"Such crops must be stored in bonded warehouses and fully covered by insurance.

Holiday Spirit Rules Here Thanksgiving With boys and girls rolling into town from their schools, and those who spend their time here talking ninnc for levins' town to attend the I"*"*" ? o ? -- football game at Chapel Hill tomor_ row or to follow nimrod over hill and dale In quest of game, the Thanksgiving spirit is beginning to creep into the atmpsphere as we go to press and the shadows of night descend. With the closing of stores and banks here for the holiday managers and employees are confronted with a day's vacation, and a vacation means action of some kind to most people who are confronted with the daily grind. The Carolina-Virginia football game at Chapel Hill will no doubt be witnessed by many from Warrenton and the ccunty, but there are those who do not care far football, to say nothing of those who have become cramped by the socalled "tight times," and those of that class will perhaps spend the day cn the golf course, or hunting, or lounging around home before and after a big dinner. Among those who have been seen here from college are Miss Fannie House Scoggin of Greensboro Col lege, Miss Jane Parker of Meredith College, Miss Caterine Moseley of Meredith College. Others who are expected here are the Misses Caroline Ward and Elizabeth Boyd of Peace College, Katherine Arlington, who is in Washington taking a secretarial course, Katherine Scoggin of St. Mary's, Barker Williams, Alfred Williams, Tom Holt of Chap, el Hill, Frank Brown Allen and William Dameron of Duke University.

' Smi IDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1931 LITTLE INTEREST IN CASES MONDAY Alleged Violator of Prohibit tion Laws Asks For Trial By Jury; Continued TERRY GOES TO ROADS Arthur Davis, negro facing a charge of manufacturing whiskey as a result of an arrest made by special prohibition enforcement officers, will be tsied in recorder's court on Monday morning before a jury. The case was scheduled for trial this | week, but when Julius Banzet, at-i torney for the defendant, requested a jury trial it was necessary to postpone action until next week when the negro's fate will be in the hands of twelve Warren county citizens. Little interest was attached to cases tried before Recorder W. W. i Taylor on Monday morning. Assault larceny and assault with deadly weapon composed the bills of indictment that were presented by Solicitor Daniels before the bar of justice. Stephen Terry, Warrenton negro who became boisterous at a church social and stabbed James Moss when the latter left his girl in the house and came outside to muffle the profanity that was penetrating the night air, was fined $15.00 and cost and given a six months jail sentence, assigned to work the roads. The latter sentence was suspended upon. the condition that the fine and costs be paid. Failing to meet these terms, the negro was sent to the roads. Unable to raise sufficient funds to take care of a $5.00 fine plus cour.t casts, Virgie Clements will have to serve two months in jail and on the roads as the result of an assault charge. When fcund guilty, Judge Taylor released the negro provided he pay the fine and costs, but he was unable to come forward with the cash, so became a free State laborer.

Highway Officials Launch Campaign Against Reckless With auto accidents on the increase in the state and winter's add. ed perils fcr the motorist not far away, state highway officials are launching a vigorous program against carelessness on the part of the driver and the use of defective equipment. Responsibility for the success of the campaign is being placed upon the shoulders of the owners and drivers of motor vehicles and the state highway patrol. Reminding the public that 777 persons lost their lives in North Carolina as a result of auto accidents last year and that the death rate is still mounting, E. B. Jeffress, chairman of the highway commission, seeks the cooperation of the public to lessen mishaps. He said, "each year, as service is required of the automobile, certain tests and adjustments become necessary. Accident, other than those caused by reckless driving, come about chiefly as a result of blinding headlights, faulty brakes, imperfections in the steering mechanism, and worm out tires. These deficiencies must be remedied just as the reckless driver must be ruled from the I highway." Alertness on the part of highway patrolmen in detecting imperfect and worn out equipment is being called for by Captain Farmer, head of the state highway patrol. Blinding headlights being recognized by highway authorities as one of the main causes of accidents, the attention of the highway patrolmen is being directed toward a check-up on the official headlight testing stations. Many new stations have been designated at strategic points throughout the state for the convenience of the motorists. Magician, 80, Proud | Of His Baby Boy I GREAT BEND, Kan., Nov. 24.? Charles (Uncle) Andress, 80, wealthy retired circus man and magician, is "the proudest man in the world" because he is the father of an eight and one-half pcund boy. "Only one in sixty-five men of 80 i years marry women of 27 and live I happily." he said. "And not one out of 200 of these maxriages are blessed with children. Virgie and I have broken both records.'' Virgie, Uncle Charley's wife, is the former Virginia Pritchard, 27, The couple were married a year ago. ? l it =sw? ipf? : -? ; P * * ' ' Deranged Man Is Forced To Ride At Point of A Pistol A mentally deranged negro was forced to ride on the bumper of an automobile from Embro to Warrenton Sunday when he jumped on the car of Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker of . Rocky Mount. ' Arriving here with the accoster under the point of a gun, the Rocky Mount man called for the police and explained that he had forced the negro to accompany him to town in the foirward Dosition after he had jumped on the running board of his car, for what he took to be a hold-up job. Officer Drake responded to the call and locked the negro up until he was carried back to the county home where he has been an inmate for a number of years. Arthur Powell, who assists Mrs. W. T. Powell in running the institution for the feeble minded, said that the negro was harmless and not kept in solitary confinement and that he thought the negro's reason for jumping on the automobile of the Rocky Mount couple was that he thought the car was his (Mr. Powell's) car.
