Warrenton Clashes With Norlina Team This Afternoon John Graham football players will clash with the Norlina eleven on the Warrenton field this afternoon at 3 o'clock in what promises to be the highlight of the football season. Norlina and Warrenton played to a 7-7 tie on the Norlina field several weeks ago and supporters of both teams are anxious to see uie ucaulock broken. Warrenton took the little end of a 6 to 0 score from Spring Hope at Spring Hope last Friday afternoon. Terrell crossed the goal line for Warrenton on an end run only to have the ball called back by the j referee because of clipping from the | rear. A few minutes later Poindexter | picked up a ball and started toward the goal line on an incompleted pass. The referee ruled that it was a forward pass and not recoverable. As the final whistle blew Haithcock had recovered a fumble and started toward the Spring Hope goal line for the third time. ASSISTING AUDITOR W. R.

Skillman, superintendent of the company, announced yesterday. The last of the machinery is being installed. Engineers from the Permutit Company are on hand superintending the installation of the chemical department of the filtration plant. Mr. Skillman said that if nothing unfcrseen arised to delay the work that the new water will be turned into the mains by the middle of next week. He pointed out that it would be necessary to flush the mains before this was done and for this reason the water would probably be muddy for a few days, but no more so than is usually the case following this work. He said that it would be necessary to cut off the water supply an hour or two for one or two nights after this vork was started, but that the workers would time their labors so as to cause the least possible inconvenience to the water users. While the work of flushing the mains is. being carried on, the water company will hold the storage tank in reserve in case of fire.

Cotton Growers Hear Mann Discuss Marketing Problem Checks will be mailed out of the Raleigh office Friday bringing the advance on all 1929 cotton to 16c, M.. G. Mann, secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association, told a group of Warren county farmers at a mass meeting held at the court house Wednesday at 2:30; o'clock. Mr. Mann was presented' by George R.

There statements are absolutely groundless. This week we are mail-' ing out checks bringing the advance to 16c to those who have received less, and there will also he an additional check of 60c or more for freight adjustments. Farmers will not be called on to pay back any of this money. There will be no loss on the 1929 crop as the old crop has been turned over to the Stabilization Board and will not be sold in competion with the 1930 cotton, or until prices go back to 16c or more." "And the report that is being circulated that the organization is not advancing 90 per cent as it promised is also untrue," Mr. Mann said. "We still make the advance promised, but it has become necessary for us to do this in a different manner from what we started out doing. Due to the fact that a good many of our representatives were unexperienced judges of cotton and that a number of people were taking advantage of this by shipping in inferior grades, the organization decided to advance 8c on the seasonal pool and 7c on the optional pool when the cotton is delivered. After the cotton is graded by experts, the advance is brought up to approxi(Continued on page 8) - * i rv Birthday Dinner Proves Successful Twelve tables representing the months of the year were filled at the Parish House here yesterday afternoon and the treasury of the Episcopal church was enriched about $70 as a result of the novel idea of ladies of that organization of serving a meal amid the beautiful setting that nature slowly reveals during the twelve months of the year.
