FOR SEED loans
Howard Begins Receiving
Applications For Loans
On Wednesday
MUST BRING $1.50 FEE
The Seed Loan Office, located
in the court house, began Wednesday
receiving applications from
farmers for government loans to
produce their 1936 crop.
While Mr. Howard and his assistants
have been busy familiarizing
themselves with the new
forms and taking care of the applicants
who have presented themselves.
they have not been rushed
by as large a number of clients as 1
will be expected as soon as word
spreads over the county that the
blanks are here ready to be filled
out. i
Mr. Howard reiterated his statemeat
of last week that all applicants
must bring $1.50 with them in
order to get the blanks filled out
and again emphasized the fact
that the loans this year are for the
little man. He stated:
The emergency crop loans will
be made only to farmers who can- ,
not obtain credit from any other
source, as provided by regulations
issued by the Governor of the Farm
Credit Administration. The money
loaned will be limited to the
farmer's immediate and actual cash
needs for growing his 1936 crops
and in no instance may exceed $200
to one farmer.
Farmers are not eligible for
emergency crop loans if they can
| borrow from an individual, produc
tion credit association, uau^, oi
other concern. Farmers will also be
considered ineligible if they have
an application pending with Resettlement
Administration, have
received assistance from tiiat organization
this year or are indebted
to the Resettlement Administration
for an unpaid loan.
"As in the past, the security for
an emergency crop loan will consist
of a first lien on the crop financed.
Landlord or ethers having
an interest in the crop to be financed
will be required to waive
their claims in favor of a liei
to the Governor of the Farm
Credit Administration until the
emergency crop loan is repaid.
"Checks in payment of approved
loans will be issued by the Regional
Emergency Crop and Feed
Ltan Office at Columbia, S. C."

closed successfully with the defeat
the strong South Hill team,
24-17. Illness prevented Clarence
Ridout and Capt. John Williams
from taking their regular places in
tile line-up. but Bill Ward and Sidney
Kline, the managers, were substituted
and their outstanding floor
games contributed to the success of
the victory.
Much praise is due Charles Lee
Terrell, Lloyd Brothers, Leonard

WARRENTON, (
signment. We ftave managcu w
take advantage of discounts by
buying in small quanties, and today
we have a liquor stock of
more than $10,000 value. In addition
to our ret profits we have
turned over some money to the
sheriff for enforcement purposes,
as required by law, and we have a
sum laid aside for depreciation.
And. above all, we think that Warren
county has three of the cleanest
stores in the state."
Mr. Boyce also stated that out
of the more than 100,000 bottles of
whiskey which had been handled
separately in the three stores of
Warren, not a one was unaccounted
for and that only three had
been lost by being dropped on the
cement floors.
Various Garments
- m
In Sevring Display
The demonstration of garments
made by relief clients working in
the sewing room of the WPA, located
in the Dameron building, was
attended by around 50 persons on
Tuesday afternoon. Punch and
cakes were served the guests after
their trip of inspection.
All types of garments were displayed,
many of which were highly
praised for their attractiveness. A
bath-robe and several small dresses
and suits were especially complimented.
In addition to these
garments, which, were made from
raw material, there were overalls,
underwear, pajamas and other
items of wearing appearel.
There are around fifteen relief
clients working in the sewing room
which is in charge of by Mrs. Martin
Hayes. Three or four garments
are made each day by each worker
and after they have been completed
they are carried to the Department
of Welfare where they are
distributed among the needy of the
county.

WTiiskey Figures
Cited Incorrect For
Warren, Says Boyce
Figures appearing in the daily
pr&ss Sunday morning relative to
the amount of whiskey which has
been sold in this state by the 64
stores which opened in seventeen
counties in less than seven months
after the general assembly had
passed acts permitting the sale of
liquor on local option at the request
of eighteen counties are incorrect
for Warren county, J. B.
Boyce, chairman of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, stated
this week.
Mr. Boyce said that the Associated
Press' survey showed that
Warren county had sold from its
three stores a total of$42,515 worth
of liquor for a net profit of $5,032
and that $1,051 had been paid to
the state in sales tax. Neither the
amount listed as sold in Warren
county, the accruing profits to the
county, nor the sum turned over
to Mr. Maxwell in the form of
sales tax is correct, the county
chairman stated. He listed the correct
figures at: Actual sales of
whiskey, net including sales tax,
$48,305.15; Actual net profit to the
county, $6,429.90; Amount of sales
tax paid, $1,392.03.
In submitting the correct figures
Mr. Boyce entered into a general
discussion of the operation of the
whiskev stores in Warren countv.
commenting on the fact that the
stores belonged to the people of the
county and not to him or to the
Contrcl Board. He said that the
stores were set up in this county
on the belief that they offered the
best means of coping with the
liquor problem?with the hope of
doing away with the bootlegger
and enabling the county to benefit
in isome measure from the money
which was being spent for illegal
whiskey. He stated that members
of the Control Board accepted appointment
on the board with the
ides, of carrying out the wishes of
the people and that no efforts had
been made to boast sales here or
to draw customers to the store,
but every effort has been made to
hande the sales in a clean and ligitimate
manner.
He continued: "We had not a
cent of money to begin operations
with when we set up the stores in
this county. Everything we bought
in the way of whiskey was on con

Jump Wanted
Negro After Pistol
Fails To Fire
Ed (Lemon) Cloleman, negro
wanted by officers for some time,
almost lost his life on Saturday
night when he was cut and bruised
in a fight that followed an argument
over a dice game.
Coleman, who lives near Macon,
said six negroes jumped on him

with knives. He had snapped a
pistol on them several times when
they realized the gun would not
shoot and they jumped him, it was
stated.
When Coleman came to Warrenton
to be treated by a negro physician,
Deputy Roy Shearin and
Officer Kenneth Short arrested him
on charges lodged against him some
time ago, and he is now being held
in jail.
Deputy Shearin said yesterday
that Coleman would probably face
charges of carrying a concealed
weapon, breaking and entering
Henry Haithcock's service station
about the sixth of January, robbing
John Wesley King shortly after
Christmas, stealing a wrist watch
off a negress who works for John
Powell, and assaults with deadly
weapon in Norlina and in Macon.
Man Jailed On

According to Magistrate W. C.
Fagg, who presided over a preliminary
hearing, Plummer and Williams
got together on the streets
of Warren ton on Saturday night |
and Williams, who had been drinking,
went with Plummer home.
Later in the evening, it was said,
Williams got Plummer to take
him home and when he reached
there he was short of $20.00 which
he had earlier in the evening.
Plummer, it was stated, admitted
taking $2.00 out of Williams' pocket
but denied getting the rest of the

Dogs To Be Given
Anti-Rabies Shots *
Again This Year s
The anti-rabies campaign, made e
manditory throughout the state by b
the past session of the legislature,
will begin in Warren County the g
first of April, one of the inspec- f
tors appointed to vaccinate dogs V
pointed out this week. w
The campaign got under way &
several months later last year than n
is anticipated for this year due to c
the fact that the law requiring all c
dogs to be vaccinated was new, and,
too, some difficulty arose in pro- C
viding the serum. e
During the campaign last year J
around 3,000 dogs were vaccinated, n

LEADERS AGREE ON DRIVE
FOR LIMITATION OF CROP
Raleigh, March 18?A whirlwind
campaign to enlist tobacco growers
in a voluntary compact to avert
economic disaster this fall will be
launched today.
The sign-up campaign, which
contemnlahAS t.ht cnnnprntfnn nf
growers of Virginia, South Carolina
and Georgia, was planned here yesterday
at a meeting of agricultural
leaders presided over by Governor
EXiringhaus in the Hail of the

to secure the, signatures of at least
80 per cent of the growers, or of
growers owning 80 per cent of the
acreage on which the 1935 tobacco
crop was produced was set in motion
immediately alter the farm
leaders unanimously had endorsed
provisions of the proposed oontract.
Under the contract, the fluecured
crop this season would be
limited to 70 per cent of the base
acreage under the old AAA.
Governor Ehringhaus was authorized
by the central steering committee
to communicate with Governor
George Perry of Virginia and
Governor Olin D. Johnston of
South Carolina to urge immediate
conferences looking to similar campaigns
in those states.
Dean I. O. Schaub of the N. C.
State College extension service told
the farm leaders a sign-up campaign
was started in Georgia yesterday
as the outgrowth of meetings
held last week, and said he
had assurances the program would
be backed there.
Steering Committee
Named to the central steering
committee to direct the drive in
North Carolina were: Claude I. Hall
of Woodsdale, who was selected
chairman; J. Con Lanier of Greenville,
who was chosen secretarytreasurer;
Dean Schaub; J. E. Wins
low or Greenville, neaa 01 tne iarm
bureau federation; Harry P. Caldwell
of Greensboro, representing
the State Grange; H. P. Foxhall of
Rocky Mount, president of the
Eastern Carolina Tobacco Warehouseman's
Association; and Titus
Currin, farmer of Oxford.
Governor Ehringhaus and Commissioner
of Agriculture William A.
Graham will be ex-offlcio members.
Printing Contracts
Lanier, with the backing of the
central committee, said printing of
200,000 contracts would be started
today and they would be placed In
the hands of county farm agents
for distribution before the end of
the week. Schaub told the committee
that there were around 100,
?' ? ? J ?\n/vnnAA_
000 growers who wouiu uc ytive
growers. Money to finance
printing, distribution and other expenses
of the campaign would be
underwritten, privately, committee
members said. State and Federal
funds are not available.
The action starting the immediate
drive culminated a four-hour
meeting, and the appellation "whirlwind"
was appended to the campaign
by the central committee.
The committee stressed the idea
the contract signing would be supplimentary
to, and not in conflict
with the new Federal soil conservation
program and with the idea of
proposed compacts between the
states.
Mr. O. R. Frazier was a visitor
in Raleigh on Wednesday.
