Davis Dies Suddenly On Wednesday Night John S. Davis, former Representative from Warren county in the General Assembly at Raleigh, died suddenly Wednesday night about 9 o'clock at his home at Creek. Had he lived until August, he would have been 64 years of age. Funeral services were conducted from his home on Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock by the Rev. R. E. Brickhouse, Baptist minister of Warrenton. Interment followed in the Davis burying ground at Creek. Mr. Davis was found dead at his barn about 9 o'clock Wednesday night by Alton Pridgen, who had been summoned by Mrs. Davis after she became alarmed over his disappearance. He had been on the porch talking with her about sundown and sometime later he disappeared and could not be found. When Mr. Davis was found by Mr. Pridgen he was resting on a I stool just outside of the barn. The , presumption is that he went out to feed his team and upon reaching the barn suffered a heart attack. Mr. Davis* health began to break about two years ago and at that time he underwent a major operation. Since then he has suffered | from heart trouble and a complication of diseases. Although his phyj sical condition has not permitted him to carry on farming operations for some time, he has been able to get about and was in Warrenton most every day. Wednesday he was (Continued on Page 8) Miss Mattie Davis Dies At Hospital Funeral services for Miss Mattie Davis of near Kittrell, who died in a Henderson hospital Wednesday night, will be conducted at Fairview cemetery this morning at 11:30 o'clock.

The greater part of the morning was taken up in discussing, the feasibility of the county giving financial backing to a plan of purchasing equipment to terrace land in Warren county, and listening to representatives 01 equipment concerns go through their sales talk, and most of the afternoon was spent in listening: to appeals for funds to relieve suffering among the poor. The commissioners decided that the county would not underwrite the proposition to buy a tractor and terracing machine until 4000 acres of land have been pledged for terracing by reliable farmers. The pauper list was increased by about a dozen names, with donations in practically all the cases being two or three dollars per month. In addition to these two timeconsuming problems, the commissioners passed' resolutions asking that the processing tax not be removed, appropriated $100 for a cable to go across Roanoke river at Eaton's Ferry so people living in that section of Warren could get back and forth across the river without going around by Steel Bridge, attended to some tax matters, and appointed Miss Gayle Tanvater to write the 1935 tax receipts.

Graham may have announced his candidacy for Governor in the Democratic primaries next spring. If not it will be forthcoming wnmn the next few days. The second 'high man in the State government has not tried to keep it a secret that he will run but has withheld announcement until his duties as presiding officer of the State Senate are complted. HOEY?The opinion that Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby Democratic wheelhorse, has been strengthened in j Raleigh since the withdrawal of Congressman R. L. Daughton, who decided he was needed as chairman of the national House Ways and Means Committee. Hoey also is ! withholding formal announcement until after the legislature adjourns at which time he will tell the State of his intentions.

HUMANE?A man is just as dead when you kill him with lethal gas as if you electrocute him but social leaders say that passage of the Peterson bill to substitute gas for electrocution in capital punishment is a great stride in the right direction.

GRABBED IT?The General Assembly voted to apply the sales tax to gasoline and instead of requiring you to pay the three per cent levy it will be taken from the money you are paying for roads will be used each year for other purposes. Already the State has been taking' a million dollars a year out of the j gasoline fund. Friends of good roads fear that there will be a movement? at the next legislative session to take your gasoline taxes to pay' county bonds. LIQUOR? Advocates of liquor control were chagrined at the State ( Senate's action in killing the local option measure but they have ex- i tended their hopes to the 1937 legislative session.

Long before the 34 seniors marched from the hall down the isle of the auditorium beneath a daisy chain to the stage all the seats in the auditorium and balcony naa been filled. The crowd continued to come as the exercises got underway until standing room was at a premium. It was estimated that a thousand persons were present to witness the final exercises. The exercises opened with a flower chain processional by the juniors after which the seniors rendered a song to the juniors and a welcome song. Next came the salutatory by Miss Bettie King, followed by "The Graduates Seven Guides." The Cardinal Principals of Education, health, home, learning, citizenship, leisure, character and vocation, were next presented, after which "The Spirit of Education" was given by Miss Ruby Connell. Adrian Harris presented the valedictory address, and then certificates were awarded by J. B. Miller, principal, to those students making outstanding records during the school year. Mr. Miller also awarded the diplomas to the ?A (Continued on Paee 8) Land Sales Not To Be Advertised Until August Land will not be advertised for taxes this week, as had been announced from the sheriff's office, due to the fact that a bill was passed by the general assembly a few days ago making it mandatory that this action be postponed until August. The commissioners, powerless to act in the face of this new legislation, had little to say about the I matter at their meeting here on [Monday when Miss Tarwater came before their body from the sheriff's [office with the new law in her hand. They ordered that the action of the state in the matter be recorded in their minutes. It had been expected that the land on which back taxes are due would be advertised the first week in May an announcement to this effect had emanated from the sheriff's office. Aid To Be Given Only To Workers Those who refuse to work when offered a living wage will not receive any help from the Emergency Relief Office, Miss Satterfield, senior case worker in charge here, told members of the Board of County Commissioners on Monday when she appeared before that body and explained the policy under which her organization is working. "Relief work," she said, "is not being carried on in a hand-out method, but as a real work policy. We don't just issue food orders when we have calls for aid, but we investigate every case and where people are really suffering from the lack of food and clothing, we find work for them to do if they are able to work. If their physical condition will not permit them to work, then they are the county's responsibility,'' she stated. In answer to a statement of one of the commissioners that there are cases in which able-bodied persons refuse to work, claiming that they o?n make more off of relief work (Continued on Page 8) Mrs. Hugh Coleman Dies On Wednesday Funeral services for Mrs. Hugh Coleman, who died at her home near Paschall on Wednesday night about 8 o'clock, were conducted from the home yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the Rev.

I ? m A m.r 11 t? More Acres Needed 5 Before County Will a Okeh Terracing J Four thousand acres of land will have to be pledged for terracing by reliable farmers before the county will underwrite the proposition to purchase a terracing machine and tractor, the Board of County Commissioners, in regular session here on Monday, decided. The minimum was set at 4000 acres by the commissioners to protect the county from any financial loss in the event this epuipment is purchased. The commissioners arrived at this figure after being informed that the cost of the terracing machinery is slightly in excess of $4,000 and that the charge which will be made for terracing an acree of land will be around $1.50. The terracing proposition was brought before the board and explained last month by County Agent Bob Bright. At that time he prophesied that the work would not cost the county a penny in the long run, but stated that the county migh be called upon to assist in making the payments when the work is first begun. The commissioners decided to take no action on the matter then but told Mr. Bright to get as many as 2000 acres pledged by reliable land-owners and come before the board at the May [ meeting. Accompanied by several represen- e tatives of equipment concerns and 1 others interested in having land in 1 Warren County saved from soil r erosion by terracing, Mr. Bright appeared before the board on Monday. He told the commissioners that th? s chances of getting a C. C. C. camp located at or near Warrenton would be much more favorable if the ter- f racing project was put across in 11 Warren county, explaining that this v work is being endorsed by the ad- c ministration and that labor is furnished free of charge from the C.C.

This ordinance is 1 to be enforced as soon as contain- I ers are furnished by the town. i The commissioners decided to en- c force this ordinance after a com- 3 mittee from the Garden Club, com- c posed of Mrs. Edmund White, Mrs. t W. R. Baskervill and Mrs. W. H. Dameron, appeared before the board i' and complained about the trash c | and paper from stores here blowing c j about the streets and over the town, 1' and about garbage being dumped t on the roads leading into Warren- t ton. "We have a good town and a pretty town and we should not let c | its .beauty be spoiled by paper blow- c ing about the streets, nor the ap- c I proaches to Warrenton made ugly r by dumping the trash on the high- t ways leading into town," one of the a spokesmen for the club stated. 11 Mayor Polk told the ladles that the board was not unmindful of the ] trash situation and that he was sure the commissioners would welcome any suggestion whicn wouia lena to remedy the situation.
