' li A whipping post for drunken automobile drivers was advocated yesterday in a bill presented to the Senate by Senator J. T. Alderman of Henderson, representing Warren and Vance. This information came over the air last night from the radio station on the Sir Walter roof. Senator Alderman prefaced the introduction of the measure with the comment that he did not think that it would pass, but said that it will at least give the people of North Carolina "something to think about." - v ~ 7 **v' '* ?; tall; WARRENTON, ( ucky Thirteen e all thirteen of Hollywood's 1!>2S ?, have been chosen, as each year a , :ritics as being the most likely of ve stardom.

Business of Nation Very Satsfactory Review Indicates ' NEW YORK, Feb. 3?Business came through to the second month j of the year last week in generally ; satisfactory fashion, the metal industries again showing somewhat more acceleration than the normal : seasonal expansion of this period would require. Steel mills were operating at 85 to 00 per cent of capacity at the end of January, having averaged about 84 per cent during the month, 1 in contrast to less than 80 per cent in January of 1928. Orders for rail- , way equipment and heavy structural steel were large, and automotive i takings were generally heavy. There j were hardening tendencies in steel : prices, but pig iron slipped back 1 slightly. Heavy buying of copper brought another 1-4 of a cent increase in red metal prices. Farm implement and machinery manufacturers reported further expansion of activity, and shoe and furniture manufactur ing picked up considerably. Southern cotton mills were operating at near capacity at Northern centers, where cotton eased somewhat in sympathy with the decline in raw cotton. A number of highly favorable earnings statements for 1928 made their appearance during the week. The marked improvement in the sttel industry last year was apparent in the earnings of the United States Steel corporation, amounting to $11.61 per share against $8.81 in 1927. E. I. duPont de Nemours and Co. earned $21.96 per share in 1928, against $15.45 in the previous year. i The petroleum industry containued unsettled. Crude production again mounted and gasoline prices were cut in several sections. Several oil executives held a meeting at Tulsa and appointed an umpire to call a general meeting of operators on February 5 to discuss control of crude production. 1 The month-end was passed with- i out a serious flurry in the money market, call money going no higher : than 8 per cent. Time money eased ] U-.4.

Building operations normally ] were somewhat behind last year at ; this time, although heavy construe- ] tion was active. ; Failures increase^ slightly over ; the previous week. r/*CTF M ' w OT :OUNTY OF WARREN, N.

HAITHCOCK SPECIAL AGENT Claude Haithcock of Churhill has accepted a position as special agent In Warren county with the Pilot Life Insurance company whose home office is at Greensboro. Mr. Haithcock was here yesterday afternoon with H. L. Rawlings of Durham, distrist manager. T - * Q** . :. .xilDAY, FEBRUARY 8, Car Leaps Hood To Land In Ditch; No One Seriously Hurt LITTLETON, Feb. 6.?A car, property of H. G. Haithcock, former deputy sheriff of Warren, leaped across the f ood of another driven by Robert Se ars near here last night at 9 o'clock and landed wheels-up in a roadside ditch. Sidney Rooker, who was driving, his wife, Mr. Haithcock, and Jewel Gray were pinned beneath the machine but escapea any serious injury, rue cars were badly smashed. The Haithcock car was trailing the one driven by Sears, ooth headed toward Warrenton, when Mr. Sears, according to Mr. Rooker, turned without warning to take a sideroad to the left. Mr. Rooker, who was about to pass at that time, went over the hood with the car and all of its occupants. I Returning from Scotland Neck, Brodie Jones drove up within a few minutes after the accident and carried the injured to Harrisons' Drug Store where Dr. Horace Palmer treated Mr. and Mrs. Rooker for slight cuts and bruises. Mr. Haith- 1 cock sustained a bruise on the side 1 and another on top of his head. < Gray escaped injury. i Mrs. Rooker had just left her i young baby with a neighbor before I the car landed topside-down in the ditch. Frank Rainey was traveling with Mr. Sears who has been at Littleton for about three years with, a chain store. ! 1 Citizens Library Movement .To Play Part In Carolina Much will be heard in North Carolina in the years just ahead about the Citizens Library Movement inaugurated through the interest and efforts largely of Dr. ; Frank Graham of the University and others and the State Library Commission, The movement has as its object the establishment of county libraries in qvery county in the State which shall serve all the people of the county and tend to break down educational inequalities and advantages between town and rural inhabitants. It is expected that the movement will be to the adult population of the State what universal education is meaning to its children. Books for everybody, everywhere. Quoting from the handbook published recently "The county library is a free public library system for the entire county reaching every person in every corner of the county." It serves the people through a central library, branches 1 and sub stations. It is the companion of the consolidated school except thai, in practice it works the oppostie way, brings books to the people instead of people to the books. This is done by using as branch stations, school libraries, churches and clubs, and such means of transportation as is available. In the large counties a book truck is Used. In Durham county the Kiwanis club furnishes this. I note that the Woman's club of Lexington is raising money for a county book truck. Only fourteen counties in the State have county library service : including Warren, although means for making our library hit a little stronger 011 the county idea should be devised. It is rather surprising to note that 16 towns of a population of $2500 to 10,000 have no public libraries at all among them are Kinston, Elizabeth City, Lenoir and Shelby. I have read recently that the Woman's club of Elizabeth City is at work to establish a library there. North Carolina has only 72 pub- ( lie libraries in the whole State. There is only one incorporated town in the State of Massachusetts without a library. The first public library to De established in the j United States was at Peterborough, New Hampshire, well over one hundred years ago. j Quoting again from the handbook; "The function of the library as an institution of society is the I development and enrichment of human life in the entire community by bringing to all the people Ual/Nnrr frt fViom " l/I It? UUUlii tliao uv viavaaai Col. Fr?.nk P. Hobgood Jr. is chairman of the movement. The names of three citizens of this county appear in the handbook are W. T. Polk, S. E. Burroughs and Charlotte Story Perkinson. It is very probable that others have enlisted by this time. Mr. Johnny Abbott of Elberon was a recent visitor here. ri 1929 Commissi Keep Con Mrs. Joe S.

Mull Predicts Secret Ballot Bill Will Be Passed Odus M. Mull, Representative from Cleveland county and State Democratic chairman, Wednesday expressed the opinion that the modified Broughton-Johnson Australian ballot bill will pass both the Senate and House "without much trouble." Chairman Mull expects some votes to be cast against the bill in both houses, but he is of the opinion that the opponents of a secret ballot measure will not muster enough strength to defeat the Broughton-Johnson bill. Chairman Mull is not entirely satisfied with the t BroughtonJohnson bill as it was reported to the Senate Tuesday by the Senate election laws committee, but he believes the modified bill is better than no secret ballot bill at all. Like Governor Gardner, he is against the provision in the modified bill to allow county boards, of elections to conduct primaries under the old system, while they must conduct primaries for the State offices under the Australian system. Governor Gardner believes that the bill embodies at least three great gains, namely, for the cause of honest elections, secrecy in voting, and a check on all ballots printed. The Broughton-Johnson bill, has been made a special order of business and will come up for discussion on the floor of the Senate after the regular morning hour Friday. Carnes Pleads Guilty Embezzlement Charge ATLANTA, Feb. 5.?Clinton S. Carnes, who rose from ex-convict to a position of prominence as treasurer of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, and decamped after nine years, leaving an alleged shortage of nearly $1,000,000, pleaded guilty to embezzlement here today and was given an indeterminate sentence of five to seven years imprisonment. His pleas was accepted on recommendation of board officials, who said Carnes had turned over all his resources for restitution, that it would save the State a long, expensive trial, and that Justice would be served by the sentence, due to his age. It was added that Carnes had agreed to aid in untangling the board's accounts, on which auditors have been working since ne disappeared last Summer. Only one of the 20 indictments returned against him?that charging misappropriation of $80,000 ? figured in the proceedings. The State announced that the others would be dismissed if the 51-yearold former layman did not seek a norvlrm nr narnla hofnrn f+iB PTrnlrft tion of his minimum sentence. Carnes, who had been confined to the county jail since his arrest last September, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, ( Continued on page 8 ) MARKET CLOSES] Warrenton's tobacco market will close for the 1928-29 season here on Friday, February 22, it was announced yesterday by a member of the Tobacco Board of Trade. Total sales were riot announced. It was concensus of opinion among most of the tobacco warehousemen of the Old Belt that the crop had just about been sold, and so the cry of the auctioneer dies next Friday week to be heard again in September.

The senator reviewed the record in Warren county which had been made since the inception of the work. He told of the costs to taxpayers if we did not take a little time and money now to guard against a great amount of time and much more money later. He spoke fervently for a delegation of women representing the clubs of Warren county, who added their ' presence to the weight of his remarks. Reviewing how she voted, without mincing any words, Miss Amma D. Graham plead for a continuation of the work of the nurse. Mrs. Perkinson spoke her conviction in this regard. Norwood Boyd, representing the Kiwanis club of Warrenton, added his endorsement. 11 n n r J 6X Aii o uiuuck muiiuay ai leruouti uie board of commissioners met with the board of health to hear Dr. Collins of the State Board of Health at Raleigh plead the cause of infancy and maternity. Dr. Hunter, Dr. Reete, Dr. Rodgers, Edward Allen and Mayor Gibbs endorsed the work. Then the board of health went Into session and returned their findings as follows to the commissioners: "Upon motion of J. Edward Allen, dulv seconded with no op&athMt vote, ordered that Mrs. Josephs Jones be appointed county nurse during the life of the present contract, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs. O. D. Williams." Receiving the report of the board of health, Commissioner John S. Skinner moved that Mrs. Jones be named as the choice of the board for this position and that a written report of her activities be made to the board each month. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Newell and carried without opposing , vote. Members of the board of health are Chairman John C. Powell, Dr. P. P. Hunter, Dr. G. H. Macon, Mayor Frank H. Gibbs, and Supt. of Education J. Edward Allen. t\ nr? a rr rv r. 1.
