M rtiiu v/uc ncgru Face Judge Taylor White man composed three of the four cases tried in Recorder's court Monday morning before Judge W. W. Taylor, and the fourth bill of indictment was against a negro who will not be in this county again within a year?that is, if he wants to escape arrest. This negro defendant, Herman Dural, was charged with transporting whiskey. He was arrested by Officer Snipss in a room with a negro woman in a compromising situation which he claimed came about from trying to take one of the bottles of liquor from her. He said he came here from South Hill, and Judge Taylor sentenced him to twelve months on the roads, capias to issue if found in Warren 24 hours from 11 o'clock Monday morning. The negro left the court house at once. Robert Edwards, filling station operator, was found guilty of assaulting George Roberson, employee of the Imperial theatre, with a crank handle. He was fined $5 and the court costs. Slapping his wife twice and knocking her down once with his fist cost Walter Tucker $5 and costs of the court. He did not deny the charge of assault which was testified to court by his wife who said that she was not going to live with him any longer. Judge Taylor also gave Tucker a two months jail sentence, suspended provided the fine and costs are paid. John Hall was found guilty of possession of whiskey and fined $2 and costs. Rumors of Homicide Prove to Be False Rumors circulated over Warren that Mrs. Norman Gholson of Norlina is under a $5000 bond for fatally injuring Miss Grace Ross in ian automobile accident near Kittrell last Thursday night are without foundation. Miss Ross has left the hospital at Henderson where she was carried by Mrs. Gholson following the accident, and it is reported that she is recovering rapidly. Miss Ross' sister, Mrs. Eva Rose Phillips, who was with her at the time and who was slightly injured is also out of danger, it was stated in Henderson yesterday. According to available information Mrs. Gholson was driving towards Raleigh and there was a truck on each side of the road at the bottom of a hill. Near one of the trucks the car driven by Mrs. Phillips and Miss Ross was parked and the two women were fixing a puncture. As Mrs. Gholson started to pass, she said they stepped in front of her car. Miss Ross received a fractured skull and Mrs. Phillips was slightly injured. Mrs. Gholson stopped immediately and carried both of the women to a hospital in Henderson. School Janitor Nabbed With Bag of Liquor Jim Smith, the janitor of John Graham high school, was arrested Wednesday afternoon a few miles from town with a bag of liquor on his back. Two white men seen at a still and another negro who was with Smith at the time he was captured escaped arrest. The arrest was made by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell and John Cary Davis, prohibition enforcement officer for Warren. The two officers were searching for a still on Hudgins creek and became separated. Officer Davis found the still and saw two white men and two negroes. He then located Sheriff Pinnell and when the two of them returned to the scene of the distillers a few moments later, the men had left. Smith was seen with another negro coming from in the direction of the booze outfit with a bag over his shoulder. As the officers approached, both men fled, but Smith failed to make his escape. The bag contained several fruit jars of liquor. Following his arrest he was placed in the Warren county jail. The still, which was a 60-gallon copper outfit, was destroyed by the | officers. MOVE TO WARRENTON Mrs. Earl Kinsey and family of Bancroft, Iowa, have joined Mr. Kinsey who has been here for several months associated with his brother, Mr. Loyd Kinsey, in the textile business, and will make their home in the residence formerly oc cupied by Mr. Mullen in north Warrenton.

R. Frazier, field representative. Mr. Frazier said that Mr. Martin did fine and his essay made a good shewing, but that this was his first year while his opponents had the benefits of several similar matches All the essays were good, according to a report from a representative of the State association, which reads: "In our contest in Rocky Mount Friday there was not a single one cif the six essays recited that would not have taken first place in our first State contest. I have never in any undertaking noted such great progress as has been made in the essay contest this year." Howard Williams, representing Bunn's school in Franklin county, was the winner in the contest. Unveil Tablet To Mrs. Davis' Memory LOUISBURG, June 9?Impressive memorial services were conducted Sunday at Prospect Methodist church, about four miles south of Louisburg, when a marble tablet was dedicated in memory of Mrs. Louisa Hill Davis, wife of Matthew S. Davis. The services were conducted by Rev. A. L. Thompson, pastor of the church, who paid tribute to Mrs. Davis and her husband to whom a tablet had been dedicated previously. Rev A. D. Wilcox, pastor of the Louisburg Methodist church, delivered the memorial sermon. Dr. Wilcox recalled that many years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Davis were guiding Louisburg College, Mrs. Davis each Sunday went from Louisburg to Prospect church to teach a class. The tablet was placed in the walls of the church next to that honoring the husband and bore the following inscription: "Louisa Hill, wife of Matthew S. Davis, 1836-1931, 'With long life will I satisfy thee and show thee my Salvation.'" A large number of people were present at the serviftes and a number of the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. M. S.

I He left Monday morning of last t i week with Veterans Charlie Riggan E and JoseDh Shearin and returned !s Sunday morning. His two Warren ? county comrades returned later in r th? week. t When asked did Mr. Riggan do t any dancing this year. Mr. Allen replied, "I guess so; there were dances and I expect that he was right there. But I don't know; I stayed with the boys for tw-d days and then told them that they had their tickets in their pockets and cculd come home when they pleased, that I was going to look for some of my relatives." Mr. Allen said that they were ] relatives that he had never seen but he located them and they were in fine health. Apparently he enjoyed being with his kin as much as he did the reunion.

The full meaning of the law, which will have far-reaching effects in the county, according to Mr. Allen, will not be known until late summer, but many of its effects are already apparent. No High School At Wise Wise high school, the oldest high school in the county, will no longer be operated as a high school, instead it will only teach the first eight grades. One teacher schools at Epworth and Metallia will be abolished. Only eight grades wiU be taught at Drewry. The number of teachers in the Vaughan school will be reduced from four to two, end the number of grades will be reduced to as many as can be handled by two teachers, four or five, depending upon the number of pu piis to be taught. Schools will be consolidated. The State will re-route the trucks according to physical facilities of the schools. District lines will be disregarded. Cause for Change The oauses for these radical changes in the operation of the schools, as set forth by Superintendent Allen, is the laws requirement that the cost of operating the six-months term be reduced 20 per cent. Last year it cost the State and the counties $20,500,000 to operate the six-months' school term The new law,, recognizing the need for the strictest economy, requires that this be done on the sum of $17,000,000. The legislature set forth the chief items of economy to affect this reduction as follows: A reduction of 10 percent in teachers' salaries; a reduction in principals' salaries; a reduction in the number df teachers, by increasing their load; the elimination of Die salaiies of city superintendents, and of non-teaching principals in f bools of less than 50 teachers; making it unlawful to operate small schools, elementary or high scnoois 01 i ewer man ou pupns average daily attendance; establishing a State purchasing and contracting agent; giving first and special attention to school truck roads when the State takes over the roads from the counties July 1; the Beard of Equalization will re-route trucks without regard tot any district lines whatsoever, to ef(Continued on Page 8) Commissioners To Sit As Board Of Review Monday Warren county board of commissioners will sit cn Monday in the courthouse at Warrenton as a board af equalization of review to hear complaint of property owners whose /alues have been incerased accordng to announcement made this ,veek by S.
