I * ByCR Senator Rodwell Would Have Special Officer For Warren A bill to appoint a special law enforcement in Warren county was introduced on Wednesday by Senator T. O. Rodwell. The bill has passed the Senate. It is not known when the measure will reach the House. Early in the session Mr. Rodwell i..x _ Ulll 4-/-v ftv>r?Amf PaM miruauueu 3 um a^uiuv wmstable R. O. Snipes as a special enforcement officer for Warren, but the bill mas killed when it reached the House. At that time Mr. Davis stated in an open letter to The Warren Record, "Reason and outside pressure forbade the passage of the bill. It is only fair for me to state that the 'Rural Police Bilf for Warren County will not become a law." Whether or not Mr. Snipes will be appointed if this bill becomes a law is not known. The petition responsible for the first bill introduced by Senator Rodwell bore the names of hundreds of Warren citizens and the endorsement of the board of county commissioners after Mr. Snipes appeared before them on the first Monday in February and pointed out that by paying him a flat salary instead of fees that the county would save considerable money. Russia Is Leading Producer of Wheat WASHINGTON, May 6?Russia ' 'J'- nm. again is me worms icaume ducer of wheat. Figures supporting1 that unsuspected and highly significant statement were expected today to be released about May 20 by the United States department of agriculture. It was said that Russian production for 1930 likely would be announced at 1,097,000,000 bushels, which is 246,000,000 bushels more than was produced by the United States?wheat growing champion since Russia left the export picture during the war. That figure would show Russia to have exceeded her greatest production mark since she dominated the world export trade. That mark, established in 1913, credited Russia with a production of 1,028,000,000 bushels. The significance of the situation, market experts said, was that it might present to the international wheat conference in London on May 19 the question of re-allocating world wheat areas. During the war, and for several years after, great expansion of wheat acreage occurred in the United States, Canada, Argentina, India and Australia to make up for the deficiency in Europe. The non-European countries, however, did not reduce production as it increased in Europe after the war, and in 1930 produced 509,000,000 bushels more than in 1913 when Europe was fairly able to feed itself. The result was that nonEuropean countries, now wrestling with the worst world market in a century, had a surplus last year of 364,000,000 bushels. ' i * *.- W ^ ' * xtz irmt N, N.

Hearings To Be Held On Ballot Impounding RALEIGH, May 6.?Impounding of the Bailey-Pritchard senatorial election ballot boxes for the United States senate subcommittee investigating the contest of George M. Pritchard, defeated Republican candidate, tonight had developed into a legal battle between the state and federal courts. The state's three federal district judges who issued orders for United States marshals to seize the ballots on petition of the senate subcommittee today granted the state dates for hearings on motions to intervene.

E. B. Jeffress of Greensboro, president of the Greensboro News Company, publisher of the Greensboro Daily News and Greensboro Record, Representative from Guilford county, who carried a large share of the fight for the new road act, was named chairman. The other six members of the commission are: James H. Clark of Bladen county; N. L. Steadman of Halifax county; T. L. Bland of Wake; James L. McNair of Scotland; C. A. Cannon of Cabarrus, and Will W. Neal of McDowell. Leslie R. Ames, former State - * * * ? nignway engineer, wm uc aypuuned chief engineer, Governor Gardner stated. Mr. Ames served under Frank Page while he was chairman of the commission. A representative of the United States Bureau of Public Roads is in Raleigh now assisting in setting up a plan of operation for the new road program which gives the State supervision of all county highways. The appointment occasioned little surprise, all having been generally predicted for several weeks. Mr. McNair is the only member of the old commission to be retained. Mr. Bland is the Republican member. The members of the commission will represent the State at large. All districts were abolished by the new act. &wn 8, 1931 SELECTS SITE FOR DREWRY SCHOOL Local Committee Unable To Choose Location; Board Of Education Decides VISIT SCHOOL AT WISE The Board of Education will locate the new Drewry school building immediately beyond the Bullcck residence, according to information released from the office of the superintendent of schools at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon when scaled votes were opened. Unable to agree on a site, the Drewry school committee asked board of education to aid them in the selection. Meeting on Monday this committee went over several sites proposed and made their choice through sealed ballots. When these ballots were opened yesterday it was revealed that the Bullock site was the first choice, Bellamy land second, and a site east of the old building third. The Bullock site is located about a half mile north of the old school which was destroyed several weeks ago by fire. Upon this site will be erected, if contemplated plans are carried out, a modern brick building, with heat, lights and running water, to care for such grades as the State may assign to this school. Contract for the building is to be let the first Monday in June, Superintendent Allen said yesterday. The members of the schcol board also visited the Warren County Training School and found work on the main building there pro1 gressing favorably. The old build ing there was destroyed by the tornado early this year. The board ordered that Macon citizens using water from the school be required to pay arrearage in charges at once. Otherwise this source of water will be cut off on Monday. Other matters, in addition to reorganization of the board, were of a routine nature. Nevada's New Six Weeks Divorce Law Functions Smoothly RENO, NEV., May 4.?Nevada's new six-week divorce law functioned smoothly and rapidly in two Reno district courts today, the judges handing down 83 decrees. Attorneys, the courts, the .dissatisfied litigants were prepared to aid in the announced intention to hand down a divorce in each court .every ten minutes. Many of the cases were disposed of in three of four minutes. Today was the first time for hearings on the suits filed under the six-week residence clause. It was impossible for reporters to inspect the judgment rolls of the many cases, and unless press representatives sat in the court rooms and listened intently to each case, it was impossible to tell from what states the parties came. While another rush of cases for filing was expected today, only 17 new actions had been started late this afternoon. The register of actions however, was much in demand, for the clerk had to enter in this volume all of the decrees granted and press correspondents had just as difficult a time looking at this book as they did last Saturday. The recipient of the first decree today, Elsie M. Michaelis, became a bride again two hours after the ink had dried on her decrees. Two other women who received decrees also were married during the day. Missionary Conference To Be Held Littleton The Weldon District Conference of Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist church will be held in Littleton on Friday, May 15. The program opens at 10 o'clock. All ladies of the Methodist churches of this district are urged to attend and to bring a box lunch. Miss Elizabeth Lamb of Fayetteville and Miss Uline Smith, a missionary to Korea, will be the principal speakers. The plans of the recent annual oonference will be given out also.

Clerk of Warren county Superior Court, was reported late yesterday as being much improved. He is expected to be able to leave his room , within a week or ten days, it is said. Mr. Newell suffered a heart at- sii tack while eating breakfast as his re home at Oakville on Monday, and ve remained unconscious for several cc nours. tils condition since rues- ps day has been gradually improving, l. d( Federal Officers Nab d; Two White Men P< la Roger Collins and Will Gupton, of white men of the Centerville neigh- p< borhood, were carried to the Vance in county jail by Federal officers Wed- m nesday after they had been found hi guilty of manufacturing booze by Federal Commissioner J.

Under the order passed Monday ie land sales will be advertised iring August and sold on the first onday in September. Members of ie board said they realized that iere would be little opportunity of rmers receiving any money at that ite, but said if crops looked omising it was possibly that many >uld borrow money for the short eriod intervening. Meanwhile with only 67 per cent ' taxes paid in, school teachers i several sections have not been lid for the past two months' serce and several of the road boards ave a deficit. In view of this fact ie board asks that all citizens pay leir taxes as soon as possible, that ie hardship imposed upon the aunty in trying to aid unfortunate tizens be mitigated as much as Dssible. Beginning In January a 1 per cent enalty was added on all unpaid ixes. This increased 1 per cent a lonth until May when the costs ad mounted to 4 per cent.
