With the passage of the ordinance Monday night it became illegal to park any kind of vehicle r\Y\ nnxr r\n r\ f "D i r3rrr?Trrr\*r C4A4J yuiv Vi Ol/i CCU CA" cept on the southern side of the block between Main street and Front street. In other words, it is unlawful to park on this street except in front of the Baptist church and Mrs. Arrington's home and only on one side of the thoroughfare here. When the work of improving this street will get underway is unknown, but the Highway Department required that the Town Board pass the ordinance forbidding parking before the job is undertaken. A copy of the ordinance passed Monday night is printed below: "On and after the 8 day of April, 1935, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to park any automobile or other vehicle on Ridgeway Avenue in the town of Warrenton between the Western corporate limits of said Town and Front Street, and on the Northern side of said Ridgeway Avenue between Front Street and Main Street. Any violation of this ordinance shall be punished by a fine not to exceed five dollars for each affence. "Ordinance duly passed the 8th day of April, 1935. " T. B. GARDNER, Clerk. Churches Select Scout Sponsors The churches in town have selected three men from each church to sponsor the Boy Scouts in Warrenton. Baptist?Mr. A. C. Blalock, Mr. R. H. Bright, Mr. J. B. Bell. Episcopal?Mr. M. C. McGuire, Mr. E. E. Gillam, Mr. W. R. Boyce. Methodist?Mr. John Burwell Sr., Mr. Martin Davis, Mr. R. B. Boyd Jr. Presbyterian?Mr. H. R. Skillman, Mr. Fitzhugh Reid, Mr. Howard Daniel. The men from these groups met and selected the f ollowing committees: Court of Honor Committee?Mr. V. F. Ward, Mr. H. R. Skillman. Mr. Walter Gardner. Finance Chairman?Mr. R. H. Bright. Camping Chairman?Mr. W. R. Boyce. Civic Duty Chairman?Mr. S. E. Duriuugiis. Publicity Chairman?Mr. J. Edsvard Allen. On March 30, in the Parish House of Emmanuel Episcopal Church the troop committee held a Court of Honor. At that time the following boys went up for First Class Scout awards: John Bruce Bell, Oharles Tucker, Billy Peete, William Ward, Sam Pinnell, Ralph Williams. On Friday, April 5th, Mr. C. A. Tucker gave the boys questonnaires to answer. After answering these the boys sealed each in an envelope and turned them in to Mr. Tucker. He in turn gave them to the troop committee. The troop committee held a meeting on Sunday, April 7, and selected the boy to go to the National Jamboree in Washington from August 21st. to 30th. Ralph Williams was selected to go to the National Jamboree. The troop has added to its equipment thirty Merit Badge pamphlets. The Golf Club has extended to the Scouts the privilege of the * j waav swimming pool one aay eacu wccn.. The Scouts wish to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Golf Club for this favor. In order to carry on the Boy Scout work it is necessary to have a small amount of funds. Mr. Bob Bright and Mr. M. C. McGuire have charge of the finances. The boys are looking for odd jobs to make money to buy uniforms. If you have a small job please call a Scout. Character is a process of Scout development; of the individual becoming gradually conscious of himself, of the world in which he lives, of what it is he really wants to do with the faculties that have been given to him. Not from any outside order, because the desire of the boy to be a Scout is the urge of the Divine in him, working its way out, (Continued on Page 4) lip ffi TON, COUNTY OF WARRE1 ! ^ First | DURHAM, N.

Coroner's Jury Blames Whiskey For Negro's Death Excessive alcohol and exposure caused the death of Jim Henderson Jr., 23-year-old negro who was found dead early Monday morning on the farm of J. C. Watkins near Drewry, a coroner's jury, empaneled by Coroner Jasper Shearin, said in its verdict. Evidence before the jury was that Henderson was drinking with several other negroes on Sunday night and at that time was in a drunken condition. The jury empaneled by Coroner Shearin was composed of J. T. Ellington, B. R. Rooker, W. M. Fleming, J. A. Wilson Jr., N. H. Paschall and R. C. Mitchell. Dog Discovers Stolen Meat A police dog lead to the recovery of part of the meat alleged to have been stolen from Eddie Moss, negro who lives near the Airport, when his smokehouse was broken into on Tuesday night and robbed of two middlings, one shoulder and stand of home-made lard. j~ j 5? The dog, the property of Carey Wilson, retrieved a piece of the meat from some place back of the home of Sid Overby. The lard was found hid in honeysuckle between the home of Moss and Sam Wilson. BEFORE COURT OF APPEALS John Kerr Jr. spent Thursday in Richmond where he appeared in cases before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Il THKUUUH LArj By BESS HIT ] TOUCHY?As the length of the General Assembly grows members are beginning to display evidence of developing "nerves". Arising to points of personal privilege to "bawl out" some member or some newspaper editor,, are becoming numerous as they have a habit of doing in sessions that run into the payless period beyond the constitutional 60 days. Finger-pointing and fist-shaking will soon be the order of the days if the boys don't get their troubles ironed out and go back home. LIQUOR?There can be no doubt that sentiment in favor of the Hill liquor bill is growing among members of the Legislature. It still appears doomed but only a few converts are needed to put the measure across. Members show a decided notion not to cut the appropriations bill drastically and if these troubles over taxes are not settled pretty soon you are going to see a great drive to put the Hill bill through. EARLY BIRDS?John A. ivicrutf, of Charlotte, has joined Colonel T. LeRoy Kirkpatrick, of the same City, in announcing for Governor on the Democratic ticket. In Raleigh various stories are being told about the intentions of Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby Attorney, and Congressman R. L. Doughton regarding the Governorship.

C., FRIDAY, APRIL 12 RELIEF OFFICE IS MOVEDUPSTAIRS Offices Better Suited For Increasing Needs Of Local Relief Workers MORE ROOM AVAILABLE The Emergency Relief Office, which has been located in the corner of the Dameron building for more than a year, has moved into offices in the upstairs of the building. The change from downstairs to upstairs was made, it was said, in order to have more room and better organize the relief work which is beingi carried on in a large scale over this county. No relief labor is being taken on at present to assist in the construction of the hardsurface road leading from Liberia to Essex, it was learned from relief headquarters here. However, it was said, ''we are hoping to place some men on this project at an early date." Miss Ruby Connell Wins $25 Prize In Fertilizer Contest Ruby Connell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Connell Sr., of Warrenton has been awarded a prize of $25 in the Smith-Douglass Co. jvord contest which closed on March 20th after more than 20,000 boys and girls of North Carolina and Virginia had sent in their list. The first prize of $250 was won by Hazel Callahan, Route 3, Danville, Va.; the second prize of $150 by Martha Parker of Ahoskie, and the third prize of $100 by Ruby L. Joyce of Route 2, Sandy Ridge. Miss Connell was one of ten who won $25 prizes. Among the 100 winners of $5 prizes were Harry Miller Bowers of .Littleton, Doris Pinnell of Warren| ton, and Ella C. Pinnell of War renton. Two hundred and fifty prizes of $1 have been awarded. Among the winners in this class were Helen 'Hunter of Areola, Jesse Martin, Star Route, Warrenton, Esther iHecht of Norlina, Paul William j Hecht of Norlina, Anrta Belle !

The Smith-Douglass Co., fertilizer manufacturers of Norfolk, Va., offered $2,000 in prizes for the most English words from the name Smith-Douglass, with the results announced above. Farm boys and girls of this section were represented in every group of prize winners with the exception of the first group of $250, $150 and $100 prizes and the second group of $50 prizes. 1TAL KEYHOLES fTON SILVER failed entirely and a lot of folk believe his campaign is well underway. LITTLE CHANCE?A private poll! of the Legislature reveals that the batch of bills sent down from Washington by Secretary Ickes designated to put cities and counties in the general business of generating and selling power have little chance 'of passage. Two measures, drawn by J the State Rural Electrification Commission, are much more" mod Commission, are much ore modest and have the backing of the Ehringhaus administration. However, if they get by it will be a close squeeze. RAIDS?The raids on your gasoline tax money have gotten away to a good start. The General Assembly has voted to spend $500, ,000 of it annually in keeping up I City Streets and it looks like $1, j 630,000 is going to be diverted to the General fund during the coming years. It also appears likely that some of the gasoline taxes are going into county treasuries before long in the form of paying the counties for roads they built before the highway commission had the money. Better get your own ! road in shape before the diversion party gets any livelier.

CHIMNEY CATCHES FIRE; FIRE COMPANY CALLED OUT Sparks and flames leaping into the air from a chimney drew the fire company and a large majority of the inhabitants of the town to the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Rodwell in north Warrenton on Wednesday evening around 7 o'clock. The fire was brought under control without water from the town supply being thrown on the residence and no damage resulted.

Believe Mi To Fight No Cotton Missing From Warehouse, Purdy Reports No cotton is missing from the Warrenton Bonded Warehouse, Charlie Purdy, who is in charge there, stated this week to a representative of this newspaper in response to rumors which have circulated here and throughout the county since the Peck Manufacturing Company closed down last week and went into temporary receivership this week. "Every bale of cotton placed in the Warrenton Bonded Warehouse has been checked up and accounted for by government authorities,'' Mr. Purdy stated. "In fact," he said, "the cotton is there to speak for itself." Although the Peck Manufacturing Company and the Bonded Warehouse are similarly located, they are operated under entirely different set-ups, it is understood. New Supply Of Blanks Arrive At Seed Loan Office The arrival on Monday of a new supply of government loan application blanks brought a burst of activity to the upstairs of the court house this week as farmers from different sections of Warren county stirred themselves to secure from Uncle Sam funds with which to finance their 1935 crop. J. C. Howard, who represents the government here, said yesterday that he received 500 of the blanks on Monday and since that time he and his office force have been swamped with requests for loans. Fifty of the blanks were received here in time for the loan office tc open last wfeek tout these were giont soon after their arrival here, leaving Mr. Howard and his force with a large number of applicants but with no material to work with. Under the present set-up applicants from two townships are being received a day. Those who are unable to make a request for a loan at the appointed time will be given an opportunity to do so later when the time for residents of their respective townships to apply comes around again. The present schedule under which townships are taken care of is as follows: Nutbush?Monday morning. Smith Creek?Tuesday morning. Hawtree?Tuesday afternoon. Sixpound?Wednesday morning. Judkins?Wednesday afternoon. Fishing Creek?'Thursay morning Fork?'Thursday afternoon. Sandy Creek?Friday morning. Shocco?Friday afternoon. Warrenton?Saturday morning. Smith Does Not Choose To Talk New York, April 11.?The presidential candidacy of former Governor Alfred E. Smith was publicly proposed last night, but Smith declined to discuss the matter today. Asked whether or not he "chose to run" in the next election, the 1928 Democratic presidential candidate dispatched word from his office that he had "nothing to say." In identical phraseology he dismissed an announcement made by Charles G. Hellinger, president of National List, Inc., that about 4,200 prominent merchants and lawyers throughout the country had united to boom him as the next president. Hellinger said the movement, called "Alfred E. Smith for president," would start with a meeting in Chicago early this summer.

The receivership was petitioned for by H. C. Smithers, R. K. Dawson and Collins Hill, trading as Holmes and Dawson. In petitioning for a receivership, the plaintiff alleges "that the defendant, The Peck Manufacturing Company, is indebted to the plaintiff for the delivery of 262 bales of cotton, for which said plaintiff holds said Peck Manufacturing Company Warehouse receipts, and which said Peck Manufacturing Company has failed and refused to deliver although demands have been made therefor." v?? here on Thursday night of last week for Texas.
