C., Plans Under Way For Reorganization Of Peck Company Plans are under way for reorganizing the Peck Manufacturing Company, textile concern ivhioh was thrown into bankruptcy several months ago, it was learned yesterday from Judge Thomas PQluorf nrVin woo orvrvmn+nrl frnofon TT iiu uuo u|y^;uuiuV/U u uobuv by Judge Meekins of Elizabeth City after the mill was declared in a state of bankruptcy. The proposed plan of reorganization has not been definitely agreed upon, it is understood, but those in close touch with the situation are of the opinion that the large creditors will reach a satisfactory agreement whereby the mill may continue to run in the event the plan is not rejected by Judge Meekins, who has jurisdiction over the matter. Efforts were made some time ago to reorganize the mill and give all the creditors who had claims of $50.00 or more first mortgages on the property, but this plan was rejected by the Citizens Bank & Trust Co. of Henderson, one of the largest creditors. Since that time, it was learned from a reliable source, the bank has agreed to join the other creditors in efforts to have the mill reorganized rather than thrown on toe market to the highest bidder. The proposed plan of reorganization is to be submitted before Judge Meekins at Elizabeth City at 11 o'clock on Saturday, September 28, Judge Calvert stated. Claims which have been filed against the mill since it was thrown into bankruptcy were gone aver Tuesday at the court house in Warrenton before W. I. Halstead af South Mills and Elizabeth City, who was appointed Special Master by Judge Meekins. Most of the tlaims were approved in toto, howaver, there were several, where persons filed claims for the loss of jptton which was later found in the Bonded Warehouse, which were approved in part until efforts had aeen made to secure the cotton Frnm t.hp warehouse. Judge Calvert said that he did lot know when the claims which vere approved Tuesday morning vould be paid. It depends, he said, m how the plans of reorganization ire carried through. Three Men To Be Stationed At Local Airport The goevrnment airport near Warrenton, regarded as one of the iest in the state, will become of -eal significance in the near future vhen the government stations ;hree men here with a teletype to teep air pilots informed of weather conditions in this section. A watch house is already being Constructed at tiie landing field by H. P. Reid, contractor, and it is expected that as soon as this building is completed men will come here to install the instrument. The men who will be in charge Df the teletype are government officials from Atlanta, Ga., Mr. Reid said yesterday. He expects to complete his job of constructing the ivatch house by the end of this week and notify the men at Atlanta that his work is done. Mr. Reid also stated that he was told by one of the government officials that similar instruments for keeping the government informed as to weather conditions are to be located in Virginia and South Carolina. MOVE TO OXFORD Warrenton reluctantly bids au ? * -T revoir to the R. B. Boya or. mum, which has hioved to Oxford where Mr. Boyd has been stationed on the tobacco market. Mr. Boyd, a native of Warrenton has been in the tobacco business here for a number of years, and not only has he been active in working towards improving the Warrenton tobacco market, but he has also taken an active part in other af-i fairs of the town. Both he and Mrs. Boyd, as well as their children, will be missed from the business, social and religious life of the town. Misses Mary and Lalla Thompson of Durham spent last week with their uncle, Mr. R. O. Snipes. Mr. V. B. Snipes of Richmond visited his brother, Mr. R. O. Snipes, last week. I id Tob itrmt * FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1 ' SUPERIOR milRT UUi lillivii vvuin BEGINS MONDAY ? Judge N. A. Sinclair of Fayetteville To Preside Over September Session MAY HEAR BANK CASE r Judge N. A. Sinclair of Fayetteville will preside over the September term of Warren County Superior court which convenes here on Monday morning at 10 o'clock for a two week's term. Judge Sinclair comes to Warrenton as a jurist next week for the first time in ten years. He presided here in 1925 and was scheduled to come to Warrenton to hold court in 1930 but at this time he tprms with Judge Walter CAtliaugvu WW. _ Small of Elizabeth City. Whether Judge Sinclair will find Warren's criminal docket light or heavy when he comes to Warrenton this time depends on whether the case against the former offocial of the defunct Bank of Warren will be tried at this term. This case has been scheduled for trial several I times since the bank failed in 1931 but has been continued from time to time for various causes. At the May term it was continued on account of the fact that G. B. Gregory, cashier, suffered an attack of appendicitis just before court opened. The opinion of those closely connected with the matter is that the case will be tried at this term. Should the bank case be tried it will probably mean that criminal court will run into the second week. If it is postponed the criminal docket will perhaps be completed within three or four days. However, there are sufficient cases of a civil nature to occupy the attention of court throughout the second weak, it was stated. There Is only ofae murder charge on the criminal-.docket this term, this case b4ng -agJdnst fid Campbell, young negro who stabbed a member of his race to death on the streets of Warrenton a year ago. ed at this term, this case will probed at this term, this case wil probably prove of outstanding interest to the people of the eastern section of the county. Lancaster is charged with assaulting John Alston, prominent lumberman of the Odell section, with a weed hoe. The injuries received by Mr. Alston necessitated him being carried to a Roanoke Rapids hospital where he remained in a critical condition for several weeks. While Mr. Alston was hovering between life and death, Mr. Lancaster was confined in the Warren county jail, but as the injured man improved Mr. Lancaster was allowed bond. He was released from jail " 3 AC AAA the middle 01 Auguso uuuer fu,uuu bond. Other cases scheduled to be tried at this term are as follows: Creighton Kelly and J. M. Ellington, larceny. They are alleged to have stolen 40 pounds of Apple tobacco, which was being shipped to the Warrenton Grocery Co., from a box car. John Waston is charged with larceny. He is accused of stealing about ten bales of lint cotton from W. J. Watson. Harry Lee, Ardical Miller and Thomas Royster, Greensboro negroes, are charged with breaking, entering and larceny. It is alleged that they broke into the Spot Store at Littleton and stole merchandise valued at around $175. Two of these negroes escaped jail a short time before the May term of court and have not been captured. Willie Lewis is also charged with (Continued on Page 0) Senator Long Is Laid To Final Rest Senator Huey P.

Dr. Carl Weiss, young eye specialist who fired the fatal shot into the body of Senator Long in the hall of the Louisiana State capitol at Baton Rouge, was riddled with! bullets from guns of the senator's guardsmen.

' t Young Negro Who Escaped From Jail c Is Recaptured J Eddie Campbell, 19-year-old negro 1 who escaped with David Allgood, negro, from the Warren county jail c last Thursday morning after one of the prisoners 'had picked the lock to their cell with a brace torn irom ^ a stepladder and fashioned into a ( tool, was taken into custody last c Thursday night at Parktown, negro ^ settlement in Shocco township, several hours after Allgood had been run down by bloodhounds brought ^ here from Rocky Mount and returned to jail. Officers encountered no difficulty in arresting Campbell when they went to Parktown after receiving a report from a member of his race c that he was in hiding there. He ' was being held in jail charged with the murder of James Johnson, young negro who was stabbed or. the streets of Warrenton more than a year ago. At t>he time of the ^ crime Campbell fled and remained a fugitive from Justice until several months ago when he was spotted | in Virginia, arrested, and brought to the Warrenton jail to face a * murder charge in Superior court. Allgood was in jail for the larceny J of a bicycle at Norlina. W. C. Bobbitt 1 Resigns As Member 11 Of Town Board \ t W. C.
