Warren County Asks \
Federal Appropriati
Among Destitu
Warren county is asking for $30,000
of the 300,000,000 recently appropriated
by the Federal government
for distribution amcing, the
States for local relief work, it was
learned this week from Miss Lucy
I. Leach, head of the county's welfare
department.
Provided Warren's request meets
with the approval of State authorities
ntiH thp monev is sent here, it
is proposed to use $15,000 for hospi;alization
of the sick and the other
half for general relief work, Miss
Leach said.
The amount of the welfare department's
request was decided upon
at a meeting of representatives of
relief agencies in Warren county.
The $15,000 asked for by the doctors
will be used, it was said, for
hospitalization, medicines, doctors
calls, tubercular patients and tonsilar
cases. The remainder is to be
used by the welfare officer in the
purchase of food and clothing for
destitutes in Warren.
Attorneys Say
Note Not Properly
Before Board
The J. R. Paschall Company note
presented for payment to the board
of education at its regular July
I meeting is "not properly before the
board for action of any kind at
this time," according to decision of
Polk & Gibbs, attorneys for the
school board.
Mr. Paschall appeared before the
board of education at Wagrenton on
the first Mcnday in July with a
note in favor of J. R. Paschall Company
in the sum of $2341.70, dated
March 23, 1908, signed by the board
of trustees of the Wise Special
Charter District. Mr. Paschall also
presented a petition signed by J.
R. Paschall, C. W. Cole, and A. J.
Perkinson asking that a sum to pay
this note be included in the Wise
school budget. Mr. Paschall was rertnod'oH

fore attorneys for the board.
The note showed a credit on its
back of 344.75 on April 10, 1908, and
on January 12, 1915, of $10.
In returning their decision to the
board on Monday, Polk and Gibbs
wrote: "Pursuant to your recent requeg;,
and without going into the
merits of the matter, we are of the
opinion that before the Board of
Education could act in respect to
the above note that the Wise school
District would have to include provision
for the payment of the same in
its district budget, which budget
wculd have to be sworn 'to by the
chairman and seoretary of the district
committee. It is our understanding
that this has not been
done, and we are, therefore, of the
opinion that the matter is not properly
before ycur board for action
of anv kind at this time."
Asks That Falling
Trees Be Reported
Trees falling across the roads ol
Warren county should be reported
to the prison carap at once, according
to Joe Taylor, engineer in
charge of roads in Vance and
Warren.
"Please request citizens," Mr.
laylor said y-sViday, "to telephone
the prison camp, 'phone 58,
upon dicovery of a tree blocking j
any road. The highway force will
remove them immediately. This
kmd of work is a part of its duties.' I
Fireworks Break Loos
Before Board of
Fireworks broke loose in the
regular session of the board of town
commissioners on Monday night
when a delegation, composed largely I
>f ladies, appeared before the board |
to protest the establishment of a
gin in the old stemery building on;
East Franklin Street. j
W. H. Dameron & Company has J
recently purchased the stemery i
Duilding from Boyd Massenburg and |
propose to use the building for a,
Jin.
Henry Montgomery, heading the
delegation, presented a petition to i
the board, bearing the names of property
owners of that section of the
town, asking the board to take such
action as was in their power to prohibit
the establishment of a gin in
the residential section.
John B. Palmer discussed the legal
phase of the matter and asked that
the board zone the town in order
that such practice might be presented.

WARRENTON, COUNT
$30,000 From I
ion For Relief Work
te Citizens Of County
In the event 'that the county's request
is approved, the money will
not be used as a dole, it was stated,
but will be spent in relief for the
afflicted and towards assisting ,
those now dependent upon charity '
to become self-supporting. Only
those who are willing to work and ,
help themselves as much as they '
can, will be aided.
Should this money be secured, it ;
will be the first time that any '
sizable sum has been on hand to 1
carry on welfare work along a '
broad scale. Although many of Warren's
poor and unfortunate have
j been given food, clothing, treatment :
and work during the period of time
the welfare agent has been employed
in this county, the line of service
has been checked by limited <
funds.
Warren county has no fund set ;

Ready To Resign
John Clay Powell, chairman of
Warren county board of commis- j
sioners, on Monday told citizens
gathered in the commissioners
rum that he was willing to resign
if it were the wish of the people
of Warren County.
"I have been honest in my ef

spoke in the sudden hush that fell '
over the commissioners room. "I j

iiie best of my ability. If the citlzent
deem it to be for the best ir- ,
terest of the county, I will be glad (
to step down and let somebody else ,

TOWN TAX RATE
IS FIXED AT $1.00

L UJLiLi lvuiuniiiu ifu vv
The 'tax rate for the town of
Warrenton will remain at $1 for the
present fiscal year, it was decided
at a meeting of the beard! of town
commissioners on Monday night.
Poll tax will remain at $3.
Fifty-five cents of the levy will
be used for bond purpose, and 45
cen'ts for operating expense.
Values have decreased, it is estimated,
approximately $125,000. Unless
there marked improvement in
business, it is believed that returns
from the railroad will be greatly
reduced. These two factors, coupled
with heavy fixed charges on account
of indebtedness, is said to be
responsible for failure to reduce the
tax rate in spite of several economies
in administration.
Adoption of the budget and fix
ing of the tax rate came as the
concluding items of a rather lengthly
session of the board, chief interest
in which was the appearance
of a delegation to protest the establishment
of a gin near a residential
section.
Cabbage Plant Is

A small negro baby of Warren

of science a few days ago
when a piece of cabbage plant
which she swallowed was removed
from her bronchial tube.
The piece of 'cabbage plant became
lodged in the child's throat
while she was playing wi'th it, and
the mother noticing that her baby
was about to choke to death hurried
her to a doctors office here. In
coughing and gasping the piece of
weed slipped down into the bron
chial tube, and 'the child was sent
to Raleigh where Dr. John B.
Wright successfully removed the
piece of cabbage.
Catherine Powell is the name of
the cne-year-old negro baby. She
lives in the Marmaduke section and
was carried to Raleigh by Cliffort
Robertson, who also lives in that
vicinity.
