Arrington Finds New Way To Use Cotton J. W. Arrington Sr., prominent textile man of Greenville, S. C., and son of Mrs. H. B. Arrington of Warrenton, has discovered a new use for cotton. Mr. Arrington has developed a business stationery from cotton cloth. "Clotex" is the name for the new stationery. Printers in Greenville in advtising the product say that the cost is no more than for a high grade, rag content, bond paper, and that it is also suitable for billheads, Invoices, and other printing. They aie asking business firms to help textile conditions by opening up new avenues for the use of cotton cloth. A sample of the paper was given The Warren Record this week by W. G. Rogers, warehouseman of Warrenton and brother-in-law of Mr. Arrington. The new product is a paper-like cloth, light and thin and of remarkable strength. A letter written upon it shows up well. Canadian Justice Is The Real Thing Early on the 18th of the present month a taxi man and a truck driver of Toronto, Canada, stole an automobile and raided a branch of the Royal Bank at Hamilton, Ontario. They secured $3,000 in currency and made a temporary get-away in their stolen car. They had gone but a short distance, however, before they were apprehended, and the money was recovered. All this happened on the 18th of August. On the 19th of the same month the pair were brought to jail, acknowledged their guilt ana were at once sentenced. On the robbery charge, according to an Associated Press dispatch, they received sentences of six years in prison and thirty lashes apiece. For the theft of the car they were given two years in prison each. And the whole episode was conclude# witK!n~24 hours. All this happened in Canada, which does not rejoice in the beauties and happiness of prohibition. Now suppose a similar occurence had taken place in the United States?it makes little difference in what part. And suppose the robbers had been apprehended either at once or later. In the later event they would have been incarcerated pending a preliminary hearing, and there would have been no unseemly haste in connection with the holding of it. Meanwhile the prisoners would continue to eat at the cost of the public. Presuming that the preliminary hearing developed reason for holding the accused for trial, they would be duly committed with that end in view and returned to prison to await eventualities. After any period from one to several months, during which the pair would continue to he the guests of the taxpayers, the authorities in charge would begin to consider the fixing of a date for their trial. In the course of time this, too, would be done, the prisoners all the while continuing to enjoy the hospitality of the community. As all things come to him who waits, the date fixed for the trial would arrive at last. But would the trial begin and be speeded to its completion? Not if the accused were able to raise any money or put up any sort of fight. In that event, by no means uncommon, a dozen different reasons would speedily develop for the postponement of the case, with the chances largely in favor of some one oi them being deemed sufficient and valid. Then would ensue another period of board and lodging at the ?uiu far?to rnn puoiic expense, wuuc Vi?V *MV?w ? ^? nected with the crime charged grew dim in the mists of time. Finally when a trial really took place, for cases do finally come tc trial in these United States, th? cost to the taxpayers would be many, many times larger than il should, the chances of the criminals going unwhipt of justice largely increased and the feelinf that the law is feeble and inefficient, more extensive and apparently, more justifiable. This picture of the contrast between our justice and that of oui neighbor may be overdrawn, bui there surely is sufficient different in our disfavor to call for earnesi thought.?Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch DAUGHTER BORN Born to Mr. and Mrs. Howarc Odom of Vaughan on Wednesday August 20, a daughter. hp W< WARRENTON, COUN' I LUCKY l l ?

Farmer Builds Hen House With Bags CHARLOTTE, Aug. 20.?By using materials that most farmers and poultrymen would throw away, w. F. Spangler, of Charlotte, has built a house for 1,000 laying hens at a cost of less than $30. The plan is simple. Spangler saves the cotton bags in which he receives chicken feed, cuts pine poles from his own woodlot for the frame 1 work and stretches the bags over the poles. Three coats of tar and lime are applied to the cloth and the house is water and weather proof. This method has enabled Spangler to build up his profits on each hen an average of $2 annually per bird. ' He says the cloth house is practical for use in any part of the United States. I , . Elberon Farmer Shoots Self In Hand ' T. L. Short, Elberon farmer, is recovering from the effects of a [ wound in his left hand, sustained when a revolver he was holding was | accidentally discharged late Suncay afternoon. Mr. Short was on 1 the porch with members of his fam' ily at the time of the accident. He ' was brought to Warrenton and the ball removed from his hand by Dr Frank P. Hunter. i . \ HOPE OF FUTURE 5 "Can you spare space for this one paragraph from the president ' of the International Christian Enf deavor in an address at a recent ' convention at Berlin as quoted in ' the Presbyterian Standard?" writes F. A. Skillman of Warrenton. The . paragraph: "The world has heard a great t deal about 'Flaming Youth's' de linguency," said Dr. Poling, "but t not enough about the millions with flaming zeal for Chrish and for old and new standards fashioned after His Ideals. These last make 1 less noise and do not so often get , the headlines, but they are the hope of the future." - SL irrett rY OF WARREN, N.

Payne Found In Hfe Home In a Semi-Conscious State Late Yesterday ASSAILANT IS UNKNOWN Mystery shrouds the assault and robbery of T. S. Payne, Norlina representative of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who was found at his home yesterday afternoon in a semi-conscious state. Mr. Payne, who has been keeping < batchelor quarters for the past two : weeks while his wife visited in Hyde county, was found by neighbors yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock in a coma. Claiming that she had a preminition that something was ( wrong at the household of her neighbor, Mrs. C. E. Snipes sent her children over to see if Mr. Payne was all right.

Metcalf Tells How Poison Army Worm Heavy grass in the garden or field crop is ideal feeding place for the fall army worm but almost any growing crop will be attacked and destroyed by this pest. "Ordinarily the fall army worm is controlled by the natural enemies but these enemies have not developed this year and indications are that the pest will be very destructive," says Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, "While the worm feeds principaly on grass it will attack all of the common garden and truck crops tobacco, corn, clover, alfalfa, cowpeas, and soybeans. It is apt to be very destructive to soybeans and cowpeas at this season of the year as those crops are full of grass and furnish an attractive place for the insect to develop." According to Dr, Metcalf, the pest may be controlled by using either powdered arsenate of lead or a poison bait. The arsenate of lead is used in the pure state if a good dusting ' machine is available or mixed at the rate of one pound of lead to four pounds of hydrated lime if used without the dusting machine. The amount to use with the different crops will vary but an application should be made sufficient to cover all leaves with a thin film of the poison. The application should be made at night when there is moisture on the plants. The poison bait can be made by mixing 25 pounds of bran and one pound of white arsenate or paris green. rb TTn.? **** Bright Willing To Aid Farmers Buy Low Price Cattle Calling attention to the lower price of cattle in the drought areas and the opportunity of those farmers of Warren who had sufficient food and pastures to buy at , sacrifice prices, R. H. Bright, teacher of vocational agriculture in the John Graham High school, offers to aid any interested farmer in the purchase of these cattle. "Feeder cattle are selling for three { cents a pound in the western part Df the State, Mr. Bright said. "Here is an opportunity to market your ' rougage profitably. 1 "A few farmers are considering 1 going to the mountains and pur- 1 chasing a carload of cattle to feed ; out this Winter. These cattle can be ] marketed next Spring at a profit f of around three to four cents per 1 pound above the initial cost plus the gain made over the Winter. "Before you purchase be sure you | have a good pasture plus roughage to feed the cattle on," Mr. Bright 1 cautions. "I will be glad to assist anyone desiring to purchase cattle in any way I can. Persons interested must act quickly because the mountain ranges are failing and the cattlemen are forced to sell practically all their cattle at once." Duplin County Boy Is 4-H President Leading a field of nine candidates hw n oofa moroln nf Sflfl VfttftK BOVC6 n OMJIV v? ^ Biooks of Calypso in Duplin County was elected president of the statewide organization of 4-H clubs at ' the annual short course recently held at State College.

They win also have charge of the short course to be held in 1931. The usual custom of alternating officers between the boys and girls was followed this year, the president for the past year being Miss Mary Emma Powell of Sampson County. Boyce Brooks was vice- president md was advanced to the presidency. Vernon James of Pasquotank was secretary and Lassie Hardison of Washington was historian. The short course also saw the culmination of the annual health nHfh hpait-.h nhamDions from L/V'ixui.uv n*v?? %> *?* ? r each district entering the State contest. In the State contest L. L. McLendon, Jr. of Duplin County made the highest score for the boys and was crowned King of Health. His score was 99.5 per cent. Among the girls Miss Nancy Evelyn Neely ol Mecklenburg County made the highest score and was crowned Queen of Health. Her score was 98 per cent. Only minor defects were found in each case and examining physicians state that they were both as near perfect as is found. Health champions are also found among the new officers as Boyce Biooks the president was crowned King of Health in the 1929 contest, and Marjorie Guffey was health champion for the girls in the mountain district this year.

MOST OF THE NEWS |j ,ot< ALL THE TIME " | NUMBER 34 MANY CASES IN COUNTY COURT Recorder's Court Has the Appearance of Superior Court Term On Monday DUKE CASE IS HEARD Recorder's court had more or less Sri the appearance of the higher tribunal Monday morning when Judge T. 0. Rodwell seated himself in the Judicial chair after a rest of two weeks and had before him a long string of law violators and a large crowd of eager spectators who had gathered to hear the particulars of i scandal which evolved around the Blue Moon .Service Station helow Norlina with the personnel of a pung single man and a married woman of Norlina. Judge Rodwell was vacationing last Monday, and he was held until late in the afternoon t'cic week metering out justice to the law violators. The interest of the State was in the hands of Mayor John Taylor of Littleton, who drew his assistance from Gilbert Overby, young Warrenton attorney. Marital infidelity was brought out in court as the State prosecuted Douglas Duke, young white man of Norlina, on charges of registering at the Blue Moon Filling Station with Mrs. L. B. Bronson under fictitious names and enticing female into the hotel for immoral purposes. He was also charged with alienating'the affections of another man's wife, but the State took a nol pros on that count. Douglas Duke, with his brother, Carlton Duke, and Mrs. L. B. Bronson and another woman took French leave from the tourist camp via way of window on July 22 when the husband of Mrs. Bronson appeared armed with a shot gun which he fired into the door of the room which was barracaded by the Nor ana men. Mr. Bronson Drougnc their clothes back to Norlina and swore out a warrant against Douglas Duke. The men disappeared, and rumor had It that they had left for Florida. Upon the return of theDukes to Norlina the warrant was served by Magistrate J. C. Hardy who sent the case to Recorder's court.' ? / Evidence were conclusive that Douglas Duke registered falsely with the woman at the hotel, and the State then sought to influence the court by finding Duke guilty of breaking up a contented married couple. L. B. Bronson told the court that "everything was lovely" between his w:ife and himself untif some time back when he pulled Douglas Duke out of a car with his wife at Henderson. The defense had witnesses to show that harmony was a lost art between the married couple and that Mrs. Bronson had left her husband before the Blue Moon escapade. Neither Mj-s. Bronson, Carlton Duke or the other woman who participated in the affair were in court. Douglas Duke was found guilty and fined $50 and costs on both charges. After his sentence had been pronounced he expressed the desire to have Mr. Bronson return his nlnlhnc onH tho Prtiirf nrH ornH fhflf, l/4\SVSMA+Of UtiV4 V4 4W VVMA W VtMVAVV* Vi(W* It be done. A fight resulting from backing his car into the automobile of "T" Kearney brought Dick Ramsey, proprietor of a negro cafe at Warrenton, into court to face charges of affray and carrying a concealed weapon. Evidence of the case were that Ramsay was leaving the cafe for home when he backed Into the car of Kearney. Words followed and Ramsay struck at Kearney, but missed, and then the latter struck the cafe proprietor. In the fracas a pistol was displayed. Kearney and other witnesss told the court thai Ramsay drew the gun from his pocl&et and was raising it up when Kearney hit his arm and knocked it to the ground. Kearney then took the pistol and carried it to the Boyce Motor Service for safe keeping. Ramsay and his witnesses testified that Ramsay had the gun in his pocket hi take home with his wife and that it was not concealed, and that the gun was not drawn, but fell from his pocket during the fight. Judge Rodwell fined Ramsay $25 and costs. Bennie Gocde, youthful negro, was given a four months suspended road sentence on a charge of manufacturing whiskey. The negro and his mother claimed that he was 15 years of age. School records which had been investigated by Magistrate Fagg, who sent the case to the higher court, showed the negro to be 16 years of age. Gilbert Bracey and James Russell, young negro men, were in court on charges of using profane (Continued on page 8) a f
