* SESSION Of
COUNTY COURT
udge Taylor Presides Over
Two-Dav Session As Law
yers Fight Cases
:iVIL CASE ON TUESDAY
Recorder's court set a precedent
>r length of session this week when
; became a two-day affair. There
lave been other times since Judge
if. W. Taylor has been handling the
avel 'that the wheels of justice
ave moved throughout the day,
ut heretofore with the coming of
usk they have been thrown out of
ear and allowed to remain in
eutral until the following Monday
'hen they were again set :into
lotion. Not so this week.
The duration of this week's ses-J
ion has been due to the; fact that
here were more lawyers than usual
efore Judge Taylor in behalf of
lients and to the fact that there
;as a civil issue to settle at this
ime. There have been numerous
ccasions when more defendants
rejre dealt with in a day's sitting,
iut when there are attorneys in a
ase y there are usually more witlesses
to 'testify and more questions
o affirm or deny, and too, they
ometimes become verbose.
Assault and possessing stolen
roods knowing them to have been
tolen were the charges which
>rought five defendants before
fudge Taylor, and which occupied
:oirt Monday. Tuesday's court had
>efore it the issue of the Maryland
iasualty Co. vs. Warrenton Box
md Lumber Co.
The assault charge grew out of
m affray between Alvin Harris,
fames Falkener and Forrest Harris,
rhe three are negroes cf the Maion
section and according to 'testinony
the fight started over bugging
>otato3s. Forrest Harris testified
hat Alvin Harris and James Falkner
beat him, knocked him down
ind struck him with a rock. The
wo defendants in the action told
he < court that they were bugging
he potatoes and called to Forrest
o,come and .finish out his row.
Arrest refused, they said, and
[uoted him as stating that the bugs
:ould become as big as a bucket
md he would not remove them, nor
:ould any one make him do so.
Another negro who were in the
potato patch with Harris and Falk:ner
at the time and who eluded
rfficers when Harris and Falkener
vere arrested, threw a rock at
Hamhao! TJov^ic onrl cfriiolr liim Prn

followed, according to evilence,
and Harris came cut to the
lotato patch where the fracas took
dace.
The two defendants denied sbrikng
Harris with a rock or attempt ng
to harm him. They said that
hey asked him to help with the
lotatces, but because that he did
lot that they did not attempt to
ise force or to bring on a fight.
Alvin Harris and James Falkener
vere given good reputations, and
Fudge Taylor found the two negroes
lot guilty. They were represented
>y Gi'mer Overby.
A Philadelphia negro peddling
hoes was responsible for three
nembers of his race from the Ridgevay
section being brought before
he court to answer charges cf
lossessing stolen goods knowing

Blalock Shoots
Men Attempting To
Rob Hen House
The patience of a week brought
Ed Blalock reward on Monday
night when he sprinkled two men
with gunshots as they fled from
his hen house into (the darkness of
a rainy night. Mr. Blalock did not
recognize the men that night, but
the next morning it was learned
'ihat a doctor had been called to
the cotton mill and box mill section
to pick shots from the flesh
of two white men named Champion
and Wood. Their wounds were not
reglarded as serious, it is underwood.
Trouble beg|an for M]r. Blalock
about six weeks ago when night
prowlers visited his farm and carried
away six hams and two
shoulders. Two weeks ago their was
another visit which resulted in the
loss of four hens and a fine rooster.
After [the second call of the
thieves Mr. Blalock began guarding
his possessions and had for mere
than a week stayed up at night
guarding his hen house and smokehouse
when his target came on
Monday night.
It is not definitely known whether
or not the men will be brought into
court. Mr. Blalock is reputed to
have stated 'that be was satisfied.

ILLEN OFFERS TO
MAKE DONATION
!ounty Superintendent Of
School Promises Aid For
Afton-Elberon School
>R. A. T. ALLEN SPEAKS
Lifting the theme of cooperation
eyond verbal gestures, J. Edward
lien, superintendent of Warren
aunty schools, told a gathering at
ae Afton-Elberon school house on
londay night that if it were the
rishes of people of that section to
Maintain their school and if the
latter could be arranged satisfacorily
with State authorities that he
.ould gladly aid them by contributng
for a year what money he earned
while wt rising outside pf his
ffice.
This offer was made to a people
/ho have been wrangling over
chool matters for a years and who
ad assembled on this occasion
nth the hope of hearing from A.
Allen, State superintendent of
choolsi that it would be possible for
hem to retain their high school.
The wrangle over the school
uestion lies in the fact that a num>er
cf the people of the Aftonllberon
section want a full laccreditd
high school in their community
nd the State board of equalization
as ordered that the boys and girls
rom that section be transported to
Varirenton and given instruction in
he high school here.
In the discord that has arisen over
he question where the children
hall be taught the county superinendent
'has borne ithe .brunt of
(riticism, and his cffer to give of
Lis means was in the spirit of coperation
and in retaliation to the
ccusations that he was doing all
/ithin his power to hinder the peo>le
from that section from having
n accredited high school.
The county Supt. said that he
ad been chosen to lead the people
i the educational field and that it
/as his privilege and honor to serve
o lcng as he had the cooperation
if the people. He siaid tnat a good
reneral stuck with his army when
t advanced and when It withdrew "
,nd so it was with him. He said
hat he had rather have the fuliledged
support of the people with
,'hom he worked than to have the
inest school system that could be
isualized if it were agjainst the
Irishes of those with whom he servd.
In making, the offer Mr. Allen
aid that he did not konw what it
vould amount to in a year, but at
lights and after working hours he
ead and wrote and that the proeeds
from his labor amounted to
, considerable sum.
The State superintendent's talk
/as interesting throughout and aplarently
enjoyed by the the gath.
.ring, but nothing tangible in reard
to an accredited hieh school
or Afton-Elberon was forthcoming,
le said that he was only one of the
nembers of the jury who would
tave to decide on the question and
hat no light could be thrown on
he situation until the matter had
>een presented to the full jury. It
s understood that County Supt. J.
Cdward Allen will present the
vishes of the people of Afton-El>eron
before the school committee
it Raleigh at an early date.
The State superintendent traced
he growth of 'the schools of this
Itate for approximately a century,
le said that 100 years ago the
iroblem cf educating a child was
onsidered a problem for the family
o solve; today the problem of
ducating a child is regarded as a
iroblem for the State to solve. He
tated that the State had assumed
be responsibility for educating -the
oys and girls of North Carolina
ut that it had also worked out a
olicy to pursue. The State, he delared,
is cramped for funds with
rhich to run iis schools and for
hat reason every move has to be
lade in the name of economy. He
aid that where the State found it
heaper to lift pupils from one
chcol to another by means of
ransportation that the State was
oing this and that districts were
at regarded. County lines are not
ven regarded sometimes, he said.
"We have made wonderful proress
in education and I trust that
re will continue to go forward, but
; has meant sacrifices on the part
