I HENDERSON, April 18 ? Blue Bold, dread disease that afflicts pung tobaccc plants, has made !s appearance in two widely sep. rated sections ol' Vance county uring the past week, it was re. lorted today by J. W. Sanders, ounty farm agent. One of the laces was on a farm in the Townsille township, and the other was 1 Sandy Creek township. As yet ae disease is net wide spread nor f a serious nature, but it is de_ thar h,"p mold soreads rap. | IMillCU Wily, and that there is yet time be. [ore' the planting season arrives for serious damage to be done. [ it was stated by the farm agent, hiso that flea beetles, which last fear contributed largely to the hurt jof tobacco farmers in this county,1 fere also prevalent in even worse proportions than the plant disease. But neither is as bad so far as last tear. [ The seasons have been better up lo this time than last year and the leviral colds that killed so many blant beds in 1932 have not been |o frequent. A heavy frost was ex. berienced cne morning the past reek however, but it is not believId to have done a great deal of carnage on account of the protection afforded by plantbed cloths, which have not yet been removed In most instances. These who are in touch with the situation are of the opinion that phis year's tobacco acreage will be pout twice as large as last year, j [That does not mean, necessarily, jthat there will be twice as much [tobacco. Farmers in 1932 did not I [harvest more than about half the acreage coverage in their 'inten. (tiens to plant' because of the pests and the unfavorable weather. Con. ditions on which government seed loans are made place restrictions upon the size of the crop a borrower lis allowed to plant, but these re. ^ smcuons are net reduced from acItral harvest of tobacco, but are phased on the amount of tobacco ^whey were allowed to plant last ^wear. Even if the growers put In Btchat they are ivermitted to do do I so under the g overnment restric. ^vions this year, their acreage, if ^Bharvested, will be about twice the amount of last year's harvest. I With the final date for applying Bfor government loans set at April '^^30. it is expected by R. L. Shep. pard, crop loan manager for Vance county, thinks that hardly more than an additional 100 applica. Btions will be received here. He said today that slightly more than 1,000 ^Jhad already filed, and the askings ^ &re about $160 on the average. In | nearly instance the amount :'PP .ed ior is reduced some ten per cent, it is believed that prob &bly $145 would represent an aver a?e cf the amount of money that is being furnished by the govern. W ment, Mr, Sheppard states that a rough estimate of money actually receiv. B pd so tar places the amount at ap.

T. Barnum, circus king, separated from Aaron Turner and went : into the show business on his own hook. This information is contained in an autobiography of T. P. Barnum, printed in 1854, found macng the effects of the late Joel P. ' Daughtery of Rocky Mount and brought to Warrenton this week by i his grandson, Peter D. Jones. < Barnum is known perhaps as the 1 greatest showman of the modern 1 age, as originator of the expression < "the people like to be fooled," and j as perpetrator of many a hoax. His 1 circus was several years ago com. .< bined with Bailey's circus and later < Ringling Bros, was added to make . 4.1 1 ^ " ' * ' ' Hie largest uncus in me worm. "Prom Richmond we proceeded < to Petersburg( thence to Warrenton, N.

Early in the ! morning my little company started 1 I remained behind for half an hour, 1 receiving and reciprocating the 1 kindly wishes of my late compan. ions, and Mr. Turner then con. 1 veyed me in his carriage to over. J ] take my own troupe. We rede ] slowly, because reluctant to part, and twenty miles of road was be. 1 guiled by pleasing conversation before we overtook those who preced. 1 ed us. My old friend wished me great success, and returned to his 1 circus company. I felt lonely for several days, but my mind was so occupied by business, that I soon became reconciled to my new pp. sition. On Saturday, Hov, 12, 1836, we halted on a settlement known as Rocky Mount Palls, N, C., and I attended the Baptist church on the following Sabbath morning."

C., FRIDAY, API AMERICA IS m GOLD STANDARD Roosevelt Launches Bold Program To Expand Currency Use ALLOW DOLLAR DROP WASHINGTON, April 20?The United States abandoned the gold standard last night. Shortly after President Roosevelt in a bold, dramatic coup, had with, irawn support of the American dol. lar abroad, Secretary of the Treasury Woodin said this nation had ieserted the gold standard. Questioned by newspapermen as to whether the President's action iefinitely meant abandonment of ;he gold standard, Wcodin said: "Yes, we are off the gold standard, rhe whole matter is official aban. ionment of the gold standard." The President's action today was iaken in an effort to raise com. nodity prices at home and restore .anguishing trade abroad. The White House announced this would be done by maintaining a ,ight embargo, on gold. Actually, it neans the American dollar is to be allowed to seek its natural level in world exchange. Later it would be revaluated on a basis in natural relation to other currencies. The President's daring stroke startled the world and brought quick approval from Congressional leaders favoring inflation. Stocks and commodity prices rose sharply. Senate administration leaders moved quickly to give Mr. Roosevelt power to take what further steps he regards necessary to carry on his new battle tq check the course of deflation in the United States. They completed tonight the draft of a sweeping bill giving President Roosevelt power to accept $100,000,. 300 in silver from an foreign nation for payment on its debts. Hie silver would be accepted at a prioe not exceeding 50 cents, mu ~ ? ?- ?J- A? ?- - ? J. iie iiiuc^uie, wiiimi AS w ue piesentedaa an amendme nt.-to the pending farm bill, also empowers the President to revalue the gold dollar on his own initiative or in agreement with foreign nations, and to Issue greenbacks. 1 The bill was drafted jointly by Senators Elmer Thomas, Oklahoma; James F. Byrnes, South Carolina; Chairman Key Pittman, of the foreign relations committee and Assistant Secretary of State, ;Ray. mond I. Moley, President Roosevelt economic adviser. It would give the President a powerful weapon to be used as a bargaining power in his conferences to begin here in a few days with leaders of foreign govern, ments. The terms of the measure are similar to those contained in an amendment drafted by Thomas for the farm bill, which the Oklahoma Senator withdrew when he was ad. vised that President Roosevelt would act. The bill, as completed tonight, was sent tp the White House for the President's final approval. Its speedy enactment by Congress is expected. Fpr the silver provisions the drafters took a bill by Pittman, re. cently introduced as an amendment to the farm bill. It authorizes the silver accepted as payment on for. eign debts to be used as the basis for issuance of currency. Silver certmcates, in aeuomuw. tions of one dollar each, would be issued to the amount of the silver received for payments of the debts, and could be used in payment of any obligations of the United States. The silver bullion would be coin, ed into standard silver dollars and subsidiary coins, and retained in the Treasury to redeem the certificates, BUYING FRENZY ADDS BILLIONS TO VALUES NEW YORK, April 20?Deluged with buying orders, commodity and stock markets rose with sensational activity today as the naticn sought (Continued on Page 8) SPECIAL PROGRAM OF MUSIC IS CALLED OFF The special program of Easter music that was to be held in the Warrenton Methodist Church on Sunday morning has been called off on account of Mrs. John Burwell being out of town with her husband who is ill, the Rev.

Announcement was also made by the Riev, Mr. Durham that the Sunday evening service would not be held on account of the mission which is underlay in the Parish House. The regular morning service will be held, the minister said. Srrj UL 21, 1933 Subsc Two Defendants' Face Judge Taylor I Here On Monday Only two defendants faced | Judge W. W. Taylor in Recorder's Court Monday morning and both of them were found not guilty. In the first case, Haywood Davis, young white man of near Warren, ton, was charged with possessing and transporting whiskey. Sheriff Pinnell and Constable Fate Weaver testified that they were attracted by suspicious behaviour of the Model T Ford operated by Davis near the junction of the Macon and Liberia roads, and followed it from that point. They came upon the car parked on the Embro road and )found its occupants standing in the poad with a bottle in their possession, which they immediately emptied upon seeing the officers. Sheriff Pinnell then searched the car .and found under the back seat four half gallon jars of whiskey. Davis took the stand and denied knowledge of the presence of the liquor in the car. The State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis did know that he was transporting whiskey, Judge Taylor held, and a verdict of not guilty was returned. Leslie Scott, colored, was charged with disturbing the congregation of New Hope Holiness Church when assembled for the purpose of divine worship. Several witnesses testified that Scott was drinking. William Hendricks stated that he first noticed Scott when, on hearing a noise outside, he glanced out cf the window and saw the defendant chasing two of his pigs up the road and making a noise, he said "like a pack of hounds running a rabbit". A fight then followed between Scott and a mysterious man from "ever the river". Although as a result of these happenings all of the congregation trooped out of the church to see what was going on, no witness testified that any of the occurrences took place on the church property, and the action was non-suited. The solicitor then obtained leave- 'teo amend the war. rant to charge the defendant with forcible trespass. The defendant was found not guilty on this count ajso when the witnesses were un_ able to prove that he came back on ' the premises of Hendricks after being ordered off at the close of the first alleged fight. ! _ Speedboat Queen Loretta TornbuD of Long Beach, ! i Cnfif., champion woman speedboat driver of the United 8tates eelebra1 ted her coronation as "Queen of Speedboats" by driving another winning race in launching the 1933 Gardner Urges Citizens Register "Tell the people of Warrenton that they had better make sure that they are properly registered if they care to vcte in the town election which comes off on May o ft TVvw? nor/^r?ov voolcfror TP -lum uaiuiivij ivgwuMtj ? w_ quested yesterday.
