VOLUME 68 Boys Esca] Injury As C I Truck Is I Two teenage boys escaped , serious injury when the pickup truck in which thus' were ridL tttg went out of control and overturned on US Highway 1, ; approximately one-half mile south of Ridgeway on Friday r night. State Highway Patrolman V. R. Vaughtn of Warrenton said that William Kimball Carter, 16-year-old driver of the truck, and a companion, Claude Jordon, also 16, were both treated at Warren General Hospital here following the accident. Carter, a native of South I- Hill, was driving the truck, a 1955-model Chevrolet, north on the interstate route when he lost control of the vehicle. The truck veered off the highV way, skidded back across the road, hit an automobile, and I overturned at least twice on ^ No Change Warren Ci No, changes are expected in farm crop allotments for Warren County in 1960, T. E. Watson, ASC office manager, said Monday. He said that cotton and peanut allotments would not be changed and that he expected no change in tobacco allotments, although in the case of tobacco this has not been definitely determined. Watson's statement was made in a release of an announcement of a cotton and peanut referendum to be held on Tuesday, December 15. This, Jie, said, will be the t 14Jh time upland cotton growers have vdte4 on marketing quoias. in vonng on uwrnber 15, cotton growers will decide whether or not they will have marketing quotas on the 1960 crop and also decide the kind of allotment and price .support programs that will be available next year. If two-thirds of eligible voters favor quotas, the same program now in effect will * continue with penalties for overplanting and the choice of A or B programs for price support that was available in I960. Watson said the county ASC office is now in the process of computing 1960 allotments and the notices will be mailed around December 1 prior to the referendum. He said it appears that all farm allot ments will be the same as in i960. If marketing quotas are retained by growers for the 1960 Minister Invites F World's Largest E Ah invitation to "join the world's largest Bible reading class" was issued Monday by the Rev.

I Patrolman Vaughan said that i me driver 01 the 1959 Edsel involyed in the crash, 36-yearold William Edwin Calloway of Macon, Ga., was uninjured, along with an unidentified travelling companion. Calloway reportedly told the investigating officer that he i was rounding a curve near a service station when Carter and Jordan, a native of Wise, attempted to pass his automobile. ? ? The truck which carried the youths was described by Patrolman Vaughan as a total loss. Approximately $100 in damages was done the Calloway vehicle. ... : Patrolman Vaughan said this week that he is continuing his Investigation of the accident. " s< is Seen Fori op Quotas ( crop, farm operators will have : an opportunity to elect to comply with their regular allotment?called Choice "A" and be eligible for price support at not less than 75 per cent of parity; or farmers may elect Choice "B" allotments which increases his cotton acreage up to 40 per cent more than the regular allotment and be eligible for price supports of 15 per eeni 01 paruy less txjan under Choice "A." Watson pointed out that "If quotas are disapproved on cember IS, the level of price! support to eligible growers will! drop to 50 per cent of parity #nd only the -'regular' allotI ment program will be in effect. J Naturally, there will be no marketing quota penalties." Watson further stated that all farmers engaged in the production of cotton in 1959 will ^ eludes share-croppers and ten- * ants as well as owners. The peanut referendum, also * to be held December 15, will | cuycj uic years isw, IHDl, ana J 1982. The same eligibility requirements for votihg that applies to cotfbn will apply to peanuts. If the vote on peanuts is favorable, the price of the 1960 crop will be supported at a rate between 75 and 90 per cent of parity and penalties will apply on excess acreage.' If the vote is unfavorable, prices will be supported at 50 per cent of parity and no pealties for overplanting will apply.

Officers said that Nelson Bruce, Warren County man between 35 and 40 years of age, I seriously injured Perry following a fracas at the Negro cafe. Witnesses told the investigating officers that Bruce entered the cafe and began hitting Perry with his fists. Later he. took out the knife and cut the man while the two were tussling on the cafe floor. Bruce told police that' Perry began the fight but witnesses said Perry "didn't say a word." Perry was discovered bleeding profusely by a Negro funeral home employee who stopped at a service station across the street from Joy's Inn.

Perry was taken to Warren General Hospital here by ambulance shortly after the irici- ~ dent, but the victim was immediately transferred to Duke Hospital in Durham. Police arrested Bruce a short time later on charges of assault with iui?nt to kill, inflicting serious bodily iniurv. Bruce was jailed but police were unable to find the weapon used to stab Perry. The officers later learned that Bruce had given it to 21-yearold Archie Cheek of near Warrenton, a customer in the cafe at the time of the cutting. The officers began a search for Cheek, who reportedly was drinking and playing with the knife in a dangerous manner. Before locating Cheek, the officers were stopped by Edgar Edwards, a teen-age Negro, who told them that Cheek had cut his ear with the knife following an argument at> a Franklin Street poolroom owned by John Harris. Cheek was later arrested by Warrenton police and jailed here. At a hearing this week. Cheek was placed under a $100 bond and bound over to Warren County Superior Court. He is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. No hearing has been set for Bruce as yet, pending the outcome of Perry's condition.
