South Carolina by a close vote held with her sister state in the vote against repeal, but Pennsylvania, Utah, Ohio and Kentucky voted repeal thus assuring that the 18th Amendment would be removed from the Federal constitution after a trial of 13 years. North and South Carolina were the only two states out of the 39 that have voted that favored retention of the amendment. Following the returns, Jake Newell, head of the Republican party Says $3,000 Has Been Allocated For Street Work Here Three thousand dollars has been allocated to Warrenton for work on Federal highways in the town limits from Federal funds, according to report made to the Board of Town Commissioners on Monday night by Dr. G. H. Macon, member of the board. Dr. Macon quoted as his authority, Sam D. Scott, engineer in charge of highways in towns of the state. The commissioners instructed the secretary to write to Mr. Scott asking that a representative be sent here as early as possible to contact with Cliff Bobbitt, chairman of the -X X = :xx J r.U street tunumttcc, 111 icgaiu tu uutaining these funds. Littleton Team Goal Line Has Not Been Crossed LITTLETON, Nov. 9.?The "Red Terrors" of the Littleton High School registered their fifth consecutive win of the season when they defeated Aulander High on Friday, November 3, by a 2-0 score. The game was played in Aulander before a large crowd of fans. The narrow margin of victory resulted from a safety which occurred in the fourth period. Littleton had carried the ball to the Aulander two-yard line and lost it on downs. In an attempt to punt out of danger, an Aulander player stepped out of his end zone, an act which gave Littleton an automatic safety. Littleton outgained Aulander during the entire game but was held in check by the superb defensive work of their opponents' forward wall. Littleton has an unique record so far this season, it not being scored on in six games. Forget-Me-Nots To Be Sold Saturday Forget-Me-Nots will be sold here Saturday under tne auspices 01 ine D. A. R. for the benefit of disabled World War Veterans, Mrs. J. E. Adams, regent of the local chapter, announced yesterday. These flowers will be sold by Girl Scouts and two prizes will be \ given to the girls turning in the most funds. First prize is offered by Boyce Drug Co. and second prize by Margaret's Beauty Shop. Claims Victory CHARLOTTE, Nov. 7.?Defeat of a repeal in North Carolina tonight was claimed as "a great victory for the Republican forces" by Jake F. Newell, party , leader and staunch prohibitionist. "Every Republican county in the state went dry, I under, stand," Newell said. "It has been - - - - - ?? a great victory ior me iwpuuucan forces. We have given the Democratic repeal forces their first jolt and we are the only Republicans, according to information, that took this position before our national convention maintained that position all the way through." ht Mi ^RRENTON, COUNTY OF W Majority of 92 rces In Election On Amendment Repealed in North Carolina, issued a statement claiming the vote as a great victory for the Republican party. Anti-repealist have denied this. Prohibitionist have stated as their ' next objective the repeal of the law permitting the sale of beer in j the state. The vote in Warren was 786 for Convention and 875 for No Convention; 774 for W. T. Polk, repeal i candidate, and 886 for C. R. Rodjwell, anti-repeal candidate. Only 'four precincts out of 14 voted in favor of repeal. They were East I Warrenton, West Warrenton, Jud j kins and Hawtree. A lead of nearly ; two to one in early returns from 'the county as Warrenton reported was cut down to a nip and tuck affair as returns came in to the | office of the Warren Record from the rural precincts and a heavy anti-repeal vote from Sixpound swung the county definitely into the antirepeal column. T. R. Evans Is Placed On Macon School Committee T. R. Evans of Vaughan was apj pointed committeeman of the Ma!con school district at a meeting of ! the Board of Education here on 'Monday. Mr. Evans succeeds Robert ' H. Shaw of Macon, resigned. The board passed a resolution that the members did not look with favor upon charging fees for high school science and other subjects. Due to a shortage of funds for instructional supplies it has been suggested at a principals meeting that a small fee be charged for this service. I A number of requests for rerouting of school trucks was referred to the State school commission with the board's recommendation, j It was reported to the board that four new typewriters had been recently stolen from the Littleton school. The Board has not yet found J -fz-vY* rnnloHnof tVlPSA HilJ AXUiUd AVA XV|/lMVAMg WAAWWV. Upon motion of R. A. King it was ordered that Epworth school building formerly used by the white race be sold at public auction. The board endorsed the borrowing of $85,000 from the government for the erection of school buildings! at Norlina and Littleton. Later in the day this action failed to re- i ceive the endorsement of the Board of County Commissioners. The board adjourned at noon. Areola Is Wetter Than Warrenton Although the election returns didn't show it, Areola is wetter than Warrenton. t oof in a .QlHIlmnn wpfl.t.Vi JLJO.OU Vrwva i-i. it?i . .? er observer at the local government airport, said that the U. S. rain gauge here showed less rain for October than for any other month in three years. After giving figures bearing out his statement, he said that J. P. Hunter of Areola could report considerably more rain. This week Mr. Hunter writes that he can report more rain for October than Mr. Skillman does but no considerable quantity. His figures are .84 in. for Oct., .60 for Sept., as compared with 3.79 for Sept. 1930 and 1.74 for Oct. 1930. Evidently Mr. Hunter had just received the election returns when I he mailed his card giving the j above information. He signed off: | '"Hurrah! Good old North State!" Welfare Workers To Meet Here Monday Chairmen of welfare workers and interested friends are asked to meet with the Warren County Board in; the court house at 3:30 o'clock on Monday, November 13. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss ways and means of aiding the poor and needy to secure hospital treatment. In announcing the meeting here, ~ - i Miss Lucy Leacn, county weuaic ui- | ficer, said: "Since it is impossible for the county to pay all hospital bills of the indigent, and since the poor in our midst are our responsibility, we want to meet and discuss ways and means of aiding the poor in our county needing hospitalization. Citizens interested in the welfare of their county are urged to attend this meeting next Monday." Judge R. Hunt Parker, who has . been at Henderson this week presiding over a special term of court, was a visitor here Monday. Etrmt ARREN, N. C., FRIDAY, NCN BOARD REFUSES^ BORROW MONEY Commissioners Unwilling To Endorse $85,000 Loan 1 For Buildings j ARGUMENTS PRESENTED 1 ] The Board of County < Commissioners on Monday < by vote of two to three re- j fused to borrow $85,000 ] from the United States Fed- 1 eral Emergency Administrator of Public Works for the ^ erection of school buildings at Norlina and Littleton. , A delegation of Norlina and Lit- , tleton citizens bearing a petition with the endorsement of the ] Board of Education appeared be- ] fore the commissioners and after j pointing out grave conditions in the two schools asked that the loan ' be made. Joseph P. Pippen of Littleton, Dr. H. H. Foster and Boyd White of Norlina were spokesmen. These gentlemen pointed out that i 30 per cent of this amount would J be in the nature of a gift from the government and that none of the principal would have to be paid for the next five years. At the end of that time payments could be arranged to cover a number of years. 1 It was stated as a belief, but not 1 as a matter of fact, that the gov- < ernment would probably never ask 1 that any of this sum be repaid. ' The delegation took the position that other sections were obtaining 1 such loans, and that if such an op- J portunity would hardly present it- 1 self again. Spokesmen stated that c the whole country was going to be l taxed whether Warren county bor- 1 : rnwprl thp monev or not and that they were in favor of Warren get- 1 ting its part. Commissioners Skinner and Wall voted to make the loan.

Hall, an A-grade prisoner, took advantage of the privileges that his rank gave him and walked away [from the road force while working (near the Annie Carter Lee grave on Monday. When he returned on Tuesday . 8 he told Supt. T. M. Aycock that he , 8 dreamed that his mother was sick' and couldn't resist the temptation * of stealing away and going to see ^ her at his home near Youngsville. s Townsville Woman c Is Buried Sunday ? r HENDERSON Nov. 8?Mrs. Re- c becca Hendricks Williams died sud- .

Carroll was carried back there Monday afternoon by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell, Night Policeman Wilson and Constable Fate Weaver after a jury had decided that the Warrenton white man was not guilty of possessing the whiskey for the purpose of sale. The officers returned the liquor upon court order. After the jury had returned its verdict, Carroll, through his attorney, asked that the liquid be carried back to his home by the officers. Judge Taylor held that inasmuch as the man had been found cot guilty, the der fendant had a right to demand that the whiskey be returned to the place where ti had been seized, fhe officers gathered up the half gallon jars and went about their Dusiness. Carroll was arrested by Sheriff Pinnell and Night Policeman Wilson after several jars of booze had seen found in his lodging quarters. According to evidence given in Recorder's court, Sheriff Pinnell md Wilson saw Carroll and told lim they had a warrant to search lis place, but if he would tell them vhere his whiskey was it would save ;hem the time and trouble of makng a search. Sheriff Pinnell testiied that Carroll told them that he lad some whiskey but he had it in lis home for his own use. He showed hem where he had the booze. William Taylor, representing Car oll, did not put his client on the itand. The attorney used the statenonf nf sheriff ptnnell that the 11V/1IV UA ? lefendant had told him that he lad the whiskey for his own use, ind pointed out the law of North Carolina which says that any one nay have whiskey in his own lome for his own use or for his >ona fide guests. Other cases that composed the musually long session of court on Monday were: Whit Vincent and James Alston, legroes who got in a fight with J. Z. Davis, negro, at Pleasant Zion hurch, were found guilty of simple issault. Prayer for judgment was ontinued until next Monday. Davis trho used a razor in the fight, was ound guilty of assault with a deady weapon and was fined $35 and axed with court costs.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME ? * = NUMBER 46 BOARD ORDERS HOTEL ELECTON Citizens To Determine If Town Shall Buy Assets At Public Auction TO DECIDE DECEMBER 12 A special election to determine whether or not the town shall buy the assets of Hotel Warren at public auc tion was called for Tuesday, December 12, by the Board of Town Commissioners in regular session on Monday night. Ballots will bear the words, "For Purchase of Hotel at public sale at price not to exceed $16,500" and "Against Purchase of Hotel at public sale at price not to exceed $16,500." In the event that the election is carried no bond issue will be required as the town is holding slightly more than this amount of money derived from a railroad dividend in a special fund. Action of the board on Monday night came after months of discussion following the request of Gurney P. Hood, receiver for the Bank of Warren, for a receivership for the Hotel. Efforts to acquire the Hotel by reorganization methods, buying in the bonds and notes at 44 cents and 12 cents respectively fell through when bondholders refused to join in with the plan. Hotel Warren was erected at a cost of approximately $150,000 and the town's investment is nearly $100,000. Individual stockholders, mortgage and note holders represent the difference. It is with a view to protecting the town's Investment and acquiring a clear deed to the property that the commissioners called the election. A difference of opinion as to how much money the town should put in an effort to salvage its equity was voiced by the commissioners. Prices ranged from $15,000 to $20,000. The board finally compromised^^ John S. Davis Expresses Thanks Former Representative John 8. Davis, who has practically recovered from a recent illness which carried him to a Rocky Mount hospital for an nnprafinn this week in a letter to The Warren Record expressed his appreciation for the interest manifested in regard to his condition. He writes as follows: "I want to say to those who were so kindly concerned and solicitous (and it seemed to me to be almost every one) about my condition and recovery during my recent illness that they can never know how comforting it was or how appreciative I feel, and it was in a language that hearts only can speak and understand. "It gave me much pleasure and comfort that the pain and suffering seems like a half forgotten dream, though I think that God in His great mercy, through the skill of my attendants, and in answer to the prayers of some righteous persons relieved the pain and suffering and kept me unafraid. "I am going to try to be a better man." District Meet Juniors ? ** i i 1A lo Be neid no v. x?* The Twentieth District meeting of the Jr. O. U. A.
