ABOVE IS MILLIONS
$118,933 Paid By Buyers
Monday at Average of
$25.87 Per Cwt.

Sales on the Henderson tobacco
market Monday amounted to 459,682
pounds and shot the season totals far
above the $4,000 000-pound level. The
Monday figure included money paid
at $118,933.40 for an average of $25.87
While the average was slightly I'M
der that of week ago, the quality of
the leaf sold was correspondingly off,
and most tobacco men felt that the
price, grade for grade, was as good
as it has been this season.
Sales blocked for the day, but there
was every indication that warehouse
floors would be cleared today, al
though not until after a considerable
volume had been disposed Of
Tobacco men are looking for good
sales the remainder of the week, and
expect the total to be sufficient to put
the market we'll over the 10000, 600
pound figure.
The market will operate only three
days next week. taking off the usual
Thursday and Friday Thanksgiving
holiday period. 1t is believed the mar
ket is good for around 100000
pounds by the Thanksgiving susren-
sion.
Dates have not been announced for
the suspension for the Christmas holi-
days, but it is considered certain that
there will be at least two full weeks
Of sales in the interim.

.|T|NERANTS LIABLE
TOPHOTOGRAPHTAX
High Court Holds Them
Amenable To State, City,
County Levies

Itlnerant photographers operating
IN North Carolina are subject to State
city and county taxes the same as
resident men and women of the pro-
fession, and also subject to the iuris-
dlction of the State Board of Ex-
aminers, it was announced here TODAY
by Ray w. Goodrich, secretary of the
State Board of Examiners. Mr.. Good
rich has just been advised by Robert
A. Wellons, attorney for the board,
that the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals has affirmed the decision
OF the Federal District Court of
Western North Carolina in it's ruling
for the photographers organization.
The suit was brought by Jack Lucas
and A. M. Smith, operating the Fox
Studio. Their contention was that
they were not subject to the various
taxes and not under the jurisdiction
of the board of examiners. The cir
cult court upheld the decision of the
lower court, which had ruled with the
defendant board.
The decision, it was said by Mr..
Goodrich, is regarded as of extreme
Importance by the photographers of
the State, who are making an effort
to raise the standard of their profess
sion. In order to eliminate certain
unethical practices, which frequently
result in fraud, it is necessary that
the BOARD have Jurisdiction over the
ltinerants coming in from other states
as well as those photographers who
are established in North Carolina, Mr..
Goodrich stated.
Itinerant photographers may prac-
tice in this State provided they COM
ply with the tax requirements and
possess the knowledge and ability re-
CURED of those entering the profess
sion of photography in this State, it
was explained.

Workers started out over the city

a total of 5000, the quota assigned to
the Vance county chapter for the cur
rent campaign.
II. e. White is chairman of the Roll

Guided Mrs. r. G. S. Davis, who is in
charge in the fourth ward of the citv.
and Mrs George A. Aycock, who is
chairman for the Corbitt section. The
ether workers are the same as an
nounced last Saturday.
Ward or territory captains were
asked to name their own workers and
most of them had done so today.
While the campaign runs until
Thanksgiving day, Mr.. White said
the organization hoped to complete
the job this week. They had hoped to
cover most of the territory today in
a one-day drive.
Mr.. White said that the work in
the county would be undertaken thro-
ugh the rural schools, and that the
appeal would be taken to the schools
during the week.
Henderson has in the past been
generous in its donations to the Roll
Call campaign and it was hoped today
that the entire quota would be raised
quickly.

Random Notes

Our friends in Frederiksted cannot recon
Gle themselves to an unhghted city. Be-
fore they had city electric plant they
had street lamps. If these had been dust
ed and put aside for emergency as the
thoughtful housewife does there would yet
be a little hghts to help the pedestrian to
see his way.
It may be several months before Freder.
iksted is lighted again. 1t would be I'm
wise for the power Company to rebuild it's
plant when the powerful Uncle Sam with
the u. S. Treasury behind him is going
to be a competitor. The Government
plant can not be speedily installed be-
cause Federal red tape checks the speed of
Federal projects. Volumes of laws and regu
lations must be complied with, various al
phabetical bureaus, agencies, and authori
ties must be consulted and finally the
formalities IN purchasing must be observed.
We are sure that the owners of frigidaires
and radios, those who lighted their houses
by electricity, the boys who under the cleo
trio lights on the street corners discuss
baseball scores and the red hot politicians of
that town who on warm evening chose
the street with its flood of light to discuss
whether Christian Joseph, Paul Joseph,
Merwin or Brow as councilmen did most
for Frederiksted, did not fully appreciate
the priceless benefits of electricity as they
do today.
There is one consolation in the fact that
light will come and when it comes the rates
will be lower than the present Company
can venture to offer.
Having an exceptionally large cargo the
SIS Catherine" could not sail from this
port until 8 Am. yesterday. Mr.. Thor
valid Slater, our most experienced steve
dore deserves great credit for the safe hand
ling of heavy machinery when one con-
siders the poor equipment with which he
has to work.

A SPEECH OF NOMINATION

A SPEECH OF NOMINATION
M OST of the reason for the title
ANA of these little stories-The Man
Who's supplied by the orators
at political conventions who place
the name of candidates in NOM
nation.
Today from the loudspeakers
come to most of us convincing
talks, startlingly free of modesty,
which extol the virtues Of this
favorite son or that one as his
name is placed before convention
delegates.
But the most successful of these
nominating speeches occurred long
before static, was a household word.
1t was made in Chicago at the Re-
publican convention of 1880 by
James A. Garfield, and made hon
estly, in behalf of the nomination
of John Sherman.
Its net result was that Sherman
failed to win the nomination but
Garfield succeeded. So that Gar
field, later a martyred President,
actually is the man who nominal
ed himself.
Here is how it happened. Presi-
dent Hayes had pledged himself
not to be a candidate. When the
convention opened it was plain
that great efforts would be made
to nominate General Grant for a
third term. James G.. Blaine, was
formidable candidate but Grant
had been presented in a glowing
burst of oratory from Roscoe Conk-
ling, bitter enemy of Blaine.
Garfield's speech in behalf of
Sherman followed Conkling's effort.
Instead of qualifying merely as an
anti-clmax it is described by those
who were there as an outstanding
oratorical triumph.
Grant, Blaine, Sherman, George
F. Edmunds, Elihu B. Washburne
and William Window divided the
votes until the thirty-fourth ballot.
Then Garfield, whose speech still
resounded in the minds of the dele
gates, received II votes.
He Immediately took the floor
and protested that he was there
only in the interests of Sherman,
whose candidacy he managed. He
was ruled out of order. On the
next ballot his strength had in
creased to so votes. On the thirty
sixth ballot, with 399 votes, he re-
ceived the nomination which his
epochal speech had asked for an
other man.
