Being a native of this secion, and related by ties of blood nd friendship to practically every amily in this section referred to ] beg of you, Mr. Editor, space to ondemn certain allusions by the uthor of the above article. Mrs. Perkinson evidently came to Vise through the missionary spirit nd was unable at the time of her rrival to see anything admirable, : ommendable or desirable until such , ould be improved upon as a result f her efforts. She refers in a con- ( lescending way to the "old wooden ? ?> - ~ ^ 9. cnooi nuuse, iXXXU MAVMmmvvw ? riticism of the fact that the "pupils . /ere studying the dictionary" and ;etting answers (definitions) to the , zords. It is very probable that had Mrs. 'erkinson given equal or more atention to the very method she idicules she would not have been ;uilty of mistaking a deep well for in "artesian well," and calling these , ame wells "artesian wells" as she lid in her article. I personally know hat the principal in this "old zooden school-house" would have (lushed with shame to have ever mown that one of his senior pupils vent away from this "old wooden ichool-house" so ignorant as to call i deep well an "artesian well." There ire no artesian wells in Wise, or my other part of Warren county. Please get this from a pupil of this 'old wooden school-house" that itudied his "dictionary" and wrote he meanings to the words. She concluded the section looked 'wild and woolly" after the first lay's stay. Such a statement is absurd. Hawtree was and has been for in vears one of the most progres >ive sections of Warren county, ana Warren county one of the most progressive counties of the State, with two rail-roads within its borders, and they always a sign of progress. Hawtree 20 years ago was in a high State of progressiveness. Represented by more than her proportional number of her sons in the list of county officials, with two of ihp strongest rural churches in the I county within her borders, a special school tax district laid off for her children, and one of the mightiest financial factors of this part of North Carolina and Virginia a native of and residing in her midst, there is no justification whatever for the picture of backwardness drawn by Mrs. Perinson. She intimates an apology for the are^ent school conditions of Hawtree's "geographical position near the Virginia line." I gladly condemn for the people of Hawtree any such slur at their neighboring Virginians to whom most of us are ( Continued on Page 8 ) lip Hi WARRENTON, CC \DOW OF SKYSCRAPERS ?w s.:i A < *?^**? * WMg - iffT r WfAAT^ IMTITiTi > <0000000w;.'Xv/i < X^mK^I'Xy^x ' ^\ ike a typical fishing village on the headquarters of Fred Waimer and ie Street in the shadow of Chicago's ling village and the men that work tvith fish for the last 16 years, the miniature fishing village with uresque background.

S. Hill & Co. of Cincinatti. The bonds were for refunding purposes and in the interest of economy in Government, it is understood. Twelve firms placed bids. All members of the hoard of county commissioners, with County Attorney George Green, were present and in complete agreement upon the sale. No other business was discussed. Thirty-two thousand dollars of the bonds represented Court House issues and $20,000 road construction. They were issued in denominations of $1000 and are to mature $2,000 annually from June 1, 1930, to June 1, 1937, inclusive, and $3,000 annually from June 1, 1938, to June 1, 1949. The refunding was in accord with an act of the general assembly of 1929, and the bonds were approved by a New York firm as to all phases of legality and soundness. In a statement of the general condition of the county which was sent from the office of Register of Deeds W. T. Clement, the following facts were setforth in reference to fiscal conditions in Halifax: The estimated value of property was given at $70,000,00 with an assessed valuation of $39,251,495. The population in 1920 was 43,755, now it is believed to be 55,000. The gross receipts in 1928 were given at $653,543.20. The tax rate at $1.50. The bonded debt, including the issue of yesterday, is $1,544,000, less $432,000 already provided as sinking fund. The fiet bonded debt, therefore, being $1,112,000. There is no pending legislation, his report said, and the county was not in default in payment of any interest or debt. .. .

Mrs. Perkinson Writes Of Life Capt. Terrell By CHARLOTTE S. PERKINSON In the passing of Captain William S. Terrell on Sunday afternoon, July 14th., Warren county lost a useful and highly respected citizen, and Warren Plains, known in the years gone by as the depot, lost one of its oldest residents, a well beloved and most familiar figure. Mr. Terrell was born 73 years ago next December, the son of Dr. Thomas Jefferson Terrell of this county and Olivia Roles of Wake county, one of a family of eighteen children, of whom only one, a sister, Mrs. Martha (Pattie) H. Perkinson 'of Wise survives. He married Anne Harris of Warrenton with whom he lived very U? A n vaakc A Ave Towoll | uappuy iui tl jrca 10. xrii o> xwiivu [ died three years ago. One son and one daughter, W. S. Terrell Jr. of Warren Plains and Mrs. John F. Vaughan of Raleigh, and six grandchildren, W. S. Terrell III, Molly Ann, Alice Louise Terrell, Miss Anne William, and John Vaughan Jr. survive. Capt. Terrell is also survived by a large number of nieces and nephews, children of his deceased brothers and sisters to whom through many years he has often been as father, always ready to give helpful advice and to give of his means if necessary. Perhaps this is his reason for being such an interested and strong supporter of the orphanage work. All children could look to him as their friend. I Capt. Terrell prized highly a service pin given him in recognition of his more than half century of service to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, he having served as agent at Warren Plains continuously for over 56 years, up to the time he was | taken acutely ill about two months I ago. For a period of more than 30 | years Mr. Terrell has been superinI tendent of the Warren Plsains Baptist Sunday school and for over 25 years has acted as treasurer of the church. He was also a member of the Masonic Order and served as county treasurer for a period of three years until the office was abolished. Funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. E. Brickhouse. Persons came from all parts of the county, enough to twice fill the church, bearing mute testimony to the esteem in which Capt. Billy was held. Active pallbearers were H. C. Weaver, R. K. Carroll, G.

Tourists Frighten Ruben With Report "You have just killed a man. Come on back with us and help us take him out of the road." Two South Carolina tourists were addressing H. Ruben, proprietor of a store at Warrenton, as he stood by his car at a filling station near Kittrell on Wednesday afternoon. "What's that," the merchant exclaimed in distress. "I haven't hit anybody." "Yes, you did," they told. "You just passed us a few minutes ago at the bottom of the hill about a mile back. When we got to the top of the hill we found a man lying in the road and blood. We didn't meet any one and no one passed us." "I didn't hit anybody and I'm not going back, but I'll wait here," Mr, Ruben said. Seven or eight volunteers went to the scene, and presently came back to relieve Kfr. Ruben's mind and to remove the pall of gloom. They found a man in the highway, apparently dead, but he was a local sufferer from epilepsy. He had walked into the road from the woods, with a bucket of blackberries, and fallen, crushing the blackberries to add a touch of gore to the highway. r l _ r> r rienas ueneruus a u Library This Week A very attractive shelf of books, a valuable addition to the children's section, as presented to the library on their return from New York last week by Mr. and Mrs. F.
