The fact that the vote was mucl: closer in the Horse than on the similar Bankhead Cotton bill raises considerable doubt as to the outcome in the Senate, where the Bankhead bill passed by a margir of only eight votes. But although the Senate outcome will be watched closely, Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina, chairman of the Senate committee on agriculture, is still confident that the Senate will pass the bill. Senator Smith will get actior from his committee within a few days, thus placing the bill on the Senate calendar. -Senator Joslah W.

Rehabilitation Farm Ma3r Be Obtained By Warren County Warren county has a chance cf > getting one of the Rehabilitation I Farms which are being set up in the state by the Federal Govern: ment for the purpose of taking care j of destitute families which are on . relief roles and making them selfsupporting in the future, it was L learned yesterday from Jesse Gard, ner, relief administrator for War\ ren county. I Mr. Gardner said that ten of ; these farms are to bet set-up in i North Carolina and according to information that he had received ; from headquarters at Kaieign tne . farms will be located in the coun. ties that present the best proposi. tion. It is not known yet what kind of > proposition the county of Warren i will be in a position to offer, Mr. ' Gardner said, stating that he had s just received his information in regard to the establishment of these ( farms in North Carolina and that f he had not had an opportunity to take the matter up with the com missioners or to discuss it with many of the citizens of the county. The government will finance the farming colony, and it is possible that the government would be willing to pay something for the land, 1 but Mr. Gardner is inclined to believe that most of the counties of the state will be anxious to have one of the farms and as an inducement to the government will contribute the land free of charge. It is understood here that a track of land of around 1000 acres or more is desired for carrying on such farming operations as the government contemplates carrying on In the state. The thought was expressed that in the event one of the farms is set up in this county and livinor nn it become self-sup U11VUV A* ? porting, that the track could be divided up into small farms and sold to those who had been living on it and had learned to gain a livelihood for themselves. Mr. Gardner said at present the government was farming 125 fami1 lies through his office, not including those who had received aid in raising gardens from seed and : other aid coming through his of-1 fice. He looked with favor upon ; the idea of putting all these inI competent people in one section i where they could be properly lopk-j i ed after and instructed in farming j by a suiiervisor, which, it is under-, stood, the government will put in , charge of the colonies wherever established. ; Riggan Likes These j Ail-Night Dances Veteran John W. Allen of Warrenton lias but one objection to going to Old Soldiers reunions with , 91-year-old Veteran Charlie Riggan . of Vaughan, according to a remark made by Mr. Allen here on Monday i on the eve of departing with Mr. . Riggan for Chattanooga to attend the reuiion of Confederate veterans. / "The trouble with Charue," Mr. Allen said, "is that about the time I want x> go to bed, he is getting ready to set out for some all-night , dance." Both the "Boys of 1881-65" were in fine cpirits. Mr. Allen had little to say. Mr. Rlggan was stepping around fs spry as a cricket saying he could hardly wait to get with the girls that would be present at the reunion. i Mr. Allen has for years called Mr. Rigfian the lightwood knot of Warren County. / MOST OF THE NEWS || ALL THE TIME NUMBER 23 HEAVY VOTE IS I CAST IN PRIMARY More Than 3000 Voters Express Choice From SO Candidates In Race GIBBS' GOES TO SENATE Casting more than 300 ballots, voters or Warren county on Saturday expressed their choice lor public office from the 50 candidates in the race for county positions.
