' The Board of Commissioners did

. Banzet was attorney for the

I had had several conferences with
Mr. Bunn prior to this time and
handled the matter to the entire
satisfaction of the Board.
"With reference to the legal fees
paid to our attorney for the collection
of the S. A. L. taxes. Allcw
me to call your attention to the fact
that Warren was the first county
in the state to be paid. We would
like to know what was best to do,
pay about a thousand dollars in
interest on a loan to meet cur bond
payment or hire counsel to try to
collect. I remark in passing that the
amount was less than a third of the
amount charged by another lawyer.
W? got the money and saved about
twice the money paid in costs of
collection.
"I think that the huge amount
Paid for tax sale suits is the next
item. According to our very limited
intelligence, the present arrangements
with our attorney is the best
we could ask for and costs less than
the fee really allowed by law. Here
it is. If our attorney collects by

if he has to take a non suit after

SECOND MID-DAY
ROBBERY HERE
Ihief Enters J. M. Gardner's
Office On Maint Street
During Lunch Hour
SMASHES A REAR GLASS
Warrenton experienced its second
mid-day robbery within two weeks
on Tuesday when a thief entered
the office cf J. M. Gardner while
the building was closed for the
lunch hour. No loss of money or
papers resulted from the robbery.
The thief entered the building,
which is on Main street and used
by Mr. Gardner and Mr. Rodwell
as a downtown office for the Warrenton
Railroad Co. as well as a

On the inside of the office, he
made his way to the safe where he
pulled open the outside doors and
succeeded in getting into one compartment,
but the upper portion cf
the safe, was locked and he left
without getting the money.
Although the building is on Main
street with glass windows across
the entire front, no one, as far as
It is known, saw the man in the
building and no arrest has been
made.
Just two weeks before Mr. Gardner's
office was broken into a thief
entered the store of Miss Mary Russell
Burroughs while she was at
home for lunch and stole $15 in
cash.
More Old Money
Is Exhibited Here
Commenting on the fact that The
Warran Record printed a short
piece two weeks ago about a 10cent
piece of paper money being
exhibited by Pharthina Alston, colored
woman of Warrenton, P. R.
Bobbitt, white man of Macon, came
forth Saturday with some of his
rare coin and paper money.
Mr. Bobbitt's collection consisted
of two 1883 nickels, an 1884 penny,
and a 25_cent bill of Confederate
money.
Hie nickels had a V stamped on
them but nothing else was marked
thereon to indicate their value. Mr.
Bobbitt said that after a certain
number of them had been issued the
Government bought them back at
7 cents each.
The 1884 penny was nearly as
large as a 50-cant piece.
The 25_cent bill of Confederate
money was issued by the Stat? of
South Carolina in 1862 and was a
gcod deal smaller than the dollar
bill of today (or yesterday.)

Warren Next To
Top In School Use
Of Relief Funds
Only one county in the State,
Mecklenburg, used a greater proportion
of its relief money obtained
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for school projects
than did Warren, according to a
statement from the Governor's office
of Raleigh, carried in thei News
and Observer on Tuesday.
J. Edward Allen, county superintendent,
in a letter addressed to
principals and made public yesterday,
said that he ^timated that
with the expenditure of about $750
the schools had made Improvements
valued at more than $10,000. Two
schools are preparing to build additional
rcoms without appropria.
tlon "from the county, he said.
Expressing his thanks to Jesse.
Gardner, chairman of relief in the
county, Mr. Allen said, "I desire in
this letter to thank Mr. Jesse
Gardner for his cooperation in this |
work, he has helped us when and
I where he did not have to do so. I
also thank the principals and
teachers who have gone out of their
way to look after these projects or
even to do manual labor on them
in overalls, even though at the time
fully knowing that they would not
receive any pecuniary compensation.
I am grateful to Raleigh authorities
who told us about the possibilities
of this before others knew
of it."
Taking notice of the schocl crisis
in the General Assembly, Mr. Allen
said that he thought the Governor)
was eternally right in his belief that j
a defeatist attitude* in this state at
this time will be our greatest calamity.
''He declared," Mr. Allen I
wrote, 'in substance that anything J
other than a state-supported eight
months' school term would be a calamity
to rural North Carolina. No I
friend of sales taxes, he fearlessly j
asserts that he would rather see
this than see the destruction of our (
schools which would come with all j
the support that can be provided
financially without some form of
sales tax. Ad valorem taxes as a
form of support are worthless and
gone. . .
"It appears that the fight is going
to be chiefly in the House of
Representatives. If the Governor
had not thought the situation to be

to the Capitol with that speech .unwell
as he was. If the State Sup.

TRUCK DRIVER IS
FREED OF BLAME
Case Hard Fought Before
Judge Taylor In Recorder's
Court
A QUESTION OF LIGHTS
Tom Cook, white man who was
operating the truck driven into
by Norman Alston, negro, on
December 30, 1932, when Lang
Foster, 16.year.old son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Foster of Littleton, was
critically injured, was found not
guilty by Judgei W. W. Taylor in
Recorder's court on Monday morning
of driving a truck without lights
on the rear and causing an accident.
The case was hard fought with
George Green and Charles Daniel
of Weldon representing the defendant
and Julius Banzet of Warrenton
and J. P. Plppen of Littleton
prosecuting.
The accident occurred when the
automobile driven by Norman Alston
crashed into the truck which
was parked on the right hand side
cf the Warrenton-Littleton highway
a few miles from Littleton.
Lang Foster was seriously hurt and
other occupants of the car, John
Ray Browning, John Leach Jr. and
Alston, were slightly injured.
The question before Judge Taylor
was whether the lights on the truck
were burning.
Alston's version of the accident
was this: He was coming from the
direction of Macon, traveling about
25 miles an hour, when suddenly
he ran up behind the truck which
was without lights. H? swerved to
the left to miss the truck. A car,
driven by W. R. Rogers, white man,
was on the right side of the road
headed towards Warrenton just opposite
the truck. When he tried to
pass the truck he struck them both
at the same time.
Mr. Rogers testified that he was
coming down the road and was
stopped by Cook who questioned
him in regard to a service station.
While he was talking to the truck
driver, Mr. Rogers said, he saw a
car approaching, about 45 miles an
hour, and pulled up. He said that
he wondered If the car was going
to strike the truck and locked back
and that he noticed the truck did
not have lights on the rear. Ac.
cording to his testimony, the car
driven by Alston struck his car
before it hit the truck.
Tom Cook told the court he was
driving up a grade when his truck
knocked off. He said that his truck
and trailer were part on the concrete
and part en the shoulder. Be.
fore leaving for gasoline, he stated
he examined the lights on the truck
and found that they were all bum.
ing.
A State patrolman testified that
he examined the truck a day or
so after the accident occurred and
found by touching a loose wire tc
a bolt the trailer light flashed on
Several pctures, taken of the truck
and trailer following the accident,
were presented to the court. These
were offered to show that the force
of the impact was responsible foi
the wire being disdonniected and
the lights going off after the col.
lision.
The only other criminal matter
before Judge Taylor was a case
against Walter Lassiter, charged
with possessing. He was found guilty
and fined $25 and costs and given
' - -*? i-i? J-ii x rvn i.ll
a six mmiuis jau sentence, j.ue jan
sentence was suspended on the condition
that he pay his fine, court
costs, and remain of good behavior
for a period of two years.

Local Merchants
Raise Money To
Fight Sales Tax
Warrenton merchants voiced their
opposition to the general sales tax
in terms of money on Wednesday
when they contributed around $15
to bei added to donations from other
towns over the state for the purpose
cf fighting the proposed measure
which is now pending in the
General Assembly. j
The canvass of stores of the town ^
for funds was made Wednesday in
compliance with a request from B.
H. Rose, president of Rose's 5, 10 '
and 25c Stores, Inc., who proposes
to raise $1,000 for the purpose of
"waging a relentless war against
the sales tax through thq medium
of the radio."

a list of the firms that joined with
him in lighting the measure foL

''Store Manager:
"You no doubt heard the speech
of Governor Ehringhaus last evening
in which he strongly advocated
the sales tax. The stand he now
takes is in utter contradiction to
his campaign pledges and promises.
The merchants supported him loyally
in his campaign for the governorship
because he pretended to
be a foie to the sales taxj and now
when tnese same merchants need a
friend, he broadcasts a speech
which, in effect, says to H
with the merchants.
"We believe the statements as
made in his speech are calculated
to influence the minds of certain
, people to favor the sales tax bet
cause hie would have them believe
the public schools would close, the
highways would crumble and the
state's credit would cease unless
, such a tax is levied. He further
called attention to the enormous
savings which would be effected by
the abolition of the 15c property
tax, but failed to mention the heavy
burden which the sales tax would
place upon the public, especially
the farmers and people of small
means. He would have the poor man
' shoulder the tax burden in order
' to relieve the rich.

Battle Lines Over
Sales Tax Tight
Battle lines over the sales taxes
1 are drawing tighter with State Superintendent
A. T. Allen sending
out a letter tU (Ui WUXAtjr a^u v*vj
superintendents stating that there
is no alternative of a sales tax or
I collapse.
"It comes now to a question of
keeping the school house open," the
State Superintendent said. "We are
facing a partial closing and a total
collapse of what we consider to be
the essentials of a good system of
schools. Whatever notions we may
have had about school support and
administration should be subordinated
to the present crisis in one
supreme effort to keep the schools
open and running.
"The Governor has come to the
rescue of the schools with every
ounce of his strength and the full
prestige of his great office. He has
hazarded his position of leadership
during his term of office on a single
throw for the education of the
children. Not in my day has any
leader taken so unequivottuiy a position
so far out in frot and so exposed
to the firet of the opposition.
"We are told that this thing can
not be accomplished without a sales
tax of some kind. We are net choosing
among a number of different
taxes. We have the alternative of
a sales tax or collapse."
