Says 5 RALEIGH, Sept. 10.?There Will be no changes in either elementary i or high school textbooks to be used f this year, that is the school year 3 1930-31, it is learned from the of, fice of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. * Under the law the State Tejft> boox Commission may recommend that changes be made in one major : and two minor elementary subjects 1 during the year, A year ftgp the 1 Textbook Commission decided that : no change would be made in the 1 textbooks used this year, "It was the sense of all members ' present," the sesolution passed read, 5 "that they would prefer not to make 1 any repor on suggested changes in 5 textbooks now in use in the elemen5 tcry schools of the State for the ; year 1929." The State Board of Edu1 --ii -i UoM nn Can. canon, ai> a uitxuui$ jivm w* I tember 10, 1929, approved this acJ tion of the Textbook Commission, and passed a resolution commendt ing the members for their attitude 1 in this matter. 1 The action of these two bodies r means that this year the school ' children will use he same elemen' tary textbooks as they have used 3 heretofore. The high school textbooks used ? were adopted for five years begin[ ning with the last school year. 3 Hence, there will be no change in s high school books until 1934. These , books may be purchased by the i children of the State at prices not i to exceed fifteen per cent above the wholesale prices set forth in h ppn tract with the publishers. Both the , wholesale and retail prices are , stamped on the books. These prices, according to Superintendent Allen are fixed so that the school children may be able to secure textbooks at the lowest pos' sible cost. The names of the high 1 school textbooks used may be se' cured from county and city super1 intendents. t Officers Confiscate - - - 111 I fj Ford Car At Still P. E. Street and B. A.

C., FRID BREAKS I .Miller DIRTY SHIRT('.and I I Economist Says Carry-Over Does ? * _ gt INot Justify fnces More cigarettes are being consumed, tobacco tax sales increasing, exports are in fair condition and the production and carry-over of tobacco does not justify the low prices paid farmers for their leaf this season. "While we take it for granted that the average price of tobacco this year will be below that of last year, the present low price which is 15 to 20 per cent lower than in 1929 at this same time is not warranted on the basis of supply and demand," saysx Dr. G. W. Forster, agricultural economist at State College. "Better prices may be anticipated as the season advances and growers are urged to follow the advice and suggestion of E. Y. Floyd extension tobacco specialist, to hold their tobacco, grade it well and market it gradually." Dr. Forster believes that the same conditions will exist this year as happened in 1921 when the season opened in Georgia at a price of 12 cents a pound and closed in Virginia at an average of 23 cents a pound. Such a marked improvement as this cannot be hoped for this year but there will be a material increase in price. While final figures for production in 1930 cannot be given as yet, Dr. Forster believes that the total crop of flue cured tobacco will reach nco n w-?iilmn This is an in IUO. I lUiillUU |7UUAJLV4U. ? ?? ?/ Mf M.. ? crease of eight million pounds over last year. The stocks of flue-cwed leaf on hand on July 1, 1930, as a carry-over from last season, totalled 599.3 million pounds as compared with 590 million pounds on July 1. 1929. This means that the total supply including both production and carry-over for this season will amount to 1,358 million pounds. This is about 18 million pounds more than in 1929. However, domestic consumption has increased at the rate of five per cent a year for the last five years and the tax sales for tobacco increased eight per cent this year, says the economist. Sheriff Says Lock Your Smokehouses "There is more than likely to be an increase in the number of cases of thievery in Warren county this fall," Sheriff O. D. Williams said yesterday. "I wish you would call the attention of the public to this matter and ask that citizens see that smokehouse and other buildings have good locks placed upon them. I think this will save the officers and courts much work and the public much loss." MISS ARRINGTON HOSTESS Miss Katherine Arrington entertained last Saturday evening at a delightful dinner party and bridge. Her guests included the Misses Sara Ward, Bobbie Jones, Mattie Wiggins Dameron, Messrs. Henry Anderson, Howard Jones Jr., Hugh Holt and Pett Boyd. High score prize for the ladies was won by Miss Jones, and Mr. Holt was winner of the gentlemen's prize. AY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1930 SUPERIOR COURT TO OPEN MONDAY Term Marked By Small Number of Cases On Docket; Judge, Small to Preside WITHOUT WHISKEY CASE Marked by the smallest criminal docket in recent years and with no cases of outstanding public interest, Warren county Superior court will convene on Monday morning, September 15, with Judge Walter L. Small of Elizabeth City presiding and with Solicitor R. Hunt Parker of Roanoke Rapids prosecuting cases for the State. Seven of the t.en criminal rases docketed are for larceny. One assault case, a forgery case, a case against a contractor for obtaining labor and material under false pretense, and an abandonment case complete the docket. The court docket is unique this term in that there is not a single liquor case to come before Judge Small. Court official? attribute this to the fact th$t Recorder's court has been handling the greater per cent of these cases in recent years. J. L. Smiley, Warrenton contractor, will face the court on a charge of obtaining labor and material under false pretense.. This case was continued from May'term of court. Thomas Williams is accused of larceny, as are Cherry Thomas and D. J. Hackney and Walter Williams.

History of Legion To Be Distributed RALEIGH, Sept. 6.?The "History' of the American Legion and Ameri-j can Legion Auxiliary, department' of North Carolina, 1919-29" has been1 compiled and will soon be ready for distribution. The book is the work of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Fletcher, of Raleigh, who have served for the past four years as department historians of the Legion and Auxiliary respectively. They have given much time and effort to the writing of the book. They have had access to the official records of both organizations and have consulted newspaper files and other sources in addition to conferring with t he leaders of both the Legion and its Auxiliary from the beginning. The story will prove immensely interesting to the men and women of the Legion and Auxiliary respectively. They have given much time and effort to the writing of the book.

There will be more than one hundred cuts of Legion and Auxiliary (Continued on page 8) r I!1 rtr Contract Awarded For Construe*^ ~ v-c Settling Baa^Jc A contract for the conduction of a re-inforced concrete settling basin was awarded to H. E. Browder of Raleigh on Tuesday by the Warrenton Water Company as a part of the areation and filtration plant to be erected here in an effort to improve the town's water supply. The bid of the Raleigh contractor was $2725. Jack Smiley of Warrenton offered the next lowest bid, $3,293.85. The highest bid received was for $4,725. The Warrenton water committee would have preferred to give the construction job to Mr. Smiley, the local contractor, W. R. Strickland, chairman, said yesterday, but the difference of more than $500 decided the matter in favor of the Raleigh man. However, Mr. Smiley's bid was several hundred dollars under figures submitted by several other contractors of the State. Conditions of the contract calls for work to be started within 15 days and to be completed within 45 days of beginning work. Harold R. Skillman, superintendent of the water company, said that machinery from the Permitti company should be here by the time that the basin is completed, ready to be installed and put to work within a few days. The basin will be erected near the pump in the north end of Warrenton. Dr. Taylor Meets With Health Board At a meeting of the Warren county board of health Friday, on suggestion of Dr. H. A. Taylor, acting secretary of the State Board of Health, a number of changes in the health work in Warren county were made. Dr. G. H. Macon, member of the board, moved that the county board place the nurse under the direction of the health officer; that her work should embrace certain definite lines of work, and that the typhoiddiphtheria campaign conducted by the nurse should terminate with the day's meeting. The motion was seconded by Supt. J. Edward Allen and passed. Resolutions submitted by Dr. Macon were recommended at a recent meeting of the medical society, of which Dr. Macon is secretary. The board, which has heretofore only met periodically to elect the I health officer, moved that the body meet regularly and direct the health work of the county as prescribed by law. Dr. Taylor first met with members cf the Warren County Medical Society. The physicians of a county, Dr. Taylor said, by the nature of their work are conversant with health conditions over a -county. Any health measures to be successful must have the cooperation of the physicians of that county and therefore it is proper that the medical society recommend to the county board of health such measures as they deem for the best interest of the county, he said. Dr. Taylor appeared before the county board of health, at which meeting members of the medical society were present, and outlined different phases of health work, suggesting that it would probably be well if the board of health would take one or two of the items most important in their judgment and have the county nurse confine her work to these phases. Woman's Club To ^ A 171 /MiTAVC U1VC rtWtty A 1VTTCIC The Warrenton Woman's club v.'ill give away Iris at the park at the Warrenton depot on Saturday, September 20, it was announced yesterday.

Citizens of the county who have any flowers that they would like to give away are asked to bring them to the park at the hours designated and they will be distributed with the Iris supplied by the Woman's club. TO SERVE BARBECUE The Lve Wire Class of the Providence church of Afton plans to serve a barbecue dinner 10 me puulic on the courthouse grounds next Tuesday, September 16. It is believed that a large number of those attending court will desire to avail themselves of the opportunity to get a good dinner of this kind. Whatever profits may be realized will be spent in the furnishing the neu Sunday school room of the class The patronage of the public will 'be highly appreciated.

The court lasted all morning, recessed for dinner and concluded its session in the early afternoon. Leading in interest was the case of State vs. Raymond Duke and Jack Carter, young white men of Norlina, charged with turning in a false fire alarm at Warrenton on the night of August; 25.

Ezra Richardson, negro of the Areola section, was sentenced to the roads for four months when he was found guilty on a charge of possessing whiskey arid aiding and abetting in the manufacture of whiskey. Richardson was arrested at his home last week; by Sheriff Williams, Constable R. O. Snipes and Deputy Frank Neal. Evidence in the case was that Richardson had a quantity of whiskey about his home and the officers found a still within a few hundred yards of his residence. Richardson said he knew nothing about the still and that the whiskey was brought to his home by a neighbor who xriew that he liked a drink. Frank King, another negro in court as the result of a recent raid by Sheriff Williams, Constable Snipes and Deputy King, was sentenced to the roads for four months on a charge of aiding and abetting in the manufacture of liquor. King was caught at the still. He explained that he had started to the spring when he noticed smoke up the branch. Investigating he found a i still, accepted a drink, but did not i aid in manufacturing. He was caught with cup in hand by officers. The other man at the still escaped. The negro proved an excellent character by leading citizens of his section and said that he hadnever been in court before. Counsel pointed out that several small chHdren were dependent upon him for support and asked the mercy of the court. The road sentence was suspended upon good behavior, payment of a $25 fire and the cost. John Johnson, negro employed at the home of W. H. Dameron at Warrenton, plead guilty to being drunk, but said that he was not guilty of operating an automobile whha un.1 ii _r :..i_~... aer me lnnuenci; 01 winsney, &a charged. Johnson admitted that he was in the drivers seat, but said that the car was driven by a colored girl sitting tetween him and Fred Palmer.

A lafceny case against Skeet Webster was transferred to Superior court for lack of jurisdiction. Thelma Games, negro woman of near Warrenton, was given a 60 days jail sentence when she was found guilty of j>ossessing whiskey. Judgment was suspended upon payment of cost.
