C Little Interest Shown In County Court On Monday Little in the way of interest transpired in Recorder's court on Monday morning when evidence in only one case was presented by Solicitor Cromwell Daniel before Judge W. W. Taylor. The other cases on docket for this week were postponed. Isiah Daniel, negro who became entangled in the meshes of the law as the result of an altercation with his wife and son, was found guilty on an assault charge and was given a road sentence of six months, suspended on the condition that he pay a $10 fine plus court costs. According to evidence in court, the trouble between the negroes deiiAlnnnrl n 1 H ? TTan 'c* I vciupcu xx uiu a x i-jcat-uiu uwn u 'failure to carry out his father's instructions in regard to tieing out a cow when his mother had given him a counter-order in regard to going to the spring for water. The evidence disclosed that when the father returned to the house and found that his instructions had not been carried out he struck his wife over the head several times with a stick for interfering with his orders and that the son interceded in behalf of the mother and struck the father over the head with a stick. The fracas ended with the father chasing them all out of the house, throwing wood at them as they fled his wrath. Apparently no ill feeling existed between father, wife and son when they entered court Monday morning. All three said that they were at peace with each other now, and the wife asked that the court be ss lenient as possible with her husband. She testified that they had been living together for fifteen years and that this occasion was the first in which "a fit of passion" had caused him to strike her. Robert Smith, striped negro convict at the Warren County Prison Camp, was brought into court to face trial on an assault charge, but *?5 follrmcr wit.h ?JUUg<2 J-ajflUl, ail. CI lamu.u Prison Camp Superintendent T. H. Aycock, held that the case was out of his jurisdiction and the name ?# the defendant was booked on the Superior court docket for trial in September. The case against Allen Jones, charging assault, was continued until August 13. Citizens Invited To Attend Truck Routing Meeting Citizens of Warren county are invited to be present on Saturday afternoon, August 4; in the court room at Warrenton when the Board of Education will meet with school principals to map out truck routes for the school term of 1934-35, Supt. J. Edward Allen said yesterday. At this time citizens will be asked to make objections, if any, to the proposed routes, for the guidance of the Board of Education in making its recommendations to the State School Commission. The law requires every principal of a school to which children go by truck to be present, Mr. Allen said, adding that it would be necessary for every principal to appoint his drivers before the meeting. Superintendent Allen said that the Board of Education had reason to believe that the county would be furnished with a number of large i new trucks. Expecting this to be true, the state will require the county to operate the trucks on ! about $2500 less than the cost of i truck operation last year. Mr. Allen requests that under these con ditions, the principals and school ' committeemen suggest what ,ir;y 1 the drivers should receive in oidei : that they may feel enough interest in the trucks to take care of them and still not overspend the school 1 money. s On Saturday morning, August 4 . all school principals and as many teachers as are not too far away will meet with the staff of the State Department of Public Instruction in the high school buildr ings at Warrenton to map out the instructional program. This is very " important, Mr. Allen said. The ' meetings for the two races will be 1 held in the high school buildings al ? the same time. 1 5 LIBRARY MEETING i The annual meeting of the Wari ren County Memorial Library, Inc. will be held next Tuesday night i Juy 31, at 8 o'clock, C.

Congressman Kerr Thinks 20c Is Low Enough Price Washington, July 24.?Representitive John Kerr of the Second forth Carolina district, declared onight that he had urged J. B. lutson, head of the AAA tobacco livision; to call another meeting in Washington of flue cured tobacco luyers at which growers could be >resent in order that all interested >arties can thresh out the flue cur d tobacco situation. Kerr said Hutson promised him mch a meeting will be held within he next few days. Kerr sat in for two hours on the ill-day conference today between VAA officials and representatives of sight large tobacco companies. He rrged there be another marketing tgreement, taking the position that vithout the agreement last year1 ;he farmers would not have receiv:d 8 cents a pound for their flue:ured crop. The North Carolina solon said at ;his time he did not care to dis:uss the argument made by S. Clay Williams of the R. J. Reynolds Company to the effect that be:ause of the anticipated small crop ;his year the foreign and domestic iemand for flue-cured tobacco may ie so great that the farmer will receive more in the open market for lis product than he would under a narketing agreement. ~ Williams in his statement said the auyers ''know no reason at this stage to assume that there will be iny need for a marketing agreement to bring the farmers a parity price for his tobacco. Asked what he thought the parity price to flue cured tobacco is at this time, Kerr said at leasts 20 cents ind probably more. Kerr was author if the tobacco production control bill and is regarded as an authority on the subject. BAILEY WIRES DAVIS FOR 25-CENT MINIMUM Raleigh, July 25.?Expressing him*?

Bailey has wired Chester Davis of the tobacco division of the AAA of his belief in the imperative need for a 25-cent minimum.

Senator Bailey also furnished L. V. Morrill Jr., who went to Washington yesterday to confer with AAA officals, with a letter of introduction to Mr. Davis, saying that he thought Morrill had "earned the right to speak for the farmers" by reason of his efforts in behalf of them last vear.
