D. Rodgers and agreed upon terms which will be submitted to the commissioners at their meeting Monday, June 23. If the charge made by the doctors meets with the approval of the commissioners, the regular clinic will be held this Summer during July and August. On account of the fact that provision was not made in the county budget for this campaign, the commissioners were unable to pay the physicians the regular fees for giving the complete treatment. Following a meeting of the commissioners Monday at which time the matter, of financing this clinic was discussed, Commissioners W. H. Burroughs and Frank Newell were appointed to go before the Medical Society in an effort to secure some reduction on the nominal charge for inserting this serum. Satisfactory arrangements were made with the doctors, it was said, and their figures will be presented to the commissioners Monday. Great progress has been made in eradicating these diseases from our county, and there is a widespread sentiment throughout the county that this clinic be given this year so t.iere will be as little sickness as possible during these sub-normal times, one of the physicians pointed out. The Medical Society was presided over by Dr. C. H. Peete, president, and was attended by Doctors W. D. Rodgers, F. .?. Hunter, G. H. Macon and T. J. Holt, and H. H. Foster of Norjina. ** n'l-' Au J many i^iuzens nucuu ( Garden Party Herej A home naturally beautiful, with its beauty enhanced by cut flowers, a garden that approached perfection, women in beautiful afternoon dresses walking across well kept lawns afforded a scene of beauty to hundreds of Warren county citizens who on yesterday afternoon attended the benefit garden party at the home of Mrs. Katherine P.

K. on North Carolina's "live-at-home" program today. Welcomed by Governor Gardner as "the head of the farming department of the greatest farming nation in the world," Arthur M. Hyde, of Missouri, United States Secretary of Agriculture, utilized Tar Heel good roads to extend his one-day visit from the Capital to Caledonia State'::; Pri^n farm, where he spoke in warm praise cf Governor Gardner's pure seed and diversification projects, coming here tonight as the headliner at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Hyde, so thoroughly democratic that his politics were forgiven on first acquaintance, made it easy for Eastern Carolina to understand right off how it happened that he was the second Republican to be elected Governor of Missouri einn?a tho fiiril \X7ar* T-T o hviMiflrhf a OAAAV/w VAAVt V1VU TV C4A . AAV W? WUgAAV M. distinctive agricultural keynote to the dinner at the Cherry Kiotel. Diversification, but profi;able diversification," he set up as tine need of agriculture. Cross Section of State Present A fair cross-section of North Carolina?State officials, legislators, farm experts, editors, teachers?attended the demonstration at Caledonia, and the Paramount Sound News outfit was there taking more than 2,000 feet of film to show the rest of the country why it is that North Carolina has rot been troubled with serious outbreaks in its prisons. The sound movies recorded greeting from Governor Gardner and a glowing response from Secretary Hyde, who made no effort to conceal how pleased he was at what he found on this 6,800 acre tract, diversified farming, 250 mules in full harness, 200 Negro prisoners weilding hoes in cane, wheat narvesting, and comic skits from the prisoners. Supt. George floss Pou, Farms Director George Ross, and Captain N.' E. Raines put on about everything imaginable in the way of entertainment, from barbecue and fried chicken to instructive conversation that left no doubt of the large scale operations. Tilled by 750 prisnoers ir modern barracks, the farm has 2,650 acres of cotton, 1,500 corn, 1,C00 peanuts, 800 wheat, and the remainder divided among small grains and green crops. The diversification idea is also carried to live stock in 858 hogs ? j r>e\ AAntn itliu oo luwa, "This farm is the largest factor in North Carolina in the multiplication of purebred seeds of approved varieties," the governor declared, explaining that no small part of the exhibition had been planned to show how the State wa; striving to work out a constructive policy for supplying its farmers with pure seeds, "the great funcamental of agricultural production " The governor also touched upon the problems of the prison, overpopulation and rehabilitation, declaring that the State's major problems were to provide adequate and safe housing, continuous, constructive employment, individualized, understanding rehabilitat on, especially of the more promising inma tes, and a watchful, helpful contact after the State turns loose at the prison gate." Praises State and Governor "North Carolina and Governor Gardner deserve congratulations," declared Secretary Hyde before the talkie camera. "The primary objective here is to raise purebred seeds which are acclaimed and peculiarly adapted to " 1 * " -u? iui? the use 01 tne iarmers jj mw otatc? thus, by the vision of the governor, prison labor is being made to serve the needs of scientific farming. Both from the standpoint of humanitarianism in the conduci of prison and of the agriculture of the Slate, we may confidently expect great good to come from this enterprise," he said. Before speaking into the movie microphone in the presence of the more than 200 invited gueets, the governor had a privaa session with the prisoners, commending to them the ways of righteoisness and industry, assuring them of recognition of merit. At the barbecue dinner Supt. Pou presented briefly the prison's problem coming from an increase of 300 per cent in population In a decade and stated frankly that new avenues of employment wouli have to be opened up. He asked his auditors to think upon the reason why morel road construction in North Carolina was not done with prison labor, stating that highway contractors in other States were using it with success. r v ' " MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 25 BOARD TO DECIDE CLINIC QUESTION Decision Whether To Employ Doctors Or Nurses Postponed Until Monday COST IS THE CHIEF ITEM The board of county commissioners will meet on Monday to decide whether the typhoid clinic to be held in Warren county this year shall be conducted by Mrs. Joseph S. Jones, county health nurse, with the assistance of a nurse from the State Board of Health, or whether the clinic shall be conducted bv the physicians of the county as heretofore. State of county finances caused the board to delay action on this matter at their meeting on ,the first Monday in June, at which time it was pointed out that the June primary would add a burden to the county and that it would be necessary to hold appropriations to the lowest possible figure. It was estimated at that time that the clinic would cost the county about $2500 at the usual rate pa id" the physicians. The physicians claim that in order to make the clinic meet with the success of former years it will liave to be a whirlwind campaign with all the doctors aiding, and that nurses can not obtain this result. The board countered with the statement jthat the State board of health would okey the use of nurses and that such action had been taken in other counties. Dr. Laughinghouse of the State Board of Health appeared before the board on Monday of this week. Both sides received comfort from his speech according to its interpretations. Motions by John L. Skinner that the work be carried on as heretofore and by F. B. Newell that the physicians be paid $1250 for their assistance failed to secure a second. Commissioner Burroughs motioned that the typhoid and diphtheria clinic be carried out by the doctors at the rate of five cents per dose; in the event the doctors refused to accept, then the clinic should be conducted by the county nurse and that the necessary assistance be employed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Wall. F. B. Newell voted no. Commissioner Newell and Burroughs were appointed to meet with the doctors at a meeting of the Warren county medical society on Tuesday night. At that time an agreement was reached which will be submitted to the board on Monday, it Is said. The board ordered that money received from the State from gasoline tax be used for maintenance purposes. A letter from the highway commission to Chairman John Clay Powell said that it was estimated that Warren would receive $25,740 from this source during the coming year. Last year the county received $27,557.47 from the State. The estimate for last year was $25,600. Whether the sum realized this year will exceed the estimate can not be known. After holding a joint meeting at which time the school budget was approved, the commissioners heard claims of various citizens for adjustments of their land valuations. The session as an equalizing board ran through Monday afternoon and was continued on Tuesday. Many citizens took advantage of this opportunity to appear before the board and adjustments were made in a large number of cases. To Hold Second Primary For Judkins A second primary has been called in Judkin township by J. T. Myrick to determine whether he or Hunt Johnson shall be the democratic nominee for member of the road board. J. W. Neal and Frank Ryder received a majority 01 tne voves cast in the June: primary and were declared the nominees. There will be no second primary in River townsliip for road board commissioner, C. F. Moseley, chairman of the Warren county board of elections, said yesterday. One-iialf vote more than the required majority of 159 1-2 votes, led to the belief that a second primary might be necessary between A. L. Pope and R. D. King. The state chairman ruled that Mr. ropes ioa vows was a majority and that he was the nominee along with E. G. King and H. L. Salmon.
