Many, many others over the county have been listening-in at private sets. There is still much love for the game in the old county and throughout this section. Most of the fans here are for Connie Mack's Athletics, but there is enough difference of opinion for a few wagers and always the pool for the inning scoring. It looks like the Philadelphia boys have the series tucked away, but the next chapter comes this afternoon, and who knows? The team that wins the best four out of seven games will be acclaimed champions of the world. The following account is taken from the lead stories of the two games played. WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO, Oct. 8?With a twirling masterpiece that actrvnichrH tho hacohall nrnrlrl WUVW44W41VVI V*iV VWWWUrIA nviiu in general and the Chicago Cubs in particular, Howard Ehmke, long, lean, right-hander, slow balled the Philadelphia Athletics to victory over the National champions today, 3 to 1, in the opening game of the World's Series. At the age of 35, when he was supposed to be well on the downward path and a second string man at best in the A's cast of stars, Ehmke baffled the battling Bruins, justified the unexpected faith of the veteran Ccnnie Mack and brought his triumph to a climax by smashing the World's Series records for strike-outs. When the towering, angular ; Ehmke, in an exciting ninth inning finish, fanned Pinch Hitter Char- 1 ley Tolson for the third out with two men on bases, he choked off ; the last of three Cub threats in ( dramatic fashion with his thirteenth strike out victim of the game. Surpasses Record This surpasses the former World's Series record 12 strike-outs, made in 1903 by Big Ed Walsh, the famous White Sox iron man, who had ( the Cubs as victims on that occasion. , Walter Johnson of the Senators fanned 12 Giants in the first game of the 1924 series, but it took 10 innings for him to do it. Just a few moments before Ehmke, hit hard in the side by a line drive from Hack Wilson's bat, had fallen to the ground, seemingly hurt at a moment when he had victory and the record in his grasp. There was a dramatic pause until he jumped up; a hurried consultation before he resumed pitching. His hope of a shut-out were blasted when the Cubs scored their only run on a two-base wild throw by Dykes on Cuyler's grounder, and a single by Stephenson, but the tall moundsman finished the game in ~ Kio 7Q r\f clnrv iX UlMtis* vr* 0?? ^ . WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO, ' Oct. 9?The Athletics changed their tune today, but it was still a dirge ' so far as the Cubs and their hopes ' of World's Series conquests are con cerned. Connie Mack's American League champions said it with base hits instead of slow curves as they ham- i mered the Chicago team into submission, 9 to 3, captured their second game in a row and started back toward Philadelphia with the 1929 championship of the baseball world apparently in their grasp. The home stand of the Cubs ended in an almost complete rout as the rampant Athletics, led by the ( Continued On Page 12 ) Aliens Visit Friends Here This Week George G. Allen, chairman of the board of the Duke Foundation! and one of the vice presidents of the British-American Tobacco Co., was a visitor at Warrenton this week. He was accompanied by Mrs. Allen and Miss Lucy Allen. They came here after attending the dedicatory exercises at Duke University. Mr. Allen visited relatives and was on renewed frienasmpo. the floors of the tobacco warehouse Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Allen and Miss Lucy Allen departed on (Tuesday for a motor trip through the Valley of Virginia before returning t<?

Delegates were in attendance from almost all of the churches in the district. After the celebration of the Holy communion, with the Rev. B. N. de Foe-Wagner, celebrant, the delegates and visitors were welcomed by Miss Anna Collins. Mrs. R. H. Lewis cf Oxford responded. Roll call, minutes and the report of the department secretary were next heard. A report on religious education was made by Miss Katherine Hilliard of Oxford, on box work by Mrs. M. C. Taylor cf Oxford, and on the United thank offering by Mrs. H. G. Cooper of Oxford. Mrs. H. G. Cooper of the Granville capital discussed the prayer partnership plan, and Mrs. J. D. Scott cf Ridgeway gave an interesting account of Christian social service work. Noonday prayers were conducted by the Rev. Elwood L. Haines of Greensboro, and the delegates heard with interest a report on the church army by the Rev. Duncan Thomas and Mr. Smith of Erwin. A talk which held close attention was made by Miss Bessie Blacknail, missionary to Alaska. After an enjoyable luncheon at the heme cf Mrs. White, diocesan matters were discussed in the afternoon session by the Rev. Elwood L. Haines anr a report on the Kauuga conference given by Miss Katherine Hilliard. One of the winning features of the day was the music by Mrs. B. M. Collins, organist at the Church of the Good Shepherd. Attending from Warrenton were the Rev. and Mrs. B. N. de FoeWagner and Miss Estelle Wagner, Mcsdames Jack Scott, Hannah Arrington, A. A. Williams, Howard F. Jones, B. B. Williams, Sue B.

Two Men Steal Calf; Must Work Roads Six Months o:.. nn thp roads and I OiA ILLXJXl 11 lu v*t v*?w _ ;osts was the sentence given Robert Lee Alston and Charlie Powell m Monday by Recorder T. O. Rodveil. The negroes were charged vith the larceny of a calf. Alston ras a bad court record, but his lompanion in this infraction against the law was unknown in his section. It is understood here that oficers at Norfolk are coming here either tomorrow or the first of the iveek to see if Alston is the person ix-nnt.ed there in connected with a D. Pender robbery in which a man was killed. If he is, the officers ivho captured him will figure in distribution of a $500 reward. In the other case of the morning, the Recorder found that Albert, Sam and Willie Jones, young white men who live on the Jack Johnson place in River township, were not guilty of the larceny of a calf. The case was sent to Recorder's court by Magistrate T. C. Alston of Littleton. Sparks Fly, Track In Smoke, But No Wreck j "The fireman looked at the water and the water was Inur" aw n ?Something like that from Casey Jones? "But the conductor looked at the track and it was all aglow." Seeing the sparks flying and smoking cross ties, the conductor on the Seaboard fast freight No. 82 swung quickly on the emergency cord Wednesday morning between Warren Plains and Macon. The train stopped below Macon, investigation disclosed that the two rear trucks on one of the cars) toward the rear of the train had ) jumped the track. The engineer ) had gone steadily ahead. No one felt the shock as the train kept to the track. Cross ties were cut for about a mile and several rails scarred. It might have been a wreck if the conductor hadn't looked at the track and found it all aglow. Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Brauer and daughter of Ridge way were visitors here on Tuesday. Mr. T. L.

OFFICERS BRING RESULTS TO JAIL Steam Plant and Much Material Nabbed In Nutbush; Other Around Grove Hill MEN ARE NOT CAPTURED i ? Twenty-four dozen empty fruit jars, four sacks of malt, 75-feet copper worm, and a complete boiler steam plant was brought to Warrenton on Monday by J. T. Ellington, J. C. Hardy, H. E. Brewer, and L. G. Walston. It had been captured by these men that morning about two miles south of Manson. They reported that 6,000 gallons of beer were destroyed at the still. No men were seen neither was there any whiskey found, they said. Evidence was at hand that everything was in readiness for the manufacturing business on a big scale during the night?but the law steppsd in. Most of the nlants recently captured in Warren have been of the steam variety. Twenty-five gallons of liquor and 2,000 gallons of beer were destroyed in a laid below Grove Hill yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock by Officers R. O. Snipes and Frank lVeal. The boiler, which was made from oil barrels, was cut up, the officers said. No one was captured, but the officers say that a person, 'whose identity is a mystery, was making fast tracks for parts unknown when last seen. Detention Home Is Need, Worker Says Thronsh co-ooeration of a wel fare worker in another county, two children of Warren who have been lost to their mothers were located and their mother taken to visit them, Miss Lucy Leach, County VSTelfare Officer, related in her report to the board of county commissioners in regular session here on Monday. Examination of the diseased and a search for quarters and clothing for the poor and unfortunate occupied much of the time of the welfare worker during September, her report shows. Three white children were during that month admitted to orphanages. One colored deaf and dumb boy was taken to the Institute at Raleigh, and one white girl was placed in a good home. A white T. B. patient was admitted to the State Sanatorium, and a white woman was admitted to the hospital. Three white boys were examined. One of these had his eyes examined and needed glasses provided; the second was examined at the clinic, and the third was taken to hospital for examination and treatment. A colored baby was placed in a good home. Miss Leach in discussing her work said a detention home was * ' ' in greatly neeaea in tne wuiiy, m which children can be cared for ..?m Irifn snmp ODhan LUX 0X1 OUiUlVWU Ma WW age. She also pointed out the need of a home for T. B. patients where they can be cared for until they can be admitted into the State Sanatorium for tuberculosis sufI ferers.

The market to date hat scld more tobacco than last yeai at this time, and the farmers as a rule have been pleased. Warehousemen and buyers, almost all of whom are local men and intensely interestel in the welfare of the market, have been following the cries cf Auctioneer Jones with keenness, and the bidding has been with spirit and good cheer. Few tickets have been turned during the season. Farmers hope that the rise in the price of cigarettes which was announced in the past we?k by the big tobacco companies will bring better prices. Many estimate that it is impossible to raise tobacco for less than a 20c. per pound average, and this price is a long way in the effing yet. But the fact remains that this market is paying as good prices as any, and the persons who sell at Warrenton are receiving the bsst that the market affords. A rise in the price cf the weed cf from 3 to 6 cents a pound has been noted, tobacconists say. The week opened with a fine sale Monday, and farmers and warehousemen hepe that it will close with one even better today. Peck Mill Prepares To Store More Cotton Preparing for more storage room in their cotton warehouse, the Peck Manufacturing Co. is having a new storage plant built which will be used only fcr housing mill equipment. Upon its completion within the next two or three weeks room will be available for 400 or 500 more bales in the present storage warehouse, when mill equipment is moved into the new structure. L. C. Kinsey, superintendent, said yesterday that the mill had many needs for the added space. He pointed out, too, that during the past year tlie Peck Co. had bought xi more insn a c|u<tricr ui a imiuv/n dollars worth of local cotton. Norlina Road Will Be Wide Open Saturday The reconditioned Norlina road will be open for traffic tomorrow, according to information received last night. The retreated surface of the road makes an ideal highway, and its opening will be welcomed by motorists.

BREAKS ARM J. J. Harris, prominent farmer of the Macon section, broke his arm last week while at work on a pasture fence. His friends are pleased to learn that it is improving. MOST OF THE NEWS j ALL THE TIME ;{'fj NUMBER 41 NEWELL REFUSES ENDORSE NOTES Monday Was An Unusually Quiet Day With Board County Commissioners COULDN'T SEE REASON Monday was one of the quietest "irst Mondays in Warren in some time. The boards of education and jcmmissioners were in session, with "ull attendance, but everything noved rather smoothly in the channel of routine. A slight hitch came when Commissioner Frank B. Newell refused co endorse two notes of the b:ard jf county commissioners for money borrowed in anticipation of taxes, rhe board borrowed $10,000 for sixty days and $5,000 for ten days. . j The Other four commissioners si cm. ed. The money was needed for schools, and the loans follow-ed the usual routine of business in the county, with other members feeling rather good that more cash did not have to be borrowed. Mr. Newell said that he wouldn't sign. "I don't think it's right. Borrowed money has cost this county all grades of money." In respect to che $5,000 loan for money which the beard of education needed, Mr. Newell, formerly a member of the ooard of education, commented, "I don't see any reason why the board of education can't get along for ten days without borrowing." He wanted that written into the minutes, and it was so inscribed by Register of Deeds Joseph C. Powell. The other members argued that she credit of the county must always be protected and went ahead. R. H. Fisher, who figured in the Fisher-George case and who has since been freed of all blame, had a bill for $J0 before the board for painting on the inside of the jail His confinement had caused him to lose money, the painting was well done, it was said, and the board ordered him paid. Seventy-five dollars was paid C. B. Overby of Macon for a mule which he claimed had be-en bitten by a mad dog. Dr. G. H. Macon gave the statement of the case his okeh and general endorsement, and f.ha prmnii.?innpr? nniri Hv? hill V4?w w w wtii ^ under the law, allowing the amount for which the mule was listed. After the dog bit the mule, the mule bit another mule. This animal is now under treatment by a vetinarian. Mr. Newell wanted the $75 to settle the entire bill, but the board closed the matter. It may all depend upon the mule's health now as to further argument. Lawyers who argued the county's case before the Supreme Court and in the inferior court when Edward Alston of Fork was seeking to recover on taxes previously paid, were given total fees cf $225. These lawyers were Williams & Banzet, Garland and S. G. Daniel. Edward Davis of Inez was paid $154 for work already done on the storage house at the county home. The land of Moses Neal, citizen of Franklin county, was ordered valued at the average price of the agricultural lands of Fishing Creek township. Mr. Neal told the board that he had cut the timber from the property, and the reduction was given. The matters before the board of education were of a general routine nature. ST. MARY'S GUILD MEETS The first Fall meeting of St. Mary's Guild was held on Tuesday night at the home of the president, Mrs. Jack Scott. After prayers and scripture reading. Miss Bessie Blacknall gave an inspiring talk on her work in Alaska. A salad course was served.
