TUCKER APPOINTED Irvin B. Tucker of Whiteville, ormer Eastern District attorney, Thursday was named t M; WARRENTON, COUNTY < COMMISSIONERS TO MEET MONDAY Body Will Si* As Equalizing l K#xo,-A . TU rn?l,~ A l ? wvoiu, iu xaivc AC11UI1 On Typhoid Clinic The Board of County Commissioners will meet at Warrenton on Monday to sit as a board of equalization. Citizens who have complaints to make on their property valuations are asked to present them to the board at this time. The practice of citizens appearing before the board at their monthly meeting to make these changes not occupied the time of the members, but also makes it hard to make expenditures meet with the buget, a member of the board pointed out this week. This year they are trying to eliminate this feature. The board wil also take up at its Monday's meeting the question of a typhoid clinic for Warren county. It is understood that Dr. Laughing house, secretary of the State Board of Health, and members of the Warren County Board of Health will be present for the meeting. The question of the clinic was discussed at the meeting at Warrenton on first Monday, but members, after going into executive session, decided that they wanted more time to investigate the possibilities of holding the clinic. At that time they pointed out that the primary would cost the county much money, and while they thought that the clinic was well worth while, they were trying to hold down expenditures as much as possible and that more time was needed for a study of the matter. Dr. W. D. Rogers, county health officer, Dr. G. H. Macon and Dr. C. H. Peete appeared before the board and plead the cause of the clinic. Lucas Hawks, 82, Buried At Warren Plains On Sunday Funeral services for Lucas Hawks, prominent planter and citizen of Norlina, were conducted at the Norlina Methodist church on Sunday afternoon by the Rev.

Select New Orleans Co-op Headquarters WASHINGTON, June 11.?The selection of New Orleans as the permanent headquarters of the American Cotton Cooperative Association, the central marketing agency of the cooperative growers, was announced tonight by Allen Northington, president of the association. It was said at the offices of the Federal Farm Boara, wnere uu-UHerative leaders have been in session for three days perfecting the organization of a stabilization corporation for cotton, that the headquarters of the latter would also be in New Orleans. E. F. Creekmore of Fort Smith, Ark., it was said, is slated to be general manager of the new agency. Temporary headquarters of the cooperative association have been in Dallas. After a three-day secret session, cooperative leaders tonight had not completed the organization, which, with loans by the farm board is expected to dispose of a surplus of 1,000,000 bales of the 1929 cotton crop now held by cooperatives. The amount of money to be advanced for cotton from the $500,000,000 revolving fund authorized by Congress for agricultural relief will not be determined until recommendations have been made by the ad? rtnwimiffoo Visury wuiuuuvwv.

C., FRIDA Starts Into Home And Receives Load Of Shot In Side /^I 4- - ? ...uu? 3 .Dcuuie uiaytuu. wiuw, anegea rum runner, is in a critical condition in the Henderson hospital as a result of shotgun wounds in his left side and arm. He was shot near Macon early last Friday night by F'.ancis Slaughter. Clayton is expected to recover. Following the shooting Clayton was brought to Warrenton where he was given surgical treatment by Dr. Frank P. Hunter and rushed to the Henderson hospital. Slaughter came to town and gave himself up. A preliminary hearing was held before Magistrate W. C. Fagg. Evidence in the case was that Bennie Clayton and Jesse Stevenson had been to the Slaughter home late Tuesday night, assaulted Francis Slaughter's father, mother, sister and himself and driven the family from home. The evidence further was that tonight Clayton, accompanied by Stevenson came again to the Slaughter home, charged that Francis Slaughter had his pistol and told by the young man's mother not to enter the house, and as he was entering the home Francis fired upon him with a shot gun. Magistrate Fagg released Slaughter upon his own recognizance and told him to report to his court each day until the extent of Clayton's wounds could be determined. The trouble is said to have arisen over the fact that the Slaughter family objected to Clayton's paying attention to Margaret Slaughter, over a pistol said to have been stolen and over a charge that James j Slaughter had reported Clayton's still. Both Clayton and Stevenson were wanted by Warren officers. Stevenson fled and has not been captured. Green Says 3,609,000 Men Are out of Work WASHINGTON, June 11.?Plac| ing the total of the nation's unemployed at 3,609,000 hist month. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, told the House judiciary committee today he thought it "inconceivable" that Congress should adjourn without a "gesture" for relief. Green appeared before the committee to give his "unqualified support" to the two Wagner bills to J^ KlieVMYinnf of o rtQ - I X-'fUVlUC IUX COl/auiioiUiiv,iiu v/i c* tional employment system and the advance planning of public works. Miss Frances Perkins, of Albany, N. Y., head of the New York State Industrial Department, likewise urged approval of the bills. Meanwhile on the floor of the I House. Representative Sirovich, Democrat, New York, demanded that (something be done to prevent poverty and crime promoted by widespread unemployment. Green was presented by Senator Wagner, Democrat, New York, who told the committee he could see no reason why the bill should not pass in the House. The labor leader initiated his statement to the committee by sayling that "hundreds of thousands of 'men" were sitting today in parks 'throughout the country, "muttering" at their inability to gain employment. He mentioned specifically 1 conditions in Chicago, Los Angeles 1 and New York, and said this was the "most serious economic problem now confronting the American neoDle." . r * | "Unemployment still remains at as high a level as last January? 20 per cent?only two percent less than the peak,' 'Green said. "Progress in employment is highly un- < satisfactory. j "In both previous years, 1928 and 1929, the situation was clearing rap- 1 idly by May and at least 27 per i cent of those out of work in January ( {were back at their jobs again. The improvement this year from April < to May was very slight. Reports < from trade-unions show that there j I are still many out of work as in i | January." In a long brief, Green contested what he described as opposition by Senator Bingham, Republican Connecticut, and the National Association of Manufacturers, to the bill tc establish a national employment system. He asserted there was virtually no objection to the measure to regulate construction of public works. A third Wagner bill, pased by the Senate, which would facilitate gathering unemployment statistics, is not before the committee. - 1M0 Y, JUNE 13, 1930 SELECT AIRP""> SITE NEatgZsk Proposed Field Is Located On Old Macon Road On W. H. Dameron Place SOUTH AMERICA ROUTE A site has been found for a government airport on the W. H. Dameron place on the Macon road about two miles from Warrenton. Thomas H.

Massenburg and H. A. Moseley. Mr. Gillam accompanied Mr. Chapman to the proposed site yesterday. He said that he understood that the government proposed to lease the site if it proved to be suitable, and that Mr. Dameron had agreed to the ferms The field will be used by the government flyers in an emergency and it is understood that planes coming to and leaving Warrenton might use the field, but that the government will not allow it to be for commercial purposes.
