LANDS IN NEW YORK ALUD CHEERING Arrets Lined With Fellow Citi- zens Whose Acclaim Was Con tinuous; Rank of General Be stowed As He Stepped Ashore. Xew York, Sept. 8. General Persa-ino-, after two years in command of the greatest army America ever sent to battle, returned to the United States today. As he stepped ashore from the huge liner Levithan, he was handed a commission as general, a rank previously held by only three Americans-Grant, Sherman and! Sher- i idan. The stern faced soldier was not proof against the tribute of praise and gratitude which" was roared from hundreds of thousands of the tnroas of his fellow citizens. His voice trembled with emotions as he responded to the greetings ex tended by Secretary of War Baker in his own behalf and that of the Presi dent as well as the welcoming ad dresses of representatives of the Sen ate and House the State and city. . Carried Away by Welcome. As his car passed slowly through the Broadway from the Battery to the City Hall, Pershing attempted in vain cheering multitudes' which jammed to maintain his composure. At first he replied to the cheers with the stiff sJute which military etiquette de mand's, but he was soon earried away by the storm of applause which swept in great gusts about him. Rising to his feet he waved his cap about his head with a boyish gesture which told how deeply he was stirred while .the grim lines fo his bronze face broke into a smile. , j New York did not exhaust its wel come today. Wednesday he will ride -down Fftth Avenueat the head of the first division of the regular army, the first to go and the last to leave, vic tors in the first battle ever fought on European soil by American soldiers. Surrounded by comrades, humbler in station, but who had offered their all just as freely in the cause of liberty, General Pershing first reglimpsed his native land. When the huge Levia than nosed her way through the mists off the Jersey coast, the General stood' upon her deck with the famous "com posite regiment." 3,000 picked Ameri can soldiers, known as "Pershing's own.'

The time'' set as a substitute is rapidly approaching. A re-union of the 30th Division at Greenville, S.

Warrenton and Warren county surely will pay this deserved tribute of respect to the Brave Boys who en listed in the various departments of service in defense of their country and especially.jn honor of the Heroes of Warren who sleep n the battlefields ef France. Truly -yours, JOHN GRAHAM. Now'sTimeTo Select Good Seed "Whatsoever a man oweth that shall he also reap" and " like begets like," are the two things we should remember in selecting seed of any kind. The first state is as true as it was in days of old. the second is the - theory upon which all plant and ani mal breeding is based. We cannot expect toreapV good crop if we plant poor seed?, and now is the time to select our seed corn, not next spring when we get rady to plant. If we wait until then, then we do away with or ignore the great principle bf plant breeding. If we select our seed corn from the crib we have no way of telling what tho parent plant was like. Although we may be able to pick a good individual ear the chances are that the grains rf rora "that ear will r nQt produce- ears 1 like the parent ear. This is true be cause in the single. ear we have only half the parentange. "The other half might have come from a stalk that was very inferior,we have no way of telling when we select our seed from the crib. On the other haAd if we select our seed in the fVeld we have a greater assurance that we will not reap what -r-w-r i 1 i V J. we sow. we Know wnat xne . parent plant is and the plants arounc? which are likely to fertilize it, thus giving us the second half of its parentage. In selecting seed corn we should get the type of plant , definitely in mind that we want to produce. If:we wat certain characters in our corn plant we should select seed from plants that have those characters, for instance you could never produced a two-ear corn: from a one ear variety without selection. It has been proven that a two ear or prolific type of corn will yield more grain than a one ear variety. This being the case everyone should select from a stalk that bare two ears. These ears should! not be over three feet from the ground, should be born (Continued On Fo.urth Page) MICKIE SAYS i; OFC '14 OO It. CAUSE NE OUR WARRENTON. N. C TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1919 0D NO ONE "SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT BECAME OF 11 QTS. Vinegar Substituted For Four Roses In Vault For Safe Keep ing; Many Surmises Floating Around As To Disappearance. j - An-unusually heavy docket was be fore Recorder T. 6. Rodwell yester day with two assault and battery ases and one liquor casef j-ne case state vs. J. H. Hill, caught with eleven , quarts of whiskey at Norlina, was dismissed with forfei ture of fifty dollar bond!. An unusual, but not an unprecedented incident, is furnishing room for much surmise in reference to this case. The whiskey was turned over for safe keeping by Magistrate Hardy following Hill's ap prehension at Norlina last week. Yesterday at the trial it was found that vinegar had been substituted for the-booze and no one can give any ex planation of the change. Public sen timent, gathered from conversation with leading men of this county, dis close the staunch belief that the goods were removed! from the vault and the substitution made entirely unknown to Clerk of Court John D. Newell or his Deputy Frank Newell as is claim ed by these 'gentlemen who had the whiskey suitcase in charge. It re mains a mystery how the substitution was made but with the numbers of people who visit the office it could have been done by one of the visitors. One theory is that a skeleton key to the vault is held by some one, for an occurence of similar nature caused much surmise during the term of of fice of the late lamented and esteemed Clerk of Court -J. R. Rodwell. State vs. Abram Roberson for as - sault and battery in the summer of last year gained! verdict of three months on the Halifax county roads. "Stafe " vsT' Abram "Roberson and Homer Richardson for quarreling and general family row at Faulcon home over a baseball mitt and. general curs ing was. dismissed with payment of half of cost bv each defendant. John - Russell c harged with assault was dismissed with $10 and cost, Judgement of Court against Thomas I Russell, for assault, was $15 and cost. U. D. C. Meets Friday The U. D. C. will meet with Mrs. Eugene Allen at her residence, Friday 12th, at 5 p. m. All are urged to at tend. MRS. S. D. TWITTY, Pres. (Br Allen issues Statement Reference School Fund So many people are making requests for apropriations for school im provements and for new buildings that I think it wise to present to thepeo ple of Warren cuonty a statement of the standing of the school funds. There seems to be an impression that the Board of Education has ample money for all appropriations, and this, I regret to say, is erroneous. . The school funds are accounted for in three parts: the "General Fund, -"Special Tax Maintenance Accounts," and! "Special Tax District Bond Ac counts." The last two classes belong to the districts that pay the special taxes, and not to the county fund at all. GENERAL FUND . . From the General Fund the Board of Education makes it appropriations Balance reported on hand July 1, 1919. . .......... . . .$ 860.46 Expenditures macfe or authorized before July 1, by old Board. . . ... 750.90 Salaries and expenses authorized. by new Board1 J-Ji Deficit in General Fund September 1-- w.oo SPECIAL TAX FUNDS Balance reported on hand.

J2xJ2x Sanitary Toilets (Required by law, estimated) .... 600.00 For colored school buildings, to meet Rpsewalds funds ... 1200.00 $ 2950.00 Of the balance, about $1100.00 will be drawn out in a few days by the school for the purpose for which it will be, collected, and the entire balance belongs to one particular school. , " , . It will be seen that, instead! of having ample money, the Board or Edu cation is, as the Board of Education of Warren County has always been, hand icapped for lack of money. There are, after the war emergency, many school buildings in the county badly in need of being consolidated into mod ern three-teacher or four-teacher schools; we need many modern lmprove mnts But these cost money, and cannot be obtained unless the people of the county will pay for them. Undter the 'law of 1919, as much as 25 per cent of the salary fund may be raised by taxation for buildings, and if the neople of the county want these buildings enough to ask for the tax levy for them the Board of Education will next year provide for them. The people of Warren county deserve the best kind of schools, and ought to have them. ' Respectfully submitted, j J. EDWARD ALLEN, : , - County Superintendent. ohooD mm W. BARHAM DAVIS AND FA- CULT Y READY FOR WORK Number of Parents Present At Exercises; Co-operation Prom ised By Parents; Attendance Good ; Talk By Principal. The Warrenton State High School yesterday began its year's work un der direction of Supt. W. Barham Davis and his assistants Misses Louise Dowtin, Philena Macon, Mary Chauncey, Mariam Boyd, Sue Broom, Sallie Allen and Belle Dameron. The opening exercises were held in the Chapel in the presence of num bers of parents. In these exercises, in a. heart to heart chat with the pupils,. Prof. Davis expressed the xde-. sire that every child feel that he was their friend, that he was interested! in their individual problems, that he was there to help the pupils teach themselves. He expressed the belief that the entire corps of teachers felt the same way and plead that the scholastic year be entered by every pupil with this ideal in mind. He stressed the importarice of specializa tion with the statement that the de mand was keen for those who could c?o one thing well and pointed that the school was the means to become equipped for this greater service in the after-life. . Upon request of the principal Rev. C. A. Jones prayed for a successful scholastic year, uninterrupted by death or disease and with earnestness that in learning of books the lesson of the Greatest of Books would be come a part of each pupil's daily thought. Expressions of encourage- I mpnt sind fvt.pnrl ro-onernt.ion were offered by Mrs. W. A. Connell, Mrs. Howard F. Jones and W. Brodie Jones. , - . (, Following these exercises, the pupils returned to their various rooms where the work of class organization was begun. School work will be thorough ly organized by the end of the week. j Indications point to a very successful scnooi year. t i : Meeting Macon Community Club There will be a meeting of the Macon Community Club Friday after noon, September 12th, at 4 o'clock in the High School auditorium.

GREENVILLE DAILY NEWS ENDORSES HIS RECORD Looks For Wholesome Effect To Come From Able Charge To Jury; Government Spending More To Convict Than Educate The writer had occasion to be talk ing to two of Greenville's prominent citizens Saturday when the question of courts came up. One of these gen tlemen said that the session of the Pitt county superior court just closed was the only one within his knowledge of' several" years where, the business was transacted as it should be. The other gave it as his opinion that it was the most remarkable court in vears and that the county had never had a better set of grand juriors. These gentlemen were one in their opinion as to the charge of His Honor, Judge Kerr, to the grand jury, both stating without fear of contradiction that it was one of the cleanest, most uplifting andf learned charge heard in the Pitt county court house for a decade. The charge was based uDon a'-high plane of thought putting the citizenship on an elevated basis as was ever pointed out to the people. His Honor spoke of this, wonderful country, of ours, that California with all of its attractiveness, was far infer ior to North Carolina both as to ad- vantages and natural resources. A man in Iowa, told him, Judge Kerr that in his section there were about -. , . , A1 . they were a class of people of tha very highest standard of. morality and thrift and! that aH one of them had to do in going to 'a bank there for credit was to tell where they were from and credit" followed. This Iowaian stated that if the time ever arrived for him to leave his native state eastern Car olina would be his goal. His Honor in his charge touched upon the great subject of education and on . this point was particular im pressive and convincing. He stated that Unitec1 States government right now was spending $600,000,000 in or der to convicts persons of crime and only spending $300,000,000 for educa.- rounded man as being one mentally, morally and- physically complete, and stated, when either one of these failed it always effected the other two. The idea of the law should be to maintain and! develop these three essential things, he said. Along this high plane of thought Judge Kerr delivered a charge that will doubtlessly will have a wholesome effect upon all who heard it for years and years. His Honor not only endteavored to impress upon his hearers their mission in line as citizens hutjwhen those who had violated every right of good citi zenship by committing crime he did not fail to sentence them so as to make them think and! ponder a long time be fore they attempt its repitition. It is such charges as that delivered by Judge Kerr that does much indeed to elevate "mankind and make all bet ter citizens for not only themselves but their neighbors and families as well.- .Judge Kerr came to Greenville practically a stranger, perhaps a few members of the bar knowing him, but he today, we think, has hosts of friends throughout the county that will rejoice at all tims tvLtn he re -turns to presicfe over our uperisr court. No member on the superior court bench wears the judicial ermine with more ability. Fortunate would be the state if more judges of his stripe were on, the bench. If such were the case crimewould be on the down grade. V Miss Mary Alice Jones Passes Away ' Miss Mary Alice Jones, daughter of the late sheriff Nathaniel R. Jones, ot Warren county, passed! away at her home here Friday after feeble health of some months. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery Saturday morn ing, Rev. E. W. Baxter performed the ceremony. Many friends of this good woman are consoled with the confi dence that an eternal xenvard will come as the crown of a life so well spent. She was preceeded to the Great Be yond a few weeks ago by her brother, Mr. William Baskerville Jones. She is ' survived by one brother, Mr. Bob Jones, of Washington, D. C. Kb 7 Wit
