Our doctor's sevenear-old son had been five weeks in he hospital at the county seat. Vord had come that the specialists iad given up hope. "Can't anything be done? somene asked. "The child is in the lands of God," was all the doctor ould say. "Then let's try God," aid Mr White, the minister. Ora Dubois, at the telephone ex hange, called up everybody on the armers' lines. "Come to the church onight, to pray for Billy Persing! 5y word of mouth the call ran hrough the village. That night the hurch was crowded ,and no more ervent prayers ever rose to the 'hrone of Grace than went up from hat little country town. Next morning good news came rom the hospital. The boy seemed etter. Next day they said he had chance. The bhird day, a decided l m _tl_ i. -f ! mprovement. Anoiner aay?out oi anger! Do our New England folk still elieve in the power of prayer? Ve hear much of the decline of he ancient faith of our fathers. It 5 still a living force, up here in icrkshie. 'AITH today I know a surprisingly large num- 1 er of people who tell me that they : lave found courage to face the ecoiomic disasters that have befallen hem, and peace of mind such as hey have never known in prosperous times, through a renewal of heir faith in Divine Providence, iot only are the congregations *rger in the churches of all sects, ut non-sectarian groups and cults re drawing greater numbers to iear the simple Gospel message. I saw hundreds turned away for i ick of room, not long ago, at one : f the tri-weekly religious meetings i the grand ballroom of one of : rewT York's largest hotels. I know : ne woman who draws hundreds to 1 iear her "inspirational" talks on 1 'riday afternoons. These people are seeking help to djust their minds and spirits to he realities of life. Many of them i re succeeding, and they are the i nly really happy people I know, i 'OUTH experience Whenever I hear someone declar- i lg that there is one sure way to i et everything right, my first in- ; uiry is: "How old are you?" The i urer he is that he has discovered he panacea, the younger he is kely to turn out to be. As one gets older, he is not so ure that the world needs a comlete remodeling, nor that it would e the better for being "done over," i ven if that were possible. ! I am constantly being reminded i f a remark of Dr. Benjamin i owet, the famous "Master of i Salliol," to one of his graduating |1 Inccos at. Ovfnrri !l "Even the youngest of you," he aid, "is not infallible!" < OLITICS .... this fall The Presidential Campaign of j: 936 is already under way. The i ireliminary skirmishes will be atj: he "odd-year" elections this Fall. ; )n the outcome of such village, awn and county elections the na- 1 ional elections may possibly hinge :ext year. All other things being 1 qual, the party that has the best nd most far-reaching organization tands the better chance of victory, 'arty organization must begin at he grass-roots. The party with he most men in local public offices ias the strongest organization. The odds are always with the ins." It always takes a pretty eep and widespread change in pubic sentiment to oust whichever larty happens to control the jobs. ?'4MTV nr nrice?

It is the plan of this j.c newspaper to give its rural readers a news and information in a brightly n( edited feature farm section, without any additional cost to subscri- w bers. b( The State Farmer Section is ed- aj ited by agricultural news writers \y of many years experience. It covers every agricultural endeavor, and r every farm commodity produced commercially in the two states. Its - ? ?.ill M A AMMWM ! /* ?Tri4-V? eaitors win uuupcicttc wnu mm* state farm news services at Raleigh and Clemson, and will also main- jC tain correspondents in New York, tl Washington and the two state capi- jr tals. Its columns are open to its m readers for comment and sugges- p tions, and ^t invites the co-operation of all county agents. h The New York correspondent will m contribute the latest market infor- Ci mation on all cash crops grown in ^ the Carolinas, and in addition, will m cover t'he activities of competing ic areas, so that producers here may be appraised of all activities on the 0] commodities they are raising. All o< to the end that the farmers of this oi community may be aided in secur- p; ing better prices and larger prof- 0( its, with which they can more adequately enjoy their life on the farm, h: improve t'heir living conditions and d< properly educate their children. tl There will be something of inter- F est to every member of the family in our State Farmer Section?4-H 01 Club, vocational agricultural and b; Future Farmer news for the boys R and girls, and a page of particular o< interest to rural housewives. Included in the initial pi?senta- I tion are articles and news siories prepared by state and national leaders in this field. Among the contributors, and some of the subjects they discuss, are as follows: si Alfred D. Stedman, Assistant Ad- ^ ministrator of the AAA, and the ^ man who is responsible for all AAA S( news releases, writes exclusively for n our State Farmer Section on "Far- dl mers and frhe Facts"?a discussion ^ of the basic idea of farmer self- C( government.

BRIGHT, County Agent All tobacco producers that have signed contracts should comply with , the contract at once. There are ' several rulings that may be applied to all contracts. t There is a ruling that permits a ! contract signer to plant 90 per cent ! of his or her acreage. All producers ? were given 85 per cent of their oase ' acreage in 1935 and their rental will be one half of the rental received in 1934. If the producer takes the | 90 per cent, his rental will be one( fourth of the 1934 rental. A few 1 producers have planted to exceed the 85 per cent but have not ex1 ceeded the 90 per cent and may har! vest the acreage planted provided they accept the reduction in rental. Some producers have planted to exceed the 90 per ceht and those producers that have a base acreage greater than three and two-tenths i acres must destroy sufficient acreage to qualify under the 90 per cent or the 85 per cent. Those producers that have a base acreage of three and two-tenths or . less may plant and harvest their base acreage up to three acres, and , sell their base pounds provided the i total pounds do not exceed 2.400 lbs. Those producers that take advantage of this ruling will not rei ceive any rental or parity payments. Within the next few days a letter will go out from this office requesting information concerning the 1935 selling card. In this letter your total pounds that you will be permitted to sell will be shown. In this letter you are requested to advise this office how many selling cards you wish issued and the pounds that are to be entered on each card. An envelope that does not require any postage will be enclosed. All producers are requested to fill out the form and return it to this office promptly. I will not be able to issue selling cards until this form is received in this office. Contract signers may have cards made in the names of tenants if they request it. I am not permitted to issue selling cards to any producer that has not complied with his contract. There will not be any allotments this year. All tobacco must be sold under a regular base contract or a special base contract. Deputy To Assist In Policing Town Roy Shearin, chief deputy of Sheriff W. J. Pinnell, will assist in (looking after the peace of Warrenton until a new man is named to I replace Chief M. M. Drake who resigned early last week, a member 1 of the town board stated yesterday. Mr. Shearin comes on the town force through the cooperation of Sheriff Pinnell, who pays lf.n out of his salary to serve as deputy. He is still working with Sheriff Pin1 nell and will assist him in looking ! after the law enforcement of the j county, but he will be on duty at Warrenton from 12 o'clock in the ' day until 12 o'clock at night, j While Deputy Shearin is working with Night Officers Lee Wilson and Kenneth Short in looking afjter the peace of Warrenton, he will probably be compensated by the town, this member of the board stated. i There have been around 15 applicants for the place of Chief of: Police of Warrenton since this position was vacted by Chief Drake, but it is not expected that a man will be named permanently before the commissioners have had time to give this problem considerably | thought. One Out Of 100 | Adults Are In JaiL t Raleig?h, July 18?For every hundred North Carolinians of 18 years or older, one was sentenced to 'prison or prison camp for 30 days or longer during the fiscal year| ending June 30, yesterday's report. of npnal division of the State Hiffh- I way and Public Works Commission revealed.

NUMBER 28 ?i I itTTirnirnit nmAnn WIMM MUM OPENS MONDAY Legal Sale Of Alcoholic Beverages Permitted For First Time In 27 Years 100 BRANDS OF LIQUORS Legal liquor sales will be inaugurated in Warrenton and Littleton at 9 o'clock Monday morning, making it possible to purchase intoxicating beverages in this county under the law for the first time since North Carolina outlawed the liquor traffic and adopted prohibition in 1908, or 27 years ago. The first alcoholic beverage store will start business under authority of a vote of the people of this county on Saturday, July 6, when by a vote of 1281 to 669 Warren decided for a new liquor control system under a bill inacted into law by the 1935 General Assembly. The store at Warrenton will be operated in the White building, between the Motor Sales Co. and the Scoggin Motor Co. on Main street. A lease has been taken on this building by the liquor control board, and extensive repairs and alterations have been made. Two doors have been provided for the building, one for entering and the other for 'U leaving after purchases have been l\ made, and across the entire front a ' A\ counter has been built. Back of this counter are shelves which will ' , accommodate 1200 cases of alcoholic beverages. Around 100 different brands of ' whiskeys, wines and gin will be on ' hand when the store opens on Mon' day morning, a member of the con' trol board stated. It was pointed out the county did not provide any ' funds with which to purchase whls| key and for this reason all the ' brands could not be stocked at once; however, it was said, most of the popular brands will be represented on the shelves of the two stores in this county. ' The first shipment of whiskey arrived at Warrenton on Tuesday > and was carried to the jail for sate: keeping-. On Wednesday 66 addi' tional cases arrived and were placed in the store here, and three f more shipments are scheduled to ! arrive on Monday and Tuesday of i next week. Wednesday morning, J. P. Welch, deputy clerk with the Internal Rev enue Department, was here and coli lected taxes required for operating i whiskey stores. Twenty-five dollars is the charge for selling legal whisi key. With the opening of the store next week, it is expected that one ; or possibly two federal officers will appear in this county to assist in I curbing' the sale of bootleg liquor. The control board may also strike ?at bootlegging by using 5 per cent of the profit from the sale of alcoholic beverages to hire officers, de, tectives, or attorneys to prosecute. This is provided for in the bill which permitted whiskey to be sold by 18 counties, provided these counties voted for the control act. The Warren County Control Board, as chosen by the County Commissioners after the election was carried two weeks ago, consists of J. B. Boyce, chairman; H. F. Bonney and Early Moseley. Laurie Beddoe was appointed by the control board to manage the store at Warrenton, and R. W. Harvey will be in charge of the store at Littleton. Mr. Beddoe will be assisted by Charlie Haithcock and Mr. Harvey will be assisted by M. P. Nicholson. COUNTY ADVANCES NO FUNDS FOR CONTROL BOARD To protect the county against any possible loses in connection with the opening of whiskey stores, the Board of Commissioners adopt! - ed the following resolution at the same time the Control Board was named: "resolved that the Board of Commissioners for the County of Warren do not advance for the use of the Warren County Alcoholic Beverages Control Board any sum or sums of money and that the said control board make no engagements or incur any expense upon the faith of the Board of Commissioners of Warren County or the county of Warren; and that the Board of Commissioners for the County of Warren make no advances to frhe Warren County Alcoholic Beverages Control Board or any person, firm or corporation, and that it hereby decline to be responsible to said control board or to any person, firm or corporation for any sum or sums of money whatsoever, goods, whiskies, supplies, salaries, rents, labor, furnishings, equipment, pledges, endorsements, advertisements, stores, warehouses, or any other expense or engagement whatsoever."
