Rose and George Rose, negroes, charged with shooting Waverly Harris, negro, at his home near Macon early Sunday night. Harris' hand was badly injured by the load from a shotgun in the hands 01 George Rose, necessitating the amputation of one finger. The Rose brothers are said to have had trouble the previous week with Hambone Harris, a cousin of Waverly Harris, and went to the home of Ben Harris, father of Wavily, under the impression that Hambone was there, and when Waverly came through the door mistook him for his cousin. As the shotgun was thrown into the negro's face, he knocked up the barrel, it is said, and the shot struck his hand, and knocked his hat from his head. An examination by officers fbllowing the shooting showed that parts of the felt hat was buried in the door. Men, Armed With Tire Tools, Chase Family From Home Armed with tire tools Jessie Stevenson and Bennie Clayton entered the James Slaughter home near Macon on Tuesday night and assaulted James Slaughter, his wife, Rose Slaughter, his daughter, Margaret, and son, Francis, driving them away from their home. Constable R. O. Snipes was summoned only to find the men had jone before his arrival. Warrants have been issued and officers are searching for the men. Belief that the Slaughters had told officers of rlipir stills nnarated nearbv is said to have been the cause of the trouble.

Kinsey, Commander of Limer Post No. 25, American Legion, yesterday called attention to the meeting of the Post to be held in the club rooms at Warrenton next Thursday night, June 12, at 8 o'clock, at which time discussion and probable action on the form of the Memorial to the World War Veterans will be taken. Commander Kinsey asks that a full attendance be present. Members of the Legion are divided on the question of whether to erect a Doughboy statue on the court square at Warrenton or to devote their efforts to a movement to erect a suitable building to house the present Memorial Library. This question was discussed at a meeting held on May 8, but a decision was withheld until the following meeting in order that the views of other veterans might be learned. The members of the American Legion Auxiliary attended the last meeting and are invited to be present for the meeting to be held next Thursday night. At that time, it is understood, they will be invited to take part in the discussion, but will not have the privilege of voting with the Legion. At the last meeting the Auxiliary expressed itself as favoring the library building and several members made short talks in support of the project, pointing out that their organization had started a small fund for such a project. Unwilling That Girl Be Taken; Fires On Group With Shotgun James Davis, negro of near Ridgeway, was unwilling that Fred Suiter End Elijah Brackwell should take his girl friend, Mary Davis, from him, fired into the group with a shotgun at a distance of about 75 yards .wounding the trio, and as a resulut will face Judge T. O. Rodwell in Recorder's court here on Monday morning. Suiter and Brackwell, as the result of the acray faced Magistrate W. C. Fagg on Monday morning, charged with using profane language on the public highway. They were fined $10 and the cost in the case. The trouble occurred at Ridgeway on Sunday night. Citizens annoyed by the disturbance, summoned Constable R. O. Snipes from Warrenton. He arrested the four. The wounds of the negroes are not regarded as serious.

DROUGHT BECOMES SERIOUS WASHINGTON, June 4.?With drought prevailing over most of the eastern half of the country, weather bureau officials predicted today that crops would be severely damaged unless this Summer's rainfall was unusually heavy.

The total rainfall the bureau said has been slightly more than half of normal for a six month's period. RECOVERS CAB A Ford car stolen from Deputy Sheriff Elmo King on Saturday night was recovered by Constable R. O. Snipes at Crowder's pond near Ridgeway on Monday. The machine had been abandoned.' Mr. Howard Daniel of Duke University has returned for the Summer. ' Saturda Sot: IDAY, JUNE 6, 1930 MAY IMPROVE WATER S Engineer- _ rnns For FiltraS^ system At Monday Meeting DISCUSS AIRPORT HERE Methods to improve Warrenton's water system, a discussion of a Government Airport and the election of town officers for the coming year occupied the attention of the town commissioners for more than two hours in their regular monthly meeting here on Monday night. Engineers Irving and Cunningham of the Permutit Company of New Your brought to the board a proposal*to erect a filtration system that would remove the iron and other objectionable matter from the town water. The engineers estimated this cost between $5,000 and $6,000. Harold Skillman, manager of the water company, told the board that he believed that this amount could be handled with earnings from sale of water and that it would be unnecessary for the town to borrow money' for this purpose. Members of the board were favorably impressed with the plan but ordered the water committee to make a further investigation, calling in a consulting engineer if they deemed it best. If the plan met with their approval Mayor Gibbs was authorized to call a special meeting of the board to give its official sanction. Government representatives were at Warrenton several days ago investigating an emergency landing field to be located near the city as a part of the United States mail route from Washington to South America. They at that time pointed out that the emergency fields would be established every 30 miles of the route. The Government asks the cooperation of the town in providing a suitable landing field. This matter was favorably discussed by members of the board and referred to a special committee of which E. E. tttnn ma/4a rtTiftinmOM VJiiltviii wao iiiaui; uitnuni a**. wt?vt members are J. B. Massenburg and II. A. Moseley. These gentlemen were instructed to see if they could find a suitable field and to assist the Government representatives in locating the field near here. Chief M. M. Drake and Officer C. E. Lovell were re-elected for another term and all committees were re-appointed with the same membership with the exception of the street committee. E. E. Gillam requested that his name be removed from this committee. Frank Serls Sr. was appointed in his place. Kerr To Deliver Memorial Address FAYETTEVILLE, June 4.?Judge John H.

Captain McNeill died February 9, 1027. Almost immediately afterwards sentiment began to crystalize for the erection of a monument to his memory, and final steps toward this consummation were taken at the last meeting of the North Carolina Fireman's Association. Captain McNeill was president of the State association for twenty-five years or more. He organized this body with a few other leading fire .. iU. OA?? An/1 men of tne state in uie ou o, mm f to all intents and purposes he was the head of it to the day of his final sickness, which" began only two months before his death.

The Association is particularly interested in the development of libraries in the United States and Canada. Brummitt Rules On Republican Entry "I am of the opinion that a person who has been voting the Democratic ticket, and intends to support all the candidates c<f that party nominated in the approaching primary, ought not to be excluded from the Democratic primary this ?oi?*ir?lw onH nrlv because of y ecu oiui ^ ? such person's vote on the national ticket in 1928," declared Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt yesterday in response to an inquiry from Charles A, Hines, manager for Senator P. M. Simmons. "But a person should be excluded from the Democratic primary" continued Mr. Brummitt "who has been voting the Republican ticket in the past and or does not in good faith intend to support all of the candidates nominated in the Democratic primary this year."

NUMBER 23 ALL IN READING FOR LARGE VOTE f More Than 4,000 Names On Registration Books; New System of Voting URGES AN EARLY VOTE All is in readiness for the voters of Warren county to go to the polls tomorrow and cast their ballots for the candidates of their choice. The polls will open at sunrise and close at sunset, remaining open from 4.'16 a. m. until 7:11 p. m. More than 4,000 names are on the registration books and indications are that the vote will be unusually heavy. This year the Australian ballot will be used for the first time in Warren county, and C. P. Moseley, chairman of the Warren county board of elections, again is urging the voters to go to the polls as early as possible. Mr. Moseley pointed out that the system was not only new o the voters but to the poll holders as well, that the ballot was long, and that the vote would in all probability be heavy. For this reason he asked that citizens co-operate with election officials by voting as early as possible and avoid a last minute rash with its attendant confusion. The last few days of the campaign has failed to bring forth any startling developments. As the time of election draws near the contest between Senator Simmons and Josiah William Bailey for the United States Senate becomes the leading topic of interest. That a second primary will be necessary for one or more county positions is quite generally accepted. The following are the registrars and judges of elections for tomorrow: Judkins-iJohn P. Leach, registrar; Harry Fishel, Edward Stansbury, judges. I Warrenton~W. Keppel Falkener, registrar; W. R. Strickland, Mrs. Frank Allen. . River-Frank Rainey, registrar; i Cromwell Da:aiel and J. L.
