Vacancy On Board
Filled After Hill's
Letter To Chairman
By BRODIE JONES
T.Q.ct". u/pplr t-hp HrwofH rvf
vr* VWUHVJ
commissioners in special session
here were making plans to spend
the $25,000 dollars expected from the
State Highway Commission after
Chairman John C. Powell brought
the news to his board that John
Sprunt Hill, Highway commissioner
for this district, looked to the board
of county commissioners to supervise
the expenditure in this county.
The county board tentatively agreed
to spend the funds on a basis of
road mileage and requested all
township road chairman to bring a
report on mileage in their townships,
exclusive of the roads now
maintained o ythe State, at the May
6 meeting of the board.
After this meeting a special session
of road supervisers met here
Wednesday of last week and named
J. A. Dowtin, without opposition, to
membership on the road board
created by the legislature of
1 m n Knf Viorl Konn
UUU WliiCii nau umvvxiv
for years. Mr. Dowtin was named
to succeed the late D. L. Ryder.
Wallace Paschall and Dr. G. H.
Macon are other members of the
board.
A day or two ago, Mr. Paschall
hailed me, "What were you jumping
all over me about in last week's
paper?"
"I wasn't jumping on you," I
answered, but "I heard what Mr.
Powell said about the situation and
he had just been talking to Mr. Hill,
and the board of county commissioners
thought and acted in line
with the expectation of spending
the funds in the county. Your board
has been inactive for years and I
thought it had no legal status."

IVir. rttdUiail ouvnwu tuv Vnv ?wv
ters. One from Mr. Hill and the
other from Dennis G. Brummitt,
State attorney general.
The letter from Mr. Hill suggested
that the vacancy be filled on
the road board over which Mr.
Paschall presided, and the letter
from the attorney general ruled
upon the legality of such a move.
Mr. Paschall added after I had
scanned the letters, "I don't see
where there was anything else for
me to do." i
But the fact remains that there
is to be some argument about the.
matter as indicated last week. The
threat to the township system hidden
in the recent road law and the
supervision of the expenditure of
$25,000 brought life to a board apparently,
and perhaps legally, dead.
"The maiden is not dead, she only
sleepeth," as Buck Jones once remarked.
Commenting informally about the
matter yesterday, Mr. Dowtin, newly
appointed member of the board,
said that "he didn't think there
would be any row about the matter."

Eugene Boyd Goes
To His Grave With
Mystery Unsolved
Eugene Boyd, negro, 57, will go
down into his grave without solving
the mystery that surrounded
his injuries. He died in a Henderson
hospital on Wednesday without
regaining consciousness.
Boyd was found lying unconscious
in the old turnpike near Greenwood
road on Monday evening, April 8,
by Roy Daniel. Physicians were
summoned and an investigation revealed
that he was suffering with
a fractured skull and broken collar
bone. He was carried to the Henderson
hospital.
The negro was lying in the jniddle
of the road with his feet crossed.
A soft felt hat was two yards
?j - 1?i.i? a cn
away, ana a pouncus-imc wu uu
cents had tumbled from his left
pocket.
Opinion expressed by the crowd
that gathered at the scene attributed
Boyd's condition to one of three
reasons. He had either t>een thrown
from a buggy, a car struck him, 01
some one had hit him with a stick
?the prevailing theory today holds
that he was struck by a hit-andrun
driver.
The negro had been in town Monday
afternoon selling some land.
He started walking to his home and
was passed near Long Bridge by J
K. Pinnell who did not recognize
him when he wavea for a ride. A
few minutes later Mr. Pinnell passed
an old Ford with one light and
that dim. Just before he reached
the Daniel home he met Roy Daniel
coming toward town. The the

Town Convention of Next
Monday Evening Promises
To Be Very Quiet
ONLY ONE REGISTERS
Political atmosphere at Warrenton
is not being fanned by any
breezes of interest or tossed by the
appearance of new candidates, and
today it appears that the town convention
next Mcnday evening in the
Court House at 8 o'clock will be
particularly quiet. W. T. Polk, chairman
of the Democratic Executive
committee of the Town of Warrenton
will preside.
Registrar T. B. Gardner says that
only one person has registered. There
are a few more than 200 on the
town registration, book, he estimated.
Mr. Gardner requested that
citizens not on the book register at
once. The election will be held on
May 7th at which time Mr. Gardner
will be assisted by W. J. Watson
and Weldon Hall as pollholders.
It is understood, generally, at
least, that ^;he present board and
Mayor Frank H. Gibbs will all stand

board include J. E. Rooker, H. A.
Moseley, E. E. Gillam, J. B. Massenburg,

Moseley, and Frank Serls.
Citizens of the town will probably
attend the convention of Monday
evening in force, but it looks like
now that every one is in for a quiec
