rM f J3M i u VOLUME XXVI. WARRENTON WINS FROM COKESBURY Takes Interesting Game By 6-3 Score At League Park Wednesday Afternoon GOOD FIELDING FEATURES Town Scores Three In First And Two In Third? Coleman Does Good Work Until Seventh; Sidelights On The Game. By W. BRODIE JONES Lanky Cokesbury trooped into town Tuesday for a clash with the Moore Gillam aggregation of town stars, and after the smoke of the fray de parted with the small end of a 6-3 score. The town team, shamed by the de feat upon a former visit, went to the plate in the first with determination to camp on the majority end of the score sheet. Before the initial frame ended Brother Stainback knew his pitching laurels were withering. . Winston started the horsehide pounding with a clear single, Mana ger Moore fanned, but Brother Jim connected- for a base hit, advancing Winston to third. John W. I Booth, fresh with the glory of a nifty catch in the Littleton encounter and keen for the thrill of achievement; slugged one through short and center for three bases. Wnston and Moore crossed the rubber and Booth only failed to be in the Babe Ruth class because of slow leg work. Falkener followed W. Moore lead, but Booth was helped home by Shorty Gillam's tap over the infiel'd. An infi'ed out ended the inning after four hits and three runs. Cokesbury went out in order before the portside dlivery of Coleman. Warrenton. second frame resulted in no scoring. Coleman gave the oppo sition three goose eggs. The town came back in the third with two more runs. J. Moore took one in the ribs, Falkener advanced Mcoe to seY-urd and was safe at first an an infield error. Milton Casey iappod a stiff one to short and while the pick-up was clean, judgment was bad and as the pill was tossed about frantically Falkener and , J. Moore raced over the rubber. In Cokesbury's half of the fifth T. Stainback landed for the first safety against Coleman but was held at the second sack. Until the seventh no runner on either side crossed the pan. In the stretching seventh Cokes bury's W. and C. Stainback started a rally with two singles. Coleman hit another visitor, filling the bases, and when his offering to shortstop Reavis was pounded for two bases, scoring the Stainback brothers, Gillam order ed a change of tactics. Coleman went to the dog house and Loyd and Gay supplanted Moore and Coleman. J. Moore was order to third. W. Moore went to the bench and Duke Jones took rightfield vacated by Gay. The shift steadied the team and confidence came when Loyd breezed three by the next batter.- A hit over second scor ed Reavis but the-next two men were out on infield taps and the hopes of the visitors nipped. In the eight the town scored anoth er run after two players were safe on infield blunders. McGuire's sec ond hit of the day gave the town its sixth and last run. In the eighth and ninth the visitors were down in one two three order.

One with the baseball inclination wants to be in the game from the start as the pill bounds so ti'ue over the even surface. Its a credit to the town; a monument to seme eighty hard work by, the -fellows. Brings back the old days of the Graham Athletic field and calls to mind Scott, Polk, Meadows, the Stewarts, Brennegan and others. The M time fever for the sport which made Warrenton a popular ball town years ago still vibrates. . Winston's coup yesterday and his opportune toss to Booth left the GREEN INVITES THE TRIE; WHAT'S ONE INDIAN TO A CHIEF? By JOSEPH A. FLEITZER "Why bother with one Indian? Bring on a tribe," said Chief E. L. Green Wednesday in response" to a summons from Road Commissioner Frank Allen to quell an Indian up rising near Warrenton. Where are the intrepid Daniel Boones of Warren County? To arms, youth ot Warrenton! The halycon days when Tuscaroras and Cherokee stalked their quarry through the forests of North . Carolina have re turned. Some colored persons reported to. Mr. Allen that an Indian had come 'out of the woods on the road to Hen derson and had questioned them. The redskin, according to the description given Mr. Allen, was bedecked in all the accourterment familiar to specta tors at the movie thrillers. With a 'headdress of green, yellow and red f feathers falling far below his waist- 'line; with moccasined feet and rein- 'deer skin leggings , and a tomahawk which was waved wildly through the air, the Indian threw fear into the hearts of those who saw him. But the younger generation of War- ren County Indian hunters will be 'disappointed to learn that the Brave had discarded his bow and arrows in favor of a modern pistol which hung f efficiently at his side. It was later ascertained that the "Redskin" was a white man who, for his personal edification, frequently resorts to masquerading in peculiar attire. County Superintendent's Office Closed I shall be out of the office on June 14-15-16, and fjom June 21 to July 2. All who have business with this of fice to be transacted before July 4 will please take it up before the office is closed. It is requested that all school bills of all kinds be presented for payment, so that no unfinished business may be left over when the school year closes on July first. J. EDWARD ALLEN, County Superintendent. Cokesbury man in a daze at second as Poindexter called him out. His fake fumble worked perfectly. Long Kep grabs the pills at first somewhat like lanky Kelly of the Giants, but he can't ;swat the horse hide quite as heavily as. this second Babe Ruth. - Alvin Harton, a Cokesbury fielding star, smashed ;nto the rightfield fence in practice nd was gnashed for two inches above the left eye and bruised painfully on the knee. He was on the side lines during the game after. Dr. Peete's five stitches and was apparently anxious to go to the aid of his team mates. Capt. Terrell, Wiley Coleman, Prof. Nanney and others from over the County gave the old color to the game and ere on the side lines with their accustomed good nature and interest. Gay in rightfield nipped a rally with a spectacular catch early in the game and Duke Jones who followed him in that garden gathered one similar on the run. Shades of the old race track and the halycon days of cocktails and racehorses evidently threw a spell over the ballfield for the attendance was splendid. The group of ladies in the grandstand recalled pleasantly that the famed beauty of the Ox South lives in the daughters of today. The boys have to practice says the pill directors.- Good all know that it is the only way to develop a win ning team. . - Joe Stainback forgot crop troubles yesterday and to see himcut up be hind first in the Cokesbury rally one would have thought that cotton was at forty cents. He was a lusty sup porter of his charges from lower Vance and especially interested in his son at second and his nephews, Way land, Clyde and Herbert, the pitcher, catcher and third baseman. He root ed hard and his repartee gave Jack Palmer, P. D. Dowtin and Al Blalock good chances to come back with some hard shots rand they did. Best of luck fefews swat 'em hard and may the gang bring home the big end of the score in every en-counter! WARKENTON, WARREN C0UNTY, N. A tVBEKLrNEWS AFEIb BE VOTED TO THE iNTtllESTS OF WARRENTON AND"WARRM COITNTY Pollyanna Herbert Jones end Jeromebeauty Royste r Marry At Cjera House Tabernacle By W. BRODIE JONES v Pollyanna Jones and Jeromebeauty Royster were tied into wedlock at 9 Wednesday evening in the War- renton Opera House Tabernacle by the humorous words of Rev. Rastus Dolittle Splittlemon Booth, P. D. Q. The bridal party numbered cork ing examples of Southern beauty from the confines of the town. The frills and furbelows which ornamented masculine shanks sent the town folks who knew them into gales of mirth. The old fashioned wedding with the colored mammy and bashful Rastus, with the attendance garner ed from foreign corners of the world bringing all eccentricities, with cos tumes funny in their absurdity and forms beautiful in their repression, gave Warrenton an evening of un preceridenfed entertainment. It shed new light upon dispositions hitherto unknown for the streak of boyishness which were a part of the characters. Master of ceremonies Pipkin, in his absurd, tie and twelve-inch too much coat tail, announced the bridal party. A. J. Ellington, P. M. Allen and John L. Perry led the party to the stage. The entree of the cast from the rear of the Tabernacle under Direc tor Mrs. Frank Allen kept the au dience turned half the time in. their seats to miss not a glance of the buxom damsels of the evening. Every eye followed the cultivated pace which supplanted the stride of the masculine. Alma Gluck Baxter injected the romance of an active stage career into the ceremony by surreptitiously osculatory remembrances upon the bald pates of the more handsome guests , near the aisles. Her exuber ant nature later effervesced in song in an effort to sustain a vocal repu tation. Irrepressive young Rastus Rodgers broke from the apron string of Ma Wharton Moore and both clogged to the tune of Rev. Isaacsmiles Davis r arid the Eastern Star gets the re banjo: Applause died only momen-' mirider.- :'-' r .r,rrz Warrenton, The Town Of A New Yorker By JOSEPH A. FLEITZER Special Correspondent United Press Warrenton, the town omplete, greets the New Yorker with many surprises. He expects to find the proverbial southern community or anticipates the bane of all smug salesmen from the Metropolis, the "hick town." He finds, instead, one of the biggest lit tle towns in the Union. " The New Yorker, who has visited towns within a radius of a few hun dred r.nles of Columbus Circle, knows that Main Street usually means mud. He vonders whether he should put Mmins on his car before' driving through Warrenton. He is disillu sioned. He soon learns that nothern communities have much to learn from southern towns. Let the north ern street commissioners visit War renton' and see a Main Street with paving equal to that of Fifth Avenue, j The nrst glimpse ox nn MivvrM&".7 "big town" street convinces the visi tor that the citizens of Warrenton are "live wires." But after a few hours in this pro gressive town the New Yorker learns that the term live wires is inadequate in describing these North Carolinans who, unlike Northerners, are not con tent with merely petitioning and hopeful waiting but go out and get that which they want. The "New Yorker who petitions for improvements and then thankfully accepts whatever the political and in dustrial powers deem fit to grant him, should learn from Warrenton how to get -what he wants and not be content unless he gets his share in full. The tables are turnedi It is no longer the languid Southerner, but the lackadaisical Northerner. Where in the North will one find a commun ity which, unable to induce the rail road to run a spur, builds its own railroad? Warrenton needed power and light; she raised $40,000 and built a modem electric plant. The public "school building was found inadequate; bonds were issued which will insure the younger generations an education as good as any offered in the public GiTHlDAYrTUNEnuOll tary for soon hefty Mac, serene Shorty, and complacent John B. Bur well, fully conscious of their short skirts and tiny socks, daintily toss ed flowers right and left as they passed to the altar. Atastus D. S. Booth delivered his famous- sermon before the ceremony. His discourse warned against the wiles of the devil and the infatuation of; sin; His sonorous voice mimiced the pet sermon-tone of a colored pas tor at big meeting. The house rock ed with mirth. And while it was rocking the seven foot bride, apparently elongated with a frock of white and followed by a thirty foot train, sedately approached the martial state. She advanced to the ceremony on the arm of her short, good natured father, Whisker WKidd. At the altar Jeromebeauty, not bol stered by Bourbon, faltered as he gazed into the face of his bride to be. His nerves drew taut but man iully he accepted her. Long Jones murmured a weak "I do" and Brother Booth tied the Gordian Knot which only death or Reno can cure. (Dainty P. D. Dowtin, innocently charming in sailor garb, was ring bearer- Mrs. Paderewski W. Price clumsily kicked the recessional march from the ivories and the bridal party left the Tabernacle. Among those con- spicious in the ceremony were Pene lopylean Macon, Matildavinegai4 Gard ner, Obediahsweet Burroughts, Pea chiesweet Walters, Gehisasourcrout Gregory, Switchum Green, and Miss Jennylynn Burwell. The happy coulpe will take their honeymoon in Warrenton. The bride is a former tobacconist and is now )w a room member of the S. O. R. The gn is in the tune business. Proceeds from the wedding were $182.25 less expense of $23.10. Half ofi the funds go to the baseball club Complete; jViews t In Town For A Day schools throughout the country. Tht health of the. community required cold storage facilities; Warrenton built a modern ice plant. The hotel which in the near future will bring added prosperity to the- town is unique in that it is owned by the cit izens. These Southerners believe in doing things right, so 'they are build ing a hotel the equal of which is not to be found in any town of its size in the United States, except in places which are frankly pleasure resorts. Gazing into the future, one sees com mercial travelers arranging their routes so as to spend the night "in Warrenton, where they will findc a metropolitan hotel with all the fa cilities provided for visitors to big towns. The completed hotel will give Warrenton more publicity than full page advertisements in metropol itan dailies. But even more amazing than the civic progressiveness 41 Warrenton is the human element. The New York er, accustomed to obscurity and often loneliness an the big - city, derives zest from the cordial salutations and the warm hospitality of this little community. He finds himself in a new world; a world of hearty hand clasps, of voices which bespeak gen erosity, of smiles which radiate friendship, and of eyes which beam with cordiality. He who thinks he has seen life, learns that he is just be ginning to live. And as he stays in this natural at mosphere, the New Yorker learns that Nature is not something prohibi tive, something withheld from him by "Keep off the grass" signs. Cen tral Park is magnificent, it is true. But it fades into insignificance when contrasted with the lawns and fields of Warrenton. "Rest on Mother Earth," the War renton greenswards whisper to the pavement weary New Yorker. "One' dollar or one day," says the Judge to the New Yorker who has dared to trespass in Central Park. The New Yorker, gazing through florists' windows, has grown accus tomed to thinking of 'flowers as" in separable from pots. In Warrenton VISITING JOURNALISTS PRACTICE THEORIES OF THE SCHOOL YER By HOWARD F. JONES We welcome to our sanctum Mr. Joseph A. Fleitzer, Special Represent ative of the United Press and student Columbia School of Journalism. Mr. Fleitzer was four years in Germany, Russia, Austria ana Scandinavia. At the outbreak of the World War he re turned to the United States and join ed the Engineering Corps.- His home is Alttona, Pennsylvania: Mr. Dixon Shamel, A. B, Columbia University, 1921. He is a representa tive of the Disteel Wheel Corporation of Detroit. His home is Gibson City, 111.: Mr. C. A. Shamel, President Junior Class Columbia School of Journalism. Mr. Shamel was formerly with Brad street and now represents Editor and Publisher. Mr. Shamel is, connected with the Science Service of Washing ton: Mr. W. Brodie Jones, Columbia School of Journalism. Mr. Jones represents Newspaper Personal' Ser vice, 385 Broadway, New York. These young gentlemen are tlu guests of Mr. W. Brodie Jones while in Warrenton. They leave this morn ing for a Ford tour embracing the following places: Raleigh to Western Carolina; Mammoth Cave, Ky.; Chi cago, St. Louis, Alburquerque, Pike's Peak, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Vancouver, B. C, Lake Louise, Alberta, Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Des Moines, Cleveland, Toledo, Niagra Falls. They expect to reach New York City, October 1. Among the noted towns on this itin ary we remind the Highway Commis sion is the great and delightful town of Warrenton, North Carolina. These young gentlemen all train ed in newspaper work have been re quested by the Editor and Publisher of The Record, Mr. Bignall Jones; to edit and publish this edition of The Warren Record. We are quite sure that this edition will show their effic ient handiwork. he rapturously" gae unfolding their natural beauties to all who would look and enjoy. Truly, he is learning that the new life is a beautiful thing. And of its spiritual guidance War renton may well be proud. It is sel dom that even in larger communities, one finds ministers with the person alities, the ability, the oratorical powers and the perception of these Warrenton leaders. One hears ser mons which would delight and iny spire New York congregations. But in addition to the splendid sermons tjie Warrenton churchgoer receives that which is denied the worshipper in New York, a cordial handclasp from the clergyman at the church door; a handclasp which warms the soul as well as the heart and does more to ilstil a love for the brother hood of man than do all the sermons spoken from the most magnificent cathedrals on the Avenue. The New Yorker enjoys his athle tic clubs and his Polo Grounds. But where is there in the United States a town of the size of Warrenton which can boast an entertainment center so thoroughly equipped as is the Mili tary Club? Going to the ball park the visitor anticipates crowds of rooters encroaching on the base lines. Instead, he sees an enclosed ball park with a grandstand unequalled in many towns, much larger than War renton. In the realm of amusements, the Warrentonian has a theatre which presents the best of the films exhibit ed in New York. The New 'Yorkt with many theatres, encounters poor entertainment as often as he finds that which is worth while. In War renton, he finds motion pictures which are carefully selected from the best that Broadway has to offer. Today, Warrenton is fighting for a highway. The contest will be bitter and there is a chance that the high way may be lost to the town. But the New Yorker," having seen what War renton has done in the past, feels con fident that the citizens of this pro gressive town have not lost their abil ity to get that which they want. He knows that on his next visit this big little town will have another sur prise to offer, a highway which shall connect the county seats of the State with Main Street. And then War renton will truly be the town com plete. f On to Littleton and to victory! Number 23 CLINIC TREATING SCHOOL CHILDREN High School Building Converted Into Hospital With Many Taking The Treatment OPERATING UNDER ETHER Work Under Direction of The State Board of Health Co-operating With the County Board of Education. By CLARENCE A. SHAMEL More than four score school chil dren living in Warren county are tak ing advantage of the free clinic held at the old high school building this week for the treatment of diseased and enlarged tonsils and adenoids. This work is made possible under the State Board of Health operating in conjunction with the State School authorities. One of North Carolina's foremost nose and throat specialists, Dr. Gibson, of Raleigh, is performing the operations over the State with continued success. Dr. W. D. Rodgers,- of Warrenton, is administering the anaesthesias. A corps of eight trained nurses ac company Dr. Gibson from place to place where the clinics are opened, as sisting and watching the patients un til they are taken to their homes a day or two after the operations. Miss Birdie Dunn who is in charge of the clinic in Warrenton said yes terday: "During the, school year a nurse sent out from Raleigh visits each of the schools in the county and makes an inspection. A child who is afflicted with adenoids usually falls behind the other members of the class because the nose becomes clogged preventing perfect respiration. A child- so affect ed, suffers headaches and is much more susceptible to colds and catar rahal inflammations. Should the ade noids remain in the nose the child might become deaf and fall prey to more serious diseases. "Enlarged tonsils are as serious, even more dangerous, perhaps, than kdenoidaldisordrsrrcvithc-school -c!:l! dren. In many cases tonsils and ad enoids trouble the same child. Cough ing and choking are the diagnosing characteristics of swollen tonsils. As the child develops and grows older the tonsils expand making a greater sur face upon which diptheria and other troublesome throat disease germs lodge, causing grave illness. . "On Tuesday of this week," con tinued Miss Birdie Dunn, "Dr. Gibson operated on twenty-one patients, on Wednesday twenty-four. Thursday we expect about the same numbei. This clinic will be kept open for one extra day and I expect the final num ber will reach very close to eighty." Miss Dunn, State Board of Health School Nurse spent several months last year making inspections in War ren County. She made provisions for the emergency hospital in the old high school building. Comfortable cots were installed in the building. The emergency arrangement has all the ear marks of a permanent ho. pital. In 1918 this work was started in Raleigh. An appropriation of $50, 000 by the State Legislature specific. 1 that an inspection was to be made of all the school children over the State and small temporary clinics arranged at certain intervals in the year to facilitate operations for nasal and throat disorders. A free dental clin ic was also included under the appro priation. About a year ago Dr. S. L. Bobbitt held a similar establishment at the school building where many of the children were able to have their teeth examined and treated. These clinics are held simultaneous ly over different parts of the State. More than twenty of the best spec ialists in North Carolina have volun teered their services to the State Board of Health. Two weeks ago a clinic similar to the one here was installed in Gates, a week later in Washington, N. C. North Carolina was one of the first States to adopted this plan of provid ing free treatment for school children. Dr. G. M. Cooper, Director of Medi cal Inspection of the State of North Carolina is accredited with originat ing the arrangement. .This work ia being followed out in New York State and in Virginia to a certain extent but in a somewhat different manner. Under the arrangement used in North Carolina, children from the ,age of six to twelve are given treat- Continued On Page Four
