Some of the readers of this paper may possibly remember the story of the deer which made an tentative effort to John the Chittenden herd. Curiously enough a story in f the Scotland Neck News adds ah' r ? - 1 Li J C other interesting cnapter in our deer life. Misses Etta Dunn and 3 , Lelia' Shore Thomas, Messrs. Cle- Q ment Kitchin and Maxie Iliddick c were driving along toe road to j Spring Hill when a two hundred l pound buck dashed across the road iir front of-toe Buicte sedsui. He 1 was caught under the wheels of the car and killed. His body was brought to Scotland Neck in verification of this tale. It may lyelj i be that this deer and the one seen ( on the Chittenden farm were one ( and the same animal| At all events j they had certain unusual characteristics in common. They were both j endowed with daring to a degree f unusual in deer. They had a taste ( for adventure, longing for the new j and untiried, but an untimely death { has placed a terminus?haswritten ? finis to his earthly endeavor.

' r ~ ~1 MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 18 BKUIWIT RULES ON COUNTY FUND Attorney Generals Says His Opinion Is Commissioners Should Control Money WRITES TO J. E. BANZET "I am of the opinion that the act) does not extend to or give the county road commissioners authority to control, manage or direct the gasoline or county aid fund which will be allocated to Warren county under the act of 1929 on that subject. Assuming that there is no other statute which places the control of this fund in other hands, I am of the opinion that the board of ' ; county commissioners will have control of it." This opinion comes this week from Dennis G. Brummit, attorney general of the State of North Car olina, in answer to an inquiry from Julius E. Banzet Jr., county attorney, and seems to establish the fact that the county commissioners will have control of the expenditure of the $25,700 which comes to Warren. A ruling by the attorney general was requested as a result of some shades of opinion in the county which held that the old County Highway Commission, created ten years ago and recently revived, should spend the funds and by others who held that it should be spent by the township road commissioners. The ruling vests the power of expenditure within the board of county commissioners. Mr. Brummitt's letter follows in full: "Mr. J. E. Banzet Jr., "County Atorney, "Warrenton, N. C. "Dear Mr. Banzet: "In accordance with request contained in your letter of April 29, I have examined Chapter 609, Public-Local Laws of 1919, and especially section 10 thereof. For the purpose of this reply I have not examined the books to see if there is any other statute on the subject but am basing what I say upon the assumption that this chapter is complete in itself and has not been amended. "I am of opinion that the act does not extend to or give the county road commissioners authority to control, manage or direct the gasoline or county aid fund which will be allocated to Warren county under the act of 1929 on that subject. Assuming that there is no other statute which places the control of this fund in other hands, I am of opinion tnat tne noara 01 county commissioners will have control of it. "In this view of the matter, I take it that it is not necessary that I make any examination of this or any other statute for the purpose of reaching any conclusion as to whether the said board of county road commissioners is defunct or is still existent. "With good wishes, I am, "Yours very truly, "DENNIS BRUMMITT, "Attorney General." Township road boards were requested by the county commissioners to brihg to the meeting of next Monday the amount of road mileage in their respective townships. It is estimated that there are over 500 miles of county roads in Warren, and the board plans to spent these funds for maintenance. Such a pro gram, with this $25,700 from the State, holds hope of reducing the maintenance rate in the county. Forty-three thousand dollars is levied for that purpose now.
