The jury had received the case ' rom the hands of Judge Clawson 1 i. Williams yesterday afternoon, 1 hortly after 6 o'clock, and since 1 hat time had not been allowed any ' leep, being kept in the jury room ' t the courthouse all night. Judge Williams instructed officers to give 1 ilismen supper last night about 1 :30 o'clock after it seemed that they 1 'culd require an indefinite time for Baching a verdict. Late last night < ae judge retired and ordered that < e be called during the night if any ] ecision was reached.

The hope was expressed this week oat one or more teams may be irmed from the Lions Club, one of ;ov Scouts, one composed of older len of the town and another made < p of younger men, and that a reglar schedule may be worked out jr holding games here each week. ' Since this sport was started here here have been a number of players n the field to participate but they ere allowed to enter the game as : ley came rather than as repre- i entatives of certain teams.

First Cotton Bloom Of Season Brought To Record Office The first cotton blooms to be pre;ented at the office of The Warren ftecord this season came from a FYanklin county grower, J. Ira Wellon, merchant and farmer. Mr. IVeldon's specimen were exhibited fere on Wednesday morning; however, he said that he found the first iloom in his field on June 23. The Franklin county grower stat:d that he planted his cotton in March. He said that he had a fair y good crop, but, like other farmers, lis cotton has been damaged to >ome extent by the excessive rains. Patrolman Calls Attention To Law Motorists are required by law to stop their vehicles before entering i main artery of travel, State Patrolman Parks Alexander stated this yeek by way of warning against the practice that some automobile md truck drivers have of coming into a highway which has the rightof-way from another road without stopping. While the patrolman's warning was to the public at large, it applies particularly to patrons of the golf course, as the intersection of the Liberia road with the Macon road was mentioned by him as one of the points where the law is violated frequently in this manner, and it is a recognized fact that many of the golfers and swimmers who visit l the club daily fail to stop at this] intersection when rushing back to I Warrenton. Another point he mention where the law was violated often is on the Warrenton-Louisburg road at the place it joins the highway leading into Louisburg from Henderson. All vehicles, he said, are supposed to be brought to a stop before they are driven into the Macon road from the Liberia road at Neal's service station, and before they enter the Henderson-Louisburg highway from the Warrenton-Louisburg highway, a short distance from the Franklin county capital.

The Czech Minister's call came on the heels of Konrad Henleln's flying visit to London. Business Houses t n_ pi i u i o dc v^iosea ncre For 4th Holiday Warrenton is expected to reflect little activity on Monday as business houses and public offices here are to be closed in observance of July 4th and many of its citizentry are expected to be at the seashore and other distant places taking advantage of the holiday which this year affords two days of rest and recreation due to the fact that it follows Sunday. Business houses here always close on the Fourth, and this year county officials decided they might as well close their offices on this day too. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of County Commissioners has been moved up until Tuesday ,and Judge Rodwell will skip a week and hold his next session of Recorder's court on .Tulv 11. The town board will hold its regular meeting on Tuesday night rather than Monday night. Golfers who remain in town over the week end will probably spend the holiday at the golf course where a barbecue supper is to be held the afternoon of the 4th for club members, and it is expected that soft ball players will have a game of this sport arranged at the athletic field of the John Graham school for their entertainment on the holiday. J. G. Mitchell Returns From Bankers Cruise John G. Mitchell, cashier of the Citizens Bank, returned to Warrenton Sunday from a week's cruise to Nassau and Havana with members of t.he North Carolina Bankers As sociation, their wives and friends.

Traffic was blocked for several hours. When the waters receded, no apparent damage had been done to the highway, but the surrounding tcmujiy was xuaueu wun lisii. reuple from miles around rushed to the scene and gathered fish from bushes, the road and abutting ditches. The amount of fish taken on Tuesday morning and afternoon is not known but it is estimated to be close to a thousand pounds. Several individuals were said to have caught as much as 100 pounds each as they poured down the roadside, and others went back early the next morning to trace the small stream for those which had been washed across the highway and found temporary security in deep holes along the bank. In the catch were chubs weighing as much as ten pounds, catfish of all sizes, perch, and all other type of fish to be found in ponds and streams of this section. The pond, which lies approximately 100 yards from the west side of the highway is said to have been over 50j years old and to have been stocked with fish for the past sev eral years. The cloudburst apparently did little damage except to the mill pond dam, which broke under the force of the rapidly rising waters. Roads And Bridges In Warren Suffer As Result Of Rains Rain which fell almost daily over the fields of Warren county during the past six weeks and furrowed the brows of farmers as they realized that the unfavorable weather was costing them hundreds of dollars in crop loss have also materially damaged the highways of Warren. From almost every section of the county have come reports of dirt and gravel roads being badly washed out by the heavy and frequent rainfall, and in one instance a bridge was completely washed away wniie in several cases uuugcs small streams were submerged and damaged by the surging water which flower from brooks and creeks. The bridge which gave away was at Beardsley's Mill, across the dam, which broke and flooded the com(Conitinued on Page 8) Lieuts. Skillman And Hundley Promoted First Lieut. Harold R.

OF THE NEWS I ALL THE TIME NUMBER 26 RAINS CAUSE BIG LOSS TO FARMERS Damage In Warren County Is Estimated To Be $375,000 As Result of Rains HEAVY LOSS OVER STATE Damage to crops in Warren county from the heavy rains of the past several weeks is estimated at $375,000, according to an article in the News and Observer on Wednesday by G. deR. Hamilton, Jr., in which he states that a survey of fifteen counties indicated that the total loss in Eastern Carolina would probable hit the twelve million dollar mark. His article follows: Slashing hail storms, coupled with destructive winds and persistent rains, did nearly eight million dollars damage to crops in fifteen counties in eastern North Carolina in recent weeks and a survey yesterdav indicated the t/ital ernn damage In eastern North Carolina because of weather conditions In the past month will pass the twelve million dollar mark. As the estimated damage total rose throughout the east, heavy rains again drenched farm lands and not only indicated still further damage to crops, but lessened the chances that good weather would protect the remainder of the crops and allow some restoration of the damage already done. At 'State College, John V. Goodman, assistant director of the agricultural extension service, said a turn in the near future in weather conditions probably would "change the entire situation" because a substantial portion of the crop loss would be restored by regrowth. "But the picture today is certainly gloomy,'' added Goodman, gazing out of the window at a pelting rain. "And if the weather doesn't change 1-Vin wlntiiKO mU1 V\A mnnh nlnA?*il<m pvuuic mu ut uiuvii giwuuvi. There is no way to estimate the total damage done by the rain; we can calculate pretty well the damage done by wind and hail, but the rain is a different matter. Still, we know that it is taking a terrific toll." Not only in eastern Carolina have crops suffered. Figures at State College showed damage to crops in every section of the State except the far west. Damage was light, however, in the remainder of the west and in the extreme eastern portion of the State. Hail and wind damage was concentrated, the State College reports showed, in the Albemarle section and in the heavy tobacco growing areas. The hail damaged about 1000 square miles of farm lands, the survey indicated. Johnston County appeared yesterday, on the basis of the survey, to have been the hardest hit of the eastern counties. County Agent S. C. Oliver told The News and Observer that he believes the crop damage in his county will be not less than $1,9000,000, based on a loss of 5,500 acres of tobacco, 2tj per cent of the planted crop; 10,000 acres or 13 per cent of the cotton crop, and 9,000 acres or 10 per cent of all other crops. Although Johnston County showed the greatest estimated damage, there were other counties in which the toll was tremendous. Nash County damage, County Agent J. 8. Sugg reported to The News and Observer was "at it now appeas not (Continued on Page 4) Alford Wins In Drivers' Contest The contest sponsored by the Boyd-Boyce Motor Co. to see who could eke the greatest amount of mileage out of a gallon of gasoline in a Ford V-8 "60" came to a close Wednesday afternoon of this week with Charlie Alford of this town re ceiving first prize of $10.00 for obtaining 62.8 miles to the gallon.
