Claude T. I Bowers. First Lieutenant Harold R. I stillman and Second Lieutenant; AI j Hundley will leave next week for I camp Jackson. Columbia, s. C., for I 15 days of military training. I An advance detail of Company B I will leave by truck on Sunday and I tjje remainder of Warden's miliI (3ry unit will follow by train on I Wednesday. Tire men are expectI fd to fall-in at the armory on I Wednesday morning at 6:30 o'clock, I march to the Warrenton depot I where they will catch the train for I Warren Plains, and go from there I {o N'orlina where they will board a I special train for Columbia, S- C. This will be the second time that I the local company has encamped at I Camp Jackson. Company B went I ;here in 1928. but before and since I ?Mt time the local military unit has been receiving training at Camp Glenn, on the outskirts of Moretad City. It is understood that the change in camp this year was made by the War Department in order to combine the North Carolina and Tennasee National Guard troops which comprise the 60th Brigade which is commanded by Bricadier General J. van B. Metts, adjutant general of North Carolina, and to give troops training in extended order denied at Camp Glenn I on account of the swampy ground. Camp Jackson, one of the largest ramps in the United States during I the World War. and which was demobilized several years after the armistice, now has facilities for two I regiments of troops, and has been rsed regularly since the war by the I South Carolina National Guard I and for certain other troops from I this and other states in the fourth I corps area. I The soldiers are expected to undergo rigid training this year. It I is understood that they will have I an Athletics Day but there will be no shooting matches except) between contestants seeking to make the I Camp Perry team- Warren's entire company has been outstanding in its shooting for many years, having lost tiie cup but1 one time since 1928. I Atkins Says Gas Tax Unreasonable G. G. Atkins, secretary. Oil Dealers Association in Granville, Vance ar.d Warren Counties, says it is to;ii time for the motorists in this irate to crmprehend the tremendous annual toll exacted from them the form of gasoline taxes. Motorists in North Carolina pay 7Vi snts per gallon on gasoline, 6 cents state road tax, y4 cent state inaction tax. 1 cents federal taxIt-is high rate of tax is unnecessary to meet requirements of the Statelife increased number of automok:-cs registered and the increased mileage made by these cars causes ?h increase in the gallons of gas?ne used as to make this high tax sate unnecessary to meet requirements of the State. ^or instance, the gasoline tax collected in 1934 amounted to $16,i ?2.0f)0.oo. At the same rate of tax t 5as?line tax in 1935 amounted *18.359.000 00, or nearly $2,000, 1 increase in one year over the I -"fevious year. I v* ,.

The age-worn statement, which shows the amount of taxes paid into the state treasury from each county of the state and gives the names of the sheriffs into whose hands the money was paid, discloses that the total amount of taxes collected in North Carolina for the running the state government in the year 1851 amounted to $157,137.71. Warren county taxpayers paid $3,885 of this amount, which was collected by Sheriff Thomas :. Judkins. Total taxes collected for the state on land 85 years ago amount to $33,405.94, with Warren county paying $603.70 of this amount. Poll taxes for the entire state amounted to $36,133.07; for Warren county, $904.85. Taxes received by the state treasurer from all the counties in North Carolina amounted to $12,822.61. In Warren county they paid $182.36. Forty-eight dollars and forty-four cents was the sum Warrenton contributed to the state as taxes on town property. Today Warren county citizens pay $119,827.68 in taxes, while the state as a whole collects around thirtyone millions annually for running the state government. Another interesting document fmmri hv Mr. Mvrick was a deed to 92 acres of land granted to Bed-1 well Satterfield of Orange county in the Providence of North Carolina by the Right Honourable John Earl Granville in the year 1761. Virginia Teacher Joins Local Faculty The selection of Miss Mary Louise Boylston of Crew, Va., as a first grade teacher in the John Graham school completes the Board Executive Committee's task of electing three teachers to fill vacancies which occurred on the faculty of the local school at the close of the 1935-36 term. The other two teachers, Miss Prances Watson of Wilson, and Ellery J. Ward of Cumberland, Maryland, were chosen by the Ex- 1 ecutive Committee of the John 1 Graham High School Board sever- 1 al weeks ago. 1 Miss Boylston is a graduate of Winthrope College, Rock Hill, S- C. : In addition to her regular class : ?7- Jr. nm*/-J f rv hp PCnPP room WUi , i>ncr io oam i/v? ially good in public school music and dramatics.

I Brothers Pulls Game Out Of Hole Stepping from the dug-out to the mound as a relief pitcher in the fourth inning, L. C. Brothers, Jr., of Salisbury, son of the Rev, 1 and Mrs- L. C. Brothers of Warren- i ton, lifted his team from threaten- i ing defeat to victory In a game i played at Albermarle before 2,500 1 baseball fans on Tuesday of this < week. The press report from Albermarle 1 states In part: "An eight-run rally 1 by Albermarle in the fourth gave < the locals a one-run lead, but the 1 visitors came from behind and 1 clinched the victory by scoring three 1 runs in the seventh.

Terracing Unit Ends Work For Summer Months The Warren county terracing unit 'has stopped work for the summer due to the fact there is not | enough land available for terracing I that1 has not been nlanterl to eronc I G. R. McColl, assistant county agent, stated this week. Work will be resumed this fall when crops are off the land or at any time requests are sent to the county agent's office for work, he said. In discussing the work which has been done by the terracing outfit, the assistant agent stated: '"Ihe unit has built* 319,795 feet of terrace on 904 acres of eroded land in Warren county. This was done for the average' cost of $1.48 per acre and $-41 for 100 feet of terrace. Stump pulling and road building took up 32 hours of the 474 hours put in while the unit was at workThe cost of operation is $300 an hour while the machine is in the field." The work is under the direction of the county agent with Mr. McColl in charge. J. W. Limer is the grader operator and Brantley Overby is tractor operator.

FRIDAY SHOULD TRY FOIP SOIL PAYMENT Agent Says Poor Cotton Pros- R pect Should Increase Interest In Program WILL BE A GREAT HELP T s By R. H. BRIGHT W rnnnfv A^Pfit , S1 Every producer In Warren Coun- ** ty should make an effort to qualify ^ for his or her diversion payment ? and soil building payment- The cotton crop in this county is poor and a full crop cannot) be expected un- 111 der any circumstances- An early or wet fall would reduce the yield ' of cotton by at least 25%. The producers of this county may qualify ?! for $225,000 00 in diversion payments and $25,000.00 in soil building pay- m ments- This quarter of a million j dollors will be a great help this fall. I am well pleased with the efforts 0l being made to qualify. I rode by several farms and practically all p. farms had peas or some soil-build- ^ ing crop planted- Where peas or p, beans are planted in corn they should be planted at or about the th same time the corn is planted- ^ Where planted alone, broadcast or j{, in rows they must attain at least q two months growth to qualify. a, Crops are divided into two class- hi es under the present program. Soil q depleting crops and soil-building j 0f or soil-conserving crops- The soil g] depleting crops are cotton, tobacco, peanuts, corn, truck, wheat, oats, gj rye, barley and cane or any other g( crop harvested and not a legume. The chief soil-building crops in c? this county are peas, clovers, beans, d, lespedeza, austrian winter peas and j crotolaria- To qualify for payment . a farm must have at least 20% of its base cotton, tobacco and peanut acreage and 15% of all other soildepleting acreage in soil-building ni-nni- /\*? 4- V, ? nfli-ootta | V/iu^yo \ji wic icuucu avxcagw rvinwii i is the greater. I I Oj Compliance will probably start about August 1st, and all producers ! should have their soil-building crops ^ in at this time. The cost of com- , pliance will come out of the funds allocated to the farmers and all _ producers should assist supervisors ^ or committeemen in measuring the ^ various crops- Supervisors will not make any calculations in the field this year. They will make maps and give measurements and all calculations will be made in the county ^ office. This is necessary because of 111 the great amount of work to be al done. Producers in the face of this should not request supervisors to p furnish them with the areas of in fields. The producer will receive a ai copy of all measurements and areas w from the county office. . hi J. T. Delbridge c' Dies At Littleton n( tr Littleton, July 16?Joseph T.

JONES Contributing Editor I have been requested by Mrs. homas Harrington, formerly Miss allie Tannahill Pritchard, and by [rs. Robert H. Southerland, form:ly Miss Sue Jones, to furnish ich information as I may have ersonally and through my father, ho for sixty years was a steward f Shocco Church, in reference to lis Church. jway i say tnat my iainer never ilssed any service at Shocco, nor ly District Conference to which e was appointed as a delegate, ven at eighty years of age he ould mount his horse and ride to ie Conference, enjoying every inute of his visit. In writing the story of Shocco as knew it as a boy and young man, y father's name cannot be left it or that of my mother or our Dusehold. It was, as a rule, the reacher's home. In fact, when rarren Circuit was divided and the arsonage transferred, our Pastor id no official home. Then it was lat the Reverend J. R. Griffith, !rs. Griffith and their children fed in our home for months. Mr. riffith was a powerful preacher id many were converted under is ministry. I presume that the hurch records will give the names ' all the preachers who served iocco. It will be of interest to say that iocco always had a live Sunday :hool, and that the fathers and others and their families in that immunity were faithful attenints. The school went on Summer id Winter, and we would gather . the Autumn and spend a day in eparing wood for the long Winr Sabbaths. My father had the idea that it as the duty of a parent to say to is children: "Come let us go to inday School/' Never, "You boys > to Sunday School." We would alk, but the young ladies who were l the home (including the school rls, for in our large home my moler conducted a school "For Young idles and small jtsoys,-; wouiu >ju l a two horse wagon filled with raw and chairs. There were two things that imressed me as a young boy: My .ther would make It his business ? go out to the buggies that young en and women were sitting In id inform them that Services were arting and invite them In the hurch, and the other fact that ipressed me was that his sons, id especially, my brother John, ould watch for his appearance on ie Church ground, and would meet im, take horse and fasten it to a nb and walk with him to the hurch, or to the gathering of jighbors under the shade of the ees. The Sabbath at our home was enfc In calls by the young men of ie neighborhood upon the young dies in our home, and In singing Barred sones around the piano any remained to supper, but at n o'clock my mother would come the hall and clap her hands and te young ladies would understand lat it was a signal for them to rere to their rooms: but I remem:r their lingering over the stabbing with ardent hand-clasp and ?hs. St. John's Parish There was located prior to the evolutionary War at what was lar Jones' Springs, a church known "St. John's." This was the stablished Church, and had at its ar the Community grave yard, lis grave yard, or at least part; of was enclosed by a rock wall. Afr the Declaration of Indepennce this Church was abandoned, it was the official English lurch, and our citizens were deiring their independence of all ings English. In the graveyard of is church were buried many of e early settlers and members of ;. John's Parish?among them rs. Edward Jones, whose husband id died in 1751, a member of the ovincial Assembly at Newbern, aving a housefull of children, velve years later Mrs. Jones arried Thomas Cook, who was irn in 1720. Mrs. jones was stuu be the first white woman to apiar in this section, coming with ;r husband and settling on the louth bank of the great Shocco eek" in 1735.

Four Cases Heard By Judge Taylor In County Court Pour cases were disposed of in Recorder's court on Monday, the charges being violation of the automobile laws, assault with a deadly weapon, and "malicious injury" to personal property. Will Carroll of Warrenton was found guilty of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor or a drug and was fined $50 and taxes with court costs. Mr. Carroll denied that he was driving while drinking whiskey, but claimed that he had had some beer and this affected him due to the fact that he was very tired at the time he partook of the beverage. Found guity of operating an automobile on the public highways without proper brakes, Elijah Blackwell, negro, had prayer for judgment suspended over him on the condition that he pay the costs in the action. John Coleman, negro, was sentenced to jail, assigned to work on the roads, lor a period of two months after he had been * found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. Peter Jones, negro, was found guilty of malicious injury to personal property. Judgment was continued upon payment of a $10.00 fine and court costs. The evidence in the case was that he became angry with his wife because she would not bring him his watch, so he took her clothes from the house and made a bon-fire with them. Hail And Wind Damage Tobacco Hail driven by a high wind did considerable damage to crops on several farms near Warrenton on Monday morning. The hail storm struck at the R. T. Watson farm, known as the old Price place, and traveled south across the Smiley place, where A. J. Ellington farms, and losts its force after striking Edmund White's farm, which is located a short distance beyond the golf course on the Warrenton-Lioeria roaa. Crops In the pathway of the storm were badly damaged, but they are not regarded as having been completely ruined. The wind, it was said, did about as much damage as the hail. No hail fell in Warrenton or In other sections of the county, so far as could be learned. Mrs. G. S. Kimball Dies At Manson Mrs. Gussie Smith Kimball, wife of the late Lewis N. Kimball, died at her home near Manson on Wednesday night at 7:45 o'clock following an illness which had kept her confined to her home for six or eight months. She was 75 years of age. Funeral services will be conducted from the home this afternoon at 4 o'clock with the Rev. B. N. de Foe Wagner in charge- Interment will take place In the old Smith cemetery back of the Kimball home. Mrs. Kimball is survived by four sons and one sister: Oliver L. Kimball of Oxford, C. Hamel Kimball of Buffalo, N. Y., William A. and Maurice Kimball of Manson; Mrs. Sue L. Allen of Pacific, Missouri. BREAKS ARM Master Prank Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Allen, Is recovering from a broken arm which he received last week when he fell from a tree. MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 29 EXPECT NO RAISE IN COUNTY RATE Chairman of County Board Says No Increase In Tax Rate Likely To Be Made WORKING 0 N BUDGET No Increase In the county-wide tax rate tor the present fiscal year is looked for, it was learned yesterday from William H. Burroughs, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Burroughs said that he and * 1 J ? a * iom waraner, auiuor, iiau ueeu working on the tentative budget; this week and that present indications are that there would be no increase over last year's countywide rate of 66 cents on the $100 valuation and that possibly there would be a slight decrease. After Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Gardner have finished their work the tenative budget would be submitted to the full board of commissioners for their approval. Increase In Cotton Acreage But Yield Outlook Not Bright The acreage of cotton In cultivation on July 1, 1936 for North Carolina, as reported by the Crop Reporting Board, was 967,000 acres as compared to 939,000 last year, or an increase of 3 per cent This year's acreage Is 62 per cent of the ten-year average (1924-33) acreage prior to the Cotton Adjustment Program and is 85 per cent of the 1931-35 average. The 3 per cent Increase reported for North Carolina is the lowest increase reported for any major cotton state. Farmers failed to get a stand of cotton because of the dry weather at the time of germination. This resulted in the replanting of some cotton land to other crops, thereby holding down the acreage in this state. For the United States the acreage was 30,621,000 as compared to 27,888,000 acres, or an Increase of 10 per cent over the acreage in cultivation on July 1 last year. Drought conditions In the Eastern States resulted In smaller Increases than In the Western States. Fanners were delayed In preparing land and planting crops by wet February and March weather. Rains ceased about the 12th of April. May was the driest on record, resulting in a very poor stand of cotton at that time over the entire state- The drought was broken In the eastern half of the state and partly broken in the central Piedmont early in June. These rains brought up additional cotton and most fields in the east show cotton of two distinct ages in the same fields. Most of the eastern half of the state has had an excess of rainfall since June 1 and excessive grassiness is reported. Dr. Phillips Takes Hi* Mnstian's Place Dr. Anton A. Phillips of Raleigh has succeeded Dr. Wallace P. Mustian in the practice of dentistry at Warrenton. After thirteen years in general practice Dr. Mustian is to specialize in Oval Surgery and Exodontla, first taking a few months post-graduate work.

Dr- Phillips, it was sated, was an honor graduate of Atlanta Dental College, and recently received a high rating from the State Board- He is also a Lieutenant in the Dental Corps U. 8. Army- Mrs Phillips is the daughter of Dr. E- N. Lawrence of Raleigh.

Howard will assist the pastor, Rev. P. G. Walker, in conducting the services. The pub lie is cordially invited to attend the services at 3:30 o'clock In the afternoon and at eight o'clock at night each day during the week.
