As Chief Green was returning a stick snapped under his foot and the distillers ran. ThifikinK that perhaps there were others at the still who didn't run on account of alcoholic stupor Chief Green and Deputy Robertson crepr forward, sometimes on hands and Inees. until they had wormed theii way to the still. The fast act of Deputy Robertson was to extinguish a lamp that was burning at the still. . Then the of ficers remained quiet. In a fev moments they heard footsteps rustl ing the leaves, followed by a cautious whistle. They answered the whistle. A voice called, "Willie". Muffling his voice, Robertson replyed "Come ahead." The brewer approached: Chief Green stepped out behind him and said, "You are our man, come ahead." The officers then sit down in the bushes and forced the captured man to sand. Hearing the second man approach the . fire was x punched. Seeing his comrade apparently tend ing the lire the second man rapidly approached. Chief Green stepped behind him and made the arrest. The officers then destroyed the beer and whiskey and brought the still and their prisoners to town. The c5-)tine .was affected about five o'clock. The captured men are Vance Har ris and Willie Pearce. Harris oper ates a small store just above the box mill, and has served time on the roads for selling whiskey. Yesterday af ternoon they were given a hearing before Justice F. B. Newell and bound over to September term Superior court under $100 bond. The still was made of two galvaniz ed tubs; the cap was a small milk cooler. A lead pipe ran from this to a copper worm. WE SAY AMEN! Xews and Observer. Representative Alice Robertson's speech advising her fellow-represent wives to make fewer and briefer speeches and thus'' save money for tilt government by reducing the size and fost of the Congressional Record, struck a responsive chord. It has re ceived much favorable comment. The worr;t offense in connection with the Congressional Record is' the leave-to-print privilege. This costs the government vast sums and usual ly to no purpose. It appears that anything a Congressman thinks inter esting or timely or diverting can be, he requests it, reproduced in the cnsressional Record. The theory is tllat the public, or that part of the' Public to which the Congressional ,ecord is accessible a very small Part of the public, by the way wants to know all that is being said about a g'ven subject of legislation. Such js probably not the case. This nw 6i !al cumbers the pages of the Con cessional Record and costs the tax Payws money that ought to be saved to them. The practice should be dis continued. ' MR.

HORTON FINED A case of unusual interest heard in the Recorder's Court" Mon day morning in the case of State against Gardner, Ray and N. A. Shearin for art assault on Dr. H. M: Horton, which case was' consolidated with the case of N. A. Shearin against Dr. Horton. A jury was demanded, and the following jurors were chosen, sworn and empaneled, to wit: W. T Duke, W. T. Felts, Alex H. Walker,' VV. S. Hirk-s J T XVA . . j t n ! j . iiuuu- auu x. x . Weaver. The Gardners were represented by Messrs. T. Polk and J. B. Palmer; Dr. Horton by Messrs. Charlie Daniel, of Weldon and Frank Gibbs of Warren ton and the State by Solicitor S. G. Daniel. The Court room was packed, be cause the case had provoked much in terest. The evidence was that the difficulty arose over an account for medical and professional service ren dered the Shearins by Dr. Horton, and the proper security for said ac count. Words terminated in blows in which Dr. Horton was damaged considerably from the effects of the fist or a rock (the Shearins denying the rock being used and the appear ance of the wounds upon the head and face of Dr. Horton indicating, accord ing to the contention of the attorneys for Dr. Horton a-condition which the fist could npt have inflicted). After- a hard fight over the. case, the jury retired and in a few minutes brought in a verdict that Dr. Horton was guilty of assault, and that the Sheains were not guilty. The Court imposed a fine of $10.00 and cost to be paid by Dr. Horton. JOINT MEETING OF BOARDS' The County Board of Commission ers and the County Board of Educa tion met Monday morning to take ac tion in reference to the continuation of the work of the Welfare Officer in this County. Under the new, law half of the county Welfare Officer's salary is paid by the County Board of Education, .and, this Jiajf so paid is not. a charge against the School funds locally, but is paid by the State. The County Commissionei-s, or the public fund of the county pays the other half. On motion of Mr. Ed ward Petar, seconded by Captain B. P. Terrell, Mr. Raymond R. Rodwell was elected for a term of two years and his compensation fixed as for last term $125.00 per month and ex penses, all members of the joint board voting therefor. Under the new law. in case theH County Commissioners refused to take part in the election, the duties of the County Superintendent of Pub Tic Welfare then devolve upon the County Superintendent of Public In struction, and he shall be, ex-officio. County Supt. of Public Welfare witlu out any additional salary to that al ready received as Supt. of Public In Education, with the approval of the struction; but the County Board of Board of County K Commissioners, shall furnish him (Supt. of Schools, with such clerical assistance as it deems necessary for him to have in order to comply with the Compulsoy School Attendance law in accordance with the rules and policy laid down by the State Board of Education; and the County Commissioners shall fur nish a reasonable-expense fund for carrying out the other duties attach ed by' law to the office of County Sup erintendent of Public Welfare. - Under these circumstances the County Commissioners felt that half of the expense of salary and expense fund would be more satisfactor to the tax payers; hence the unanimous action of the joint board.

WEEKLYEWM;k DEVOTED TO tHl3 INTBREiW iifr WARRENTON AKDgfiirfjQUNTY A LETTER FROM W. BRO WE JONES EDWARDSVILLE, ILL., June 2b Springfield, the capital and last rest ing place of Lincold, held us for sev eral hours Friday. On the trip from the Shamel home in Central Illinois we passed golden harvests fields, flanked with verdat corn. Hedges and trees broke the monotony of the wonderfully fertile plains. The - Illinois roads, splendid in dry weather, had become as slick as the red mud of lower Warren. A series of showers changed the black loam roadbed, where it had not been oiled, into a heavy and treacherous surf a. Fifty miles out relief came when struck an asphalt road. With the motor in perfect tune we breezed over the increasingly rolling country side to Springfield. . At the main entrance to the Cap itol a bronze Lincoln i stood. To the right fifty yards away Stephen Doug las held his own against weather and time far better than against the. sound logic and terse oratory of Mr. Lincoln at the time of the Lincoln Douglas debates in the late fifties. Upon a knoll sixty yards from the street the Capitol of Illinois formed an impressive background for the statutes of these able sons. Shade and terrace blended the details into one picture. A mile drive through shaded streets carried us to Oak Ridge. Two hun dred yards further the Lincoln monu ment stood in the center of a grass plot in this beautiful kept cemetery. Circular walks invited closer inspec tion. From each corner of the base of the monument, built twenty feet high, different war statutes impress ed. In the center a, seventy-five foot column, flanked with the names of the States of the Union, pierced the darkening sky. On the western side in a concrete vault Lincoln rested. His family was buried in the same place. Upon the Lincolrr crypt his words "with mal ice towards none, with charity for air.-told -the value of that character which so nobly guided America in the days of its greatest trial. On the eastern side the relic room contained autographed letters, sur veying instruments, and personal ef fects. Above the entrance the fa mous Gettysburg address "fourscore and seven years ago," etc. stood in bronze. The northern end was solid. Step? lead to the base from the southern end, inviting closer inspection of this tribute, erected in 1868 by contribu tions from all America. - We drove past the Court House in which Lincoln often spoke. It was at that time the Capitol. His home is kept for inspection. We were unable to get any further than the front porch because it was after hours. The home " was a two story r structure, painted brown. It stood near the streets, with a large shaded backyard. Near the railway station a monu ment erected by the D. A. It. bore the farewell message to the people of Springfield, Feb. 11, 1861: "My friends, no one not in my situ ation, can appreciate my feelings of .sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of this people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have pass ed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. Now I leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return; with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that divine Being who ever attended him, I can not succeed. With that assistance, I cannot tail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with. you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affection ate farewell." More mud delayed us in the run to Edwardsville. We reached there at 4 o'clock Saturday. Yesterday and today we enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Myer, an aunt and uncle of the boys. ST: LOUIS, June 27. This morn ing we pulled across the Mississsippi into the 800,000 city. We visited the Globe Democrat office and the Post Dispatch. Our reception was cordial. The Dispatch is a Pulitzer paper. Its editor is a brother of .Ralph-Pulitzer (Continued On Page Four) COUNTY TO HAUE i&E TREATMENT 4- Abut this time of the year typhoiu fever begans to make itself noticeable.;- Here and there all over th? county cases appear. The summer months, June, July and August are the bad months for typhoid.-Septem-ber is little better. Flies furnish a mighty easy method of transmitting the disease from family to family. The people of this county are going- to have an opportunity this summer f ffeitmff Protection against typhoid. The Board of County Commissioners have made arrangements with the State Board of Health for free dis pensaries to be conducted in conven lent places throughout the county. That typhoid fever can be prevent ed has been amply proved right here in North Carolina Carolina. In 1914 there! were 839 deaths in the State from 'Jhis cause. Last year there were improved sanitation and vaccinatum are the reason. Typhoid fever is the most easily prevented of all the preventable dis eases., Anti-typhoid vaccination give; protection for at least three years, and may be taken without inconven ience or ill effects. That is why the County Commissioners have a'rrang ed f of-the free dispensaries this sum mer. j - - The treatment is harmless and practically without pain. It causes no sole arms or unpleasantness after effects. It will not stop a person from engaging in any ordinary work The treatment is given hvpodermical ly in the left arm. Three does must be taken to be effective. A person so vaccinated is immune from typhoid fever' for at least three years. The Board of Commissioners have arranged with Drs. Rodgers, Macon Holt and Morton to administer the treatment in this county. The anti typhoid vaccine is supplied free by the State Board of Health. There will fee no charge made and all the people, young and old, white and black, rich and poor, are urged- to take advantage of the opportunity thus" offered The place and time of each free dispensary will be announced at an early date. RICHMOND COUPLE MARRY IN FAMOUS OLD CHURCH A rather romantic marriage was solemnized in the Episcopal church here Monday afternoon when Miss Mary F.-French of Richmond became the bride of Mr. Earl C. Owen also of that city. The young couple arrived in War renton early Monday afternoon but on account of their ages-they had difficul ty in securing the marriage license. Their predictiment aroused the sym pathy of Capt. George Harrison, bach elor, and he straightway began to ar . range for a wedding party. They phoned to Richmond and secured the consent of the bride-to-be's grand father to the wedding. Then the li cense was secured. Meanwhile Capt. Harrison had call ed on his friends and made arrange ments for a wedding in the historical old Episcopal church in which ovei half century ago Horace Greeley was married. Here Mrs. John C. Burwell played a wedding march as the -jiappy young couple proceeded up the aisle to the altar where Rev. E. W; Baxter, Rector of the church, spoke the words that made them man and wife. As they left the church they were show ered with rice and good wishes by a number of Jieir newly made friends. After the t ceremony the youn& couple accompanied Mr." and Mrs. John C. Burwell home where a delic ious supper awaited them. They left on a night train for a northern trip. The good wishes of Warrenton peo ple follow them in their journey to gether, down the pathway of life.

FITTS The Greensboro News .carried the very interesting news about our for mer fellow-county man, Captain F. M. Fitts, which we publish below. Captain Frank M. Fitfs is known and loved by the people of Warren, among whom he was born and u. whom he is related by blood and mar riage. The article" follows r Capt. F. M. Fitts, 80-year-old Con federate veteran, at present living w the city, was at the first battle .of Manassas and heard General Bee make the immortal remark about Jackson which -resulted in General Jackson's being forever known as "Stonewall." Capt. Fitts was with the 30th North Carolina infantry but at Manassas he was temporarily with the 4th Alabama. He states that the four Alabama had been forced to re treat and that their coloneL had been killed when General Barnard E. Bee rode up to where he was and pointing to a hill nearby he said to the Ala bama regiment, "There stands Jack son on that hill like a stonewall. If you'll follow me I'll take you where the fire is going on." Captain Fitts states that the regiment did follow Bee and administered such a licking to the enemy that it was one of the greatest routs that he ever witnessed MACON ROUTE 2 ITEMS The cool breezes of Monday night wre most welcome.

J. TAYLOR I saw a bud of beauty fair, That seemed to hold a flower. I turned, and lo! the bud was gone It 'wither'd in an hour. And then I cried in plaintive moan, "Why did creative power Bring forth the bud, and let it die Before it burst in flower? "And why, oh! why do human buds So often fail to bloom, Aard have their life and beauty lost In death's relentless tomb?" I beard a whisper, soft and low, Say: "Look beyond the tomb, Where human buds in land of light For evermore shall bloom "Shall grow and b'oom thro endless years, And precious fruit shall bear; Shall see God's face, and be like Him, And never shed a tear." The above is dedicated by the au thor to MOSES CAMERON, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Winston, who died on May the 24th, 1921. Mrs. G. B. Gregory has arrived in Warrenton from Richmond.
