The Assemblv remained here only six i-::king days?the absolute constitutional minimumRefraining from efforts to amend j the act. because of the necessity for reed and their intention to get itme for Christmas, legislators in? itrated that they would not be M :?sitant to suggest changes at the regular session.

We are sending out notices daily for interested persons to come in and sign their applications. We are also trying to clear up this year's program before we start on the 1937 program and to do this we must rush the applications. Those persons who are notified to come in and sign and fail to do so will delay their payments. It will take approximately 30 days to fill out the application and send it in and receive paymentThis means that it will be at least 30 days after you sign your application before you will receive payment. Any person that has a work sheet and is entitled to payment may come in and sign his or her application at any timex understand mat me 1937 program will be very much like the present program and those proaucers that pian to cooperate may oegin to make plans for the 1937 program. I do not know at this tune just what action the legislature will take on the compact, but it is believed that they will pass { the act- I make this statement at this time because I don't like to see any farmer have to pay a tax on his products. In case the present program is carried out a tax of 5 cents per pound will be paid on each pound of tobacco sold in 1937 and those who have allotment cards will receive their payment back and those who have no allotment will not receive any payment back from the revenue department.

FR] [IBIiESC ABE WITH CHRISTMAS TREE [nflamable Decorations May Cause Serious Accidents; Fasten Tree Firmly SHOULD INSPECT WIRING The Christmas season, that perod of the year when joy and happiness should reign supreme and jladness never dimmed by accident >r adversity, is now knocking at our ioors and will be here almost be:ore we are ready for it. At this time, when we are makng preparation for the holidays and pefore the time we will be permittid frv nnrtininoto in tbo TforimiC 'V* uu pai ui uxic ranuuu Jhristmas events, it may be well for as to stop and think quietly just a ninute or two over some simple ules for safety. That Christmas Tree?Do not dec>rate it with flimsy material hung ;oo near candles or lights- Don't iecorate your tree with paper, coton or any inflamable material. Use ensils or other non-inflamable maerial for decorations and be sure to ;et the tree securely so that the :hildren and even the "grown-ups" n reaching for things cannot tip it >ver. Do not use cotton to represent ;now- If you must have snow use wwered mica or abestos fibre. Do not use candles where eleciricity can be substituted. Even ivith the use of electric batteries ;hey would be far safer than the ise of candles. If candles are used, et only the utmost caution prevailDo not permit children to light or :e-light the candles- They may set 'ire to their clothing instead. Don't eave the matches within the reach )f the children. Candles are meant ;o be lighted and if children can get nnfrphee thpv mill cxneriment with ;hem. Do not allow trees to remain inside of the building after the holilays. The tree ignites readily when :eaves and branches are dry. A arge number of fires occur in January from this cause. Examine the wiring which ieads to lights used for decorative purposes. See to it that it is safe. Let the home, church, or store be warm but look out for the overiieated stoves and pipesPension Checks For Veterans Here Pension checks aggregating $2,16500 for Warren county veterans )f the War Between the States and the widows of those who followed Lee and Jackson have been received by Clerk of Court William Newell for the semi-annual distribution as provided for by the state of North Carolina There are only two veterans of ;he Civil War in the county?Charlie Riggan of Vaughan and Austin Allen of Axtelle,?and each of these receive $182 50 semi-annually. There ire eleven widows in class A who receive $150.00 each twice a year md five in class B who get $5000 sach. The checks were received here on Saturday night by the Clerk of Court who is distributing them to their rightful owners as they call. To Furnish Dinner At County Home Christmas time rolls around again and with it the opportunity for housewives of Warrenton to follow the annual custom of furnishing dinner for the inmates of the county home- A member of the committee which is carrying on the customs started by the late Mrs. V. L. Pendleton many years before her Ot-ronaincr hasketS for the ueaiu vx Inmates at the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons requested yesterday that this matter be brought to the attention of the public. The baskets are to be left at any of the grocery stores of Warrenton not later than Christmas Eve by 4 o'clock- They will be called for by one of the ladies on the committee and carried to the county home. A generous response to the appeal is hopod forBAPTIST SERVICES Services of the Baptist church next Sunday morning will be held at 11 o'clock in the Methodist church auditorium, the Rev- R.

Fears Bank Vault And Confesses To Theft Of Tobacco Fear of spending a night in the vault of one of the Henderson banks was credited by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell with abruptly changing Arthur Green's policy of continuing to deny a charge of larceny into a confession which not only cleared up the mystery surrounding the theft of around $60 worth of tobacco from Leon Perkinson but also caused the negro to admit that he was guilty on another charge of larceny on which he had been given a hearing by a magistrate who failed to find probable cause to bind him over to Recorder's court. cHoriff q n H FlDnntv Rnv Shearin had uncovered evidence which threw suspicion on Green but they did not have any direct proof that he was the man guilty of taking Mr. Perkinson's tobacco until after they had arrested him near Henderson, questioned him at length, threatened to lock him in the vault and started into the bank with him and he confessed, the officer said. "When he looked into that black vault and was told that the doors did not unlock until the following morning, he said that he was ready to talk,". the sheriff stated. As the negro related his story of the robbery he implicated two other members of his race but they were later cleared when they were brought face-to-face with Green. Sheriff Pinnell said that Green also admitted that he stole cotton from Plummer Thornton in October and a check-up on one of the cotton gins where he sold it revealed that he was also telling the truth about this matter when he was threatened by the vault. "We suspected him at the time of stealing Plummer's cotton and arrested him for the crime but were unable to prove it and the case was thrown out of magistrate's court," the sheriff said- He is being held in jail now1937 Auto License Plates Now On Sale The 1937 automobile license plates went on sale in Raleigh and all branch offices on Tuesday, December 15, and may be used from the date of sale until time to purchase the new tags next year. The license plates must be displayed on every motor vehicle which is operated over the highways of North Carolina by the first day of January. Failure to acquire and display these tags subjects the car and truck owner to arrest when his vehicle is on the roads. Parks Alexander, state highway patrolman who is stationed in this territory, stated yesterday that the patrolmen had been authorized to make arrests in the cases where old plates are used on and after January 1. The new license plates may be purchased from the Motor Vehicle Bureau in Raleigh or from one of nfflppc In this L11C many ui anvn vauww state. Henderson is the closest branch office to Warrenton.
