The arrest was made at the Vance county capital after Sheriff Pinnell telephoned officials of the law there to arrest Harvey Brown if he was seen in Henderson with a new pair of shoes. The shiny footwear caught the eyes of one cf the Henderson officers and Brown was arrested and carried to jail to await Sheriff Pinnell's call. When the Warren county sheriff reached Henderson he found Brown in the lock-up but his feet were 1 tfarbed in weather-worn footwear. * Sheriff Pinnell pointed out this fact 1 to the Henderson officer, who ad- " jmitted the truth of the statement [but was positive that he was wear- ( line new shoes when the arrest was ; made. Investigation revealed that Brown ( hiad swapped shoes with another 1 prisoner while in jail. He said that 5 he did this because his feet hurt ( him. The shoes were recovered, j Brought before Magistrate W. C. 1 Ellington for a hearing, Brown was * found guilty of entering the store 1 when the number on the shoes tallied with the number on the box from which they had been taken. The box was left in Mrs. Ellis' store as well as Brown's old shoes. He made the change while committing the robbery. 3 Overalls, a shirt, cigarettes and < other items were also stolen, but i they were not found on the back or in the pockets of the clothes the 3 defendant wore. 1 ?

C., FRIDAY,AF Man Found Guilty Of Stealing Bag Of Fertilizer From Hall Two cases?one criminal and the other civil?were heard by Judge Taylor in Recorder's court on Monday morning. Walter Jones, 52-ye|ar-old negro of Warrenton, figured in the criminal matter and Ike L. Davis was the defendant in the civil case, with the Dameron Supply Co., as plaintiff. A verdict of guilty was pronounced in both indictments. Jones became tangled in the toils of law when a bag of fertilizer wnicti naa Been scoien irom n. w. Hall's prizei house tfas found in an out-hcuse on his premises. Mr. Hall and. Chief M. M. Drake were led to Jones' house by a small trail of fertilizer which had leaked through a snag in the bag. The defendant denied taking the < stolen property, and :through his 1 council, the Banzet Brothers, en- 1 deavored to convince the court that the fertilizer was left there by 1 some one else, by bringing out the : fact that there was a path that led from the prize house by the Jones' home, that this path was use by 1 many people, and tljat the thief, for some unknown reason, had pro- ' bably become frightened after taking the fertilizer and had left the ; bag at the home of Jones. ] The defendant was given a good : reputation by Fred Moseley( C. C. Hunter, H. A. Moseley and others, ! John Powell said that; Jones' repu- < tation was not so good, and that ' he had had an occasion to order 1 him from his premises. Attorneys for the defendant objected to him 1 telling the circumstances of ordering Jones off his property on the grounds that it had no bearing on t the present case, but had Mr. Powell been allowed to testify he would have probably told that one night he heard some one at his home, and thought that it was a burglar attempting to enter his residence, but on investigation found that it was Jones attempting to steal wood, and that he ordered him away. After the evidence and speeches oy Julius Banzet and Solicitor Cromwell Daniel, Judge Taylor pronounced a decision of guilty and ordered that the defendant pay $10 and costs. Swinging from criminal to civil procedure, Judge Taylor gave the Dameron Supply Co., authority to sell a mule, cow and other property of Ike L. Davis in order to collect ?238.52 which the defendant owed ;he plaintiff for advances and supplies granted him. Davis was also .axed with the costs in the action. Miss Leach Makes Appeal For Seed An appeal for seed to be distributed among the poor is again sounded this week by Miss Lucy I. ] Leach, welfare officer. Miss Leach 1 said that if seed are not given to those who call at her office she Joes net know what will become 01 ;hem this fall, for the government, ^ State, and county have no funds to v contribute to the unfortunate this ^ fall.

Pelts, well-known citizen of the Warren Plains section, remarked to a representative of this newspaper a few days ago. Mr. Felts said that he did not wish to run unless he was sure that he would get the nomination, explaining that he had no desire to put the county to the expense of a second primary. The platform of the Warren Plains citizen, as stated, is to give everybody everything they want, with a big mass meeting to let him knew what they desire. COLONEL WILLIAM T. FELTS WOULD HATE TO MISS BY HAIR The deliberations of Colonel William T. Felts relative 'to entering the race for the position of Member of the House of Representatives sails to mind an incident that happened in the local barbershop several months ago. The Warren Plains citizen was perched in a barber's chair. His audience consisted of the carbers and about a dozen patrons. "Suppose," said Colonel William r. Felts, "that I should live the best life that I could. There would be nany things thait I wanted to do, cut would not because I thought it was a sin. I would want a drink of whiskey, maybe, but my conscience would say that was wrong, and Ihere are other sins of the flesh ;hat I might try, but as I want to ;o to heaven I give them up. Then cne day I will die and go up to ,he pearly gates to be greeted by 3t. Peter. "Then suppose St. Peter would ay, 'Billy, ycu did mighty well; you cretty near made it, but you haven't jot quite enough.' "That," concluded Colonel Wiliam T. Felts, "would sho be a jiece of hard luck with me giving ip so much here."

Af- ? ter Mr. Goerch's talk they stepped to the rostrum as their names were called by Bill Early, school principal, and were presented with their diplomas. Their scjiocfl cjareer at Littleton came to a close with the singing of the class song, after which the mass cf humanity which had remained motionless for a little better than an hour and a half shuffled out of the building with 'smiling faces and praising words for the exercises. The speaker of the evening was ably presented by Joseph P. Pippen, prominent attorney of Littleton, as North Carolina's humorist, perhaps the best known newspaper man in the State and as a magazine writer. Mr. Pippen was granted the honor of presenting Mr. Goerch by Principal Early.

Results of the meeting were characterized by members of the board following the meeting as being 'highly satisfactory." There was on deposit in the Bank of Warren $43,300.09 of county funds when it closed its doors on December 23, 1932. These funds were protected by securities and surety bond. In the settlement made Tuesday two notes due the bank by the county, totaling $7,152.50, were used as an offset on the account. The bending company agreed to pay $5,158.57. State bonds and other securities turned over to the board balanced the account without a penny lost to the county, according to official records carried on the minute books. Not only did the county receive its entire principal, but accrued Interest as well, the records show. Large Saving Is Affected As Result Of State Operation _____ Nearly $4,000,000 have been saved during the past year, the first under State operation, in the cost of the six months constitutional school term, based on a cost of approximately $22,500,000 for the year 193031, as compared with $19,183,642.83 judgeted for 1931-32, some cf which will be saved, according to figures innounced by LeRoy Martin, secretary of the State Bord of Equalization. The 10 per cent cut In salaries iccouijts for $1,300,000 of the reduction, while the remainder results from reductions in numbers of teachers paid extra from county ind local funds and savings through ill of the operating costs of the Dublic schools, Mr. Martin's figures show. Figures bv counties show that the iotal expenditures from county and State funds for the public school six months period In 1930-31 was 521,642,765.62, in addtition to funds from lccal district levies used in neeting operating costs of the six nonths term. Based on the $1,367,>91.58 shown in the present year budgets, Mr. Martin places a conservative for last year at $900,000 'rom local tax levies, which estinate would show a total cost of ipproximately $22,500,000 for the six months term in 1930-31. The total so far allotted from State and Federal funds for 193112 is now $15,958,529.16, which Mr. Martin estimates will reach $10,>00,000 when all allotments are completed, including audits. The counsies and local districts budgeted 53,225,103.67 from county and local evies to supplement the State funds, of which $1,858,012.09 is ierived from county-wide ad vaorem levies, fines, forfeitures, dog ;ax and part of poll tax levies, and >1,367,091.58 is expected to be derived from local district levies for .931-32 six month costs Although the amounts budgeted or 1931-32 show a decrease in cost >f only $3,300,000, the actual, rather han the budgeted, expenditures, vill bring this decrease in cost to learly $4,000,000, Mr. Martin estinates. Warren county spent $153,799.66 in the six months term for 1930-31, s compared with $127,141.43 bud;eted for this year, including $118,30.37 in State and Federal funds, md $8,511.06 in county and local unds, it is shown.
