I Expresses Thanks J For Christmas Aid^ * ' - j,. i One hundred ana iwo ueeuy tallies were aided at this Christmas by the more fortunate people of this county. Miss Lucy Leach, county welfare officer, states in expressing her appreciation to the organizations and individuals which were responsible for leaving happiness at the homes of these poor people at this Yuletide season. Miss Leach writes as follows: "Warrenton. N. C. Dec. 28. 1S33. "AN APPRECIATION "(Thanks be to God for His un- ! speakable Gift)" "Since we keep Christmas in memory of God's gift of His Son to us, we feel that this is a time for us to give to those less fortunate than we are. In order to contact the needy families in the county before Christmas, I requested my Chairmen of the Welfare Wo'k in the different localities to send in to me the names of the needy families in their communities that would not he remembered at Christmas time. These were listed as Christmas opportunities. Seventy of these opportunities were taken by interested citizens, but 102 needy families ffere aided, it is imnossible to i i thank ail taking part In helping niake glad the hearts of these un- | fortunate ones.

Bank of Warren And Bank Macon Pay Ten Per Cent Depositors who had funds tied up' in the Bank of Warren and the Bank of Macon when these institutions were forced to close their doors, received dividend checks aggregating $22,500 during the Christmas holidays. Each of the defunct banks paid 10 per cent. Those with money In the Bank of Warren received their checks two or three days before Christmas and on Wednesday of this week checks were being mailed to depositors of the Bank of Macon. The 10 per cent payment made at this time by the Bank of Warren turned loose nearly a thousand checks representing a total of $20,000. This is the fourth payment made by the bank since it was closed. The first time it paid 20 per cent and the last three times it has paid ten per cent.

Corn-Hog Contract Offers Good Income A premium on hogs and a rental payment for corn land taken out of, production in 1934 is offered North | Carolina farmers along with those of the middle west. "I would suygest that farmers of North Carolina who are growing either corn or hogs for commercial purposes to make plans to sign a corn-hog reduction contract, especially where they are also signing either the tobacco or cotton contracts for 1934," says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State, College. "The Agricultural Adjust-1 ment Administration is attempting) to reduce the production of corn and hc?gs with the view of increasing the prices of the two commodities. Therefore the AAA will pay rent for corn land according to its fertility and will pay a premium on hogs if the growers will reduce the number of pigs farrowed and sold." Shay offers to .give any corn-hog farmer definite information about' how the plan is to be worked if I the matter is taken up with him early enough for the movement to get started in this State. To obtain benefits under the corn plan, for instance, Shay says the grower must agree to reduce his corn acreage by 20 per cent under the average of 1932 and 1933. He may then collect at the rate of | 30 cents a bushel for the corn which this rented land was capable of ( producing. Thus, if a man grew an [ average of 100 acres of corn in 1932 and 1933 and reduced this amount to 80 in 1934, he may collect a ren ~ ' tal payment ior tne zu acres on me basis of what the land had produced. If the land had produced 40 bushels to the acre, then rental for! the 20 acres would amount to $240 ?a very good rental for the average corn land in North Carolina. RIDGEWAY ITEMS The marriage of Miss Nina Daeke to Mr. Lee Hamme Jr. of Oxford was announced this week. They were married in late December of the year 1932. A Correction It was stated last week that Miss Katherine Seaman becomes the bride of Mr. Arnold Seaman on December 27th.

J|f iffl N, COUNTY OF WARREN, F1REBRINGS0N HEART ATTACK Rev. D. A. Fish el Dies During Fire That Destroyed Home At Vaughan FUNERAL ON THURSDAY The Rev. D. A. Fishel, 84, died as the result of heart failure caused by excitement and over-exertion when his home at Vaughan was completely destroyed by fire j which originated around 7 o'clock on Tue.sday evening. Mr. Fishel and his daughter, Miss Pearl Fishel, were in front of the house when they were notified that the kitchen of their home was on fire. The aged minister rushed to the back of the house calling for assistance, fainted and died within a few minutes. He had been suffering with heart trouble for some time. Funeral services were conducted at Sunset cemetery, Littleton, on Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock by Dr. S. W. Taylor of High Point, the Rev. Francis Joyner and the Rev. Rufus Bradley of Littleton. Mr. Fishel is survived by the following children: William, Harry, Solomon and Miss Pearl Fishel of Vaughan, Ben Fishel of Philadelphia and Mrs. Paul A. Johnston of Littleton. ' D. A. Fishel, son of Jacob and Susan Woosley Fishel, was born in Davidson county, December 6, 1849. He attended high school and educated himself for the Methodist Protestant ministry, in which faith he actively served for about 40 years. In April, 1878, he married Emma Jane Nicholson of Vaughan. For a number of years, Mr. Fishel j was engaged in lumber industry and farming from which he created a rather large estate. For the past several years he had been largely withdrawn from the lumber industry and davotod himoolf to tannins in which he maintained an active interest until the time of his death. I Largest Man Born In North Carolina | "I bet that none of you folks know that the largest man that ever lived was born and raised in North Carolina," said a Tar Heel at the Hoffman House in Washingi ton City, the other night. "His j dimensions and existence are both [vouched for in the American Enj cyclopedia. i "his name wao xvajxwo -? jwas seven feet, six inches high and in 1847 weighed 8'n pounds. He I was born in North Carolina in 1798 , and died in Tennessee January 23, 1857. Until 1853, he was able to go ; about his work in an active manj ner, but his weight increased so I fast that in after years when he I wanted to move about he had to be hauled in a two horse wagon. In 1839 it is chronicled that his coat was buttoned around three men each weighing 200 pounds, who walked together down the streets of Lexington, N. C. At his death he is said to have weighed not less than 1,000 pounds. His coffin was j eight feet long, 35 inches deep, 52 inches across the breast, 18 inches across the head and 14 inches across the feet. These measurements were taken at that time and are matters of historical record." Illinois Free Of Property Taxes SPRINGFIKLD, 111., Dec. 28.? Illinois today abolished real estate and personal property taxes so far as state assessments were concerned. It was the first complete substitution of a sales tax for property toxps in the United States. j The step was taken after state officials decided a two per cent tax | on retail sales, with perhaps some help from liquor taxation, would be | adequate to replace the $35,000,000 | levied annually in recent years on general property. Although cities, counties, park systems, sanitary districts, and other local units will continue to | tax real and personal property, abolition of the state's share of the revenue will result in a saving of from seven to 19 per cent to property owners. ^ Messrs.

McLEAN In The Raleigh Times On January 1 the federal government, in a nation-wide movement, ! will attempt to convert commercial banking houses from public bookkeeping machines into sound financial institutions with all deposits up to $2,500 insured in full, j North Carolina bankers, follow' ing numerous group meetings, have agreed upon a code of ope.ation to become effective on tnat date, bringing State banking institutions within the scope of the national - - - ii 1 1 i? banking bin ana me nauonai uaxus.ers' code. The national code requires that no account be carried at a loss to the bank or at cost to any other depositor and in accordance specifies that service cnar6es be levied on all unprofitable accounts. Service Charges I The North Carolina code allows ?? fraa transaction, on each $12 Qf collected balance above the minimum of $50. For all extra transactions, including checks and deiXJsits a charge of four cents each will be levied. North Carolina bankers had agreed upon a service cna.ge of three cents per item but national code authorities required that this be raised to four cents. A minimum charge of ten cents will be made for cashing checks. On small accountsj charges will be determined by average monthly balances while on latge, active accounts the number of items subject to service charges will be arrived at by analysis of accounts deducting items in transit from book balances. The code specifies that all church accounts, accounts of officers, directors and employees of banks shall be subject to service '1 1 charges when unproiuacue 10 me bank. Every account, regardless of size, must be self-supporting. j The code regulations provide: "No account shall be carried at a loss to the bank or at the expense of other accounts or other depositors. There shall be no exceptions to this rule. It shall apply equally to church organizations, charitable organizations, fraternal organizations and the like, the accounts of banks, bank officers and employees, the accounts of their families and relatives, the personal accounts of corporation officials, members of firms, or other business concerns, regardless of the size of the ac- j counts maintained by such corporation, firm, or other business." i To the man on the street this means that if he desires to keep, household books by means of a checking account he must pay the freight or keep sufficient cash balance earning, at three per cent interest, the cost of handling his lin- j ancial transactions. Checking will become a costly1 practice on unprofitable accounts. For instance, the cost of drawing and mailing a five dollar check i against an unprofitable bank account will be eight cents?four cents j bank service charge, two cents federal tax and two cents postage. In leturn the depositor gets insurance of his account up to $2,500 with the full strength of the federal government supporting his banking house. The code also levies uniform charges for trust, safe deposit, night depositories and other banking services. Deposits however, are not subject to charge unless the account is checked against. | Maximum interest rates on savings deposits are set at three per cent but one provision operates decidedly in the depositor's favor.

A motion to approve the loan contingent upon CWA appropriation ( with a provision that the loan would become null and void if the State School Commission decided not to establish a standard high school in that district was made by Commissioner Skinner and Second- < ed by Commissioner Wall. Follow- < ing a lengthy discussion of the matter in executive session the commissioners decided to postpone action until Monday in order that the Commission's attitude might be learned in regard to the establishment of a standard high school at Afton-Elberon. The Afton-Elberon school committee in seeking a loan from the State Literary fund similar to ones granted at Norlina, Littleton and other districts of the county, plan to have erected a $60,000 school building with the use of CWA labor. The commissioners motioned that CWA forces soil red places in roads lying between Johnston School House and Vaughan and between Johnston School House and the rail road. Much of the time of the Commissioners on Monday was spent in JSwooutivo Cogcioa, largely for diocussion of the Afton-Elberon loan application. Adjournment came shortly after noon. Negro, Struck By Car, Is Recovering Frank Williams, negro, is recovering in the Jubilee Hospital at Henderson from injuries he received on Saturday night when he was struck by an automobile driven by! Donald Scott. His injuries, it was said, were not as serious as it was at first thought, and it is expected that he will be released from the hospital as soon as the soreness leaves his body. ; According to a report of the accident given here, Mr. Scott, who was traveling towards Warrenton about 9 o'clock Saturday night, met a car on the highway near the home of W. D. Rodgers. The lights from the approaching vehicle prevented him from seeing the pedestrian, it was said, until the cars passed.

While Santa Claus was preparng to make his visit, merchants vere kept busy waiting on custoners who treked here from all parts )f the county to give Warrenton ;he largest pre-Christmas shopping :rowds that the town has enjoyed n several years. These people, many >f them enlivened by the feel of noney for the first time since the lepression set in four years ago, massed shekels over the counters ;omDarativelv freely in order that hey and theirs might again know ;he joys of a Christmas.

W. T. Pdlk, President of Warren County Memoiial Library, and C. A. Tucker( member of the building committee, appeared before the county commissioners at their called meeting here on Wednesday and obtained unanimous consent to erect a building to be used for library purposes only on the southwestern part of the cou.t square. As long as this building is used for this purpose, a member of the board of commissioners is to be an exofficio member of the board of trustees of the library, according to the minutes granting pe: mission to erect the structure. If the pro 1 i 1'? 1.

Following the granting of the lease, Messrs. Polk, Tucker, E. G. Allen, Commissioner John L. Skinner and Civil Works Administrator Jesse - amcate*"'fr* a interview. Mrs. - Thomas (Q-Berty, State Administrator,' who, acoording to Mr. Tucker, spoke very favorably of the project,^promising her approval and that the application for funds for this purpose would be forwarded to Washington promptly. The building committee is composed of C. A. Tucker, V. F. Ward and J. Edward Allen. Mr. Tucker said yesterday that the committee, in the event that' the CWA application met with Federal approval, planned to erect a one story building with basement 28x41 on the west side of the court square as near Market Street as practical. The structure will be built to harmonize with the court house. The main floor will house between 6,500 and 7 ooo volumes. The basement will contain an assembly room and heating- plant and will be designed so that additional storage room for books can be provided. The cost of the proposed building is to be $6,000, Mr. Tucker continued. The CWA is asked to furnish about $4300 of this amount, including labor and one third of the material. The library association is to provide the remainder. Nearly $1,000 of this remainder is on hand in a special building fund as a result of a gift a few years a?o * by Charlie Tannerhill of New York and smaller donations from civic organizations of the town. It is planned to borrow around six or seven hundred dollars to be repaid in lieu of rent now paid by the library for its present quarters. After the building is constructed, it is planned to landscape the grounds between the court house and the library. Minutes passed unanimously by the board of county commissioners on Wednesday read as follows: "Motioned by Commissioner Skinner, seconded by Commissioner Wall, that the county lease to the Warren County Library, Inc., a lot of land, the size of the library ? ? J building to be erected, ior a peuuu of 99 years, for use as a county library site on the southern part of the Court House square. Said lease to be null and void for non use of said site for a county library for a period of one year. And that a member of the board of county commissioners be an ex-officlo member of said libra: y board during the continuance of said lease. This otion not to be effective unless such building Is erected." Mrs. Arthur Pendleton of Raleigh and daughter, Miss Sylbert Pendleton of Washington, D.
