CONTRACTOR FOR
UNDERPASS HERE
Preliminaries for Railroads
Part Also Being Begun
With Speed

The contractor who will have
charge of the work Of constructing
the underpass under Seaboard All
Line railroad tracks has been here
looking over the site and making pre-
liminar plans for start of work. 1t was
learned today that representative OF
the concern that will furnish the piles
for use on the railroad tracks has
been here in the interest of that work.
The first work to be done. it is UNI
derstood. will be by the railroad.
These piles will be driven to form a
foundation for supports for the tracks
while construction of the underpass
is in progress. and until the steel grid
ers can be placed as the permanent
supports.
Meantime. city authorities were
proceeding with the details of plans
for condemnation of property where
such a course will be necessary.
After the railroad finishes with its
portion of the underpass work. the
contractor who will guild the APP
proachee will take over the job. He
will construct the approaches from
the streets and do the paving and the
lowering of the streets. 1t is expected
that some six or eight months will be
required for the entire project.
The State Highway and Public
Works Commission has approved the
low bid of some $91 900 made by w.
A. Triplett. of Chester IS. c., and the
formal awarding of the job will de-
pend on the routine approval of the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads in
Washington, where the papers have
been sent for final endorsement. That
will require probably two or three
weeks, it is understood. The entire
cost of the project, including indem-
MITIGATION Of property owners by the
city, will be close to $150,000. Other
than the $4,000 to pay property own
ers. which the city will provide, the
funds will come from Works Progress
Administration grade crossing allot-
ments.

lean Tobacco Company, Niggett &
Myers Tobacco Company and r. j
Reynolds Tobacco Company for what
the study described as the marked
degree of separation of ownership
from control"
A warning that the nation is threat
ened with the loss of a large part of
it's Chinese tobacco market also was
contained in the study.
China is the second largest custom
er for American leaf tobacco, rank
ing behind Great Britain, and a large
part of the poorer grades of tobacco
grown in the Carolinas is sold fol-
Chinese consumption.
The study said native-grown tobac-
co was replacing the low grades. 1t
said Chinese production of flue-cured
tobacco has now approached China's
estimated domestic requirements OF
200,000,O0O pounds annually.
The study also brought out that to-
bacco production was increasing in
the Union of South Africa and South
Rhodesia and said use of these to-
baccos was xeing exploited within the
British Empire.
1t added, however, that the type OF
cigarettes popular in England re-
quires a large production of American
grown bright flue-cured on account OF
it's quality and color.

Spain May Be In
For Long Strife
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from Page OneO
SPAIN dating back to pre-Roman days.
These civilizations never have mixed.
Even their languages never have mix
cd.
The central provinces speak Spanish
with a aMooriSh admirture. The POr-
tuguese by the way, assert that theirs

sula. Northwestern Spain speaks Bas-
que. The eastern provinces speak
Catalan. They profess not to under
stand one another, they do. They
are hostile to ane another, anyway.
BAD CULTIVATION
The land has been ruined by bad
cultivation just as the dust bowls
have been ruined in the United
States.
Such land as remained worth while
was gobbled by the Grandees under
the monarchy. Ordinary farmers were
left to scratch at the surface of a
virtual desert. Urban labor, of course,
suffered from agriculture's prostra-
ton. 1t is delicate point to touch on,
but the churchs heavy exactions Kept
the nation down, and long ago Spain
was deprived of it's best commercial
and financial class by the expulsion
| of the Jews.
In generations long gone by 1t lost
| it's best blood by entrance INTO
! cclibate priesthood or by emigration
to the Americas, now lost to it. 1t is
| decadent and peculiar.
After the evaporation OF its colonlal
| greatness it has tried to maintain a
| semblance Of it at ruinous expense
| to the home folk. Obviously the eco
nomic situation has gravitated to the
impossible AS might be expected,
| Spanish sentiment has trended to the
| leftward, but not to the communlstlc.
| SPANISH LEFT
The Spanish leftwardist is an an
archist He wants no government, nor
RECOMMENDATION which his recent gov
ernments have been endeavorlng TO
give him.
There is a split then, between the
] leftwardists-the individualists and
the Communists.
The rightists are trying to take ad-
vantage of the split and re-estaollsh
the Bourbon regime. They maye make
it work.

COMMISSIONERS TO
ADOPT NEW BUDGET
Comes Up Monday for Con-
sideration; May Fix 1896
Tax Rate Then

A meeting Of the Vance Board of
County Commissioners is slated to be
held next Monday for consideration
of the county budget for 1867, and
pro- ably also for the adoption of the
budget and the fixing of the tax rate
for 1886 The meeting was to have
been held last Monday, but was de-
fcyrcd pending the completion of the
school budget which has now been
done
Indications are that there will be a
reduction in the levy for the year, as
compared with 1885, due to the re-
ccipts of $4,000 from the county
liquor store, and the prospect of ad-
ditional funds from that source dur
ing the year. Just how much the rate
will be cut is as yet problematical
The 1885 tax rate was $1O3 on the
500 valuation of property.

POSTAL lob WILL
COST OVER $4,000
Post Office To Be Moved
to Temporary Quarters
About Sept. l

Repairs and alterations to the old
Rose warehouse property on East
Montgomery street for the use of the
post office will cost approximately
$4,000, it was learned today. This will
condition the entire structure for use
of the post office temporarily while
the present quarters at the corner of
Carnett and Winder streets is being
remodeled and enlarged by about fifty
percent over it's present size.
Work has already started, and the
agreement Of the Henderson Grocery
Company, wholesalers, and owners of
the property, with the Treasury De-
partment was that the work would be
completed and the building ready for
occupancy by the post office not later
than 45 days from the time the con-
tract became effective. That would
put the date between September 1 and
10, and it is now anticipated at the
post office that the office will have
to be moved during that time
Postmaster J. r. league said today
he had no advices as to when the con-
tract would be let for the remodel
ing and enlargement of the post Of
flee. There was a general feeling,
however, that arrangements would be
made to permit the contractors to
start work by the time the transfer
is made to the temporary quarters.
The government lease is for a period
of a year.
The spur track of the railroad in
front Of the building will not inter-
fere with the use of the structure for
the post office, it was stated. The
spur track as far down as that is US
ed only during the tobacco season,
and shiftings occur only twice a day,
in the early morning and in the late
afternoon, as arule, it was explained.

SERVICE TONIGHT
TO END REVIVAL
Rev. Mr.. league breaches
on "Just Outside The
Kingdom" Last Night

In the Wednesday evening service
at South Henderson Baptist church
Rev. j. u. league spoke on "Just Out
side the Kingdom" using as a text,
Mark 1884, Thou art not far from
the Kingdom of God" The minister
said there are many good moral peo-
pie who say II don't do anything SO
bad and yet they are not Christians.
AS Jesus told the rich young ruler
they need to do just one other thing
accept Him as a Savior. Morality
will not save though it is big fac
tor in living a Christian life Cen
crosby will not save though it too is
a big factor in living the life of a
Christian. The whole category of vir-
lures usually thought of in connection
with Christian living will not save a
soul from the condemnation of the
judgement, thought they are a vital
part of every Christians life The on
ly way 10 lie saved is through belief
and faith in Jesus Christ as a Savior,
then when salvation has come in and
the life is regenerated and made a
new creature in Christ the other
things follow as a natural conse-
quence of that great transaction. The
words of Jesus: Seek we first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness and all these things shall be adj
ded unto you" Matt: 6:33, may we'll
be applied here.
Some of the things that are keep
ing people just outside of the king
dom are ingratitutde, disobedience,
greed, dissertation of the Sabbath, and
Iholesome relations with unwhole-
some associates. Many others could
be enumerated but if one would be
kept from them all let him follow
Paul's advice in Philippians b:8 Eli
nally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are lovely. whatsoever
things are of good report; if there he
any virtue, and if there be any praise
think on these things" If a thing is
questionable by all means avoid it for
Goo will not accompany us in places
conclusive to sin of any kind.
At the invitation given by the min
lister at the close of the sermon eight
people came forward accepting Christ
as their Savior and desiring to unite
with the church by baptism. A large
number of others who were Christians
but had failed to serve the Lord as
renew their covenant and make a new
start in service to the Master.
Thursday evenings service will con-
clude the series of special services I'M
