Limer Post To Make , 1 Drive For Members * i "Now that the Legionnaries of all ii the States have entrusted the lead- c ership of the American Legion to Is North Carolina's own Henry L. e Stevens, National Commander, they e are looking to see whether North I Carolina can set the pace ejp?ected * by tiie Legionnaires of the nation," t J. M. Caldwell, State Adjutant of a the American Legion, writes Harold i R. Skillman, Adjutant of Limer c Post 25, in urging that the local e chapter push forward with its 1932 s membership drive. "By speedy, complete 1932 membership renewals or re-enrollment, between new and November 11, the i Legionnaires of North Carolina can ? show their appreciation to the Legionnaires of the nation for their f having given North Carolina the *( greatest honor of the Legion, tne National Commandership." the ^ State Adjutant emphasizes. In pointing out that Limer Post s was one of the few posts in the 8 State to have secured over 50 per- c cent of its renewals in the mem- e bership drive prior to October 10, Mr. Skillman said that the Warren o county chapter was making every t effort to co-operate with the State e organization in going over the top c in the membership drive before the v 20th of this month and that after this was done that Limer Post would be in a position to throw its support I behind local organizations for work in this county.

Telegraphone May Be Used In Homes CHICAGO.?Every home can use a telegraphone, an invention which will be displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry, founded by Julius Rosenwald. The instrument, invented by Poulsen of Copenhagen in 1900, has been given the museum by William Dubilier of New York. The telegraphone takes calls in the absence of its owner. It replies to calls that nobody's home, but that it will take any messages. The vocal registration is simply a reproduction of the voice, similar to a dictaphone. The phone then switches to a recording setup and takes down the message of the caller. When the owner returns, he switches on the reproducing device and hears messages received in his absence. A German is manufacturing the device, which may come into general use when it can be made more inexpensively than at present. Removes Dust; Century Old Clock Keeps Time BELFAST, N. Y.?The wooden cogs in a century old clock were spinning at full tilt here today. Jerome F. Gleason, reclaimed the timepiece, which was built in 1822, - ?- r- ?J AVA from attic dust, tie xouuu mc wheels jammed with dust and soot and the face broken. A few hours of tinkering put it in shape, and now, Gleason says, j|t "kq?ps railroad time." i Mr. and Mrs. Jerman Walker hnd little daughter and Miss Sue Harris have returned after spending several days in Charlotte and Winston-Salem. While in Charlotte they 'attended the Air Pageant. # m'ou8"u'" New Jersey Man { Tells of Trip Jo * Warren County "After supper at Petersburg we proceeded to Warrenton, North ( Carolina, arriving about 10 o'clock," * Louis G. Beers writes in the October 4 issue of the Trenton, N. J.. Sunday Times telling of a trip I through historical sections of Virginia and North Carolina, much of which is devoted to a visit to Mont- d morenci in Warren county, with t comment on other places of inter- e est in the county. t ? ^ Mr. Beers, who arrived at Warrenton with his wife and son. on ^ the night of September 15, goes on to relate: c Warrenton is the county seat of i Warren County, named after Gen- s eral Warren, who was killed in the t Battle of Bunker Hill. The city, lo- j cated a few miles beyond the Vir- s ginia line, is a thriving business \ oenter. Its residents are cultured c and very hospitable. In stage coach b days it attained considerable im- r portance, being a stopping place cn the main route from north to south ( lr, the Episcopal Church, Horace v Greeley and Miss Cheney, a school t teacher from the North, were mar- t ried. ^ "On Wednesday, September 16, i we visited a place of particular per. j scnal interest, a plantation about ? 13 miles away and off the main highway, c "It originally included about 2.000 s acres and the mansion known as < Montmorenci was built in 1835. It c was a fine example of a Southern ] plantation home. It is said that the t interior was paricularly striking, es- ? pecially the woodwork of the par- t Lors, carved mantels and mahogany j. doors. It contained also a spiral mahogany stairway that was very t attractive. A broad porch, extending across the front, was covered ^ by a roof supported by high pillars. . Near the house was a separate building used as a kitchen and , interior of the mansion was not ac- ^ I: ... _.l-i_1 iHaai |h ''in the mansion the wedding of ' Major William H. Polk, of Tennes- 1 see, and Miss Lucy Williams took ! place. Major Polk was United States 1 Minister to Rome and a brother of 5 President Polk. i "Here one could visualize the lux. ( urious life of a Southern planter 1 prior to the Civil War. There are ] many places of historic interest in the vicinity of MontMorenci, par- < ticularly Shocco Springs and Jones f Springs. In former days these were ] fashionable health resorts for peo- i pie from all parts of the South, and thousands spent the Summer in , this section. It no longer attracts , visitors as formerly and the buildings , have fallen into decay. During the j Civil War, the family of General t Robert E. Lee resided for a while , at Jones Springs and a daughter, , Anna Custis Lee, died there. Her grave is in a nearby cemetery. "We returned to Warrenton in ] time for lunch and then proceeded ' across North Carolina to Old Point * Comfort, Va. We passed through a farming section where cotton, tobacco and peanuts are the leading crops. It is now cotton picking time. We could realize why those t interested in raising cotton are not happy. We were informed that only 30 cents per 100 pounds is paid for picking the cotton, and from 100 to 250 pounds is the amount gather- t ed in a day. Cotton including seed, \ is worth about two cents a pound 1 and when the seed is removed it t sells at about six cents a pound. ? t Switzerland Adopts f Fourth Language i ? Geneva, Switzerland.?Switzerland t which already has three official I languages?French. German and c Italian?has just decided to inauige in a fourth. j The lattefl, which is known as "rhetoromanche," or "romanche," is regarded as Switzerland's only native language. It is believed to have been used originally by fugitives i when they sought refuge at the t time of the first Roman kings. a The language is spoken principal- s ly in thg Canton of Grisons, and j especially in the Engadine, although its use also is found in other por- j tions of Switzerland. i The canton of Geneva has just i decided to create a special chair at ; the University of Geneva for furth- ] erjng its study and use. j i MOST OF THE NEWS nl ALL THE TIME . NUMBER 22 SAYS REPORT NOT EXAGGERATION }rand Jury Committee Replies to Report of Superintendent of Schools )ETAILS BROUGHT OUT Asking space for a few words to lefend themselves from a charge hat their report was "very much xagerrated and false," the commit ee from the Grand Juror that reated a furor at October term of :ourt in its report to Judge W. C. larris on the condition of Warren :ounty school trucks and brought i reply last week from J. Edward Ulen, superintendent of schools, itate that there were two capable nechanics in their party, capable of >assing upon the condition of any chool truck, and that the report iras not an exaggeration. Several [etails of the examination are >rought out in the reply of the comnittee which is given below in full: "We of the committee of the l-irand Jury for September Court >ho were asked to give a report on he condition of our county school rucks, would like a few words in lefense of ourselves regarding the eport presented and put in the )aper as being very much exaggerated and false. "We were told to find out what :ondition the school trucks were In, ind present the facts just as we ound them. In our party were two apable mechanics, Messrs. William 3oyce and Henry Fuller, who cerainly should know whether or not i truck is in good condition better han one who does not profess to mow any thing of machinery. "We would like to ask since when )as the State not required lights >n all vehicles driven on the roads? Ve found several of the county rucks without any emergency rakes at all. As we understand the aw there must be an emergency rake on all motor vehicles. ' "We found a truck with a rear (heel in such bad condition the trincipal of the schobl said he was , ttraid for the children to go home ^ || it s to decide whether they were leeded or not. Several of our coun. ;y trucks are obliged to leave home n the winter months when it is lot light enough to travel with safety, and get home after dark at light. (This was told us by a par:nt who has small children who ide on the school truck from the 2mbro section.) "As to the condition of the winlows, floors, etc., we were asked to jive a report on them as they were, lot as they would probably be in i month or so from now. "Mr. Allen's statement is false when he says we reported drivers is being under age. wnat we mu say was that the trucks driven Uj alder men were in much better condition and it would seem advisable to try and secure more responsible drivers for the others. "We feel that we did what was required of us regardless of who iked the report or not or of pubic opinion. "H. M. FULLER, "WILLIAM BOYCE, "H. C. MONTGOMERY." W. C.
