Negro Id Killed In
Auto Wreck; Driver
Is In Warren Jail
James Rudd, negro of near Warrenton,
is dead, Walter Kearney,
negro, has a broken arm, and Allen
Green, young negro of Warrenton, is
in jail awaiting trial on a charge
of manslaughter as a result of an
automobile wreck on the Warrenton-Norlina
road near Warrenton
on Sunday afternoon.
According to the coroner's inquest
held here on Sunday and continued
uiinu x ucouaj 111U11U115 \ju atwuxiv
of the condition of Allen Green who
received a head wound in the
smash, Green, driving a Nash touring
car towards Norlina, attempted
to pass a Pontiac followed by a
motorcycle ridden by Charles Jennette
and Claude Newman of Norlina,
before meeting an approaching
Ford sedan 'being driven by
James Rudd. He miscalculated the
distance and speed and a head-on
collision resulted. A part of the
Ford top went through the head
of James Rudd causing instant
death. Moses Rudd, Aggie Rudd and
Sydney Rudd, riding in the Ford
received painful bruises but no
serious injuries. Walter Kearney,
riding with Green, received a broken
arm. Percalle Green, Harvey Davis
and Lonnie Bulluck, other occupants
of the Nash were not seriously hurt.
The coroner's jury found that
James Rudd came to his death as
the result of being struck by an
automobile driven by Allen Green.
They presented their findings to
the Grand Jury, then in session, and
a true bill, charging manslaughter,
was returned by that body to the
court. The case was continued until
January term and Green's bond
was set at $1500. Unable to raise
this amount he is in jail.

by Coroner E. H. Pinnell were D.

Man Advertises
For Wife; Marries
Widow In Nash J
BY BIGNALt JONES
H. C. Gilbert is married. He now ,
has a wife and five children. A few ,
weeks ago he was single. Thereby 1
hangs a story.
Mr. Gilbert, 52 year old farmer, ,
who formaly lived on the Atlas ,
Hicks farm near Warrenton, grew ,
tired of single life. Memory recalled ,
the days of marital bliss and he j
looked upon married couples with ,
envy at the joys and comradeships <
that were no longer his. He j
contemplated the subject. He reason- j
ed that it was no need for him to ]
walk through life alone. He tajked
the matter over with friends. He j
placed a want advt. In the Warren i
Record, stating that he wanted a j
wife. He specified that she be bo- <
tween 18 and 30. i
The paper went out. Letters! i
began to come in from ladies de- i
tfrinir rhflnse their single state. j
""" O ? Q, ~ ? _
He heard from places as far as 1
Richmond. He studied the replies. <
A few weeks went by with the 1
prospective bridegroom taking no I
action. Then he motored with O. B. i
Leake and Robert Register one 1
Sunday to Griffin township, Nash i
county. Messrs. Leake and Register <
observed. They returned to Warren- <
ton and reported there would f
probably be a wedding. 1
Citizens became interested. They 1
wondered about Mr. Gilbert's
venture. But Mr. Gilbert said m>th- i
ing. He disappeared from the 5
county. Last Friday he came back i
with a truck for his household goods. >
He was accompanied by his wife ]
and part of his family. <
Shyly the former Warren citizen <
presented his wife to the writer. She 1
is 47 years old and the mother of 1
five children. She told her side of 1
the story, ((
It was not the advertisement in
he paper that led her to Mr. Gilbert j
she said. It was a suitor who could
not please on account of his in- '
ability to be temperate in drinking,
she stated. This fault could not be (
overcome by five years courtship 1
of the Nash county widow. He told J
her that Mr. Gilbert wanted a wife. ^
a montinc was arranged,
TT XT ?
"I liked him the first time I saw I j
him." the woman said. "He came and ,
we talked the matter over. He went ,
back home and wrote me a letter. I ,
answered it. He came again to see j
me and didn't leave until we went |
to Nashville on September 9th and
were married at the court house." j
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will make j
their home at the former home of (
the bride in Griffin township, Nash \
county. i

Congressman Kerr
Urges Growers To
Organize At Once
Prices paid for tobacco when the
market opens here will be practically
double what they are today if
the farmers of the tobacco growing
states immediately bind themselves
together in such a manner as to
show the tobacco companies that
they mean business, Congressman
John H. Kerr said Monday in addressing
a crowd which had gathered
in the court room during recess
hour of Superior court to listen to
any remedial suggestion which
might influx the present low prices
paid for the tobacco crop.
The Congressman in his speech,'
which had been announced during
the morning session of court and
which lasted for an hour, brought,
put many facts which he presented
at Raleigh last Thursday when'
more than 2000 farmers assembled
with State leaders In the hope of:
working out some solution to the'
financial crisis which farmers are]
facing on account of the low prices
paid for their tobacco crop.
"I am not advocating a cooperative
association like our former one'
which went into the hands of the
receivers, but if tentative plans are1
carried out whereby warehouse- j
men, bankers, supply men unite and
agree to cut acreage 25 per cent,
then I urge my Warren cpunty
farmer friends to join with them.
When the tpbacco companies are' i
convinced that the farmers are j
through with having their crop
taken on the pretense of over-pro-'
iuction and are willing to fight for
their cause by bringing about a
shortage of the crop, then the 'gentlemen's
agreement' between the
companies as to price-fixing will
jive way to competitive bidding and
the price of tobacco will ascend,"
Congressman Kerr asserted.
Citing figures to show that the
ncrease in consumption of tobacco'
was greater than the increase in
production, the speaker scorned the
alibi of the tobacco companies that
low prices were due to over-proiuction.
"The reason your tobacco
loesn't bring any more is due to the
lack of competitive bidding. The1
inly competition that exists be-'
iween the companies is that of
ieclaring profits," Judge Kerr said.1
'While you are being paid less than i
;he cost of growing your crop, the
;obacco companies are pyramiding]
iividends."
Pointing out Danville, Va., as an'
3xample of prosperity under competitive
bidding among buyers, Congressman
Kerr said at one time
;here were 400 tobacco buyers on
die market of the Virginia town,
ind the crop was bring good prices.
Beautiful homes were built, he said,
ind the town grew into one of the ,
nost prosperous and largest in the
State, but as this corps of buyers
aegan to diminish, then the town
jecame less prosperous.
"Agriculture is the basic industry
of this country and when the
farmer fails to prosper, as practically
all of them have been doing,
then the financial depression is
universal," the speaker pointed out.

chief crops in the Carolinas, Geor(Continued

Can Not Measure
Life By Material
Gain, Judge Says
The abundance of life can not be
measured by material gain, Judge
Walter L. Small of Elizabeth City
told members of the Warren county
grand jury Monday morning in an
' * -x xi-- 4-U? Cor>_
aaaress at wie upcmng ui uk ui.^tember
tsrm of Superior court.
Character building is the most im-j
portant thing in life, he said, and
it makes but little difference
whether a citizen accumulates
money or not so long as he so lives
as to win the respect of his neighbors
and of his own self.
The jurist said that Warren
county had suffered a great loss
since he last held court here in the
death of B. B. Williams, Brodie
Jones and W. K. Williams. Paying
brief tribute tp their memories, he
pointed out that these three outstanding
citizens are remembered
not for their wealth, but for the
public service they rendered, illustrating
his conception of the worthwhile
life.
Conditions in Warren are much
better than in many other counties
in which he has held court, Judge
Small said. Although depression
and drought has hit here as in
other sections, Warren's agriculture
was more diversified and the loss
would be less than in other eastern
counties. Life can not run on an
even keel, he said. There must be
depressions to appreciate prosperity.
Citizens who have been living too
fast must pause to take stock and
AHvrorcit.v nffcpn hnilHs
CWXiUlllXAC. HUIViU' yj w?yv*. P* v,.,v,charaoter
necessary lor the proper
development of citizenship and the
lessons learned now will be invaluable
in the future growth of the
State.
He told the jurors how a life of
luxury had so sqfterfed, the Ancient
Romans that they fell victims
to decay from within. He
asked that they think of the privations
of their forefathers during
colonial days and in the civil war
period. Men returned from the
Civil War without sufficient money
to buy a plow point, and yet present-day
citizens riding around in
automobiles and attending picture
shows are complaining about hard
times. Judge Small said that he had
nothing to say against these forms
of amusement, provided they could
be afforded, but overindulgence here
often brought hardships.
Warren county is to be congratulated
upon its small criminal docket,
Judge Small said. He held that it
was an evidence that Warren's
citizens are law-abiding. The
courts are not run for the benefit
of lawyers as is sometimes charged,
but for the citizens of the State.
The purpose of sentencing a person
is not for punishment of the
? Jl?-1 toonh Inn, nU,/,. I

and to make a community a
