Delivery of only one bale of cotton
as half-sh: re from a ten acre
crop led to an investigation that resulted
in W. H. Mayfield, negro of
near Warrenton, being arranged be.
fore Magistrate Frank Newell here
on Tuesday morning on a charge
of disposing of mortgaged property.
Before the trial was over, Peggy
Mayfield, witness was involved, and
her name was included in the warrant.
Evidence was that the husband
and wife and two oldest chil
dren, age 11 and 13, naa soia cotton
to several gins around Warren,
ton. Confronted with this evidence,
the defendants admitted their guilt,
it is said.
W. H. Mayfield was bound over
to higher court under $500 bond.
Unable to raise this amount he was
placed in jail.
The case of the wife offered a
problem to Magistrate Newell when
he learned that Peggy was the
mother of six children, the oldest
of whom was 13 years of age. Being
unwilling to send the children to
the county home, he gave the mother
a seveiie lecture and placed her
bond at $50, which she was unable
to give. He instructed Deputy Neal
to carry her to jail and then told
him to turn her out at 4 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon upon her own
recognizance.
Prepare For Weevil
Early This Year
Cotton growers are beginning to
realize that control of the boll
weevil is a regular part of the routine
in growing cotton and that to
J continue growing the crop at a
profit, provision must be made for
this work.
"We are receiving hundreds of re.
quests from all parts of the cotton
growing section asking for definite
information about the boll weeviV'
says C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist
at State college. "Manufacturers
of dusting machinery and
calcium arsenate tell us that they
the receiving orders and indications
are that a number of dusting outfits
will be sold throughout the
State this season. Those who buy
these expensive implements must
keep in mind one important fact.
Dusting must be done exactly right
or no results will be obtained."
Mr. Brannon says that in most
farm operations there is no exact
way of doing things. One must use
his own judgment within certain
limits about how he shall plow, cul.
tivate, apply fertilizers or harvest;
but, when it comes to poisoning the
boll weevil by dusting, there is only
one way and growers should not
jump into weevil control without
being adequately equipped and fully
informed. Much money has been
wasted in the past because poisoning
has not been done right. Yet the
methods have been standardized
since 1917 and are both practical)
and efficient.
There are a number of North
Carolina cotton growers who havei
poisoned successfully and have produced
good crops of cotton despite
ravages by the weevil. Mr. Brannon
offers to send detailed information
about how this is done to any
grower who will write him for the!
information.

Young Negro Boy
Found Unconscious
In Public Road
Discovering a young negro boy
lying in the road near the Jim Frazier
home, between Macon and
Warren Plains, a young citizen hurried
here Monday morning to report
the matter to Sheriff Williams. The
sheriff with Dr. W. D. Rodgers,
county health officer, went to the
scene where they found Lawrence
King, who had just started home
with the boy.
Examination by Dr. Rodgers dis

closed minor injuries to uie uuy,
John Henry Simms, who was judged
to be about 12 or 13 years old. He
was carried home after first aid
treatment. The parents said that he
had been sent for the mail, and the
presumption prevails that he was
struck by a car?though the boy
didn't know what hit him.
Farm Tax Burden
Is Too Heavy
Farmers are carrying the chief
burden of taxes today because taxing
systems are based mainly on an
intiquated property tax. The only
hope the farmer has for permanent
tax relief is through a complete and
thorough revision of the present tax
system in North Carolina and the
establishment of an effective tax
administration.
This is the opinion of Dr. G. W.
Forster, agricultural economist at
State college, who made a thorough
study of farm taxes for the State
Tax Commission in 1928. As a result
of these studies, Dr. Forster believes
the farmer is unfairly taxed. He
advocates a system including a personal
income tax designed to reach
all personal income derived from
whatever source, emphasizing es.
peciahy the need for reaching intangible
personal property, which

OF WARREN, N. C., FRID
Rock Harris Dies
In Hospital; Branch
To Be Tried Today
Death resulting from a blow by a
iron pipe came to Gerard (Rock)
Harris, 38, Wamenton negro blacksmith
in the Durham hospital on
Sunday evening, and this afternoon
Hubert Branch, a carpenter, will be
brought from Warren jail to the
court house for a preliminary hear
ing before Magistrate W. C. Fagg at
2 o'clock. Harris remained uncon.
scious virtually up to the time of
his death. The blow was struck in
the**Carrington shoe shop at Warren
ton on Tuesday evening about 6
o'clock, January 28th.
Harris was carried immediately
to Boyce Drug Store where after
first aid treatment by Dr. G. H.
Macon he was sent to the Durham
hospital. Branch was captured
within an hour after the blow by
Officers Bovell and Drake. He was
found in the basement of the colored
Methodist church. He has been
in jail since that evening.
Julius Banzet will appear as private
prosecution for the Harris
family. Branch will be defended by
Polk & Gibbs and John H. Kerr Jr.
Funeral services for Harris were
held here Tuesday afternoon.
Fiddlers To Meet
At Norlina On 21st
By ROBERT E. SCOTT, Press Agent
"Ho for Norlina, thats the town
for me" (with proper apologies).
Tliis place noted in the past for its
high class entertainments of this
kind, will present in the High School
Auditorium Friday night, February
21st, beginning promptly at 8 o'clock
?what gives every assurance of
being one of the finest Fiddlers
Conventions held in a long long
time.
The committee on arrangements:
M.ossrs tt f: Johnson. T. T. Hawks.
R. M. White and J. H. Fleming,
have been unceasing in their efforts
to bring together performers
of a high order. Of the one hundred
and twenty five or more musicians
invited a large number have
already signified their eagerness to
participate. Among those expected
will be such well known entertainers
as Messrs. Horton of Raleigh, Johnson
of Rosemary and White of Traf.
fice, Va. Mr. Horton is well known
to the Radio Public, his programs
being broadcast each Thursday
evening from Raleigh. There will be
other headliners, too. Let us not
overlook these in our midst who
have the God-given talent of being
able to wring from their instruments
those melodies which seem, veritably,
to lift our souls from deepest
pathos into the realms of shocrest
delight.
Aside from the fact that this
Convention promises music coming
from hands of more than ordinary
skill it also offers a happy diversion
from that produced by the so called
modern Jazz Age. Some of the selections
we will hear were no doubt en.
joyed by our foreratners generations
ago, whose rythmic tone and beauty
seem only to mellow and become
sweeter as the years go by.
The mantle of Master-of-Ceremonies
will fall on the shoulders of
none other than those of the Honorable
Julius Banzet, and the pep
that Banzet injects into such proceedings
disperses any fears or
doubts that there will be any dull
or lagging moments.
Bob White is so excited over this
Convention, I hear he drilled an
artesian well when he was only supposed
to go down fifty feet. Mr.
Johnson stopped two Florida Trains.
I have since heard that this rumor
was incorrect. Mr. Fleming has even
forgotten about the low price of tobacco
and Dick Hawks, I understand,
is just as enthused as the
rest.
There will be added attractions
which will liven up the occasion.
J. L. Watson, with his accomplished
wife at the piano, is billed to render
several vocal selections in his
inimitable way, these rolling songs
of his never fail to please an audience.
There will be other features,
too, which should make this a gala
event.
Provision has been made for
handling a large crowd, and the
mmfnrts nf fhp audience will be well
cared for. Valuable cash prizes will
be awarded the various winners,
ranging from $2.50 to $15 00 The
price of admission will he only 20
and 40 cents, the proceeds to be donated
for charitable purposes. Ladies
of the Parent-Teacher Association
will serve refreshments for the per_
formers.
We all nearly become afflicted
with the St. Vitas Dance at a Fiddlers
Convention, so lets be there
on time for this evenings entertainment.
Back out the old Lizzie; there
will be parking space for the Cadilac
too,

Co-operative Committee

TWO PLANS MENTIONED
RALEIGH, Feb. 13.?North Carolina
tobacco growers should reduce
their acreage for 1930, the committee
of 15 appointed to discuss organization
of a State Co-operative
for the handling of tobacco, has decided.
The committee, with 13 of its
members at the meeting, also regarded
rather apathetically the idea
of a co-operative to handle this
year's tobacco crop but Dean I. O.
Schaub, after the meeting, expressed
belief that a strong and efficient
organization would be perfected to
handle the 1931 crop.
It was believed after the meeting
of the committee that no co-operative
will be formed before next
year. It. was said that any organization
was very improbable, but not
impossible.
Memlisrs of the committee shewing
very little enthusiasm, expressed
feeling that a co-operative at
this time would not have the support
of the farmers and that many
growers would seek to profit at the
expense of those who might join and
loyally support such an association.
The committee finally agreed to
appoint a sub-committee to study
two alternative plans for a co-operative
and report back to the ful1
committee in 30 days.
The two plans mentioned were
for a State-wide centralized co.
operative or for a federated, decentralized
organization based on
districts comprising one or more
counties, according to production.
The committee also discussed obtaining
government graders of the
principal markets in the State.
Two Men Face
Judge Rodwell On
Charge of Larceny
Charged with larceny, Roy Jenson
and Lewis Autolina, were taxed
with the cost in the case and ordered
to pay the prosecuting witness
the sum of $1.15 by Judge T. O.
Rodwell in Recorder's Court at
Warrenton on Monday.
The only other case of the morning,
in which W. P. Overby was
charged with disposing of mortgaged
property, was withdrawn by
the magistrate who sent the case Co
the county court.
Widespread War
On Illicit Liquor
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.?Sporadic
raids and indictments in widely
scattered parts of the United States
in the last few days point to a
country-wide federal drive against
illicit liquor rings, tne United
Press learned tonight from a usually
reliable source.
The informant said that stacks
of indictments were being prepared
for issue immediately against al
leged distillers and wholesalers of
alcohol throughout the United
States.
Indictments against 31 corporations
and 156 individuals here on
Monday merely were the first blast
in the Federal campaign to dam
the torrent of alcohol which annually
is finding its way into "the
bottled in bonds" trade, he said.
Jones law indictments today in
St. Louis of 133 persons, including
two women, believed to be a national
reqoid for the number charged
at one time under the statute,
were taken as another straw showing
which way the prohibition
winds are blowing.
"Drastic changes" in the whole
prohibition enforcement organization
of the country may be expected
confidently before the end of
the year, the United Press was told.

Says Farm Board Is
Still Advancing 16c
Pound For Cotton
Hugh Johnson, Field Representative
of the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Association, while in town
today remarked that the Cotton Association
with the Federal Farm
Board is still advancing sixteen
cents per pound on cotton basis
middling seven eignis to us growci
members even though the recent de- <
clines in the price of cotton hate i
occurred. He said no member had ]
been called to put up any additional i
margin on seasonal pool cotton of
the 1929 crop on which sixteen cents i
had been advanced which shows
that the Farm Board is standing by
its plan to make this advance pos_
sible.
Mr. Johnson says the great difficulty
heretofore with the farmer
was that when prices were below
the cost of production, he found it
necessary to sell, regardless of the
prevailing price, but that the Federal
Government has recognized the
fact that agriculture needed a real I
friend and seeing this need, has
shown that cotton farmers can j
draw a liberal advance and at the
same time know that their cotton i
may bring them additional money
later on.
U. B. Blalock, General Manager 1
of the North Carolina Cotton 1
Growers Co-operative Association, 1
has just been placed on tne Advisory
Commodity Committee of the
Federal Farm Board, Mr. Johnson
said. "This committee will devote
its energy in working out plans ;
that they can present to the Farm ,
Board that will prove of inestimable
value to the cotton producers of
the south as well as to producers ,
of other commodities in other sec- |
