Exact loss cannot be determined until a thorough check is made of the stock. The loss is estimated at from three to five hundred dollars. No clues have been fcund. The robbery was discovered about 5 o'clock on Thursday morning by Night Officer Lovell who telephoned W. H. Alston, manager of the store. Investigation revealed that entrance had been made by boring out holes in the lower panel of the dcor and that ladies clothing, coats, men's suits and overcoats, hats shces hose and ether goods had been removed, and a few dollars change had been taken from the cash drawer. Iron bars covered the upper part of the door, and the cash drawer was opened with a combination, leading officers to believe that the robbery was committed by some one familiar with the arrangements in the store. Sheriff's Books In Perfect Condition, Auditor Declares "Sheriff Williams bcoks are as in as near perfect condition as it is ?possible for a set of books to be," . Frank Gorham of Gorham & Co., A accountants of Greensboro, reported to the board of county commissioners in regular session here on Monday. Mr. Gorham has been in the county for several days audit- ] ing the bcoks of the sheriff pre- Fo paratory to a final settlement. v/c - - . _ r Mr. Gorham told the memoers 01 an the board that in all his experience, Ed covering a number of years and trc audits in almost every county, that an be had never found the sheriff's sts books in better condition. Every ] cent was properly accounted for and not a clerical error found. on The board congratulated Sheriff el" Williams and ordered that a minute Sc be made of Mr. Gorham's finding. dl] Friends here feel that the finding cf the auditor was not only a great th( compliment to Sheriff Williams, but wc also to Miss Gayle Tarwater, his of- otJ fice deputy, who has kept the re- scl cords for that office. 0j Health Seals Are On m< Sale At Drug Stores m< Ml Christmas Health Seals have been placed on sale at both drug stores at Warrenton, Mrs. C.

Pinnell May Not Lose Sight Of Either of His Eyes E. Hunter Pinnell, game warden and former Coroner of Warren county, lies in the Henderson hospital as the result of sticking a piece of grapevine in his left eye.

He v,as taken to the Henderson hospital by his brother, J. K. Pinnell, where it was ffeared that he might loose the sight of bcth eyes.

Miss Mabel Davis, librarian, said yes+?-i-/*oir in rfisftussine the meeting to 1/^1 UUJ w be held cn Monday night. "It is quite conceivable that those of us who haven't the means for travel nor the time for extensive reading may become, or have become, narrow and somewhat prejudiced in .cur views. We may need to recast our minds to keep abreast of this new age." Mustian To Head 4th District Dentists Dr. W. F.

DAY, DECEM' v^\^30 NEW SUPPLY OF WATER IN MAINS Filtered Water Cut On Yesterday Morning; Strickland Explains Delay SIGN A NEW CONTRACT Filtered and aerated water is [lowing through the mains of War- ; renton. The new supply was cut on i Thursday morning at 9:30. : Harold R. Skillman, superintend mt of the Warrenton Water Company said that it would perhaps take several days for the rust and accumulations to wear out of the i pipes, but that the supply should : be good after that time as analysis made at the pump show the water ;o be in good condition with objectionable odcr and color removed. W. R. Strickland, chairman of :he water committee, told members of the board of town commission, ors at their regular session on MenSay night that the cost of the plant v;ould hardly exceed the $7,500 authorized by the board for the installation of the areation and filtration plant. He pointed cut that machinery had been installed and ill was in readiness to turn on the new water supply, but that it was deemed best to erect a brick building to protect the pumps from freezing before the switch from the old to the new was made. Cold weather delayed the masens and consequently there was delay in turning on the new water. The board authorized the mayor and secretary-treasurer to sign a new contract with the Carolina Power & Light Co. for power to operate the new plant. The newcontract will take the place of the old one now in effect and will give t-Vm tmim a lnwpr nower rate. Other business was of a routine nature ana the board adjourned upon motion of Commissioner Frank Series after a 30-minute session. Mrs. A. S.

Alston Finds That Pine Can Be Made Into Newsprint Papei ATLANTA, Dec. 2.?A chemistrj Alladin laid before an Atlanta Chamber of Commerce luncheor white newsprint paper made froir a new source?slash pine. He said it opens me prosper uj a new and wholly American supplj of newsprint and high-grade book paper made from southern pine tiees, probably of all sorts. The Alladin was Dr. Charles H Herty, of Sew York, former president of the American Chemical Society. He made his discovery public without reservations, and proposed that southern business mer make use of the knowledge to enrich the south. Southern pine long has been usee to make paper cf a yellow variety Dr. Herty said, but not to compete with the high-grade sulfite proces: newsprint and white book papei made from spruce. His news paper was made of the one variety of southern pine supposed to be the least capable ol producing regular newsprint. II v.'as held to contain too much resin Last spring Dr. Herty announced at a meeting here the discoverj that resin in young slash pines ii ? -~J-1? ?? ? a. v. - l-A/lnvf Vi a nrnnfor mostly my til, fclilU tuuajr aig guvwv the International Paper Company'! research laboratory in confirmation Furthermore, Dr. Herty said there is no more resin in any of the southern pines than in spruce. The resin forms in the heart wood cl the southern pines after they are about 25 years old, when he said they usually are too large for pulpwood. The new white paper sample was made at paper mill in a metal basket suspended inside a "digester,' which was otherwise filled with spruce undergoing the regular sulfite process. Not only did the supposedly stubbon slash pine digest as easily as the spruce, said Dr Herty, but it whitened with the same amount of bleach. Its fibers were as long and strong as spruce "This is the first time, so far as I am aware," he said, "that slash pine has been made into this grade of white paper. "Experiments now under way but not yet completed, indicate that the same thing can be done with long-leaf pine."
