The Warrenton team lost their first game to Whitakers by the count of 13 to 6, Friday, October 3. Last Friday afternoon they battled the Norlina team to a 7-7 tie. Wednesday afternoon they were unable to overcome a one point lead in the first quarter of a game here with Windsor. Each team scored a touchdown during this quarter, but Warrenton failed to score the extra point on the kick and it was by this margin that they were defeated. The last three qiiarters were played with neither side able to cross the goal line, though Warrenton lost two good scoring chances during the last period of play. The first of these after a succession of plays had carried the ball to within a few yards of the visitors' goal, only to lose it, and again when a fumble at the end of a long run starting from a pass that carried the ball to the Windsor 15 yard line, after the runner had cut back into a group of tackles for the opposition. Hard play with occasional flashes of ability marked the Warrenton squad, but they were outplayed by the visiting team whose school has had football for several years. The advantage of experience was shown in the superior interference and teamplay of the visitors. Yesterday the Warrenton team, accompanied by Manager R. H. Bright and Coach Jimmie Mayfield, journeyed to Raleigh to see the State-Wake Forest game. Dr. B. B. Williams \ Dies At Greensboro r i 1 ttREENSBORO.

Jt was decided that no effort vould be made to sign-up the 1930 nop, but that contracts would be listributed throughout the county hat farmers might have an opporunity to study over them and deermine by next spring whether or lot they want to join the associaion.

HATE BODY WILL NOT TRY TO GET CROP THIS YEAR RALEIGH, Oct. 15.?All hope of organizing a State-wide tobacco cooperative in time to help the farmirs dispose of their 1930 crop was iefinitely abandoned at a meeting f the executive committee of the robacco Organization Committee, leld here yesterday. At the same :me, the committee went unaninously on record as favoring orjanization for the 1931 and subsejuent crops and chose J. R. Page, of Aberdeen, to head the organization and, upon its formation, the proposed assciation. Though the committee had found nany farmers who wanted to sfgn :ontracts for disposal of the 1930 :rop, it was the unanimous opinion ;hat the time for such action had massed. It passed the following resoution: Unwise This Year "It is unanimously resolved that t would be unwise to attempt to jrganize for the purpose of handing the 1930 crop but it is the unmimous opinion, in view of the wide nterest being manifest toward the ietting up of an association for the 1931 crop, that every effort be made o organize the association to handle :he 1931 crop." Mr. Page was unanimously elected it the recommendation of Govern)r Gardner. That the Governor in;ends to push the organization at mce was shown in the telegram he ;ent James G. Stone, of the Federal Parm Board, after the meeting. The :elegram follows: "Upon my recommendation the committee unanimously named J. It. Page, of Aberdeen, as president :nd general manager of the tobac;o association. He is a brother to ?rank Page, former highway commissioner, also a brother to the late Ambassador Page. Mr. Page has a splendid business record from ac;ive management of large lumber, ailroad, banking and farming inserests with the various Page com. oanies. Mr. Page has accepted and want a conference with you and ism. Please arrange to come here f posible." In Hearty Sympathy In accepting the post as head of :he organization committee, made ap of representatives from the various tobacco growing counties and several members at large, appointed oy the Governor, Mr. Page said: "I im heartily in sympathy with the effort that is being made to organize a tobacco marketing association for North Carolina tobacco growers. If I can be of any use in helping to establish such an organization, I shall gladly furnish my services and will help in every way possible."

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 42 POWELL FREED LIQUOR CHARGE ' * Jury Says Local White Man Is Not Guilty of Manufacturing Whiskey WATSON IS NOT GUILTY Vernon Powell, "100 per cent," tvas found not guilty of manufacturing whiskey by a Warren county jury in Recorder's Court at warrenton on Monday. Powell, well known white man of near Warrenton, was caught by Warren officers near a still on September 29. His case was docketed [or trial last Monday, and continued a week when he asked for trial by a jury. Five deputies told the court how they had raided a still near Warrenton on Monday afternoon, September 29, and caught Powell, wearing beer-stained overalls, several hundred yards from the still after i chase that began a short distance from the bcoze outfit. They said that they had not seen him at the still which was in operation at the time, but that after Powell had warned the officers to let him go, he accompanied them to the still site and claimed one of three coats there as his own. The officers admitted on cross examination that they had been . watching the still for several days, that they had information that Powell was manufacturing whiskey, but had not actually seen him at the still. They admitted that the defendant could have been running from a point nearby, but expressed the opinion that this was not likely. Powell did not take the stand. He was defended by John Kerr Jr. Julius Banzet assisted Cromwell Daniel in the prosecution. The jury was out 20 minutes before returning its verdict of not guilty. Members of the jury were Ed Petar, Ed Drvrlitrnll Tnhr* Pawfrhnrnp WftWAlTi HVVViVTWlly VWtUI VMII?UW>HV| > ? ? Riggan, C. S. Haithcock, and H. B. Daniel. Nathan Watson was declared not guilty of a charge of possessing whiskey for the pui-pose of sale. Evidence in the case were three empty pint bottles and four fruit jars containing a few drops of whiskey secured by Chief M. M. Drake and Deputy Haithcock in a raid on Watson Cafe last week. The officers told the court that although they had made a thorough search of the cafe, they failed to find any whiskey except a little in each fruit jar and admitted upon cross examination by John Kerr Jr. that these were not concealed. Watson told the court that he had engaged a woman to assist him in washing the dishes in anticipation of the large crowd to be here on circus day and that during the conversation she had told him that she would like to have seven or eight fruit jars. He told her that frequently they were to be found in an alley running back of a store near his place of business and that he would try to find her some. He told the court that he managed to pick up four and placed them in His kitchen so she could carrv them home with her that night. He said that he had picked up the bottles back of Boyce's Drug Company, and as they were clean, good bottles, carried them with him to his cafe, having no particular purpose in view. Charlie Haithcock, Warrenton business man, told the court that he had frequently seen empty bottles in the alley described by Watson which ran back of the store in which he was employed. Mr. Haithcock gave Watson a good character, as did William Burroughs, R. T. Watson, T. V. Allen, and a couple of negro ministers. Judge Rodwell, after hearing the evidence, waved argument by the attorneys, and ordered that the clerk make an entry of not guilty.
