The tax rate in the Warrenton Special School district was raised from the 37 cents set out in the tentative budget to 44 cents. This was found to be necessary due to error in valuations furnished the Board of Education for making up the district school budget for the year 1933-34. Commissioner John L. Skinner, who was not present at the meeting on August 14, when the tentative budget was approved, said that he wanted his vote recorded in (Continued on page 2) Macon Delegation Dissatisfied With Election of Teacher Dissatisfaction with the. election of a teacher for the j Macon school was expressed by a delegation of Macon citizens before a meeting of the Board of Education here on Monday, with a request that the board ta|e action in the matter. >'V "A delegation of citizens from Macon district, No. 6," according to the minutes of the proceedings of the board, "requested the Board of Education to request the Macon district school committee to review i the action of said committee in I selecting Miss Emily Milam as a high school teacher in the Macon High school to fill the place formerly held by Mrs. J.

Gibbs has been taking rats to ride for the past weeks came j to light when he carried his car to a service station to have it lubricated and the squeaks removed. At the service station Laurie Beddoe applied oil and grease on the mayor's chariot, but the squeaks, or disturbing noise, continued. He became suspicious and started an investigation. Under the body of the car the service station man found a rat's nest with five or six young rodents squirming therein. He removed the nest and reported the matter to the mayor. Seaman Declines Serve As Melmber Of Town Board Peter G. Seaman declined to accept the appointment as member of the Board of Town Commissioners made by the city board at its regular meeting here on Monday and the board continues to be one member shy. Mr. Seaman was elected a member after John G. Tarwater had sent the board a letter from South Carolina, where he is on the tobacco market, expressing his regrets that he would be unable to serve as a member of the board. Mr. Tarwater was elected to the position after W. Pryor Rodwell resigned for business reasons. Mr. Rodwell was nominated Commissioner in the primary this summer when the entire old board, with the exception of H. W. Rodwed, was swept from office. The town charter calls for seven commissioners.

According to Mrs. Ellis' story, she was getting ready to close her place of business when an automobile drove up containing two men and one of them, remarking that he wanted a pack of cigarettes, went into the store. The other followed to the store porch. The engine of the car was left running. As she turned to go behind the counter the first robber grabbed her, demanded her money and snatched a sack containing $12 in change from her hand. He poked a gun in her face and told her if she screamed he would kill her. Monkey Pulls I ^s.1 * o 1 m Check from anirt Pocket Of Hicks Tasker Hicks was robbed by a | monkey on Wednesday. I The robbery took place at Charlie Powell's service station at Wise when the animal leaped on the man, tore his shirt and removed a check from his shirt pocket. Hicks said that he was unaware J of the robbery until he reached home and looked for the check to make a deposit. Finding the paper gone, he returned to the service station and began questioning several people who had been present when the animal leaped on him. No one had seen the robbery and the owner of the monkey said that he did not know anything about it. The crowd treked to the monkey cage where the check was found torn into small particles. The monkey had to be whipped back before he would depart with the scraps of paper. Roy Long was on Thursday sentenced to the roads for a period of 30 days by Magistrate Macy Pridgen for assaulting Mrs. Long. % rin ription Pricp " V)V,v/A rp St?^? 1 T7 lGaacco l<a: Meet H< Roosevelt Promises His Help In Wire To Ehringhaus RALEIGH, Sept. 7.?President P. D. Roosevelt has given Governor John C. B. Ehringhaus personal assurance of administration support in securing better prices for fluecured tobacco. In a telegram made public on Thursday by the Governor; President Roosevelt expressed regret that due to his late arrival in Washington he was unable to see Governor Ehringhaus and the committee of delegates Tuesday then in the capital seeking assistance of the federal government in the tobacco crisis. Governor Ehringhaus plans to issue a proclamation before Monday, calling upon all interested citizens to offer their services in the signup campaign. Warehousemen have a'ready placed their organizations at the disposal of county agents in the whirlwind drive. According to crop estimates on bright leaf, flue-cured tobacco, J compiled by the State Depaitlnent of Agriculture, wortn Carolina tobacco growers should benefit to the tune of almost $8,000,000 in tne emergency price-improve'ment program launched here Wednesday. WALLACE ANNOUNCES PLAN FOR FLUE CURED TOBACCO A production adjustment plan for the 1934 flue-cured tobacco crop will be put into operation as soon as details of the program are worked out. This was announced today by Secretary Wallace and Administrators George N. Peck and Charles J. Brand, following a conference with Chester C. Davis, director of the production division, Agricultural Adjustment Administration. .. Secretary Wallace also announc-. f (Continued on Page 8) 1 Up Ellis Store; 112; Dress Is Ripped ruggle; Escape In Car The man on the porch said if she came out he would shoot her. Both men had pistols and their faces covered with cloths, Mrs. Ellis said. As Mrs. Ellis struggled and screamed for help, the robber ran his hand down into Mrs. Ellis' bosom where she was carrying a pocketbook containing $100 in bills. The upper part of her clothes were torn off in the struggle. Her hand was bruised and scratched where she struck the robber's gun. The struggle carried Mrs. Ellis and the robber near the door. He snatched the pocketbook and ran out. Both men jumped into the car which disappeared north at a rapid fate of speed as neighbors, aroused by Mrs. Ellis' cries, rushed up. Night police officer C. E. Lovell was notified oy telephone shortly after the robbery. He got in touch with Sheriff W. J. Pinnen who went to the scene of the crime. It is believed that the robbery was conducted by persons familiar with the fact that Mrs. Ellis carried a rather large sum of money upon her person. House-to-House Drive Being Made By NRA Workers A house-to-house canvass for NRA consumer signers was inaugurated here last Saturday following a meeting of the John Graham Council of the Junior Order on Friday night when a committee composed of Jim Moore, Gerald Allen and Owen Robertson was appointed to work with other citizens outside the lodge in getting consumers to pledge their patronage to those firms which are operating under the Blue Eagle. Over 250 people have already signed the cards and it is expected that this number will be swollen considerably by tonight when the campaign will be brought to a close in Warrenton. Those in charge of the work here have expressed themselves as being well pleased with the campaign, stating that with one or two exceptions every one asked so far to sign have shown their willingness to help President Rooseveiu in his plan to beat the depression. MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME | Co* m NUMBER 37 rmers To ire Monday To Be Urged To Sign-Up To Reduce Production Of Crop Next Year A WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN Tobacco growers and other interested citizens are asked to come to the court house here on Monday at 2 o'clock for a mass meeting which has been called for the purpose of getting Warren county producers to take part in the state-wide movement to curtail next year's acreage in order that higher prices may be secured for this year's crop. The meeting is called here in conjunction with plans formulated at Raleigh on Wednesday when upward of 800 farmers and business men, including more than 100 official delegates from the 57 flue-cured producing counties of the state and representatives from South 'Carolina, Virginia and Georgia, gave unanimous endorsement to the government plan for raising prices contingent upon production control over the next two years. Simultaneous with the meeting here, sign-up activities will be in progress in other counties of this state as well as in other, flue-cured tobacco producing states. Success in all of them is essential to operation of the Federal program to secure parity prices for this year's crop?both for growers who have sold their tobacco and those yet to take it to market. In addition to the meeting here on Monday, mcctlngo vili b? hpht. in various parts of the county during the week in order to explain the plan which has been agreed upon and to secure the signatures of farmers in the whirlwind sign-up campaign. Following is the schedule of place and time these meetings are to be held: Warrenton court house?10 a. ra., Tuesday, Sept. 12. Afton school house?2 p. m., Tuesday, Sept. 12. Hect's Grove?4:30 p. m., Tuesday, Sept. 12. Norlina ?8:00 Tuesday night, Sept. 12. Wise?10 a. m., Wednesday, Sep tember 13. Drewry?10 a. m., Wednesday, Sept. 13. Macon ?2 p. m., Wednesday, Sept. 13. Churchill?2 p. m., Wednesday, Sept. 13. Vaughan?10 a. m? Thursday, Sept. 14. Inez?2 p. m., Thursday, September 14. It will be seen from the above schedule that two or more meetings are to be held on the same day and in some instances at an identical hour. This is due to the fact that every effort is being made to put the sign-up campaign across as soon as possible in order that warehouses which have been closed all this week in accord with a proclamation issued last Friday by Governor Ehringhaus might reopen for the sale of tobacco. Bob Bright, who has been serving as emergency county agent since the government came to the rescue of cotton growers, and his county committee composed of E.
