C., I THREE MEN HELD IN WARREN JAIL Handkerchief Left In Store Leads To Arrest of Negro On Robbery Charge TRIED BEFORE PRIDGEN Unable to give $2,000 bond, James Hargrove, negro, is in Warren county jail awaiting trial at May j term of Superior court on a charge of breaking and entering four stores at Wise. James Robertson and Stafford Robertson, negroes, also are in Warren jail charged with receiving the goods stolen by Hargrove, knowthem to be stolen. Haywood Robertson, negro, is being sought by Warren officers. It is alleged that he was the accomplice of Hargrove on his robbery trips. A handkerchief dropped on the floor of Parkinson Brothers store at Wise when it was robbed on Monday night is said to have furnished the clue that led to the arrest of the negroes. The handkerchief was hemstitched in large thread and hand-stall was sewn to its back. This was to keep the robbers from leaving fingerprints. This handkerchief was turned over to R. O. Snipes, Warrenton township constable, by Mr. Perkinson. He made an investigation and found that it had been seen on Robertson, according to reports. Warrants were secured and Constable Snipes accompanied by Chief Carter of Norlina and Tom Leete went to the negro's home on Wednesday night. Carter and Leete remained outside while Constable Snipes entered the home. Hargrove ran out of the back door and was imuueu oy umei uaner. KODertson ran up the stairs. He was followed by Snipes. The negro jumped from the second story window and escaped. James and Stafford Robertson were arrested the following morning. The trio was given a hearing before Magistrate Macy Pridgen who found probable cause in all cases. Hargrove's bond was set at $500 for each of four robberies he is charged with. James Robertson's bond was set at $100. Stafford Robertson's bond was placed at $250. None of the negroes were able to raise these sums and were sent to the Warren county jail. James Hargrove is charged with robbing Perkinson Brothers store on March 9; Linnie King's store on March 10; R. H. Rudd's store on February 26, and Ben Newell's store on January 20th.

Farmers Petition Solons To Reduce Real Estate Taxes RALEIGH, March 12.?The Senate and House finance committees joined hands once again Thursday afternoon to lend an ear to the petitions of hundreds of farmers. mobolizing in Raleigh. The legislative committees have heard from almost every strata of business and industrial pursuits except that of the farmer. And after dissolving Monday night, the finance committees came together again to hear the sentiments of the farmers concerning the subject of taxation. Arrangements for the hearing were made by Charles F. Cates, president of the Farmer's Alliance, and W. Kerr Scott, Master cf the State Grange. The position of the farmers as indicated by statements of thenspokesmen is primarily on the side of those who would remove ad valorem taxes for the support of schools and those who would oppose the repeal of the MacLean school law. They further oppose the Day gross sales tax but favor thn Hinsdale luxury tax proposal. They object vigorously to postponement of revaluation of property. The House committee Tuesday committed itself to the principle of the Day gross sales tax plan and appointed a sub-committee to perfect details of the proposal. It would levy a graduated tax on the (Continued on Page 8) Teachers To Receive Salary Next Week Warren county teachers and truck drivers will be paid next week, it was learned yesterday at the office of the Superintendent of schools.

W. Taylor on Monday morning. Buck Burchette, negro blacksmith of the Ridgeway section, was freeed of a charge of stealing a knife, watch, and probably a dish pan ^ full of household utensils from the home of Peter Baskerville, aged s' negro, who also lived near Ridge- ? way. b Baskerville missed these articles from his home shortly after he had b been paid a visit by Burchette, and a apparently was confident that the blacksmith had stolen his property. ^ His knife had been found on Bur cnette who also naa attempted 10 ? sell a watch to a Mr. Capps, whose 1 description of the watch corresponded to the time piece lost to Baskerville. Burchette claimed that he had found the knife, and pulled out a T heavy watch in the court room and displayed it as being the one that ai he tried to sell Mr. Capps. Mr. it Capps denied that this was the ai watch that he had been shown be- ir fore. cc fv Julius Banzet, representing Bur- " chette, pointed out that it was nothing unusual about Burchette find- ir ing the knife, that he had not tried s to hide it in any manner; that Bui- se chette's father had recently died * and left him a watch which he had attempted to sell in an open man- ? ner; that Baskerville had sent one 01 man to the roads about this same sc watch, that "uncle Peter" was old and subject to hallicinations, that Burchette bore a good reputation, vc and that it was a shame to brand cc this negro as a criminal for the rest of his life. Judge Taylor found Bur- ^ chette not guilty. n< Henry Thornton, negro, was arrested by Chief M. M. Drake and ^ Officer R. O. Snipes on Saturday with a pint bottle of booze on his ^ person, it was said that he had T threatened to shoot "Big Dick," ^ Warrenton negro, if he did not buy ^ it from him. Thornton was fined ai $5.00 and the costs of court by Re- in corder Taylor. He had paid a similar A. fine in magistrate trial following his ^ arrest. The negro plead guilty to a~ the charge. James K.
