Many _r?u names have been placed onj I :ne registration books and interest I I in the campaign indicates that thereI will ae3 heav-v v0'? over the counm tv on June L c. F. Moseley, chairman of the I I Warren county board of elections, I again this tveek requests that voters! I gj to the polls as early as possible. I Tins year voting booths will be | used for the first time and the bal- J I lots are unusuaUy long. These facts J Kccopled with the indicated heavy! I vote caused Mr. Moseley to issue his! appeal for an early vote. I Booths and county, state and! '?Mn hfl?o? are on hand and I m pkiisuw I. j ij jn rc&dincss for the primary. I Sue time for filing expired on last I Friday at midnight after more than 13j citizens had signified their inI action of running. The end of this Ipeiiod showed that M. P. Powell, the had published his notice of I cmdidacy for coroner, failed to file I and is therefore not a candidate I fcr this position. It is said that Mr. I pcwell's highway duties would preI vmt him discharging the duties of I this office if elected. Under the I circumstances he failed to file, but I neglected to order his notice of canI didacy removed from the newspaI p-:s. There are only two candidates I fcr this position. They are E. D. H Davis of Fork and Edward Petar I c: Ridgeway. I The Warren Record is publishing I in another column the county ticket I ti'.at voters may familiarize them selves with it. As the campaign enters into the I list week candidates are redoubl ing their efforts to obtain the sup ;:crt of their friends. The campaign i Warren this year is unusually I free from mudslinging and many Implimentary remarks have been I heard for the way the county canI didates are conducting their race. After being overshadowed for I many weeks by the county contest, I the Bailey-Simmons fight for United I States Senator is coming to the I front as a leading topic of interest. ^Ir. Bailey's campaign is being I managed in Warren by Edwin H. I Russell, merchant of Macon. Thus tar his tactics have consisted of a number of meetings at different Parts of the county and the distri button of Bailey literature. InterI ?ted friends have been lending him Ia hand but there has been little ^nal eliciting for the Raleigh H "fhe Simmons fight in Warren M ? King waged chiefly by Miss fl Aima Graham of Warrenton and Mrs. Charlotte Story Perkinson of Raleigh, Their efforts have in the B cain been directed to the distriB hution of literature from the SimB cons headquarters. Miss Graham B has in addition been doing personal Bl?k among the women of the B ^unty, and has been roundly beB rated by the press of the State for Biding letters to the Woman'sj B?hsionary societies of this district j cr.g them to vote for Senator i ^ ninons as their christian duty. B Mrs. Perkinson in a letter from II Sleigh to the Warren Record says B^f'lwill divulge the fact that an ^ -vi mx nundred letters are going j from another prominent church j I o{ another denomination sent tn the initiative 01 the church herself in the same way as ^ Graham's and without any j digestions from this office."

J., May 29.? Patrolman Fred Thompson was in excellent humor today as he stood at his corner post directing traffic. He had been chauffeured to work by one of the world's most famous fliers?Charles A. Lindbergh. Thompson, on his way to the police station to report for duty, hailed a passing autoist and asked for a "lift." The driver nodded and Thompson hopped in.

The decision represents a "common sense" attitude, he said.

I Bailey Declares i Charges Are False j ASHEVILLE, May 24.?Replying ' to alleged charges of the Simmons leaders, Josiah William Bailey here today resting from his western North Carolina campaign activities declared false the DuBose charges that he had voted the Republican ticket early in his career. "It seems to me," Mr. Bailey said, "that the answer to all this sort of talk is that I have always voted the Democratic ticket, that I have never voted for a Republican, that I did not support Russell for governor, that I wrote and spoke for the suffrage movement and the Democratic party and circulated 75,000 copies of my Thomasville speech in that cause. "The Democratic General Assembly of 1898? the white supremacy legislature?elected me to office; the Democratic State convention 01 i?uo nominated me elector at large; President Wilson appointed me U. 8. Collector of Internal Revenue in 1913.1 have canvassed for the Democratic party in every campaign for 22 years. "The other side has become desperate and there is no saying what they will send out next. Our campaign is moving serenely on. We intend to keep the unity and welfare of the Democratic party uppermost." ri> ;". ' a wo Badly Hurt When Mule bhief; In Path of Car Shying from a dead aog on ine ide of the highway near Henderon, a mule and its riders, two rie;roes, leaped into the pathway of a ?ord driven by J. D. Cawthorne of , ^orlina and caused tt wreck Sunday light which resulted in painful cuts ind bruises to the driver, broken aones to the negroes, the death of , the mule and a badiy damaged au;omobile. Jeff Crowder, who was accompanying Mr. Cawthorne, exaaped injury. The two Norlina men were returnng from Henderson and had reached the fertilizer plant where they started to pass the mule when the animal, which was being guided by a halter, jumped from the dog and landed on the hood of the automobile. The impact caused the car to overturn and Mr. Cawthorne to receive cuts about the face which necessitated a number of stitches. Dne of the negroes' legs were broken in two places, it was stated. Mr. Crowder excaped injury, it was said, due to the fact that he was riding ori the back seat and jumped to the foot of the car. School Facts Shows Attendance Varies RALEIGH, May 28.?School at;endance by v/hite and colored chilli en in the county systems varies widely?from 93.2 per cent In Dare bounty to 62.4 per cent in Scotland :ounty for white pupils, and from 12.5 per cent in Wilkes county to >0.6 per cent in Halifax county for :olored pupils?accorcung to the current issue of State School Facts, publication of the State Department of Public Instruction. It is interesting to note from School Facts that In the matter of school attendance of white children Dare County has roade the highest record for three of the past six fears?in 1923-24 with 87.6 per cent, in 1926-27 with 92.9 per cent, and last year. 1828-29, with 93.2 per cent. Cateret, Northampton and Camden school children made the best school attendance record for the other three years, 1921-25, 1925-26, and 1927-28, respectively. During the: year 1928-29, the year for which attendance figures are presented in detail by School Facts, two counties, Dare and Camden, made an average of more than 90 per cent in white school attendance, 16 counties made from 80 to 89.9 per cent, 79 counties made from 70 to 79.9 per cent, and three counties from 60 to 69.9 per cent. As pointed out by the departmental publication, the largest number of counties, 79, are in the group making an attendance record of from 70 to 79.9 per cent. The average ru:al white attendance for the State Is 76.3 per cent. /t-1 ?j <.?Uaa1 nf^A?/]nn/>a OC OOiUiCU HUWI ?H/VCil???4VV, U?u shown by the fact3, Is not as good as white attendance. One county made a record of more than 90 per :ent, 16 counties made from 80 to 39.9 per cen; 38 counties made from 70 to 79.9 per cent, 35 counties from 30 to 60.9 per cent, and nine counties from 50 to 59.9 per cent. The lower attendance record made by colored chilldren is no doubt partly due to a greater changing school population by that race, for School Pacts points out tliat those systems having a shifting population show i lower attendance record. Highway Heads Abolish Number 13 Following the e:'.ample of hotels and various other agencies and organizations dealing with the public, the State of North Carolina has abolished the number "13" from its highway system. Persons living on Route 13 between Durham and the Virginia line objected to the number and when the State Highway Commission changed the number of Route 55 between Durham and Wake Parest to a continuation of 91 yesterday, Commissioner John Sprunt Hill of the fourth district, requested that Route 13 be changed to Route 55. The change is effective the first part of July when the new highway maps will be issued. TO BROADCAST Miss Clara Fleming Pope of Churchill will broadcast a musical program over station.

Palmer, of Warrenton, against the Carolina Power & Light Company has been settled out of court. The terms of the settlement could not be learned from either the defendant or the plaintiff. Jeff Palmer was suing the power company for injuries sustained when he came in contact with a highpowered wire at the Warrenton Ice piant on sunaay, sepiemoer aw, 1928, resulting in nis being knocked from the pole and suffering serious burns. He claimed in his suit that the company was negligent in not providing ample safeguards. The power company contended that it had taken every reasonable and necessary precaution and that it war. not negligent. The case was argued before a jury at the January term of Superior court at Warrenton and resulted in a mistrial. It was docketed for trial at the May term of court this week and promised to be the leading civil case in point of interest. With its removal f"om the docket other civil cases have held little public interest and the sesions of the court have been poorly atlnded. The civil term of court began on last Friday morning when the suit of A. D. Harris against V. T. Reavis was heard. A non-suit was ordered. Harris was suing Reavis for injuries to his truck several months ago as the result of an automobile accident. H. C. Fleming was given a judgment of $74.50 in his suit against H. Weber. Gertrude Green Person, was granted a divorce from Edward Person on the grouud of abandonment. Court recessed until Monday morning. Reconvening on Monday the court judged that Mary B. Jenkini was entitled to use cotton gin and corn mill as provided in the will of Mary E. Baird. This right was con? j tested by Morgan Floyd and Sophie B. Floyd. Charles E. Foster of Littleton was given a. judgment of $216 and interest from July 22, 1929, in his suit 'against J. D. Boushall. John A. Williams and Mabel Williams were awarded judgment in their suit against Benjamin Naimon and M. L. Bowers. The defendants were ordered to pay Jubilee hospital $109, Dr. Goode Cheatham $60. T. O. Rodwell, attorney, $20, and the cost in the action. This case was heard on Tuesday.

The case of R. A. Reese against Mrs. Olivia Stallings was being argued by counsel late yesterday afternoon. Indications are that court will not adjourn before Saturday. Blalock Addresses Co-op Members Here About 30 members of the Warren county cotton growers co-operative association met at the Imperial theatre at W&rrenton on Wednesday afternoon to hear U. C. Blalock, general manager of the association in North Carolina, discuss the operation of the organization for the past yeor, the prospects for 'the coming year and the activities of the farm board.

Mr. Johnson said Scotland Neck, field representative that the future for the association was unusually bright, that the members were loyal, and that the farm board was a great factor for success in their operation. Following Mr. Blalock's talk, a round table discussion was held in which several members expressed their satisfaction with the pool and discussed various phrases of operation with Mr. Blalock and Mr. Johnson.
