POLK Jntil recently the Warren CounMemorial Library has been able keep abreast of the times by ying the best new books as they re published. It can not do so w, for lack of money. [n -the last issue of the Record, iss Mable Davis suggested a plan remedy this deficiency. It is as Hows: Fifty-Fifty Club A book fund amounting to twenty e dollars a month could be creatto supply new books from May October?the five months inrvening before funds from other urces should become available for at purpose, if fifty persons in. rested in the library will volunir to give fifty cents a month to at end. That plan was uisuuaocu. the library one afternoon and, e half dozen persons present each ,ve It approval and volunteered join the club. I can think of no rger returns for so small an Instment, only $2.50 In all?the Ice of one new novel. In return le has the privilege of reading any of the season's best books. If iu feel inclined to lend a hand id become a member of the Fiftyfty Club you may do so, becoing a charter member on payment fifty cents. This plan should be worked out. it is brought clearly to the atntion of the people, doubtless tere are fifty persons in the Counwho can and will pay to thel brarian at the Library fifty nts a month for the months, May ' October, to establish a book ind. They will be amply repaid i the new books which will apear on the Library shelves. b? IS; rARRENTON, COUNTY OF Politics Growing Hot In Warren As Primary Nears By HOWARD JONES JR. Politics are getting hot in Warren County. The most ardent battle that is raging in the political arena is over the sheriff's office and over the seat in the lower house of the general assembly, however the other candidates for the various offices in the hands of Warren's voters are not missing any opportunities in the vote courting game. Who will be the next sheriff? Who will represent Warren County in the House? Who is going to be register of deeds? ( They are the three questions that are most frequently 'asked by the electorate, and tney are tne 'tnree questions that seem to be the hardest to get consistent and light-giving answers to. W. J. Tinnell is sheriff of Warren county at present. Oscar Williams, former sheriff, is endeavoring to defeat him for that office. Therein lies a hotbed. Jchn S. Davis represented Warren county during the past session of the general assembly. He wants to go back to Raleigh as the county's representative. T. O. Rodwell, senator from Warren and Vance counties at the past session, also wants to represent Warren this time in the lower house. Jack Dowtin, a former representative of Warren, is leaving no stones unturned in an effort to go to the House from this county. There are other candidates for this place, but the clash of these three is what is bringing forth talk. Joe Powell is register of deeds and desires to continue serving the county in this capacity. Tom Gardner also Wants to be register of deeds. Interesting?a matter of conjecture?but no apparent signs of battle. i Back to the sheriff's office, the main issue 'there, or at least the most pronounced issue, is over GVia^eF DinnAii'c fpUnrA to annoint *. u - ? ?E-K Former Sheriff R. E. Dtavis as a deputy or office assistant. Mr. Williams and his friends claim that sheriff Pinnell tricked the former sheriff of Warren county, 'that Mr. Pinnell promised to appoint Mr. Davis, gathering sufficient strength in the form of votes from the former sheriff's friends to be elected, and then appointed some one else. Sheriff Pinnell claims that he expected to appoint Mr. Davis as his assistant and would have done so had it not been for the matter of bond. He claims that his bonding company would not accept the former sheriff. Mr. Williams and his friends claim if what Sheriff Pinnell says is true, that there were other ways that he could have helped him, 'and that all he ever did for the former sheriff was to let him have charge (Continued on Page 8) Case Against Bank Officials Non-Suited Officials of the defunct Farmers and Merchants Bank of Littleton won their case in Halifax County Superior court yesterday when Judge Henry Giady non-suitea tne case charging them with receiving funds knowing the bank to be insolvent. The charges were drawn against William Alfred, Thome, Mack Johnston and Nick Warren. The court room was filled to capacity. Revival Services Well Attended The revival services at the Methodist church this week have been well attened and the preaching by Rev. J. P. Herbert has been of an exceptional quality, the Rev. E. C. Durham, pastor, stated yesterday afternoon. Services are held twice daily, at 11 o'clock in the morning and at 8 o'clock at night. The services will be brought to a close Silnday night' and the public is cordially invited to the remalnging few services,; Rev. Durham said. I Mrs. H. H. Grant Buried At Jackson Mrs. H. H. Grant died at her home at Ridgeway on Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock. She was 62 'years of age. i A short funeral service was conducted at the Grant home by the Rev. B. C. Thompson, Methodist minister, on Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The remains were taken to Jackson where enterment was made in the Jackson cemetery following services in the Methodist church of that town. \ ? mi armt WARREN, N. C., FRIDAY, M Wmcifcur IN TOBACCO CROP Bob Bright Estimates That Acreage In Warren Will c. Be Cut In Half J UNABLE TO GET PLANTS \ Tobacco acreage will be cut 50 c per cent In Warren county, Bob c Bright, agricultural teacher and < member of the local government 1 loan committee, estimated yester- 1 day when questioned about the * outlook for Warren's crop yesterday. i < Mr. Bright said that the acre- ' age reduction would be due to < three things: Those who borrowed 1 - ? : j. 1 tunas trom tne government, wiun which to farm are allowed to plant * only a stipula^d amount; there is ( a scarcity of plants; low prices of 1 past years w:ll have some effect 1 this year in curtailment of the ? crop. i The scarcity of plants Will perhaps be the riost potent factor in 1 the acreage reduction. Many of the plant beds in Wai\en county, j as well as ir. other parts of the ; Slate, have been completely wiped * cur, by insects. Practically all of them have been damaged to some 1 extent. Those who replanted have met with ilttle success, it is * understood. The plants that are living now , pie being attacked by the Blue | Mold, which is described by many , to be the worst enemy that has yet 5 attacked plant beds. Before the , j onslaught of ;he Blue Mold, many j of the plants were destroyed by the flea bettlis. j j In past year swhen one farmer j 'needed plants he could usually j make some arrangement with his } ntiDrhhrrt- fnr ?mfl. hut this season i he will not fce able to do so, nor | | will he be able to get many from j adjoining counties, for the scar, city Is mor(. than county-wide, ] farmers say. And, the comment } luns, if they have to pay anything \ much for the plants, their chances ] of making any profit off of their } ciop is nil. ( FARMERS, TIN ABLE & GET ! PLANTS, RETURN CHECKS j Some of tlie farmers in the ( county who !>orrowed money frcm ] the government for the purpose of j growing a tobacco crop and found ( out 'that they would be unable to j get plants this year due to a scar. . city which has been brought about j by flee bettle.5 and blue moldi have 1 returned their checks to the gov- t eminent. Others are contemplat- ( ing such action, it is understood, while some do not know what to | do about the matter. , J. C. Howard, who is in charge j ct the government loans here, said t yesterday that he would be glad j to talk with any of the farmers in . regard to the matter. He c'an be ( found at the court house, up stairs. . The farmers are in a quandary , as to what to do jn the face of t promises to raise a stipulated c amount of tobacco and now find " themselves without plants or the ( r>f cwit.t.infr anv. All such ]Ji. v ~ o sj - growers should confer with Mr. Howard at once in order to obtain j, an adjustment so that they may use y the mcney furnished them and at the same time proceed with their crop. i Third Man, Alleged Robber, Is Brought Here By Sheriff i ? J. A. Williams, Franklin county ' white man, was arrested and 1 brought to the Warren county jail ( yesterday morning by Sheriff W. J. < Pinnell in connection with his as- 1 sociations with Bennie and Roger Falkener, two white men also 01 1 Franklin county, who are alleged ( to be members of a gang which has I j committed a number of rcbberries i !at Warrenion and elsewhere. The < Falkeners were lodged in jail here s several weeks ago after it was learru ] 1 ed that they were connected with the robbery of Roy Davis' service ] station. < The three men will be tried at < the May term of court. Ed Hudson ' is also wanted in this connection. He resides in Virginia and is fight- ! ing etftradftion Bjapers, but it is thought here that he will be brought back to North Carolina. ? 1 TEACHERS RETURN HOME ( The following teachers of the John Graham high school have J L 3 Viowioe I , J TGIUTIICU LU 1?H?AA H'WHtNWAVC nv/niv.u Miss Mary Randolph to Faison, Miss Alta Rudisill to Hickory.

H. Peete, when this matter was liscussedi Tuesday afternoon in the :ourt room by a representative of he highway force before a joint neeting of town and county comnissioners and a number citizens of he town. The purpose of the proposed ,1** ? v* Ui/vl\n*nvt n i- ^ ^ J auuigc ui iJu^Liwtty wtwa uu avuiu ;he reversed banked curve at insersection of the Macon and Liberia oads, which has been a hazard to notorists since the read was constructed, to avoid the necessity of soming up a steep incline into iVarrenton's Main street where shere is continuous traffic, and to shorten the State route as it leads :rom Raleigh to Norfolk. Rather than the new roadi which would lead tourists out of Warrenson without bringing them through she heart of 'town, the business secsion, the commissioners voted unanimously in favor of leaving the rcute where it is and fixing the :urve at the danger point. R. G. Browning, road locating angineer, told the gathering that she State highway body wanted to six the road like the people here van ted it and that efforts would 3e made to make the curve safe is possible. He saidi that he was not irguing for the change in the highway, nor was he arguing against .t. Joe Taylor, who is in charge of road work: in this section, said yesterday that he did not know definitely when work would be com Tie need on Improving the curve at he intersection of the roads, but hat he thought it would be within 50 days. The vote as to whether the people of WaiTenton and Warren yanted to change the highway was ;aken after Mr. Browning had exlibitedi blue prints cf the proposed oad and made a short discussion >f the possibility of more traffic n years to come and the need for mother avenue of travel. John Clay Powell, chairman of the board of :ounty commissioners, told the ti'ghway men that he felt that :t was a matter for the town to lecide, that he did not believe that t made any difference to the peojle of the county at large, and; 'that ie felt that anything the town comnissioners saw fit to do in this mater would meet with the approval )f the people of the county. Mr. Powell was succeeded in his ;alk by Ed Rooker, a member of he beard of town commissioners. i?r. Rooker pointed out the fact hat there were a number of famiies living on Church street with hildren whose lives would be eniangered, 'that the proposed route vould probably effect the business ita ft fVio iwnm Ku nnh rnmlnc WC Vi UilU WU** f-fj MWV hrough the business section, and aid that he felt that those people vho had established businesses on ,he present route were to be con. iidered. He stated that it was the inanimous opinion of the town joard that the highway be left vhere it is and that the curve be :onditioned. Wise And Afton Ask For High Schools Meeting in regular session on Monday, the Board of Education indorse plans of establishing standard four-year high schools at Wise and Afton.Elberon, and passid a resolution to transmit this endorsement to the State Board of Equalization. This action came after the Af mi?J W7\c& RP.bnol ,UI1-HjIUUI UX1 CliiQ bug *? ww.?-committees appeared before thq joard asking it3 support in obtainng high schools for their respective communities. Roy Daniel was spokesman for Afton-Elberon and Evans Coleman for Wise. Joseph Bobbitt was named committeeman at Vaughan to succeed D. J. Tucker, who failed to qualify. Dther matters before the board ivere of a routine nature and adlournment wa3 taken shortly after aeon.

Library ( oruj; Norlina Sch Started; W i f Teachers To Aid ^ Welfare Worker In Distribution of Seed I Striving to help the unemployed of Warren, the teachers of agri- * culture met ivith the superin- 0 tendent of public welfare Wed- c nesday morning and made plans * for a live-at-hcme program in this 8 county. Plans call fcr a division of the ^ county with each oi tne teachers ] having supervision of four town- ( sliins. Thp.sa teachers, with the co-operation of the public, are to collect and distribute garden seed in their own townships and what they do not need they will send to the ofQce of the superintendent of public welfare. The division of the county was , made as follows: A. W. Parker has . Roanoke. River, Judkins, and . F:shing Creek townships. C. G. Lawrence has Sixpound, Hawtree, Smith Creek and Nutbush. R. H. Bright has WarrSnton, Sandy . Cieek, Shocco and Fork town- . ships. Misg Leach said: i *^'We are asking the co-operation i of all churches in the county to \ put on an immediate drive for i seed. The superintendent of pub- j lie welfare has the names of about 75 people asking for seed whom 1 she was unable to furnish. We < are asking every one who can do i so to give employment to as many 1 as possible. Many are anxious and t willing to work but can find so f little to do. Those employing any i one couia pay inem in seeu ui i iood. About 300 people in this 1 county have been given about half s as many seed as they need. i "There is plenty land In this 1 county that citizens will let the 1 unemployed use, and the unemployed have children to cultivate this land, so it is up to us to get c seed and fertilizer to raise food 1 this year. We are to stress the 1 fact that if the people of this ' county do not plan to look out for 1 themselves that there is no aid to 1 be expected from any outside ' source whatsoever. Furthermore, ' the county does not expect to be 1 in any position to aid the desfci- 1 tutes next winter, unless they are 1 (Continued on Page 8) Judge Taylor Hears \ Two Cases Monday 1 Two cases were heard by Judge Taylor in Recorder's court Monday morning and two more were postponed for a week when they will be tried before a jury. Mackentire Bell, negro charged with carrying a concealed weapon and trespass, plead guilty to the offenses and was sentenced to eight months in jail, assigned to work the roads. Brown Alston, negro arrested by Prohibition Enforcement Officer Edward Davis and Deputy Jchn Cary Davis, was tried for possessing liquor for the purpose of sale. He plead guilty and received a 6months road sentence, which was suspended on the condition that he pay a fine of $10, plus costs* in the action, and remain of good behavior for two yeiars. Brown Alston is also facing a charge of resisting arrest, but this case was postponed from the past Monday for a week in order to have a jury trial. George Bob Alston, charged with possessing liquor for the purpose of sale, will also be tried by jury next Monaay moiuujg, The two negroes were represented by John H.

Mondays, Fridays and i Saturdays are the days in which it t is all right to fish. 1 The permit to fish during the closed season was granted sports- t men of the county by the depart- ' ment of conservation and develop- ; ment, at the request of E. Hunter I PinnAii game warden, who was in ] * o ? Raleigh Tuesday. Mr. Pinnell said yesterday, "please 1 notify the people that they can fish three days a week?Monday, Friday and Saturday. Since some of the people have found out that several counties of the State have been t granted immunity from the fish- j ing law this season, they have ( shc<wn inclination to scalp me for t not fixing it so they could fish ? here."

Bob Paschall, epresenting Wise patrons, who nade the request for an audit of /he Wise Special Charter district, withdrew his request at thg meetng on Mondiay after it had developed that the district might be ;nxed with the cost of such an iLdit. Question of Cost The question of who is to bear he cost of the Norlina audit will lave to be determined, possibly oy the court. Charles M. Johnson, iirector of local government, in a recent letter to the board of comnissioners, expressed the qplnion hat the district would have to pay ;ho cost. Julius Banzet, county utorney, expressed the same opinon. "As to payment of cost of raid audit, minutes of the board read, "said cost to be paid from whatever fund aa ruled by the proper official."
