I the'wghest criminal dockets in |
I vears. . ? .
M Judge Frank A. Daniel or uoicis.
boro will preside, making his first,
appearance in the Warren court
I room since 1928 when he presided
over the January and May terms
of court.
W. H. S. Burgwyn of Woodland,
appointed solicitor when R. Hunt,
Parker was elevated to the Bench j
following the death of Judge Mid- J
yette. will prosecute. I
I Among the seven cases docketed 1
for trial next week, none are of
outstanding interest. In addition to
these cases on the docket, a num- '
ber of defendants, found guilty at !
former sessions, will report to show
I that they have carried out the inI
struction of the court.
Snowball Jones, well known negro
of Warrenton. will face the court
I on a charge of highway robbery, j
Sandy Griggs Jr. is charged with
I assault with a deadly weapon. John
Burchett will be tried on a similar
count. The jury was unable to agree
in the latter case at the September
- i . ?
term of court and a nnstriai was
ordered.
I George Albert will be tried on an
& assault charge. Junius Pearson will
f be brought into court on a charge
of storebreaking and larceny.
Tom Branch is charged with
stealing a spotted ox from Walter
Alston of the Inez section and of
selling the same, the warrant being
sworn out by Walter Alston. In a
warrant sworn out by Tom Branch,
Alston is charged with aiding and
abetting in the theft. Both cases
are scheduled to be tried next week, i
and on account of the unusualness
of the cases may bring many into
court curious to know why a person
should aid and abet in stealing his
own property.
The civil docket holds more than
usual interest on account of suits
to test the legality of a special eleel
tion at Norlina; to decide whether
the Wise Special Charter school
district must pay a note alleged
to have been given a number of
years ago to Robert Paschall of
Wise; and on account of the suit j
of A. J. Ellington, young man of
Warrenton, against the Weldon I
Coca Cola Bottling Works, in which
Mr. Ellington alleges he swallowed
a hairpin while drinking a bottle
of the company's product. The latter
case, continued for several term
of court, is expected to result in a
hard-fought legal battle.

Expressing regret tnat UUbll
litical parties met in a corrupt
city last year and took a step
backward" and hoping that "some
of our leaders may yet repent and
not repeal the Eighteenth Amendment
for the sake of the present
and future generations, the Rev.
J. J. Marshall this week sends for
j publication an editorial from the
Winston-Salem Journal in which
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is attacked
for a statement she made
during a speech over the radio in
! regard to young girls and drinking.
Mrs. Roosevelt said: "The average
girl of today faces the problem of
learning, very young, how much
she can drink of such things as
whiskey and gin, and sticking to
the proper quantity."
According to the Literary Digest.
! "Some of her listeners admire her
courage; others are shocked."
And now the opinion as voiced
in the Wniston_Salem Journal: |
Unbelievable I
It is unbelievable that Mrs. Frank
D. Roosevelt really means to advise
girls to learn how to drink
whiskey and gin.
While it is true that many girls
as well as boys and men and wo-1
men, do drink intoxicants and be- j
come victims of the alcohol habit, j
surely, nobody, not even those wno ;
drink, sincerely believes that such j
a habit is good for any person, j
Alcohol is a narcotic poison?a
habit-forming drug. It is harmful
to the body. It is injurious to the
mind. It tends to mar and destroy
all that is spiritual in man.
No football coach has ever put
whiskey or gin or any other intoxicant
on the training table. No
teacher has ever advised his pupils I
that strong drink will help them in 1
the preparation of their lessons. No j
minister has ever asked his congre-'
gation to imbibe intoxicants as an!
aid to spirituality. |
Drinking is not helpful in busi- 1
ness and industry. No president of
a bank has ever urged tellers or!
bookkeepers or cashiers, or even
vice-presidents to drink intoxicants. I
No merchant wants his clerks to j
learn to "carry their liquor." No1
railroad executive will tolerate engi- |
neers or conductors who drink.
Even before the legalized liquor >
traffic was banned in this country, |
no proprietor of a salooon wanted
bartenders who were not sober. No
head of any great industry will advise
his employees to form the al- j
cohol habit. No client wants a (

Rudd testified that he did not '
titend to defy the officers or act '

act, he said, "Lawdy me, if I had

Announcement to this effect was

ESCAPE IN AUTOMOBILE
Holding Mack Capps, merchant of

four negro bandits on Tuesday
mArninnr a 1 '90 /\>lrv?lr fnrr#?H him
141U1 lUiig UV .uv \S v*Wlft *wa vww .. ?
to open his safe, robbed him of
slightly more than $30 in cash, of
a pistol and about $40 worth of
merchandise.
Binding the merchant with a
plowline they found in the store,
the negroes escaped in an old model
green five-passenger Pontiac auto,
mobile, bearing a 1932 license. The
car sped toward Macon and was
later in the morning seen at Ridgeway
headed south.
Mr. Capps said that when he
went to open his store on Tuesday
morning that the car of negroes
drove up. Believing the men to be
regular customers, he allowed them
to follow him into the store where
they made a few purchases and
then asked him for a brand of
chewing tobacco. Mr. Capps relates
that as he stepped behind the
counter one of the negroes threw a
big blue-steel pistol in his face and
told him to put up his hands.
After the bandits had robbed the
! store, they bound Mr. Capps with
the plowline on the backsteps of his
store where one of the men suggested
that he be shot. This idea
, was vetoed, one of the gang pointing
out the consequences in case
they were captured.
The merchant managed to slip
his bonds almost before the car
bearing the robbers had moved out
| of sight and telephoned to War,
renton to notify the sheriff who
spread the alarm to neighboring
. towns, .no arrests had been made
' up to late yesterday afternoon, It
J was learned at the office of the
sheriff.
Mr. Capps said that the negroes
were poorly dressed, two of them
were ginger cake color and two ol
| them were black and that he would
, have no trouble in identifying them
' in case of their capture.
' The merchant, when interviewed
about the hold-up, described the
( affair as the most terrible thing
that ever happened to him, but
' said that he was thankful it was no
worse.
