Aug. 24.?Some time, perhaps in the near future, cotton acreage reduction figures probably will have to be revised, for G. C. Rowland, Sumter banker, has developed a five-lock-boll cotton to take thp place of the usual fourlock boll. In addition, the new type is an early and blight-proof variety and weighs approximately 30 per cent more than the common staple. Like a romance is the five-year story of Rowland's painstaking efforts to produce the new type which he says produces more cotton to the same amount of work and fertilizer. Rowland, who has combined farming with his duties as presi-j dent of the National Bank of South' Carolina of Sumter, first noticed a five-lock boll of cotton five years ago while walking through one of I his fields. He searched the fields and, with considerable effort, located several more. He offered pickers a premium for such bolls and finally he secured quite a number. During that winter Rowland and his family picked the seed by hand, a system relegated when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in (Continued on page 2) Highway Body Calls For Bids On Warren Project Two and ninety-eight one-hundreds miles of concrete on U. S. Highway No. 1 were among the projects upon which the State Highway Commission called for bids j rm Rntnrdav. according to a news story from Raleigh. Bids will be] opened on August 29. The stretch of road from Warrenton to Elberon, approved tor surfacing at a recent meeting of the State Highway Commission, was not among the roads listed for construction bids on Saturday. Howard Out Of Town Next Week J. C. Howard, government field inspector, will be out of Warrenton most of next week. He expects to j be back in the county Friday or Saturday. Mr. Howard said yesterday that: he had been ordered to import at Kinston for the opening of the j tobacco market on Monday. He will instruct a bunch of new field men there in regard to collecting money for the government from those farmers who have secured loans and are selling their tobacco. Further Advance In Weed Price Hoped ' We are work on plans that we hope will bring about further improvement in the tobacco price situation this year and also improvement next year," says J. B. Hutson, chief of the tobacco division of the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Hutson wrote further: "We shall leave nothing undone that can be done under the agricultural adjustment act to bring price above the parity level. We are conferring with growers of other types this week and next week we discuss the plans for all cigarette types with the leading buyers of these types." Hotel Receivership Hearing Continued The question of a receivership for Hotel Warren, scheduled to be held before Judge Parker at Roanoke Rapids on last Saturday, was postponed until tomorrow, pending working out reorganization plans by the Town of Warrenton, largest stockholder. It is probable that a further postponement will be ordered, as town officials have not been able to get in fouch with all interested parties, it is said. Mrs. John Kerr Jr. is visiting her parents at Richmond, Va. Mrs. Laura Bizzell and Mrs. O. E.

W. Taylor bv Solicitor Cromwell Daniel. The charge of assault with an automobile occupied the greater portion of the morning session of court as Julius Banzet of Warrenton and the Gholson brothers of Henderson clashed frequently over the nature of questions one another asked and the answers that were forthcoming from the witnesses that testified in connection with an automobile wreck that occurred at Ridgeway on August 6 when A. C. Wiggins attempted to pass Eaton Williams. As a result of the collission, which brought about injuries to Gilbert Hight, passenger of Wiggins, Williams was arranged before the court on a charge of assault. Later a bill of indictment accusing him of hit and run was drawn. Wiggins and Hight testified that the automobile they were traveling in was running between 20 and 30 miles an hour when they came up behind the car being driven by I Williams. They said that Williams j gave a left turn signal and was pulling his vehicle in that direction when they attempted to pass him on the right. As their car was passing, both testified, Williams pulled back to the right of the road and the cars contacted, causing Wiggin's car to leave the highway and take a ditcn. Hight received a two or three inch gash across the right side of his face as a result of the accident. (He was picked up and rushed to a I Henderson hospital. Wiggins and Hight stated that Williams did not offer to give any assistance in connection with the wreck and resulting injury, that he drove away without giving his name or license number. j Williams' version of the accident was this: He said that he was on his way to church with his father, (Continued on Page 21 B.

Relief Expenditures Show A Decrease RALEIGH, Aug. 23.?Total relief expenditures in North Carolina (during July were $658,665, according to a statement made public today by Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, administrator. This sum represents a decrease of approximately 37 per cent as compared with $928,468 spent during June. Only $63,000 of July's expenditures, or less than 9 per cent, were provided by the city and county governments involved, the remainling $522,388 coming from the Fedleral government.

P In June, foreign commerce resulted in an unfavorable trade balance . of approximately $2,500,000, with j. exports of $119,809,000 and imports of $122,263,000. June was the only . month this year the United States t failed to have a favorable balance. In the first seven months of 1933 i foreign trade, while below a year ago, resulted in exports of $814,341,000 and imports of $735,195,000. This was a decrease of $132,501,000 of exports and a drop of $91,012,000 r in imports as compared with the ^ same period last year. 1( c PERSONAL MENTION c Mrs. Phil Allen returned Wed- t nesday after visiting relatives in r Oxford for ten days.

O. ichaub, director of the cotton reliction campaign in North Carona, was advised last night. Mr. Schaub was informed that he checks would be prepared at he rate of 30,000 a day for the irst few days after which the rate /ould be stepped up to 50,000 a ay. At this rate all checks will e cleared by September 22, it was aid. All the contract acceptances re re mailed to producers from Vashington by the close of the ast week, except a few about rhich there was some controversy r irregularity. Those producers ?ho have not received their aceptances should take up the mater with the local farm agent who, a turn, may secure a duplicate cceptance from Washington. Mr. Schaub was not advised exctly when checks would begin to ome into this state but thought hey would be mailed in the order i which approved contracts were eceived in Washington. He said pproximately three million dollars i cash would be distributed in Forth Carolina between now and eptember 22. The dean was further advised hat those few North Carolina cotan growers who have failed to omply with the terms of the conract which they made with the Secretary of Agriculture, and did lot plow up their cotton prior to Vednesday may find themselves acing serious difficulties before the latter is finally closed. A telegram from C. A. Cobb, overnmental chief of the cotton djustment program, confirmed he fact that county farm agents nd local committeemen are exacted to enforce the cotton adustment contracts where certain roducers have not complied with he terms outlined in their conracts. Only where weather conitions or other causes beyond the ontrol of the producer prevented otton destruction will leniency be xtended. Mr. Cobb said official iotice should be 6erved on those ho have failed to fulfill their ontracts and that the Secretary f Agriculture is empowered to act 1 ' 4- ~ OAV*fvO of naer section ieu ui me muw?w. The secretary may then require he county farm agents to have he cotton destroyed and deduct 11 expenses of doing so from the iroducer's check. It is expected also that the lames of those who have failed to ulfill their contracts will be pubished so that neighbors and other otton growers may know who ailed to co-operate after pledging hemselves to do so. Tobacco Curing In Better Condition This year's tobacco crop in Waren county is curing out in the iest condition and finest quality eaf of any in recent seasons, acording to those in touch with the rop, and the same condition is rue in some neighboring counties, onorfs reaching here say. Recent rains have worked a coniderable transformation in the naturity of the crop and have irought it around into fine quality. Curing is still in progress, and ew farmers, if any at all, have as ret finished the harvest. The najor portion of the crop will not >e housed much before the first of September. The good quality of the weed iow being cured out is the basis or optimism oh the part of grcw>rs, and if a fair price is received or the year's crop it will mean the ifting of many obligations on the >art of the growers. The season in the Middle Belt ipens on Auesday, September 19. ri) : ... \;^4 ? ?? :ription Price, y<.50 a Year Young Vance County Girl Victim Of An Attack HENDERSON, Aug. 24. ? Miss Mary Lena Van Dyke. 16-year-old farm girl, was cut and knocked into a dazed condition late today by two Negroes who sought to forct her to tell where her father keeps his money on his farm eight miles south of here. Possemen, led by county authorities, were searching tonight for the Negroes. Miss Van Dyke, In a hospital here, was unable to give an accurate description of her attacktrs but said one was short and the other tall. Bloodhounds were brought here from Enfield about midnight and were unleashed to aid in the search. The girl was brought here by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alf Van Dyke. She was examined by Dr. W. H. Furman and two other phy sicians at a Henderson hospital. TlW reported she had been cut or the left arm and left leg, apparently with a pocket knife, that her mouth was swollen from being gagged and she had suffered a blow in the stomacn. Miss Van Dyke, at home with younger brothers and sisters, said she went to feed her father's hogs late today. As she leaned over to pour out a pail of swill, two Negroes grabbed her and dragged her into a nearby wood. She said she screamed and the Negroes threatened to kill her if she did not hush. When one of them asked her where her father kept his money, she told them she did not know and then, she said, one of the men struck her a severe; blow in the stomach. She apparently lost consciousness. Two hours later ner parents returned and a search was begun for her. She was found near the house wandering around in the woods. Dr. Furman said she was apparently dazed by the blow in the stomach. Her parents bsought her here ant she remained in the hospital tonight. Her physician said she was in a highly nervous state tonight. Dog, Belived To m m l ni Be Mad, Is Shot A dog, believed to have been mad, was shot Tuesday at the home of Mrs. E. C. Price in north Warrenton after the animal had sprung a fit and chased Miss Martha Reynold Price behind a tree. Miss Price had gone out of her home into the yard to chase the dog from the premises when she noticed that the canine was acting peculiarly?apparently out of his right senses. As the dog started towards Miss Price he flung a fit and she fled behind a tree and began sending shouts to the house for the door to be opened. Neighbors and officers gathered during tne commotion which lasted until Chief M, M. Drake sent a bullet through the body of the canine. No Invitations To Heroes Of South ATLANTA, Aug. 23.?The confederate veterans have no place to go for this year's reunion. Here it is harvest time again j and they simply haven't been invited definitely to "jine up" at- an encampment. And it's the first time since Appamatox that they haven't been asked to a party. They understand?the few who remain. It takes money to hold reunions and money is scarce right now?almost as scarce as it was I when they came home after the war. their fields bleak and their j covenant crushed. There'll be a little business meet here September 6-7 and a handful of veterans?enough to hold the organization together?private families will care for some. Others will go to the home for old soldiers. It is the best plan possible says Gen. Harry Rene Lee. adjutant to the commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans. General Lee says Houston, Texas, Charleston. S. C., and Durham, N. C.. asked the veterans to be their guests this year. The expected appropriations from their legislatures for the party did not come, so there will be no party. Last year the soldiers met in Richmond where their government collapsed. There was talk then that it was the last bivouac of the army. If it were the last, it is good that it was held in Virginia where the confederacy made its final gesture for independence. MOST OF THE NEWS TIME NUMBER 35 STORM CAUSES^ CROP DAMAGE Reports of Extensive Crop Damage Reaches Here From All Section FALLEN WIRE KILLS COW Reports of extensive crop damage have reached here from all sections of Warren following the severe wind storm which swept through this section early Wednesday morning with sufficient velocity to put power line* out of commission and tear limbs from trees. Warrenton was without lights from Wednesday 7:30 _ ? ?'i.: l j -i _ >~l l. ct. III., UIllll itruunu J. U ClOCK. in the afternoon as linesmen set up poles and repaired broken wires from one end of the county to the other. The same condition, it is understood, prevailed at Littleton and Henderson. Although the wires were repaired sufficiently to give power and lights by early noon, the linesmen were kept busy with their work until around 3 o'clock yesterday morning. While the power was off activities in a number of business houses were at a complete standstill, and due to the rough weather which prevailed throughout the day little business was transacted by the stores. While powermen were on the lines, those working for the highway were on the roads clearing limbs and in a few instances trees which had blown down across the highways. A number of limbs were wrung from trees in the yards of Warrentonians and Main street here caught several limbs and branches. The only report of a death ? connection with the storm to reach here was that of a cow at Norlina. The animal was electrocuted when a high tension wire fell across the fence to which she was tied.

Farmers report that their corn was swept to the ground and that their tobacco and cotton were damaged considerably. Some of the corn, they say, will straighten but instances where there are a lot of ears on the stalk it will continue to lean towards the ground and the corn will not ripen. The consensus of opinion is that the tobacco and cotton did not suffer as much as the corn. Gardens and fruit trees were also injured by the heavy wind. The storm began brewing here early Tuesday night but did not become of near hurricane intensity ""Hi WflHnncrfav mnminc about 7 UilUli T? 0, o'clock. The strong wind was accompanied by rain which continued until late yesterday afternoon. HAMPTON ROADS AREA SWEPT BY STORM NORFOLK, Va., August 23.?The Hampton Roads area and nearby resorts was swtpt by the most disastrous northeast storm on record here today, forcing hundreds of persons to flee from high . tides backed in by winds of hurricane force. Cottages at Willoughby and in some sections of Orean View were flooded and at Virginia Beach the tide was swirling five feet deep along Atlantic Avenue, the principal street. Calls were sent to the Navy and the Coast Guard for the rescue of about 100 persons who ' ' In tho fpprv tpr nau icift.cn iciugt at* w..v ?w..# ? mlnal at Willoughby and cottages nearby. Water was as much as six feet deep in some of the cottages and tides, gathering force from the storm, were terrific. At Virginia Beach 350 persons took refuge in the Cavalier Hotel as water forced them to flee their ocean-front houses. Other families went to the second floors of -.heir homes and were left without food when the tide cut off retreat. The only fatality reported was the drowning of Oscar Dockery, of Norfolk, who went down late yesterday while attempting to tow ft skiff ashore. Every form of business and industrial activity in Norfolk was demoralized and the city was cut off (from communication by rail, bu? (Continued on Page 8)
