She woke up next morning feeling
very tired. This also, was a new SEN

But now her head was heavy and her
whole body listless. That sense OF
being stified inwardly was still upon
her, too. 1t was as If she were shut
within her own mind as within a
smoky room.
She got hurriedly out of bed and
plunged into the cold bath that Dono-

severely:

DANVILLE TOBACCO
SALE IS $6,000,0OO
Farmers of Section Are Taking to
Heart Short Crop Talk

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, March 13.-The
Danville Tobacco Association today
issued statistics or the sale of tobacco
on the local market for the season
which closed yesterday. Farmers of
this section who sold at auction de-
rived over six million dollars in cash
for their leaf. The receipts Of the
tobacco pool are withheld, but there is
reason to believe that since October
the amount of tobacco pooled and sold
at auction exceeded over 80 million
pounds. The figures for sales at
auction are SS.71S.989 pounds sold for
Sc, ,0S7, 1851, at an average price of
s15.72 per hundred pounds.
The volume of tobacco sold was
more than two million pounds in eX.
cess of last year, but the average was
considerably lower, last years figures
being $23.01 per hundred pounds.
The crop was not money-maker
for the farmers because the drought
was responsible for a dark and heavy
crop not favorable to buyers OF Gig
arctic types, consumption of which is
increasing.
The growers of this section appear
to be taking to heart the warning is
sued by the Tobacco Association of
the United States and will not plant
out as heavy a crop as in the past, lest
price collapse follow. Efforts are be.
ing made through different agencies
to prevail on the farmers to raise
more home crops this year.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Accrued Interest on Bonds.

One point about the buying and
selling OF bonds is not generally un-
derstood. 1t relates to the way in
which accrued interest is added to the
price Of bond when a sale is made.
The rule Is. with certain exceptions to
be noted later, that the purchaser Of
bond listed on the New York Stock
Exchange pays the amount OF the in
terest which has accrued since the
date OF the last coupon when he buys
and receives the interest accrued when
he sells.
The matter can be made plain by an
Illustration. Take for instance a Union
Pacific first selling. say for "a, which
means $940 for a $1,000 bond. Cou-
pons on the Union Pacific 4s are due
January, and July /. Suppose an in
vestor buys a bond on April 1, the
price being as stated 81. He pays $940
plus $40 interest from January l to
April l, so that the total cost to him is
$3.50 besides the brokers' commission.
If he should buy between January l
and April / he would pay a proper
tionately smaller amount in interest
and if between April l and July ! a
larger amount.
This works out so that an investor
never loses any interest when he sells
q bond no matter what the coupon
dates may happen to be. Neither does
the purchaser lose anything. for he
gets back the accrued interest he has
paid when he cuts the next coupon. In
this respect Liberty bond has the ad-
vantage over an account in the savings
bank. Withdrawals from the savings
banks between interest dates involve
some loss of interest, which is never
the case with bonds. 1t is only fair to
q id that the savings bank account has
no fiuctuating market price such as
all bonds have, even United States
Government obligations.
The exceptions to this method of
dealing in bonds comprise those issues
known as Income bonds which pay
interest only II earned and only on
declaration by the directors Of the cor
poration. These are bought and sold
flat" as the phrase is, which means
without any reckoning Of accrued in
terest. There are a few income bonds
on which payments have been made
regularly for so long a time that by
special ruling they are traded in on
the same basis as other bonds. but
these are very few in number. The
commission for buying and selling
bonds is very small. To the man who
buys for permanent investment it is 4
negligible charge. For listed New
York Stock Exchange bonds it
amounts to only So for each $1,000
denomination.

FIRM TO HANDLE
PIERCE OIL BUSINESS

Jones Bros. Motor Co., local Ford
dealers, have received the appoint
ment as Wholesale dealers for Pierce
Petroleum Corporation in Randolph
county.
The Pierce company, formerly
Waters-Pierce Oil Company was the
first oil concern to establish and main
tain an Office in Pocahontas. For
many years the business was handled
by the late Ira Magruder. After his
death, the widow, Mrs. Kate Magruder,
assumed management of the Office. She
was succeeded by Kern L. Hall who
controlled the local sales until a few
months ago, when A. Il. Warner was
made manager Mr.. Warner, we I'M
derstand, made such an excellent re-
cord with the company that he was
offered a much better position. He
has not yet announced his intentions
for the future.
Jones Bros. will handle the Pierce
business through their Pocahontas
office, but the affairs Of the business
will not be connected with their gar
age business, according to Mr.. Edmun
Jones, a member OF the firm.
]. NJ. Haltom, who has recently been
connected with Jones Bros, will ham
die delivery Of the orders, solicit bust
ness and look after the outside affairs
of sales under the new management
This position was, until recently. held
by Frank Byrd, our next chief deputy

E. N. ELLIS CAMPAIGN
LITERATURE is FOUND

Campaign literature, reported to
have been stolen from e. N. Ellis dur
ing his campaign for county judge last
July, has been found. a daughter of
j. $. Startling found the books in an
open field, where they presumably had
been since the night they were taken.
Mr.. Ellis, in the campaign before the
primary, had collected quite a bit of
date concerning the administration of
his opponent, Judge Million, and car
ried the literature with him for use in
his speeches. The night before the
speaking at Ravenden Springs, Mr..
Ellis car was taken from its parking
place in front of the Southern Hotel.
Next day it was found at Ravenden
Station. The cover of the rear com
partment of the car had been pried off
and all of the books and papers We're
missing. Nothing else was taken.
Mr.. Ellis had heard nothing Of the
missing articles until last week when
he received the following letter:
"Mr. e. Newton Ellis,
"Pocahontas, Arkansas.
Dear Sir:
"On yesterday, my little girl found
some books which you lost, when your
car was stolen at Ravenden Springs,
last summer. have the books In my
possession and will be glad to turn
them over to you, when it is conven-
lent for you to call for them.
''The books were out in the open
field, where they were exposed to rain
and sun and the backs are off, but they
are readable. Yours very truly,
"Ravenden, Ark. j. s. Startling"

REPUBLICANS MAY
HAVE LOST SENATE

Chicago, Nov 3-That the Repub
licans may have lost control of tn,
Senate in the Congressional election
today was indicated by incomplete re-
turns from dozen states in which
the contest was exceedingly close.
While the Republicans appear Ia
have retained the House by a reduced
majority, they have had close shave
in the Senate if they have not lost it.
The vets made gains in both the
Senate and House and won overwhelm-
ingly in New York and Illinois.
On the face of the incomplete re-
turns the Democrats captured seven
and perhaps more Senate seats now
help by Republicans.
The Republican senator's who appear
to have been defeated are: James w.
Wadsworth Jr., New York; William
Nj. Butler, Massachusetts; Covington
70. Weller, Maryland; Richard p.
Ernest, Kentucky; George II. viii
liams, Missouri; John W. Harreld,
Oklahoma and Ralph II. Cameron,
Arizona
Whether in addition either Senator
Watson, Republican. or Senator Rob
inson, Republican, or both were de-
feated in Indiana was matter still
in doubt in the light of the returns re-
ceived. 1t was neclS-and-neck race
in Indiana between the sitting Repub-
lican senators and their Democratic
opponents.
If it be found that the Democrats
gained one or two seats in Indiana In
addition to those they have apparently
captured elsewhere, the control of the
upper chamber of Congress definite
ly passes from the hands of the Re
publicans. Even if it should turn out
that the Republicans retain nominal
majority of one or two votes the regu-
lars will be unable to organize the
Senate without the support of the
radical Republicans and the La Fol-
lette group will regain in the balance
of power in matters of legislation
which they exercised in the Sixty
eighth Congress elected in 1922. I'm
der such circumstances the Democrats
and the radical Republicans will be
able to block administration measures
and the Senate will be a total loss to
the president during the remaining
two years of his term.
