Dr. F. P. Hunter, health officer, said last night that he could not give the exact number of those who have been vaccinated due to the fact that the reports had not come in from all the physicians of the county, but that he would estimate the number of those taking the typhoid treatment at 5,000; and those taking the diphtheria treatment at 400. The health officer pointed out that three treatments of diphtheria or typhoid serum are necessary to immunize a person from these dreaded diseases and stressed the importance of those who missed the first treatment availing themselves of the opportunity to safeguard their health by joining in the free campaign and taking the remaining three treatments. The treatments are given in practically all sections of the county, and any one who missed the first treatment still has an opportunity to be immunized free of charge, Dr. Hunter said. Those in charge of the campaign are urging that every member of the family be brought to the nearAllen Discusses Subjects For Study In Warren Schools Required and elective subjects in the Warren county schools are discussed in an article prepared for The Warren Record this week, by J.

Of course there is a possibility of making these overlap somewhat, and in special cases this is encouraged; but the state's colleges and universities set up some requirements for entrance which we have to respect, and yet the college entrance requirements are not the best plan of high school work for those who are not to be college students, unless there is a special aptitude toward the classics, algeIbra and the like.

Two acres of land were secured from George Frazier in the Warren Plains section. Five hundred nnnnrts of soda contributed by the Arcadian Nitrate Company was used in connection with other fertilizers purchased, and the plowing, planting and working was done by C. H. Drye, teacher of agriculture, and boys of his class residing in the Warren Plains neighborhood. \ Sunday a representative of this paper inspected the field with Mr. Drye and found a splendid stand of cotton about waist high which is estimated to yield around a bale to the acre. This cotton was planted on a sandy type of soil better suited to tobacco growth. Mr. Drye said that while it was not ideal cotton land it was the best they could obtain. Later the newspaper man inspected a field across the road on the 'same type land which had received different treatment. It is doubtful if this two acres will produce a half bale of cotton combined. lu> Mi N, COUNTY OF WARREN, f Persons Inoculated 1 And Toxoid Since County Last Saturday lest dispensary point.

Sheriff Charges Defendant Drunk On Witness Stand "I just had one small drink before breakfast," Edward Tudor, white man of Virginia charged with operating an automobile on the North Carolina highways while under the influence of whiskey, admitted to Judge Taylor in Recorder's court on Monday morning when he was called back on the stand by Solicitor Cromwell,Daniel after Sheriff Pinnell had testified that Tudor had been under the influence of whiskey each time lie had been here to face trial and expressed the opinion that lie should be locked up and prevented from driving an automobile. The statement that the defendant was partly under the influence of whiskey at the time and the opinion that he should be locked up came from Sheriff Pinnell when Judge Taylor asked him what lie thought about Tudor's condition in I respect to whiskey. ''He's been drinking this morning; the last time he was over here and his case was postponed he was drunk, and I think he should be locked up," the officer stated. Tudor at first denied that he had been drinking, but after Sheriff Pinnell's testimony and a few questions from Judge Taylor he admitted that he had taken a small drink before breakfast. Tudor's case had been on the docket for three weeks, but the first time it was called for trial a continuance was granted at the request of the defendant; the second week the state's witness, Patrolman Bailey, was unable to be here on account of the fact that he was called to another part of the state; jthis week it was postponed when John Kerr Jr. appeared for the Virginia man and asked for a jury trial next week, but shortly after Judge Taylor had granted a continuance until next Monday morn(Continued on page 2) Field Inspector Returns To Town J.

In making this announcement she expressed the hope that every church will have a representative present on this occasion. Mrs. T. R. Wol4ett is president of the organiza% J I ; ttrrot J. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 'SEEK TO HAVE PROPERTY LISTED Board Orders Auditor To Check Tagged Cotton With Tax Books MITCT n ? V T ? V 1UUJ1 rrtl LfWVJl 1 AA That the Board of County Commissioners of Warren county is determined to lessen the amount of property escaping taxation was evidenced by three orders passed by that body in regular session here on Monclay. Sheriff Pinnell was instructed to notify all taxpayers who have not paid their taxes and who have dogs listed, if such taxes are not paid by October 15, 1934, that warrants will be :issued against them. Warrants will also be issued against any citizen who willfully fails to list his property or poll, according to an order of the board, such failure to be reported to the chairman of the Board who is to take necessary legal action. There is a wide difference between the amount of old cotton tagged by Claude Haithcock as the government's representative and the amount of cotton listed on the tax books of the county. This difference was discussed by the commissioners and the Auditor was instructed to ascertain from County Agent Bob Bright all cotton that is found tagged, compare lists of owners with those on the tax books and list such cotton where It is discovered that it is not already listed. The board ordered that ? acres of real estate be listed against Garland Alston Est., Fork Township, at $5 per acre, plus timber valuation at $500; same to be listed for five years back taxes. On motion of Commissioner Skinner, it was seconded and ordered that one lot be listed against T. C. Williams Estate at a valuation of $100 for five years back taxes, together with lawful penalties for the years 1930-31-32-33 and 34. This lot is situated in Judkins township, Uttleton scnortf district, and on Mosby Avenue in the town of Littleton. H. J. Haithcock presented the board a doctor's bill for $36.50 for services rendered Mrs. H. J. Haithcock wlio was injured by a mad dog. The commissioners appointed N. M. Thornton, J. M. Coleman and Hawkins Gilliland a committee to assess damages, as provided by law. The committee approved the claim and the commissioners ordered it paid and charged against the school fund, beneficiary of dog tax collections. W. E. Edwards, World War veteran, was exempted from the payment of pedlar's license in Warren county. The State Highway Commission was requested to soil the road from Wise to PaSchall in Hawtree township after Wallace Paschall had appeared before the board requesting that the road be worked. . It was ordered that Duke hospital be paid the sum of $14 for services rendered Perry Boyd. Ollie Rose, John Williams and George Robinson were appointed to investigate a claim for damages presented the board by Fred Burton who stated that a calf, his property, had been damaged by a mad dog. The commissioners ordered that the Sheriff's Insolvent list be accepted. Warren Plains Road Is Blocked The public is asked to refrain for a few days from using the Warrenton-Warren Plains road which was blocked Wednesday by the State Highway Department In order that tar and gravel might be applied. In asking the public not to use this road until it is completed. District Engineer Rodgers, here on Wednesday afternoon, stated that the highway department is anxiou3 to make a good job of surfacing this road and pointed out that it will be impossible to do so unless the public cooperates. Provided the weather is favorable, this road is expected to be completed and open to the public j within a week. The engineer said !+viat iwmircd about four days to I/11UU AW A M? _ treat the road with the tar and gravel and have it In condition for traveling over.

Board Appoints R. L. Wilson Senior Night Policeman R. L. Wilson, who has been assisting in looking after the peace of the town at night for several j years, was on Monday night deleI gated as senior night officer by the board of town commissioners. Frank Neal, who replaced E. C. Lovell as night chief the first of June, will assist Officer Wilson in policing the town after dark. The motion to make Mr. Wilson the senior night officer was seconded and passed after one of the commissioners had pointed out that Mr. Wilson had been serving the town as Bight officer for a long period of tlnWfchd that in his opinion it was nothing but fair that the rule of seniority be applied in this case. The discussion of the police force came following the reading of an application from Owen Davis for the Job of night officer. The commissioners decided that they would reappoint Officers Wilson and Neal to serve until the next regular meeting and that a committee should be appointed to determine if any change was needed in the police force, and in the event that a change seemed desirable, that this committee should make recommendations along this line. Other than the discussion of The town's police force, matters before the board were of a routine nature. Vaughan Displays Number Old Bills Tom Vaughan this week joined the ranks of those who have been displaying odd money at the office of The Warren Record for the past several weeks. Mr. Vaughan's collection consists of paper money, which in its day ranged in value from five cents to two dollars. The majority of this currency was issued by the State of North Carolina; however he displayed one fiftycents piece of paper issued by the Confederate States of America six months after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States and the United States. Another piece of his money was payable to the Traders Bank at the City of Richmond. Also there was a 25 cent bill issued by the State of South Caro Una. All of the money displayed by Mr. Vaughan was dated between 1860 and 1870, and with the exception of the piece payable at the Traders Bank in Richmond, bore the signatures of the treasurers of the states in which they were issued. The two dollar bill issued by the State of North Carolina in 1861 was signed by W. H. Dodd. W. O. Fowler's endorsement could be rea'd on another one of the ST&te's biU, but the signature of several of the treasurers had lost their legibleness with the years.

Associate Editor Warren Record The type of tobacco known as "flue cured" is bringing a price that is encouraging to producers. There must be a reason. To my mind there was a leadership for the farmers in their own ranks; a leadership in Congress, and a willingness to follow by the Agricultural Department at Washington. Then, too( the Buyers recognized the fact that unless something was done for the farmer, the "Goose that laid the golden egg" would be slaughtered.

A report circulating here late yesterday afternoon that the Henderson mills had been forced to shut down following a visit from a "flying squadron" estimated at 2,000 men was branded as false ay Sheriff Hamlet of Henderson in a telephone conversation last night. The Vance county officer stated that Henderson had been visited by three automobiles carrying strikers but that the men did not try to force the mills to close. "Things here are running as usual tonight,' he said. Officials of the Peck Manufacturing Company said yesterday afternoon that they would not be surprised if a "flying squadron" visited this mill in their fight to completely paralize the textile industry and that in the event the strikers came here that the mill would be closed down rather than auujeut cui|*iuyeeB iu viuicnue axiu machinery to damage. The one hundred and forty cotton mill operatives employed by the Peck Manufacturing Company are not in sympathy with the strike, it was stated. "The men feel that they have been getting a square deal under the New Deal and wish to go on with their work without any interference," Mr. Kinsey said. SEVEN LIVES LOST IN ARMED CONFLICT IN S. CAROLINA Seven men died and 30 fell wounded today in mill clashes as flying squadrons continued their forays through the Carolinas despite national guard attempts to restore order in the general textile ffr?i lro Ol/X iUV/. Pistols and shotguns took six lives and injured 30 employes of the Chiquola Mill at Honea Path, S. C., defending their right to work, and a deputy sheriff at the Dunean mill at Greenville fired six bullets into John Black. The Honea path victims were members of a squadron from BHtonj S. C., which arrived at the mill just before opening time today and demanded that its gates remain closed. The mill management delayed opening pending a final decision, but meantime armed workers entered into a dispute with the Belton crowd, which numbered approximately 200 . In a moment guns were blazing and the ground was littered with dead and wounded. The identies of the wounded, and the faction to which they belonged could not be learned immediately. The Honea Path dead are: E. M. (BUI) Knight, 45; Thomas Yarborough, 54; Ira Davis, 26; Claude Cannon, 27; and Maxie Peterson, 25. Bob Putnam, the officer who killed Black at Greenville was arrested.

Since the ausDicious ODenincr of the Georgia and South Carolina markets several weeks ago) farmers in this section have been optimistic over the expected price for the weed in this belt, and a price above parity is anticipated for this year's crop. Tobacco growers are not expecting. the boom prices of 1919 when the average on the Warrenton market was nearly 40 cents a pound, but if the prices paid this year on other markets may be used as a barometer; farmers are looking forward to an average of better than 20 cents and approaching the 25-cent mark. There will be three warehouses open here to receive the golden weed and buyers of the big companies, many of whom are local men, will be on hand to follow the cries of Auctioneer R. D. Jones, and tobacconists, with other business men, await the open days' salo with pleasure. With experienced men here and one of the oldest markets in the state, the prediction is made that Warrenton's prices will be as good as those paid anywhere. There will be no change in the management of the three warehouses here this season. Boyd's warehouse will be under the management of W. N. Boyd and J. E. Rooker, with Miss Elizabeth Rooker as bookkeeper; Centre warehouse will be operated by R. K. Carroll and C. J. Fleming, with Tom Gardner as bookkeeper; and Tarwater's warehouse will be operated by J. J. Tarwater and Charlie Hicks, with Edward Tarwater as bookkeeper. The tobacco brought here will be sold on all three floors behind the auctioneering of Rennie Jones and Fred McQueen and Rodwell Gardner will serve the Warrenton market as bookman and clipman. Following is a list of the buyers on the Warrenton market and the companies which they will represent: A1 Ballou, Imperial Tobacco Co.; Whitmul Peoples, Export Tobacco Co.; M. C. McGuire, American To- * bacco Co.; V. T. Reavis, Leggett ?fc Meyers Tobacco Co.; John G. Tarwater, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.; J. B. Massenburg, P.

Tobacco Must Be Sold In Right Name Section two, chapter 467 of the North Carolina law as passed by the General Assembly is pointed out at this time that farmers might protect themselves against allowing others to sell tobacco in any other than rightful names. While the law was written before the tobacco reduction program was ever advanced, it fits well into the situation. Farmers whose allotments are considered low might find an opportunity to sell tobacco in the name of a neighbor whose allotment was not produced. The section reads: "That is shall be unlawful for any I person, firm or corporation to sell or offer for sale or cause to be sold, or offered for sale, any leaf tobacco 1 upon the floors of any leaf tobacco 1 warehouse, in the name of any per- J son, firm or corporation, other "I than that of the true owner or owners thereof, which true owner's name shall be registered upon the warehouse sales book in which it is heinff offered for sale." Violation of the law carries a fine of not more than $50 and not more than 30 days in Jail. Miss Sue Blunt Massenburg has returned after attending a house party at Enfield.
