il] the Macon school committee
d j when it appeared before the
n j board of education last month,
v- at that time said it was not pleaaie;ant
to contemplate the loss of
m a school, but the handwriting
n- was on the wall and the needs
) of the children must be placed
1C first. He said Macon patrons
jt were unwilling to try to opin
erate eight grades with only
a-i three teachers.
I
n After considerably discussion
a- Monday night, the consensus of
a the group was that the best injf
terest of the school children
?r would best be served by consolidating
District 6. Macon,
jf and District 1, Warrenton.
le j The consolidation has been
s. approved by both the board of
s- education, and the State Board
y. of Education.
s"| Under the merger Principal
15 j Haynes comes to John Graham
r as a teacher and Mrs. Haynes
| becomes principal of the
j Macon school. Other teachers,
a*jMrs. W. R. Drake and Mrs. G.
,n i W. King, will remain at the
Macon School.
;e J. F. Hockaday will be dis3t
trict principal and will superof
vise the Macon School,
xt The Vaughan Negro elemenn
tary school is also in district
ie 1, but School Superintendent
3e J. R. Peeler said yesterday
in that the merger is expected to
ce have no immediate effect on
or that school's operation.
? The immediate advantage of
I the merger for the two schools
will be that it will make possible
the elimination of two
combination grades at thaJohn
Graham High School 'and will,
of course, eliminate that problem
at the Macon school. Peeler,
said.
He said that another advanrii
tage of consolidation of the
.r. district was that it will make
ie it possible for the board of
jjr education to assign tbree teachers
to Macon next year even
m though attendance may not
,e warrant it.

Water Shor
A warning that water consumption
might have to be
curtailed was issued to Warrenton
residents yesterday by
H. R. Skillman, superintendent
I of the Warrenton Water De!
partment.
Skillman's warning to the
town's?citizens?came?en?the
heels of a series of storm advisories
indicating that the season's
fourth hurricane might
strike this area, Skillman said,
Warrentan's water supply
could be affected by possible
power failure.
At present maximum water
storage for the town is 175,000
gallons. Normal consumption
for this period is in the
noldhh/whnn^ A* 9 AA AAA
| ions daily, he said. Before the
completion o? the Wairenton
I water plant two years ago,
| only 75,000 gallons were available
in storage.
Skillman cautioned townspeople
to conserve water in
every possible way should a
power interruption occur. He
listed tub baths and toilet
flushing as two of tbe ways in
which water is most quickly
used. He pointed out Out
flushing a toilet requires approximately
five gallons of
water.
A power failure not only
would inconvenience residents,
Skillman said, but would also
seriously hamper Ore fighting
should a Are occur during this
time.
He said that although hi*
warning was given Impetus by
Hurricane DonWL tesidenta
should be ^ware^the consecedures
to he followed at all
times - ?*>.

Train Kills
Negro Man
At Wise
A 40-year-old Warren County
man was killed in Wise
early Saturday morning when
he was struck by a speeding
north-bound train near the
Wise Depot.
The multilated body of Ollie
Grigg, dragged several hundred
yards by Seaboard Airj
Line's Silver Meteor, was dis-j
covered at approximately 3 a.
m. Saturday by SAL officials
and Warren County law en-j
forcement officers. |
Coroner N Haithcock said
that the victim, a Negro, had
apparently been drinking prior:
to being struck by the train j
at approximately 2:10 a. m.
Saturday. j I
Haithcock Said that Grigg.
had been visiting his sister,
and was apparently returning
to his home a mile from the;
depot when he was killed.
The Warren County coroner '
said that the SAL engineer
thought he spotted either a ,
man or dog on the tracks but
was unable to stop before he
had travelled three miles from ,
the depot. The engineer said
that he backed up but did not
see anyone near the tracks. (
Apparently he did not back j
up far enough and was unable ]
to spot the body. He spotted i
blood on the front of the ~
train, and called a railroad of- <
ficial in Henderson, who found |
the body an hour later.
Haithcock ruled the death,
accidentl shortly after his ar- i
rival at the scene. j

Sold Here
The Warrenton Tobacco Mar- <
et had one of its best openlg
in years Tuesday with full
ales and hundreds of pleased
armers.
The market average on openig
day was $59.64, compared
,ith an average of $55.89 in
959
Sales Tuesday totaled 289,26
pounds for which farmers
eceived $172,379.10.
Offerings have been light on
Wednesday and Thursday with
o down turn in prices and
eavy sales are not expected
ntil a week or two due in
art to the lateness of much of
he crop in Warren County.
Frank Reams, county agrlculural
agent, told the board of
ommissioners on Monday that
barren County has an unnaualy
fine tobacco crop and that
e expected to see the average
er acre yield increas as much
s 50 nnnnds Reama nleo ulS
hat the county has a good
otton crop and perhaps th*
>e.st corn crop in its histoyy.
Edgar Wood, sales superris>r
for the Warrenton market,
esterday described the openng
on Tuesday as an usually
ine one, with farmers seettvngly
highly pleased with prices
nd little tobacco going into
Itabilization. "I did not soa
?'imed during thed?y.* '.
ie said.
Wood's estimate was boraa ;
ut by remarks of many farmrs
on the street here a few
tours after the market opened. I
'hey ranged from claims fli a ,
:ood sale to wishes of farmers !
hat that had brought SOSOS
obacco for the opening sale.
Business generally has felt

ided by the market.
