With no opposition to the Democratic nominees the leaders of the party, who have been speaking in ether sections of Carolina, did not come to Warren. There has been little interest in the campaign which fas virtually ended on that June Saturday night when interest was keen as to who would be the nominees of the party?a verdict equivalent to election. h The fact mat there is no heated H contest to stimulate interest is reH sponsible lor party leaders calling H on voters to look at the election S from a standpoint of duty and cast 1^ their ballots as an endorsement of I the administration of President } Roosevelt in the nation and Gover, mr Ehrinthaus in the state. ? i ?11 l,onn or>H ItSlIOU) Xltt>C rtix piuiwu ?**?** are in the hands of election officials. It is expected that poll holders will meet here tomorrow and receive final instructions pertaining to the election. There are no Republican nominees in Warren this year, but a place has been made on the ballots for names I to be written in if a voter should choose to do so. To those who wlsn I to vote a straight ticket, the ballot I is simple. Under the party emblem II circle has been placed. All that I is necessary to vote a straight ticket H is to put a cross mark in the cirI de. The Democratic emblem is an I Eagle, the Republican, an Elephant. The polls will open at sunrise and I close at sunset. How many of tne 1 3,000 and more county voters, not I spurred by local antagoisms, will go I to the polls is a question which only I the ofiicial count, to be made next Tuesday, can determine.

Mr. Kerr explained that the meet ing was called for the purpose of discussing plans pertaining to the approaching general election. In explaining the necessity of getting out c a large vote at this election, Mr. ? Kerr stated that Warren County's ! j position in the Democratic party 5 in the State depended on the size ] of the vote cast in tne general elec- t tion, as the number of delegates ap- \ portioned to the several counties to 1 State Conventions and other party 1 meetings, was based on the vote in the last such election. He also stated 1 that a large vote was an expression < of loyalty to the Party and apprecia- 1 tion of the present Administration. 1 He then read extracts from an \ article showing the progress made 1 by the present Administration since 1 March 4, 1933. There followed a general discussion by those present as to the best manner of getting the voters to go to the polls on the 6th < of November.

BAD FOR US?The State of Georgia went hay-wire on diverting its highway funds while using Federal aid money for road construction. Uncle Sam got tired of being Santa Claus for Georgia politicians and passed a ruling that any State diverting even one cent of its highway money would be penalized one-third of the amount of its federal aid fund. That means that North Carolina will lose about $1,000,000 a year, during the next two years, if diversion of highway unds is continued. The State is '"*^C f ?

AIK1D IN (XIUKT Two Men Face Judge Taylor Charged Possessing Whiskey f or Purpose of Sale JUDGE IMPOSES FINES Whiskey and containers seized by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell and Deputy Lawrence Robertson on Saturday night when they made a raid on a store at Manson resulted with two white men?J. W. Williams and Roger Falkener?being arraigned ueiure <>uage w. w. .rayior m rtecorder's court Monday morning on charges of possessing whiskey for the purpose of sale. Falkener was not included In the original bill of indictment, but his name was written on a warrant after the case against Williams had been heard and it became known to the court that ralkener was in business with Williams. When Sheriff Pinnell and Deputy Robertson visited the store on Saturday night and inaugurated a search they found three bottles of government whiskey under a counter and in a back room Sheriff Pinnell discovered a puddle of whiskey on the floor and above it a bucket so arranged that a string leading to the front of the building would tip it over when pulled. The ouicers also found a number of empty containers in the building. Williams plead guilty to ownership of the three bottles of government whiskey?two bottles of "Two Naturals" and one bottle of "Frontier,"?claiming that he had it for nis own use. ?ie saia mac ne cua I not know anything about the whiskey in the back part of the building or the string leading from it; however, he admitted that he slept in the room where the bucket was located and that it was only a few J feet from his bed. Roger Falkener, who stocked the store for him, also stayed there on some occasions, .Williams said. When Williams' cam had been 'settled, Judge Taylor pointed otfC that Falkener was a partner of the defendant and suggested to the sheriff and solicitor that a warrant should be sworn out against him. Falkener was in court at the time and he expressed his willingness to be tried at once. He testified that he had stocked the store for Williams and that the proceeds from sales were to be divided but claimed 'that he knew nothing of any whiskey being kept there. Although the evidence was that he had sppnt several nights at the store in the absence of Williams and that he occupied the rom in which the bucket used as a container for whiskey was kept, he said that he had never examined the bucket and 'that he was unaware of the fact that whiskey was kept therein. | Both men were at first sentenced jto six months in Jail, assigned to i work for the State Highway and | (Continued on page 2) TAL KEYHOLES JTON SILVER now using one million bucks collected fr,m motorists to pay for general State expenses.

''Banner Bob" says he is running for Congress and batting for the party and "to say that I now have designs upon the Governor's chair and am making campaign for it is manifestly unjust but hastens to add "That isn't to say that I will not run for Governor."

Cotton Seed Will Over-Pay Bankhead Loss, Says Sheffield Raleigh, Nov. 1.?The increased price of cotton seed this year will more than pay the tax imposed on (North Carolina growers this year oy the Bankhead act. The increased income from the sale of cotton seed this year will amount to $8,346,000, while the Bankhead act will cost North Carolina growers only $2,179,000, according to Charles A. Sheffield, of State College. In 1932, before the cotton adjustment program was instituted, North Carolina produced 660,000 bales of cotton. They received a little over $5 for the seed grown with each bale of lint, or a total of $3,282,000 for the seed. This year, Sheffied said, cotton seed is now selling at around 60 cents a bushel, or $18 for the seed produced with each bale. The forecast of 646,000 bales indicates that seeS this year will yield a total Income of $11,628,000. The Bankhead allotment to North Carolina is 528,000 bales, or 114,000 bales less than will be produced. (This means that the tax must be 'paid on 114,000 bales or else addl| tional tax-exemption certificates purchased to cover them. Since growers can get all the extra certificates they need at four cents a pound, Sheffield pointed out, the I total cost will be $2,179,000 for certificates instead of the $3,084,000 ; which would be needed to pay the jtax ST 5.66 cents a pound. After buying the extra certificates, 'the growers will have $6,167,00 more th:i they had in 1932 from the sale of their seed if they deduct the cost of the certificates from the income from seed sales. | Womanless Wedding To Be Staged Here The rumor which has been going around for the past several days in j regards to a womanless wedding in \ the near future in the auditorium of I the John Graham High School is strengthened materially this week by the following invitation which was received by this newspaper yesterday: i "Mr. and Mrs. Sour Lemon announce the marriage of their daughter, Precilla (Jack Scott), to Mr. Sour Spud (Jack Adams), on the day of November, 1934.

Mr. Joe Ellis of Farmville was a week end visitor here. * ri> ice, $1.50 a Year Bright About w?erences Cotton Allotments By BOB BRIGHT County Agent " Several farmers that borrowed 'our cents per pound on their option :otton in 1933 have lost their participation trust certificates.

Cotton ginning got off to a slow si start this year on account of a late p crop, a short crop, and delay on ac- ti count of allotments. E Lower Power Rates * Go Into Effect Here cb Raleigh, Nov. 1.?Inducement 1( electric rates of the Carolina Power b & Light, announced recently, went v into effect Thursday and the new ^ rates will be reflected in the bills presented after December 1. e Consumers in North Carolina will v affect a saving of $154,000 annually as the result of the change In tne rates, according to an announce- p ment by the power company. n . The new rate will be based on a c monthly usage of electric energy u from November 1933 to October y 1934. The usage of light service by ^ a consumer the past July will be a the basis for each succeeding July. 0 The same basis will apply ior other 2 months. 0 A comparison of the light bill r rendered for service this month with the amount of the November v 11933 bill will enable consumers to ^ j determine the amount of their in- p I dividual saving.
