Young Boy Painfully
Hurt In Car Wreck
Harry Riggan, young son of
Jack Riggan of Warrenton, is re
covering from severe injuries received
when a car driven by his
sister, Miss Carrie Mae Riggan,
local telephone operator, crashed
into the rear of the Home Furniture
& Supply Co. truck near here
late Saturday afternoon. Miss Riggan
was badly shaken up but escaped
serious injury.
Young Riggan was cut the entire
length of his face, from his
forehead through his chin. Brought
to Warrenton, he was given surgical
attention by Dr. Fran^ P.
Hunter and Dr. W. D. Rodgers. It
was necessary to take 37 stitches
in the boys face and he is still
bandaged, but he is reported to be
getting on well.
The accident occurred when Miss
Riggan was passing J. M. Ellis'
store about a mile north of Warrenton.
A crowd of people were
coming out of a gate of a home
nearby and the girl turned out to
avoid striking them and cut her
car too far, causing it to crash into
the Home Furniture & Supply Co.
truck parked in front of the Ellis
store. The truck, driven by Andrew
Smiley, is said to have been
parked with two wheels resting in
the ditch on the edge of the road.
The top of the Ford roadster
driven by Miss Riggan was torn
off as well as the windshield. No
damage resulted to the truck.

early Thursday night.
Both cars were thrown from the
road by the force of the impact.
The Poindexter car landed against
a small tree and did not turn over.
The tourist car turned over three
times, it is said, and was badly
damaged. Occupants of the car,
which included a six-months-old
baby, escaped without serious injury.
The Poindexter car was
slightly damaged.
Following the wreck, occupants
of the tourist car were taken to
South Hill, Va., for examination,
and were found to be without
serious injury.
The accident is said to have heen
caused by blinding lights. The Warrenton
people were returning from
Richmond.

Says Prohibition 1
Should Be Given I
Trial of 4300 Years ,
i
W. E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson claims
that Babylonian excavations show '
that laws were promulgated four '
thousand three hundred years ago
to regulate the drink evil, according
to E. A. Skillman. Warrenton :
citizen, who spent Monday night of
last week with Mr. Johnson at Suffolk,
Va. Mr. Johnson spoke in the
Virginia city under the auspices of
the Rnffork Ministerial Association!
and the' Virginia Anti-Saloon League.
Mr. Johnson pointed cut during
the course of his talk that it is
estimated that in the next Presidential
election from ten to fifteen
million young voters who never
have had an opportunity to observe
legal regulated drinking will cast
ballots. A general educational campaign
is being carried forward,
primarily for the benefit of these
young voters, and to combat efforts
to discredit, nullify or repeal
the 18th Amendment.
The speaker asked that instead
of throwing up the prohibition
amendment after ten or eleven
years, that it be given at least the
three and forty centuries which has
been given the plan of regulation,
as evidenced by the Babylonian
excavations.
New Law Faces
Automobile Drivers
RALEIGH, Jan. 21.?Persons who
fail to pay judgments for damages
caused by their automobile accidents
will be barred from the roads
of North Carolina under a bill now
before the General Assembly. It
was introduced by Senator Clement
of Rowan.
They would be allowed to continue
to operate their automobiles,
however, if they presented to the
commissioner of revenue a bond or
a liability insurance policy guaranteeing
that they would be able to
pay for their future accidents.
Under the provisions of the bill,
if the judgment rendered because
of an accident suit is net paid
within 30 days and the bond of
liability policy was not presented,
police officers would be required to
seize the driver's license and license
plates, and prevent the operation
of the car by the driver who was
the cause of the accident.

a the minds of the public con:erning
the amount paid teachers ,
n this State. He was here for a (

President Coltrane appointed a j

in advisory body to represent the ,

alive problem that may concern

' The first of these misconceptions <
egarding the salaries paid teachers
s as to the amount. The other is j
hat North Carolina pays her teacli;rs
more than any of her sister
states," President Coltrane stated.
He stated that the average annual
salaries paid teachers in
North Carolina last year was 840.41,
an average of $70.87 per month on
x twelve month basis.
On the basis of ar. incomplete
survey, he said, it has been found
that eight other Southern States
pay their teachers more than
North Carolina does. Of the neighboring
states, only South Carolina
is below North Carolina, in the average
annual salary paid to school

VETERANS ARE

IUICK ACTION NEEDED
A mass meeting of all the veterns
of the World War will be held
t the court house at Warrenton on
Thursday night, January 29, at 8
clock, to lend their support to the
flort being made to have the gov

The meeting is being calld
by Dr. Wallace Mustian, Comuander,
and Henry Montgomery,
djutant of Limer Po6t of the
i m erican Legion.
Limer Post by unanimous vote
,t a recent meeting went of record
,s favoring the payment of the cerificates
now and have written to
Congressman John H. Kerr and to
Senators Morrison and Simmons
tating their position on the matter.
Letters have been mailed to a
lumber of ex-service men, but oficials
of the legion point out the
Lifficulty of reaching all the veterans
in Warren in this matter, and
hey stress the point that they
vant all ex-service men present,
vhether or not they belong to the
jegion.
Pointing cut the need for quick

approximately $260,000 for Warren
county veterans."
State Support Of
Schools Is Gaining
RALEIGH, Jan. 22.?Sentiment
in favor of complete State support
for the six months school term
seems to be steadily increasing,
judging from the hearing held
Wednesday before the joint Educations
"committees on the Baggett-Young
bill to require the
State to provide the revenue to the
counties for the six months school
term. The bill would finance this
through a general gross sales and
income tax on all gross sales from
ail businesses and professions in
excess of $10,000 a year. The
authors of the bill estimate that it
will provide between $25,000,000
and $30,000,000 a year.
The Education committees cannot,
of course, pass upon the financial
aspects of the bill, which must
be passed upon later oy tne
Finance committees. But the
majority of the members of the
education committees seem to be
favorably inclined toward the bill,
which is being advocated mcst
strongly by the North Carolina
Tax Relief Association, the extreme
property tax relief bloc which
wants to shift the entire tax burden
for schools to a sales tax on
business and industry, and by the
big railroads and lumber companies,
who have large land holdings
and high property taxes, but
which would be only slightly affected
by a sales tax.
