Jesse Gardner Is
Placed In Charge
Of Relief Funds
1 Jesse Gardner has been named
director of relief for Warren county
' to handle the Reconstruction FiI
nance Corporation fund sent into
II this county to alleviate suffering
among the needy.
' Mr. Gardner accepted this api
pointment following a visit here
Tuesday of Dr. Roy M. Brown,
. technical supervisor of the govi
ernor's office of relief, and W. T.
i Mattox, district supervisor.
> Mr. Gardner has set up headquavt
ers in the courthouse, and late
. yesterday he was busy appointing
s committees and working out plans
for handling relief work in this
5 county. His work, it is understood,
I will be supplemented with the work
, being carried on by Miss Lucy I.
j Leach, county welfare officer.
Warren county received an additional
$1500 in cash for relief
work among needy families as the
result of the second allotment by
the State relief organization from
the $815,000 gTant made North
Carolina several months ago by the
rinrlovftl rroTTornmont for fhof Til IT*
X" CUUi ai guv&i ximuiiv Aw* vtiuv j^v,.
pose out of a total of $300,000,000
r ppropriated by Congress. This is
the second allotment of $1,500 re?
ceived here this fall.
"Too many people have a mis.
taken idea about the purprse of
i this allotment," Mr. Gardner
> said. "They seem to think that
r because we have received some
5 money from the State that we will
3 go out and hire pecple for all
> kinds of work throughout the
county. That Is not correct.
"The money was granted W>.rj
ren ccunty to ktep people from
t fitrzing and starving and not uif.h
. toe idea of solving the unemplovf
nent situation. Of course where
! aid is needed we had rather .live
f work than to hand out dole, but
because seme individual needs a
t well dug or similar work dene
arcund his house it is no need lor
him to expect this department tc
? send a man there and pay for this
_ wrrk."
Mr. Gardner said that the county
' is being organized thoroughly and
every effort will be made to tender
aid where it is most needed
She said that the committees in
e the various sections cf the county
" were familiar with circumstances
r fVioir immpiiitttp localities and
ill
r that she believed the money would
be spent wisely.
"Where there Is a man or a
woman, or boy cr girl, who is in
1' dire need of assistance," Mr. Gard*
ner sai, "the welfare agencies
I will offer assistance, but it is not
ot the purpose of this department to
| support dead-beats who are strong
5. In body and mind and who will
t not work when the chance of emr
ployment is offered them."
s Mr. Gardner said the heaviest
burden would come during the
i months of January, February and
\ March, which make up the midd
| winter season. After the next allotit
ment is made from government red
lief funds, those to follow that will
;. be based in large measure upon the
il effort that is made locally to help
- the needy, she stated. The town
r and county are required to do their

BOTH ARE CONVICTED
Benjamin Smith and John Jones,
two negroes captured in the woods
near Blue Mud by Special Prohibition
Enforcement Officer Edward
t Davis and Deputy John Carey Davis,
were found guilty of violating the
prohibition laws when tried in Recorder's
court before Judge W. W.

Special Officer Davis told the

water and pour it into a box that
contained meal. The officer testified
that was the way mash was
made and said that there were still
sites around.
Smith testified that he was going
through the woods to deliver a message
about some cotton for his father
when he ran across Jones who
was squirrel hunting. He said as the
two of them traveled together they
came across a negro man whose request
it was that when they came
to the point where the water and
meal were located that they pour
I the water into'the box with the
meal. Smith said that they told the
man that they would and that they
were in the act of doing so when
the officers placed them under arrest.
He said that he did not know
who the man was arid that he did
not know that he was assisting in
the manufacture of whiskey. Several
white witnesses came to the
stand to corroborate Smith's testimony
about being sent on a mission
by his father.
Although the cases against Smith ;
and Jones were tried separately, no '
new evidence was revealed.
Judge Taylor fined Smith $5 and j
costs and gave him 64 days in jail,
assigned to work the roads. The jail .
sentence was suspended provided he
pay the fine and costs within two
days and pay jail cost.
Jones was confined to the Warren

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL ON SUNDAY
Annual Appeal For Memberships
And Funds To Be
Made By Canvassers
BURROUGHS IN CHARGE
namrassprs in Warrenton township
for the annual Red Cross Roll Call
are to gather at the Epsicopal
church here Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock for brief exercises before the
house-to-house pilgrimages are begun.
Supplies are to be distributed
at this time and the purpose of the
campaign briefly stated.
The goal in Warren is for $700 or
700 members. Half of the funds received
will be spent through the
charitv chest of this county. The
other goes to National headquarters.
Stephen Burroughs is Roll Call
chairman.
Persons who do not wish to remain
at home Sunday afternoon to
await the arrival of the canvassers
are asked to leave their membership
'fee with some one at their resi[
dence.
Committees to make the drive
throughout the county as well as in
Warrenton were named at a meetling
of the Warren county chapter
of the Red Cross held last night in
the courthouse. Efforts will be made
this year, it is understood, to make
j a more thorough canvass of the
county than heretofore.
The fact that the National organization
has sent 8,000 yards of cloth
and 400 barrels of flour here for
distribution among Warren's needy
is expected to have weight in aid'
ing the Roll Call committee to reach
its goal.
Alan Berres, field representative,
was here yesterday and said that
not only had the National organization
already sent cloth and flour to
I this county valued at around $4,400,
| but that Warren would soon receive
a shipment of ready made garments
| to be distributed among school children
and other needy individuals of
the county.
Government flour is still being
received and distributed and large
quantities of cloth are also being
| sent here. This is being allotted ,
[ for clothing for children only, and
where the mother in the home can
make the garments sne is being
allowed to do so. Where this is not
possible, women of the town and
county are giving their services to
provide the garments.
Woman Killed; Man
Hurt In Automobile
Wreck Near Wise
Mrs. Pauline Allsbrook of near
Baskerville, Va., was instantly killed
and Tom Tacker was slightly injured
last Thursday night about 6:45
o'clock when the Chevrolet automobile
they were traveling in overturned
several times below Wise after
being forced off the highway
by a truck.
The truck continued towards
South Hill following the accident.
Authorities have been unable to
learn the ownership of the truck
or by whom it was being operated.
According to Tacker and two
negro eye-witnesses, the Chevrolet
was traveling towards Wise when
it met the truck which forced the
automobile off the concrete. When
the driver of the Chevrolet cut
back towards the roadbed the vehicle
overturned two or three times, resulting
with Mrs. Allsbrook having
her neck broken and Mr. Tacker
being knocked unconscious.
One of the eye-witnesses, according
to Coroner P. M. Allen, said
that when the car overturned the
driver of the truck looked back and
then put on more gasoline and continued
north. The number of the
truck was not procured and authorities
were unsuccessful in the efforts
to have the truck stopped.
Coroner Allen, who went to the
scene Thursday night and held an
inquest there on Friday morning,
said that the coroner's jury came to
the decision that it was an unavoidable
accident so far as the driver
of the car was concerned.
The body was brought here to the
Allen funeral parlors where it remained
until Saturday when it was
called for by a Boydton undertaker.
