Halifax County Board
Of Warrenton Teacl
To Hollister Schoo
Provided Warren County would
consent to the transfer of one
teacher from the John Graham
school at WarrenLon to the Hollister
school and would pay approximately
$200 from its transportation
fund, Halifax county would be willing
for Areola pupils to be transferred
to the Hollister schcol.
This was revealed on Monday
morning when Superintendent A. E.
Akers and a delegation from the
Hollister school met in the office
of the superintendent of schools of
Warren county. At that time Mr.
Akers read abstract from the
minutes of the board of education
of Halifax county sttbwing that the
Halifax board did not want the Areola
pupils without the teacher and
transportation fund. He stated that
he was present at Warrenton only
upon request of the Hollister people.
The Hollister delegates, it is said,
stated that the agf.ation originated
with them for the purpose of maintaining
a larger school at Hollister.
Superintendent Allen pointed ouft
that every teacher in the Warrenton
school was under contract and

Negro To Be Given
Hearing In Death
Case On Monday
A. D. Robinson, negro man, will
be given a hearing before Judge W.
W. Taylor in Recorder's court on
Monday morning in connection
with the death of Marion (Bush)
Carter, negro who was found dead
Saturday morning near Ryder's
mill.
When the dead man was discovered
Saturday morning by Matt
Williams, also negro, his body was
said to have been in bad shape. He
had not been seen since the preceding
Sunday and indications were
that he had been dead for approximated
a week.
Five members of a Coroner's jury,
impaneled by F. M. Allen, gave the
opinion that Carter came to his
death by being cut and beat with a
stick in an affray with A. D. Robinson,
and one member of (the jury
decided that the deceased came to
his death by his own hand.
At the inquest evidence was produced
to show that Robinson and
Carter engaged in an affray at the
home of Price. Bt was said that
Carter came upon Robinson with a
knife in his hand and was cutting
at Robinson when Robinson kicked
Carter on the arm and caused the
knife to cut the left arm of Carter.
Members of the jury who expressed
(the opinion that Carter
came to his death by being cut and
--- ? im
beat with a suck in an auray wiui
A. D. Robinson were T. C. Alston,
C. M. Haithcock, J. R. Baker, F. R.
Ryder and W. W. Warren. F. M.
Rainey disagreed with the other
members of the jury and said that
in his opinion the deceased came to
his death by his own hand.
Robinson was in Recorder's court
Monday morning but was not given
a hearing due to the fact that his
attorney, Julius Banzet, stated that
he had gained some new evidence
and asked that the case be postponed
until the following Monday.
The defendant is being held in
jail here.
Macon Postoffice Is
Entered By Robbers
I Robbers entered the Macon postoffice
on last Thursday night. Entry
was made by removing the moulding
around a plate glass in the
front door. The glass was not
broken.
Two or three parcel post packages
were removed and several
I other ones opened and the contents
scattered. The iron safe withstood
'the battering of the robbers
and no money or stamps were lost.
The combination, however, was
knocked off the door.
A government reward of $200 for
information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person or persons
entering the office has been
ported.

that the school would invite a law J

further fact was pointed out that
Mr. Blalock, Mr. Powell and Mr. .

county board of education, on Monday,
after going over the 'transpor- ,
ta'.ion account, had decided that the J
county would be justified in order- .
ing a second truck to cut out 'two ?

ing been done, Warren had no margin
with which to allow Halifax
the money requested.
After some consultation it was
agreed "that, subject to the apprcv- '
al of the Board of Education of '
Warren County, one truck which 1
goes by Hollister on its way to '
Warrenton would carry to Hollister '
any who might wish to go there.

Hold Meeting Here
Schedules of elementary and high
schcol work were plotted at a meeting
of the white school principals
of the county in the John Graham
High school on Saturday morning
at which time Miss Hattie Parrott
and A. B. Cone cf the State Department
of Instruction Service were
present and discussed 'the Ten Factors
in Raiting School Efficiency.
Following the discussion it was
decided to organize a school masters'
club. It was announced that a
nurse would be sent here by the
state without cost to the county to
give free examinations to school
children between 6 and 10 years of
age and that the State would also
during the year give free dental
clinic of six week to school children
of the same age group. Another
adoption in keeping with the ten t
items of efficiency was the use of ,
perfect attendance certificates, j
These certificates will be presented ^
to those pupils who are neither absent
nor tardy during the ap- ,
proaching school session. j
All principals in the county sys- ;
tem were present with the excep- ]

Shackled Convict
Makes His Escape
From Road Gang
Even shackles failed to subdue
Lindwood Mangum's desire for
running or to impair his speed
sufficiently to cause him to be
overtaken and he is again out of
the Warren county prison camp on
stolen liberty.
Mangum escaped from the road
force for the second time on Saturday
when he fled through the
bushes near Hudgin's bridge where
the convicts were at work. He was
fired at by Guard Russell King
and it was said that his hat was
knocked off, however the negro
continued his fligWt.
Mangum's first escape from the
Warren county camp occurred in
June when he ran while working
the roads near Manson. At that
time he was a new man at the
camp, having been sent there about
ten days before on a larceny
charge. He was later captured and
shackled.
Although officials are still on the
look-out for the Cwo negroes who
escaped the last Saturday in July.i
they have not yet been captured.

One Civil Action Hold

LOSES IN FIGHT, COURT
Four criminal indictments and
one civil action held Recorder's
court in session for a full day on
Monday.
Listening to a long 1M1 of witnesses
testify twice in assault
charges, hearing a case of carrying
a concealed weapon, and making
preparation to take down the testimony
in a murder charge occupied
the morning session of court and
'the afternoon was consumed in a
legal battle between Julius Banzet
and John H. Kerr Jr. in the civil
case of W. F. White of Norlina
against the Clarence Wyatt Transfer
Co. of Richmond.
June Williams lost out all around
in a fight with Joe Perry. The two
negroes engaged in an affray following
a baseball game at Shocco
Chapel church. Williams got the
worse end of the fight when he was
knocked down by a baseball bat in
the hands of Perry and again in
court when his attempt to convicfc
Perry of assault faile/^nd he himself
was convicted' of assault and
taxed with the costs in the action.
Edward Hayes, negro, plead guilty
of carrying a concealed weapon and
was sentenced to the roads for a
period of six months.
| The case of the State against A.
D. Robinson, negro, charged with
the murder of Marion (Bush) Car
ter, negro who was found dead several
days ago near Littleton, was
held up when Judge Taylor pointed
out that testimony should be
taken dcwn and that he was unable
to do so in long-hand. Mrs. Joe
Taylor was sent for and while waiting
for her another case was tried.
When the case was again called
Julius Banzdt, representing the defendant,
said that he had discovered
some new evidence and requested
that the trial be postponed until
August 15. His request was
granted.
The civil adhon of White against
the transfer company came as an
aftermath of a wreck which occurred
in the city limits of Norlina
I in March when the car he was
driving and a truck belonging to
the Virginia concern collied at an
intersection. The Itruck was on the
main highway traveling towards
the Virginia capital. Mr. wrnie
was driving on one of the streets
of Norlina and as he came across
the highway his car was struck by
the truck.
Following Ithe accident, G. B.
Spencer, who was operating the
truck, was charged with reckless
driving and was found guilty and
fined $25 and costs. Monday afternoon
the same testimony was presented
as was in March when the
criminal action was taken and the
case resulted in a victory for the
Norlina man. Mr. White was
awarded $125 for damages resulting
from the wreck. John H. Kerr Jr.,
representing the transfer concern,
gave notice of appeal following
Judge Taylor's decision, and the
case will be tried in Superior court.
Mr. White was represented by
Julius Banzet Jr.
