resolutions passed by the North
Carolina Tobacco Warehouse associa- =
uon, at Wilson, n. c., December 23,
1920
hereas the normal supply Of
priSht tobacco is approximately three
hundred million pounds annually and
whereas 1T is evident that there will
oH earned over from the 1920 crop
lully 50O.ooO.O 900 pOunds--enough to
supply the needs of the world if not
single pound is raised in 1921, and
Whereas the interests of the ware
housemen and the farmers are iden-
ucal IN respect to the amount of to-
pacco 10 be planted, and We feel it
our duty to give the growers the facts
iii our possession that they may be
saved from bankruptcy which may
follow the planting OF even a normal
crop in 1927.
therefore it is resolved by the
North Carolina Tobacco Warehouse
associations:
L. That the proposed reduction Of
one-thlrd in acreage as recommended
by the Tobacco Growers association
Is not in our opinion a sufficient re-
duction--that the reduction should be
at least so per cent and that any
amount planted in excess Of one half
or the normal crop will invite disas-
ter.
2. That we feel it is the duty of
the Tobacco Warehousemen to reach
the tobacco growers in person and to
urge them,
Cd The absolute necessity OF cut
ting their tobacco crops at least one
half--and that IL they plant tobacco
at all they should not plant Make
ALL" big GEN." and "Pinkney Ar
thur" but should confine themselves
to the staple varieties which have Civ
en- Eastern North Carolina it's repu-
tation in the past.
(2) That they abandon the west
as their Smoke House and Corn
Crib" and pledge themselves honestly
to make an effort to live at home in
1921.
CD That the Tobacco Warehouse
men Of North Carolina pledge them
selves in cooperation with the To-
bacco Growers association to form
committees of their strongest men who
shall visit every grower and landlord
in their respective territory and Sc
cure pledges to carry out the recon-
mendations herein submitted. And
that the week beginning January 3,
1921 shall be set aside for this pur-
pose.

(Fifth. Sixth and Seventh FIsors)
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-11

ordinary degree of realism with which Sarah Bernhardt's genius can invest death scene was given some years ago when she was on visit to the city of Constantinople.
 Sultan Abdul Hamid, the Damned" invited the famous actress to an audi ence and was 50 favorably impressed with her personality that he commanded her to give special performance of one of her tragedies in the private theater of the wonderful palace of the Yildz Mosque on the shores of the Bosporus.
 The night set for the performance found the Sultan and some of his conf dential advisers seated in the royal box and favorites of the court filling the rest of the palatial auditorium. The play be- gan and for the first two acts the Sultan watched the progress of the tragedy as vivifed by Bernhardt's genius with rapt attention.
 But when the third act was reached and the heroine lay gasping, pale and wild-eyed, in the agonizing throes of death, the Sultan suddenly rose from his seat and hurriedly left the theater
 Supposing that the monarch was i'll.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-11

the curtain was rung down and the play it's spectacular climax.
 But it was no ordinary illness that had sent Sultan Abdul Hamid hurrying out of the theater right in the midst of Bern hardt's greatest scene. As he later con- fessed, this ruler, who had long been re- hard-hearted of men, was SO over whelmed by the heartrending agony which the actress simulated with such wonderful realism that he found it inn possible to endure the sight or hearing of it minute longer.
 quaintance with the Sultan. He declared that he never wanted to set eyes again on woman who could initiate death in such '1ifelike" fashion.
 The realism which Bernhardt is able to achieve in her dying on the stage is the result not only of her innate genius for acting, but of the long and careful study she has given to death In her early years in Paris she used to visit the famous morgue in the shadow of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. and pass hour after hour there in viewing death in some of it's most horrid forms.
 Through physician friends she secured permission to visit regularly several of the great Paris hospitals and witnessed in their wards many actual deathbed scenes.
 A physician, seeing Bernhardt expire
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-11

ism. And this is why it is to be expected that the scene which will be enacted when the Angel of Death lays his chill hand on her will be as dramatic and uncanny as the world has ever seen."
 As Dr. Level is careful to explain, the fulfllment of his prediction as to the cir cumstances that will mark Bernhardt's death depends on her not passing away with great suddenness and on her re- maining at least partly conscious until almost the very end.
 Dr. Level calls attention to the fact that for several days before Richard Mansfield, the American actor, died he is said to have lived over in the most amaz- ing fashion the tragic moments of the plays he had made famous. He peopled his death chamber with the ghosts of the leading characters in these dramas and addressed to them the same words he had 90 often spoken on the stage. When death finally choked his utterahce he is said to have been beginning the long speech which preceded the final cur tain in ono of his greatest stage sue cesses.
 The physician also points to the recent cable dispatches from the United States telling of the sad fate of Sadie Martinot, once beautiful and famous idol of the American stage. In the New York in sane asylum where she is doomed to end her days in hopeless madness she con- tinually imagines herself on the stage, winning the applause of a great audi ence in one of her many Broadway suc- cesses.
 "All their lives,' says Dr. Level, tact ors and actresses give the most of their time and thought to unrealties. When they draw near death, or when their reason is unseated, as in the case of un- fortunate Sadie Martinot, it is only nat ural that the unrealities into which they have so often projected their personali- ties should obtain complete dominion over
