Monday and are to be submitted on . August 20. Usually work follows within a few weeks after the bids' , have been submitted. j ; This dirt piece of road is 5.61: . miles long and is said to be the r only part 01 tnis nignway which is not hardsurface. Why this section' i of the road was not surfaced along [ with the rest of the route at the [ time of construction is not known ; here, but the fact that it was notj j has been a cause for complaint . among mny citizens for some timeCounty Homes i Are Being Closed] i With four North Carolina county t hornet-already closed and five more1 t in process of liquidation a steady j drop over a period of three years in . the number of inmates has given the i state eight counties with less than i ten population in their pauper in. stitutions. Greene, Carteret, Yancey, Swain and Macon county commissioners \ have endorsed the closing of their county homes, following the lead set by Hyde, Chowan, Cherokee and Mitchell. Camden, Gates, Greene, Henderr son, Jackson, Perquimans, Transylvania and Yancey counties are now ? maintaining their aimsnouses ior i less than ten inmates. j t The public assistance program for i the aged needy and the expense of maintaining institutions with a . small population was the reason for counties adopting the modern trend . of finding suitable homes for their 5 indigent outside poorhouses as given] 5 this week by Dr. J. Wallace Nygard, director of the division of instituj tions of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. Listed as inmates in 84 North . Carolina county homes at the end ; of June were 2,790 inmates while for . the same date last year there were 3,032, a considerable drop from the 5 3,115 of June, 1936. Fifty-nine deaths among the inmates were reported to Dr. Nygard j for the month of June. Thirty-one ; homes reported 83 children under f the age of 16 being taken care of by the county. hp IB; WARRENTON, COUNTY ( I RIDE BICYCLES FROM RICHMOND Youths Pedal Wheels From Virginia Capital To Visit Their Cousin Here MAKE TRIP IN 8'/4 HOUR!* Tired but proud of .heir achievement, Clyde and Robert Alvis o: 3100 Cliff Ave., Richmond, rollec into Warrenton on their bicycle; Sunday afternoon after spending eigh: hours and fifteen minute; peddling and coasting the highway from the Virginia Capital to th< home of their cousin, Jackie Smiley whom they are visiting this week.

Agent Requests ^ ' 1"Q* rrn VJ1UVVCI9 ACT Payment Forms By BOB BRIGHT, County Agent We are making application for the 1937 cot;on price adjustment, or cotton subsidy payment, as fast as possible. Notices are mailed to producers each day requesting them to come in and sign their applications. In case the 1937 cotton has been sold the producer should have filed in this office a sales certificate, but if he has failed to file his sales he i . should bring them with him at the ! time he signs his application. Cotton stored at home or in a warehouse will be considered sold as of June 30, 1938, for the purpose of making the payment I Producers should bring their gin ticket or copies of their notes with them when notified to come in and sign their applications. Several proj duces have come in recently and i brought copies of their notes where they have borrowd on their cotton. We do not have filing space for all 1 of this information and producers | would be helping us to hold their j notes until notified to come in and sign their application. I We cannot take care of all producers in one day and will have to ' rtf nrft I UiitJ lilt klJ'ii.CIIl U1 w j ducers to come in and sign. When ! the notice is sent all of the information for the application has been compiled and the application is I ready for the signature of the producer. ' In a few cases tenants or others j that produced cotton on the farm in 1937 were not listed on the api plication for payment under the j soil conservation program in 1937, The producer that failed to list all I tenants or persons that produced cotton in 1937 will be required to furnish the state office satisfactory receipts signed by the person that produced the cotton to the effect that they have received settlement ! for the 1937 payment. They should bring this information with them when they come in to sign their application for cotton price adjustment. ' A few farmers have exceeded , their alloted cotton and tobacco acreage as shown by compliance. 1 These producers will be notified in i the near future and they should ' come in immediately and discuss I this matter with the county com mitteeMr and Mrs. G.

Their trave minutes. Miss Leach Frowns Upon Practice Of Street Begging By LUCY I. LEACH, County Welfare Officer Several times within the past fey > months, I have seen wierd looking bunches of people begging on th: streets of towns in Warren County JI know nothing of the needs of these people, but I really think it a bac policy to give to people unless some investigation has been made o; these cases asking for aid. I have seen citizens approached by these beggars, give, asking a few questions I am sure that the donor thinks hs is doing a good deed, but I really dc not know how much good or harrr they are doing. Recently, I was in a cafe when ? large family came in and appliec for aid to those in the cafe. ] | thought I would ask this group ? few questions, but when I approached one of them they hastily left th( cafe. I believe it would be a gooc idea if all the towns in the count] would have an ordinance forbidding begging on the streets. In spite of all the relief that i: being administered through the Welfare Department, I know of man] needy cases that are Warren County citizens that are really in need o: aid. The cases that I refer to hav< been investigated, and I can giv; the names to anyone interested. Never since I have been workinc in the county have I had as man] appeals for food as I have had thi< summer. One reason for this i gardens were destroyed by the rair and crop reduction has caused un employmentCases Needing ad In Warren Among the cases needing aid a! present are: 1. Transportation for two colored crippled children, who have beer admitted to the Orthopedic Hospita , in Gastonia. 2. Colored girl needs operation or eye to save vision and also need i operation on throat. 3. White woman, mother of si> children. Father sent on the road' ; recently. Needs food. 4. White woman, four children Deserted by father. Need food. 5. White woman and three children, deserted by father. Need food 6. Colored girl needs tonsil operation immediately. No money.

September 7 th. Sixteen fi , colored schools in the cotton area w ^ began work on August 8, and will tc , close at the proper time for a few y< ^ weeks in order that cotton picking a< may be completed. g< ; Parents are requested to *' ) their children who are not already t vaccinated against smallpox, visit J the family physician well in adt vance of the opening date so that j vaccination may be out of the way. [ If any child is sent to school witht out having been vaccinated, it is le . done with the express and positive cc , understanding that Mrs. J. S a1 I Jones, county nurse, will vaccinate r such child at school when she ti r makes her visit for that purpose. S: Children cannot go to school wi:h- ti 5 out being vaccinated against small- z? pox unless they carry to the teacher pi , in charge a certificate of a resfdent ir . physician declaring that for medi- ci f cal reasons they are not subjects ai , for such immunization. di ; The children in the elementary n' schools will receive all basal books! ; free; but each child will be requir- bi ! ed to rent from the state the full j n 3 set of supplementary reading books j 3 just as was done last year.

Certain books in the vocational departi ments are bought. 5 High School students are requested to select their courses and u: arrange their daily schedules wirh w great care. It should be borne in tl mind that public high schools ar- di range their curricula for the needs t< of the children, not assuming they M are going to attend college unless D the parents so state. We graduate d many thousands of boys and girls ^ ; in this state after they have taken t high school courses which are not tJ ' arranged for college entrance Par- b< t' ents of boys and girls in high cl ? school are requested to indicate to al r the principal on the opening date ^ whether these students should take ?i the college preparatory course, so that the teachers may direct them 1 accordingly. High school gradua- a ^ tion is not the same as preparation ^ for college entrance unless students r( " and parents wish it so. The re1 quirements of the various colleges e' vary greatly.

Mr. Newell, who appeared to be in good health when he left his duties at the court house around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, was at his home a.tending to his daily chores before leaving for Greenville to spend the week end with his wife, who was visiting there, when he became ill. He was in the act of milking the cow when the stroke occurredSomewhat in a stupor which prevented him from realizing the seriousness of his illness, Mr. Newell got into his car and drove to Greenville where his condition continued to grow worse. Declining to see a physician there, he was brought home Sunday by Mrs. Newell and his trouble was diagnosed as paralysis. Since then he has been in bed in a serious condition, although it was thought that he was showing signs of slight improvement on Tuesday and Wednesday. Only 26 years of age and thought to be well, news that he had suffered a stroke came as a distinct shock to relatives, friends and acquantances of the county. 1.1,. -i Seven Cases On Recorders Court Docket Monday A docket containing seven cases, each of which was against members of the negro race, was presented by Solicitor Joseph P.
