Something like 100000 is to be

tarily confessed his guilt, according
to Parole Commissioner Edwin M.
Gill. Here again the State runs into
difficulty. A prisoner convicted of a
capital felony is supposed to have
protection to the end. It is contend
ed by the defense that it was an in
vasion of the prisoners right to an
appeal when an officer got his State
Prison confession.
The high court now has this moot
on its hands: A prisoner has been
convicted. His attorney contends that
the State isn't giving him his legal
As days in which to perfect his ap-
peal. It is further commended that
some rights have been violated in his
prison confinement while his appeal
waits on the court. It the court should
find that there is no merit to his eff
fort to docket the appeal it would be
reviewed as to the actual trial and
conviction.
If the court dismisses the appeal,
the prisoner automatically gets ready
for the gas chamber. If the certiorari
motion prevails, the arguments will
be heard this fall.

brought into court on the charge, and
the case was continued until Novem-
Der 5, 1885 when the state took a

Warehouses Will Likely
Be Well Covered Monday
All Have Been Swept Clea and Marked off For Rows
of Weed: Warehousemen and Buyers in From Bord-
err Belt Prepared for Middle Belt Season

or Eastern Carolina territories, due to
more favorable weather conditions in
time to permit plants to take on new
life after the spring dry season, which
was almost without precedent fol
good leaf is said by tobacco men to
have been harvested hereabouts.
Great preparations for handling the
crop on the local market have been
made in advance of the start of the
selling season. One new warehouse
has been erected and another has
been enlarged by about one-third of
its former capacity. Henderson this
year, for the first time in it's history
as a tobacco market, will have seven
houses in operation.
Two manufacturing companies hav-
ing buyers here and who take large
quantities of leaf from local floors
have enlarged their facilities for
packing and handling their purchases.
A new packing house has been erect
ed by the r. j. Reynolds Tobacco
Company just across the street from
two of the biggest houses and within
half a block of a third, the newest
one. The Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Company has enlarged its packing
house considerably to permit of great
er convenience in preparing its leaf
for shipment to permanent storage
quarters.
AS has been the case for many
years, double sales with two sets of
buyers will be conducted on the Hen
derson market again this year. This
extra asset has been a big factor in
the growth of the local market in the
past decade or more.
Henderson has set its figure at 35,-
100000 pounds for 1886. This is ten
million pounds more than the 24,261,-
444 pounds sold last season for S.
| 055,054.01 at an average of $20.84 per
hundred. While this high goal has
been fixed in the face of a shorter
crop, cut down by the unfavorable
weather, determined drive has been
conducted to bring in large quantities
of the leaf from other sections and
territories from which Henderson
draws it's sales.
Through the Henderson 1920 Club
tobacco and business men generally
have pooled their resources and con-
tributed large fund for the promo
ton of the market, and this is ex-
pected to prove effective, as it did
last season, in greatly increasing the
offerings in Henderson warehouses.
The club has opened large and COM
modious quarters convenient to both
the warehouses and the retail shop
ping district for the free use of grow
ers and their families who come here
to sell and to do their shopping. The
49, in the name of the club repre-
sents the goal for tobacco in millions
of pounds, and the 900 represents
thousands of bales of cotton as the
goal for handling here. Some $4,000
bales of cotton were sold here last
year, representing the attainment of
that end of the "25-15" clubs goal
last year.

High School
Is To Start
.OnThursday
Long-Delayed Desks
Arriving and Will
Be Ready; Others
In Operation

Apparently definite assurance was
given today that the Henderson high
school will open next Thursday as
planned as the result of the arrival of
first shipments of desks from the
manufacturers. Delay in the arrival of
these furnishings already has forced
the postponement of the opening a
week. All other schools here opened
last Thursday.
The new equipment is coming from
manufacturers in Piedmont and West
ern North Carolina and is being NOV
ed in here by truck. Workmen are
now engaged in setting up the desks
and other furnishings.
The high school, a handsome $685.
600 structure, and the finest school
ever had, was completed only last
summer. Until now, however, it had
not been furnished, and this has
caused the delay in the opening.
It was said today by Prof. w. u.
Payne, principal of the high school,
that the desks would be in place by
the first of the week He anticipated
no further delay in the start of the
;erm there.
Meantime, the other schools are
ready to start active work on Mon
day. Pupils were registered last
Thursday, and on Friday were given
their lesson assignments preparatory
to start of class work in dead earnest
and on full schedule next Monday.
All members of the faculty of these
schools are in the city and on their
jobs. High school faculty members
not already here will arrive early in
the coming week.

Tobacco warehouses of Henderson
began filling today for the opening of
the auction selling season in the Mid
die Belt next Tuesday, September %
and indications were that py MONDAY
most of the floors would be well COW
cred with the first offerings or the
growers for 1886. Tobacco men look
for a heavy break opening day
All houses today had been swept
clean throughout and had been mark
ed off for the long rows Of the yell
low weed. which will be weighed and
given places in line for the auc-
tioneers and buyers as they pass up
and down to make their bids on the
farmers offerings.
All buyers who are to operate on
the Henderson market this season
were in from the border markets and
ready for the start of sales. Likewise,
the local warehousemen who have OPP
Grated at various points on the Dor
der were here to start off the season
on their LEGAL floors. In one or two in
stances they will commute back and
forth between here and the border
telt, trying to hit the biggest sales
days in both places until the close of
the active selling season in the South
Carolina territory.
1t is expected the major portion of
border belt tobacco will be sold by
October 2, and many of the markets
there will close at that time, or at
least greatly curtail their operations.
Higher prices than last year are
generally expected as sales get under
way here Tuesday and throughout the
Middle Belt. All belts that have al
ready started for 1886 have shown
better averages this year. Many OBJ
servers of the local crop are of the
opinion that the type of weed grown
and cured in this section is superior
in quality to that in either the border
