Burroughs, chairman Pi of the Board of County Commis- al sioners, was notified on Wednesday w that the PWA grant which this fJ county applied for to secure federal re funds for the construction of a w negro school house in Sandy Creek township and a school bus garage tl at Warren Plains has been approv- tt ed and that the 45 per cent of the ai money which the government is pro- s* viding for the two projects will be available within the next few days. Wi As soon as the money arrives d< here work is expected to begin on tt the two projects. Plans have already been worked out for the con- J struction of the two buildings which will cost nearly $16,000 and the county is arranging to have its 55 per cent of the total cost on hand when the federal funds reach here. The county will put around $4,000 c in the project calling for the con- e3 struction of a building to replace n the Heck Grove school which was fC destroyed by fire more than two g( years ago, and around $3,000 of the tj. county's money will be used to ir erect a garage at Warren Plains q for housing and repairing busses, as has been recommended by several grand juries. ^c Anticipating this expense, the C( county included these items in its a) budget which was recently made out, but the money will be borrow- a ed in advance of incoming taxes in order to have it on hand when the a] federal grant reaches here. nm All Counties Asked 3( To Exhibit At Fair * County farm agents, boards of 0, commissioners, and superintendents 3 of education all over North Caro- p, lina have been invited to prepare jE county progress exhibits for the cj State Fair, October 11-15, according C( to an announcement from F.

FRIDAY, SEPTE AAA PREPARES COTTON CARDS I To Be Issued After Determination of Compliance With Growers ^Allotments TWO TYPES TO BE ISSUED Cotton marketing cards will be issued North Carolina growers by j county AAA offices as soon as pos- j sible after it has been determined whether they have complied with j their cotton acreage allotments, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College, has announced. Growers who have kept within their allotted acreage will be given white cards that will enable them to sell tax free all the cotton they grow this year, plus whatever cotton they may have on hand from previous crops. Those who have overplanted their acreage will be given red cards. With the red cards, they ; can sell tax free all the cotton covered by their marketing quotas, but ' will have to pay two cents a pound tax on all cotton sold in excess of . their quotas. Growers who plant more than their allotted cotton acreage will also be subject to deductions from their agricultural conservation program payments at the rate of five cents a pound on the established normal yield of the excess acreage. . Growers who have excess acreage ' may secure white marketing cards, i Floyd added, if (1) their total production won't exceed 1,000 pounds, I (2) their total production does not 1 exceed their normal production, (3) < they put up cash or bonds to cover i the estimated amount of the pen- 1 alty involved for excess marketings, t Floyd also stated that ginners are (i required to keep a record of all cot-1 i ton ginned this year, with reports ' being sent to the county AAA of- < fice at regular intervals. Buyers are warned not to pur- (: chase cotton from any grower who ] cannot identify it with a marketing < card lest they be subject to a fine 1 of not more than $500. ] 1 Floyd Eplains AAA j Quotas For Tobacco < Growers This Year/ ' A brief outline of how tobacco ( quotas were determined for this year has been issued by E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State Col- j: lege, for growrs who have been ask-'; ing how the quotas were calculated. ' I i Among the things taken into consideration, he said, were the marketings from each tobacco farm during the past three years, the1 acreage diverted from tobacco un. der the AAA and agricultural conservation programs, the total crop 1 land on the farm, the acreage planted to tobacco this year, the num- ' ber of families on the farm, and the ' number and size of curing barns. I The farm's normal yield per acre, based on the past three years, was also used in the calculations, and adjustments were made for abnor- ', mal yields due to insects, disease,! drought, and other conditions over 1 which the farmers had no control. ' Since the normal marketing for a' farm was figured on a basis that! included 1935 yields, the highest on record, and also included the acre-1 age diverted under the AAA, the quotas for 1938 were calculated at less than the normal marketing figure. Provision was made that a farm with a three-year average of 3,200, pounds or less would not be cut, and no farm producing more than this, amount on an average for the 1935-37 period would be cut below 3,200 pounds. The four per cent increase in the State quota was used to increase the individual quota of growers who had been cut more than 70 per cent I ' ' 1 under tneir normm niaiacwiiBo, Floyd added that the State AAA office is carefully checking over the information used in determining quotas, and wherever any errors are 'found, they are being corrected.

Five Cases Are Tried In Recorder's Court Here Monday Five cases, two of which were jury trials, were disposed of and in equal number were continued in Recorder's court this week. Interest in this week's court centred around the trial of P. L. BobDitt of near Littleton, who faced a charge of operating an automobile while under the influence of whiscey. Evidence was that he lost con ;rol of his automooue wnne driving n Littleton, ran into a ditch and injured himself about the mouth. The state contended that he was Jrunk, arguing that whiskey was found in the car and witnesses stated that he was under the influence of whiskey. The defendant contended through his counsl that the footfeed on Mr. Bobbitt's car had become stuck and that when le leaned over to remedy the situa;ion by unfastening it with his hand ae lost control of the car and received a serious blow on the side if his face which threw him into a coma and, further, that Dr. Browning, who attended his injuries, had testified that he did not smell any whiskey on the defendant. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and Mr. Bobbitt was ordered to pay a 550.00 fine, court costs, and give up his driving permit for a year. The other jury case was a charge of bastardy booked again Curtis Alston, negro. He was found not.| guilty. | A jury was also prepared to hati. -11- lU. irtUlnVi A lrrn Alcfnn QIC II1C t'ct?3U 1X1 YYIllUiX X1XYA iiiotuii) negro, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon off his premises, but due to insufficient evidence the state took a nol pros with leave. Likewise, the state took a nol pros in the case of Roy Davis, negro, charged with manufacturing whiskey, and the evidence was not presented to the jury for a verdict. George Davis, negro, faced a charge of obstructing an officer in the performance of his duty, but being unable to get anywhere with the evidence the state took a nol pros. The following cases were continued: Phillip Stanback, charged with driving while under the influence of whiskey, and Eugene Robinson, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, continued until the third Monday in October; E. R. Edwards, charged with reckless driving, continued until the first Monday in October; G. B. King, charged with operating a motor vefiicle while under the influence of whiskey, continued until the fourth Monday in October; and Ivey Davis, negro, charged with bastardy, continued until after the birth of the child. EPISCOPAL SERVICES Holy Communion will be celebrat ed in the Episcopal churches of Warrenton and Littleton on Sunday morning, the Rev. B. N. de Foe Wagner, rector, announced this week. The hours which the services are to be held are: Emmanuel, 8 o'clock; St. Alban's, Littleton, 11 o'clock. TWINS BORN Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carroll of near Warrenton announce the birth of twins, a boy and a girl, on September 9, named Nancy Faye and James Archie Carroll. Mrs. Carroll was before marriage Miss Ida Perry Collins of Wise. rill ?* * * ?^T on Price, $1.50 a Year >r Bonds To Be To Be Submitted In ion On November 11th The special election which was expected to be held on October 11 for the purpose of permitting voters to decide whether bonds should be issued in the aggregate sum of $45,000 for construction and improving schools and remodeling the comity court house in conjunction with federal projects will not be held, but on Tuesday, November 11, these issues will be presented when voters go to the polls to cast their bal-1 lots in the general election. The change in date for presenting these questions is due to the fact that New York bond attorneys and the Attorney General of this state have ruled that on account of a provision of the statute a special election may not be held within 30 days of the general election; therefore, the question on the issuance of bonds will be submitted at the general election. Following the ruling of the bond attorneys and the Attorney General Wm. H. Burroughs, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, talked with PWA officials of this district over long-distance, and they indicated to him if the county would apply for an extension of time to make application for federal grants which are sought in connection with the bond issues for schools and the court house that it would be granted. Mr. Burroughs did this Wednesday afternoon. While the ruling of the bond experts delays the election it saves the county the expense of a special election which is estimated to cost around seven or eight hundred dollars. Held along with the regular election it will entail no expense other than printing the ballots on which the bond issues are to be submitted. Farm Program ' Gives Seed Loans Payment Check The government's farm program will serve as a check upon those borrowed funds through the Seed Loan office for the purpose of fii nancing their farming operations this year, it was pointed out here yesterday. With allotment cards to check against, Seed Loan officials will have little trouble checking records to see if a farmer has sold i a sufficient amount of his crop to pay off his obligation to the government, it was stated. Heretofore, it was said, a number of farmers failed to pay off their notes on the grounds their crop was short or they had not sold it. U. S. Government Watches Europe Washington, Sept. 14.?The foreign diplomatic corps and high government officials were stirred profoundly tonight by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's bold plan for averting a Czecho.German explosion, hailing it as the first ray of hope in war-clouded skies. | Although none would comment! for publication, most of the diplo-1 matic brigade saw Chamberlain's! impending conference with Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler as a "getting together" which may eliminate misunderstandings and bring an early solution of the Czecho-Sudeten difficulties. They theorized that HitI ler would not have consented to the conference unless the Prime Minister had something to offer. Meantime, while President Roosevelt hastened here from Rochester, Minn., the State Department, which had no comment on Chamberlain's extraordinary maneuver, revealed 1 that its European diplomatic machinery is geared for any emergency. Mr. Roosevelt, who has been at the bedside of his son, James, cancelled plans to go to the summer White House at Hyde Park and ordered his special train to proceed direct to the capital. "The condition of affairs in Europe are very serious," he said in a j brief extemporaneous talk before leaving Rochester. "That is why I go back to the capital." It was the Chief Executive's first public utterance on the Czech crisis and it reflected the concern of Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the | foreign diplomatic corps which beat , a path to his office to discuss the trend of affairs. , Hull, who heretofore had dis( claimed any undue activities in connection with the situation, disclosed (Continued on page 8) 5*1 c r ??? *mm0^_ CURATE, TERSE TIMELY * l NUMBER 37 .SUPERIOR COURT 10 OPEN MONDAY " Judge R. Hunt Parker Of Roanoke Rapids To Preside Over Mixed Term TYLER TO PROSECUTE Judge R. Hunt Parker will preside over the September term of Warren County Superior court u'hirh rnnvpnps hprp nn Mnnriav morning for a two weeks' mixed term. Prosecution will again be directed by Solicitor Ernest R. Tyler of Roxobel. The Roanoke Rapids jurist, who Is well known to this county where he has spent many days in an official capacity as well as visited relatives here on numerous occasions, will find both the criminal and civil dockets comparatively heavy when he comes to Warren next week for the second time since he was elevated to the bench a number of years ago. Three negroes are scheduled to face trial in separate bills of indictment on charges of murdering two members of their race, but since two of the negroes were engaged in the same fight that proved fatal to one man, it is likely that their cases will be consolidated in the interest of time when they are brought before the bar of justice to face trial. The murder counts are booked against Ernest and Jesse Alston and Ed Dowtin, all of the Inez section of Warren county where the fatal fights took place. Dowtin is alleged to have shot Ed Lewis in the abdomen with a pistol on Tuesday j night, August 9, after the men had quarreled, supposedly over a woman. Lewis, who was about 18 years old, died two days later in a Rocky Mount hospital. Ernest and Jesse Alston are to 1 face a murder chare as a result of + rloo+Vi r?f TYim "Williamc u/Vin UilV UV/MVU V/A A AiiA T T AAliUiiM j ??..??? was fatally injured several months ago when he received a blow with a club back of his head. The U,ow was intended for Jesse Alston, another negro, it was stated, and ir is alleged to have been struck by Ernest Alston. Other cases on docket for trial next week are: Robert Thornton, breaking, entering, larceny, receiv. ing; John Alston, assault with a deadly weapon; Calvin Raeford, false pretense; Crecy Silver, transporting and possessing unstamped whiskey; William Spruill, breaking and entering a dwelling while unoccupied; Bennie Meadows, possessing unstamped whiskey; Zan Davis, highway robbery with use of firearms; Plummer Harris and Robert Booth, larceny; James Pete Milam, carnal knowledge with a girl under 16; Steve Norggins, larceny; Elmira Raeford, possessing unstamped whiskey for sale; Lucy Bullock, possessing corn liquor for sale; ' I 'h/,mn c Dovlrt- rlviirino nrhilo linrlpv X HUlliUO i.

In addition to the above nineteen cases on docket for trial at this term there are several old cases which may be brought up for a hearing provided defendants ana witnesses are found. Several of the cases cited above were appealed from Recorder's court. Same Initials Cause Confusion Of Names In giving an account of the happenings of Recorder's court last week it was stated that the case against P. L. Bobbitt, charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of whiskey, was continued until this week. That was correct, but it also happens there is a Paul L. Bobbitt of NorUkio o railrnoH man and ennse 1 Hid I U i Miii VUV* ???"* ) M?v. quently, a number of persons thought that he was charged with violating the motor vehicle law. The defendant was Paul L. Bobbitt of near Littleton, and not Paul Lewis Bobbitt of Norlina. DAUGHTER BORN Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Drye of Warrenton announce the birth of a daughter, Nancy Jo, on Monday Sept. 11. Mrs. Drye was formerly Miss Myrtle Bettie Tucker of Stansfield, N. C. Mr. Drye is the agriculture teacher in John Graham high school. Messrs.
