WRITER GIVES SKETCH OF
LIFE OF W- E. DAVIS
William Edward Davis, sixth and
youngest son of Edward and Rebecca
Davis, grandson of Burwell
Davis, a soldier of the Revolutionary
War, was born seventy-eight
years ago, just three years before
four of his brothers were to take
up arms in defense of the sovereign
rights of the Southern States. He
was too far removed from the
scenes of battle and too young to
remember anything much about
the War beyond the fact that two
of those brothers never returnedWeldon,
just graduated from the
State University when he enlisted,
and Thomas, who was younger,
were killed in action.
Two of his brothers held degrees
from the University, but the losses
incurred through war and its aftermath
deprived young William of
the advantages the elder brothers
had enjoyed. He received his education
at Louisburg Male Academy,
a school of high rank at the time.
Returning to the home of his parents
he took over the management
of the farm which, later, became
his own.
On that farm he spent the greater
portion of his life. He never
raised tobacco, and the low price
paid for cotton did not permit him
to accumulate money, but it provided
for the needs of his family
and on it he raised fine fruits and
many varieties of vegetables. Raising
flowers became a hobby with
him. From the coming of the first
crocus until irost mere was always
a profusion of blooms in his garden.
He loved them because he appreciated
beauty in all its forms;
he loved them also, because lie
never liked for a guest to depart
without some expression of good
will from him. Visitors seldom left
his house without receiving fruit,
vegetables or flowers, whatever was
in season at the time. His consideration
for others made him
loved by all who knew him.
Mr. Davis was never in politics,
but was appointed by the Commissioners
to fill out the unexpired
term of Sheriff J. R. Rodwell?
1895-96?when ill health forced Mr.
Rodwell to retire. He made an efficient
officer but retired from public
life at the expiration of that
term.
Death came to him on Saturday
evening as quietly as he had livedAn
attack of influenza suffered in

that he steadily declined in health,
but death, seemingly, held no fear
for him. He was serene to the
; end.
His flower banked grave was the
first grave in the new cemetery at
1 Shady Grove, a spot made sacred
to him by long years of close association
with that Church. The
friends assembled there to pay their
1 last tribute of love were more
than could find standing room in
the church. His body was bonie
to its last resting place by six
' nephews: M. S. Davis, George Davis,
P. N- Egerton and Weldon Egerton

and Sidney Risdale of GreensI

Thirteen Face t<
Trial In Recorder's c
Court Monday
A big session of Recorder's court
was held here on Monday when
thirteen defendants were brought
into the Temple of Justice to face
trial on the seven charges booked
against them on the solicitor's j
docket. There were also several v
cases continued. tl
The size of the docket this week fi
was attributed to the fact that no ti
regular session of Recorder's court tl
had been held here since Septem- ei
ber 14, due to Superior court being tl
in session here for two weeks- Although
the docket was unusually tl
large, the court moved along f<
smoothly without interruptions and si
adjournment came early in the day. s<
A special session of Recorder's si
court was held here on Friday for E
the convenience of witnesses in the IV
case of the state against James
Nelson, negro, of Atlantic City, N- C
J., cnargea wnn uniawiui driving, ?>
but other matters on the docket tl
were not gone into at the timeNelson's
car was alleged to have run
into a truck from Creedmore being si
driven by Moody Moss, negro, with V
Ronald Mangum, white, in charge. 1(
No one was seriously hurt in the ^
accident, which took place near C
Manson- Nelson was found guilty ci
and was fined $10.00 and costs. The 0
witnesses in the case, as well as the n
defendants, were from other states tl
and for this reason it was decided to 1<
hold a special session of court rath- u
er than hold them here until Mon- c<
day or require them to return to
Warren county for the trial. C

which had insurance on the' f,

injuries and for damage to their i
cars, estimated at around $450.00.

May Pay
Taxes At Office,
Committee Decides
The finance committee of the
ioard of Town Commissioners met
Wednesday afternoon and agreed
aat after the end of the present
seal year, which is in June, that
ixpayers of Warrenton will pay
leir taxes at the town office rathr
than to the chief of police, as is
:ie practice at present.
The advisability of establishing
ic water company office as a place
)r citizens to pay their taxes, iniead
of to Tax Collector Lee Wil>n,
called for considerable discusion
at the regular meeting of the
ioard of Town Commissioners on
londay nightThe
matter was brought up by
Commissioner John Mitchell who
:ated that he was of the opinion
lat the town should have an ofce
to which citizens might direct
leir steps to pay their taxes intead
of having to hunt up Lee
Vilson, chief of police and tax col;ctor.
His idea was to have Miss
fary Terrell, clerk to the Water
Company, collect taxes, give reeipts
and notify Collector Wilson
f delinquents who fail to heed her
otices. He was of the opinion that
le bond of Mr. Wilson could be
iwered and Miss Terrell placed
ndcr bond without any increase in
ost to the town-.
The board was in agreement with
Commissioner Mitchell in acknowldgement
of the advantages to be
erived from having a tax collecor's
office and a deputy tax col;ctor,
and chief discussion came
ver the feasibility of changing
onds. The matter was referred to
he finance committee, with inductions
to put it in practice
long the lines suggested by Comlissioner
Mitchell if suitable deails
and arrangements could be
iadeAt
their meeting on Wednesday
fternoon members of the finance
ommittee decided to wait until
ext year to make the change due
3 the fact Mr. Wilson has already
tarted collecting taxes for this
iscal year.
The commissioners voted to give
light Officer Short a new uniform
fter it had been pointed out by
Ihief Lee Wilson that the only
arment donated to him had pracically
worn out. An application
or a license to sell beer by People's
lafe was refused. The commissionrs
voted to join the Institute of

its thousands of books truly speas

of the Roosevelt Elector Committee,
announced yesterday morning
that $65.00 had already been turned
over to him as contributions from
friends of the Democratic party
anxious to see the President reelected

COUNTY FAIR E
WELL ATTENDED
Thousands Throng Exhibibition
On Norlina Road
Each Day And Night
FREE ACTS EACH NIGHT
Thousands of men, women and
children have treked to Warrenton
this week from practically every
nook of this county and from many
adjoining counties to attend the
Warren County Fair which opened
under the auspices of the Lions
Club on the Warrenton-Norlina
road on Monday at noon for a
week's entertainment and enlightment.
Attendance at the fair all the
week has been good and those who
have passed through the gate to
the main tent where there is a
large display of exhibits and then
out to the grounds where the lights
of many shows and rides twinkle
have expressed their surprise at the
size of the fair and voiced their
praise for both the exhibits and
the amusements. "A good fair" has
been the verdict of those who have
passed through the gate to judge
the undertaking.
There has been a steady increase
in attendance since the opening
on Monday when there were more
than 500 paid admissions. On Tuesday
there were 1.335 paid admissions
in addition to the approximately
2,500 white school children
who were admitted free from noon
until 6 o'clock in the evening. On
Wednesday 2,000 person paid to see
the fair and there were around 4,000
free admissions to negro school
children of the county. Last night
the largest crowd yet to attend was
present, but the number of tickets
sold had not been counted as this
paper went to press.
The fair opened on Monday with
a large parade which formed at the
southern end of Farmer's warehouse
and marched and rode
through the Main street of the
town out to the grounds, a distance

feature of the parade was
a float on which rode Miss Mary
Randolph, chosen "Miss Warren
County" at a beauty pageant here
last week. Little Misses Rosa Bugg
and Margaret Shaw, who also won
honors in the beauty pageant, rode
on the float with Miss Randolph.
The parade was led by the military
company and was also composed of
the Lions Club and a long line of
automobiles and trucks, many of
which were decorated for the occasion.
The surprisingly large display of
exhibits attractively arranged under
the main tent has been studied
by many of those who have attended
the fair- The premium list offered
around $500 in awards and
on Tuesday approximately 350
prizes were given those who had
entries.

was awarded a young pig and
had his hands full nursing the

for his prizeLast
night was a big event at the
fair when Miss Mamie Burroughs
and Ira Weaver, both of the AftonElberon
section of Warren county,
were publicly married at 10 o'clock
on a flower bedecked altar on the
midway- The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Carl Osley of
Brown's church in the presence of
several thousand witnesses. A number
of local concerns presented the
couple with wedding giftsGovernor

learned that he would be unable to
be present due to another speaking
engagement.
To keep interest at a high pitch,
officials of the fair have agreed to
give away $20.00 to some lucky
person on Saturday night. A special
concession will also be made to
school children under 12 years of
age on Saturday between the hours
of 12 and 6 o'clock when they will
be admitted to the grounds free
and allowed on the rides and in the
shows for 5 cents each. This applies
to both white and colored children.
Present indications are that the
Lions Club will not only make
money enough to pay all expenses
of promoting its first fair but will
also make a profit from the undertaking.
