Jackson to the office of this newspaper this week where he displayed quite a collection of money ^ of a former day, and topped all previous records for old money { when he picked from a tobacco . sack a coin which bore the date . 1775- i However, the coin displayed by ^ Mr. Jackson lost out in the old age , race when a Warrenton lady, who' r requested that her name be witn- c held, came in later with one of t solid 'gold which bore the date 1755. ]. The gold coin was about the size of v a quarter and upon one side was a { man's picture and these words: j, LUD-XVDG. P. R. Etnav. REX. j The other side of the coin bore a c crown, court of arms, Flouer de- j Lis, an A, and these words: CHRIS, i* Regn. VINC. Imper., and the date j 1755. ^ C The coin presented by Mr. Jackson was similar to the ones pre- t sented by Robert Mitchell two j weeks ago and the one last week, f exhibited by Sol Fleming, and bore t the date 1775. In Mr. Jackson's j collection was a small coin worn ? so badly tht the date was indistin- f guishable, but which had the ap- T pearance of being older than the i one dated 1775. ?

Jesse Gardner, relief administrator here, said that Mrs. O'Berry, who heads the ERA in North Carolina, had included Warren in the list of counties of the state which are to be surveyed to determine the number of potential power consumers, and that Walter Myrick had been chosen to make the survey. The survey is to begin at once, it was said. 140 Head Cattle Arrive Here On Tuesday Morning One hundred and forty head of cattle from the drought-stricken section of the west were unloaded at the Warrenton depot on Tuesday morning and carried by truck to the Ed Alston farm in Fork township where they are to be fattened on land rented to the government. The cattle came in four cars and attracted a number of Warren citizens to the depot as they were be- i ing removed to the Alston property. ; The cattle appeared to be in good 1 condition except for the very plain 1 evidences of lack of proper feed. ( They wore the ERA insignia brand ed on their hips. i Three cars of the cattle were un- ' loaded at Macon on Monday and trucked to the Frank Davis prop- i erty near the Roanoke river. There I were 104 of the animals in the \ shipment to Macon, it was said. ( Say Increase In Budget Necessary j . . . 3 Raleigh, Sept. 30. ? Surveying , business conditions and price trends, the State's money gather- , ing and disbursing agencies have j reached a unanimous decision?the ( next Legislature must find more , revenue or State institutional and 1 department standards must be cut ' below the bare-bone Depression minimums. , The people who are now working an the tables and estimates that 1 ?ill ^ " i- V. ?? V.?-> rti VA/ln?Yl _ Will luilll uic uaoio iui noi/ai icwuimendations to the Assembly convening in January believe that present revenue schedules will not anly allow for no salary increases, I but will not provide for operation < during the 1935-37 biennium at the 1 standards of the biennium which I ends next June 30. It is all estimate, of course, but i estimate is all that the Legislature ivill have in framing a fiscal policy i two years in advance. J Commissioner of Revenue A. J. 1 Maxwell said he did not believe ' that revenue under the present < State tax schedule would increase 1 sufficiently with better business < conditions to allow any sizeable in- 1 rreasf in aDDronriations. 1 Mr. Maxwell said he did not be- * ieve the better business conditions f *ould bring in the $2,000,000 addi- t ;ional yearly which would be re- I juired for a 10 per cent blanket i say increase for all State employ- 1 >es, including teachers. , The Revenue Commissioner did sot propose any form of tax which ] be felt would bring in the addi;ional revenue if the budget is increased. That actioll, he said, has not been taken and there is no use talking about new or increased tax 1 schedules before such a step is 1 taken. < Budget hearings for the 1935-1937 aiennium for State institutions and 1 ienartments will get underway the ' latter part of next month. Heads 3f the various groups will present ;heir estimates of the amount to be needed to carry on the functions )f their departments during the ;oming biennium. The State, due to general fund revenue falling below estimates for ;he fiscal year 1933-1934, experienced difficulty in balancing the general fund budget for that year. During the first half of that year departments and institutions had 'avorable contracts which enabled ;he making of necessary purchases without reflection of rising prices. During the last half of the year, ^ contracts were not so favorable be- 1 :ause of rising prices. Contracts for the current year, it 1 was pointed out, can not be ex- 1 pected to be so favorable as those 1 )f last year and higher prices must 1 (Continued on page 4) I S 3DA1 J v t>4? ? **? f ? . qolalijij. pi MOST OF THE NEWS ALL- 4%. ?.i?

Monday the physicians will be at Areola, Grove Hill, Marmaduke and : Liberia; Tuesday at Macon, Vaughan and Embro; Wednesday at Creek, Inez, Stoney Lawn School, Epworth, Jack Johnston Store, Elams, Drewry, Buchannan Store and Oine; Thursday at Hecks Grove, Elberon and Pinnell's Store; and next Friday at Odell, Axtelle, Perry Town School, Snow Hill School, Manson, Ridgeway and Norlina.

Every child between the ages of six months and six years should take diphtheria vaccine, according to the health officials. Three treatments of diphtheria 3r typhoid vaccine are necessary. Each is harmless, practically a certain preventive and practically painless, a physician said yesterday, and added that neither causes any sore. Those in charge of the campaign are urging that every member of the family be brought to the near- { ast dispensary point. Pointing out that typhoid is on the increase in Warren, the doctors say, "Take it! Sfour neighbor may be careless." The doctors particular urge citisens to be on time. Tip May Have '> ' Worked Both Ways A tip, one that possibly worked Doth ways, led Sheriff Pinnell and two of his deputies to a still site where they destroyed 600 gallons of beer on Wednesday, but it did not lead to the capture of the moon- V, shiners' manufacturing outfit. Sheriff Pinnell said that he had information that a still was located in Hawtree township and that when ae and Deputies Lawrence Robert- ( son and Walter Mustian arrived at ;he spot they found the beer and . ocks which were hot from a re- ( :ent fire, but the booze plant had seen removed, evidently just a short vhile before they arrived. The of leer said that he received his in'ormation about the still over a ;elephone wire and that It was jossible that some one on the line ntercepted the message and inormed the bootleggers that a raid vas about to be made. Robbers Take Safe From Mabry's Store Mabry's Store at Ridgeway was aroken into on Tuesday night and -nhherf of its safe, books and a quantity of merchandise. The safe was found Wednesday norning by Sheriff Pinnell on the )ld road to Ridgeway, its door aaving been smashed and around 540 in cash removed. A number of :hecks and the books, which were n the safe, were not bothered. The value of the merchandise < aken by the robbers could not be earned here} but it was said that he robbers "took right much ifaiff ? Although Sheriff Pinnell was ible to trace the truck that moved ;he safe for some distance, no clues vere left to lead to an arrest.
