Skinner's motion to okeh conditions at the County Home failed to receive a second and was not passed by the Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on the first Monday in December as stated in last week's issue of The Warren Record, it was learned here Monday. Mr. Skinner's motion was made while the commissioners were in executive session and written into the minutes of the board. It has not been the usual custom of the board to place motions on the minutes un less mey nave Been seconded and the reporter of The Warren Record wrongly assumed that the motion had been seconded and passed. Such was not the case. Mr. Skinner's motion, after stating that the commissioners had made an investigation of grand jury charges relative to conditions at the County Home, said among other things that "We (the board) find that the evidence does not warrant any censure of the present administration of the County Home. . . . We respectfully asking the incoming Grand Jury for further instructions." Monday two of the commissioners called the attention of this newspaper to the fact that the motion had not been passed with a request that a correction be made. Littleton Doctors Favor Relief Drive Two Littleton physicians this week stressed the need for aid for destitute citizens of Warren county in letters to Miss Lucy Leach, Welfare Officer, endorsing the drive for funds for the Charity Chest. Their letters follow: "To whom it may concern: "I see in my work in Warren county people that are in need of food, medicine or hospital care mat are not eligible for Federal Relief. 1 I think every person that is able should contribute something to the Charity Chest. "L. H. JUSTIS. "Littleton, Dec. 13, 1934." "Miss Lucy I. Leach "Warrenton, N. C. "Dear Miss Leach: "I heartily endorse drive for War-ren county Charity Chest. There are many cases in county not eligible for aid from relief office, I see many sick and destitute people who are not able to pay for medicine and proper food. If these people are not aided from Charity Chest they will suffer, since it is impossible for the county to aid all these people. "HORACE PALMER, M. D. "Littleton, Dec. 13, 1934." Young Girl Hurt In School Bus Miss Emma Pitchford, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Pitchford, is recovering m a nwny Mount hospital from injuries ohe received Friday morning while riding a school bus to the Macon high school. Miss Pitchford was injured about the head when the bus ran over a bump in the road and her head struck the floor of the vehicle. The extent of her injuries were not realized at the time and she continued to school, but later, when the teach1 er put figures on the blackboard, she complained of dizziness and was sent home. | Upon examination by Dr. G. H. Macon it was found that she was suffering from a hemorrhage and was sent to Park View Hospital. It was reported yesterday that she is improving and would probably be able to return to her home within a few days. Cotton Ginnings Show Increase xnere were 10,010 umca ui whvu ginned in Warren county from the crop of 1934 prior to December 1 as compared with 12,760 bales ginned to December 1, 1933, the census report, submitted by Ben Tharrington, special agent, reveals. MEETING AT METHODIST CHURCH HERE SUNDAY Every member of the Wesley Memorial church at Warrenton is earnestly requested to be present at Sunday School and at the church conference following at 11 i o'clock, one of the stewards said 1' yesterday. It is important that each one be present, he said. Iff* COUNTY OF WARREN, N. Named To Treasury 1 ( # rvn\nmT> W!?

Gains of Seventy Millions Seen For Two Major Crops Raleigh, Dec. 13.?The AAA in its first year has been worth approximately $70,000,000 to producers of North Carolina's two major crops alpne, estimates based on State Department of Agriculture statistics show. Including benefits frpm the AAA, in addition to the higher prices created by acreage controlled PTQ-? duction, tobacco growers in the State have received $123,000,000 so far and are expected to receive a total of $140,000,000 for their weed. This is an increase of nearly $57,000,000 over last years' approximate $83,000,000 total. Also including benefits from the AAA, but exclusive of the yield from cotton-seed, cotton farmers in the State, likewise benefiting from acreage controlled production, are expected to receive about $47,000,000 f V-io-iv rvrnHimo Thic 1q ATI in iv/i U1WU UUUVV. wmmm crease of about $13,000,000 over the $33,000,000 brought by the 1933 crop. Together, cotton and tobacco, the State's two major crops, are expected to yield $187,000,000. Last year the yield was about $117,000,000 from the two. The State is expected to produce 650,000 bales of cotton this year, the State and Federal Crop Report(Continue4 on page 10) THROUGH CAPJ By BESS HI?

Representative Lambeth bucked the line in Washington and there are hopes that he will lead the homeowners to victory. There has been much criticism of the HOLC in this State. Senator Robert R. Reynolds and Congressman Frank Hancock made it so hot that Alan S. O'Neal was given the gate and Scott Noble placed in charge of HOLC administration in North Carolina. Congressman Lambeth is suspected in many quarters of having his eye on the Blount Street Mansion in Raleigh. SERVES AGAIN ? The appointment of James L. McNair, Laurinburg, capitalist and sportsman, as a member of the Board of Conservation and Development has brought praise from sportsmen passing through Raleigh en route east for duck, goose, quail, deer, and bear hunting. Mr. McNair is a former member of the Old State Highway Commission and himself points a wicked shotgun and baits a tempting hook. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT ? The electric chair at State's prison is going to get some attention from the coming Legislature. Dr. Charles A. Peterson, prominent Spruce Pine physician and Republican member of the House from Mitchell county, is expected to introduce a bill to change the method from the electric to death in a lethal gas chamber. It is also expected that efforts will be made to give Judges power to impose life imprisonment sentences in cases where the jury returns a verdict of guilty of a capital offense but recommends mercy. That would untie Judges hands from the mandatory death sentence and take a great load off the mm C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, CASES CONTINUE IN COUNTY COURT Seven Out of Eleven Cases Continued That Jury May Be Drawn TWO ASSAULT CASES The name of Jesse Stansbury, white man of North Warrenton, was written across the criminal docket of Recorder's court opposite four different charges which were oMiortnioH tn have hpen tried this week, but due to the fact that a request was made for a jury, the cases were postponed until next week. The charges on which Stansbury is to face trial are possessing and transporting whiskey, trespass, and assault. There are two assault counts against him. Although there were eleven oases scheduled for a hearing this week only four were tried due to the fact that defendants in the actions called fqr jury trials. Those tried this week were larly Medlin, white, charged with abandonment; Roosevelt Hale, white, charged with assault; Creighton Kelly, white, charged with assault; and Lula Patton, white, charged with fornication and adultery. The judgment of the court was that Medlin should pay to the Clerk of Superior Court $2.50 a week, beginning December 17, for the support of his children. Hale was given a six months jail sentence which was suspended on the condition that he remain of good behavior fqr two years, Kelly was given a six months jail sentence which was suspended upon the condition that he pay a $10 fine, court costs, and remain of good behavior for a period of two years. The Patton woman was sent :to the Farm Colony for Women at Kinston. cases continued were: Jesse Stansbury, transporting and possessing whiskey; Jesse Stanabury, assault; Jesse Stansbury, assault; Jesse Stansbury, trespass; Robert Thornton, negro, charged with larceny; William Henderson, negro, charged with reckless driving and operating an automobile while under the influence of whiskey; Willie James Collins, negro, charged with reckless driving. Mr. Jack Watkins of Henderson was a visitor here yesterday. iTAL KEYHOLES iTTON SILVER Governor and his Parole Commissioner. RESTORATION ? With continued increases in living cqsts and some increase in State general fund revenues it is now believed m many informed quarters on Capitol Hill that school teachers and other State employes stand a good chance of having some 01 their base salaries restored by the General Assembly. It's been lean pickings for State hired help for the past two years. RANG THE BELL ? Last week Keyholes told you that Capus M. Waynick, who had resigned his post as North Carolina Director of the Federal Reemployment program to return to editorial desk on the High Point Enterprise, might get another public appointment. Before some pipers had the opportunity to publish that item Mr. Waynick was appointed Assistant Chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, clothed with all the powers held by the Chairman, E. B. Jeffress, who has been critically ill for two months and is not exjjected to recover. Just another occasion when Keyholes was ahead of the news although confidential information prevented publication of the whole story. AUTO TAGS ? Efforts are going to be made in the General Assembly to reduce the price of State automobile license tags instead of diverting highway money to other purposes. The motorists will like that but not the politicians who want to collect from the uncomplaining car-owner and spend the money elsewhere to avoid other more unpopular taxes. The highway department is also going to need several millions to repair roads and put them back in the condition they were two years ago when the Legislature put legal limits on how much of the motorists' money could be spent for the (Continued on page 2) Simu 1934 Subscrip Convict Hunts Quail Kimea (above), state life convict, nronfort ft nnrrlflTl hut the state nuuwu ? jf? ??? | wouldn't stand for that.

Williams Sees End To Price-Fixing New York, Dec. 13.?S. Clay Williams, chairman of the Industrial recovery board, predicted today that price-fixing would be eliminated from the new NRA. Sketching for a business luncnecn meeting his ideas on what the new NRA would be, Williams foresaw that it would- continue: (1) Minimum wages and maximum finiira. (2) The ban on child labor. (3) The collective bargaining guarantee. (4) Provision against certain unfair trade practices. Pull compliance with wage and hour provisions, William said, would largely eliminate the need for price-fixing. "I am not unaware of the importance in which some groups still hold the provisions of their codes that were designed, inserted and insisted upon as necessary to their chance of prosperity," he explain(Continued on page 10) 1 - - - . -* MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 50 FARMERS VOTE ON CONTROL ACTS Grower# To Determine Fate Of Bankhead Cotton Act And Kerr Tobacco Act NEED TWO-THIRDS VOTE Warren farmers are today participating in the movement to determine the fate of the Bankhead Cotton Act and the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act.
