BRIGHT, County Agent ah tobacco producers that failed I to sicn a 1934-35 tobacco contracc may do so at the present time. The base tobacco acreage and pounds ffju be figured from the years 1931-32-33. I will be .glad to clean . ? cood for tobacco growers | tooauv -I and assist them in securing seed I from plant breeders. I do not have the basis of the I allotment that will be made to per sons that could not sign a 1934-35 tobacco costract, but all persons I that intend to apply for an allotI ment should do so at once. Several counties are purchasing I terracing machines and tractor and I I am wondering if the farmers in this county are interested to the exI tent that it would justify the purI chase of a machine. I I am planning to hold some forestry demonstrations in this county I and would like to talk the matter I over with land owners that are interested. I I realize that there is a motive I for cotton growers to grow tobacco but unless a person that has a cotton contract can get an allotment I or a tobacco contract he will violate his cotton contract if he plants I tobacco. I A forestry demonstration will be I held at the farm of Mr. D. P. Ays cue in the Vicksboro community on M Wednesday morning, January 23, at II 10 o'clock, and at the farm of Mr. Francis Limer on Wednesday after noon at 2:30 o'clock. I will have in a few days some of the same rat poison that I dis tributed last year.

Pension Advocates Hold Meeting At Court House Advocates of aid from the federal government in the form of pensions for those 60 years old and over, as well as those afflicted, met in the court house on Monday following the adjournment of court and heard resolutions which had been drafted by a committee appointed at a former meeting of the "Old Age Club." These resolutions, which request a government check rating from $25.00 to $50.00, are to be submitted to the Senators and Congressmen assembled in Washington, and to state representatives now in Raleigh, it was stated. The resolutions, as read in the court room on Monday, are as follows: "The committee appointed at the meeting of this 'Old Age Club' at Warrenton, N. C., January 7, 1935, to draft and present resolutions, expressing to the Senators and Congressmen of this good nation the necessity, and prayer for this Congress to ratify an 'old age pension law', resolve first that: ''These old people, who have worn out their lives in building our country and now, in the eveing of life, with an inspiration from the Sermon on the Mount, pray you to pension the aged arid infirm of our land at this Congress. "We, the aged people of Warren County, N. C., beg to submit the following to the Senators and members of the House of Congress assembled in Washington, D.

Temple, 48, Dies At Raleigh Funeral services for Joseph Palmer Temple, 48, wholesale produce dealer who died late Sunday night at his home in Raleigh following an illness of several months, were conducted from the home of his broth- j er-in-law, Henry Montgomery of Warrenton, on Tuesday afternoon [ at 2:30 o'clock. Interment followed \ in the churchyard of Providence M. E. Church, near Warrenton. The services were in charge of the Rev. Dr. P. D. Miller, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Raleigh, of whicn Mr. Temple was a member. He was assisted by the Rev. J. S. Ledbetter of Havre de rZrano Mr. Temple was a native of Townsville and spent his youth in Warren county. For a number of years he was engaged in the whole- j sale hay and feed business at Wil- I mington, but for the fast five years he had been making his home in Raleigh. He was a sop of the late J. A. and Martha Ann Temple. The deceased is survived by his widow, the former Miss Ruth Elizabeth Limer, whom he married at Ridgeway in 1906; one son, Joseph W. Temple and a sister, Mrs. W. H. Parker, of Bolton. A number of friends from Raleigh accompanied the funeral procession to Warrenton. John Whittemore Dies Suddenly / Funeral service for John Whittemore, who died suddenly at his1 home in Warrenton on Monday j morning, were held at Skelton, Va., o Tuesday afternoon. | Mr. Whittemore, who was 65 years of age at the time of his death, was a native of Virginia but he had spent the greater part of his life in J and around Warrenton where he was engaged in the carpenter trade and farming. bp Hj fARRENTON, COUNTY OF Hayes, Arrested After Death Of Child, Acquitted Failure of the state to produce sufficient evidence to show that Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hayes of near Ridgeway were criminally liable for the death of their 5-year-old son allowed them to walk out of the court room on Tuesday afternoon free of a murder charge which was drawn against them after doctors from Warrenton and Henderson had testified that the child's death was due to too much alcohol, alleged to have been imbibed in their home. The bill of indictment in its original form was also drawn against Edison Hicks and A1 Riggan of Henderson, who were staying at the Hayes' home at the time of the tragic death, but before the case was called for trial on Tuesday afternoon it had narrowed down until only Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were charged with the murder. Hicks, who with the other three defendants was placed in jail here under bond of $1000 following a 'preliminary hearing three months ago, was later released on the grounds that there was not suf ficient evidence to hold him as a defendant in the action, and Riggan escaped trial by virtue of the face that a nol pros was taken as to him just before the case was called. Both were held as witnesses. In presenting the case the state placed on the stand Dr. W. H. Furman of Henderson, who examined the boy when he was brought to the hospital in Henderson the day before his death, Dr. P. P. Hunter, who with Dr. G. H. Macon performed an autopsy on the body of the dead boy, and Dr. Macon who went to the Hayes home at the time of the boy's illness and ordered him to the hospital, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Riggan, who were living at the Hayes home at that time. Although the defense attorney succeeded in bringing forth a few discrepancies in the testimony of the physicians, each of the doctors remained firm in the stand that death was due to acute acoholic poison. In addition to giving his opinion as to the cause of death, Dr. Macon i told of visiting the Hayes home on (Continued on Page 4> THROUGH CAPI By BESS HIN GOOD STROKE?Governor Ehringhaus made a hit with the Legislature in his biennial message. If the Governor listens to the urgent pleas of friends from all over the State and rims for the Senate against Senator Josiah Bailey, his recommendations for better salaries for teachers and State employees will not hurt his chances. HOLDS 'EM?Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham is one presiding officer that holds the reigns tight on the State Senators. Last session some of the boys didn't like this but it expedited business and the personnel of the present Senate is business like if it is anything. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE ?Former State Senator W. O. Burgin, of Davidson, is confident he will live to see his 1933 bill for a State unemployment plan become law before this session of the General Assembly adjourns. Conditions were such in 1933 that the measure had little chance and was withdrawn but the commission, headed by Mr. Burgin, made a study of the situation and Governor Ehringhaus endorsed the plan in his address to the General Assembly. PRIZE?Perhaps you have wondered why there's always such a scramble among Legislators to get ? i nAmmiitPPii. The rea On lllipui taiio _ son is simplicity itself in many instances. The big committees receive delegations from all over the State and members of the groups have many chances to turn a few political tricks. That in future campaigns, especially of a State-wide nature. DOUGHTON-HOEY?Lines have formed in the General Assembly on the prospective candidates for Governor with the sharpest divisions between the backers of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, and Congressman R. L. Doughton. Backers of Mr. Hoey ' * ? ?v?r*/Mmnompnt fire expecting mi <uuivuuvvutv*? from him at any time and the supporters of the Congressmen express confidencefcthat he will run. Lieutenant Governor Graham is playing the game but there is strong opinion that he will be a candidate. mm WARREN, N. C, FRIDAY, JURY FINDS NO" FAULT CO. HOME .Suggestion Made That Superintendent Be Placed On A Salary Basis i BETTER LIGHTS NEEDED No criticism of the County Home, i which institution was attacked by a former Grand Jury on the grounds that the management was bad and the "patients badly neglected and poorly treated", was registered in the report made at this term of court to Judge William A. Devin; however, it was recommended that the county commissioners, give thought to the idea of employing the superintendent of the home on - ?+Vinrt r\y, n nnr a Simmy uasnsj lainuj. tjucui wu ?, capita basis. The need for better lights was also noted. The Grand Jury report disclosed no gross irregularities in the county and made no startling recommendations; however, the need for improvements in the court house and John R. Hawkins High School were pointed out. The report in full follows, as well as a letter by Superintendent of Schools J. Edward Allen, which was endorsed by the members of the jury; "Warrenton, N. C.

THREE-WAY RACE ? Paul D. Grady, Johnson county, Senator W. G. Clark, Edgecombe, and former State Senator George McNeill, of Fayetteville, are beginning to pull their strings in the race for Lieutenant Governor next year. Senator Grady marked up a preliminary vie-! tory over Senator Clark when the Johnston man got himself elected president proiempore ui ui? ocuni/c over the opposition of Senator Carl L. Bailey, of Washington, who was openly backed and nominated by Senator Clark. The defeat of Grady would have been a feather in Clark's cap in the campaign for the second highest political office of the State. DIVERSION?The fight is on between those who think automobile taxes should be spent on roads and those who would like to use the money for other purposes. Gover- j nor Ehringhaus backed the move- ( ment against diversion and recom- | mended that holes be filled, bumps smoothed down, shoulders repaired and tolls taken off bridges before the highway tax money (the State's heaviest levy- is used for other things. POWDER KEG?There is an opinion here that the formerly helpful post of chairman of the roads committees in this Legislature may not be so helpful politically this session. It is rumored that many bills will be introduced calling for constructions of local roads controversies will arise between delegations from back , home on location of these roads. . If the committee decides on these ' armiments or reports the bills un- . favorably the result cannot be cal-j( culated to increase popularity of I chairmen of the committees. i LOBBISTS ?

The bank case was continued at the request of the state due to the illness of Solicitor W. H. S. Burgsvyn. who has been confined to his aome at woocuana on account , )f influenza. In his absence, the prosecution has been carried forward by .Joseph P. Pippen of Littleson, solicitor of Recorder's court in Warren county. Although the court room was jacked tliroughout the week by an mutually large crowd, this has been iue, it is thought, to the season of she year rather than to any countyvide interest In the cases which same up for trial at this term. With she exception of the Hayes murder .rial not any of the cases on the locket were of paramount interest ifter the bank case had been postponed, nevertheless people from all sections of the county, white and Dlack, crowded into the temple of justice until all the seats were taken ind standing room was at a premium. Members of the negro race were defendants in all but two of the dozen or more cases which came oefore Judge Devin this week. White people were involved in the Hayes murder case and James Kimbraugh, who was tried for breaking, entering, larceny, and receiving stolen goods, is a white man. Ten years was the longest sentence given by Judge Devin at this term of court. This punishment was meted out by the Jurist to Sterling Moss, negro convicted of entering the home of Sam Bullock, negro of Sandy Creek township, and attempting to criminally assault one ax .bullock's daughter wmie memaers of the family were in the house sleeping. A sentence from five to ten years aras given Mack Hendricks, negro convicted of burglarizing the home af H. H. Hawks, white man living near Norlina. According to evidence, nembers of Mr. Hawk's family heard ;he negro when he attempted to ;nter the house and after he had gotten inside of the dwelling Mr. rlawks surprised him with a gun. rhere was evidence that the negro lad been drinking, and defense :ounsel sought to free him by bringng forth testimony to show that iendricks thought he was going to ?

Other cases tried are as follows: Sol Hawkins, through his attoriey, entered a plea of guilty to formation and adultery, and was senenced to the roads for two years. The state accepted Mike Johnon's plea of guilty to an assault on , female, and Judge Devin ordered hat he should work the roads for wo years. Later this sentence was hanged to read: "Six months in ail assigned to the County Home o be assigned to such work as the ommissioners may designate." The case against Robert Tally, harged with bastardy, was not tried tie to the fact that the presiding udge dismissed the appeal, holdng that the case could not be apealed by the state from Recorder's ourt.
