Approximately 875,000 children will enroll in the public elementary and high schools of the State during 1929-30, accurumg iu an esuniaie mane 111 the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction based on the increase of total school enrollments for preceding years. Figures for preceding school years indicate that there will be approximately 605,000 white children and 270,000 negro children, who will either begin or continue their education at the State's public schools. It is estimated that more than 100,000 of these children will make their appearance at the schoolhouse door to get their first insight into the meaning of public education. It is further estimated that of the total public school enrollment of 875,000 during 1929-30 approximately 120,000 will be in the high school grades, 105,000 white children and approximately 15,000 negro children. Last year, 1928-29, there were 96,739 white boys and girls and 13,236 negro children, a total of 109 ,975, enrolled in the public high schools. The estimate for 1929-30, therefore, is based on the supposition that there will be on inoroaco rvf dhnilf. 11 000 in high Mil VMUV VA WWWMV Ajvwv asa school. Since 12,145 of the 109,975 high school students graduated this past year, then there will be nearly 25,000 boys and girls who will enter high school for the first time. According to the educational statistics, the enrollment in the elementary grades will be approximately 500,000, or identical with the past few years, since the enrollment in high school will practically absorb the increase in total school enrollment. Urges That Tobacco Be Marketed Slowly RICHMOND. Va.,Sept. 3?Letters are being sent out liom the office of the Tobacco Association of the United States here to tobacco grow ers in Eastern North Carolina, Middle Belt and Old Belt areas calling to the attention of the farmers a resolution adopted at the annual convention of the Associaj tion in June. I This resolution urges farmers not to rush their tobacco to the markets and requests the buying interest to keep buyers on the auction markets until the crop is disposed of, thus avoiding congestion and giving the buyers better opportunity to examinine the piles and in (a great degree prevent overcrowding the redrying plants. Interests supporting the Association believe that a longer selling period will give greater opportunity to judge tobacco offered for sale and render it unnecessary for them to curtail purchases on account of ( Continued on Page 8 ) EGERTON RECOVERING Gray Egerton, 26, who was injured last Monday evening when he was thrown from a lumber truck near the highway bridge at rrpek. is recovering at his home here. Three other persons, who were on the empty truck at the time, were only slightly bruised, but Mr. Egerton was painfully though not seriously injured. The driver of the truck was blinded by dust and plunged into a bank, shaking Mr. Egerton from the machine. -- rgtxg 4 armt OF WARREN, N. C., FRIDA 3 "Stay-At-Home" Dollars Are To Be Circulated Here In an effort to show what circulating dollars will do in the business life of a community and to foster the trade-at-home idea, The Warren Record today is placing three "Stay-at-Home Dollars" in the avenues of trade here. These dollars are to work in this community until next Wednesday and a record of their progress kept. The dollars, regular United States ones, will be started from Hunter Drug Co., Boyce Drug Co. and Tom's Place. On one side will be attached a slip of paper reading, "I am a 'Stay-at-Home Dollar', keep me at work. When you spend me, tell what for, but spend me here." The plan works like this: Spent at Tom's Place on account?Pett Boyd. Then Tom Tunstall would spend it, say, with Bill Boyce for gas. Boyce would take it to the Cash Co. for a necktie. That is the general idea. Each time it passes into the hands of a person or firm, just state what it was paid for and sign. Watch for the three dollars and keep them moving. Yesterday in talking over the idea with a Warrenton merchant, Raymond Modlin, he said that once several years ago he was standing with a group of men at Rocky Mount when one gentleman said to another: "Here's that $5 I owe you." It was accepted with thanks and the comment as he turned to another one of the group, "I owe you something, apply this on account." Mr. Modlin is authority for the statement that in five minutes that one five dollar bill had paid $25 worth of debts and the man who started it on such a iournev had it when its good will and good business mission was temporarily over. The only trouble about the "Stayat-Home Dollar" lies in the fact that it meets death when it is sent out of town or when it gets into the hands of any one who will not spend it. The little journeys in finance will be watched during the next few days. "Its dollars to doughnuts" that they will have interesting journeys about town. Help 'em along. Jones And Stallings Go To Milwaukee William Duke Jones of the Press Publishing Co. and Petar M. Stallings Jr., son of the auditor for Warren county, depart on Sunday for Milwaukee where they go to work for the Aero Corporation of America. Both are greatly interested in aviation and plan to study airplane engines and the science of flying. Mr. Stallings was graduated from the Macon high school last year. Mr. Jones, top sergeant of B Co., has been an employe of the Press Publishing Co. for a number of j years.

Sfcrn lY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1929 MOTION FAIIS TO IIXV/XXVJll 1 XUUU IV SECURE SECOND Skinner Moves That County Pay Pinnell's Hospital Bill; Wounded In Action ** BOARD HAS QUIET DAY A motion by Commissioner John L. Skinner that the county of Warren pay the hospital bill of R. L. Pinnell, wounded while attempting to arrest a criminal, failed to receive a second at the regular meeting of the county board here on Monday. A motion that Warren pay half the bill, likewise failed to receive a second. Deputy Pinnell was wounded by John "Buddy" Macon, negro, at the home of Baldy Mitchell near Afton on May 3 and1 as a result was forepH fn cnonH cpvprol Tirpolrc in fVio Henderson hospital. Macon at the same time mortally wounded Sam Pinnell, a brother of Robert Pinnell, and was captured by Hunter Pinnell, another brother, and Walter Mustian. Commissioner Skinner expressed the thought that as Mr. Pinnell was wounded in line of duty that the county should at least bear onehalf of the expense, if not the entire amount. The other members of the board seemingly did not share this view. Although the members were in session practically the entire day, only matters of routine nature were disposed of. The board ordered that former Sheriff R. E. Davis be allowed all taxes due said R. E. Davis for the TToot* 1Q9R onH nrirvr fn that". VPflT Jtai Xi/flu uiiu ww uiMv j ww? except land sales. It was ordered that a note in the sum of $1500, payable in 90 days, be made by River township in anticipation of collection of taxes. The board ordered that a note for $600, payable in 90 days, be made by Fishing Creek township in anticipation of collection of taxes. A note in the sum of $500 was also authorized under the same terms for Fork township, and a similar one in the sum of $1100 for Judkins. The board ordered that the discount feature of the Machinery Act, relative to the payment of taxes, be published in every newspaper of the county for four weeks, beginning September 19. It was ordered that J. B. Davis be refunded amount of special school taxes paid by him for a number of persons, they not being in the special school district. L. E. Baird received a county voucher for $20 for the capture of a still, under order of the board. When former Jailer Fate Weaver vacated the county bastile he left his bath tub. The tub having become a fixture of the jail, the board ordered that Mr. Weaver be paid $22 for the same. WINS PRIZE Mrs. N. M. Palmer, past president, and Mrs. Claude Bowers, president of Warrention Legion Auxiliary for 1930, attended the State convention of the American Legion Auxiliary at Raleigh on August 27th and 28th. The Limer Post Auxiliary received a prize of citation, in the form of a certificate of merit, for meeting all requirements for unit work during the year. "Warrenton unit appreciates this very much, since it covers tne worK of the organization for the whole year and includes special work of nearly all the members," Mrs. Palmer said yesterday.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME C?* NUMBER 36 Lauren schools BECINFALLTERH Nearly 500 Pupils Are Enrolled Here; An Extra Teacher Employed MEET HERE TOMORROW f* flaj i With enrollment approaching the 500 mark in the John Graham high school here, school authorities were this week faced with the necessity of employing another teacher to assist in relief work in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. This position has been accepted by Miss Mattie Davis, graduate of the school. Yesterday J. Edward Allen, superintendent of education, said that the schools here and over the coun ty naa commencea auspiciously, ai- . though numbers of the teachers were burdened with more work than formerly on account of the requirements of the recent Statewide school law. Busses, he said, were being operated to capacity, and in some instances congestion had to be relieved. From Mrs. Joseph S. Jones, county nurse, came the news that more than 2500 school children of the county had been vaccinated. The treatment will be given others in accordance with the law whioh makes vaccination against smallpox compulsory for all school children. It was pointed out by a physician yesterday that the work which Mrs. Jones had done saved many dollars to parents of the children. The medical fee for vaccination is $1. This physician said that he thought more than 96 per cent of those school children treated had been cared for by the county nurse. The serum is furnished the county free, it is said. Parents have been coming into Warrenton from all sections for books, and everything seems to be shipshape for carrying out the plans of the board and committeemen. The school conference here Saturday, attended by -the truck drivers and committeemen, was exceedingly beneficial, it was said. Tomorrow the first general teach ers meeting will be held at 11 o'clock in the Court House, and every teacher in the county school system is required to attend. Represent State At International School To secure leadership training, . two advanced 4-H club members from Catawba County, Miss Vinnie Lee McCombs of Conover and Philip Lutz of Newton have been selected by agricultural extension workers at State College to represent the club members of North Carolina at the International 4-H Training School to be held at Springfield, Massachusetts, September 8 to 12. Miss McCombs is 22 years old and has been a club member for 13 years. During te period of club work from 1925 to 1928, she earned a total of $4,288 on her club projects. From a poultry flock alone she earned $3,243.06. Other earnings were from calf, corn, pig, makketing and clothing projects. Some money was also made from exhibits at fairs. She was one of the girls to be awarded a trip to the annual 4-H short course at State College this Summer by the Southern Planter of Richmond. Philip Lutz has been no less successful. At the age of 21, he has been a club member for 13 years also. During this time, he has earned a net profit of $3,819.51 including returns from corn, cotton, pig, calf and poultry projects. He has served his local club in all official positions and is now conducting a successful dairy farm as a partner with his father andv older brother. The herd consists of about 50 in . .. i_ i i.i * i_ minting animais ana me iann is doing the largest retail dairy business in the county. Last year, Philip produced 113.1 bushels of corn on one acre of land. The two young folks have been closely associated with Miss Anna Rowe, home agent, and J. Wade Hendricks, farm agent, of Catawba County. Both plan to do further work as local leaders in 4-H club activities.
