Warrenton golfers took a onesided
game from South Hill on
Wednesday afternoon when the
Virginia boys came into North Carolina
with their clubs for battle. The
visiters carried the little end of a
63.3 score home with them.
The defeat of South Hill gives
Warrenton two victories and two
defeats in he golf tournament which
is underway between Louisburg,
Wake Forest, Henderson, Rcanoke i
Rapids, Warrenton and South Hill.
The first victory for the locals came ,
when they defeated Wake Forest on J
the Warrenton course by the score
of 19.17. Warrenton lost to Louis
burg by two points?23-25. Henderson
trounced over the locals in the
first game of the match.
Warrenton's standing in the
tournament is not known due to
the fact that all the scores from '
the other towns have not been '
gathered, but "Bad-eye" Lawson, A. '
V., said yesterday that he thought .
that this town held second or third
place in the six town contest.

Negro, Arrested f
On Whiskey Charge, | r
Fined $5 And Costs f
A fine of $5.00 and costs fastened
on Walter Lee Harrison, negro man ?
charged with possessing whiskey, by
Judge W. W. Taylor in Recorder's
court Monday morning brought
forth notice of appeal from the de- *
fendant's attorney, Gilmer Overby.
The negro was placed under bond pl
of $50 for his appearance in Sup. '
erior court. ' '
Harrison was arrested by1 Sheriff ?
IX]
W. J. Pinnell and Deputy Lawrence ^
Robertson when the officers found ^
a jug and jar?one containing a
few drops of liquor and the other
giving off the smell of booze?and ga
puddle of the liquid on the ground c]
a few steps from his home.
Sheriff Pinnell testified that the
liquid on the ground was whiskey, 0)
that he not only smelled it but also gstuck
his finger in it and tasted it. b(
He also stated on the stand that n
the negro admitted pouring the ^
liquor on the ground. Mr. Robert,
son's evidence corroberated that of J(
Sheriff Pinnell's. ' p
Mr. Overby argued for a non-suit ^
in the case after the presentation e]
of the State's evidence on the oj
grounds that neither of the officers
saw the defendant pour the whis- ^
key out ,and claimed that all 'they 1?
found was a smell. Judge Taylor ^
over-ruled the motion, and pro- ^
nounced a decision of guilty. Mr. C?
j Overby then gave notice of appeal. b(
j The whiskey charge was the only
case in Recorder's court Monday, p
[however, a number of former law ti
I violators were bought /before the
jurist to explain why they had not p
'paid their costs and fines as they r(
had been ordered to do.

Senate Democratic leader, Joseph

mediate relief objectives for Congress.

The Arkansas Senator, 1928 Vice
Presidential candidate ard influential
in shaping party policy, pro- '
posed that the budget be balanced

restored by these means:

bond issue, to be advanced to (
States and municipalities, carrying j
out the bill of Senator Robert F.

Luiiiiaiiuii wiio u^iuocu xxx uic xv/xlowing
news letter received from
headquarters at Washington, D. C:
"Government Field Inspector J. C.
Howard, whose territory in this
State comprises Warren county for
the Crop Production Lean Office of
the Washington Region announces
that no more applications for 1932
Drop Production Leans will be considered
from thig section inasmuch
is the time for applying for these
Loans expired last Saturday, April
30th.
"Plenty of time was given the
farmers to make application for
Drop Leans; in fact the time limit
for filing applications was fixed at
a later date this year than heretofore.
"Accompanying this information
from Washington, is also the announcement
that Loan checks covering
second installments are not
being mailed to all farmers whose
loans were approved, but only to
those farmers who have mailed to
the Crop Production Loan Office,
Washington, D. C., their report
cards as to what disposition they
made of the proceeds of the first
Crop Production Loan checks received
by them.
"In this connection^ it will be
interesting to learn that a largo
number of farmers have not mailed
their report cards 'to the Crop Production
Loan Office, which indicates
that many of them for various reasons
do not need the second installment
of 'the Loan made to
hhpm Pnsfiihlv in manv inctonroc
this is on account of the require,
ment to reduce their cotton, tobacco,
and peanut acreage to sixtyfive
per cent of the acreage planted
to 'these crops last year.
"A crops of Field Inspectors is
employed by the Government to
make close inspections from time to
time of the farms where Crop Loans
have been made, using as a basis
for their investigations the information
on the report forms which accompanied
the first checks.
"The information given by the
farmers in the application forms
will also serve as a basis for inspection
as each applicant was required
to furnish certain information
as to his cropping plans for
this year and the results of his
farming operations in 1932.
"Farmers who procured Crop
Leans this year, and are due la
second installment will not receive
checks covering balance due them
until the information required by
the Government is furnished on the
cards sent them for this purpose.
These report cards may be had by
applying to the Government Field
Inspector, J. C. Howard who makes
his headquarters at the court House
in Warrenton, N. C., during the
morning.
"The information from Washing
ton to the Government Field Inspector
did not indicate the date
cm which the mailing of the second
Installment checks would be discontinued
but it was stated, although
unofficially, that the time
limit would expire Saturday, May
23rd.
"Mr. Howard, states that there
bave been approximately 1450 loans
m this county, under his immediate
supervision, and hopes that every
;ffort will be made by the individual
borrowers to pay back these loans
100 per cent.
"Upon the record of this community
will depend in a large measure
the future attitude of the
Government toward Crop Production
Loans in this area. It is hoped
that every individual will make an
bcnest effort to pay back his loan,
ind see that his neighbor does the
same in order to preserve the good
lame of this entire community.
"The Government Crop Production
Loans have been of the greatest
help to the farmers in enabling
i ?U
IXXOll XU1 1C1 MlUffiiO auu
supplies. .'Vll public spirited citizens
n each County should lend every
:ffort toward seeing that the loans
ire paid back from the crops grown
so as to maintain the credit standng
of this section.
"Let us hope that the people will
nake every effort to see that this
bounty, the territory of Mr. Howard
nakes a record in the percentage
>f collections, and let us not allow
ny other County to have a cleaner
scord, or make a better showing."
