The announcement came suddenly from the Roosevelt residence on rast Sixty-Fifth street tonight after he moving day in international af- s Moved to Act Quickly Impending developments in war ;bts and world economics impelled r. Roosevelt to make his announce" ent of these two councillors. They 11 go to work immediately with reign envoys on the Roosevelt ogram to bring a revival cf world ide and prosperity. [he formal announcement said: Mr. Roosevelt announced tonight t he had invited Senator Corde.'I 1, of Tennessee, to be secretary tate and Mr. William H. Woodin Pennsylvania and New York to secretary of the treasury and have accepted. n making the announcement of the first of his cabinet selections, Mr. Roosevelt made it plain that |Bboth of these gentlemen were vir tually drafted. Senator Hull was re. Wluctant to leave the senate. Mr. I Woodin was loathe to relinquish at this time the active control of the Bmany industrial enterprises with ^ ha<! so lone and I IWiUV.il ~ ~? ? prominently identified." I Mr. Woodin was at the residence of Roosevelt just before the announcement was made public. The 'diminutive gray-haired, genial man who will take over the complex task of national finance left alcne for a dinner party at which he |could not be immediately disturbed. 1 At Washington, Senator Hull, also k gray-haired man, easy of approach land pleasing in nature, told news, roapermen from his sick bed in the [Lafayette hotel: "I am mindful of the high honor and the great responsibility which this appointment carries. I hope to meet the responsibility with some degree of efficiency." He is suffering from a cold which kept him from today's important conference in the Roosevelt study with Ambassador Claudel of France, and W. D. Herridge, the Canadian minister. Ever since he conferred and accepted finally the secretary of state portfolio from Mr. Roosevelt on the train en route to New York last Friday, Senator Hull has been busy fit work on the foreign situation which involves an early world economic parley and subsequent discussion of war debts relief. Mr. Woccin, a man of wealth who has guided several enterprises thru the economic cr:.sis in this country, has been constantly at the elbow of Mr. Roosevelt both here and at Warm Springs, Ga.

I Determined to clear up his cabi|net lineup immediately, Mr. Roosewelt was at work tonight with his Badvisers?James A. Farley, chairman Bet the national committee, and Louis Bm. Howe, political secretary. It was believed he was in communication with Senator Swanson, of Virginia, or secretary of the navy. For Other Posts I Friends of Swanson in Washing ton said he had been offered and ^jpcecpted this post. At least two Wother cabinet posts are definitely selected?Farley is to be postmaster general and Walsh, of Montana, is to be the attorney general. B Also there seems little doubt that Miss Frances Perkins, of New Ycrk, win be secretary of labor and Henry Wallace, Jr., of Iowa, will be secetary of agriculture.

Farm Loans Held Up Awaiting Action From Washington J. C, Howard, federal agent here in charge cf seed loans, said yesterday that as soon as it is decided in Washington how the loans are to be handled this year that application blanks would be sent here for farmers cf Warren county to fill out. The blanks are to be filled out this year in an office between the Chevrolet Mctor Co. and the Gillam Auto Co. rather than in the court house. Mr. Howard said that he was ready to go forward with his work just as soon as the proper instructions were received from Washington. Mr. Howard said that about 90 per cent of last year's loans had been repaid and that something had been paid' on practically all the loans. Interest In Bible Class Is Growing With each side working enthusiastically to bring cut new attendants, the friendly competition among members of the Men's Bible Class of the Warrenton Methodist Church continues at a high pitch. And the activities on the part of the veteran Sunday school men are meeting with results. Last Sunday there were 34 boys and men out to hear Mr. Rocker teach the lesson. John C. Burwell, who is endeavoring to pilot the whites to victory and thereby win for his side a feast at the expense of the blues who are led by Martin Davis, said yester. day: "We're really getting a lot of pleasure out of the contest, and attendance has nearly tripled since we began." He added: "We want every man or bey who is not attending Sunday school to begin do mgr so, regardless of what side he joins." Miss Bettie Mills Dies In S. Carolina HENDERSON, Feb. 22.?Miss Bet- ' tie Mills, former resident of Middleburg, died Sunday morning at the j home of her sister, Mrs. Laura Hayes, in Clinton, S. C., according to reports reaching here today, and funeral services were conducted there Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock with interment in that place also. Miss Mills had been ill several months. She was an elderly lady, and death was the result of complications. The deceased was a native of Warren county, but had lived at Middleburg before going to South Carolina to make her home. She was a sister of J. T. Mills of, Middleburg. Not Over Halt flant t County Comi Not over half the plant beds in Warren county have been completed, according to comments dropped hither and yon by farmers and observers in this locality. Cold and wet weather are the two causes attributed to the delay in getting the plant beds in order early this year. It was said that reports from Georgia and other lower belt states indicate that -plant beds there have already been planted. There will naturally be a later crop of tobacco here this fall than usual. Officials from the local farm n cent's office stated today that the ? " ?? _ outlook for better prices cn cotton and tobacco crops for 1933 was not encouraging. There seems to be a trend toward a larger acreage in both those Iff ? lrenton, county of wa Three Celebrities In Warren County During The Week Three celebrities quietly slipped through Warren this week with but a few citizens becoming aware of the fact that the county at large was temporary host to the famous. The trio of eclats consisted of Amelia Earhart, aviatrix, Gutsom Borglum, sculptor, and Gene Austin, screen, stage and radio star. Two of the renown personalities just happened to be passing through the county enroute to other parts and the other was here for only a night. All three escaped the clamor and acclaim of the crowds. Amelia Earhart, who flew into glory when she made a solo flight across the Atlantic ocean?the only woman to ever accomplish this feat?was in the county for about an hour on Tuesday when she stopped at the Norlina Hotel for lunch. She was traveling by motor and was enroute to Washington. Her husband accompanied her. Gutsom Borglum, whose chisel has cut him a niche in the hall of fame, was an overnight guest in the home of Mrs. Katherine P. Arring. ton here on Monday night. Mr. Borglum was accompanied to Warrenton by his wife and daughter. Gene Austin, whose tenor voice, has endeared him to the hearts of many, was enroute to Raleigh to give a concert when he passed through here. Shining Sun Brings Smiles To Citizens The effect of weather upon disposition was conspicious here on Wednesday when Old Sol burst forth in all his glory and smiles radiated upon the faces of people up and down the streets. The sun came forth following a long period of wet and cloudy weather and as the beams beat down upon the roads, which in many instances were practically impassable, a better feeling on the part of the folks became evident. Though spring is still a month away, touches of it are being felt here. Days are getting longer and some of the flowers, trees and other things that grow are beginning to bud and blossom forth. Spring begins officially in this section around March 24.. Hardy Candidate For Deputy Marshal J. C. Hardy, editor of the Norlina Headlight, is a candidate for the position of deputy United States Marshal for the eastern district of North Carolina, and is actively engaged in securing endorsements. The friends of Mr. Hardy argue that he deserves some recognition at this time. He has been an active j working Democrat all his life, always loyal to the party and its nominees, they point out. For nearly 25 years he has edited and is now editing the Headlight, a Democratic newspaper. He was active in the white supremacy campaign of 1900. He, served as mayor of Norlina for four years, and has been a magistrate and U. S. commissioner for many years. PARTY Mrs. J. B. Miller entertained her friends at five tables of cards on Wednesday afternoon. The home was decorated profusely with daf. fodils, and hand-made Chinese tally cards were used. High score prize, a double deck of cards, was wen by Mrs. M. C. McGuire and handkerchiefs were given Mrs. R. J. Jones as consolation. A sweet course followed by coffee and cheese straws was served. teds In Warren >leted, Observers Say crops this year than last. Accord, ing to reports received at the local - - j-t i- i-U? office, it would appear uut uic farmers who had the largest crops of these two products last year are in worse shape than those who raised a small crop. It was said that the consumption of Kentucky and Tennessee burley tobacco in the past two years has increased in great proportions and that from information relayed here the farmers in those states are planting a much larger crop this season. The farmers of this section are urged to cut their cash crops such as cotton and tobacco this year and to raise more food and feed1 crops, as there seems no possibility for a rise in the price of either of these commodities. i : \ f, !;1 I irrnt RREN, N. C., FRIDAY, FEB! RELIEF WORKERS TO MEET MONDAY To Discuss Plans For Growing And Conserving Food Supply IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Plans looking toward the growing and preservation of necessary food for unemployed citizens of the county during the approaching sum. iner and winter will be discussed at a meeting of the Warren county relief committee held at the court house here on Monday at 12 o'clock, according to announcement made here yesterday by Jesse Gardner, | director All district workers have been notified to be present, and Mr. Gardner said that he would be glad to have any other citizens interested attend. During the past several months work has been provided for hun- : dreds of Warren county citizens through the efforts of this relief committee with funds provided Dy 1 the state through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This has called forth the expenditure of several thousands of dollars, and it is expected that such funds will soon be exhausted. Plans to be worked out are to give the unemployed work during the spring in the growing and canning of focd. It is expected that some cases land will be provided and also necqssary tools and canning utensils furnished. R. H. Bright, teacher of vocational agriculture in the John Graham High school, will lend his assistance in supervising the work, Mr. Gardner i said. Mr. Gardner said that such plan of action successfully carried out should do much to relieve the necessity for calling upon outside agencies this summer and next winter. | ^ - ] MANSON NEWS Mrs. Benton Lloyd and daughter, : Shirley Ann, of Baltimore, Md., are ' visiting her mother, Mlrs.

None of the shots took effect, so far as it is known. The robber had apparently just entered the station when Mr. Davis and the special officer approached, for a check-up revealed that noth. ing more than a sandwich, several pieces of Mary Jane candy and a few suckers were missing. The thief gained entrance to ne section of Mr. Davis station through a window after breaking a glass and unfastening the latch. After getting inside of the building he forced another door and went into the stockroom of the station. When Mr. Davis and Officer Wilson hurried to the service station Wednesday morning about 1 o"clock the proprietor entered the front door and the special officer went to the back of the building just as the man jumped out of the window and made good his run for safety. A year ago next week robbers entered Mr. Davis's service station and completely raided the place.

Department of Agriculture warns tcbacco farmers of the danger of spreading mosaic disease to their plants either by chewing or handling tobacco from the previous year at the times they are working with young plants. Mosaic is one of the most common and destructive diseases of the tobacco crop. Growers can readily recognize it by the mottled color : of the leaves of infected plants. The 1 largest losses come from early-season infection, and the department warns growers to be especially careful not to bring the disease them selves into their own plant beds. It is not unusual for fields to be < practically 100 per cent infected i vith the disease. Mosaic may reduce : ;obacco yields as much as 35 per 1 :ent and the leaves of mosaicJn Ijh 5ubscn^M^^|^^B1.50 a Y? Acting Sergeant-at-Arms J. Mark Trice, 30 years old and former Deputy under David S.

Department Warns fected plants may be so low in quality after curing that the gross value of the crop is reduced as much as 50 per cent. Experiments of the department and the State experiment stations show that mosaic is extremely confacrimiQ anH ran h<? snread from plant to plant by the men who weed, hoe, cultivate, top, or do other work in which the plants are touched. Merely rubbing a diseased plant with the fingers and then handling a healthy plant is enough to spread the disease. The mcsaic will live for years in the leaves of air-cured tobacco and often practically every leaf of an sntire crop is infected. This is the reason a grower frequently carries the disease to his own plant beds. (Continued on page 8) MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME ???^? i&r NUMBER 9 WARREN SCHOOLS REOPEN MONDAY Have Been Closed For Nearly. Two Weeks On Account Of Road Conditions DRYING OUT RAPIDLY Schools over the county which have been closed for nearly two weeks on account of the condition of the roads are expected to resume operation on Monday morning, Supt. J. Edward Allen said yesterday. Rainy weather and heavy roods were responsible for schools of the county dependent upon truck trans, portation for attendance being brought to a close on Tuesday afternoon of last week. At the time of their closure they were expected to be reopened on Monday morning of this week, but a continuation of heavy weather resulted with an order being issued from the superintendent's office) to keep them close*} until the first of next week. i It is understood that the bad / roads werei not only seriously; crip- J" pling school attendance but were also rendering severe damage to the trucks as they traveled over their routes for the boys and girls. For the past several days the weather has been fair and the roads have shown remarkable improve, ment. Several of the roads which were practically impassable a few days ago ca be traveled over all right now, it was reported yesterday by two or three citizens from tne country who were in town. Many of the teachers in the faculty of the John Graham school departed last week to spend the suspension period at their homes. They are expected to return Sunday. Gibbs Would Be Assistant Attorney; Frank H. Gibbs, Warrenton Attorney, is receiving endorsements pi friends and political leaders of Warren and the eastern part of the state for the position of assistant United States district attorney for the eastern district of North Carolina, and several of these have filed letters of endorsement with Sena, tors Reynolds and Bailey.

For several terms he has served as Mayor of Warrentcn, has been active in state political campaigns, supporting both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Reynolds during their campaigns. In view of the Democratic majorities rolled up in Warren for many years and particularly during the last two campaigns, local citizens have expressed the thought that the claims of Warren will have added weight. To Submit Repeal Oiiaatinn Tn StatM ^UVOUVXI Jfc W W Thei House of Representatives voted cn Monday to submit the question of the repeal of the 18th Amendment to the states. Similar action had already been taken by the Senate. Whether the country is to be designated as wet or dry is now in the hands of the people and the nimble of battle is already being heard throughout the halls of the legislatures cf tne states as prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists argue their points. It takes 36 states to abolish the Amendment. Theodore C. Wallen of the New York Herald Tribune, according to The Literary Digest, is of the opinion that conclusive action on the proposed twenty-first Amendment may be expected within four years. He notes the way dry leaders are falling back on the thirteen states believed to be consistently dry, as "the last line of defense." But "the wet reliance is on the continued effect of the anti-prohibition tide which asserted itself in the last year's primaries and general election." . When the question was submitted in the House on Monday all of the North Caroliqa Representatives lined up solidly behind the repeal measure. . % Mrs. Malcolm Stuart of Warren Plains shopped here on Tuesday. . Mrs. A. A. Williams spent several days this week in Franklin, Va. Mrs. June Egerton of Littleton was a visitor here Wednesday. Mr. F. P. Hunter of Portsmouth will be the week end guest of Mr. P. M. Stallings.
