V. Allen shorty after midnight on Saturday, young Connell suffered a severe :ut about his right shoulder and ight hand but they were not se-ious enough to confine him to his lome. Young Connell and Taylor were mi their way to a tobacco barn on the Connell place, it is said, when they noticed in the distance Irvin Aocms, young lumberman of Warrenton, holding out his hand for i left turn into the Allen driveway. Mr. Connell, evidently under the Impression that he could not avoid hitting the car, attempted to turn into a side road, but landed into the telephone post instead. Mr. Adams said that he was running very slowly and held out his hand for the turn, that the car was it that time more than a hundred yards behind him, but approaching rapidly. Noticing that the approaching car made no checkup in its speed and hearng the driver blowing his horn, Mr. Adams brought his car to a halt and waited for the Connell car to pass before completing the turn. With exhaust open and motor oaring the Connell car, swerved toward the side road, struck a rough place in the road and boundid. into the telephone post. Mr. \dams pulled the boys from the wreck and rushed them to the of-' rice of Dr. G. H. Macon. Connell was taken from there to the office! if Dr. W. D. Rodgers, where his wounds were dressed and he was ;aken home. Taylor received a cut unning from just above his right jye to several inches above his tem. ile and a sprained and cut are. Dr. Macon placed several stitches in tils head and arm and would not illow him to be moved that night, rhe next day he was carried to his Home where, weak from loss of j jlood and sore from his wounds, he s recovering. Citizens motored on Sunday morning to the scene of the wreck to hew the car and marvel that the rcung men escaped with their lives, rhe right front wheel of the coach was shattered, the running board raved in, the right windshield supjort broken and the whole front right hand side of the top swept to ;he back. The front seat was jamned back into the rear seat and shattered and it was from the mass )f wreckage in the rear that Mr. nnll#>H Mr. Tavlor. A neighbor hearing the roar of I ;he motor and the impact of the :rash said that she was under the impression that an airplane had 'alien until she learned about the .vreck next morning. This is said to; lave been the sixth wreck for young; rial Connell. j Many Attend Wise School Opening WISE, Spt. 4.?The Wise school opened on Monday morning at 9 o'clock with appropriate chapel exercises which were attended by many parents and patrons. Teachers and pupils were welcomed on behalf of the Parentreachers association by Mrs. Milam. Mrs. B. L. Newell extended the welcome for the Woman's club, and H. Evans Coleman on behalf of the school board. The Wise school is in charge of R. R. Jackson of Middleburg, and has four new teachers including Principal Jackson.

Gibbs on Tuesday. The woman was arrested on Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff R. L.

Fiery Cross Burnt Before Home Of Norlina Citizen A fiery cross, symbolical of Ku Kluxism, placed across the road just opposite his home in the heart of Norlina and a note of warning on the front porch brough a perplexed brow over the face of Maryland Spain and kindled the fires of hatred on Tuesday night when he returned from the barn with his familv offer a rfnv's trnrfc Thfi nntfl. which was written with a pencil on second-grade paper, said that this is the first; there will be two more, and was signed "The Dark Gang." Neither the K. K. K. insignia nor the official seal were on the note. As far as could be learned there is no Ku Klux Klan organization at Norlina, nor has there been one in years. The consensus of opinion there was that the work was not done by klansmen. Mr. Spain, who is a married man with two children, resented the affair. "Some people are saying that the cross was burnt in front of my house because I beat my wife. That is not so, but of course some people are going to believe it," he said. Apparently domestic affairs run smoothly in his household. "I have been married four years and never have had any trouble with my wife," Mr. Spain remarked, and his father added, "If there is any married couple who get along better than these two, I do not know who they are." Mrs. Spain who came from the house with two children further attested that harmony and love had always existed between herself and her husband. Mr. Spain said that he had not done anything wrong himself nor told anything on any one else, and that he could not understand the reason for the mysterious warning. "I don't believe there is anything to it but a joke, but whoever did it has a damn poor idea of a joke and I do not appreciate the humor of the act." Frazier Field Man For Cotton Ass'n ' 1 George R. Frazier, prominent farmer of the Warren Plains sec tion, has been named field representative of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association for the counties of Warren, Vance and Granville, it was announced yesterday by Hugh Johnson, former field representative of Warren. The association is expecting heavy delivery this Pall, Mr. Johnson sail, and for that reason a new district embracing Warren, Granville and Halifax has been formed with Mr. Frazier in charge. Warren county | was formerly in the Halifax district. Mr. Frazier will have his office upstairs in the court house and can be found there each Monday and Saturday, it was stated. The North Carolina Cotton Cooperative Association is offering an advance of 9c a pound upon delivery in the seasonal pool, Mr. Johnson said. If cotton goes lower than this figure there will be no assessments; if it goes higher the grower will receive the advantage of the increase, it was stated. trmt F WARREN, N.

Squirrel Season Not r? Opened, Says Pinnell n n Some citizens are evidently labor- ^ ing under the impression that they g] may shoot squirrels at this time, R E. H. Pinnell, Warren county Game aj Warden, said yesterday. This is a c mistake as the season does not open until October 15. The warden asked citizens knowing of anyone hunting squirrels to call their attention ^ to the law. Violators will be punish- ^ ed, he said. He also called attention to the bag limit of ten on ^ squirrels. The season opened on foxes Mon- p day, September 1, and many citi- h zens have been engaged in this ja sport this week, particularly in the e( Inez, Grove Hill section, with Com- g missioner John Clay Powell tak- yi ing a leading part in the chase. n Sportmen may hunt buck Deer tl on and after October 1, rabbits, quail, p; turkeys and doves after November 20th. Hunting licenses are required p, of all hunters. h 01 False Fire Alarm ? Arouses Citizens " R Citizens were aroused from their beds and firemen responded to the * third false alarm within a week * on Monday night at midnight. Investigation revealed that the alarm had been turned in at the box directly in front of the home of M. & M. Drake, chief of police. No arrests have been made. S( Jack Carter and Raymond Duke, o: young men of Norlina, were arrest- s ed for turning in a false alarm on Monday night of last week. They y. plead guilty at the preliminary hear- w ing held the following day and were n bound to Recorder's court under s $150 bond.

The typhoid-diptheria campaign conducted by Mrs. Jones was also discussed with the board members gratified that several hundred dollars had been saved in the cost this year and over the fact that more citizens had taken the treatment.
