Supreme Court Rules Alston Can Not Recover Tax The State Supreme court on Wednesday affirmed the decision of Judge M. V. Barnhill, made at Warrenton during the January term, that Edward Alston, Fork township citizen, was not entitled to recover from the board of county commissioners taxes on lands in 1926 and 1927. Mr. Alston sought $471.78 for 192u and $347.88 for 1927. The case was argued before the Supreme Court on September 10ui by Julius Banzet, county attorney, and Garland Daniel of High Point. Mr. Alston was represented by Murray Allen of Raleigh. Mr. Alston had persistently pressed his claims against the county during the administration of two boards of county commissioners and could not get the relief he thought his due. Judge Barnhill ruled against him in January. He took the issue to the Supreme Court, which found that the boards had acted in accord with me law. Arkansan Is Named As Leader Of Legion LOUISVILLE, Oct. 3.?O. L. Bcdenhamer of El Dorado, Ark., was elected national commander of the American Legion here today. The election was made unanimous upcn motion of Albert L. Cox of Raleigh, who had been regarded as the only other serious contender for the commandership. It was done in a burst of applause. Bodenhamer is the first man in the history cf the legion ever to be elected without a roll call. The delegates staged a demonstration which resembled that of a national political convention. State banners were carried to the stage after Bodenhamer's nomination, and he was also carried to the platform on the shoulders of Arkansas delegates. When the roll call was started Alabama yielded to North Carolina and Cox rcse and placed Bodenhamer in nomination. After Boston won next year's convention over Los Angeles legionnaires were free to turn their attention to the commandership and legion politicians became busy. The three who appeared late last night to be receiving the most verbal support were Bodenhamer, Cox and O'Neil. ^ ^ D?1 rt r? Ac ^astenoe ivcatguo no Principal At Norlina Resignation of D. M.

'^h trmt f OF WARREN, N. C., FR Hold Funeral For Young Girl Killed By Car At Littleton Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon for Elizabeth Rainey, 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Rainey of Littleton, who died on Saturday afternoon as a result of injuries received when she was struck by a car driven by Frsd Keeter of that city. Eye witnesses to the accident testified to Coroner E. Hunter Pinnell following the accident that Mrs. Rainey and her daughter were returning from downtown when the former stopped her car in crder to let her daughter out to run into the store of Frank Rainey near the bottling plant. A truck driven by Herman Riggan pulled up behind the Rainey car in order to let an approaching automobile driven by Mr. Keeter pass. The girl passed frcm her car behind the parked truck and stepped into the path of Mr. Keeter's car, it was said. Mr. Rainey immediately stopped, picked the girl up and started with her to the Roanoke Rapids hospital, 20 miLes away, but death resulted before arriving. Mr. Pinnell said yesterday that his investigation revealed that it was an unavoidable accident. Much sympathy has been expressed at Littleton for the Rainey family and for JKIr. Keeter. Picot Associated With Nelson Case In reporting the trial of the Nelson insurance case last week in both the Warren Record and The Warren-Halifax Times, the reporter, taking the word of a gentleman in the Court House as to the lawyers in the case, failed to mention John Picot of Littleton as associate counsel with Travis & Travis and Joseph P. Pippen. It was an oversight which is regretted, and it is thus corrected. Mr. Picot rendered valuable service in the case, and it .if with pleasure that this newspaper* makes this correction and prints below a letter from Mr. Pippen which is explanatory: Editor Warren Record, Sir:?In your issues of the current week, you carry an account of the suit "Nel son, Administratrix, vs. Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company" under the heading: "Mrs. Nelson Wins Insurance Case". The accounts are accurate, except for the statement as to attorneys representing the plaintiff. In addition to he firm cf Travis & Travis and the writer, Mr. J. M. Picot, appeared for the plaintiff, and, as always, was of great help and assistance to his associates. This error of omission, certainly inadvertently made, should be corrected, and I am sure you will take pleasure in doing sc. With aesuranc.e of my highest personal regard, I am, Yours, very truly, JOS. P. PIPPEN.

The exhibit will be sponsored by the 1 Woman's club which was respon- s sible for the showing of oil paintings last year. In a foreword describing the various etchings and prints, Leila Mechlin, secretary of the American Federation of Arts, says: "This collection of 40 prints by thirty-two contemporary artists r evidences the great diversity today s in manner and handling among t print makers, for here we have ex- v amples of the work of the most con- t servative, those who adhere closely e to tradition, and of the most revo- j iiit.innnrv th.e so-called nrogressives. ? And yet it should be noted that f when brought together as in this c instance they are not inharmonious; j so after all, we must conclude that there are many right ways and that . no cne who really has something to say and says it well is to be con- c sidsred outside the pale. "In this exhibit effort was made to show their best some of the so- . called Modernists, for these are they who are making history; and ' at the same time it was desired to e show, through example, how eminently important is the work of 1 those who are preserving tradition? 1 the structure upon which all great * art of the future must be built." * Sheriff First To List; 1 Powell First To Pay Tax books for the county of War- j ren are now in the hands of Sheriff j O. D. Williams and the invitation to pay is being generally broadcast, r The first citizen to accept was T. ( E. Powell, list taker for Warrenton j township, who will not have to be i worried oy the sheriff in some ( time. 1 The first citizen of Warrenton t 1 township to list taxes was Sheriff ^ . Williams. "I will be glad if the < folks will take advantage of the < 1 discount law and pay promptly, t . You know I will hate to have to < collect the taxes later with a penalty," the sheriff commented.

The truck was oattered some and Harton's car oadly damaged. Harton, by his own evidence, said that he was driving in excess of the speed limit. The case was strenuously argued by Polk & Gibbs and Hiliary Matthews for Mr. Ayscue who came into court with character witnesses aplenty. Julius Banzet appeared for the State, associated with Sam G. Daniel. Under the law a driver entering a road from the right lias the right of way over a driver coming down the road to the left of the driver entering. The court held that Mr. Ayscue was within his rights. A fine cf $25 and costs was entered against Peter Brown Jr. for reckless driving. Brown noted an appeal through his attorney, Julius Banzet. W.

The State did not prove that John Coleman, negro of Wise, was guilty of carrying a concealed weapon. He was charged with having a razor, ^ but the State did prove that he had been drunk and disorderly at a public place, and the court said "three months on the roads." One of a group of jazz singers, Thomas B. Malone, was let down with the cost. He was charged with singing "rough songs" in front of the home of O. C. Leonard, who lives about a mile and a half from Maccn. There were a number of ladies at Leonard's. Several of the singers in the group quit wabbling when the law got to work. Malor.? had to face the music all alone. Macon Carter, who has another name of "Bush", went to the roads for four months and paid the costs. He came from near Littleton and had a gun which the law said shouldn't be concealed. Tires and oil stolen from BoydC-illam Co. and the Warrenton Service Station led to the arrest of Herbert Taylor and Charlie Williams on a larceny count. Charlie was found not guilty, but Herbert got four months on the roads, with sentence suspended if he remains law abiding. James Williams, charged with assault with intent to kill, was given six months on the roads. The court confiscated the weapon.
