Mr. McCarthy, who comes to Warrenton from Pulaski, Va., where he operated the Maple Shade Inn, has with him as an assistant J. C. Allison, who was with him in the hotel business at Pulaski. W. K. Falkener of Warrenton is also assisting at the hotel at present. Mr. Montgomery, who became manager of the hotel as a successor to Haywood Duke, by whom he was fnrmerlv pmnlnvoH io of woenvit ?

Mr. McCarthy has had consider- , able years of experience in the hotel . business and is rated as an A-l hotel man- He is president of Group 1 of the Southern Hotel Association, and was highly recommended to the town commissioners by the manager of the King Cotton Hotel, Greens- . boro; the manager of Hotel Stone wall, Danville, Va-; the manager of Hotel John Marshall, Richmond, , Va.; promotion manager of Rich- j mond Hotels, Inc.; Manager of : Washington Duke Hotel, Durham; manager of Hotel Burton, Danville, Va-, and manager of Hotel Dan- ville, Danville, Va. He left Pulaski, , it was stated, due to the fact that the Maple Inn has been sold and the new owners contemplate operating the hotel themselves. Mr- McCarthy said this week that there would be changes and im provements made at the town-owned hotel but that he would not be in a position to say definitely what these changes would be until after the next meeting of the Board jf Town Commissioners, which takes place on Monday nightFattening Hogs Should Have Room Contrary to popular belief, a small, filthy, crowded pen is no place to fatten hogs, said H- W. Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. Crowded and filthy, the hogs cannot be as healthy and sanitary as they should to produce good, firm, wholesome meat, Taylor pointed out. Overfat hogs do not produce the best pork, he added. Hogs will gain well and keep clean if allowed a reasonable amount of range and given ell the balanced ration they can eat, he continued, and some exercise is needed to keep them healthy. Since it is important that pork be produced as economically as is 1 reasonably possible, Taylor stated, I it is a good practice to turn the hogs into a field where they can glean food that has been left from various crops. Fattening hogs should have, in addition to the field gleanings, all the corn they can eat and a protein supplement should be kept before them at all times. Taylor recommends fish meal or tankage, cr a mixture containing one-half cottonseed meal and onehalf fish meal or tankage as a good protein supplementAlong in the late fall or early winter, he added, growers should begin to think about their spring farrows, and see that the necessary equipment is available. Now is a good time to build a farrowing house, he said. A plan for such a house may be obtained | from county farm agents or from I the agricultural editor at State | College, Raleigh.

The two prominent Republicans were enroute to Chicago and stopped here long enough to send a telh?M| ' egram- They had been spending a few days with Mr- and Mrs. George B. Dryden at Oak Lodge, near Ringwood, Halifax county, presumably on a hunting trip. The men were not recognized while in Warrenton and it was some time after their departure that the identity of Col. Knox was definitely established through tne means of a picture which a representative of this newspaper submitted at the drug store for a check-up.

FRIDAY, DE( MEAT THIEVES | LAND IN JAIL Vance County Men Attempt To Sell Partly Dressed Hogs To Paschall GO TO HOME !AT NIGHT An effort to sell Wallace Paschall hogs which had been stolen at Henderson on Thanksgiving and partly dressed led to the capture of two Vance county men who are being held in jail at Henderson along with several others charged with stealing the swine from Mr. Ellis, R D. Skenes, Mrs. Griffin and Oscar Faulkener, all of South Henderson. Two or more of the men are said to have gone to Mr. Paschall's home after he had retired at night and attempted to sell him;the meat. Mr. Paschall is reported to have told them that it was too cold for him ^ to get out of bed and'come out and look at the hogs that night but if they cared to they could leave the meat in an outhouse for him to in spect In the morning and if he found the hogs satisfactory he would purchase them. The men left the meat and told Mr. Paschall where he could find them in Henderson. The next morning when Mr. Paschall inspected the hogs he saw that they had been only partly dressed and he became suspiciousHe notified Sheriff Pinnell who got in touch with Sheriff Hamlet of Henderson, and Albert Falkener and Kermit Robinson, both of Henderson, were arrested and placed in jail in default of $5,000 bonds. Isaac Falkener, Bennie Wagner and Perry Poythress had already been arrested in connection with the robbery. Poythress gave bond and the others are being held in Henderson in default of $5,000 bonds set by Sheriff Hamlet. Sheriff Hamlet recovered the four hogs which had been stolen and had them dressed, but expressed his doubts as to whether or not the meat would keep. Macon P. T. A.

Would Erect Bus Stations Through Aid Of WPA E. S. Ayscue, who travels over the itate as a special representative of 3eorge Coan, head of the Works Progress Administration, was in tVarren county last Friday in the nterest of a proposed PWA project ;o erect 40,000 school bus stations .hroughout the state to protect chiliren from bad weather while waitng on the roadside for the buses. If this project is adopted, Mrftyscue said, it will not only offer a ;reat protection to the health and ;onifort of the children but it will Uso result in a saving of 20 per :ent of the transportation charge, lie attributes this saving to the fact hat the bus driver would lose coniiderably less time when picking up ;he children in the morning and iischarging them in the afternoonHe also opined that these proposed iheds would also improve traffic ;onditions along the highways inasnuch as the buses would not have ,o stop as often J? .pick up the chiliren, PLAN BUS DEPOTS FOR PUPILS IN RURAL DISTRICTS Raleigh, Dec. 2 ?Details of a proposed WPA project to erect 40,000 school bus stations all over North Carolina to protect children from raw weather were completed yesteriay by the State School Commission's office here. Expenditures totalling $800,000, of which $480,000 is requested from WPA, are contemplated in the project. Lloyd E. Griffin, School Commission secretary, emphasized the fact that State funds would not be available to furnish the remaining $320,000. "The only way we know how to get it is from the counties,'' said CC. Brown, school transportation engineer. Three counties, Pamlico, Catawba and Alexander, already have built bus stations and the remainder will be encouraged by the School Commission to provide funds to match WPA grants for stations all over the State. The proposed project will be presented to State WPA headquarters soon. The State's 4000 school busses operate over 6000 or more routes averaging 15 miles in length each day and hauling an average of 00 children per bus- Half of these children are picked up one at a time. If the pupils could congre gate at stations, bus operating costs could be reduced as much as 20 per cent by eliminating frequent stops, Brown said. The proposed stations would be open sheds, measuring 6 by 8 feet, and facing the South. They would cost approximately $20 apiece, of which the WPA would furnish $12 for labor and the counties $8 for materials. Stations would be constructed along highway rights-of-way and would be maintained by State Highway Department section crews. The Highway Department has agreed to furnish gravel bases along the roadsides for all stations, Griffin said. Several states have school bus stations, but North Carolina, which hauls more pupils to school than any other, has no sheds except those provided by the counties. SPIRITUALS TO BE RENDERED AT HAWKINS SCHOOL SUNDAY The Choral Club of Henderson Institute will give a musical concert consisting of negro spirituals at the Hawkins High School in Warrenton on Sunday afternoon, December 6, at 3:30 o'clock- The program is given for the benefit of the Warren County Community Center, and both white and colored are invited to attend. Special seats will be reserved for white people. % , Bto?ewon ition Price, $1.50 a Year John D. Newell, Former Clerk, Is Buried At Macon Funeral services for John David Newell, who died at his home near Macon late last Friday afternoon, were conducted from the Macon Methodist church on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock by his pastor, the Rev. O. I. Hinson, who was assisted by thp Rev. J. T. Gibbs, retired Methodist minister, and the Rev. T- J. Green. Burial took place in the Brame cemetery near his home. Active pallbearers were Frank, Ernest, Benjamin and Carr Newell, Clifton Bobbitt and Alfred Roff. Honorary pallbearers included Fletcher Bobbitt, Anthony Brame, P. M. Stallings, T. O- Rodwell, J. E. Rooker, and T. E. Powell. Mr. Newell, who was 72 years of age, was for 16 years clerk of the Warren county Superior court and long prominent in the affairs of this county. He resigned as clerk of court several years ago and was succeeded by his son and deputy, William Newell- He also served as a member of the Board of County Commissioners, of which he" was chairman for several years, and of the County Board of Education. HOWARD JONES SR. PAYS TRIBUTE TO JOHN NEWELL I wish to pay tribute to a loyal friend who for fifty years has walked the "Pathway of Life" with me: my friend John David Newell. MrNewell was born September 19, 1864, and passed from earthly friendship November 27, 1936. Having known John Newell for 50 years, much of that time associated in trying to serve the public in official life. I do in all sincerity say: "Well done, good and faithful servant " He was honest to the core. His word was his bond, and his service to his Master was without ostentation. He did not stand upon the House-top and proclaim his good deeds, but quietly and unassumingly and in humility of spirit he trod the path that lead him o'er the River to "Rest under the shade of the Trees," in our Father's Kingdom. As member of the Board of County Commissioners; as member of the Board of Education, and as Clerk of our Superior Court he followed the voice of conscience?he did what he thought was Right, and when he thought he was right, nothing could move him. It wasn't that he would not patiently listen to argument. He did. But when he had come to his conclusion it was based upon his conception of his duty as an officer, and this conclusion was steadfast. For 16 years and four months he was Clerk of our Superior Court and there has been no more faithful Clerk, nor one who discharged the duties of the office with less criticism. * * ?

H Duke, Warrenton drayman, was painfully hurt on Saturday afternoon when his truck crashed into a bank on the highway near Centerville, throwing him against the windshield with sufficient force to smash the glass, cut his head about the eye, and leave him with bruises and cuts about the head, arm and leg. He had recovered sufficiently to get around a little Wednesday. Mr. Duke said that he was unable to account for the account. "The first thing I knew the truck was against the bank and I had crashed into the windshield," he said- He later drove his truck back to Warrenton and received medical attention here. Miss Lula Allen was a visitor In Raleigh on Monday. Mrs. Ed Rodwell left Saturday to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Alvin Moore In Tarboro. Cadet John M. Hughes Jr. of "The Citadel," Charleston, S. C-, spent Saturday with his sister, Mrs- Dorman P. Blaylock.

The 12-year-old boy was between his home and the barn when he walked under the wire and received the dynamic charge which knocked him to the ground and ignited his clothes. He died several days laterA brother who was nearby at the time was shocked, it was stated, but not seriously injured. The complaint drawn by Julius Banzet of Warrenton and W. HYarborough of Louisburg claims that the boy's death was due to negligence on the part of the Power Company in not keeping the wires, which were transmitting 110,000 volts of electricity, in proper working order and safe. The complaint alleges in part: "That he (Warren Edward Powell) had reached a point directly under the wires, about half-way between the barn and dwelling, when suddenly, without warning, he was struck by a bolt of electricity of great power and destructive force which, by reason of negligence of the defendant company, proceeded from the said overhead wires through the body or the cmia 10 uio ground, terribly shocking and burning him, and so Injuring, mangling and searing his body that he died within 38 hours thereafter as a direct result of such shock and injuries." The Power Company has not answered the complaint and it is not known here who will be the attorneys for it. Growers Asks To Sign Applications By B. H. BRIGHT We are now mailing out notices for producers to come in and sign their applications for payment under the soil conservation program. Any producer that happens to be in town may come: in and sign their application, but we will appreciate the favor if producers will wait until they receive notices to come in and sign. Those that receive notices should come in at once, because we have reserved time for them to sign and if they Hn nnt sicn at this time they will be required to wait until the last applications are made. Landlords 'that have tenants that are entitled to payment must bring the tenants to this ofice and let them sign or take the forms to the tenants for their signatures. I have vaccinated several hogs for farmers this week and a few have lost hogs. I am not sure that the disease Is the cholera, but It looks very much like cholera and I would advise all persons that havo hogs ready for slaughter to kill them as soon as possible and those that have hogs they Intend to keep for several weeks should have them vaccinated- The cost of vaccination Is very little compared to the price of meat. The average cost for serum per hog is about 35c. I will be glad to vaccinate hogs for farmers Bishop To Be Here On December 9th The Right Reverend Edwin APenick, Bishop ot the Diocese of North Carolina, will make a special visit to All Saints Colored Episcopal Church for the confirmation Wednesday, December 9, at 7:30 p. mA cordial invitation is extended ? ??K?4-V? vanac fn nnmo nilt UICIIIUCIO Vi MWW1 lO^to w? wuw wuw and hear the able speaker and witness the confirmation.
