The touchdown g was made by Floyd in the first few minutes of play after which War- ^ irenton seemed to take it easy, play- ~ ing sale and keeping Nashville out ^ of their territory. Warrenton's new ^ backfield runner, Clark, showed ^ plenty of speed in a few wide runs around the ends. Terrell and Miles made gains through the Nashville ^ line while the Warrenton line opened the path. As usual Floyd had no ^ trouble in breaking through and was responsible for several first downs. ^ This game was such a decided Warrenton victory in spite of the small score and from the first there was ho doubt as to who was going to ' *in. This afternoon, however, Warrenton meets a stronger team when Wendell High School will meet them on the new field at 2:00 o'clock. A. large crowd is expected and if f i the game is as good as the Little- r Iw* game here two weeks ago, the c ans win not be disappointed. 8 he Warrenton Junior team will r Piay the Littleton Juniors here * ^csday at 2 o'clock. t play at arcola eeking to raise funds for local eeds, ladies of Areola will sponsor 5 Pay called "Harvest" on Thanks- 1 "ing night at 7:30 o'clock, accord- ( 2 to announcement made this i J*k by Miss Elizabeth r.

THROUGH CAPI By BESS HIN LIVELY SCRAP?You don't hear j much about it but a real contest is developing between State Senators Carl L. Bailey, of Washington county, and Paul Grady of Johnston, for president pro tem of the coming Senate session. Both are veterans and have many friends among the new Senate line-up. Both have booming voices and both demonstrated their ability at presiding over the Upper House in 1933. Before either is elected to the post of assistant gavel-rapper members of the Senate will know that a scrap has been taking place. NEW STATE COUNSEL?Capitol , Hill nose-in-the-wind boys smell a change coming in the Attorney,' General's office. It cannot be confirmed but there's good reason to' believe that one of the three assistants Attorney General is about to retire. Poor health is said to be the reason for the prospective resigna, tion. Keep your ears and eyes open and don't be surprised when you hear the news. A lot of people sup-1 posed to be "in the know'' whisper that it's coming. 1 POLLED THE VOTE?It may not mean anything to you on its face but tne iact niau UUIUIDtV/Xl V/WUHUJ ' polled a larger percentage of Its 1 June primary vote in the November election than either Nash or Vance counties is taken to have certain political significance in the .

C., FRIDAY, 1 BANK OF WARREN BUILDING IS SOLD Bought By. John G. Tarwater, Young Tobacconist, For $11,250 TUSCULUM FARM SOLD The Bank of Warren building and the Tusculum farm were sold here on Tuesday at public auction for a total of $19,450. John G. Tarwater's bid of $11,250 bought the bank building, and the Tusculum farm went to John King of Arcdla for $8,200. A bid of around $6,000 for the bank building was the first to reach the ears of Auctioneer Edward Petar, but this figure climbed steadily as W. H. Dameron and Mr. Tar water started raising each other's bid. The Tusculum farm, a 545 acre tract lying in Fishing Creek township, also held some attraction for Mr. Dameron, but when this property reached around $8,00 he stopped bidding and the farm went to Mr. King for $8,200. As both the bank building and the farm are listed as assets of the now defunct Bank of Warren, the sale of this property here on Tuesday is subject to the confirmation of court, but it is not thought there will be any hitch about this. Just what Mr. Tarwater plans to do with the bank building, which houses the post office and several offices up stairs, is not known, however there has been some talk around town about a branch bank coming here and occupying the building. C i!i: \7_1. reri.iiiz.cr vaiuc Of Cottonseed Meal A ton of cotton seed has approximately the same fertilizer ingredients as 1,053 pounds of cottonseed meal, says C. B. Williams, head of the agronomy department at State College. But when meal is used as a source of nitrogen in applying a complete fertilizer to a crop, the yield is usually 10 per cent higher, he says, than when the nitrogen is obtained from cotton seed. Therefore, Williams says, growers will usually find it profitable to fertilize with meal rather than with seed, though seed can be used when applied properly. On an average, the meal will contain 5.8 per cent nitrogen, 2.8 per cent phosphoric acid, and "1.8 per cent potash, while the seed will contain 3 per cent nitrogen, 1.4 per utMiu piiuspiiuriu auiu, tuiu pcx cent potash.

APPROPRIATIONS?"As much for schools as for roads'' is the slogan adopted by would-be raiders ol the State gasoline tax for their legislative campaign to get part ol the money paid by auto and truck owners to build and maintain roads The appropriation for schools now is $16,000,000 each year while the highway appropriation is $18,000,000 per year. But more than $9,000,000 of the highway appropriation goes for operation of the schools. Something like $6,000,00C jdebt service for school buildings is being paid by local government units and does not come out of the State appropriation. If included it would run the school expenditures nr? fn nhnnt. S22.000.000 ner vear. * 9 ? ? MYSTERY?It's hard to get anj advanced idea on the length of the coming legislative session. Some veterans are inclined to think thai I the 1935 General Assembly alreadj realizes that a State must have money on which to operate buf others express the opinion that it will take the constitutional 60 days for so many new members to learn what its all about. Everybody agree; that there is going to be some fighl against the sales tax with opinion on the outcome divided. Then there is the question of money for boost; in teacher and State employe paj to say nothing of the necessity foi relief funds. It's a knotty problem (Continued on page 2) iScrni NOVEMBER 23, 1934 Sul Husband Calling Contest To Be Held At Parish House A husband calling contest will be one of the attractions of the program which the Warrenton Garden Club is sponsoring at the Parish House on next Monday night when Mrs. Trotter of Chapel Hill comes to Warrenton to show lantern slides fend lecture on "Longfellow Gardens."

Year [German Queen of Vine j BERLIN ... Down at Neustadt Germany each Fall a "Festival of the Vine" is held. Each season a new queen is chosen. This year Franlein Trude Knauber (above), was fittingly crowned to rule over the festivities. a Wallace May Announce 25 Per Cent Cut In Crop Washington, Nov. 21.?Secretary Wallace probably will announce a cotton program next week which will call for a 25 per cent cut in acreage planted to the staple in 1935. Officials said today the 25 per cent slash, the maximum possible under the contract which farmers signed for 1934 and 1935, was certain. ^nfaile nf tho VnllintflTV vy wv- v/wi'u w* v*?w plan include an increase in payments to co-operating- farmers and a reduction in rental payments, accompanied by heavier parity payments. The AAA now is paying three and one-haif cents a lint pound on the average number of pounds of cotton raised annually in the past on each acre taken out of production. Renters and share-croppers have complained that the rental payments gave the land-o\|ners an opportunity to take advantage of them and that this has been done in many instances. Parity Payments The parity payment is one cent a pound on 40 per cent of the average number of pounds raised annually in the 1928-32 period. The average number of acres planted to cotton in that period is the "base average" and the 25 per cent reduction is to be made from the base. The contract which farmers signed last year?binding also in 1935? made an acreage cut of from 35 to 45 per cent below the base average possible in 1934. The base was figiured at about 41,000,000 for the 'country as a whole and curtailment to about 25,000,000 acres was sought. About 28,000,000 were planted, although abandonment reduced this to approximately 27,000,000. The 1934 contract said, however, that the reduction for 1935 should not be more than 25 per cent. Auxiliary To Hold District Meeting The Eighth District, composed of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsboro, Henderson, Oxford, Durham and Warrenton units of the American Legion Auxiliary, will meet at 3:30 Saturday afternoon, November 24, at the Episcopal parish house, in Chapel Hill.

"\V ' I A MOST OF THE NEWS ^ ALL THE TIME NUMBER 47 BANKHEAD ACT SUBJECTOFTALK District Agent Tells Farmers That Control Features Like First Model Car WANTS IT CONTINUED Comparing the present Bankhead Act and other policies of the AAA with the 1900 model automobile, O. P. McCrarary of Raleigh, district agent of the Department of Agriculture, told around 700 white and colored farmers gathered in Boyd's Warehouse here yesterday afternoon, that he felt that the act should be continued with the hope of its constant improvement until a smoother working machine could be evolved. The district agent said that had people refused to use the crude automobile its development would have stopped but instead of that the machine had through used and experiment been improved until it had become the beautiful creation of today, and that he believed that 25 years from now people would view the crude efforts of adjustment of crops in the same light they now view the old Ford car of 1930. In the event that the growers vote to continue the Bankhead act changes would be made in it for next year. He was uncertain exactly what these changes would be other than that the Secretary of Agriculture would be empowered to set the allotment figures after a through study of market conditions. He expressed the hope that many of the inequalities of the act would be ironea ouc Dy tne trial metnoa. Asking for a show of hands of all those who had ploughed In newgrounds, the agent told those that raised hands that they didn't stop ploughing because of striking roots or because of stumps, but through work in a few years had nice easily cultivated fields. He expressed the belief that a similar process of clearing up would be gone through by the government provided the farmers expressed the will to continue. The government man quoted figures to show that the value of Warren county cotton seed in 1934 was nearly four times as much as it was in 1932 and that the increased value of the lint, couple *vlth benefit payments, and higher priced seed had doubled the income of the cotton growers of Warren in comparison with 1932. The meeting was called to order by County Agent Bob Bright who turned the meeting over to Edward Turner, chairman of the county committee. Mr. Turner introduced Mr. McCrarary. Following Mr. McCrarary John L. Skinner of Littleton, stated that he would favor the Bankhead act provided that several changes could be worked out. He pointed out that a great injustice had been done Warren county because surrounding counties had been getting credit for cotton grown in Warren due to more than 3000 bales of Warren cotton ginned in other counties, and said he felt that this injustice should be rectified. He further stated that he believed every bona-fide grower should be allowed a minimum of six bales. Chairman Turner said that Mr. Skinner's talk was all right except that he had his figures mixed, explaining that 42,000 applications had Deen maae Dy couon growers uuu had each of these been allotted six bales, the crop would have been around 25,000 bales instead of the nine tnousand allowed the county. We are trying to reduce the crop, not increase it, Mr. Turner added. Mr. Bright said that Mr. Skinner was correct about the cotton ginned in other counties, but that the matter would be straightened out before the next crop. After several growers had showered Mr. Bright with questions, Edward Rooker Sr., veteran warehouseman of Warrenton, asked to say a few words. Quoting the scriptural passage about rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, Mr. Rooker said that the farmers should render unto the government its full co-operation, but at the same tim5 11.... nL.
