Storm Causes Heavy Damage In Warren Monday Hail, rain and lightning wrought heavy damages in Sixpound township on Monday afternoon, killing three mules and a cow, destroying a barn, beating down crops and washing land. From reports reaching here, Clarence Thompson and Raymond and William Harris suffered the heaviest losses from the storm, however many others living in that section had their crops damaged considerably. Mr. Thompson lost three mules when a bolt of lightning struck his barn, which had just been filled with oats, and flames leveled it to the ground. He also lost a cow which was being kept by a tenant, it was stated here. Thirty-five acres of tobacco belonging to the Messrs. Harris were practically ruined by the heavy rain and wind, it was reported here. Although there was some hail, most of the damages of the storm, except those suffered by Mr. Thompson, were from the heavy rain. The' storm swept an area about half a mile wide and two miles long. It was stated here that seven inches of rain fell during the period of the storm. Several sections in the eastern part of the county received rain during the afternoon, but no serious damages were reported from other parts of Warren. Norlina Fisherman Makes Bid For Fame By W. C. WILSON Paul Bobbitt, alias John Doe, member of a seining party from Norlina, made his bid for fame in the Ancient and Accepted Order of Anglers last Monday morning by capturing bare-handed a 19 1-4 pound German Carp in Fishing Creek near Warrenton. The catch was made about a mile above the bridge, and old timers say the feat is almost without parallel, in these parts. The intense excitement occasioned by the catch would have raised the hair on a bald-headed man. Jack Williams im Ulrn n Oft lrv* if rv JLU1UCU up Hive a juaiiuw I\nut nucu i he was struck full-force amidship by the fast charging carp. Finding that the spacious bay window of the newly elected local commissioner could neither be penetrated nor passed, the big fish changed gears, backed out of the overlapping folds of accumulating fat, and attempted an end run around Paul Bobbitt. She ran afoul of Paul's leg and for several moments the party was treated to an exhibition of a cross between the St. Vitus Dance' and the Charleston accompanied by a wholesale murder of the King's] English. To add insult to injury the immodest carp changed her course, and made a forced pass be-J tween the long legs of the trembling trainman, The whole country side adjacent to Lick-Skillet became suddenly vocal with a rapid fire of vicious vituperation as the verbose and vivacious fisherman felt himself astride the fleeing fish. Down on all fours he dropped in the shallow water of the stream. Arms, body and legs were brought into the struggle. Ham-like hands finally fastened a vise-like grip in] the gills of the giant fish, and the carp was captured amid the cheers of excited comrades. The conqueror is carrying several painfully dam-j aged fingers as the result of his fish fight, but he points with boyish pride to his injured hand as he tells the finest and freshest fish tale of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bright left Wednesday afternoon to visit the Smoky Mountain National Park. ri ion Price, $1If* . /oU Vc.crs To I Legal Sale Duke Employed To Remove Trash; Salary Is $125.00 J. H. Duke, drayman, was employed by the Board of Town Commissioners on Monday night to keep the streets of Warrenton clean. He will begin his new duties on July 15 at a cost of $125 a month. The commissioners decided to employ Mr. Duke to do this work after it had been pointed out that George and the one-horse wagon had proven inadequate in keeping the town clean and that there would be no material difference in the cost to the town in hiring a man with a truck for this job. The commissioners took another step towards keeping the town cleaner several weeks ago when containers were purchased for placement back of stores to receive trash and paper. These containers are expected to be placed this week. In addition to employing Mr. Duke and attending to routine matters, the commissioners increased their pay from $2.70 to $4.00 a meeting, which sum members of former boards received up until about two years ago when the new board came in and sliced expenditures. Fears Train Will Not Stop; Makes Jump; Is Killed Littleton, July 4.?Apparent fear that the train on which he was returning home from his first trip away would not stop at the railroad station here cost the life of Charlie Lynch, 16-year-old negro of near Essex about midnight Friday night. Coroner T. M. Cooper of Halifax county said his investigation of the death indicated that Lynch, who had been to Portsmouth, Va., on his first trip, was asleep when the porter went through calling out the Littleton stop. The youth was awakened by the calling and jumped out of a door of the train a quarter of a mile before .it got to the station. He died a few minutes later. Tommie Lynch, who was pulled off the train by Charlie, was painfully injured but his condition was not serious, the coroner said. No inquest was held. Capps To Replace Cooper At Littleton W. S. Capps has been named to replace Paul W. Cooper as principal of the Littleton High School, it was learned yesterday from Superintendent of Schools J. Edward Allen.

All the teachers of the county have been elected, Supt. Allen said, except a commercial teacher at Littleton and at Macon and a home economics teacher at Macon. Paralysis Delays Opening Of Schools Due to the presence of infantile paralysis in this county, negro schools of Warren will not open the first Monday in August as has been At? in +J-1Q noef f Via *Rnavrl I/I it LUiMUlli 111 U1C pMOV) V11U v? of Education, in session here on Monday to adopt a budget for running the schools next year, ruled. The date of opening these schools, as well as the white school of the county, will be decided at a later meeting of the board. While there were no outstanding increases in the school budget as approved by the Board of County Commissioners, provisions were made therein for hiring only adult bus drivers and for giving children physical examinations and vaccinations to prevent smallpox. "The only increases in the budget were those made necessary by debt service charges," Supt. J. Edward Allen said. Those selected to drive buses will receive $20 a month, and the routes \ they are to follow will be determin-1 ed in a conference between the I principals and Early Shearin, school bus mechanic. ( I MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME i^ff NUMBER 26 decide On Tomorrow Six Counties Have Already Voted In Favor Of Legal Sale of Whiskey VANCE VOTES 4 TO 1 Voters of Warren will go to the polls on Saturday to determine whether whiskey shall be sold legally in this county. The outcome of the refendum tomorrow will bring to a close, at least temporarily, a question which has been foremost in the minds of the people since the recent legislature passed the Pasquotank act permitting eighteen counties and two townships to determine if they are to be exempted from the Turlington Act, North Carolina's prohibition law. So far every one of the six counties which has voted on the whis quebiiuxi nab guiie uvciwiicuiiingly for the legal sale of whiskey, and two counties have alread opened up stores. At the same time Warren county citizens are casting their ballots, voters of Pasquotank, Martin, Hali- / ' j fax, Nash, Carteret, Onslow, Pitt ' 4^and Lenoir counties will be at the polls to determine if their respec- \ tive counties will fall in line with the six counties which have already voted lor control or whether they shall break away from the procedure which was set by Wilson and Edgecombe counties ten days ago. Vance county citizens voted Saturday, piling up a four to one majority for the legal sale of whiskey in that county. LITTLE EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY WAVE OF LEGAL WHISKEY Raleigh, July 4?The wave of legal liquor spread to a second Eastern North Carolina county yesterday without creating more than a ripple of excitement. Tarboro, where the first of the Edgecombe county liquor stores was opened at 1:30 in the afternoon, was not interested enough to buy more than $401.08 of the first legal liquor available in its borders 'In more than a quarter of a century. In the meantime the Wilson county store, which opened Tuesday, did almost double the business it had done the day before, due to the notice that the store wduld not be operated here today, plus the arrival of outsiders, on their way to coastal resorts. Although itinerant customers, unless they were going to other wet territory, were guilty of transportation and their cars subject to confiscation, none was stopped. No arrests for drunkenness was reported from wet territory. There was no disorder around either store.
