G. Brummitt told Warren coun
Democrats who gathered in the

E-r said that at the time of Mr.

abounded but under the rule of
dee Republican presidents the
taers' dollar had not only shrunk
fe had practically disappeared.
The attorney-general centrasted

that back in those days the

The ineptitude of President Hoover

Doctors Are At Break
Unable To Care For
Wright Declares;
Doctors are at the breaking ]
point and are unable to oare for
all the indigent sick in the county,
Dr. John B. Wright of Raleigh,
president of the North Carolina
Medical Society, told physicians,
aentists ana relief workers at a
meeting held in the courthouse at
VVarrentcn on Wednesday night.
The meeting was presided over by
Di. G. H. Macon. Dr. J. M. Parrott,
Secretary of the State Board
of Health and State Health Officer,
and W. T. Mattox, State
supervisor of public welfare, were
ppresent and addressed the meeting.
I
Pointing out that the sick people
of a community were the physicians,
means of livelihood, he said
that it was no more the responsibility
of doctors to care for the
indigent sick of a community,
than it was for the merchant to
clothe this class, the grocer to feed
and the banker to supply them
with funds. And yet in spite cf
this, physicians of the state, with
the traditions cf the profession,
are responding with their services
in thousands of instances with no

Drew Back Guitar
And Rolled Eyes
"H? drew back his guitar and
1 rolled his eyes at me," Lucy Wil'
liams young negro woman, tcld
' Solicitor Cromwell Daniel when she
! was asked to tell the court what
1 Elijah Blackwell, young negro man
charged with carrying a concealed
weaprn, did on the night of February
15 when he came to her home. ,
She said that she did not see him ]
do anything else but offer to give
her some oranges.
However, a different story came
from the girl's mither and from
Haywood Jordan and John R. Als- ;
ton who were in the home at the
time. Mabel Williams testified that
Blackwell came to her house and "
made the statement that he had
drunk a half gallon cf whiskey and '
was there for the purpose of rais- '
ing hell. She said that Blackwell
not only threatened her daughter
but also threatened her with his ]
guitar and pulled a pistol out of ]
hie Viin rvvlrpf-. .T.crdan and Alston I <
said that they saw the gun and j
heard Blackwell tell the Williams
woman that he would not leave her ,
home until he got ready. I
Blackwell testified that he went
to the Williams' home because he ]
received a message asking to come
over there that night. He denied
threatening anybcdy and said that* '
the only whiskey he drank was a ''
drink the Williams woman gave '
him.
Judge Taylor found the defendant (
guilty and sentenced him to jail, 1
assigned to work the roads, for a '
I period of six mcnths. J
j As a result of Blackwell's conduct
at the Williams' home his mother '
and brother fell into the toils of ]
the law. When officers came to his
home to make an arrest on a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon, Florence Blackwell refused
the officers entrance to the home
and John Henry Blackwell hid
Elijah in a trunk. 1
The court found Florence Black- 1
well not guilty and John Henry i
Blackwell guilty. Judgment was <
suspended upon John Henry provided
he pay the costs in the action. 1
B. D. Burton, white man, was ?'
found guilty of giving a worthless
check and was ordered to pay <
Charlie Harris $6 and pay the costs 1
in the action. 1

hope of remuneration, using their
cars, providing the gasoline, and
in some instances paying for the
medicine used.
With the number of indigent
sick greatly increased by the depression,
the doctors have reached
the breaking point where they are
no longer financially able to carry
on this work, he continued. Some
relief must be furnished to at least
allow the physicians to obtain the
cost of the gasoline used and to
pay for the wear and tear on their
cars. Such relief is not only necessary,
but eminently just and is
a public respinsibility, he added.
Dr. Wright told how the American
public annually spent $850,000,000
for patent medicines, wasting
enough money to properly care
ior the indigent sick, and flayed
the United States government for
the policy of the patent office in
allowing patents on Gcd given
itmedies so that the sick might
be charged outrageous prices tor
the products. He said that remedial
legislation was badly needed
and suggested that the comities

a little better than a half million
ballots.
The figures are: Hoover, 1,150,398;
Rcosevelt, 1,715,789.
Tabulation of votes from the i
forty-eight States discloses that the
Democratic nominee should receive
174 Electoral votes to Mr. Hoover's :

Seven States gave a majority of
votes to the Republican candidates
while forty-one swung into the
Democratic column.
The States shewing a preference ,
for Mr. Hoover are Connecticut, .
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, '
and Vermont.
i
New York, which has 47 Electoral

STABLE IS DESTROYED
A jinx was riding with Warren
ton s volunteer urtmen on r riuay
night when flames cf an unknown
origin destroyed the stables of Miss
Amma Graham causing estimated
damages of $500, partially covered
by insurance.
The firemen were slow in starting.
The boss was thrown from the
truck as the machine rounded a
corner, causing a temporary halt
and backup, and to cap the climax
the hose was connected to a hydrant
on Main Street at the Methodist
church, a quarter of a mile from
the blaze when there was a hydrant
within two hundred yards of the
blaze. The h:se was disconnected
from this hydrant and later placed
on a plug nearer the fire. The firemen
were a good thirty minutes in
getting water on the blaze.
Early arrivals at the fire assisted
in removing several bales of cotton
from the burning building. Then
hundreds stood by helplessly waiting
the arrival of the fire fighters.

Negro Students Utter
Treat Seed Wheat
Not only was the wheat crop short
in Warren county and much of it
of inferior quality, but more than
half the crop in some localities was
contaminated with smut, J. L.
Bolden, negro teacher of vocational ]
agriculture in the Warren County (
rraining School, says this week in <
offering the services of his pupils j
in treating seed wheat. (
These students have as cne of
their goals, according to Bolden, to ,
?ive assistance to many farmers as ,
possible this year. Believing that ,
treating seed for smut is a most ,
svorth while task they are volunteering
their services for this work. They j
point out even where there was no
evidence of smut in the crop har- i
nested, that on account of the
danger cf contamination from the
thrasher, all farmers will find it
profitable to take idvantage of
their offer.
The students, who have been
treating seed wheat for some time,
plan to complete their work on
November 7. All farmers wishing to I
have their assistance are asked to H
bring their wheat tc the Warren |1
County Training School as early asj*
possible before that date. No charges ?
will be made for the work, Prof. '
Bolden stated.

j Century Old Trees
Felled This Week
Walnut trees that have stood for
more than a century were felled
this week as workmen clearing the
lot adjacent to Emmanuel Episcopal
church for the erection of a serv'
ice station.
The new gasoline, oil and acces
sory dispensary is being erected by
1 the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
It is net known who will be In
1 charge of the new station.
The lot was bought by the Standard
Oil Co. from J. E. Ransom,
executor for Lucy Ransom, in December
of the year 1931. The property
sold for $6500.
An interesting story lies back of
' the lot and trees:
On the lot stood the home of Dr.
Henry I. Maocn and a few feet back
from where the trees stood was hia
office. This was in the days before
the War between the States.
During the Civil strife Dr. Macon
lost two sons. In commemoration of
their death, his wife, who was Mrs.
Arabella Macon, named one of the
trees Hal and the other Jesse.
In later years the office was used
by Dr. Maccn's son, Dr. Phil Macon.
