WARRENTON, COUNTY i
STATE WILL A1D~I
PROVIDING JOBS
Funds For Labor Dependent
Upon Materials Being
Provided Locally
SCHOOLS MAY BENEFIT
The State of North Carolina has
Drovided, through the Reconstruc;ion
Finance Corporation, funds for
vork on school grounds and buildngs,
provided materials, equipment
ind a supervisor is provided for
ocally and that the nature of the
job is opproved by the state authori-1
;ies after inspection. This informa;ion
is carried in a letter from J.
Edward Allen, Superintendent of,
Schools, to principals and school
3ommitteemen of the county. |
The work for which the state
provides funds for labor comes under
two heads, Mr. Allen said:
painting school buildings and preparations
that go with this, and the
improvement and beautification of
school grounds, or addition to school
buildings.
"It occurs to this office that some
of our school may be able to benefit
by this fund," Mr. Allen writes.
'A serious trouble is that the county
school system has no money to
pay for materials and equipment. If
schools in your district care to avail
themselves of this fund and to provide
relief for those out of work in
doing so, and you can see some
place from which money can be had
to help us meet the state and Federal
requirements, I hope you will
give the matter prompt attention.
For instance there are numbers of
schools which need exterior painting.
We must provide the paint,
but we have little or nothing to buy
it with. Perhaps the county might
set aside a certain flat sum per
school which it could use to buy
paint, this being about half the
cost of the materials, let us say,
for the lack of more definite authority.
In the event that grading or
pyfnvn.t.irvn is necessarv around the
school this could be done, provided
the equipment and the pay of the
foreman can be had locally.
"I suggest that you think of this
and consult with us promptly if you
see any work of this nature in your
district."
Enclosing a copy of this letter,
Mr. Allen wrote to members of the
ooard of county commissioners stating
that he "hoped ways and means
may be found whereby we may be
able to help deserving men who
want work, and at the same time
jet some needed wcrk done at cer;ain
schools.
"Some ten days ago a minister of
the gospel living just across the
sounty line in another county, who
.s also a successful farmer, remarked
to me that a colored tenant on
lis la^ids had showed up refusing
;o work, and he remarked, "I hear
.t on all sides that persons are sayng
that they cannot afford to do
my work, for if they do, the Government
will stop giving them flour
ind will not give them any cotton
elcth when they get ready to start
jiving this out." Since that statement
was made to me, I have heard
similar statements made by persons
irom several widely separated secdons.
"I have the utmost of tenderness
rf heart toward him or her who is,
;he victim of misfortune, and beieve
they deserve our aid. But there
s another side to this. To pauperize
people, to make them feel that a
rremium is put on idleness, to break
iown their moral stamina, is a disntegrating
process which is worse
;han temporary impoverishment.
3uch a course will go far toward
rreaking down the moral texture of
people for generations to come. And
[ believe the government will not
allow us to require any person to
svork foe the flour.
"The principle of employing people
to do work on schoolgrounds
as a measure of relief to them at
the expense of the public funds is
sound. I like it. It does not impair
anybody's moral qualities, and it
benefits the public too. Your support
is requested."

OF WARREN, N. C., FRIDAY,
Littleton Man To
Be Tried On Liquor
Charge Monday
John C. Hudson, operator of a
service station on the edge of Littleton,
will be tried in Recorder's
court Monday morning on a charge
of possessing whiskey.
He was arrested by Special Prohibition
Enforcement Officer Edward
Davis and Deputies Cary Wilson
and C. J. Fleming on Saturday
afternoon when a raid was made
on his place of business and home.
Mr. Hudson's brother-in-law,
Jewell Gray, who was sitting under
the service station with several gallons
of booze in his car when the
officers approached, succeeded in
eluding the law by abandoning his
automobile and fleeing through the
woods.
While the chase was in order,
John Vincent, a negro, was seen
coming out of Mr. Hudson's house
with whiskey and was taken into
custody by Officer Fleming.
According to evidence brought out
during a hearing conducted before
Magistrate J. C. Hardy, Gray was
at the service station in a Pontiac
automobile when Officer Davis
Wilson and Fleming came up. He
drove off in his car and was followed
by Davis and Wilson while
Fleming remained at the service
station.
The chase for Davis and Wilson
ended when Gray abandoned his ]
vehicle and fled. The car, which
investigation revealed contained
seven half-gallon jars of whiskey,
was taken into custody.
As the two officers pursued,
Fleming held his stand and kept
au eye open, and saw Vincent e
come out of Mr. Hudson's house u
with a charred keg which contain- s
ed booze.
When Davis and Wilson return- v
ed they with Fleming arrested Vin- s'
cent and then went into the Hud- 0
son home where Mr. Hudson was e
found and arrested him. "
Gray, it was said, is under a ~
two-year suspended sentence in
Halifax county and is wanted in ?
Vance county on a charge of
itckless driving. He has not yet
been found by the officers. e:

able of making a will at the time
when he bequeathed his property, v ether
members of the family sought P
to break the will.
The case first came into Warren "
county superior court at the May
1931 term. The jury deliberated for
24 hours in trying to reach a verdict P

All are expected to recover. Ben

could be learned here.
Following the accident the truck
driver abandoned his vehicle and
fled. The truck, which carried a
parrot, about ten canaries, several
love birds and other show paraphernalia,
is being held here.
An automobile belonging to the
head of the concession outfit is
also in the custody of Sheriff W.
J. Pinnell. The car was seized by
Sheriff Pinnell Monday when Frank
Pope, owner of the show, drove into
Warrenton to investigate the accident.
Mr. Pope was allowed to take his
birds and his wife's trunk, but the
truck and car are held in lieu of
a cash bond. The negroes, repre,
sented by Gholson & Gholson of
Henderson, are suing for $2000
damages.
The cause of the accident is un
known. Witnesses say that the
wagon carried a light and was on
the right side of the roa<|. The
driver fled, it was reported, when /
he got out of his truck to investigate
the accident and heard the
negroes groaning and declaring that
they were dying.
The truck was enroute to Richmond
from the North Carolina
State Fair at Raleigh, it was said.
A number of local citizens went

progressive measures in Congress

K. C. DEATH BATE
IS AMONG LOWEST
Washington, Oct. 20.?North
Carolina's death rate of 10.3 per
1.010 of estimated population in
i931 was lower than the national
overage of 11.1 and was among
the low states of the union, the
Census Bureau reported today.
The bureau listed 11 states in
<vliich the death rate "may be
considered remarkable," because it
J has been reduced to 10 or fewer
per 1,000 population. North Carolina
ranked Just above these.
