Officers Enforcing Light Law Keep * ? * ?-* Mechanics Busy Twenty-five or thirty motorists driving with improper lights, were stopped at Warrenton on Saturday night by Highway Patrolman Paul Welch, who was stationed here lasl week, and town officers, and told that they must comply with the law which requires all vehicles U have at least three lights?two in front and one behind. The motoring public, it was stated, accepted the warning in fine spirit and set about at once to remedy the situation. The sudden tightening down ol the light law sent automobiles and trucks rolling into the garages tc give mechanics one of the heavies; nights of work that they have ex. perienced in months. Patrolman Welch stated this weefc that he thought:the. public has had ample warning by now anc that in the future he would star; to carrying people into court whe failed to regard the law. Two Defendants Face Judge Taylor In County Couri One negro who cut the woman he was living with and another whc escaped while working the roads under the supervision of the State Highway and Public Works Com mission were the only two defendants tried in Recorder's court thLweek.

Judge Taylor sentenced Hargrove to the roads for four months, sub. ject to the findings of a doctor af. ter a physical examination. The report of the examining physiciar led Judge Taylor to cut the sen. tence to two months. Garrett Massenburg, negro wht escaped from the roads, was giver a three months sentence, to beglr at the expiration of the presen' term he is serving. rrn? o-r, _TnVm IXTpsh J-I1C L/Cli)C agauiov ** vw.t Ramey, charged with cruelty t< animals, was postponed until Sep tember 30, there being no othe: session of Recorder's court unti that time on account of Superioi I court being in session here for twi I weeks.

Plans Under Way For Reorganization Of Peck Company Plans are under way for reorganizing the Peck Manufacturing Company, textile concern which was thrown into bankruptcy several months ago, it was learned yesterday from Judge Thomas Calvert, who was appointed trustee 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 satisfactnrv agreement whereby the mill may continue to rim 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 rath1 er than thrown on the market to 6 the highest bidder. ^ The proposed plan of reorganiza: tion is to be submitted before ' Judge Meekins at Elizabeth City 1 at 11 o'clock on Saturday, September 28, Judge Calvert stated. I Claims which have been filed ! against the mill since it was thrown into bankruptcy were gone over Tuesday at the court house in ' Warrenton before W. I. Halstead ' of South Mills and Elizabeth City, ? who was appointed Special Master ' by Judge Meekins. Most of the claims were approved in toto, however, there were several, where : persons filed claims for the loss of I cotton which was later , found in I the Bonded Warehouse, which were ' approve? in part until efforts had > been made to secure the cotton from the warehouse. Judge Calvert said that he did not know when the claims which were approved Tuesday morning would be paid. It depends, he said, ; on how the plans of reorganization are carried through. 1 Three Men To Be Stationed At .

I the tobacco market, rl Mr. Boyd, a native of Warrenton 11 has been in the tobacco business t* I here for a number of years, and not 31 only has he been active in working I towards improving the Warrenton I tobacco market, but he has also I taken an active part in other af11 fairs of the town.

Sinclair of Fayetteville To Preside Over September Session MAY HEAR BANK CASE 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 exchanged terms with Judge Walter 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 former offocial | tne case agamov of the defunct Bank of Warren will be tried at this term. This case has been scheduled for trial several 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 rim 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 ohe murder charge on the crinqfinal docket this term, this case hang aghinst Ed Camp^y *" - ^? <*- ?a _ bell, young negro wno suaDDea ? 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 ?1JJ1- Aurvnet- lmrfor "ts nno 1116 II11UU1U Ui AUgUOl/ iutuv* yvjv?w bond. Other cases scheduled to be tried at this term are as follows: Creighton Kelly and J. M.
