CAROLINA IN IN/ As rigid economy as possible without impairing the well being of the State, a shift of taxation, the Australian ballot, agricultural aid and a continuation of public health work were some of the j problems discussed by O. Max | Gardner in his inaugural address l delivered at Raleigh on last Friday. In addition he wants the fullest 1 publicity upon public matters. He touched upon these matters and promised to go more fully into the subject in addresses to the legislature. Mr. Gardner favors the eightmonth school term but does not deem it advisable to pass a Statewide law to this effect. Rather he favors a gradual growth towards this goal with an increase in the equalization fund in order that the richer counties may aid the poorer ones. "The development of public education in North . Carolina, when measured in terms of total operating costs has been rapid and continuoius for a period of 30 years. It has now reached a total of more Harry And Dishpan Put Out Small Fire Dashing across the street from Ramsay's Cafe with a dishpan full of water, Harry Brown, well known Warrenton negro, put out a blaze in "D o rmnrr hhro nn ^jixxiy jj v/iu muiui j mw*w Tuesday night while the fire company was hot-footting it with the hose cart.

Captain Bowers called to Harry Brown to bring some water as he ran by the negrc cafe.

C., FRIDJ i " ~ i PAYS TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF POLK Resolutions Of Respect Are Inscribed On Minutes Of The Superior Court DRAWN UP BY RODWELL In a court room which for more than a quarter of a century vibrated with his eloquence and before a coterie of friends who loved him for his character, the memory of Tasker Polk lived again Monday in memorial exercises conducted by the Warren County Bar association. Estimates of the life and worth of Mr. Polk were feelingly given by Congressman John H. Kerr, Senator B. B. Williams and J. P. Pippen of Littleton. Judge T. M. Pittman of Henderson was unable to be present on account of Illness. Friends who had matched their wits against these of Mr. Polk in many hard fought legal battles joined today in praise for the sincerety of the former dean of the Warrenton bar. Men who knew him intimately told of the earnestness, the humanriess, the eloquence, the friendliness which were woven into his character. Senator Williams touched upon the innate lover for the rights of his fellowman and his desire always to defend them as a dominant trait in the character of Senator Polk. Mr. Pippen eulogized Mr. Polk as a friend of many years. "Tasker knew how to be a friend. I will always cherish liis friendship for me as one of the finest things ever to enter my life," he said. Congressman Kerr reviewed the long years of active life which Mr. Polk led before the bar in this county and paid tribute to his ability as a lawyer, as an orator, and as a gentlemen who exemplified the best traditions of the Old South. At the conclusion of the exercises over which Senator Williams presided Judge Barnhiil said, "I'm glad for the court to set aside this time for these exercises and I will instruct the clerk to enter upon the record of this court that these exercises were held in honor of your distinguished countyman." Resolutions of the Warren county bar association, prepared by the Hon. T. O. Rodwell, paying tribute to Mr. Polk wer; read by Senator Williams and were ordered inscribed on the records of the court as follows: "Whereas, sine; the last term of ( Continued On Page 8 ) T.

V Barnhill of Rocky Mount commented this morning in his charge to the grand jury at the first of Warren's three courts of the year. The jurist, holding his first court in Warren, outlined in a 45-minute talk the duties of grand jurors. He stressed the importance of inquiry into the expenditure of fun/is for schools and roads, and suggested to the foreman that visiting committees be named from the Juiy.

He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Haithcock. He was hunting with two other 'boys at the time of the accident and was standing on a stump watching for a rabbit. When he jumped down his gun struck the edge of the stump, firing into his right hand and several shot entering his head. His hand had to be amputated. Dog Bites Several; Is Found To Be Mad Mr. and Mrs. Van Davis and son, Van Jr., and Robert Hanks, a negro employed on the Davis farm in Shocco township, are taking antirabies treatment here.

Sunday the dog died and its head was sent to Raleigh for examination where it was found that it had rabies. Although it is not believed that Van Davis Jr. was bitten, hie is undergoing treatment with his narents in order to be on the safe side. MAIL SERVICE | A young business man of Warrenton and a good one according to the law and the profits came to the office of The Warren Record this week with the remark that the out-going morning mail closed at 11 o'clock when the first train upon which it could be possibly placed did not depart from Norlina until 1:50 p. m. ' A few minutes later, about 11:20 a. m., one of us here hustled with a bag of mail to the postoffice. Too late, and then a drive to Norlina after 1:30 o'clock to place the mail on the same train that carried the mail made up here soon after 11 that morning. "These are days of rapid transit and public service. The outgoing mail should be carried away at least as late as 1 o'clock," was a parting comment of the visitor in which view the force here heartily joined. rii Plans Hoover Inaugural ^ . ,Jjyiyv, | * 'JW y^ragBfcyVy>x<y;,;v;<.;.x*>x<<w>^Avfe'31JMW R j?^^. , Vftflftf D XoWSt \?.v.Wft'.?mv.v.'..v.'.vXv.v..'.J^nHi n jSKsssy ' - -. * ' ^ "^"' >jnHnHn If Mpepooo6i?gK:. ^%\%v/.yx-fcy/.yXW?jo^ nynnn| Q 1 frt?r. .. . i .

Leach, welfare officer, in a report of funds donated to and ] expended by the Charity Chest to , relieve suffering among the unfor- . tunate . The sum of $464.12 was donated for this purpose during 1928. Of , this sum, $353.65 ha sbeen spent. A balance of $110.47 cents remains, but from this balance two hospital | bills will soon have to be paid, Miss Leach said. ] On account of the depleted con- i dition of the Charity Chest and the 1 urgent calls for aid, the Welfare board put on a drive for additional ' funds in November and December. 1 While a number have responded to 1 this appeal, Miss Leach said yesterday that she trusted that others 1 would contribute as soon as possi ble on account or tne epidemic or grip, calls are continuous for food, medicine or a doctor for those who 1 are sick and poor, she said. The response to the appeal for aid has come from both races, but 1 the negroes contributed more than two dollars for every one given by white persons. The white race contributed $32.84 cents, as follows: Episcopal church ' at Ridgeway, $6; Ladies Aid, Meth- ' odist church, Ridgeway, $5; Norlina club, $3; Woman's club of Afton, $5; Providence ySunda school, $5; Methodist Christmas , tree, Warrenton, $7.50; P. D. Woodall, Mrs. W. E. Turner and Mrs. Bettie Turner, $2.34. The members of the negro race contributed $76.45, as follows: Pleas- , ant Zion shurch, $15; Locust Grove , Sunday School and Hollae Missions, $20; from Creek by Mary Alston, $2; Warrenton Baptist church and Missionary society, $5; through R. L. Goode from interested friends in Norlina, $10.70; Coley Springs church and Sunday school, $10; Shocco Chapel, $3.75. Since the welfare work began in Warren county, Jubilee negro hos pital at Henderson has taken 50 patients from Warren county in the last two and one-half years, Miss Leach said. These were generally 1 admitted as ward patients at $1 a day which was less than it cost the hospital to care for them. "If every church and organization in ou rcounty will make a contribution once a year to our Charity Chest we will have an adequate sinking fund," the welfare officer declared. "The Welfare Board greatly ap- . preciates the co-operation they ; have received from citizens inter- , ested in the work from all parts of ; the county," Miss Leach concluded. MBS.

Mr. Holtzman is survived by his widow, three girls and two boys. PAY TAXES NOW Early payment of taxes saves the county much money in interest and it would seem that taxes would be easier to pay now than they are later, Sheriff O. D. Williams said this morning. "I would appreciate prompt settlement, and I know that the board of county commissioners would." FIND PEOPLE ILL Finishing his examination at State college on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Forrest Robertson came to his home at Areola to spend the night with his parents at Oakland Farm.
