we drove SO miles to Banff, the center
of the Canadian Rockies: Banff is a
pretty town of 100 in. Winter, but now
a city. "Tourists are liere" from every
where and the modern hotels, luxur

perous from New York arid others
not so fat and prosperous possibly
from other sections.
The mountains seem to be front

a river whips into foam as it cascades
over falls. Snowy peaks, often fring

and tourists cars romp from, one point
of interest to added thrills at another.
The town now boasts its annual pow

a regular war-paint parade preceding
it. Tonight they held a war danc
down town. Tomorrow will be given
to similar amusements and at night
they return to the Reservation.
We are-leaving in themorning for

It rained last night and tonight, but
we are hospitably entertained by a

WARREN BAPTIST
S. S. CONVENTION
The Warren County Baptist Sun
day School Union met at Macon last
Sunday with a full attendance and n
program full of enthusiasm. The
morning session began with an at
tendance that packed the churchy and
.interest grew as the sessions pro
gressed, until the very close when it
was voted to hold the next session at
Sulphur Springs Church on October
30, 1921.
All of the officers were present and
all of the fourteen Baptist Sunday
schools in the county except two were
represented, as well as several others
nearby, outside the county. Warren-
ton had the largest delegation. It
was announced that at the next meet
ing special recognition would be given
to the Sunday School making the best
report, and also to the Sunday School
having the greatest attendance at the
meeting.
The addresses to the convention
were all of a high order. It was re-
gretted that one of the invited speak
ers was detained by a bereavement in
his family, but those who wire present
were thoroughly prepared, and made
most interesting addresses and talks.
Dr. T. j J .'Taylor spoke of "Teacher
Training in Warren County Sunday
Schools;" Mr. Forrest G. Miles, on
"The Sunday School in Character
Building;" and Miss Virgie Rodwell,
cn -.'Prayer in Sunday School Work.'
In the afternoon, Rev. E. R. Nelson
spoke on "Teaching Adults;" Mr. N.
B. Weldon,- on "Relation of . Church
and Sunday School," and Mr. J. Willie
White, on "Building Up a Rural Sun
day School." The music was a very
pleasing feature throughout the meet
ing'. J. Edward Allen presided over
the sessions, Jesse Gardner was sec
retary, and N. B. Weldon treasurer.
DEATH OF JOSEPH CROWDER
The passing from earthly activities
of Joseph Jones Crowder brings sad
ness to many. Mr. Crowder was a
citizen who made fiends and held
them because of the rectitude of hU
conduct and the quietude of " his de meanor.
He was a gentleman who
was happiest when at his home look
ing after his affairs and with his
family. When away from home it
was generally on business and when
that business was transacted he loit
ered not upon the streets, but return
ed to his own vine and fig tree.
He, was interested in schools and
served acceptably many years as
Committeeman for his District. '
He was bom 13th October, 1870,
son of Stephen L. Crowder and Nan
nie Gilliland, being one of four sons
and two daughters; his brothers sur
viving him being Messrs. George
Henry and Rom. Crowder; his sisters
Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Holloway also
surviving him.
In early manhood he married Miss
Sallie Bet. Watkins and to them were
born two boys and a girl, who with
their .mother and his aged father and
brothers and sistes mourn his untime
ly death.
Mr. Crowder passed away Monday
afternoon about 7:30 o'clock after a'
malignant attack of typhoid fever.
Every attention that a skilled physi
cian and a trained nurse and loved
ones could bestow were unstintedly
given, but his spirit passed from its
frail tenament and awaits the final
resurrection of the body in that land
where there is no sickness nor sorrow
nor parting.
His body was laid away in Ridge
way cemetery after services in the
Episcopal church by Rev. Francis
Joyner of Littleton.
Friends from Henderson and all
parts of the county and a large num
ber of his neighbors attested by their
presence their esteem and respect.
The following, were active Pall
bearers: J. E. Holloway, W. C. Ma
bry, H. H. Grant, Edward Petar, Alex
Baxter and S. E. Mabry.
The honorary pall bearers were: a.
H. Paschall, J. A. Dowtin, B. B. Wil

W. B. Gholson, Mr. Spain, W. B.

A good man has gone from amon

FHEaFARMER AND
HIS OWN MARKET
The Nev? York World. " ' ..
Whether the farmers can or cannot
get a full measure of profit on their
products in the future depends, ac
cording pto Aaron Shapiro, leader of
the co-pperative movement among
California growers, on their ability
to organize for marketing. "The
grower -alone," in his opinion, "can
make his', receipts go up or down. It
is his own fault that during the last
ten years the capital invested in ag
riculture has paid only 2 per cent.
Interest as against 24 per cent, in
industry: Blind and unintelligent are
the only two adjectives that can be
applied to his . present system, of mar-,
keting. ;:' ,:. - ., . ...
-Tliis W -sound- - sense-; ;. Farmers
havt; everywhere spent increasing
pains during the last decade in bet
tering methods of production,, but .in
few sections has there been an ap
preciation of the necessity of organ
izing for the distribution of what
they produce. They have harvested
individually andmarketed individually,
with the result that a large propor
tion of every bumper crop, goes to
waste or is used as stock food, while
the buying public faces alternate
glut and scarcity. In such circum
stances the farm is not a paying pro
position. The farmers have discov
ered that fact and have protested
vigorously, laying the blame largely
on the middlemen. But the middle
man naturally looks out for his own
interest; he can't be expected to act
as guardian for the producers. They
must learn to handle . their own
wholesale business if the arable, land
of the country is not to accumulate"-'
an even heavier burden of mortages
than it now bears.
Co-operation is not a simple mat
ter, but it is possible, as the Wes
tern fruft growers have proved.
What has ben done in the case of
this one perishable crop can be done
with others. If ,it teaches the far
mers to work together, the slump in
their business will not be without
its value. . - -

A NEW AND VAL
UED CONNECTION
It is with pleasure that this paper
announces that Warrenton has formed-a
new and valued connection with
the western end of the county.. The
Warrenton Railroad, private contri
butions from citizens of this town, the
Cress Manufacturing Company and
the Board of County Commissioners
have donated to a general purpose
that will, mean much to Warrenton.
For years Warrenton has suffered
in the fact that citizens from Warren
L county's western border, including
parts of Shocco and Sandy Creek
township could not haul produce to
and fertilizer from Warrenton because
the road crossing the valley in whicn
Shocco creek flows was almost im
passable. This, new road, along the
State survey will be of great service,
and in addition will shorten the road
from Warrenton to Raleigh several
miles and avoid the railway crossings.
'The Board of Commissioners' contri
bution was to a bridge over Shocco
creels - - - - -
We understand that the Cress
Manufacturing Company ' will make
Warrenton their headquarters for dis
tribution of their manufactured tim
ber, adding much to the freight re
ceipts of the Warrenton Railroad and
therefore to the Town's revenue, and
that they will.be able to supply their
needs here from the town's mer
chants. It. occurs to us aVo, that
possibly an ai'rangement' might be
made by which they could haul the
bulk of the fertilizers needed by th;
farmers of the townships through
which this highway .passes.
We understand that the bridge over
Shocco will be an eighteen foot,
double track bridge in accordance
with specifications approved by Stau.
Highway engineers.
Great Day For The
Babies of Warren Co.
i?jfokday wis.''. h "gifeaC day for War
ren county babies. On this day a bet
ter baby clinic was held by the Red
Cross in the. club rooms of the mili
tary company. Here 32 babies were
given advantage of a thorough physi
cal examination by a capable special
ist, and here 32 mothers received ad
vice that means much in the lives of
these future citizens of Warren.
Dr. Root conducted his examina
tions with., a thoroughness and ixt a
manner so competent that witnesses
are not surprised that he has reached
the envible position of North Caro
lina's fremost baby specialist. War
ren county is indeed fortunate to have
the services . of . Dr. Root.
On account of the extremely warm
weather not as many babies were
present as was hoped for, yet the Red
Cross had a full day's work.
Miss L. Lowe, County Red Cross
,Nurse, -states that the only regret
able fpart- of the clinic was that so
many Warren county babies in need
of expert examination were not pres
ent, and that it was sad to think that
many mothers denied their babie3 this
opportunity through fear of possible
defects. But she was pleased that
many brothers did bring then babies.
Warren county has gained from the
clinic and the Red-Cross has endear
ed itself the more in the hearts of
the mothers.
INCREASE AUTHORIZED

Company B, 1st Infantry N. C. N. G.,

Government that recruiting to a max

TOWNSHIP MONDAY
Lee Pendergrass Arrested Af t er
Home Had Been Search by Of
ficers and Liquor Found. Is
Bound Over to Court, fi
Last Friday Officers Green and
Robertson and Deputy Faulk Alston
left Warrenton for Shocco township
in search of a still they suspected tj
be in that neighborhood. They found
loo gallons of beer on plantation of
Mr. J. B. Davis. Estimating that
the beer would be ready to run Sun
day night, and anxious to capture
the distillers, the officers returned
to Warrenton.
Twelve thirty Monday mornhij,
found the officers on their way to the
location of tle beer. Parking the
car near they walked to this. Upon
their apporach they heard what they
thought to be a, signal, then a dog
barked. After a few minutes of sil
ence Chief Green and Deputy Robert
son crept forward, leaving Faulk
Alston to watch. They were too late.
They found the distiller had made the
liquor. The supposed signal was
someone driving the stopper . in the
rivulet.
The officers returned to the car
and waited the approach of dawn.
They then drove to the home of Lee
Pendergrass. Tracks led from the
house in the direction of the still.
Waking Pendergrass, they proceed
ed to search his house. Lifting a
plank in the floor the officers found a
five gallon keg and several vessels
filled with "white lightning." Lee
Pendergrass was placed under ar
rest and going to the location where
the beer was seen a, search was made
for the still. They found the old
fashioned tin tub outfit, and came to
town.
The officers feeling satisfied that
the captured still was not the one in
which the liquor was made the night
before decided to go back to the
woods and make another search.
Deputy Faulk Alston and Deputy
Robertson drove out and after a
search found a spleidid outfit with a
copper cap and worm. Evidently the
still had been running for a short time
only as the officers found the location
where the still was. made.
Lee Pendergrass was given a hear
ing before Justice John W. Allen and'
bound - over to Recorder's" court next
Monday under $300 bond, charged
with unlawful possession of whiskey
