Aarrenton And Littleton Ci(t
izen Differ Over Location |
Of Proposed Highway
ACTION IS POSTPONED
Differences in opinion between
a delegation of Lit;leton
citizens and citizens
)f Warrenton as to where a
proposed bridge over the
Roanoke river should be located
turned a quiet session
)f the board of county commissioners
into a more or
ess hectic one here on Wedlesday
morning.
The commissioners were meeting
n called session for the purpose
>f considering recommendations
or feeder roads to be worked with
pecial funds provided by the fed;ral
government, when a delegaion
of Littleton citizens appeared.
Spokesmen offered resolutions to
>e signed by the commissioners
isking that a proposed highway
rom Louisburg through Warrenton
/O Lawrenceville, Va., follow the
-littleton highway to Vaughan, turn
101th at that point and cross the
toanoke at Eaton's Ferry.
After brief discussion, the comnissioners
passed an order adoptng
the resolutions. The Littleton
lelegation returned home.
Shortly afterwards, Mayor Frank
I. Gibbs of Warrenton appeared
>efore the board, stating that he
iad been informed of the resolution
.nd asking that no definite action
ie taken until a Warrenton comaittee
which had been working on
his project was given an opportulity
to be heard. The commissioners
greed to the Mayor's proposition
nd within a few minutes he
irought in H. A. Moseley, C. R.
todwell, W. N. Boyd and other inerested
citizens. . ..v
These gentlemen pointed out that'
he commissioners had already sent
resolution to the State Highway
tommission asking that this road
e constructed along the shortest
nd most feasible route to Lawenceville.
They said that if the
Dute requested by the Littleton
itizens was in the judgment of the
ighway officials the shortest and
lost feasible route for the proosed
highway, they had no ob:ction
to it being so routed,
ointing out that a dispute over
outes had delayed the construction
f the Warrenton-Louisburg road |
or three years, they asked that,'
othing be done to hinder the con- i
truction of the Lawrenceville road.'
Jlaiming that the state and federal.
uthorities would locate the road
.'here they wanted to, they asked
hat the commissioners take no acion
other than requesting that it
ie constructed as early as possible.
The commissioners voted to re- [
pen its previous motion and to
ake no action upon the Littleton
letition until such time as a meetng
could be called to give all paries
an op]x>rtunity to be heard, j
)ate of such meeting was not set. j

Sordid Story Is
Revealed In County
Court Monday
A sordid story of immorality
came to light in Recorder's court
on Monday morning when a woman,
two white men, and a negro
were brought before Judge W. W.
Taylor to face charges growing out
'of licentious conduct for two days '
and two nights last week. Another
woman was in the party but her ,
whereabouts are unknown to offi- cers.
i
The party got on the distorted :
I primrose path of dalliance at Nor- <
jlina Sunday afternoon and con- '
Itinued riotious living until Tuesday
when one of the men slipped away 1
from his woman and left her with !
the negro driver and the other J
couple was arrested in a cabin at
the Oasis beer garden between i
Norlina and the Virginia Line. 1
The defendants brought into i j
court Monday morning to face i
charges of possessing whiskey, op- (
erating an automobile while under i
the influence of whiskey, and occupying
a public inn for immoral ;
purposes were Roy Savage, Sidney1 <
Stegall, Virginia Burnett and Nolan i
Smith, the latter being a negro. A j
capais has been issued for Velma
Burnett, the other woman in the (
party. I
The only charge against the (
negro was for possessing whiskey. 1
He was sentenced to jail for two <
days on that count, but another i ]
warrant is in the hands of Sheriff j;
Pinnell ordering him held until the j i
whereabouts of Velma Barnett are <
learned. She was last seen with
Smith.
Both Savage and Stegall were
fined $50 and coort costs and given ]
six months road sentences for op- j
erating an automobile while un- (i
der the influence of whiskey. The <
road sentences were suspended upon ]
both of them provided they pay (
their fines and costs and remain ]
of good behavior for a period of ]
two years. ]

REDUCTION PLAN
PROVES SUCCESS
Bright Says Telegram For
Farmers To Begin Plowing
Up Cotton Expected
1170 FARMERS SIGN UP
Indications are that the
government's plan to reduce
cotton acreage has been a
success.
Bob Bright, who is managing
the campaign in this
county, said yesterday that
he was expecting a telegram
at any time now authorizing
him to notify the farmers
of Warren to plow up
that part of their cotton
they had agreed to destroy
in the event the plan was
put across.
Although official figures showing
the total amount of acreages offered
in the sixteen states participating
in the plan are not available,
farm administrators at
Washington termed the campaign
a success when it came to a close
at midnight Wednesday.
Provided the plan is declared a
success by Secretary Wallace and
Mr. Bright receives a wire to that
effect, 1170 farmers in this county
will be notified to destroy the 4005
acres of cotton which they agreed
to plow up if the plan was acceptable
to the government.
Farmers of this county will receive
over $100,000 for co-operating
with the government in the
plan, it was estimated. As the cotton
begins to go under the soil the
government will begin mailing
checks aggregating $47,947 into this
county. Twelve thousand one hundred
dollars of this amount goes
to farmers who accepted the cash
payment plan without option.
Thirty-five thousand eight hundred
and thirteen dollars are to be
paid to those farmers who accept
ed the cash payment plan witn options.
In addition options were
taken on 2003 bales of cotton at 6
cents a pound. At the present
price of cotton this would mean a
profit to farmers of about $60,000,
cringing the total sum received
nere to around $107,000.
Mr. Bright said that although
!he campaign officially closed Wednesday
at midnight, that if there
were any farmers who had been
overlooked or not given a chance
to participate in the plan they
might be given an opportunity to
sign one of the acreage reduction
contracts.
The committee in charge of the
work in this county had reached
about 65 per cent of its quota
when the campaign closed Wednesday
night. Wednesday was a
banner day for those working; to
reduce acreage. A little better
;han 600 acres were contracted to
lo under the plow that day.
COTTON REDUCTION
CAMPAIGN CLOSES
WASHINGTON, July 12.?The
:ampaign to reduce cotton acreage
his year in 16 states was brought
o a close at midnight with the
irst major acreage control effort
if farm administrators described
,s a success.
Secretary Wallace said that in
lis opinion when all returns have
ieen received, "it will show that
he south has made one of the
reatest demonstrations of intelllent
and unified action in the hisory
of American agriculture."
May Exceed Quota
Official figures showing the acrege
offered to date were not availble
but it was said unofficially
hat the aggregate otter to farmrs
might greatly exceed their
riginal goal of 10 to 11 million
,cres.
However, the adnflnistrators are
;ss interested in acreage than in
he assurance that the acres to he
ilowed up will substantially reduce
his year's potential crop.
Administrators were confident
hat the crop would be reduced * ;
,000,000 bales with some prospect
hat the figures might be closer to
,000,000. ;
It was said that the 2,400,000
ales of government held cotton
ised as options for the plan might
.11 be required to meet contracts
igned by growers.
