The whole eig Warrenton team played excellent BI football and Weldon never had a ? chance to score. Terrell, Miles, Floyd and Clark all carried the ball for gains with Terrell making two touchdowns and Miles one. Warrenton completed more forward passes than in any previous game and intercepted more of their opponents' passes and would have scored again if time allowed. ] This winds up the 1934 football P? schedule for John Graham High a School and it has been a very sue- we cessful one, lacking only one thing int ?the support of the town. It seems stc that the crowds were larger at the ; fQI old baseball field two years ago, but dis next year everyone expects the m? greatest team of all and since im- ea! provements are now going on at wil the new field, the prospects for 1935 reI football are very bright. th< . th< Charges Against ait Hicks Withdrawn on tor The murder charge under which Edison Hicks of Henderson has been re* held in the Warren county jail since T*1 October 22 when he was bound over w0 to Superior court with Mr. and Mrs..for Howard Hayes of near Ridgeway and th( A1 Riggan of Henderson to face ea: trial for the death of 5-year-old Theo Hayes was withdrawn on Wed- 1 nesday and he is now out under w11 bond of $250 as a state witness.

THROUGH CAPI' By BESS HIN' 3IG STICK?Raleigh back-room litical circles hear rumblings of coming war between eastern and 1 stern Democrats that are highly riguing, to say the least. The ' iry goes that the westerners are ming a combine to force re- i ;tricting of the State after the tndate of the constitution. The st has blocked redistricting i lich would give the west greater I wesentation at the expense of ; boys down east. The plan of i 3 westerners is said to be scrap- < lg of the traditional method of ' ernating between east and west i candidates for Governor, Sena- 1 anrf nt-hpr imDortant State of- ] es in the event thte easterners use to agree to redisricting, at would mean that the west uld offer Democratic candidates J all offices every term. The j 1 )ught will probably cause the . item boys to pause and think. : TONOR^-Keyholes is just about < ling to stake its reputation on j ; prediction that Dan C. Boney, rth Carolina's affable Commis- | ner of Insurance, will be hon- < ;d by his fellows at the annual: i eting of thte National Associa- 'j n of Insurance Commissioners in i jrida early in December. It would t be surprising if Mr. Boney raid emerge as president of the tional organization. OTENT ? Announcement this f. irrnt C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, TOWN LAWS AHiT TO BE REVISED Mayor Polk Appoints Committee To Compile And Codify Local Laws ASKS FUNDS FOR LEGION A committee to study and codify town ordinances was appointed by Mayor W. T. Polk at the regular meeting of the board of town commissioners on Monday night. Members of the committee are Herman Rodwell, James B. Boyce and Dr. G. H. Macon. Mr. Polk pointed out that many of the laws on the town books were obsolete and needed revision and that since the laws had not been complied for more than ten years, it was difficult for either those in authority or private citizens to find out just what laws are governing the town. The committee is empowered to employ legal assistance and after they have brought copies of all the laws in effect before the board that body will make a study of the same with a view to revision and probably have the revised law printed in phamphlet form. W. F. Alston, Commander of Limer Post of the American Legion, appeared before the board and after stating the plans of the Legion for putting a floor in the basement of the library in order to have a meeting place, asked the board for a contribution of $75 toward the expense of the floor. The commissioners asked Mr. Alston to ascertain the cost of such floor and report at a later meeting. Several of the commissioners after Mr. Alston's departure expressed the thought that such donation should be to the library building committee direct instead of through the Legion. Other matters before the board were of more or less routine nature. Changes Made In T ransportation Of School Children Several changes in the transporf nf i nn c-Trpf nrvi \XT o rrnn _ i/atxuix >jj> oi/cin ui tut noiitii \j\J uii ty schools were ordered by the board of education in session here on Monday in a meeting presided over by D. P. Limer in the absence of Chairman Harry Walker. In addition, the board voted to donate $50 to assist colored people of Cool Spring in purchasing an acre and a half of additional land for their school ground; to fine a driver at John Hawkins school $10 for damage to a bus; that dog damage bills be paid as recommended by the board of county commissioners; to sell Churchill and Johnson school buildings at public auction on the first Monday in January; attended to a number of routine matters and adjourned at 1:15. Changes in the transportation system were as follows: John Cawthorne take large bus (Continued on Page 8) rAL KEYHOLES rON SILVER " week of the formation of the Highway Protective League of North Carolina ? main objective and amendment to the State constitution prohibiting diversion of motor taxes ? is another indication of motorists banding together to prevent their being made the "ghat" in taxes in Tar Heelia.

The faculty of the school and sevMinmKorc! fVip p.nmmunitv uiai iiicmuv-ig v* vuv ? ? are the characters in the play. This performance has already been given at Afton-Elberon. However, the weather caused the attendance to be very small, and it is to be presented again in response to request by local citizens. D. A. R'S TO MEET The D. A. R's will meet with Mrs. Walter Fleming this afternoon at J:30 o'clock. #? forn: 1934 Subscript BURROUGHS SUCC] CHAIRMAN OI Dogwood Trees Planted On Roads By Garden Club Four hundred and sixty-five dogwood trees have been planted along highways leading Into Warrenton through efforts of the Warrenton Garden club with the co-operation of the Highway force. These trees were donated to the club by Willie Robertson. Working under the supervision of Mrs. H. A. Moseley and Mrs. Joe Taylor, the committee appointed by 4-Via oluk nKipnyiftun lrtrtol LUC UUU, pi UUilCiO 11LU1 L1XC iUUUi camp went into the woods, obtained these trees and transplanted them along the highway. Mrs. Moseley said yesterday that the club was very fortunate in obtaining these trees at a time that a number of broken down trucks at the prison camp caused a surplus of labor that could not be used elsewhere at that time. The trees have been planted on each side of the Norlina road for more than a mile, reaching the home of Mr. Henry Riggan. On the Liberia road uiey extend to the Macon road fork, and on the Warren Plains road (Continued on page 8) Red Cross Seals To Be Placed On Sale Next Week Red Cross Health Seals will go on sale the first of next week, Mrs. W. M. Gardner, who was named local seal sale chairman by the Parent-Teacher Association, which organization is sponsoring the sale, announced yesterday. In urging the public to purchase these seals freely, Mrs. Gardner pointed out that 75 per cent of the funds raised by this means will remain in Warren county for local health purposes. The other 25 per cent, it is understood, goes to pay for the cost of the seals. As a means of fighting tuberculosis, Red Cross Health Seals have been sold in Warren county for Ivears. It is thousrht that probably some of the money raised this year from the sale of these little seals will be used to purchase milk for undernourished children attending school. Church Leaders To Meet On Sunday All pastors and stewards of the Rocky Mount district are called to meet in First Church, Rocky Mount inext Sunday, December 9, at 3 p. im.

Rooker To Go To Henderson Officfe Edward Rooker Jr., who for the past several months has been connected with the Warren county relief office as disbursing agent, has been appointed bursar for the district relief office which will serve the four counties of Vance, Granville, Franklin and Warren, with headquarters at Henderson. Mr. Rooker will begin his duties in the Vance county office on Satur day. It is expected that ne wui re- i turn to his home at Warrenton each night rather than establish his residence at Henderson. i Announcement was made last week that the Warren county relief ; office was to be consolidated with similar offices from the counties of Vance, Granville and Franklin after the 6th of December. It is not known whether Mr. Gardner and other members of his staff, other than the three case workers, will be connected with the relief office after December 6.
