The signing of this card ioes not place the producer under any obligations. This card is a means of finding out the producers that will attempt to qualify for ;heir payments in 1937. The cost af checking compliance comes out payments that would go to the 'armer and every producer should cooperate and reduce the cost as much as possible. Now is a good time to start qualfy for your payments. You should wait until the fall to sow the rejuired crops. The acreage that fou should have is given on the ;orm that carries your base acreage. Producers that are able to sow a greater acreage than is shown on ;he form should come to the office ind request a raise in acreage.

The incorrect spelling of the name may have been responsible for him not getting the moneyThe check, in the sum of $16-80, was presented at the Home Furniture and Supply Co. by an unknown negro who expressed his desire to make a purchase and receive the change. Raymond Modlin, the manager, is stated to have thought he recognized the negro as a man who gave him a bad check under similar circumstances two years ago. His suspicion aroused ,he asked on whom the check was drawn. Informed that it bore the signature of Joe Wollett, he looked at it, saw that the name was mis-spelled, and refused to enter into the transaction. The negro left the store and Mr. Modlin notified the sheriff's office that efforts were being made to cash a forged check here. The other officers being out at the time, Miss Gayle Tarwater, officer worker and i deputy sheriff, responded to the alarm and ran across the negro In the A. & P. Store in time to warn employees there not to cash the check. The swindler made a rapid exit. He was pointed out by the deputy sheriff to Police Chief Jack Scott as he started down the street towards Boyd-Boyce Motor Company but he scurried behind the buiiding before he could be overtaken by the policeman and has not been seen here since. Although the negro's name is not mown here, he is identified as the same man who has cashed a number of bogus checks in this county during the past year or so. He is said to have forged the name of the Raleigh Granite Co. of Graystone on a check which he succeded M 'htt'VIng Mabry's store at Ridgeway cash for him several months ago; to have at one time given N. P. Marks a bad check, and to have forged the name of Albert Bugg to a check which was used in a neighboring town to pay the fine of a somrade of his who was being held in jail. A. F.

' ~r~~ I G?^T OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME r ! NUMBER 20 SUPERIOR COURT OPENS MONDAY Judge Henry A. Grady To Preside Over Heavy Criminal Docket Here TO TRY MURDER CASE Judge Henry A. Grady is to face a docket somewhat heavier than usual when he comes to Warrenton on Monday morning of next week to preside over the May term of Warren county Superior court. There are nearly twenty cases booked for trial at this time them is one charge of murder and another of manslaughter. The murder charge is against Ted Terrell, young white man of north Henderson who is alleged to have shot and killed his brother-in-law, Andrew Knight, also young man of 11U11/I1 IlClXUClOUiii nv iionvuii \mmu~ eye) Whit's service station between Norlina and Ridgeway early in March after the two men had met there and engaged in a quarrel. The manslaughter charge is booked against Dan House, young white man of Littleton, who was driving for Mrs. Dorman Taylor of Littleton on the night of January 23 when her car struck an ox cart and brought about the death of Bud Kearney, negro, and injuries to his wife, Blanch Kearney, who was on the cart with him when the accident occurred between Warrenton and Macon. The re-trial of the Winkler brothers will probably consume a large portion of this term of courtJ. M. and D. M. Winkler of Mecklenburg county, Va., have been in jail here for little over a year charged with breaking into the Swan Sandwich Shop and Beer Garden at Norlina and robbing the place of several hundred dollars worth of property after disarming the night clerk, Clyde Jeff Coats. The case has been tried before but an appeal was noted by defense attorneys and a new trial was granted. While it is not definitely known, doubt was expressed here this week over the trial at this term of Dan Hill Weldon and Charles Hunt, two Vance county men, wno are cnarged with forging checks on the Citizens Bank here. It was said that arrangements had been made to have this case continued; however, witnesses have been notified to appear here. The bank case remains on the docket but what action Solicitor Burgwyn will take in regard to this case since C. N. Williams Jr. of Richmond, one of the defendants, cannot be brought here by law to face trial, is a matter of speculation. Witnesess in the case have not been summoned to appear here and this is taken to mean that the other defendants will not be tried at this term. Stealing is the chief cause for the criminal docket being heavier than usual. Twelve defendants are booked for trial on charges of larceny, or breaking, entering and receiving. iMamr nf thf> mses cflme as the re V* v?w __ suit of tobacco being stolen throughout the county the past fallOther cases expected to be tried at this term are: Jack Oakley and Robert Edwards, three cases of breaking, entering and larceny; Bruce Grissom, receiving stolen goods knowing them to (Continued on page 8) WINS SCHOLARSHIP Miss Lucy Kathrine Hawkes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.
