor was made until Col. W. A. Blair of Winston Salem, chairman of the board, presented Mrs. Bost's name to Governor Gardner yesterday and received his hearty approval. Mrs. Johnson on April 1 became superintendent of the State Home for Girls at Trenton, N. J., where she will supervise a Statewide program on clasiflcation work among women prisoners, a new venture in penology. Mrs. Bost will be North Caror lina's second woman commissioner, this State having chosen the first woman head of a State welfare program in the entire country when the board elected Mrs. Johnsen in 1926. Members of the welfare board, the staff of workers and others greeted the announce- ( ment of Mrs. Bost's election with | favorable comment. Her salary ( will be $3,600 a year. The new commissioner is the ] wife of a well-known newspaper man, capital correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News. Her ac- | a1av>/? n trftHlflflT linoc Livii/ies euuug <x vancujr V/J. miw < have made her one of the bestknown women in the State, especially among the women themselves. POWELL FINDS EVIDENCE OF WHISKEY MAKING "I found a well, scraps of copper and evidences of whiskey making on my place last Friday," T. E, Powell, tax lister for Warrenton township .reported to Sheriff O. D. Williams last week. Mr. Powell said that he had not been on the property in over a year?a tract lying near the Seaboard between Warren Plains and Macon. "I heard reports of whiskey activity over there and I went out to investigate?I didn't see any one," he said. He found evidence aplenty of bootleg activity but it did not include either booze or mash . SHARKEY STOPS SCOTT IN THIRD ROUND OF FIGHT . MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ARENA, Miami, Fla., Feb. 27.? Amidst scenes of terrific confusion, such as have not attended a heavyweight bout in some years, Jack Sharkey of Boston was declared winner by a technical knockout over Phil Scott of England in the third round of the winter heavyweight carnival before 24,000 people here tonight. The end came after two minutes and 34 seconds of the third round, which does not include a lot of time spent in frantic arguing during which the action was suspended. ' ;M A ______ MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 9 W. BR0D1E JONES IS LAID TO REST ;^Si Funeral Services For Editor Of The Warren Record Held Thursday END CAME WEDNESDAY Funeral services for W. Brodie Jones, editor of The Warren Record, and business manager of The Press Publishing Co., were held from the home of his parents "here yesterday afternoon by the Rev. J. A.. Martin, pastor of the Methodist cr.urcn, assisted oy ur. i. j. uidds, and the Rev. B. N. de Foe-Wagner af the Episcopal church. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery. Mr. Jones ended his own life in his room at V/arrenton at 3:40 a'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Worry over the condition of his health is given as the reason for the act. Mr. Jones had been riding with a friend and told him that he wanted to wash his hands, saying that he thought it would make him feel better. Entering the home he walked into the bedroom and shot himself in the head with a revolver. Death was instantaneous. Coroner E. Hunter Pinnell was called but deemed an inquest unnecessary. Had Nervous Breakdown Mr. Jones became despondent following a nervous breakdown, but his family and friends believed it to be only temporary and advised him to take it easy for a few days until he felt more like himself. Brodie Jones was born in Wilson on March 5, 1898, the son of Howard F. Jones and Estelle Brodie Jones. He came to Warrenton with his family in 1907 and had lived here since that time. He attended school at the John Graham high school, the University of ? North Carolina and Columbia University. He learned the printing trade in his father's office as a boy and since his return from New York in 1921 had been editor of The Warren Record and business manager of The Press Publishing Company. Mr. Jones is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Howard F. Jones, Sr., one sister, Mrs Rives Taylor, of Oxford, and by three brothers, Bignall, Duke and Howard Jones, Jr., all of Warrenton. It was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held here. Mr. Jones, editor of The Warren Record, and business manager of The Press Publishing Co., and interested in several other papers in the section, was widely known, having been for ten years a popular member of the newspaper fraternity and active at meetings of the State Press Association and in local civic affairs. A large number of beautiful floral designs and numerdus messages of condolence told of the high esteem in which the young man was held and of the sympathy felt' for the stricken family.' The pallbearers were W. K. FaulIcener, W. T Polk, Alpheus Jones, E G Allen, Tom Gillan, Ed Gillam Hugh White and T. N. Ball. Live-At-Home Plan Widely Broadcast Incomplete reports from the home and farm agents of the agricultural extension service at State college indicate that these workers alone reached approximately 100,000 persons during the "live-at-home" week of February 10. Reports received from the farm agents by C. A. Sheffield, assistant director of extension, show that about 50,000 persons attended the various meetings held and addressed by these men and while there are fewer home agents, they did much of their work in the schools and at meetings of women's organizations where it is believed that another 50,000 persons were acquainted witn the principles of the "iive-at_home" movement. All of this is in addition to other work done by the school teachers and state and county organizations which took an active part in the program. Early last week, Mr. Sheffield had received reports from 39 counties showing that the farm agents had held 169 meetings at which there ' were 39,420 persons. When it is considered that there are 84 farm agents and two assistant agents at work in North Carolina, it is believed that the estimate of 50,000 persons reached is rather low or at least conservative. Not half of the agents had reported when these figures were secured. Some of the men and women re(Continued on page 8)
