Democrats Donate
More Than $32,000
To Roosevelt Func
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.?Fron
about 3000 Democrats scattere<
across the country, the Rcosevelt
Garner campaign managers have re
ceived contributions of $32,500 during
ithe last five diays.
The total was announced at th<
finance committee office in Demo
cratic national headquarters tonight
as a corps of clerks stopped worl
for 'the day witn tnree man saw
of letters remaining unopened .
Two thousand, five hundred letters
containing' a total of $9,835.6c
were traced by committee member!
directly to the nation-aide appea
for funds made last week by Governor
Roosevelt, National Chairman
James A. Farley and the finance
committee chairmen.
The average of these contributions
was a little less than $4 each.
From several hundred others came
larger contributions totaling nearlj
$23,000. While most of these also
are believed by campaign officials
to have been a result of the fund
appeal, the letters did not so state.
Farley and the finance committee
have set $1,500,000 as the amount
they will probably need to run the
campaign. J. R. Nutt, treasurer of
nic xvu^uunuaxi iiai/iuiiai wnuiuuucc,
said last night his party's national
campaign would probably cost $1,250,000
to $1,500,000.
Nearly every one cf the letters
containing money or checks received
it the Democratic headquarters also
enclosed some campaign suggestions
>r reports of Democratic progress
n various sections of the country,
t was announced.
"Here's a dollar to help pay Hooker's
way cut," wrote several men
ind women.
Ano.her contributor said:
"If it weren't for Hoover prosperity
I could give more."
Hundreds were from anonymous
ionors who signed their letters "The
forgotten Man."
The campaign suggestions are beng
studied closely by Farley's aides
vho said they expected 'to get much
lelp from them.

WARRENTON, COUNT
Light Sentences
May Be Cause Of i
Increase In Crime
"There is a decided increase in
the number of cases ccming before
this court and it may be due in part
to the light sentences imposed by
me on the law violators," Judge W.
W. Taylor asserted in Recorder's
court on Monday morning.
This declaration came from the
Warren county jurist at the end of
one of the cases on the docket that
held court in session all day.
Judge Taylor said that it was his
nature to be lenient in tnose wno
came into his court, but declared
that if his leniency was going to
create a disregard for the law?a
willingness to take a chance on the
presumption that if found guilty
punishment would be light?that he
would have to become more severe
in an effort to check the crime
wave.
The jurist said tha; several years
ago little interest was attached to
Recorder's court due to the fact
that there were seldom more than
| one or two cases to be tried and
that some weeks there were no cases
1 at all on the docket. Now, he said,
j there are so many cases to be tried
. that most every Monday becomes an
. all-day session and sometimes court
. lasts for two days. "It is beginning
to have more of the appearance of
a Superior court than of Recorder's
' court," he said.
I Prices Rise On
Tobacco Markets
In South Carolina
i
i WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.?South
1 Carolina growers are getting
materially higher prices for tobacco
1 according to reports from the U. S.
! Department of Agriculture tobacco
market news service. These reports
i are based on the analysis of sales
at Darlington and Pamplico where
, Federal-State tobacco grading servr
ice is in operation. These reports
, show not only a strong upward trend
i in prices as the marketing gets
L under way, but also a distinctly
better ranger of prices than prevailed
a year ago. Many grades of cutters
and lugs are now selling for
higher prices than were paid as
long ago as 1929, although the present
general level is somewhat below
that year.
The opening sales in South Carolina
on August 16th, were disappointing
to growers, but the subsequent
improvement has been
rapid. The early offerings consisted
principally of primings and lugs.
Lugs continue 'to represent nearly
three-fourths of the tobacco cn the
market, but more tobacco on the
straight side of 'the grade is appearing.
There has been an increase

mostly to fourth quality or lower.
Prices so far reported range from
50 cents per hundred pounds fcr
nondescript tobacco to $57.00 for
second quality lemon cutters.
Convict Makes Try
For Freedom; Shot
In Arm By Guard
Richard Wright, negro convict, is
recovering at the Warren county
prison camp from a buckshot wound
he received in his left arm on Monday
afternoon when he attempted
to escape from Guard Wilton Strickland
while working in the Embro

Dr. G. H. Macon, prison camp
physician, stated yesterday that the
wounded man suffered from the
loss of a great deal of blood but
that he was getting along all right.
Wright was fired at twice by
Guard Strickland. His body was
sheltered by a tree when the first
shot was fired but the second shot
took effect in his arm and he
dropped to the ground after running1
approximately 150 yards.
The fugitive was placed in a prison
truck and brought to the camp
here where he received treatment
from Dr. Macon.
Wright was serving time for
larceny. He was sent hejre from
Franklin County.

JURY DISAGREES
IN WAGNER CASE
To Be Tried Before New

guilty of reckless driving on the I
night that his Chevrolet and the'
Chevrolet of J. C. Moore collided
near Roy Davis' service station and
Judge W. W. Taylor ordered a mistrial.
The case will be tried before
a new jury in Recorder's court next
week.
The accident occurred one night
several weeks ago just beyond the
curve at Mr. Davis' service station
on the Warrenton-Norlina road. Mr.
Wagner was driving his car towards
Norlina. Mr. Moore's car, driven by
James Moss, negro, was traveling
in the direction of Warrenton.
The two cars struck just a few
feet beyond the point of curviture,
and both automobiles were damaged
but occupants of neither were injured.
2
According to the State's witnesses
Wagner's automobile was traveling
around 50 miles per hour as it
rounded the curve in front cf the
station a little on the left of the
center mark on the hardsurface and
before it straightened completely it
crashed into the car driven by Moss
which was traveling around 15 miles 1
an hour. '
Wagner and his witness 'testified :
that both automobiles were traveling
at approximately the same rate 1
of speed?35 or 40 miles per hour? 1
and that he was on the right side '
of the read when Moss cut into the 1
curve and crashed into his vehicle. 1
The jury deliberated over the case
for more than an hour before the <
members came into the court room
to announce that they were unable i
to reach a verdict. Members of the i
jury were Henry Montgomery, Paul
Bell, W. W. Kidd, W. P. Rodwell A. ]
W. Ridout. I
Wagner was represented by John J
H. Kerr Jr.
Fenner Peoples, 17-year-old white
boy of north Warrenton was found
guilty of assaulting Albert Paschall
and was taxed with court costs.
Garley Whitaker, Jack Elmore
and Frank Wright, three white men .
from Scuth Carolina, were found
not guilty of disorderly conduct at (
Norlina. They engaged in an affray i
with D. B. Overby and Edwin Wat- |
kins Jr., but after listening to the
evidence Judge Taylor held that the i
Norlina boys were the aggressors and |
that Whitaker, the one whom Wat- ]
kins pointed out as the man who |
struck him, was acting in self defense.
When Whitaker was arrested a
pint bottle nearly full of whiskey
was found on him. For this offense
he was found guilty and ordered to
remain in jail for two days. i
Jerry Peoples, white man of north <
Warrenton who figured in the fight t
between the Riggans and Peoples j
two weeks ago, will be tried by jury t
the first Monday in September for i
carrying a concealed weapon.

Big Clouds Hinder
Scientists As They
Observe Eclipse
Big clouds wasted more than half
the $1,000 a minute which astronomers
from several nations spent to
study yesterday's total eclipse.
Onlv about half the expeditions
had the all-important corona blotted
out by clouds, but these included
a high percentage of the largest
and most elaborate plans to do
something new.
The "Radio Eclipse" was a success,
and the Kennelly-Heaviside
layer was caught in the act of
rising during totality the same as
It is supposed to do at night.
The "Einstein" measurements of
Northwestern University were completed
in light clouds. It will reluire
months to calibrate the readings.
- Ships at sea saw the moon's
shadow distinctly racing 2000 miles
an hour over the waves. Prom an
altitude of 10,000 feet in an airplane
aver New Hampshire, Dr. Clyde
Fisher of New York saw the shadow
sweep across snowy cloud tops.
A census of queer things done by
animals indicated' 'that birds are
more sensitive to eclipses than fourfooted
creatures.
Spectators fared better than as;ronomers,
for 'the eye was better
;han the camera in this eclipse, and
nuch that the plate missed excited
;he admiration of millions.

Not Guilty Manufacturing
Intoxicating Liquor
IAID ON 14TH OF JULY
Tom Vaughan's home-brew and
traphernalia were carried to his
ime Monday afterncon by Special
rohibition Enforcement Officer
iward Davis after he had been
iund not guilty of manufacturing
toxicating liquor.
The Warrentcn white man was
^quitted by a jury which returned
s verdict approximately fifteen
linnfoc of tor t.Ho Vtarf
rgued for the State by Solicitor
romwell Daniel and for the de:ndant
by Julius Banzet.
Mr. Vaughan's home was raided
i the 14th day of July by Special
fficer Edward Davis and Deputies
>hn Carey Davis and C. J. Flemig.
Mr. Vaughan was not at home
t the time but when the officers
. arched his house they found 16
>ttles of beer, a quantity of mash,
capper, several crates of bottles
nd a jar full of caps.
The beer and paraphernalia were
irried to the jail here and left for
ife-keeping while a bottle of the
everage was sent off for an
nalysis. Following the analysis a
arrant was served on Mr. Vaughan
nd his case was set for trial In
ecorder's court last Monday mornlg,
but due to the request for Jury
ial the case was postponed for a
eek.
The beer, the bottles, the capper
nd caps and jugs and pans were
auled into the court room and
laced before the Solicitor as the
ase was called. Mr. Edward Davis
x>k the stand and testified that
e found these articles at the home
t Mr. Vaughan. When the officer
x)ke of the alcoholic contents of
re beer Mr. Banzet objected on
le grounds that Mr. Davis was not
chemist and therefore should not
e allowed to testify what the mixrre
contained. The solicitor eneavcred
to have Mir. Davis testify
s to his information about the con;nts
of the beeverage, but Mr. Ban;t
contended that the information
as not competent and the court
eld with him.
Deputy John Carey Davis was
illed on the stand and hi3 testilony
about going to the house of
Ir. Vaughan and what they found
as similar to that of Mr. Edward
(avis.
Mr. Banzet argued that no evience
had been induced to show
rat Mr. Vaughan was selling the
eer and that he had a right by
iw to have it in his home for the
se of his family and bona fide
uests. "You can even have whiskey
i your heme for yourself, your
onWi trniii* f HonHe ca iaao n ?l
U1UJJ Uliu J VUi iiivttvw ?V *WtiQ MM
su do not sell K," he said.
Solicitor Daniels argued that it
as illegal to manufacture any
eeverage containing over 1-2 of 1
er cent of alcohol and calling at:ntion
to the bottles and other
araphernalia, asked the jury to
jnvict Mr. Vaughan of manufacuring
spirituous liquor.
A short while after the verdict
f not guilty had been returned by
re jury Mr. Davis collected the
rticles which were on display in
le court room and he and Mr.
aughan were seen riding together
j Mr. Vaughan's home where the
utiles of brew and equipment were
ft.
Members of the jury were Ed Black,
George Hester, G. B. Hull,
oyd Wilson and H. B. Sorrell. A
umber of other citizens were calli
fcr jury duty but were excused
hen they expressed the opinion
lat -hey were opposed to the proibition
laws and stated that they
d not think it was wrong to make
une-brew.
