No Supervision For Mi
Action County Board
Dismissal of Nurs
Rules and regulations regarding
the practice of midwifery in Warren
county were repealed on Monday by
the Board of Healih in meeting at
the courthouse. Midwives will be
privileged to practice their profession
without any supervision or regard
to their qualifications.
The action of the board on Monday
came as a consequence of the
Board of County Commissioners refusing
to make any appropriation
for the county nurse in the budget
for the fiscal year. The nurse for
the past several years has been instructing
midwives and passing upon
their qualification. Dr. G. H. Macon,
member of the board of health,
stated that as a Result of this supervision
and training that bloodpoisoning
in natal cases had practically
disappeared. Dr. W. D. Rodgers,
the other member of the
medical profession represented on
the board, concurred with Dr. Ma!
con.
. Members of the board of health
, in passing the order rescinding rules
and regulations governing the prac,
tice of midwifery expressed regret
that they were forced to take such
action, but said that without the
Several Cases Of
Typhoid In Town;
Clean-Up Is Urged
There has been one death firom
typhoid fever in Warrerfion and at
present five other people are suffering
with the disease. One or two
cases have also been [reported in the
county.
The disease proved fatal (to a
negro woman and most of the cases
are among negroes, however, one
white woman in the cotton mill section
has a case of the fever.
Although the doctors feel that
there is nothing to become panicky
about, the opinion has been expressed
thait it would be well enough far
those in unhealthy surroundings to
take the typhoid vaccine treatment.
So far as is known, none of those
who have the disease had been vaccinated
againdi typhoid fever.
Commenting on the number of
typhoid cases in the town of Warrenton,
Chief M. M. Drake yesterday
morning requested that this
newspaper urge the people ito clean
their premises.
The town official warned that the
privies, stables and all out-houses
must be clean and in a sanitary
condition. The disease breeds in
filth.
I The Stalte depatment of health
!has distributed circulars reading as
follows urging vaccination against
I typhoid fever and diphtheria:
j ''You are urged to be completely
'vaccinated against Typhoid Fever if
you have not been within (three
years.
; "You are urged to have your children
completely vaccinated against
i Diphtheria unless they have been
completely vaccinated.
"The vaccinations should (begin
at once.
"See your family physician at
once.
"Ji is much cheaper, safer and
more comfortable to be vaccinated
than it is to have either disease."

Variety of Cases
Occupies Time Of
Recorder's Court
Judge W. W. Taylor had a full
session of Recorder's court on Monday
when he presided over a hear- ,
ing for murder, drew a jury for ,
service the following week, and
heard the evidence in charges of
assault, 'trespass and possessing
whiskey. I
The murder charge consumed all):
of the morning as witness after wit- i
ness told all they knew about the :
fight between A. D. Robinscn and i
Marion Carter at the home of John :
Price on July 31 and the finding
of the dead man's body six days i
later. Robinson was bound over to
Superior court under $100 bond.
Beginning with the afternoon session
Judge Taylor drew from the
jury box names of citizens who wili
compose a jury to decide the case
of Macy Wagner, white man, who
is charged with reckless driving.
This case will be tried next Monday
morning with John H. Kerr Jr. representing
the defendant.
While the jury was being drawn ,
Julius Banzet came into the hall
of justice and was asked if he wanted
a jury for the trial of Tom J
Vaughan, white man of Warrenton ,
charged with manufacturing in- ,
toxicating liquor. The attorney at
first said that he did, but after the
suggestion was made that the same
jury be used for both cases Mr. ,
Banzet said that if he decided to
try the case before a jury that the j
same men would be satisfactory
with him. 1
Although the evidence had been J
smashed on the ground, officers re- ,
cognized the smell of booze and J
John Kearney, negro, was found
guilty of possessing whiskey. He was .
fined $10 and costs and given a J
four months road sentence. The j
latter sentence was suspended upon
the condition that he pay the fine ,
*
ana tne casus.
Kearney was ensnared into the *
toils of the law by John Carey ,
Davis, who saw him with a bag and ,
acting suspicious. When approached j
by Mr. Davis the negro smashed the j
jar on the ground and argued that j
he had nothing 'to be arrested for. (
Mr. Davis gathered up the bag }
and brought it to Sheriff Pinnell ,
who later arrested Kearney. Both '
Sheriff Pinnell and Mr. Davis testified
that they were familiar with
the odor of whiskey and that they
were positive that it was whiskey in
the jar that was covered by the bag. ,
The defendant was represented !

Negro Bound Over
To Superior Court
On Miifrltti* rV?
WI1 ATAUIUVI V/A*Ut O
A. D. Robinson, negro, will be tried
in Superior court for the murder
of Marion Carter, negro who was
found dead Saturday morning,
August 6, near Ryder's Creek.
Robinson was given a hearing
Monday morning before Judge W.
W. Taylor in Recorder's court.
Probable cause was found and the
defendant was placed under bond
of $100 to await trial in September.
According to the story told by
witnesses in court Monday morning,
Carter and Robinson went to the
home of John Price on Sunday,
July 31. Carter began cursing and
Robinson asked him to stop and
tried to coax him to leave. Carter
resented and brought his knife into
action. As he cut at Robinson,
Robinson kicked him and' the blade
of the knife went into the arm of
Carter and blood began to spurt.
The fiorht stonnpd then and John
Price threw a bucket of water on
the arm of Carter to check the flow
of blood and another negro began
to bandage his arm. When the
bandaging process was about half
completed, Carter yanked the cloth ,
off of his arm and said that he was
going to kill Rcbinson.
Carter walked around the back of
'the house and started into a rear
room where Robinson had gone following
the fight. Robinson at this
time came on through the house to
the front yard where the two men j
met, a few minutes later and Carter ,
asked Robinson to bandage his arm. j
Robinson told him he would if he r
would put away the knife. The fight ]
started again and Robinson struck
Carter several times with a stick, .
and finally gdi the knife of Carter.
Carter left and was not seen again
until the following Saturday morn- 7
ing when he was found near Ryder's
Creek. .
There were a number of negroes .
at the home of Price when 'the fight
took place and their testimony was .
practically similar. .
The court room was packed with
negroes who had come to hear the
trial. ^

SCHOOLS TO RUN
FOR FULL TERM
All High Schools And All
White Schools To Run 8
Months, Allen Says
WANT EXTRA TEACHERS
All high schools and all white
schools of the county are expected
to run for the full eight months, it
was learned vedierdav at the of
fice of the superintendent of schools.
"It is expected," Superintendent
Allen said, "theire will be no high
school or school for white children
of less than eight months unless
present plans of financing shall
fail."
Ei} has been talked quite a bit on
the streets that schools of the county
would not run for more than six
months and some talk that the
schools would not be operated for
mere than four months. Mr. Allen
has never concurred with these
statements and yesterday definitely
stated that the schools were expected
to be opetrated for the full term.
Whdther Afton-Elberon and Warrenton
schools are to have extra
teachers has not yet been definitely
determined. Patrons of the former
have been for months waging, a
fight to keep a junior high school
in 'that community and to keep the
eighth and ninth grades from being
transported to Warrenton. Since
the state allots teachers according
to the number of pupils in average
daily attendance, this decision will
probably determine wheire an extra
teacher is to be employed.
Joseph C. Eagles, member of the
state board of equalization, in a
telephone conversation with Superintendent
J. Edward Allen on Saturday
said that the allottment of
teachers at Warrenton and AftonElberon,
based on average daily attendance,
would not be changed,
but in the assignment of an extra
teacher for 25 pupils between War
renion ana Auon-naoeron mat me
fifth teacher would be assigned 'to
Afton-Elbaron.
In a letter of confirmation to Mr.
Eagles the same day, Mr. Allen
pointed out Warrenton had a curriculum
of home economics and
agriculture beginning with the 8th
grade and that special classes had
to be arranged to handle these students.
In the event that the Warrenton
school has one teacher less
in the high school it will be impossible
to hold these extra classes.
The number of pupils necessairy for
seven teachers is 173 and ladt year
Warrenton school had in average
daily attendance 172 and a fraction.
He suggested in this letter that with
Warrenton short only a fraction of
a pupil and with Afton-Elberon

White Boys Are
Robbed; Thrown
From Freight Train
Two young white boys of NorliriQ
were robbed and thrown from
a freight train on Friday night between
Norlina and Richmond by
five negro men who were armed
with pistots, knives and razors, according
to an account given of the
assault by one of the boys who excitedly
related the adventure here
on Monday morning.
The train was said to have been
running between 35 and 40 miles
per hour when the boys were
thrown off but neither of the two
was seriously hurt. Both were
scratched and bruised.
Three of the alleged five negro
men who committed the offense
have been arrested and are In the
Warren county jail awaiting trial
at the September term of Superior
court.
Bruised and with his face
scratched, Harry Hudgins came into
the newspaper office here Monday
morning with the following
account of the robbery and assault
(hat he and his friend suffered
while riding the rails to the Virginia
capital.
The narrator said that he and
Raymond Nance boarded a freight
train Friday night and were headed
towards Richmond when five
negroes came upon them with
knives, pistols and razors and rob
bed them.
Hudgins said that after $3.15
had been taken from them that
they were thrown from the train,
which was traveling between 35
and 40 miles per hour, just before
reaching Skeleton, Va. Hudglns
said that he was scratched about
the face and his partner was hurt
| but that neither of them was
| seriously injured.
