Raiding in Shocco township, two miles south of the Park Town place, on Monday afternoon, Federal Officers F. E. Street, B. A. Dale and E. P. Honeycutt, with Vance County Deputy W. G. Watkins Jr. and J. C. Davis from Warren, captured Algie Johnson at a 75-gallon copper still. Two other negroes were with Johnson at the still, but eluded the officers. One of the men, it was said, was recognized as being Arthur Hunt. Johnson was carried to Norlina and given a hearing before Commissioner Hardy who placed him under a $400 bond. While the committment papers were being filled out, a negro came up and asked for permission to talk to Johnson. Upon being questioned as to who he was, the negro said his name was Arthur Hunt. He was arrested by the Federal men and placed under a $400 bond. Both men were carried to the Vance county jail. Six hundred gallons of beer and 6 galons of whiskey were destroyed with the still which was in opera- f tion when the officers flushed the | men. ?

J Early Monday morning the weed 'began to ride into town and before the day had started for many people , vacant spots on the floors had been covered. With Center's floor crowded and space at a premium on Boyd's and the crop continuing to come forth, Tarwater's warehouse was obtained by W. B. Boyd j and Co. and 30,000 pounds unloaded i I there. Sales began at the Center warehouse and it was late before the auctioneer and buyers could reach Boyd's. Sales continued there into the night and it was Tuesday before Auctioneer Hicks could begin his chatter over the offering which had been carried to Tarwater's j warehouse. I Tuesday and Wednesday were ( good days for the local warehouses, ' but fell right much short of Monday's break. Another break occurred here yesterday with sales running up to 140,000 pounds. Farmers have been here from every township this week, it seems, and they have been joined by producers from neighboring counties and the State of Virginia. Their produce has been handled deftly and the sales have moved smoothly. With Monday breaking the record, this is claimed to have been the best week in the history of the Warrenton market.

Following discussion of cost of < insurance under the Workmen's 1 Compensation Act in which all mem- 3 bers engaged, Commissioner John L. 3 Skinner made the motion that the 1 county set up a sinking fund of 1 $1,000 a year to provide money for < claims arising cut of injury to em- i ployees of the county. The motion 3 was seconded by Commissioner H. ' I.. Wall and passed without dissenting vote. Action upcn the insurance ques- 1 tion came late in the afternoon > when the question or renewing the county insurance policy was brought to the attention cf the board. The morning session was given over to the disposal of routine matters. Members pointed cut that the present policy was costing the county approximately $700 a year and exjressed the opinion that tne county could carry its own insurance cheaper. Under the Workmen's Ccmpensation Act, passed by the last Legislature, counties were given the pri vilege of coming in under tne measure in order to insure its workmen. Last year the county carried such insurance upon its employees, but decided Monday that the cost was too great. T. W. Watson, 53, Dies At Louisburg LOUISBURG, Nov. 5.?T.
