March 12.? Table <;tique*ce 400 years ago may 0not have attained the fine points of distinction offered today but, o nevertheless, the banquet board was s not wiihout its list of "do and t. don'ts," according to an ancient h handbook uncovered by students of t economics at the Oregon State College. It was considered proper table manners to throw bones, gristle, and uneaten parts of vegetables and meats behind one's chair, the 16th. century manual declared. Other instructions read: "At the beginning of the meal everybody should wash his hands in the presence of others in order that those who are going to put fv?oir Vmnrfs in the same dish to gether may have no doubt about the cleanliness of the other's hands. "It isn't proper," the book says, "to scratch yourself at the table, and one should abstain as much as posible from spitting on the floor, but if one has to, do it gentilely. MRS.

Wilson of the Carolina' Power and Light Company enjoyed a good bird feed this week, although the hunting season has been out almost a month. Yet Mr. Wilson is making no secret of the fact that he has been eating birds out of season and thinks he is beyond arrest The quail were killed on Sunday to boot The other fellow did the killing and Mr. Wilson , got the birds. It happened while he was on his way with his family for a short visit at Roanoke Rapids Driving along abont 40 miles an hour, his car was passed by another running -about .50 near Vaughan. Just as the car passed a covey of partridges flew across the road and two of the birds were struck and killed. The first car kept going. Mr. Wilson stopped and picked up the birds, ilw ? [DAY, 1930 =r, ^ LOliSIHJRfi road to be surveyed However, Sometime Yet Before State Takes Over ^Maintenance Job TO SHORTEN DISTANCE Work of surveying the road from wtui.cmuu i/U i\.eamey?seveu ui eight miles from the Franklin capitol?will begin in about three weeks, however it will be some time yet before the Highway Commission takes over the entire road for maintenance, according to a letter from John Sprunt Hill, road commissioner. Mr. Hill said that he would be unable to give the exact location of the road until the survey had been made, but that he was inclined to believe that the final location would follow closely along in Warren and that important relocation would take place in the Franklin portion so as to shorten the distance and cut out unneccessary curves. There has been an active effort here for years here to have Commissioner Hill to place this route on the approved State highway map, and the word that the road has been added to the State system is welcomed, however, it is regretted that the entire road cannot be taken over for maintenance at once. Mr. Hill's letter: "At the last meeting of the High- j way Commission held on February 18th a road 17 1-2 miles long, from ] Warrenton, county seat of Warren county, to Kearney in Frankln x ? 1 J. J i. ^ X CIUU county, was auaea iu me otaic System.. Engineers of the Highway Commission are now working on a * road in Wake county, which will v take them about three weeks long- e er, after which they will proceed ] to make survey of this road from 1 Warrenton to Kearney. Until re- I port of the engineers comes into c my office. I cannot give you any ' definite location of the road. Prom 1 wha,t 1. know of the situation, I am inclined to think that the final lo- 1 cation of the road will follow closely along the present road from * Warrenton to Franklin county line. 1 In Franklin county, however, there c will be an important relocation ( made so as to shorten the distance ^ and cut out unnecessary curves. 1 "After a road has once been made c part of the State Highway System, 1 it is the policy of the Highway 1 Commission to proceed as rapidly 1 as possible to take it over for main- ^ tenance, but in view of the bad s condition of this road, I think it 1 will be sometime yet before the < can take over the entire road for E maintenance. I have already re- c quested Mr. D. M. Rea, district 1 engineer, to confer with the road J authorities of Warren and Frank- s lin counties with a view to putting f the road in such condition that it t can be taken over for maintenance by July 1st, when we begin our new t maintenance program for 1930 and I 1931." e 1 N.

M. Cordle was in Warren checking up sales of confiscated stills with county officials, a representative of this paper yesterday afternoon went to see Auditor P. M. Stallings and. Commissioner W. H. Burroughs. He was told that Officer Cordle was in the county but that no record had been made of persons to wliom old copper and stills were sold but would be hereafter. Officer Cordle was in the Sheriff's office at the time, but refused to give any information of any kind when called outside, bulling a little oook from his pocket containing his picture and some ki:id of writing he forbade The Warren Record reporter to mention that he had seen him or that he refused to comment, or in any way mention his name in i newspaper story. He said he was warning the reporter in the name of the United States Government. The Federal officer, upon being told that the newspaper would use its own judgment, asked the reporter to step into the office of the sheriff where he repeated his warning in the presence of witnesses.
