Tobacco sales on the Henderson
market Monday amounted to 1885,, PA
pounds, and which brought $85 9O7. 76
for an average of $2229 per hundred
pounds, according to official statistics
announced today by J. r. McDuffie.

This brought the season sales to IT,
10000 pounds and the money to 81

ly $25.6O per hundred pounds
Sales today were lighter, as unfavor
able weather conditions served as a
drawback to growers in hauling in
their leaf.
No decision had been announced to-
day as to a date for the closing for
Christmas but it was certain the mar
ket would operate for two full weeks,
and possibly longer.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
START NEW TERMS
Will Be Given Oaths of Of
flee Next Monday, Ac-
cording to Law
ELECTIONS TO FOLLOW
Chairman Watkins Expected To Be
Chosen Again; To Name Back
Tax Collector, Attorney
and Auditor.
ELECTIONS TO FOLLOW

County officials on next Monday
will assume their duties for the COM
ing two-year term, after being sworn
in during the day by Clerk of Super
ior Court E. 0. Falllner.
Very few of them will be taking
over for the first time, as virtually
all of them were already in office
and merely were reelected at the No
vember balloting.
Much interest attaches to the
Board of County Commissioners.
Three members of that body start
new terms, w. p. Parrish and w.
w. Grissom for four years each after
having just completed four-year terms
and w. w. Currin for two years aft
er finishing a two-year term. Chair
man Samuel NJ Watkins and Com
missioner w. B. Parrot will hold
over for two more years, as neither
were up for reelection this wear.
The first business of the new board
will be the election of a chairman
to serve during the coming year.
Chairman Watkins has held the place
ever since he became a member of
the board two years ago, and all in
dications today were that he would be
reelected for another one-year term.
The board will also name the coun
ty attorney for the coming year, and
B. H. Perry is expected to be re-
elected. 1t is possible the county
auditor will also be chosen at this
time, and G.. w. Adams, who has had
the office since it was first created,
will in all likelihood be retained.
The board is contemplating Great
ing an office of back tax collector.
and this job may eventually become
a full-time county tax collector in
renewing the sheriff of the response
bility.

Has Ordinance Forbid

AS the result of resembling an or
dinance last week and permitting the
sale of fireworks in the city limits,
by the City Council, fireworks are
now being exploded every night in
various parts of the city as the Christ
mas season approaches.
While the Council voted to permit
the sale of fireworks, by repeating an
ordinance of many years standing,
the city still has an ordinance that
forbids the shooting of fireworks
within the city lymits. City author
tiles were not prepared today to ex-
plain how the two would be harmoniz-
ed or how or to what extent enforce
ment of the ruling against shooting
fireworks would be carried out.

Women Dislike British Ban on
 Consular Jobs
By OSCAR LETDTNG


 LONDON, Aug. 4.--The British government wants no Ruth Bryan Owens in it's foreign service.
 A woman may sit on the throne, or in the House of Commons or in the Cabinet-but diplomatic and consular careers are to remain clos ed to her.
 The time has not yet arrived . the government has announced, when women could be employed either in the consular service or in the diplomatic service with advan- tage to the State or with profit to the women" N.
 This decision was announced af- ter the question of admitting wo- men had been surveyed by a gov ernment committee headed by Sir Claud Schustter. et
 Well-known women were quick to express their dissent with the gov ernment's announcement
 American-born Lady Astor said: The old diplomacy has failed as the chaotic state of the world tes- tifies. The very desperation of civ ilization's plight should be suffic- tent for us to insist that these pet- ty barriers of sex be swept away to give place to the larger and far more vital consideration of the best brains for the job, wherever they may be found.n
 In most foreign countries wo- men are admitted to these services now,1 said Miss Marjorie Green, secretary of the National Council for Equal Citizenship 'I am afraid we are behind the times" M A Lady Snowden commented: T see no reason why all women should be excluded from these posts. It has not been suggested that the average woman should take up this work, but only ones eminently suited for it." a,.
 Work Too Dijficult
 ''In the very large majority of consular posts" the government an- nounced, officers have to deal with number of matters which it would be difficult for the average woman to handle. women would in prac- tice find themselves hampered and restricted :"
 At the same time diplomatic and consular careers were closed to British women, recruiting drive for more women police was started in London.
 With some 70 women in its serv- ice as police, Scotland Yard began to look for more unmarried women of character and keeness, posses sing good education and sound phy- sique."
 Their starting pay Is approximate ly $13.75 a week, with allowance for lodgings extra.

 And how is business at the mo- ment, with the revolt freshening every day, the death toll rising steadily, tempers fraying hatreds more bitter, violence more ex treme?
 Its bad, very bad he says Yesterday after a whole weeks work, I reached here with AT rifles, 10000 cartridges But the more the British capture, the more we snug gle, and the more we get through. ,
 The northern border of Palestine now is so well protected by British troops that Arab arms smuggling practically has ceased along the Jordan River line north of the Dead Sea. But east of the roasting valley of biblical fame, some 2,000 feet below sea level, there stretches a wide desert, most difficult to patrol but simple territory for Arabs and camels.
 Chickens and Eggs"
 It's not far to the Syrian border along this desert corridor, not far either to Iraq, where arms also are easy to procure. And coming into Palestine from the south, through more bleak desert and hill country, there are many places for gun run ners to slip through the British cordonS.
 The Arabs say they have brought in at least 10000 rifles and hun dreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition through these holes There seems plenty of truth to such 8 statement, for only week ago one caravan was caught in 8

JERUSALEM, Aug. 4.-This old Arab is a Mukhtar a sort of a mayor of a small Arab village south of Jerusalem. He's big, vil- lainous- looking codger until you get to know him. Then he smothers you with kindness, chokes you with endless cups of syrupy Turkish cof- fee, running your digestion.
 Then, if you h m m CT har d enough at him. and he really trusts you, he tells you about his special ty, gun running.
 Yes, sir, the old Mukhtar is about the cleverest Arab in Palestine at sneaking rifles and ammunition from Trans-Jordan, where rifles and ammunition are lawful, into Palestine, where they most cer- tainly are not, particularly since the revolt against Jewish immigra- tion and land buying started almost three months ago.
