The administration tide surged over the rebellious committee today wiping out three proposals which would have limited Mr. Roosevelt's authority under the greatest peacetime appropriation bill in the hisitory of the world. Three Proposals They were: 1. Defeat of the McCarran "pre1 vailing wage," amendment by adoption of a substitute by Senator Richard Russell, (D.-Ga.), which places only minor restrictions upon the President's right to fix wages. The vote was 14 to 9. 2. Defeat of an amendment by (Senator Alva Adams, (D.-Colo.), which would have reduced the ap1 propriation to $2,880,000. The vote ] was 12 to 11. ' 3. elimination of an amendment which would have compelled the : government to let. out all contracts ; to private bidders where projects ! involved the use of 10 per cent or , more of skilled labor. There was ; no record vote. 1 With these changes made, Chair- 1 man Carter Glass, (D.-Va.), said ( I he had been authorized to report t the bill favorably. As revised, it s ! constitutes an impressive victory s for the White House but foretells a t ; headed and protracted battle on the s floor. i t j Senators McCarran (D.-Nev.) and t I a J : J ii ..i J iu.i. ~ Auains baiu uiey wouiu carry ureu i 1 fight to the floor. McCarran hur; ried from the committee to appear before the executive council of the ,' American Federation of Labor, \ whose members faced the Senate committee yesterday in support of the Nevada Senator's proposal. They argued that the plan of the . government to pay an average 1 monthly wage of $50 on forthcoming construction projects would de, stroy the entire wage structure of ' the nation. > Senior To Present Play At Local School T The senior class of John Graham High School has chosen for its play, "Girl Shy," which will be presented within the next three weeks in the i high school auditorium, announce- y ment was made this week. jl The setting of the play is in a j ' small college town where two young 1 boys are attending college. One of the boys is girl-shy and the other y is exactly the opposite type. A j a wealthy, young girl, anxious to make | 't the girl-shy boy fall for her, poses! r as a cleaning girl to clean the boy's ( s apartment. With the aid of many other live characters, and amusing r tangles, the play is made unusually t enjoyable. 3 Following are the seniors who are _ s taking part, in this entertainment, s which is being coached by Miss Elba ( - McGowan of Greenville, a member ( > of the John Graham High School ^ faculty: 1 Duke Miles, Nancy Ellis, Gid Ma- '' con, Rachel Reid, Ruby Connell, : George Floyd, Jim Frazier, Kath- j1 f erine Williams, Annie Hudgins, John 1 Rhem, Kathleen Benson, and Robert 1 i.

Heal th Officer Offers Comment On Measles Epidemic By G. H. MACON, M. D. County Health Officer From official reports coming to ne as Health Officer of Warren bounty and from personal observaions as regards measles there is m epidemic of this disease slowly preading over our county. I feel hat the citizens should be given ome simple facts or rules concernng measles. First of all measles is he most readily carried or transnitted of all of the communicable iiseases. This disease is carried or ransmitted by direct infection or ontact, this is the usual and scienifically accepted method; other nethods of contagion are extremely are. The time of greatest contagion s the first four or five days and t is rare for the disease to develope ifter the tenth day following exposure. The symptoms of measles is .'airly constant in its manifecta,ions. I shall attempt to give a few lymptoms which most observant parents should know and most propably do know. Usually the first ;ympptom of all is a cold and eyeids swollen and red, the margins \ cough is usually present at the peginning or begins in a short while 'rom the onset. The temperature is ilevated and the child is restless tnd unhappy until the eruption is veil developed. Complications should ie carefully avoided; this is most (Continued on Page 8) THROUGH CAPJ By BESS Hfl CANDIDACY?Some members of ;he General Assembly don't think ;hat Senator Harriss Newman, of tJew Hanover, and Representative 3regg Cherry, of Gaston, Chairmen )f the Senate and House commit;ees on finance, have helped their reported candidacies for Governor ind Lieutenant Governor, also respectively, by the speed they have attempted to Apply to committee consideration of the proposed revenue bill. These dissenters express private opinions that rushing consideration of the big money bill has angered more people than it has pleased. GAS TAXES?From this point it looks like everybody and his brother s trying to get his hand into the pocket of the automobile driver by diverting highway fund revenues. Motorists and truck owners have expressed in no uncertain terms the opinion that any surplus gasoline taxes should be applied to repairing roads or reducing the cost of license taxes. You will not be able to tell who wins until the General Assembly adjourns sine die. PURPOSE?The bill by Senator Paul D. Grady, of Johnston, to amend the law establishing a State Board Cosmetoligists, proposes to do many things but opponents avow its main purpose is to abolish the three members of the board of beauty shop inspectors appointed by Governor Ehringhaus. Failure of the Governor to reappoint Miss Emelie Purcell, who served on the board one year, has created no little stir and proposals for a new set-up occasioned by little surprise in Raleigh political circles.

Following the accident both the I Norlina young white men were carjried to a Henderson hospital for | treatment.

Mr. Burton was cut about the I chin and right eye. Mr. Horton, driver of the car, was bruised and shaken, but his injuries are not rejgarded as being of a serious nature. White Man Tried On Liquor Charge J. R. Galliheir, white man, was convicted in Recorder's court on Monday morning of operating an automobile while under the influence of whiskey and was sentenced to jail, assigned to work for the State Hiehwav and Public Works Commis sion, for a period of six months. The jail sentence was suspended upon the condition that he pay a fine of $50.00, pay the costs in the action, and remain of good behavior for two years. The defendant plead guilty to the charge. The case against R. C. Piatt, white man charged with reckless driving, was continued until February 25, and the case against James Moss, negro charged with assault with deadly weapon, was continued until February 18.

[TAL KEYHOLES tfTON SILVER , the Commissioner of Revenue should be elected by the people in (stead of appointed oy tne uovernor , and has bills intended to make such ! a change. But the High Point Doc| tor isn't betting any big stakes that ; his proposals will become law. On the other hand he is inclined to be resigned to their defeat. Senator Burrus defeated Capus M. Waynick, present chairman of the highway body, in the Democratic primaries last June. | TOLLS?This General Assembly came to Raleigh determined to make all bridges as free as the roads and it didn't take the members long to remove the tolls from , bridges across the Chowan near (Edenton ad the Cape Fear at Wilmington. You won't lose much money, in the opinion of those supposed to know, if you wager that | tolls will also be lifted from the Wright Memorial Bridge, gateway to Roanoke Island, as the result of legislation backed by the administration. | NOT TOO SOON?Guesses on the (date for final adjournment of the legislature are beginning to vary widely as the joint finance committees continue deliberations on the biennial revenue bill. Legislative prognostigators profess to foresee unanticipated delay on the revenue bill in House and Senate. These unquoted wise-men sense unexpected storms as the result of rapid passage over many sections of the money bill in committee. GOVERNOR?Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham isn't saying ( much for publication but you can make a note on your cuff that he hasn't withdrawn from the 1936 Gubernatorial race. Treading the even tenor of his way Mr. Graham (Continued on Page 7; iSmii , 1935 Sam Davis, Mail Carrier, Buried With Masonic Honors The remains of Sam Davis were buried with Masonic rites in Pairview cemetery on Friday afternoon following funeral services conducted at his home here at 4 o'clock by the Rev. C. R. Jenkins, pastor of the Presbyterian churches at Warrenton and Littleton, and the Rev. L. C. Brothers, Methodist minister serving the Warren Circuit. Mr. Davis, who was 44 years of aige, ended his life Thursday afternoon of last week about 6:30 o'clock He had completed his duties as mail carrier on Route 1, Warrenton, for the day and returned to his home when he committed the act. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Davis, the son of former Sheriff R. E. Davis and Delia Tharrington Davis, was born on February 6, 1891, and spent his entire life in this county except when he answered the call to the colors dnriric the World War.

During the nineteen years that Mr. Davis carried the mail, he worked out of post offices at Inez, Warren Plains and Warrenton. He had been on Route 1, Warrenton, for two years. In speaking of his death, Mrs. Moore, postmistress at Warrenton, stated last week: "He was one of the best mail carriers I have ever seen." Mr. Davis was a member of Johnston-Caswell Lodge No. 10 and of the John Graham Council of the Junior Order. He took an active part in both these fraternal organizations, rarely ever missing a meeting. On October 21, 1919, Mr. Davis and Miss Annie Dowtin, daughter of Representative and Mrs. John A. Dowtin of Warrenton, were married. To this union was born one daughter, Mary Delia, and one son, Williams.

Methodist To Fight Change Liquor Law Representatives of the Methodist i Episcopal Churches in ;he Rocky Mount district pledged themselves at their annual conference on Wednesday to use their influence, work and vote, against any oroposition on the part of the state to go into the liquor business, according to W. A. Connell Jr., who presented a copy of the resolutions to this newspaper with the remark that 1 hey were passed unanimously, withwt a dissenting vote, by the approximately 250 members representing churches from seven counties. A ccpy of the resolution, signed by Mr. Connell and S. G. Wilson of this county, are printed below: "Whereas, it would apj>ear that the organized liquor interests have inaugurated a campaign to liberalize and temporize with looking to the final repeal of the laws of the State of North Carolina prohib.ting the manufacture, transportat on and sale of intoxicating liquor; in this State; "And whereas, it is a aistorical fact that liquor is an evil and that any evil which received political sanction and protection is rampant and uncontrolable, and that to tolerate an evil is to entertain, foster and encourage it; "And whereas, because of previous sufferage inconsistences and present alignments in the electorate conmnir orico in fVio lninHs nf lUdlUU Ilia.

E. Church South, in ses sion regularly assembled ir. Rocky Mount, N. C. February 13, 1 )35, and representing the church in about seven counties; "Resolve: ''First: That we lament any effort on the part of any per;on, association of persons or orgaiization to interfere with or modify or liberalize the present laws of this State against the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors within this State; "Second: That we respectfully ' ' X1 ?

A delegation of growers from North Carolina, where the greatest amount of cigaret-type tobacco is grown, appealed for a low production quota at a hearing before Chester C. Davis, the farm administrator, and J. B. Hutson, AAA tobacco chief. Governor Ehringhaus of North Carolina, who accompanied the del- toil egation, said growers felt the seven hundred million pound flue-cured crop proposed for farmers cooperating in the tobacco control plan would be augmented by growers outside the program and a eight hundred million pound crop would ' O result. Jin A I He pointed out that the control program so far has reduced the flue-cured carryover only 4 per cent 11 and said this added to the "danger of low prices." In setting the flue-cured crop at 700,000,000 pounds, the farm administration estimated this would equal world consumption. ' The record crop for flue-cured tobacco only slightly exceeded 800,000,000 pounds," Governor Eringhaus said, "and it brought starvation prices. Growers in North Carolina are looking at this present ^ proposal with fear and terror." A committee of the North Caro una, legiMabuie, wmuii nau auuptcu a joint resolution asking for smaller production, accompanied the delegation. Members of Congress from the state also attended the meeting. Contract Owners Should Not Ask For Jp Increase-Bright Persons who have a tobacco or cotton contract should not ask for an allotment, R. H. Bright, county agent, stated last night, with the explanation that such a request, if granted, would cancel their contracts on any lands which* they owned or controlled. To grant an allotment to some person who has a tobacco or cotton contract, he explained, would be responsible for an increase in money crops over 1931 and 1932, and would mean that the contracts would have to be canceled. Some person, he said, might attempt to get an allotment under some other name and this will prove detrimental to their interests. Former Prisoner Likes Warren Camp There are sofne who desire to get out of the Warren County Prison Camp so much that they are willing to make a break for their freedom, | and yet there are others who like serving time here so wen that tney will write for this privilege, Supt. T. H. Aycock commented this week as he exhibited a special delivery letter from a former inmate who is now doing time in Durham's institution for the wayward. The letter, as written by the prisoner who served a good part of an 18-month sentence here, is as follows: "This is James Rowland asking you to please come and get me. I am here in jail. I have got long time and want you to come and get me. They have already tried me and if you come to Durham and they have sent me out come and get me wherever I am please. Good by. "From James Rowland to Mr. Ay cock. "Durham County Jail. ''They tried me the 11. Please come and get me right now. You ask for me Mr. Aycock." Mr. Aycock said he did not know whether he would try to get the man back here or not. n SERVICES POSTPONED The Children's Services, previously announced for Sunday night, have been postponed, according to announcement made this week by the Rev. E. N. de Foe Wagner, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church. The Rev. Mr. Wagner said that though the Children's Service would not be held, there would be regular evening prayer at 7:30 o'clock.
