Davis, former representative from Warren county, was not telling the truth when he insinuated that the grand jury was instructed, or ordered, to take no notice of his charges against the board of county commissioners, C. W. Powell of Wise, member of the Jury, declares in an open letter this week to the editor of The Warren Record. The Grand Jury, Mr. Powell writes, made a careful investigation of charges made by Mr. Davis and of the manner in which the. tax sales had been handled by the board of county commissioners and satisfied Two New Teachers Allotted To John Graham School I Two new teachers in ad-! dition to the list released and published two weeks ago were, assurred for the John Graham High School, Warrenton, upon receipt of teacher allottment deceived from the State school commission this week, it was learned yesterday at the office of Superintendent of Schools J. Edward Allen. Mr. Allen said that one of the teachers to be elected would be a replacement teacher in the high school in place of Miss Katherine Byrd and the other would be an additional teacher in the grammar school. Trustees will select a high school teacher who can assist as a football coach, and a grammar ;rade teacher who can teach a business course in addition to her regular grammar grade duties. Says Judge Kerr Entitle To Praise For Help Given Congressman John H. Kerr is entitled to credit for the valuable as- ( sistance he gave us in our successful efforts to recover funds paid the Federal Government, under the re-capture clause, C. R. Rodwell, Secretary-Treasurer of the Warrenton Rail Road Co., said yesterday sommenting upon 40 per cent dividend paid into the town treasury last week as a result of this refund. Judge Kerr went before the Interstate Commerce Commisson in our behalf and aided in many other ways, Mr. Rodwell said, adding that he thought that Judge Kerr should be given credit for his work. When Chairman Rayburn of the fnterstate Commission appeared before the Congress asking for the refund to a number of smaller railroads of the country, the Warrenton Rail Road Company was used as an illustration of discrimination and Judge Kerr's presentment of their case was largely quoted, Mr. Rodwell said. \\7 F Miiefian i-'l TT A JIT1UOUUIA Goes To Chicago Dr. Wallace F. Mustian left Wednesday for Chicago where he will ?ive a clinic before the Chicago Centennial Dental Congress and the American Dental Association in meeting there.

He added, "If the law fails to allow the commissioners to use common sense in handling! our affairs, it is a curious1 law." ' Mr. Powell says that he would be afraid to make such charge as 1 Mr. Davis made in his article and asks, "Wouldn't Mr. Davis be surprised if he were indicted himself for contempt?" The Wise citizen says that he has been reliably informed that Mr. Davis appeared before the Board of Commissioners and asked that the valuation on his property be reduced I and was told that the law did not1 permit it. Afterwards he began his attacks upon the board, the writer (Continued on Page 4) Squire Carter Assumes Role Of Attorney In Case Roaring with a voice that reverberated throughout the room that there was no man, be he white or black, in the Temple of Justice who would dare attempt to blemish the character of D. M. Burgess, negro. of near Embro charged with an | affray, Magistrate W. T. Carter of I Vaughan assumed the role of attorney in Recorder's court on Monday morning and insisted that the State proceed with the trial of the, defendant even though the prosecuting witness was not present. The State refused the request of. (the magistrate and the case was^ j continued until Monday morning. The case was sent to Recorder's court by Squire Carter after D. M. Burgess had gone before him and confessed that he had cut Eugene Burgess, negro of Panacea Springs, | with a knife after the latter had cursed him and called him a liar. Eugene Burgess had not appeared before Magistrate Carter, and he had not been subpoenaed to be in court Monday morning. Papers have been issued for his appearance next week. When Solicitor Daniels stated that he was unable to proceed with the case against D. M. Burgess due to the fact that Eugene Burgess was not present, Squire Carter be-' gan eulogizing the Embro negro urging and arguing that the trial I nn nn wo hoiri that. Euerene Bur-! 6v/ "w ? gess was in fault and that the court should listen to some evidence J in order that D. M. Burgess might ( be exhonorated of blame. Judge Taylor upheld Solicitor Daniel's opinion and the case was postponed until the following Monday morning. J. W. Carroll, service station operator, was found guilty by a jury on a charge of possessing whiskey. According to evidence, Carroll was arrested by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell and Deputy Lawrence Robertson after he had been seen with a jar 'of whiskey a short distance from his place of business. The officers testified that when the service sta[tion operator saw them he poured the contents of his jar on the ground. Prayer for judgment was continued by Judge Taylor providing he pay the costs in the action. West Palmer, negro, was given a two months suspended sentence on a trespass charge. A civil action growing out of a note given A. P. Brame of Macon | by Harry Kenyon of Macon six or seven years back was dismissed by Judge Taylor for want of jurisdiction.

K li lAbviwV $1.50 a Year Three Ware e Be Opei n Hopes For A Processing Tax On * Tobacco BlastecJ I 3" RALEIGH, Aug. 1?High hopes * . 1. 1- ior a tnree-cent processing tax on x S, flue-cured tobacco this season, the ^ proceeds to be distributed to growers in exchange for acreage curtail- r g ment for next year, were blasted yesterday when leaders in the move'' ment were informed from Washington that there was little prospect of the tax being applied this !(j season. ie At a conference held here last Friday with 25 representative told bacco growers, a group of Federal :y officials headed by C. C. Davis, it production chief in the administra10 tion of the farm adjustment act, id gave indications that the tax might 2- be applied in time to effect this at year's crop of tobacco, which goes on sale in Georgia today and on ze the South Carolina and border of lcj North Carolina markets on August 15 with other North Carolina marj kets opening later. 3. However, further conferences r. have been held in Washington and P. it now is indicated that the tobacco l- manufacturers and buyers for the i- export trade will be expected to it raise prices to growers without the s, compulsion of the process tax except as a threat for next year. >d It 4 estimated that the"*present North Carolina crop will be ap proximately 500,000,000 pounds as ^ compared with the small crop of , 270,000,000 last year. The average price of the crop last ( ;S year was only $11.10 dhd Dr. Clar- C ence Poe, editor of the Progressive t Parmer, George Ross, director of " State owned farms, L. V. Morrill, Jr., of Snow Hill, and others have * )- been active in a movement to se- t cure protection of the federal law ( for this year's large crop. Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace, who was here early ^ ie last week, indicated that it would n be posible for tobacco growers to come within the law and the conJ~ ference last Friday was held in an Cl t- effort to agree upon some plan n which would include the appoint- B ment of an administrator for to- g bacco similar to those already ap- g 3. pointed for cotton and other com1 modities. y g It is expected that something Ci will be worked out for tobacco for b the 1934 season but unless present e indications change there will be no processing tax levied on this year's e J. crop. e n Negro Convict IS v.
