While Jodge Kerr received no cuts in the accident, the force of the impact caused him to be badly shaken up and to receive injuries to his back which have kept him confined to his bed- It is not known when he will be able to leave his home. Neither Parker nor his companion, Miss Jane Griffin, was hurt in the accident. Likewise, Judge Kerr's negro chauffeur, Jerome jiggetts, escaped injuries. The accident, which took place on the Wilson road three miles out of Nashville, was witnessed by John Q. Taylor and John Thorne, Nashville youths, who offered Congressman Kerr and his chauffeur a ride to Nashville. After officers at Nashville had been notified, Representative Harold D. Cooley offered his colleague an automobile and provided him with a driver to continue to his home in Warrenton- He showed the effect of his injuries as he steppea into uongressman uooieys car. Patrolman T. R. Burdett Jr. investigated the crash immediately after it occurred and arrested Parker for drunken and reckless driving. Parker, at a hearing held im mediately afterwards, stated that i the car belonged to Miss Jane Grif- ; fin, who was riding with him. The < trial has not taken place yet. < Judge Kerr said that the wreck 1 occurred on a straight stretch of road where there was nothing to < obstruct Parker's sight for several J hundred yards. The Congressman ' said that he saw the approaching 1 car leaning towards his side of the i road and had just told his driver I he had better get clear off the i concrete when the crash occurred- 1 The Congressman's car was 1 struck on the left front side, tear- J ing down the left front wheel and causing the car to drag across io the left side of the road- The 1 automobile did not overturn. < I Duck Season Opens On November 26th ] I The duck season opens on No- 1 vember 26th and extends through 1 December 25th, E. Hunter Pinnell, f Warren county game warden, stat- J ed yesterday with the explanation 1 that there is some misunderstanding over the county in regard to the < time the curtain lifts for shooting 1 these birds. The season in War- i ren is the same as that throughout < the state and is governed oy reaeral regulations. j Although the season for shooting t duck opens on the 26th of Novem- i ber, there are certain types of these t birds, due to their scarcity, which I the Federal regulations prohibt < shooting at any time. They are as < follows: Wood duck, Ruddy duck, j Bufflehead duck, Redhead duck, 1 Canvasback duck, Brant. Ross' 1 Goose, Snow Goose, Swan. < The Federal regulations also require that every hunter of migratory waterfowl have a stamp, which may be obtained from the post office. The misunderstanding in regard to the opening date for shooting ' duck is attributed to the change in ? the opening date for shooting par- 1 tridges, rabbits and turkeys- Sev- ' eral years ago when the bird and rabbit season opened on the 20th of t November, the duck season opened < several days previously?on the i 15th. Last year when the bird sea- 1 son was changed to Thanksgiving ? day, which came on the 28th of : if was lawful to shoot l iNuvciawci, duck at that time. Due to the fact < that the bird season has this year i been moved back to the 20th of November, some hunters are under j the impression that duck may also < { be hunted at that time. That is a ( mistake, the game warden explained. j EPISCOPAL SERVICES ] [ Episcopal services are to be held ( j at Warrenton. Ridgeway and Lit- < ! tleton on Sunday, the Rev. B.

Ask Voters To Vote For Amendments Although at odds about almost every thing pertaining to the state government in the June primary, ; four of the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor have now agreed on one thing, and that is that the voters of North Carolina should give their endorsement to proposed Constitutional Amendment to increase the number of ' Supreme Court Justices from five i IU DCVtU.

Widening Route 1 To Be Requested Henderson, Oct. 29.?A petitior asking for the widening of Route 1 the national highway from Maine to Florida, between Henderson anc Norlina will be presented to the State Highway & Public Works Commission at an early date, probable in November,. Chairman Samuel M. Watkins of the Vance Boarc of County Commissioners stated today. The board of commissioners several weeks ago passed a resolution calling on the commission tc give the matter consideration and to order the work as soon as possible. Chairman Watkins and Countj Attorney a. n- rtny wcic maoi uooed by the commissioners to present the matter to the State authorities An opportunity to do so has not offered itself as yet, but at the November meeting the two local officials may appear and make formai request for the inclusion of this highway in projects to be improved It is pointed out that this highway bears perhaps as much traffic between Maine and Florida as any in the country. Between Henderson and Norlina the already heavy traffic is greatly augmented by traffic from Norfolk back toward Durham and Greensboro and other points in this and other states. It is proposed that one or twc feet be added to the highway on each side of the pavement. Mr Watkins understands the State ol Virginia is contemplating widening the route within the bounds of that state, and this is considered good reason for North Carolina giving its cooperation. It is not anticipated that anything could or would be done before spring, but local county officials hope to have the matter well enough in hand so that work can be started by that time, if possible.

Practically every township of the county was represented at the meeting which was attended by around 25 Democratic leaders of the county. Upon motion of J. A. Dowtin and John Picot, the matter of getting the vote out in each precinct was left to the precinct chairman and committeemen, who, in turn, are expected to hold meetings and provide means of transportation to the voting booths for those unable to get there otherwise.

The larger the vote for Governor the more representation Warren county will be entitled to in | state matters, he reminded. A ?_?_ T A L upposmon i o uov. Landon In Kansas Despite the fact that Gov. Alf ] Landon is expected to carry his ' native state of Kansas in the Presidential election on November 3, op' position has developed there among leading Republicans who are unable to "swallow" his farm pro' gram, according to the following article taken from the News of ' Lansing, a newspaper published at Lansing, Michigan, and brought to this office this week by A. C. Stanton, a native of Kansas, and a staunch supporter of President Franklin D- Roosevelt: Lansing, Oct. 16-?A strong indication of the unfavorable reaction in his own State to Gov- Alf MLandon's lon^-delayed announcement of his two-way "farm program" was supplied by joint statements of five prominent Kansas Republicans in announcing the formation of "The Kansas All-Party Agricultural Committee" to support the re-election of President Roosevelt. State Senator William Schoen of Dnwns Kansas for vears a GOP | leader, stated: "The Republican candidate for President; his record and his political associates offer 1 nothing to Kansas farmers." State Senator Simon Fishman, , of Tribune, Kansas, one of the ! most prominent members of the up! per branch of the Legislature, and J long a prominent agricultural lead. er, declared: "Without President j Roosevelt's agricultural program, , my section of the country ? * ? would have been depopulated dur, ing the past years of drouth." Fred B. Shacklett, also of West, era Kansas, a member of the Kansas House of Representatives, said: "I have only the highest personal regard for Gov. Landon, but it is [ quite evident that he has deserted ; the principles for which I have stood- To support Gov. Landon now would be supporting Jim Reed, Hearst, the Liberty Leaguers, who [ are ultra antilabor and opposed to any real farm relief." [ H. H. Kirchner of Osage City, : Kansas, former member of the Leg ; islature, issued this statement: "The reason I am for Roosevelt is that. ; he has tried to do something to im, prove farm conditions. When a [ public official is true to his trust, I i hold he is entitled to/ a second . term." Douglas A. Graham of Topeka, former state fire marshal, said: "As a progressive Republican I can support neither the platform nor the candidate of the Republican party This reactionary platform can be worthy of but one thing?defeat " c pMOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 44 VOTERS TO GO TO POLLS TUESDAY Indications Are That Vote Will Be Heaviest Ever Cast In County VOTE ON AMENDMENTS Prom sunrise to sunset on Tuesday, November 3, voters of Warren county, along with other citizens throughout the nation, will go to the polls to express their choice of candidates from the President of the United States to township constable.
