Garden Club
Holds Flower Show
Home Mrs. Nunn
Nature spoke in many tongues of
' art to those who gathered at the
home of Mrs. S. O. Nunn on Wednesday
afternoon to attend the
first flower show of the Warrenton
Garden Club. The language of
the flowers and their intoxicating
fragrance which floated throughout
the home reacted favorably on the
visitors who as they moved from
one room to another gave expressions
of praise and at times reveled
in the beauty of special
plants and the manner in which
they were arranged.
The home of Mrs. Nunn, which
proved ideal for the occasion, was
thrown open to the public at 2
o'clock. The shtidows of night were
forming before the last of the pupils
of nature had been shown
through the rooms cf enchantment.
Guests were met at the door by
Mrs. Nunn and Mrs. W. A. Connell,
president of the Warrenton
Garden Club. In the hospitable
home the many species of flowers
caught their eye, and spontaneous
praise followed for the nrt.ist.ie
Iianner in which they were ar-1
mged. Especially appealing and
t incomparable beauty were the
hadow boxes in old fashioned
rames; the huge nosegay made by
iliss Sue Burroughs; the luncheon
able, arranged by the committee,
ind adorned with a centerpiece
?f silver moon rcses, white candles,
ind old-fashioned nosegays for
?ach guest; breakfast trays, and
ea wagon.
On the porch were minature
gardens, made by children as well
as older people. The ideas expressed
in these were inspiring. A formal
garden arranged on the lawn
by Mr. Lorenze of Wise was showered
with praise. The garden was
terraced and contained 250 box

Sweeping Changes In I
About By Legisla
Outlines ]
Characterizing the reorganization
)f the school system as the most
Irastic the state and county has
;ver known, J. Edward Allen, superintendent
of Warren county
schools, in a letter to committeemen
this week, gave a synopsis of
the scope of the changes, adding
that details were not yet known
jecause the matter had not been
finally closed.
The new school bill, Mr. Allen
pointed out, provides:
1. A school term of eight
months to be operated by the state
without special taxes for its support.
2. The state takes over the
transportation system, and all property
pertaining thereto becomes
state property.
3. All local school districts are
abolished at and by the ratification
cf the law, and the office of
all school committeemen are then
and thereby vacated. All acts relating
to the organization of the
Warren Farmers
Borrow $163,600
From Government
I
A total of $163,630 was distributed
over Warren county this year by
the government to farmers who
applied for loans to finance their
1933 crop, figures tabulated by J.
C. Howard, Government Field Supervisor,
reveal. This money went
to 1734 applicants, the average
loan granted being $94.36.
More applicants applied and more |
loans were granted this year than
the preceding year. Mr. Howard
said that in 1932 there were 13041
loans granted, which represented J
fe total of $149,630 sent into Warren
county by the government.
As this monev beean to flow in- I
to the county stores witnessed a
pickup in trade. April was a comparatively
good month for business
houses at Warrenton, merchants
report.
Borrowers from the government
are restricted in the acreage they
can plant to mcney crops, such as
tobacco and cotton, and the loans
are to be paid back in the fall,
most of them falling due around
the first of November or during
that month. Farmers of this county
made a fine record last year
in repayments to the government
for money advanced to them, Mr.
Howard said.

TAKES APPEAL
Jury Finds Roanoke Rapids
Man Guilty On Reckless
Driving Count
EVIDENCE IN THE CASE
I The verdict of a Recorder's court
I J iu.i. T*r TT ,->-f
jury Lilau W. XX. xiv/x uiiiiigtv/ii
Roanoke Rapids was guilty of reckless
driving on the afternoon of
January 25 when a Buick coupe
driven by him and a sedan operated
by Mrs. F. R. Pegram of
Vaughan crashed on the highway
between Macon and Vaughan and
seriously injured Mrs. Pegram and
her sister, Miss Ruth Perkinson,
who was traveling with her, brought
forth notice of appeal from John
H. Kerr Jr., counsel for the Halifax
man.
The jury deliberated fcr only a
few minutes before returning a
verdict in the case which had been
hard fought all afternoon with
Solicitor Daniels being assisted in
the prosecution by Julius Banzet
and Gilmer Overby, and Mr. Kerr
looking after the interest of Mr.
Northington.
Both sides brought witnesses
into the Hall of Justice to give
their version of a wreck which
brought injuries to all three of
those involved. Mrs. Pegram face
was cut, her hand was seriously
injured and her knee was cut. She
remained unconscious, according
to testimony, from Wednesday until
Friday. Miss Perkinson was injured
cn her head and chin, bruised,
knee hurt. She testified that
she lost two teeth in the collission
and remained in the hospital for
17 days. Mr. Northington said that
he received a cut on his leg and
that his breast bone was broken.
The nature of their injuries were
also testified to by Dr. W. D. Rodgers
and Dr. G. H. Macon, Warrenton
physicians who attended.
According to Mrs. Pegram's version
of the wreck, she was traveling
towards Vaughi,i, about 25 or
30 miles an hour, on the right side
of the road when she saw Northington's
car approaching her. She
said that the car of the Roanoke
Rapids man traveled all the way
across the center mark of the concrete
and crashed into her.
Northington testified that he was
traveling towards Warrenton about
ten or fifteen miles an hour on
the right side of the road when
he saw the car driven by Mrs.
Pegram approaching. He said that
just when Mrs. Pegram saw him
that she swung her car across the
road into the path of his vehicle,
thereby causing the accident.
Following the smash both cars

on Northington's side, with Mrs.
Pegram's car damaged in front and
Northington's car damaged on the
side. The State contended that the
fcrce of the impact sent both automobiles
to Northington's side of
the road.
Sheriff W. J. Pinnell and Deputy
Lawrence Robertson testified
that they went to the scene shortly
after the wreck and by a heavy
mark on the concrete they traced
Northington's car from Mrs. Pegram's
side of the read to where
his vehicle stopped after the collission.
The two officers said that
the skid mark on the concrete indicated
that the car of the Roanoke
Rapids man was 18 inches on
Mrs. Pegram's side of the road.
Macon Thornton, white citizen of
Macon, and Mereland Harris, negro
testified that they saw the mark
and that Northington's car was
clear across the centermark on
Mrs. Pegram's side of the pavement.
J. C. Howard, who with Mrs.
Northington brought Mrs. Pegram
and Miss Perkinson to Warrentcn
for medical attention following the
accident, said that he did not seel
- . - TTn I
ciny SKia-marK on wic iuau> x^v
also testified that he did not look
for any.
Northington said that he was
driving at a very low rate cf speed
due to the fact that he was tired.
The State used this testimony to
convince the jury that he had
fallen asleep and while in the arms
of Morpheus his car strayed into
the path of the women.
Miss Perkinson testified that
she did not notice Mr. Northington's
car approaching. Mr. Kerr
argued that the driver and her
companion were engaged in conversation
and that when Mrs. Pegram
looked up she saw the car
just in front of her and suddenly
swung her vehicle in the wrong
direction.

Knew Nothing Of
Cover Measure
The bill introduced in the House
of Representatives last week by
Representative Cover of Cherokee
county seeking to increase the
membership of the board of education
of Warren county from five
to seven in an effort to defeat the

according to a statement made by
Mr. Dowtin this week at the office
of The Warren Record.
Mr. Dowtin said that efforts had
been made to have him cut the
number of members on this board
from five to three, but that he did
not believe it right to discard citizens
nominated by the people and

such a bill. Later he was requested
to increase the number to seven,
he said, but also refused this request.
The Warren Representative said
at the time that the bill was introduced
by Cover that he had
gone from Raleigh with Swain
Norman of Halifax and knew nothing
about the matter. He added
that he was not acquainted with
the Cherokee representative as
their seats were in different sections
of the House.

Hail And Wind J
Storm Brings Ruin
In Warren County
Hail, rain and wind wrought a ,
path of destruction in northern
Warren and the edge of Virginia
on Monday night. Damage, in so
far as has been reported here, was ;
confined to crops, buildings, roads
and forests.
The storm brewed about 8 o'clock a
and lasted for about an hour. \
Prior to the rain, hail and wind, t
streaks of lightning played across c
the firmament. r
The storm followed the course of t
the Rcanoke River. Hail and heavy (
wind were reported from the Palmer
Springs section to Weldon. ?
The highway force of Warren c
was called from here Monday night t
shortly after 10 o'clock to remove 1
trees that had fallen across the c
roads. Joe Taylcr, road engineer, ?
said that they were clearing trees *
from 10:30 until 12 o'clock on
Monday night, and that a good c
portion of Tuesday morning was ?
required to get the highways pass- t
able. Eighteen or twenty trees, the 1
engineer said, were removed from \
acrcss the roads between Russel j
Palmer's home and Littleton. 1
Wallace Paschall reported here 1
that 250 acres of his wheat had
been destroyed. Oliver Davis said :
that he would have to replant his 1
entire cotton crop. Tin was ripped 1
from several buildings along the 1
wind route. 1
Warrenton escaped the storm but '
the heavy lightning flashes were
apparent to all those who ven- '
tured forth into the night air.

HAIL STORM CAUSES MUCH '
DAMAGE AT P. SPRINGS ?
NORLINA, May 16.?A destruc- <
tive hail storm struck the Palmer 5
Springs, (Va.) section last night
about 8 o'clock and practically de- (
stroyed all growing crops. Wheat 1
that was nearly ripe was ruined. '
The homes of G. L. Hayes and 1
Jim Hendricks suffered from the '
?->f t.bp larce hail stones.

iSeventy windcw panes were broken I:
in the Hayes home. Many other J
homes were damaged. The track of j:
the storm Was about half a mile!
wide and it followed the run ofr

President Tells The L
Purpose Poppy Sale *
The purpose of the poppy sale top
be held here on Saturday, May 27, J'
is set forth in the following article I
given this paper fcr publication by I
Mrs. L. C. Kinsey, president of the J'
Warrenton Chapter of the Ameri-11
can Legion Auxiliary. 11
To America, now going forward |f
in a great drive against the eco-1
nomic enemies which have invaded I j
the country, comes a message frcm!
the men who fifteen years ago!
were giving their lives in defense!
of the country against an armed I (
enemy. It comes in the form of I ^
the little red poppy that we will j j
all be asked to wear on
Day, May 27. It tells us to serve
and sacrifice for our country new
with the same patriotic spirit
that those men served and died
among the poppies in France.
The poppy is a symbol of remembrance
for the World War
dead. Poppies glowing on every
coat on Peppy Day will show that
we still remember and honor the
supreme sacrifice our war dead
made for America. A country which
remembers deeds such as their's
cannot be indifferent to present
calls for patriotic service. As long
as the memory of our heroes is
kept bright Amer.ca can be confident
that heroic service will come
from its citizens in every hour of
need."
PRESENTS PENNY
Miss Elizabeth Boyce, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Boyce of
I Warrenton, brought a penny to the

ways from the penny that is in a

other things, that the 1863 ccin
which she had was much thicker
than the penny of today, it did
not contain the phrase, "E Pluri- I
bus Unum", that the old penny i
contained a different kind of (
wreath, and it did not carry the i
words, "In God We Trust." i
