Pictures of real value will be shown, it is said, and every effort is being made to have al citizens visit the library during the two weeks the pictures remain here. Among the contributors to the Landscape club whose pictures will invite inspection are: Mr. Hichard S. Meryman, principal of the Corcoran School of Art, in Washington. Mr. Meryman is a pupil of Tarbell and Benson of Boston, and especially of the late Abbot Thayer. He has served on the faculty of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Pine Arts in Philadelphia, and has received numerous high awards and many important commissions. 1 Mr. Eugen Peiss, a member of the J faculties of the Corcoran school and of George Washington university. He is a most versatile painter and ' an accomplished craftsman. This past Summer his large canvas "The ' Hockey Players," at the international exhibition at the Hague, received unusually favorable comment. Mr. Horefall is the art director 1 of "Nature Magazine." He is recognized, since the death of L. A. Fuertes, as perhaps the leading painter of birds and small mammals ' in the country. Mr. Horsfall has j painted many important museum , backgrounds for habitant groups nnd has illustrated a shelffull of , books. His early training was under Duveneck in Cinncinnati where he won a scholarship to Munich and Paris. Captain Winfield Scott Cline for years was closely associated with George Inness Jr., who died recently and who was nearly as great a painter as his distinguished father. He knows their methods and their interesting biographies thoroughly, and spends his own Summers at Gragemoor, N. Y., where the Innesses lived for many years. Mr. Benson B. Moore has exhibited throughout the South. Even more widely know, however, than his well-painted landscapes, are his etchings which have been exhibited widely in this country and are also in foreign collections. Mr. A. H. Rolle, is the president of the club, a position he has occupied for many years. He paints with great facility, and always produces something of exquisite color and rare atmosphere effect.

Not bad for legs. 1 And that brings us to the chorus } vhich was steppy enough and cos- ( urned prettily.

Kinsey play- 1 ng the lover so naturally. John c ienderson had the air of a typical ilaywright, and Gerald Allen and fim Moore played the college chum ituff in fraternity house way though hey were a little sophisticated. The :ollege flappers had more zip, fresh- i less of appeal, as it were, and these ? oles fell upon the heads of Mary ( jlasson, Margie Green and Mar- ( * -mti: J. I jaret Kicid.

Did { ;hey strut! Did they bring the ( itmosphere of humor with their ^ vitticisms and their bustles, ruffles ( ind what nots? The laughter of ? ;he audience answered. * The Robin Redbreast chorus, giv- 1 ng light touch of fantasy to the jrown-up attraction, sparkled. This 5 foung chorus included Lois Reid, ' liaura Ellis, Helen Holt, Elizabeth J Boyce, Hattie Drake, Betsy Rod yell, Emma Kelly Moseley, and 1 Mariam Boyd.

U:;, ; Vs TRAVELLER DIES IN AUTO SUNDAY Distinguished Looking Man Had Been Wanderer For Over Half A Century BURIED HERE TUESDAY A trail of human endeavor, of pleasure and of hardship which began at Cairo, HI.. 52 years ago and which led into practically every State of the union, faded at Warrenton on Sunday afternoon in the ieath of Will S.

The man who saw seas )f faces on pleasure bent was a stranger, but his love of brotherhood was attested by a key ring selling of membership in the Odd bellows Lodge of his home tow.n Mr. Loftin who lived with Mrs. J. E. Corbett at Ahoskie until just jefore Christmas had gone to Tussarora Beach where he was makng his home with George Daniel, saretaker there.

It is reported that the commissioners will not make the choice but that it will be by a board composed of other county officials, probably including the chairman of the board of county commissioners.

Republicans May Consider McNinch WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.?Prank McNinch, who managed the antiSmith campaign in North Carolina, is discussed in Miami dispatches in a manner that indicates Col. Horace A. Mann, now advertised as southern dispensed of Republican patronage, is thoroughly cognizant of the existence of the Charlotte man. ? I lie vigiittuu tux capuuucuu ui uic Washington Post discovered that some of McNinch's relatives once flopped into the Republican party and stayed Republican thereafter. He deduces that while Senator Simmons has taken pains to let the country know he considers himself still a Democrat the Charlotte man has gone to no such trouble. In fact, it is suggested that McNinch may be named one of a triumvirate to preside over the North Carolina patronage in the same manner as was done in New York. In that state one pro-Hoover and one anti-Hoover Republican has ben named on the triumvirate, with the state chairman as referee. As Ninch is looked upon as more of a pro-Hoover man than an antiSmith Democrat, it is suggested that he belongs to such an arrangement, if made. Robbers Visit Macon In A Wholesale Raid Practically every store at Macon the garages and postoffice were entered by an unknown band on Friday night who left laden with cigars, tires, and merchandise.

SRI MOST OF THE NEWS 11 ALL THE TIME NUMBER 5 JAIL BREAKER IS RETURNED HERE jj Negro Who Forced Jail Keys From Fate Weaver In 1924, Brought Back For Trial CHASED FOR TWO DAYS iaw -4 ? xut law uura UUI/ lUigcl/ auu SO today Sheriff O. D. Williams and former Chief of Police E. L. Green will roll into Warrenton with Ernest Saunders, burly young negro who pounced upon and roughly handled Fate Weaver, then county jailer, here Wednesday morning, September 24, 1924, and baffled all efforts to catch him in a two-days intensive man hunt. The officers are bringing Saunders to Warren from the Atlanta penitentiary to stand trial for robbery and assault. Warrenton and a great section of the county was thrown in an uproar after the negro in 1924 had pounced upon Mr. Weaver in thd jail, seized his revolver and forced the jailer to turn him upon the world. For two days bloodhounds followed him with the chase leading from Macon and then again rumor took the crowd beyond Norlina where Saunders was said to have visited the home of Levi Williams. Prominent citizens from many sections took part in the man hunt at the time, but the negro was too elusive. Six months later a negro was captured at Raleigh charged with robbing the United States mail. The description answered that of Saunders. Late in March, 1925, Jailer Weaver went to Raleigh and identified the negro as Saunders. "Well, I'll get you when Uncle Sam is through." he told Saunders who denied that he had ever been at Warrenton. Fate Weaver said he kr;ew the gold tooth and the general appearatice of the man who had wrestled his way to freedom, taking the jail keys from him. Robberies were general during the time Saunders was being chased, and he was charged with the crimes. From the penitentiary he comes to the care of Jailer Lovell and then will await the verdict of twelve" good men and true at the May term of court. M. G. Mann Talks To Cotton Growers The Warren county members of the North Carolina Cotton Growers association held a very interesting meeting at Warren county court house today at 10 o'clock, at which time M. G. Mann, director of the field service department of the association brought to the members some very interesting information on improved seed, fertilizers and life insurance. The association has learned that the greatest good can be accomplished by rendering the greatest service so it has made arrange ments to help cotton farmers get better seed which will bring more premiums and to get fertilizers and fertilizer materials at the lowest cash price, and it is hoped that within a short time every member of the association will hold a life policy for one thousand dollars in one of the strongest life insurance companies in the world, an official of the association said. Such service as mentioned above is drawing the attention of the cotton grower more than ever to his own organization and promises to soon place the cotton association first not only as a marketing organization but as a service organization. Rev. Carl E. Gaddy To Open Norlina Revival NORLINA. Jan. 30?Rev. Carl E.
