T the ^4-year-old mine fire which hi score of blast furnaces could be stc nels of mud. has met its first test ai Bright Uncertain As To Amount Of Damage By Rains By BOB BRIGHT Mr. H. F. Jones Jr. quoted me in ast week's Record as saying that 'the rains had done very little pernanent damage to crops in this ;ounty." In discussing the weather md the crops with Mr. Jones Wednesday. June 15, I stated that out if 18.000 acres of cotton alloted to :his county there was between 2,500 md 3.000 acres that did not have t very good stand and unless it was dan ted over or replanted the crop )n this acreage would be short. I dso stated that up until that time he tobacco crop had not been damiged to any great extend by the "line hut in V1PW nf t.VlP fart that I t has rained almost continuously since that time I am not able to sell just what the damage is until he sun shines again. We will start checking compliance is soon as the fields dry off. Tire ocal committeemen will not be pernitted to check compliance this rear and the young boys have been rained to do the work. Farmers should cooperate with the boys in ivery way while they are checking heir farms. The cost of compliance vill come out of the farm payment ind the longer it takes the person :o check the compliance the smaller he farm payment will be. The farmer should see that the supervisor checks all fields on his "arm and records properly all tenints before he signs the compliance "orms. The checking of compliance his year is a very technical job and nistakes are going to prove expen >ive. The penalty for over planting tobacco is 10c per lb. and you can easily see that a farm with a tobacco yield of 800 lbs. per acre would cost i the farmer $80.00 per acre for overplanting. A few tenths difference may cost the farmer $25.00 to $30.00. The penalty for over planting cotton is 5c per lb. and a farm with a yield of 300 lbs. per acre would be penalized $15.00 per acre for exceeding the alloced acres. These penalties are deducted from the soil conservation payment and the cotton subsidy payment. The penalty under the recent farm act for over production of cotton is 2c per lb. and in the case of Tobacco 3c per lb. or 50 per cent of the sale price. Louis' Quick Win me* Cirrkf Fa nc uui pi lovo JI *5***- * Warrentonians tuned their radios to Yankee Stadium, New York, on Wednesday night to hear the broadcast of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling prize fight but almost before they had settled to comfort in their favorite chairs the Brown Bomber had knocked out the German and retained his crown as heavy weight champion of the world in one of the shortest fights in prize ring history. The end came for Schmeling in nnnroximatelv two minutes after the gong had sounded for the first round. While the negro champion was regarded as a two to one favorite in betting circles, the German also had his followers and backers. Here in Warrenton it was thought that Louis would win, but no one here, or anywhere else, predicted his defeat in such short order. Around 80,000 persons witnessed the fight. Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Seaman visited relatives in Canton last week. hr 3?

During that time the unit has constructed 1,147,575 feet or 217.34 miles of terrace. The average cost of construction was 41 cents per 100 feet of terrace which is about 5 cents per 100 feet below the State average. The unit has terraced a total of 6,656 acres of farm land during the three terracing seasons. This work has stimulated the interest of the people and has resulted in an additional 6,000 acres being terraced by farmers with light equipment. There are two general types of water erosion?gulling and sheet erosion. The sheet erosion is not as obvious as the gullies that can be seen in many fields in Warren County but it is just as harmful. Both types remove the fertile top soil that can not be replaced. During seasons when terracing can not be done the Unit serves as handy man to all those who have work. One interesting item that appears on the books of the association is a charge of one dollar for pulling an aeroplne out of the mud. \r 1 cu? x? y utaiiuiiai uuup xo Open To Public The shop of the Vocational Agricultural Department of the John R. Hawkins High School will remain open on Tuesday for the next ten weeks in order that it might be of more service to the community, H. G. Rose, vocational teacher, announced this week, and stated that he would be present to help in any way that he can. The negro teacher said that the department is stocked with a good supply of tools and equipment which would make it possible to complete work which has long been desired and invited the public to take advantage of this service. Continuing, he said: "This will not be a course in wood work, but a community shop open to help you build or repair any job that is of shop size; such, as cut steps, build screen doors and windows, chicken coops, flower stands, feeders, lawn furniture, wash benches, saw horses, shelves, racks, cabinets, etc. "If you have a home size job, I will be glad to make arrangements to come to your farm and bring necessary tools at your convenience. "We are trying to place our knowledge, skill, shop, and tools in nncitinn tn he nf greatest heln to ~ - ? ? _ you. "The shop will be open to any who have jobs to be done from 7 o'clock in the morning to 7 in the evening on the following dates: June 28; July 5, 12, lS, 26; August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.

Baxter of Ridgeway and Roxboro c* on a manslaughter charge in the deaih in an automobile crash of J. ^ B. Richardson, 11, on Highway 1 01 two years ago, was begun in Vance ^ Superior Court at noon today. The child was the son of Mrs. O. O. Richardson of Durham. a When court closed late this after- tc noon testimony had been complet- w ed except for several character wit- 01 nesses and any rebuttal witnesses n that may be offered tomorrow. b 01 Baxter was exonerated of all blame in the accident by a coroner's jury which heard evidence at the time of the child's death. Later a Mrs. Richardson came to Henderson w during the June, 1938, term of Su- 0 perior Court and requested Judge a W. H. S. Burgwyn, who was solicitor 11 at the time to have the case re- s' opened. It was at that time the b grand jury returned a true bill. b Baxter took the stand today and ^ told the court that the child was walking along the shoulder of the b l-i io-ti Tiro vr whoro it nine thrfMlffh !? u J nuviv *w ^vww ? ?v0?

The patrolman's right froht fender, however, caught the child and he was almost instantly killed. The road was slick with ice at the time. e Mrs. Richardson had moved to p North Henderson only a few days ' before the accident and the boy jj was unacquainted with the highway, which is a source of terror to most ' P parents and children in that section. v ' " J? ? ? -J -Llieie IS xxu sxucwain. axuu& ^ North Henderson stretch and the j road is no wider than usual, af- t fording little protection to those c who must walk along the narrow c shoulders if they leave their homes 0 at all.

State's witnesses $ said that he was going 60 miles an s hour but the records of Patrolman a T. E. Cook of Henderson, who af- c terward reached the scene, showed n that Cook had put down 25-30 miles t an hour for Baxter's speed. Twenty- t five miles an hour is the amount ii allowed by law for this section. c This is the eighth time that this trial has been set for court and J each time previously it has been sent back with a continuance.

The meeting next month was langed from the first Monday un1 the following day due to the fact lat the first Monday this year falls i July 4, a national holiday, and le bank and business houses of the iwn will be closed on that day. In sciding to change the date of the leeting, the commissioners not only >ok into consideration that business ould be at a standstill but also rec;nized the fact that probably a umber of persons who' might have usiness with the board would be at of the town and county for the oliday. The meeting here this week was rather harmonious affair. There ere perhaps 20 or 30 persons before le board during the day seeking djustments in tax valuations, bas lg tneir claims in almost every m;ance on the grounds that Umber ad been cut and removed or houses ad been destroyed by fire or had ecome worthless. In a few in;ances values were increased as ew property was added to the taxooks. The concensus of members f the board was that the county either gained nor lost to any noiceable extent in tax valuations as result of the meeting. The commissioners paused in heir tax valuation work long nough to open bids for making reairs in the Clerk of Court's office here plastering recently fell, and. .t the county jail, as recommended iy the Grand Jury. Jack Smiley, he lowest bidder, was given the ontract for the work at a total cost o the county of $221.75. The Jail fas recently remodeled but when L1C JUU WHS lUUl^ULlCU Ulb uiwiu ury at the last term of court found hat there were a few dtails to he ompleted in complying with former Jrand Jury recommendations anc rdered that the work be done. The commissioners also agreed to ay the assistant county agent 35.00 per month provided the state rould increase its appropriation oy 15.00 per month. At present the ounty is paying the assistant agent 25.00 a month and the state is upplementing this fund with $100 month. William H.
