PAGE 4 The Warren Record Published Every Friday by The Press Publishing Co. One Year For .,$1.50 HOWARD JONES, JR. BIGNALL S. JONES Editors HOWARD F. JONES, SR. Contributing Editor That Justice May Ever Have A Champion; That Evil Shall Not Flourish Unchallenged. Entered at the Postoffice at Warrenton, North Carolina, under Act of Congress of 1879. HOW TO TRUST: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.?Proverbs 3: 5, 6. If the hypothesis of God works satisfactorily in the widest sense of the term, it is true. Experience shows that it certainly does work, and that the problem is to build It out and determine it so that it will combine satisfactorily with all the other working truths.?William James. MAYBE ROAD WILL BE COMPLETED We are publishing on the front page of this newspaper a communication from E. B. Jeffress, Chairman of the State Highway Commission, in regard to the Louisburg road, which we believe is self-explanatory. We are also publishing on the same page a synopsis of the news articles and editorials that have appeared in this paper during the past 15 years in regard to this road. We think that this article will also be enlightening. We commend both to the read- j ov' o offemtinn VA O Ul/lVllUVlli Perhaps the most significant statement in Mr. Jeffress' letter is that the road would be completed either with Federal funds or with State funds as soon as the Legislature removed the ban on road building. When that will be no one can safely predict. Another winter must pass before the Legislature can take action on this matter. Unless there is marked improvement in business conditions chances are ; slim for the ban being removed at the next session of the Legislature. So if the Highway Commission can not pay for this out of Federal funds, it may be years before the road is completed. That is the dark side of the picture. However, Mr. Jeffress promises to visit Warrenton within the next few days to discuss this matter with the commissioners and other citizens. It may be that he will see the injustice that has been worked against Warren county and will make a special effort to rectify it. If this is done, we feel that the road will be shortly completed, and that a highway that should have been among the first to be built in the state will after a dozen or more years of delay be finished.

Every one who is at all acquainted rath John Tarwater knows how sold te is on the Reynolds Tobacco Company products which he repreents. Yesterday when I called for , pack of Camel cigarets a Lucky itrike salesman who was standing learby called me to one side, tore pen a Camel and a Lucky Strike nd endeavored to prove to me that he tobacco in his brand was uperior. Then he presented me rath a pack of Luckies with the nvitation to try them. Later I told ohn about it. "That's nothing," John replied. He did the same thing for me. I et him go right ahead and said lothing until he offered me a pack >f his cigarets. Then I told him hat I couldn't accept them as I epresented Reynolds. He hurried iway without a word." After receiving a letter from E. J. Jeffress, chairman of the State lighway Commission on Wedneslay afternoon, I decided that I rould go through the files and look ip all references to the Warrentonjouisburg roal. I was unable to tart on that task before about 7 'clock on Wednesday night and leld up at 11. Yesterday morning I ras at it again before 9 o'clock ind it was after 1 before I had finshed digging up my information, t's not such an easy job looking hrough every paper we have pubished during the past 15 years.
