The Headlight if it knew the facts should have published them, if it was ignorant of the acts, then it should inform itself before undertaking to prejudice the minds of the tax payers. It is this kind of thing that is now keeping the World unset suspicion, ofttimes unfounded. "Be sure you are right, then go ahead" Js a mixim we all should observe. IGNORANCE IS BLISS "Since when did it become the duty of the. Sheriff to hold court We always thought it the duty of a Judge to hold Court.

We don't recall any instance where a sheriff ever held a session of Superior or Supreme court. Enlighten us Mr. Jones. Headlight. The Commissioners of Warren county running back in years in the past certainly thirty of forty years, have always paid the Sheriff a per diem for "Holding Court." Before the day of Sadtry, Sheriff Davis was paid a per diem of $5.00 per day for "Holding Court." I hope this is 'enlightening' at leastr (io If i V-7 9 TO RECORD READERS It has been impossible for us to get the Record to our subscribers on time this week.

The correspondent was unruffled by the demonstration and proceeded whenever he could be heard. Bo-ton prohibition agents, reinforced by Federal authorities raided fifty! nine restaurants Saturday night. It is only the beginning of the campaign to clean out the whiskey ring in the city, agents said.

One hundred and sixty ifive persons wore arrested as-al! leged violators. Strong denunciation of the Soviet Government of Russia came from the American Federation of Labor at its meeting in Washington this week. The labor body declared that reports from Russia prove that the policy of the workers there is detrimental. The American working man is loyal, the Federation said. Edwin Denby, a successor to Jose-pheus Daniels as head of the Navy, was a gunner's mate in the 'Spanish American war and a Major of Marines during the World War.

His assistant, Theodore Roosevelt of New York, was a Lieutenant Colonel of Jnfan-trv with the First Division in France. More than 15,000 workers were reemployed by the Ford factories in the last two weeks. The production of cars will increase to 3,500. daily. Mr.

Ford is optimistic over the business outlook, especially in his own line of production. Mail was delivered in New York last week thirty-three hours and twenty minutes after leaving "San Francisco. This momentous achievement marks the wonderful strides of the Postal air service the night flight from Cheyenne to Chicago made the time-record possible. The previous record was seventy-two hours. The mystery went out of the demand of the Hotel Criilon for for damages done to the hostelry while it was occupied as headquar ters by the American Peace Mission, when M.

Henri Dequis explained here Monday that the injury for which the hotel sought reimbursement by this country was caused by the hobnails in the boots of American -soldiers. Some 200 of our doughboys, he said, were in constant attendance upon and on guard for members of the Mission and, since it was not meet that the costly floor coverings should vbe removed while the house was inhabited by so distinguished a gathering of soldiers and statesmen, it was inevitable that the carpets should suffer. M. Dequis concluded" No offence is meant. The same thing would have occurred had the shoes been upon the feet of either English or Italian service men." pt.

W. W. Christmas, a visitor in Warrenton during -December, spoke last week before the University Fo-nim of America, his theme, the future of aviation. He said that the big battleship would soon become obsolete because of airships and predicted that the next war would be from the air. Others speakers were Lieuts, Kloor and Hinton, aviators who were driven into Canada during December, while on a practice flight in New York.

O. MUDGE, Committee. WHY NOT TELL FACTS? "Imagine the delight of the farmers, who have practically given away their last year's labors, when they have to pay increased taxes next year to me-the increased salaries." Headlight. I cannot fathom the depth of a mind engaged in editing a newspaper which will try to fool the folks. "Truth is mighty and will prevail," then why not tell the facts.

We are presuming that the editor of the Headlight has intelligence sufficient to know the truth, and for that reason we cannot fathom his reasons for saying that the farmers will be asked to pay increased taxes next year to meet the increased salaries. The facts are, that the Bill to increase the tax levy to exceed five cents on the hundred dollars, was asked by the Commissioners for two 1st The Board of Education insisted that the tax levy for Schools was not sufficient to meet the needs of the schools. The Board of Commissioners thought that the levy was sufficient as made. The power to force the needed levy is in the hands of the Board of Education, and realizing that fact, the Board of Commissioners compromised by saying, if you need this money later on we will let you have it from our General Fund. This the Board of Education agreed to and afterwards called upon the Board of Commissioners for six thousand dollars, which the Commissioners turned over to them from the General Fund.

2nd The expense necessary to meet the trial of defendants in- rioting at including the very heavy expense maintaining them at Raleign, around four or five hundred dollars per month, made a condition which might necessitate taking more money than the Commissioners had on hand. These are the reasons for the extra levy and (not to pay salaries. So the Headlight should give the folks the facts and not try to prejudice them against their officials from Mr. Coleman, the Representative down through the line to "Mr. Jones' SO MR.

My dear Mr. Editor: The state of North Carolina hai. provided for each service man of the late war a handsome bronze medal which is presented1 to him free for the application, through the Warren county Red Cross. The Warren county Red Cross has asked me to look after the presentation of these medals and I am writing to ask that every ex-service man in Warren county get his medal. It should preserved for future generations to be proud of.

On its back is a space for engraving the owner's name. There are two ways of obtaining this medal: first to call at thecourt-house, bring discharge papers and receive the medal; second, to write for the application blank, fill it in, sin it, send it to me with discharge paper, and receive medal and papers by mail. I hope every service man in the county wll get the medal without delay. J. EDWARD ALLEN Warren County Red Gross, Warrenton, N.

C. Feby. 26, 1921 ir We are publishing in this issue of the Record resolutions adopted by Greenwood Baptist church, colored, and an article by Rev. J. L.

Alexander and associates of Wise. These resolutions are in line with the view expensed by usin these columns that the substantial, thinking Colored itixens are not-in -sympathy with the rowdy members of their own race. We believe that this sentiment is prevalent over-the- county-among- our best class of colored citizens. It is time for the colored leaders of the South to do their own. thinking and quit listening to advice of those who haven't their true interest at heart, and who reside north of Ma son's and Dixpn's line with nothing at stake here in the South.

If this crowd of advisers and so- called leaders residing in" the North will- let the colored-race, in alone, they will "work their own salvation" in friendship and good will with the white race. Satan took Christ on an exceedingly high mountain and showed him the world and its beauties and said "All these will I give Thee if Thou wiU fall down andworship me" and Satan didn't own a foot of land. And so the Northern advisers and meddlers are trvine to take the Southern Colored man on the mountain top of "Social equality," when these northern ad visers cpuldn't get a "loook-m" from the back door of the very crowd they are toadying to in the North Let-the colored Southern manalone, he has the sense and the right spirit and will live' in harmony and good will here where he was born and knows his "own folks;" and in that spirit his white-neighbors will gladly help him. Upon the suggestion of Herbert Hoover a Food Research Institute will be established at Leland Stanford University in California. Conservation, production and distribution of food is to be studied.

The undertaking is endowed with fi-om the Carnegie Corporation.
