The two men aboard leaped off the truck with fire extinguisheis in an attempt to put out the blaze but were unsuccessful. Assisted by Dortch they pulled the occupants out. The car was virtually destroyed by fire, though it did not overturn from the impact. A can of gasoline is said to have been i:a the car and exploded. Dortch reports that the car was alone on the highway at the time it left the read. Indications at the scene of the wreck led Coroner Petar, who conducted an investigation, to be'.ieve that the woman drove the car off the edge of the highway on the right and when she suddenly tried to pull back to the hard surface, the machine left the road on the left. Five persons were in the car at the time of the accident. The three adults were in the seat of the car and Mrs. Ratcliffe was holding her aaby.

IRRENTON, COUNTY OF W, WARREN HAY GET FORESTRY CAMP A" Efforts Beii?g Made To Have Camp Located In County; Co-operation Promised SAYS CHANCE IS GOOD Chances are that one of the reforestation camps which are being established throughout the country under the authorization of President Roosevelt fcr the purpose of giving work to the unemployed through conserving and developing the natural resources will be located in Warren ccunty. There are six of these camps to be located in Eastern North Carolina and yesterday afternoon Jesse Gardner, head of Warren's Relief Bureau cf the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and E. Hunter Pinnell, Forest Warden, said that Warren county stood a mighty good chance of being designated as one or the places ior one or the six i camps. Both Mr. Pinnell and Mr. Gard. ner pointed out that the one and only apparent obstacle that stands between Warren and the camp is the fact that this county has discontinued its appropriation for fire C prevention. These men said that the government will not locate a camp i in any section where the county (1 does not cooperate in preserving the y forests. a The appropriation for fighting t fires has been discontinued by the i county commissioners in the name ,1 of economy, but it was stated yesi terday that the commissioner's had been interviewed and a majority of ii them had expressed a willingness y to grant the money for a Forest e | Warden provided that a reforestao (tion camp would be located in the . ccunty. Efforts are being made to have I one of the camps located in this . | county on account of the fact that 3 in addition to protecting the for6 ests it will mean more unemployed _' men will be given work and thous_! ands of dollars will be turned e loose in this section. -?' 3 J These camps are made up of 200 _1 men between the ages of 18 and x' 25 years and a number of officers, o Including both officers and men 6 the camp should consist of from i oik +rv osn mpn it was estimated. { aau ww ?wv -- a They receive $30 a month for their o work, however a portion of each t man's salary is to be sent to de| pendent relatives, whether they live j in the county in which a camp is . 1 located or elsewhere. I Mr. Gardner said yesterday that 5 should this county receive a camp he was of the opinion that it would 5) | be located between Warrenton and n : Hollister. He and Mr. Pinnell said n | that the men would be employed e 1 in clearing debris, planting and e thinning timber stands, and cut.

C. Howard, government field inspector, reveal. This money was distributed among 187 growers. Four hundred ninety-seven acres are being cultivated in cantaloupes with the money sent into Warren by the government. The average loan to the cantaloupe grower amounted to $106.70. 'me average loan 10 iarmers other than cantaloupe growers was $94.36. Mr. Howard said that the amount allowed the two classes of producers varied due to the fact that the government was more lenient towards those who stirred themselves to get away from raisSuperior Court Jury Returns Verdict In Favor Northington Criminal procedure in the May term of Warren county Superior court was closed last Saturday about noon after a jury had returned a verdict that W. H. Northington of Roanoke Rapids was not guilty of reckless driving. The jury returned its verdict after deliberation of about half an hour and then court adjourned until this week when civil action was commenced. Northington was tried as a result of a wreck that occurred on the afternoon of January 25 when a Buick coupe driven by him and a sedan operated by Mrs. P. 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, and left Northington- with a cut on his leg and broken breast bone. The case was tried in Recorder's court- here on Monday Aorning, May 15, and a jury of the lower tribunal decided that the Roanoke Rapids man was responsible for the accident. An appeal was noted by | John H. Kerr Jr., attorney for j Northington, and the action was I carried to Superior court. Julius Banzet and Gilmer Overby assisted in the prosecution. The case was hard fought. Mrs. Pegram contended that Northington cut across in front of J her vehicle and caused the accident. Northington testified that Mrs. Pegram cut across in front of him and thereby brcught about1 j the wreck.

Prospects are favorable for a good cantaloupe crop this year, Mr. Howard said. He pointed out that when the cantaloupes were first planted a cold snap occurred and in some instances the crop had to be planted again but said that fact would probably -prove an advantage to the producers inasmuch as their vines would be yielding over a longer period of time than if they had all been planted at the same period. Cantaloupes are expected to begin moving to the markets about the middle of July. Some of them, perhaps, will be ripe befcre that time but it is not expected that they will be shipped in any large quantity before the middle or last of July. Powell Points Out Conditions of New Marriage Laws Affidavits to be signed by those seeking marriage are being printed this week for Joseph C. Powell, Register of Deeds for Warren county. Mr. Powell pointed out that many are not familiar with the law recently passed permitting couples to be united in holy wedlock without undergoing a physical examination and requested this newspaper to enlighten the people of the county on the subject. The law, which was passed in the General Assembly on the 10th day of April, 1933, provides: "Section 1. That the Register of Deeds cf the several counties of the State shall require, before issuing a marriage license, that the groom shall file with him an affidavit setting forth that he does not have active Tuberculosis or any Venereal disease, and has not had either of said diseases for a period of two years prior thereto. The affidavit must be signed by the maker and sworn to before the Register -e-f-Deeds or any, oth?r person authorized to administer oaths; provided, however, that when the affidavit is made before the Register of Deeds, he shall not make any charge therefor. "The applicant, in lieu of making affidavit as herein set out, may file a Certificate of health as provided by law before a passage of this act. "Sec. 2. That upon the applicant complying with either of the provisions of the foregoing section the Register of Deeds may issue a license to marry, provided the contracting parties are otherwise /wnoiifio/} marrv according to ^uumivu ww w law, provided further, that the bride shall not be required to stand a physical examination. ''Sec. 3. That this act shall be in force from and after its ratification." Forest Fire Damage Near $3,000 Mark During Past Year Damage of $2,946 occurred from fcrest fires in this county during the fiscal year of 1932-33, statistics compiled by L. A. Carter, district warden, reveal. In the fall of 1932, these figures show, there were nine fires over an area of 168 acres that brcught damage amounting to $170. In the spring of 1933, 58 fires did damage of $2,776 over an area of 1,299 acres, bringing the total number of fires to 67 and the total damage to $2,946. Statistics compiled over a period of four years, from 1929 to 1933, reveal that although there were more fires in the fiscal year of 1932-33 than any other time during the four year period except 1931-32, the area burned was less, which resulted in a decrease in total damage. The erection of a fire tower in the county was given ^ as a cause for the decrease in area burned and smaller damages. The statistics for the four fiscal years shew: 1929-30?No. fires 61, area burned 2,039 acres, damage $5,127, average 1 j.

Mr. Bright says that the interest rate is low and the plan of paying back the loan is liberal. His article fellows: "I have had several insuiries concerning loans made by the loan agencies recently set up. I received this information this morning and will give briefly an outline of the acts. "We have three types of loans and several different sub-heads under each. The first and the most important is the loans to be made by the Farm Loan Commissioner. Types of loans made under this act are: "1. Tc refinance indebtedness of farmers. "2. To provide working capital for farm operations. "3. To redeem or purchase foreclosed farm property. "The interest rate is low and the plan of paying back this loan is very liberal. "The Federal Land Banks are authorized to exchange first mortgages for Federal Farm Loan Bonds. This act is intended to make the assets of the land bank more liquid. "The Federal Land Banks are | authorized to make more liberal j loans and also to be mere lenient with the borrowers. "I will be glad to help anyone . get any information concerning j these loans. I will also help in securing application blanks.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 23 LAWYERS BATTLE OVER NOTE CASE Holding! Corporation Sues Trustees of Wise Special School District CASE IS HARD FOUGHT Lawyers were late yesterday afternoon presenting their arguments before a jury to determine whether Dr not the Security Holding Corporation of Henderson should recover the sum of $2341.70, plus interest from 1908, upon a note given in that year to J. R. Paschall by the board of trustees of the Wise Special School district, in an action entitled "Security Holding Corporation vs. the Trustees of the Wise Special School district. Interest on this note is more than $3,000. The case ,was called Wednesday morning as the first cn the civil docket of the May term of Superior court and has been hard fought with an array of legal talent composed of Charles Katzenstein of New York, J. H. Kerr Jr. and. Hicks and Bridgers of Henderson for the plaintiff, and Polk and Gibbs and Julius Banzet fcr the defendants. Judge Paul Prizelle is presiding. He was scheduled to ppen court here Monday morning by virtue of an exchange with Judge Prank Daniel who ruled over the criminal docket last week. Due to the fact that Judge Frizelle was detained on account of court duties at Lillington he was not able to reach Warrenton before Wednesday. The note given to Mr. Paschall by the trustees of the Wise Special school district in 1908 was transferred to the Security Holding Corporation of Henderson by Mr. Paschall the latter part of 1932. The plaintiff contends that it is a good and valid note, given under seal and that payments made cn the note have kept it in force. Such payments have not been made, the defendants contend, and are pleading the statute of limitation. The law provides that the statute of limitation runs for three years on note not given under seal and 1 10 years on note given under seal. Mr. Paschall said that at the time that the note was given that the district was in debt to the state and that he agreed not to push his claim until such debt was reduced provided that the board would not plead statute of limitation. He further claimed that after the legislature of 1931 abolished the high school at Wise that he was persuaded to become a member of the present Board of Trustees in order to aid in regaining a high school for this district. He said that a condition of his acceptance was that the trustees would not plead statute of limitation upon his note. Members of the board of trustees said that they invited Mr. Paschall to become a member of the board, but made no such promise as alleged by Mr. Paschall. Defense attorneys claim that such waver of rights would have to be in writing to be valid. Plaintiff attorneys held that such was not the case. The note is dated March 23, 1908. It shows a credit of $344.75 on April 10, 1908, a credit of $10 in January, 1915, and a third credit of $75 in 1928. Mr. Paschall said that in 1928 $75 was paid him by Mrs. C. W. Perkinson in payment of a pledge for school purposes made in 1928 and found In the papers cf Mr. Perkinson after his death. He said that, acting as fiscal x XI L?J V?? fVlio client OI LUC UUdlU) lie ticuib^u vin? amount to his note. The defense attorneys attempted to show that Mr. Paschall was not a fiscal agent of the board at the time and therefore had no power to make such credit. C. C. Perkinson, secretary of the board, said that he had been a member c< the board since 1920 and that Mr. Paschall was not appointed fiscal agent during that time. The plaintiff attorneys contended that Mr. Paschall was given such powers prior to tnat time, and since they had - *- 1 ?? ? ?nAWA 1m ftffortf of not oeeu i evuR.tr u m ?KV? u? the time the credit was given. J. Edward Allen, superintendent of schools in Warren county, testified that last July when the note was presented to the board cI education for payment that he saw that the note had credits for 1908' and 1915 and that such credits were recorded in the minutes of the board of education of that day. He said he did net observe a credit made in 1928. C. W. Cole, member of the board of trustees of the Wise school, and J. H. Bridgers, member of the Security Holding Corporation, testified that such credit was shown on the note.
