Shooting At Pine Knot Inn Sunday Afternoon | Adelaide Isabell Sloan, 29, colored, is held in the jail ip Washington on a charge of murder in the death of her brother, William Sloan. No bail has been set. William Sloan died about 3 O’clock Sunday afternoon from a bullet wound in the brain. His’ sister, Adelaide Sloan, had had unpleasant words with her brothbr during the hours immediately preceding the shooting, and according to reports, she admitted the shooting of her brother and handed the gun to Mrsu Havanna Jeffries, proprietor of the Pine Knot Inn, where the shooting took place. The Sloans, brother and sister, lived on adjoining farms cn route 627, known as the Battle Creek road, between Route 522 and Laurel <Mills. There had been alleged ill-will between the two at previous times, and reports said that the sister had threatened tp kill her brother. 1 i Adelaide Sloan arrived at the Pine Knot Inn Sunday afternoon and witnesses stated that she was looking for her brother and stating she was going to kill him. As William Sloan came out the door of the Pine Knot Inn, his sister began talking to him. Witnesses say that he started around the east corner of the building and then turned to face his sister, and at this moment three .shots were fired. One shot entered Sloan’s face and lodged in the brain; the second shot entered the shoulder and came out below the waist in his backj the other shot pierced his hand. He fell, face down, and was dead upon examination. Witnesses state that Adelaide Slpan then walked to the home of Mrs. Havanna Jeffries, proprietor of the Inn, who had run out the front, door to investigate the sounds of the shots, and she told Mrs. Jeffries that she, ha<j shot ::—the gun..

Micks, of Orange; Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Annie, Harry Stephenson, Miss Evie DeJarnett, of Fredericksburg; Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Keyser, -and son John Keyser. “Pleasant View," the Keyser home was built by a Dr. Strother, in 1739. This date can still be seen on a brick in the chimney.. Dr. Strother was a musician, being very talented in playing the violin. He instructed the builders to construct one room large enough to study and play his violin in. According they built one room 18 feet square, 10 feet high. Dr. Strother said the dimensions of the rest pi the house made no difference to him. This musician’s room, where Dr. Strother once played his vio lm, is now Mrs. Keyser s dining room. Several rooms were added to the house by Mr. and Mrs. Keyser. Pleasant View is a beautiful ear tate with all the charm of a southeijk home, the hospitality of its gracious hosts has been 'an- outt standing characteristic through' out the generations. Pleasant View also has between 75 and 80 acres of apple orchards. Some trees are as much as 55 years old, the ^youngest orchard is 15 years old.

' By Elizabeth Baatia A. meeting was called at the Warren County Courthouse in Front Royal Monday, August 28, to consider"the establishment of a District Home for the Aged in the northwestern section of the State. The meeting was originated by the board of Supervisors of Rockingham county, who felt the surrounding counties and the cities of Harrisonburg and Win* cheater would be interested in hearing a report of a survey of the situation made by the State Department of Welfare and Institutions and discussing the selection • of a site for the proposed Home. Representatives from the counties of Clarke, Frederick, Madison, Orange, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, and Warren and the cities of Harrisonburg and Winchester were present. Greene county was asked to send a delegate, but no one appeared frbm that county. The Rappahannock county delegation consisted of Mrs. C. E. Johnson, Jr., chairman of the Welfare Board, Mr. A. C. Latham, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, Welfare Superintendent. * . For those who may be particularly interested in the establishment of a District Home in this section of the State, a more detailed account of the meeting held in Front Royal is given below. It will be noted that about a year ago Mr. Arthur W. James and Mr, John L. Bruner of the State Department of Welfare and Institutions attended a meeting of tho Board of Supervisors here and gave most interesting talks on the history of the almshouses and the development of district homes for the aged, Later, a delegation of . people xrom tne county visiteu tne District Home at Manassas. . ~ Wheq the meeting was turned over to Mr. Bruner, he began by telling the group pertinent facts about the four existing district homes for the aged in Virginia) namely, those at JAanassas, Chatham, Dublin, and Waynesboro. These homes are operating at a cost of $1.00 to $1.50 a day per person. The homes were originally intended to care for the able bodied indigent. However, the counties found a need for taking care of the sick, and in three of the homes the trendy has been to provide infirmary care. In the home at Chatham 36 of the 96 inmates are bedfast. All the homes are faced with the problem of enlargement. The District Homes are operated by a board which is composed of one member from each county. Each member has one Vote. The member is usually a, member of the Board of Supervisors, although the law does not require this. Since these homes are public institutions, Old Age Assistance cannot be granted to people 'in them. Qeneral Belief funds can'1 be used to pay for the care of indigents in these homes, which are approved by the state. Mr. Bruner pointed out that this group of counties might want to consider forming a private corporation home, such as the Patrick Henry Hospital in Warwick county. Fourteen counties and two cities belong to this private institution." The Patrick Henry Home was set up to provide for the chornically ill. V When Mr. Bruner was asked about the cost of such a home, he said that the capital would be prorated according to the population. Percentages for each of the counties and cities in our district have been worked out. Rappahannock's share works out at 8.65%. Rockingham would pay 20.96%, since ah' has the greatest population. Once >the home was put into operation, the income would come from the counties on the basis of the number of. people in the home. If any county had no one in the home at one time, they'would not have to pay. ' . C Mr. Bruner said that representatives from several counties and from the State Department of Welfare and Institutions had recently visited the Remount Station near Front Royal and were , most favorably impressed with the possibilities it had of • being converted into a district home. The • Patrick Henry Hospital had been an embarkation center during the war and had cost about 950,006 to remodel and equip. Mr. Bruner •aid the Remount Station was in far better shape than the Patrick Henry Home had been and would (Sea DISTRICT HONI, Page •> '*J

Subscription: .... $2.00 a year Mu’* Last Day The feminine power takes over In the erstwhile quiet town of Washington on the fateful day— tomorrow. The era of male domination terminates amid some jokes, some misgivings, and some well wishes. The pros and cons have been - discussed at length, to some opinions “ad nauseam.” A few wiseacres will shake their hears profoundly and assure the general public that no good can come of it. Some will say that the ladies will be able to get by with revo—Jutionary ideas that the men wouldn’t dare tackle. Others will predict that the difference between the male and female governments will bd neelisrible. - There is one statement that the ladies will admit: they shall depend upon the men. Here at the News office it’s the feminine name -listed aapublisher.hut the d#y. anyone thinks that the brother is not the real power behind the throne, they axe mistaken. He is. Recent papers carried the death notice of one of the oldest writers •of a syndicated news column, but he was not the first. It was a lady. Dorothy Dix has the distinction of having the oldest Syndicated news column, with ther advice to the love-lorn. “Hiss Dix,” and her advice became a by-word in many homes, and she came in for her share of joking, too. The ladies of Washington’s new municipal government have voiced no wishes to take over any such duties as those of Hiss Dix, but like that famous lady, they may do a great deal of good along with the days of having to take the joking. They are not seeking publicity for their job Is one of service to their town in a dignified way, and with dignity they will perform their duties. fT There is no doubt that they will call on the men-folks. During the government of the male mayors and councilmen, it has been no-> ticed that help was forthcoming from ladies’ auxiliaries. The stories are oft-told: the female who screams at the sight of a caterpillar; but the story has been told also of the man who fainted when his child was hurt, which gave the mother a sick man to take care of, as well as the injured child. , The ladies are going to do a fine job of running the town. They may be like the ladies in Clintwood, Virginia, and refuse to tackle the job after one whack t it, but they’ll get accomplished whatever they decide is for the good of the town. They’ll have co-operation, too. Each citizen is proud of his own community and he’s willing to help in any undertaking that is for the town’s improvement. The ladies, while they are in office, iwill get the credit for all good accomplished, and that’s fine, because also they shall receive the criticism if somebody gets peeved with some of their work—and someone will, £ou can bet your bottom nickel. There’s one thing of which the ladies can rest assured: the hottei the criticism, the more they are doing; for the fellow who is always right in the eyes of the public is either dead or else he is doing nothing. Sincerely and truly, though some will not admit it publicly, the ladies go into their offices Friday with the good wishes of everyone.

The Timm Hob Comm,9 the Valrn uU . . . This seems to ring a familiar note—in fact, it has appeared before in the paper, but some people still- don’t understand why all the “News Notes” of the county are put into one group instead of being separated into each communis The purpose is quite obvious. The county is now a community. A few years back each community stuck more to itself, but that is no longer true. There was a day when a trip to see a neighbor in the other end of the county was • task, but a drive now from one end of the county to the other is no more than an hour. You can walk four miles in a hour. If a friend of yours, four miles from you, were sick, would you hesitate to walk to their help if you could find no way of transportation? Your grandfather would not have hesitated. Today, in that length of time you can go to the help of any neighbor anywhere. It’s time the county as a whole became one. There is only one Rappahannock county in the world, and each one of us loves it, and all the people in it. As a whole, we enjoy its beauty. As a whole we are interested in. its citizens. As a whole, now, all of the youngsters are going to the same high school. Read all the mwi note*. Learn —the people in your county. Their... children may be the ones in classee with your children in school. They live in the county, too, and though their voting precinct may be 15 minute* away from you, your interests are the same. They raise apple* and cattle just as you do, and they are your neighbors. The News shall stick to the policy of putting all the news notes together. « * * That pad of scratch paper by the telephone was placed there to take down important messages. (If you do not have a pad, stop by the News office and get one.) No one is fooled by all the explanations: it’s a doodle-pad, and rare is the specimen who will not doodle while he talks, especially if the paper and pencil is at hand. Some wise (or otherwise) man has made extensive studies of man’s personality as revealed in his “doodling.” The complexities . of all these studies of why we tick as we do is sufficient to wory us, if we take the time. Man has no privacy. Some fellow with a string of degrees beyond his name will spend his time placing sinister motives even in the careless pencil-scribblings of the rest of us unsuspecti- ing mortals. Someone should start a society for the prevention of all this prying into the privacy of the rest of us. There are societies for everything else. When people call themselves artists and scribble and smear good paint all over a piece of canvas, the lesults are hung in an art gallery and the public is invited to pay money to view same. Most of the “works of art” look like the cow got her tail in a bucket of paint and swished it over the canvas. Yet the critics rave and the public will go see. Some people oh! and ah! and pretend they think the messes are wonderful; some of us just sit and stare and try to find out what it is we can’t understand about “modern art” and some of us— uncouth and ignorant proletariate —laugh and pronounce the smears and swirls as being just what they appear. They say some people “doodle” with pictures of birds and animals, while others use lines and circles. All this means something, report the learned men. Sure, it means something. It means you’re talking on the phone and a pencil and scratch-pad are handy, and you start scribbling. Period. I shall continue to enjoy the fruits of your serendipity, I hope, for many more ye$rs,” was the speech. Wait until I can find a larger dictionary and I’ll see if you were trying to insult or compliment me.

In ancient Greece men conversed freely. There was a certain group I In Athens which congregated for this sole pleasure. Because Socrates was the wisest among them, he became known as master and the others as pupils. And out of the aired opinions a truth would now and then emerge. And from this group and its learning emerged also Plato, who over two thousand years later may still be studied as one of the philosophic greats. Peeking again back into history, one is able to perceive a whole era which took its name from the wittiest conversationalist of the time: the Age of Voltaire. And what a glorious age it was! But today. Today where are even the ochoef of the luxuries of epochs like those? There is no excuse for the degradation of conversation. Delicately carved furniture crumbles, exquisitely wrought iron rusts, masterful artworks decay, palatial castles fall into ruin, but conversation remains among the eternal luxuries in life. It may be, indeed, as eternal’ as life, pace it, and survive with it. It mast be admitted, however, that conversation being a luxury, is not essential to our existence. Njither is wine essential to a meal ... although the dictates of medical wisdom have proved that it aids digestion, in spite of its pleasant taste and effects. Let us, of Conversation, make a smooth, sparkling wine, whieh, though not necessary to any int tellectual meal, is a luxury that aids its digestion. And once we have tipped its glass and frit its effects, intelligent conversation should become intoxicatingly habit forming. Thus we shall regain a lost luxury of other ages! A Week At Powell's Fori Valley Camp By Gladys B. Reid A sleepy-eyed 4-H camper, questioned by her mother as to® why she didn’t take a nap during rest period, innocently replied, "We tried to sleep, Mother, but the counselors weie so noisy . . .” In defense of Counselors Gen. try, Sollenberger, and Reid, 1 submit this report on a counselor’s week at Powril> Port Valley Camp: - ' , . * r'V | If you're going to do something, you may just as well do it the right way. Believing this to be the most sensible approach, wo decided to literally "rough it.” Accordingly we placed only the barest necessities in three suitcases and a duffle bag. At camp we immediately set up our “drug store,” as it was tagged by a respectful camper. Merchandise in this store ranged from seven tubes of lipgtick, powder, cold cream and perfume to'Jbandhgeb and merthiolate. Of course,, these articles were not for sale but merely to keep the counselors from looking too much like themselves. However, later on in the week a candy counter was the rave of the campers for the duration of three boxes of candy.

Gentry (we will admit) read almost an entire chapter in “Getting the Most out of Life,** before she succumbed to the combined fasces of Soilenberger and Said reading alound “The Adventures of Frankie Longfellow” ' in comics. We not only soaked in the sun. we nearly drowned in it. Our only consolation is that maybe it'll be the fad this year to have beetred complexion^ peppered with mosquito bites. Thursday evening we ventured to return to civilisation. Our detination, Woodstock. All went well until the return trip. The motor’s temperature rapidly rose above the danger point and pitifully cried for water. Not one to refuse a motor a needed drink and not wanting to float into camp via a cloud, we halted on top of the mountain and racked our brains as to how and where we could get water. Lucky, indeed, were we to have with us Friend-Counselor Soilenberger, who knew this country like the powder on her. face. “Half a mile down this road on the left side under a shortleaf pine tree four paces from a long-leaf pine tree is a spring of water,” Scout Soilenberger informed os. . So off we went armed with one paper cop and two beer cans found by the road. To make a long story short, the (censored) spring was dry, and whereas ,we had then - merely strolled down the hill, we now had to struggle up the mountain and face that poor motor with defeat ip our eyes and no water in the beer cans. However, the motor cooled off, and we got back to camp in time for supper. Camp activities officially came to a close Friday night when the campers assembled around the swimming pool with candles in their hands and softly sang “taps.” But for us in Cabin 2 there was to be no “taps,** for we had sighted a mouse ... I was sleeping in the room with ‘ the girls that night (a camper slightly under the weather had taken over my bed in the Counselor’s room) when I heard Sollenberger and Gentry threatening, “Get out of here or . . .** Thinking the week had proved : too strenuous and they had skipped their trolley, I yelled in and inquired as to the identity of the .intruder.

Our Mountain* By Am Uwii Lite*? People here preached patience and tolerance-, aince the world be. came a moving civilisation. - People say, “Take a lesson from the bees," patiently making hon,«y only to have it taken by greedy - humans: People say, ‘‘Take a lesson from the ants," patiently building their sandy homes only to have them scattered by some thoughtless per* son. These are good examples it Is true, but I have often wondered why someone hasn’t said “take a lesson from the mountains." Yea, a mountain, forever kneeling on the surface of the earth, forever looking down on the same scenes, forever bearing the - scare of man. . Does a small mountain have an inferiority complex at being insignificant or does it feel happy, and content; protected by larger mountains? Does a tail peak feel proud of it# height or does it feel left out and lonely? Do they groan beneath the weight of highways and cars? Do they cry with silent tears at the pain of countless fires caused by a careless flick of a match or * thoughtlessly tossfed cigaf rette, burning their lovely features and scaring their bodies? People of Rappahannock, these are your mountains I’m speaking of: Turkey, Red Oak, Fodder Stack, and the countless others. Do you know them? Do you feel the peaee radiated from their - bosoms ? 'Do you realise the, secu£, ity oUr mountains otter against aggression, their walls, a natural fortress in time of strife? Do you see them through an artist’s eyes, sensitive to line and color? Do you see them through a geologist’s eyes, speculating as to min. —eral content, rock texture, and formation? Do you see them' through my eyes, appreciative of the sweep of the range, the dip of the hollows? m Are you blinded as I am, by the splendor of autumn foliage? of summer haze - blue? Are you ns* awed as I am, by the mystery of - their being? . Do you see them only because they are there? If you do—look again and when you see them with understanding you will feel satisfied with the gifts that are yours. Those of smelling, movement, seeing, and the surging exhiliration Of just being alive. * Our mountains art,a. gift-of , .God and nature. ;¥;': We must love them, take care of them, and try to learn the lesson of patience and tolerance they ’ are trying to teach us. - --— .—i • Will Xt Be You? "Last Labor Day week end, 80 people went to their, deaths to aet a new record for highway slaughter,” was the comment today of Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Su' perintendent of State- Police and Executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, in an effort to avoid a bloody rep* etition for 1950. “Each of these victims,” Colonel Woodson continued, “died thinking it wouldn't happen to him-— the fatal state of mind encountered in every motorist and^edestran.” He pointed out further that each week end, and particular^ on those lengthened by holidays, highway users face the inevitable four fatal factors of fatigue, drinking, abnormal traffic and undue haste. “If people would only realise,’’ he said, “that attempting to squeeze an extra hour or so into our holiday by driving too fast or when exhausted is literally asking for death, that the highway is.no place for celebrating or its aftermath, and that heavy traffic skyrockets the accident rifdc, we wouldn’t see days like the Sunday before Labor Day last year when 15 people were killed during the 24-hour period.” The Safety Official stated emphatically that in spite of all that can be accomplished by Education, Enforcement and Engineering, there must be proper individual reception before marked improvement can be shown. “Traffic tragedies occur,” be continued, “because £ takes aft actual arrest' to curb a reckless driver, because the facilities for ease and comfort built into our highways are utilis' ed to facilitate speed, and because attempts at safety education are brushed off with the ‘it can’t happen to me’ philosophy.” In stressl ing the folly of this state of mind, * Colonel Woodson pointed out that an individual can be just as effectively killed through no fault whatsoever of bis own as when he is the offender, and that everyone must be eternally alert for the “other fellow” who thinks he’s the only driver, or walker on the road. In jclosfrig, Colonel Woodson stated that all available personnel of the State Police will patrol the highways in 10-hour Shifts but that his message for the week end would he: “Please don’t make it necessary for them to arrest you but give voluntary and scrupulous adherence to our traffic laws as well as the rules of ordinary common sense.

The Jamboree is sponsored by the Association of Soil Conservation Districts in 12 Southern states and the Association for the Advancement of Negro Country Life. R. L. A. Reid of Unionville, Orange county, was selected as Virginia's Number 1 Soil Conservation Farmer of 1950. Following is an article written by Reid that should be an inspiration to many colored farmers. « “ Ever since I was a boy, I have always wanted a farm of my own. I had only $2.75 after my wedding was over, but I still had a craving to be a farmer. Without any money, stock, or equipment, I bought 21 acres of land. My wife, Mary, and I, by struggling, finally paid for this. We sold this place and bought a larger farm of 102 acres. ' We struggled on under adverse conditions, but with a determination to carry out the vision of my youth. I saw a chance to sell this 102-Acre farm and did sell it. We had raised eight boys and two girls. Counting my assets I found that I had $400 and these children, a good team and equipment, five cows, two sows and a boar hog, and a good year’s ration; in meat and grain. With these assets I bought my present farm of 205 acres. There was no growth on it but sassafras bushes and pines and there were so many deep gullies I could i only plow m patches! It"-was in such a bad state my friends advised me to give it up and lose the $400 payment. I am not a quitter. Mary and I talked it over. It was a quarter of centnry’s savings. We held on and decided to pay the rest, $3,750, or lose it honorably. 1 The Soil Conservation Service saved the day for us. As I stood helplessly looking at my farm running away with every big rain, foreclosure seemed certain. Mr. R>£by, Soil Conservationist, came and laid off this farm in contour strips. I followed all the practices directed by him and other soil technicians just as a drowning man grabs for a straw. I put down not less than a ton of lime to the acre and 800 lbs. of 3-12-6 fertilizer at each rotation; top dressed my corn with 200 lbs. of nitrate of soda and 300 lbs. of 3-12-6, and s o wed legumes every where.

If you haven’t guessed and must be told, This place is Washington’s town Which from today—Lo 1 and behold!— Will be ruled by skirt and gown.
