THE TORCH
A department conducted for
Hie Warren County
Memorial library
By MABEL DAVIS
The librarian
Books
Our impressions in regard to
what the American people are reading
are usually derived from the
list of best sellers published by
trade journals. It occurred to me
recently that it would be interesting
to learn what our friends here
at home are reading. In response
to my query the chairman of our
book committee submitted the following
list:
Some books from the Warren
County Memorial Library that I
have recently read and enjoyed:
The Human Geography ctf the
South by Rupert B. Vance, puo
llshed by the University of North!
Carolina Press. This is a compre-l
hensive, scholarly and surprisingly]
interesting book on the South, its]
resources, human and natural, cli- I
mate, soils, crops, industries, etc.,1
with ideas as to what to do about j
it.
Mark Twain's America by Ber-J
nard De Voto. A fine arid funny]
account of the frontier life and I
Mark Twain's part in it.
The Magic Mountain by Thomas |t
Mann. A novel long and hard to ] c
read, but whoever reads it willh
know it was worth while. Crammed ]
with knowledge of medicine and ]
metaphysics. It contains half a ]
dozen passages that are products of I f
high genius and that the reader]
will long remember. |r
The story of Gosta Berling by ]c
Selma Lagerlof. A novel of charm,]a
power and beauty. ] j
Expression in America by Lud-1
wig Lewisohn. A frank original]
modern and stimulating survey of ]
American literature from Cotton ]t
Mather to William Falkener.
Wilhelm Meister by Goethe. ]
Which proves that a classic need ]
not be boring, at least for the first ] t
vcdume. IF
For the Pendleton Shelf ]a
We are indebted to Mrs. Kath- ] J
erine P. Arrington for a copy of I h
"8cience and F?ractlce of Oil F"aint- j a
ing" by Harold Speed, published in a
London, received a few days ago. J
Though primarily designed for art I
students, the book will hold the a
interest of any one who cares at
all for art. It will do more than
that: it wil enable the reader to j
appreciate something of the art is- s
, tic execution of a good painting, i:
The book may be found with the t
Pendleton Memorial collection. p
Mrs. Malcolm Stewart also has vt
our thanks for a copy of Irving a
Bacheller's '"Hie Light in the
Clearing", given to replace our n
badly worn copy. S

WRECK CASE
(Continued from Page 1)
Reid when he "tossed" the piece
of iron at him. "I didn't know
what I had my hand on and if
Reid hadn't ducked he would not
have been struck in the head,"
Burchette testified.
Baldwin, the eye-witness, testified
to the friendship of the two
men and said that they were engaged
in play when the fatal blow
was struck. The defendant was
given a good reputation by members
of both races.
Two of the men who put W. H.
Rpll out of thp sprviep station hnsi
ness by completely looting his stock
and broke into the depot at Manson
on the same night are to pay
for their crime by working on the
roads of North Carolina from two
to four years. A third member of
the pillaging party is to serve the
State for six months. The woman
who accompanied the men failed to
appear in court and a capais has
been issued for her.
Mr. Bell went out of business on
the morning of February 6 when
he went to his service station near
Warrenton and found his stock
depleted and a sign reading "For
Rent." He found on the other side
of the sign these words: "To hell
with a man that can't carry a full
line of stock. What we got from
you isn't worth a dam. Shadow
Gangsters, phone 3320 S. R. W.
Main St." The robbers who left the
sign had taken stock valued at approximately
$100.
On the same night the service
station was robbed the depot at
Manson was broken into, and lamp
wicks, files, tacks and buckets
were stolen.
Kemp Billings, Jake Lester and
James Pearcy were arrested for the
crime and were in the custody of
Jailer E. C. Lovell until this week ,
when they were brought into the j
court room by officers to face
charges of store-breaking, larceny,
and receiving stolen goods.
Kemp Billings plead guilty to the
charges and told the court that
James Pearcy, Jake Lester and
Pearl Billings were with him when
both the service station and the
depot were robbed. He said that
Pearl Billings wrote the note which
was left at Mr. Bell's place of
business. Jake Lester testified that
he was so drunk that he did not
know where he went or what occurred.
Billings was sentenced to the
State prison to do hard labor for
not less than two years nor more
than three years. Lester was sentenced
to hard labor in the State
prison for not less than two years

nor more than four years. James
Pearcy, 20 years of age, was sentenced
to jail for six months. In meting
out the sentence Judge Daniels
told the defendants, "You are not
cnly guilty breaking into a man's
place of business but you are also
guilty of slandering his stock."
Tuck Pearcy and Claude Billings,
young boys who supplied the hacksaw
blade that was used by prisoners
of the Warren county jail in
an attempted jail break several
weeks ago, were sentenced to jail,
assigned to work the State roads,
for a period of five months. Each
one of the defendants accused the
other of getting the blade from the
Warrenton Box & Lumber Co. and ,
carrying it to the jail where it was
tied on a string and pulled through
the window by James Pearcy and
Kemp Billings. Evidence was that
they were together and each hadf_
a part in the crime. Although the I
prisoners used the saw to cut
through a bar, their escape was
prevented by Mrs. Lovell, wife of
the jailer.
The Grand Jury failed to find 1
a true bill in the case against A.
B. Paschall, well known white man
oi tms county, cnargea wn-ii em- j
bezzlement.
B. D. Burton was sent to the
State hospital for treatment. The
jury decided that he was men- tally
unfit to defend himself in a ^
bad check charge.
