There are, according to the table, more people in this state who favor strict enforcement of the 18th amendment than there are favor ine either modification or repeal. And yet there are more citizens who want some change made than there are favoring enforcement. Out of the 14,267 votes tabulated for North Carolina, 6,628 favored enforcement; 4,195 modification, and 3,444 asked for repeal. The wets still have the lead in the 40 states and the district of Columbia tabulations, with modification holding second place, and enforcement bringing up the rear There have been 2,000,240 votes tabulated. Out of this number, 848,751 favored repeal of the 18th. Amendment; 598,252 wanted modification; and 553,337 were for strict enforcement. According to the Digest Poll this week slightly less than half the people in North Carolina favorec. strict enforcement of the 18th Amendment; in the nation a little more than one-tnird of the citizens wanted strict enforcement. ' The most arid," it seems to the New York Sun. "can argue tha; allied with those who would not tamper with more than the Volstead Law they command 59 pe:: cent of the vote to date. The most sopping can argue that with those who are moderately opposed to Prohibition they can command 73 per cent." Highway Force At Work On Liberia Road State highway construction forces are busy at work top-soiling highway route No. 58 from Liberia to the Nash county line preparatory to the building of a gravel and tar composition road. A force under the direction of D. S. Scarborough is hauling tar and gravel from Warrenton to the road site. Mr. Scarborough said yesterday that it would take them several weeks to finish hauling the material. His force of men are camped o:a the old circus ground just beyond the depot. The top-soiling crew is located near Inez. Route 58 is the highway connecting Warrenton and Rocky Mount. At present a composition road leacs out of Warrenton to Liberia, a distance of five miles; from that place to the Nash county line, about 19 miles, is a sand-clay road; a tar and gravel road runs from the Nash county line to Nashville where it connects with a concrete highway leading into Rocky Mount. With the completion of the stretch from Liberia to the Nash county line some time this Summer the entire route will be hard-surfaced.

Turner Ap- ( poifnts Workers For All Townships of Warren WORK FOR LOWER TAX ! Half a hundred men and several 1 ladies gathered at the court house J on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 to , discuss matters of burdensome taxes 1 cn real estate and to plan for the , Warren county taxpayers union. The meeting was called for Satur- , day following deliberation at a similar meeting on Monday in which j five men were appointed to repre- ( sent the union at the gathering of ] taxpayers at Raleigh on Monday < and Tuesday. The gathering was unanimous in s its expression for lower taxes on real estate, but few definite plans ( for raising revenue were voiced, the majority of the citizens seeming- ' ly prefering to leave this matter , up to the committees appointed by the Raleigh gathering. C. E. Jackson, Warrenton Supply man, told cf how the high tax on money and J bonds was resulting in the hiding ' of these sources or revenue and expressed the opinion that a low tax on such items would result in more ( money being raised. He pointed out | that Virginia had passed such a , law and that results had been very , gratifying. He said that he owned j lend in both North Carolina and < Virginia, and that his-tax rate in the latter was so much less that his land there was not for sale, but that he would be glad to dispose of ( all his land in Warren. Mr. Jackson held that clasification of property in Virginia was responsible to a great degree for the lower rate in the sister state. ( Sam Satterwhite of Manson, for- ( ' K mer representative in the General j Assembly from Warren, difered ] with Mr. Jackson on this question. ( He admitted that much intangible ( property was escaping taxation. His remedy was laws witn teeth to 1 ' * J * -.M/lavei i eaten tne tax evauwo. No action was taken upon either 1 recommendation and the delegates 1 were sent to Raleigh with no in- ' st'-uction other than to do what ' (Continued on page 8) J MRS.

Whether this ration has risen or fallen will be one of the most important facts to be deternined by the 1930 census, according ;o Dr. Joseph A. Hill, Acting Director of the Census, who lias pointed out that the relative number of nales to females is one of the most fundamental factors to be considered in any analysis of society.

After the election of delegates and bl other business matters were dis- 111 pcsed of, Hugh Johnson, field repre. hi sentative for Halifax and Warren w counties, addressed the meeting, " bringing a message of encourage- st ment to those who have borne the S( torch of cooperative marketing until b( the Federal government, through c< the Federal farm board, gave due ** recognition tc these efforts and T in the handling of the 1929 cotton t* crop, made it possible for members of the cooperative associations to S draw an advance of 16 cents per oi pound basis middling on their cot- tl ton while cotton was selling for as t? low as 14 cents on the market. ^ Comparing the early efforts of hi the cooperatives to Gideon's faith- V ful band of three* hundred men, the ti speaker showed that the recent leg- V islation relating to cooperatives had been brought about by the efforts p of the cooperatives and that any r benefit now being enjoyed was due to these efforts. Mr. Johnson said the members should elect able men as directors, such as had always guided the cotton association heretofore and that the fullest success could never be ' attained until every member should t] feel a deep interest in his own or- ^ ganization, willing to give thought g and render service in every way l? possible to his fellow members. ^ Acreage control and better seed and fertilizers were discussed at some length. ? Warren county was one erf the few * counties in the State producing more cotton in the year 1929 than in the previous year.

"In my old county of Warren, :,wever, I note an exception in lat Miss Julia Dameron has been !-appointed and with women like er on the county boards all over ie State, no one need fear for an anest count.
