Jack Riggan Found
Guilty Of Assault
Charge; Is Fined
Jack Riggan, white man of Warrenton,
was found guilty in a hearing
conducted on Monday before
Judge W. W. Taylor of assaulting
Solon Peoples Saturday afternoon
during a general mix-up that occurred
between the Peoples and
Riggans in front of Pett Burwell's
service station in north Warrenton.
It was alleged that he struck Peoples
over the head with a crank
handle.
Mr. Riggan was taxed with court
costs and ordered to pay Peoples
$5. Jack Giraham Riggan and Albert
Paschall were also found guilty
of assaulting the Peoples and were
ordered to pay court costs. Buster
Riggan was found not guilty.
The origin of the fight or exactly
what took place was not clearly
brought out in the hearing conducted
before Judge W. W. Taylor, but
Solon Peoples was in the court room
wi:h a bandage around his head and
Dr. W. D. Rodgers, speaking as an
expert, testified that the young
white man had been struck across
the head twice with something solid
- ? ? A
that leit two gasnes aooui an uitu
long.
Solon Peoples, his mother and
brother, testified that the cuts
came from a crank handle in the
hands cf Jack Riggan.
J. W. Carroll, a witness for the
defense, said that Mr. Riggan had
a crank handle in his hand, but
that he was positive that he struck
Peoples with his fist.
Conflicting accounts of the fight
were given by the witnesses that
'appeared in behalf of each side as
they took the chair to testify.
The case became more involved as
it became known that Jenry Peoples
and Charlie Peoples were mixed
up in it some way, but as neither
of these two men were in court,
what they did or said was not permitted
to be brought out.
It has been stated that Charlie
Peoples disappeared following the
fight. Jerry Peoples will be given a
hearing Saturday, it was stated.

PURDY TO BE MANAGER
A bonded warehouse for the storage
of cotton will be operated at
Warrentcn this year by Charles L.
Purdy, it was learned yesterday.
Mr. Purdy has leased the brick
building near the Warrenton Railroad
Co., from the Warren Develop- 1
ment Company and is making arrangements
to open the warehouse

laULlU lilg M.*vi
weigher of cotton. i
This will be the first time that
Warrenton has had a bonded warehouse
and cotton buyers here expressed
the view that it would
materially strengthen the Warrenton
cotton market.
Not only will the warehouse
furnish farmers of this section a
safe place in which to store their
cotton, but will enable them to borrow
on their cotton, as they will
obtain a receipt that the Federal
Reserve Banking System will accept
for discount, it is stated.
The warehouse will be open at
all times to the public and it is
believed that it will result in hundreds
of additional bales cf cotton
being brought to Warrenton.

Tom Vaughan Case
To Be Tried Monday
The trial of Tom Vaughan, white
man of Warrenton charged with
manufacturing home-brew, and the
trial of Macy Wagner, white man
charged with reckless driving, were
on Monday postponed until August
29.
The postponement of these two
cases for a week was due to the
fact that counsel for Wagner was
<"inf r\f t-nwn nnri if. is exDect

ed that the same jury drawn for
his case will be used in the Vaughan
trial.
S. B. Cooper, negro charged with
assault with a deadly weapon, was
found guilty and fined $5 and costs.
Alfred Henderson was before
Judge Taylor and told the Solicitor
that he would enter a plea of
guilty in connection with the robbery
cf Watkins store at Drewry,
but Judge Taylor ruled that the
case did not come under his jurisdiction,
so Henderson will face trial
in Superior court.

COOPERATION OF |
PARENTS ASKED
superintendent Allen Suggests
Ways They Can Aid
Wi|ith School Work
ATTENDANCE STRESSED
Pointing out that poor attendmce
the first month of school
was responsible for reduction in
;he number of teachers, and urgng
that pupils attend regularly
Superintendent of Schools J. Edward
Allen today releases through
the Warren Record an open letter
to parents, asking their co-operation
and suggesting ways they may
lid the schools to operate with the
naximum of efficiency. His article
in full follows:
"School work begins next Tuesday
morning, August 30. It is important
that wherever it is possible,
children be present on the
opening date. On that date all
teachers are enrolling children,
and this should be completed at
once as far as is possible. It is important
also that children be
present every day afterward?
especially for the first month.
Schools have had their number of
teachers reduced because of poor
attendance the first month. And
hundreds of children have failed
arid repeated grades because they
misses days from school when it
was not necessary to be absent.
"I venture to give some suggestions
concerning school attendance.
"First, all teachers have been instructed
to exclude from school all
children who have communicable
diseases or similar conditions. No
child may attend a public school
in this county who has scabies
(itch). This skin disease is very
readily and quickly cured, but until
this is done, those afflicted with
it are a source of danger to all
near them. Pediculosis capitis
also, commonly called infestation
with the head louse, requires exclusion
from school. There have
been cases of whooping cough in
the county, but as far as can be
learned there are none at present
in the dangerous stages. The parent
who attempts to send to school
children who may spread such diseases
is very shortsighted: not
only may there be serious illness
in others, and possibly fatality, but
also there is the possibility that
the whole grade or the whole
school may have to suspend, with
the result that few, if any, therein
can be promoted at the end of a
short session.
" Second, I would urge parents
to avoid the idea that under present
conditions it is necessary to
overdress their children. Simple
clothes are all that is necessary;
and children going to school overdiessed
show poor taste. I have
come to believe that clean overalls
should be "standard equipment"
for school boys these days; and if
my boy were going to school, he
wou.'d certainly wear them. There
is not the slightest reason why
children going to school at Warrenton
should wear more expensive
clothes than those going to
the smallest school or any other ?
and I hope sincerely that the rule
of common sense will prevail about
clothing for all school boys and
girls. We are starting school
early, and many weeks of work can
be done betore neavy ciounng is
necessary.
"Also I urge that wherever it is
possible, schoolbooks be provided
for the second day of school, so
that recitations can begin that
day. Every teacher will have a
c_py of the booklist, aifO children
will be furnished their lists the
first day. There are no new books
except arithmetics in the third
and fifth grades, which cost, I believe,
thirty-one cents. It is possible
to get heavy brown paper and
carefully preserve all schoolbooks
so that they may last a long time.!
In the event that parents are simply
unable financially to get books,
children should be sent to school
promptly, anyway. Much can be
done to assist.
"I strongly recommend that all
Farent-Teacher Associations have
their first meeting immediately
after the chapel exercises on the
fust day of school, which would
be about 10 or 11 o'clock next
Tuesday morning. It is also
sliongly recommended that these
associations give during the year
special attention to the care of
undernourished and underprivileged
children in the schools. The
schools cannot do worthwhile work
with children who are half-starved,
and the presence f retarded
children in a grade retards the
whole grade. It is helpful to every
child in a grade to help the

Robbers Enter
Grocery Company
And Steal Cigarets
Three white men, traveling in a
new Chevrolet automobile, robbed
the Warrenton Grocery Co., at 2
o'clock Thursday morning. Between
75,000 and 100,000 cigarettes were
taken from the storage room. Nothing
else was removed.
Entrance was made by forcing
open the front door. Afterwards the
backdoor was opened and the
cigarettes loaded into the waiting
automobile.
Awakened by the noise made by
the robbers, a guest at Hotel Warren
called the lobby which got in
touch with Night Officer Lovell.
While he was talking the loaded car
sped by him heading out of town.
Jesse Richardson, negro employee
of the Hotel, hearing about the robbery,
ran to the back of the Grocery
aa tuc iuuucii wcic puiiiug. uix.
He was able to get a good view of
the three men, described as nicely
dressed, and their automobile.
This is the second time within the
past 60 days that the Grocery Company
has been robbed. Robbers on
July 12 raided the concern, confining
their robbery to tobacco products.

Sheriff On Lookout
For Bandits Car
The eyes of Sheriff W. J. Pinnell
played freequently beneath Warrenton's
stop light yesterday afternoon
as he remained on the lookout for
a big blue Chrysler that possibly
contained the four bandits who held
up the West Durham Branch of
the Fidelity Bank at Durham and
escaped with an undertermined
amount of cash.
However, no trace was seen here
vmav. "rV?r\ Kvo ioVlorl njctAlS
Ul Hie men wnu ktl
and ordered Hazel Brown, stenographer,
and C. C. Cole, teller, into
the bank's vault and escaped with
an unknown amount of money.
A telephone call following 'the robbery
put Sheriff Pinnell on the lookout
for the men who were thought
to have been traveling in a blue
Chrysler. The Warren county official
was requested to s;op and
check such an automobile and passengers
as described over the telephone.
The stenographer and teller were
the only two in the bank at the
'time the four unmasked men entered.
The robbers were unable to
lock the vault doer ^because of a
safety stop on it. Miss Brown and
Cole remained in the vault until
Frank D. Upchurch, the bank's
manager, returned from lunch and
opened the door.
How much mcney the robbers netted
was not learned. A $7,000 payroll
of the Erwin Cotton Mills was
known to have been in the bank and
it was believed to have been included
in the loot.
Value N. C. Cotton
Crop Up $8,000,000
CHARLOTTE, Aug. 25.?Since last
June North Carolina's 1932 cotton
crop has increased in value roughly
about $100,000 a day.
The farmer who expects to make
only about 10 bales has a crop worth
$175 more now than last June.
The rise of 3 and one-half cents
a pound in cctton since June means
an increased value of $17.50 a bale
to the farmers and since North
Carolina's cotton crop is estimated
at 509,000 bales, the total value of
the qrop |h&s increased $8,807,500
since the low mark of June.
