TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9 ,1919 Number 97 A SEMI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF WARRENTON AND WARREN COUNTY Farmers of the county will receive t returns for their presence here ? S'day. ft is ever a source of g00 to i In from others that things it will ofit one to know. Keen insight will prke a cooperative unit when doubt 01 d distrust flounder in darkness.' The true test of man is now how much or how little one may know, but is one's willingness to learn and to buil for greater and mutually worth while ends. "lt is along this path alone that civi lization has marched to achievement thru the channel of the mind and the same old receipt will hold good for all time. The willingness to go ahead a the courage to try have melted! many an obstacle and made all thingsj practically possible. To venture naught is to gain noth ing. The farmers of this county can pot have an association worth a pro verbial pinch of salt unless they will fcave the vision, the perspective and the spirit to make the association a power by bringing their influence and their support in its behalf. If the association was the success it is destined to be there would be no trouble in obtaining the membership of the entire county of all farmers, business and professional men eligible, but in its present status there is a ten dency to hang back and let George do it! Stand out for the organization of the association and for the meeting here Friday. Come early. , Make it "a great day for Warren and for you. Nature is Heaven's augury. 'Why do you want to get in a hogs head when you already rattle in a bucket?" One of the Southern General's ad vice to his children: "Learn to ride, to ' shoot and t speak the truth' Stentz is an advocate of long face religion you learn from attending his song services. He's down on the per pendicularly long countenance but the parallel long face in his specialty smile and you catch the point. The stillness of the solemnity of the occasion held the congregation in rapt attention as hte divine in the mar riage ceremony of a certain popular yt-ung couple asked: ''Who gives this woman away ? ' "I do," said the old man, the step father of the young lady whose past life just audibly forced the fa miliar Biblical quotation "it is more blessed to give than to receive."

POINT SERIES OF SERMONS DRAW STILL LARGER CROWDS Entire Town and County Keenly Interested In Word As Voiced By Evangelist Who Flays The Ways of the Devil Relentlessly Pleaing f orintelligent, consistent Christianity Dr. Thurston B. Price is drawing the largest crowds which have ever gathered here continuously for any purpose. The Court House is crowded for services and people ac tually, have turned away on account of lack of seats. Inspirational but with al logical messages with the power of lasting influence have proceeded from the platform and lodged in the heart end mind not only of Warrenton but of the county whose representation in the meeting has been increasingly good. The song service under the direction of Mr. J. Dale Stentz have carried their wealth of meaning to many. The rich, full and! masterly trained voice of Mr. Stentz tells in appealing song the story of; the Cross and the love of Christ. Not only as a soloist but greater as a singer who gets his audience to Scat ch the significance of the song service is Mr. Stentz force fully filling a great part of the meet ing which has the community in its grip. He sets his audience to feel their portion in the service by obtain ing their vocal support in the musical numbers which are' sung with -a spirit and verve which never previous has animated the people who are attend ing the services. "The Trail of An American Boy" presented Friday night was a compar ison of life with a railroad! from which spur tracks with distraughting, sinful and pleasure-blind lures, lead ,the youth from the main line of christian life. Dr. Price figurtively travelled the road and placed danger signals at the sidings, am! made the plea for a consecrated, true life which would carry the soul Home. Saturday night the evangelist plead for an early "allegiance to Christ un der the subject "Missing Life's Great est Opportunity." The importance of this early acceptance of christian re ligion was strikingly presented by ex amples forcefully impressive. At the close of the service over seventy peo ple went to the altar for renewed con secration to the Cross. Sunday morning bfore a crowd from all over the county Dr. Price plead for the reinstatement of the family altar, a closer adherence to the faith of our forebears, and the resumption of family life in the church. His mes sage touched a" vital point in its ap peal for this form of worship which has been discarded to a great extent but which is the very crux of a chris tian relationship. "Hypocrites Or Why Some Men Don't Join The Church" was the theme of the Sunday night discourse. Because of the failure in law and med icine, no man is fool enough to dis credit these great profession which have built their perpetuity through service, yet hypocrites, scoundrels, and failures are often found in the ranks of the professions. Evidently people were intellectually dishonest who claimed that they didn't join the church .because there were hypocrites in the church while they still endors ed the house of God and! its purposes. f'Certainly," Price admitted that, "Hy pocrites were in the church but could any one, intellectually nonest, mue hehind this as an excuse for failure to support thru membership the organiz ed effort of the church ot uoa. Last nieht the evangelist struck the keynote of widespread approval in his sermon, "The Meanest Man In War ren County." Dr. Price scored heavily the ingratewho forgot the love ana mercy of God! and pursued the even tenor of ones way with the assertion "every man is a law unto himself:' I'll live as I please." Helassed such man an anarchist against the author ity of God and painted such as i;he meanest man under Heaven's canopy.

By a recent action of the Negro Women's Club of North Carolina, a campaign has been planned for Decem ber 8th to 20th; Mrs. Charlotte Haw kins Brown, Principal of Palmer Me morial Institute at SecJalia, is Presi dent of this movement. The purpeso of this campaign is to raise funds for the purchasing of prop erty, including lands and buildings, to be established as a Home and School for the wayward colored youths of North Carolina. I am sure we all see the urgent need of a school of this kind to save our 'youths from the jails and the chain-gang. Every colored person of every coun ty in the State is earnestly asked to help supply this our greatest need. Do you know thatwhenever the judge sen tences a white child, that a white man or woman Is there to take him to such a school provided for him by the white women of North Carolina, while our boys and girls, are led to the jails and county roads? Why should they not have another chance? If we do our part by them in co-operating in this campaign, they shall have anothee chance to redeem themselves. A piece of property has been bar gained for near Hillsboro for the Re form School for our wayward! children; and each person is asked to give not less than $1.00. If we do our part the State is going to help us. Our ministers can do. the cause tre mendous good, and we therefore ask their hearty co-operation by bringing this matter before their congregations on the first Sunday after their atten tion is brought to this. We earnestly request them to speak at length in favor of this move on the part of the Colored Women's Clubs. Yours for racial advancement, . MARY M. GARNES, Supervisor of Colored Schools, Warren County. JOSEPH H. HUDSON, B. THORNTON.

To Jeanes Supervising Teachers: Personally, I have been very much interested in some effort to establish just this kind of an Institution.

This undertaking, I am confident, will appeal both to your sympathy and to your judgement. Let me urge that you take the matter to your County Superintendent and ask his approval of the plan, and also if p.e is willing for you to use the time as requested by Mrs. Brown.

Lt-GolPendle-ton Honored The following clipping from the News and Observer is received with interest by the people of the town and county where Dr. Pendleton is well known. He is a son of Mrs. V. L. Pendleton, a much beloved citizen of Warrenton, and a brother of Mrs. Katharine P.: Arrington. Dr. Pendleton, who volunteered early in the war, attained the highest rank in the medical service, Lieut Colonel, and the recognition of his ability by the Government in the days of peace is a striking compliment to bis efficient service and ability so well manifest in the time of strife. His friends take pridfe in his appointment The clipping. "The friends of Dr. A. S. Pendleton will- be glad to know that his usual qualities as a specialist in nervous dis eases has received national recogni tion. Information reached Raleigh on yeterday that Dr. Pendleston, having accepted a commission as senior sur geon in the United States Health Ser vice, is being stationed for the present in Washington, on temporary duty. It is understood that he will have charge of the United! States Hospital for nervous and mental cases at Hel ena, Montana. "Dr. Pendleton is a native North Carolinian having been born at War renton. He practiced medicine at Warrenton, Roanoke Rapids and Hen- cerson. From Henderson he came to Raleigh, and after a short time tfas appointed specialist in the State Hos pital here,' where he developed an un usual genius for the treatment of nervous and mental cases. He volu teered when the United States entered! the war, giving up his position in the State Hospital, and the nature of his work was such that he was promoted to Lieut, Colonel, the highest posi tion in reach of one enlisted in the medical service. He spent many months in France treating nervous and mental cases amongst the leaders. "The position of senior surgeon in the United States Health Service is one of the most coveted "positions among nerve specialists in the gift tf our nation. Dr. Pendleton has won this recognition by actual service. "It is greatly to be regretted that be and his family are leaving North Carolina. Capture Moonshin er On Lively Run Chief E. L. Green acting as special deputy of the county and Mr. W. C. Ellington, deputy sheriff and Mr. D. L. Robertson, special deputy, figured Friday night in a successful raid upon an illicit distillery in the Grove Hill section and not only de stroyed the products of the moon shiners but came home with one of them. Word was received here early Fri day night and the officers left quietly for the scene. Upon arrival in the vi cinity Messrs. Green and Robertson came down on the still from one di rection while Mr. Ellington was sta tioned below to keepquiet and nab the person who attempted to escape. The ruse worked beautifully. Green and Robertson approaching thru the undergrowth came upon a colored man, armed with a shot gun '.and acting as sentinel. The command "Hands up" didn't phase the darkey who broke into a system of rapid transit deemed necessary by the oc casion. The officers fired in the air and shouted "look out" their mes sage to Ellington the big darkey evi dently was doing his best to look out and clear out when he ran into Mr. Ellington who with a trusty gun de manded "Halt, drop that gun!" He halted, dropped it, and was taken into custody by the officers who were in close pursuit. The negro was Jim Williams, con victed of a similar offense some years ago, and! sentenced , to the Federal penitentiary. He, was tried Saturday before Justice John W. Allen, placed under a six hundred dollar bond, ana lodged in the county jail. Several barrels of beer were de stroyed and part of the still wrecked!. The worm and cap could not be found nor could Williams' assistant though the surmise is that he was another colored-man of that locality. These officers of the law are getting the goods and Warren is to see a re duction in the moonshining business cr an enlarged jail. DR.
