This time he is wanted for entering the Blue Moon Tourist Camn near Norlina early Sunday morning and assaulting the proprietor, Ray Weston, young white man of Warrenton. Stevenson is said to have gone to the camp early Sunday and inquired of Mr. Weston as to the whereabouts of his wife. When Mr. Weston denied any knowledge of her whereabouts, hot words followed, which resulted in a tussell in which the lighter proprietor came off second best. Stevenson left the camp but returned later and found his wife in one of the cabins, it is said. He was in the camp when Sheriff O. D. Williams and Deputies W. N. Carter, Jack Williams and John Cawthorne of Norlina, came down to the Blue Moon in response to a call from Mr. Weston. As the officers approached, a younger brother notified Jesse Stevenson and he fled from the cabin. The officers fired several shots at the fleeing man. It is believed that a number of birdshot took affect in his back, but Stevenson managed to outdistance his pursuers and escape. Reports from Wise are that Stevenson has been seen in that vicinity several times since the shooting. Jesse Stevenson is said to have been with Bennie Clayton, alleged rum runner, the night of June 6 when he went to the home of Francis Slaughter and was fatally wounded as he attempted to attack wAiinor Rlcmorht.or A warrant was J rivv**M..V i.mw sworn out for Stevenson at that time, but was withdrawn by the Slaughters a few days later, It is said.

Officer Drops Into A Barrel of Beer A search for a still terminated with startling suddenness on last Thursday when Officer John Cary Davis plunged into a barrel of beer up to his waist. A second barrel was found nearby and the still was located in the woods a short distance away. Searching for a reported still on Rich Neck creek in Shocco township last Thursday afternoon Officers E. D. and John Cary Davis were about to give up the hunt as a futile undertaking when Officer John Cary Davis dropped into a hole and found cold mash soaking about his legs.

The officers destroyed the beer and brought a 30gallon capacity still to Warrenton. Indications were that the plant had not been operated in several days, the officers reported.

Moore on Tuesday evening between the hours of 6 and 8 o'clock to enjoy a turkey dinner and to help the ladies of the Presbyterian church in their financial endeavors. Proceeds from the plates, which were sold at 50c apiece, amounted to $102 and will . be used for home and foreign missions. Original plans of the ladies in charge were to have Robert H. House, executive secretary of the University of Ncrth Carolina, read a short story written by W. T. Polk. On learning that Mr. House would be unable to be present, plans were made for one of the ladies of the Presbyterian church to read the piece ,but due to the fact that many mere people than had been expected to attend the dinner were on hand and that most all of these came at the same hour, time was not available for the reading of the piece. Mr. Polk's article will be read on another occasion, it was said. In giving the news stcry, Mrs. N. Mcl.

Louisburg College May Close Doors At End of Semester By a vote cf 168 to 10 the annual Methodist uomerence in scsaiu?i aij Henderson on Monday extended a! credit of $12,000 to Louisburg College to see it through the present Semester ending January 20. The vcte followed a lengthly and spirited debate, during which time Rev. W. A. Stanbury, Durham, chairman of the conference Board of Christian Education, jointed out the difficulties confronting the college, and what he considered the futility and lack of wisdom cf any plan to attempt to keep it in operation. He was joined in this objection by Rev. C. K. Procter, treasurer of the college board cf trustees, but numerous other speakers urged extension of the credit, to the end that the college might keep faith with its 100 students, the faculty and other comitments. It was also decided to wage a campaign in the North Carolina Christian Advocate, Greensboro, for funds toward the $12,000 needed. The conference provided for the application of funds in a $4,500 appropriation toward the college cause toward payment of Interest and principle on the loan, if it were negotiated. The plan is for the $12,000 to be repaid in four equal annual payments over the quad 1 xxrifVi int.AT*PJS?t ronnxuxii, tugcmci. ****** charge All of the $12,000 is for ctligatlons between November 1, 1030 and January 20, 1931.

During the debate it was brought out that the college has a debt of $146,000, and it was said its value was in excess of $500,000. After an appeal by W. L. Knight, (Continued on page 8) ? <? Prisoners Tear Up Fixtures At Jail Resenting close confinement four prisoners in the Warren county jail expressed their bitterness for the second time on Tuesday by tearing up the water fixtures in their cells and flooding the jail. After many gallons of water had flown through the broken pipes and the floor cov ered, their action was discovered and the water cut off from the outside of the jail building. Last week the prisoners told Jailer Lovell that they needed more exercise and asked to be turned out of their cells into the main hall of the jail.
