H. GIBBS Rumors which have persisted for ; some time that Dr. W. W. Taylor i would run for the State Senate . were confirmed on Tuesday of this week when the Warrenton dentis. told a representative of tnis newspaper that he would be a candidate in the June Primary for the upper House of the General Assembly. Dr. Taylor's announcement definitely places two candidates in the rield to represent Warren coun.y in the Senate, Frank H. Gibbs having announced more than a month ago mat he would run lor the place. Both the candidates are well Known to the electorate ol Warren, Dr. Taylor having enter local politics several years ago to run for Judge of Recorder's court, a posi.1-11 he held for two terms, and Mr. oibbs having served as Mayor 01 the I own ol Warrenton for many years ana represented this county m the senate the last time Warren nad a representative in the Uppei mouse.

Edward Allen calls upon all parents and friends of the school in the following open le.ter to watch diligently fcr any signs oi tlie disease ana wnere eases cue found to keep those effected separated from other persons: "The people of the county are requested to co-operate with the schools for the prevention of an outbreak of measles in our schools. The United S.ates Public Health authorities all over the country are warning schools and health officers that this is a 'measles year.' In a number of communities in this state, the number of cases of measles has reached the proportions of an epidemic Every few days the papers report another school as closed on account of measles. Dea.hs from measles are not infrequent, indicating that the disease is not found in as mild form as has sometimes been noted in the past. "The state has a regultion (Sec. 4, 1937 School Law) to the effect that if for any single week in the last >.wo school months the average attendance in any school goes as low as sixty per cent of the average membership for the first six months r>f the session, that school must be closed for the remainder of the session. It is therefore to be seen that an epidemic of measles would be disastrous to the school session and promotion plans, for it would result in an immediate closing of the school either to prevent the operation of this rule, which would cause indefinite delays, or on account of the rule, which would end the session. The only course for us to pursue, therefore, is to watch diligently for any possible first case, cause it to be segregated at once to prevent the infection of any other person, (Continued on page 8) Services At The Methodist Church By REV.

The county comai:teemen and township commit- ! aemen were gratified with the or- j erly crowds that cast their ballots j i the referendum. The Act is now ratified and beomes a law for 1938 and the re- ! ponsibility rests with the farmers, i he program is in their hands and i hey will determine whether it rorks or not. I am going to put I arth a special effort in explaining < he Act and I sincerely hope that : 11 farmers will understand the pro- ' ram before they condemn or ap- < rove it. I have studied the proisions of the Act and I cannot see i nything that will be objectionable a the farmer. The small farmer is ] iven first consideration in pay lents, adjustments ana acres 'io oe | lanted as well as pounds to be old. I do not anticipate any reaction i 3 the Act if the farmers will study ! ; and understand its provisions, i "his program is not intended to ] reate a scarcity of any commodity, 1 ut to try and regulate production d as not to pile huge surpluses. The I irmers have now banded together 1 nd agreed to work together for one ] ear and all producers should feel < tia*t they are cooperating with their ' sllow farmers and not being forced ] 3 do something that they do not < 'ant to do. i I have one request to make of 1 he farmers, and that is to come i 3 the office and look up any thing ' hai he does not understand about : ho nrnwram.

H 'J MOST OP THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 11 bte On Two is On Tuesday Voters To Decude Whether Or Not Town Shall issue $10,000.00 In Bonds FOR FIRE AND STREETS Voters of Warrenton will go to the polls on Tuesday, March Li, and determine by ballot wnetnci the town shall issue $10,000 worm of bonds for curb and gutter wor* and improving fire-fighting iauuities here. Unlike regular elections, voting will take place at only one precinct in Warrenton. This will be at the Town Hall where the polls are to be held by Frank Serls Sr. and A. W. Hall Sr., who were appoinieu judges of election by the Board of Town Commissioners in February when it was decided by unanimous vote to put the issue before 'die people. Jim Moore was appointed registrar. The commissioners we re influenced in their action to call, for the bond issues by the fact ths.t around $15,000 worth of curb and gutter work can be done at this time for a cost of around $5,000 due to PWA assistance available now, and due to the demand on the part of citizens generally that better fire-fighting facilities be provided for the benefit of property owners. Another consideration was the present easiness of the money market which should enable the town at this time to sell its bonds at a much lower rate of interest than would usually be the case. The commissioners propose to have the bonds issued hi two issues, one for $6,000 for curb and gutter work and one for $4,000 for 1 fire-fighting improvement purposes. The issues are to be voted on separately and one may be invalidated 1 without invalidating the other. Should the citizens approve the | issue or issues, the board, proposes to issue bonds in $1,000 denomina\ tions to fall due one each year, be' ginning in 1941, when the remainder of 'the water and ewer bond issue will have been retired. I Negro Jailed Under Bond Of $1000.00 Percy Davis, negro, is being held in the Warren county Jail imder bond of $1,000 as a result of injuries he inflicted upon his kin, ! Robert McKnight, when he struck him with a rock which was intended for Garney Richardson, negro with whom he quarreled. The trouble between the negroes is said to have started when Davis went to 'the home of Richardson and engaged in a conversation which developed into a quarrel that led to rock throwing at each other. The fight continued to the home of McKnight. There a rock thrown bv Davis and intended for Richard son struck McKnighi against thi heaQ, fractured his skull and Injured his eye to the extent It may have to be removed. He Is In a Rocky Mount hospital. A hearing was held here yesterday and Richardson was released under bond of $50.00 while surety for Davis was set at $1,000.
