N. Boyd Named Chairman Warren County Red Cross W. N. Boyd was unanimously elected chairman of the Warren county chapter of the American Red Cross at a called meeting held in the home of Mrs. Katherine P. Arrington on last Friday afternoon. Mr. Boyd succeeds Mrs. Arrington who has served as county chairman, I with the exception of a few months when she was in Europe, since the organization was formed here during the war. After Mrs. Arrington announced that the purpose of the meeting was for the election of officers, she tendered her resignation as chairman of the chapter, stating that her inability to be In the count/ only a small part of the year seemed to make it wise that she take this step. She then called on Miss Kersey, national representative, for any statement that she wished to make in explaining the present situation. Miss Kersey stated that while plans were not yet complete, new relief projects in this county were being contemplated which, if carried out, would make it imperative that the chairman of the county 5 chapter be a man who would be in the county and constantly subject to call, wherefore she regretfully found it necessary to advise that Mrs. Arrington's resignation be accepted. J. Edward Allen, treasurer, was then asked to take the chair. C. R. Rodwell expressed regret that Mrs. Arrington found it necessary to give up the post as county chairman, recalling that it was largely through her efforts that the Red Cross chapter has been kept alive throughout the years since the close of the war, and that the membership drives have been consistently successful. He moved that her resignation be accepted and that the office of chairman emeritus be created that this honor be coupled with Mrs. Arrington's name. It was moved that a committee be appointed to incorporate these sentiments, as expressed by Mr. Rodwell, in the form of a resolution. The motion prevailed. Tlio reeiomfttinn nf Mrs. J. E. i Rooker as vice chairman was rej voted and she was unanimously reflected, as were the secretary and treasurer. Expressions of appreciation on the part of the chapter were heard for the service rendered by C. A. Tucker, Mrs. J. E. Rooker, Mrs. R. T. Watson and their co-workers in the recent drought relief vork. Lynwood Wrenn Is Buried At Fairview Funeral services for Lynwocd Wrenn were conducted yesterday " afternoon at 2 o'clock by the Rfev R.

' : ' =- c 29, 1931 ^ ASSEMBLY ENDS LONG SESSION Legislature Adjourns at 9:49 on Wednesday Night As Members Join In Song NO BONUS BILL PASSED RALEIGH, May 28.?To the accompaniment of the throated strains of "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again" the longest session of the General Assembly in the history of the State, adjourned sine lie at exactly 9:49 o'clock last night. President Fountain of the Senate and Speaker Smith of the House sounded the death knell with simultaneously resounding gavels as members and spectators sung and cheered in a gcod natured disorderly finale to the most hectic session of this century. The Legislators quit in violation 3f the Constitutional requirement that they redistrict the Senate and reapportion the House upon the ;asis of the last census, and the lying hours cf the Assembly were featured by an effort to repeal a sw passed early in the session to prevent employment of children jnder 16 years of age in hazardous occupations. This repealer, backed jy industrial interests, passed the House by a vote of 44 to 20, but failed in the Senate. Quitting on its 141st day, five lays in excess of the previous endurance record established by the Reconstruction Legislature of 1868'9, the Assembly barely exceeded fhe record of bills and resolutions passed last session although that session ran only 70 days and failed to attain the record of the 1927 session, which lasted only 64 days, rhis Legislature enacted 1,206 bills >nd resolutions, while the 1927 recDrd was 1,246, and that of 1929 was 1,111. For the first time in the memory )f man, no general employee's bonus bill was introduced on the last Jay, although the Senate did start ;wo for individuals which the House promptly killed. Big Appropriation Bill As final passage in the Senate of he revenue bill and its enactments vere formalities after the 120-day aattle over it, the biggest business jefore the assembly on its last day Evas the passage of the apprclpria;ions bill, allotting approximately >57,000,000 to State institutions, vhich now include the public school ind departments. The amount is the largest in the iiistory of the State despite drastic :uts for both maintenance and personnel. In this total however, is reflected $9,000,000 to be raised by ;he 15-cent ad valorem levy for public schools, as the entire school maintenance fund is included. Although the Assembly failed to entirely relieve property of the burlen of the six months schools, it lid provide substantial tax relief ;hrough its road and school legisation, and despite the general impression gained from its long rev:nue deadlock that it had accomDlished little, the 1931 Assembly lid: Adopt the principle of the MacLean school law providing for state nstead of county operation of the six months schools.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 22 JURY DISAGREES IN BROWN CASE Mistrial Ordered After Jury Had Deliberated More Than 24 Hours OVER $100,000 INVOLVED A contested will envolving an estate of more than $100,000 has this week brought forth the hardest fought legal battle of the May term of Superior court, with outstanding members of the legal fraternity on each side and with approximately 100 witnesses taking the stand during the two and one half days in which evidence has been 'T /\v*l tf vnfiilf i *> n mis U11C1CU, V/llljf VAJ ICOUib All OJ 11UOtrial when the jury was unable to agree after more than 24 hours of deliberation. Byron Brown, wealthiest negro of Warren county, died on January 1, 1930, leaving a will in which the bulk of his estate was left to his son, Grover C. Brown. Claiming that their father was not mentally capable of making a will at the time when he bequeathed his property, other members of his family are seeking to have the will broken. The defense was represented by Julius Banzet of Warrenton, George Green of Weldon, Bennett Perry of Henderson and Bob Kittrell of Henderson. Plaintiff's attorneys were Kerr & Kerr of Warrenton and Scarborough & Yarborough of Louisburg. Every inch of legal ground was hard fought with both sides noting exceptions from the rulings of Judge hi. H. uranmer. Monday and Tuesday the propaunders of the will put witness after witness on the stand to testify as to the mental condition of Byron Brown during 1924 when the will was written and in 1927 and in 1929 when two codicils were written. These witnesses were leading business men of Henderson and Warrenton who had known the deceased for years and who testify that in their opinion he was of unusual sound mind for a man of his age and race, and gave as their opinion that he knew wljat property he owned and the consequences of his acts, as well as the natural objects of his care when the will and codicil were drawn. The caveators witnesses were members of Byron Brown's family and near neighbors of both races who testified that in 1913 Byron Brown suffered a stroke of paralysis and that since that time had suffered other attacks and that following these strokes his health and mind began to give way and that in their opinion he did not have sufficient mentality to know what he was doing at the time he drew the will and the two codicils. Caveators' witnesses further testified that Byron Brown had stated on several occasions that he intended to treat all his children alike when he bequeathed his property, and that all held equal places in his heart. The caveators contended that this was the intention of the deceased, but that he did not know the extent of his wealth and therefore in leaving Grover Brown the residue of his estate, which totalled around $100,000, that he did not know what he was doing. They offered as evidence the taxbooks of the county in which the deceased bad only listed a few thousand dollars of real estate, and the estimate of $40,000 put upon the estate by A. A. Bunn, collector, as evidence of their contentions. The defense held that the amount of property listed was no indication of the amount of property which ;he deceased knew he had, and Mr. Onvivi nni'l 4- V? /-I 4- 4-Vin ni*"V? /vf 4AA AAA duxhx cam \jkich\j 111c ouixi ui vxv,uuu placed upon the estate, was merely dene to simplify inheritance taxes, as this tax was based upon inventory, and it was much easier to increase the amount due the State that in was to decrease it in the event that the estimate was made too high. Mr. Bunn was the attorney of Byron Brown and drew both will and codicils. He stated to the court that the deceased told him at the time of drawing the will, after he tiad pointed out to the deceased ;he difference in amount bequeathed Grover and the other members af the family, that he had worked aard for his property, stinted and ienied himself in his efforts to create an estate; that in his Opinion that Grover of all his children ivould best preserve his estate, and for that reason he was leaving him ;he bulk of his property. The jury in re the will of Byron Brown was impanelled on Monday norning. Judge Cranmer completed lis charge at 2:35 on Wednesday ifternoon after th#e lawyer* had (Continued on page 8)
