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.

icers are seeking a young Char- n
otte woman thought to be a Mrs. w
'ry on a hit and run charge grow- jr
ng out of a serious automobile ac- ei
ident on North Main Street here w
ite Tuesday afternoon. A car driv- jr
n by the young woman headed Sl
lorth collided with a car driven by fT
Irs. Joseph C. Powell of Warren- S{
on and caused the Warrenton car
o turn over and injure Mrs. Powell r
nd her three small children. Mrs. '
'owell sustained a broken arm and
uts and bruises and the two smallr
children were bruised and cut
lightly. i0
The accident happened witnesses te
aid when the sars met t>nd the p;
'harlotte woman pulled to the left tl
f the road making a head on col- h
ision. Both cars were almost com- ai
letely demolished and the Warren- flan

ter way in the direction of Win- Cvton-Salem
without offering asjist- a
,r.ce in any manner or even as- ai
prtaining the extent of Mrs. Pow- n.

Officers claim that in the light h;
f the Charlotte woman's actions n

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.

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. ?

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

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.
