 Had he received response of five no trump he would have bid seven spades. The foru no trump response warned South that the op- ponents had an ace, but informed him that a small slam was lay down.
 Vests opening lead was a trump to reduce dummy's ruffing power, but South had trumps enough in the dummy. He won the trick in his own hand and cashed the ace of clubs. A club was ruffed in dummy, and the ace of hearts was cashed.
 Then hearts and clubs were cross-rufFed until the king of clubs dropped. South then conceded the ace of diamonds, drew the last trump and cashed his thirteenth club.

This is the eighth of series of articles dealing with changes mi the Culbertson System, as aIi- nOunced in Ely Culberts0n's latest book, "The Gold Book of Bidding and Play"
 A player seldom holds more than one ace when his pratner holds 8 hand strong enough to warrant a slam try. But when he is fortunate enough to hold two, or even three, aces, he may show hir exact holding by no trump response to an asking bid.
 With the ace of the asked suit and another ace, the response IS four no trump. The same bid is ad-- missible with two outside aces and the king Cor singleton) in the asked suit. With third ace, in each case, the response is five no trump.

OUTLOOK IMPROVES
FOR TOBACCO CROP
Rains Adequate for Season
al Growth; Crop To Be
About Fourth Less

Thanks to continued generous rains
in just the right proportion, the to-
bacco crop in this section of the Mid
die Belt is showing considerable inn
provement over conditions that pre-
vailed a month ago. While there is nc
chance for the production that at one
time appeared probable, due to the
prolonged dry season in the spring
growing fields are showing signs OF
sharp recovery from the unfavorable
weather.
Tobacco men who have travelled
through portions of this and other
ern Carolina and the South Carolina
regions, say the crop outlook here
abouts is better than they have seen
elsewhere.
In spite of these favorable turns IN
the weather, the crop is too late to
make complete recovery, and esti
mates of the years production range
around rs to 80 percent of last years
totals, or from 20 to 25 percent less
than in 1885.
One tobacco man said he would not
lte surprised to see prices mount tc
near the 1884 levels. The crop sold or
the Henderson market in 1884 averag
ed a fraction under 80 cents for the
season. More conservative opinion
however, is for much lower price
than that. Some estimates stop at q
or % cents and others at around q
cents per pound.
Because Of the prospect for much
shorter crop than at first appeared
probable Independent buyers are I'm
derstood to have made heavy sales Of
their stocks lately to domestic manu-
facturers and to foreign interests. Il
is known that stocks on hand are
sharply reduced from levels that OBJ
tanned several months ago.

TOBACCO OPENING
DATES SATISFYING
About in Line With What
Had Been Expected;
Plans Go Ahead

Opening dates for Middle Belt to-
bacco markets, including Henderson,
as fixed by the Tobacco Association
of the United States at it's annual
convention in Hot Springs, Va, are
about in line with what had been an
ticipated here. The date of Tuesday,
September %, for the Middle Belt, is
comparatively the same date as last
year.
The convention was attended by A.
T. McNeny, president of the Hender-
son Tobacco Company, as the only
representative of the tobacco indus
try in this city, so far as has been
learned. The meeting ended with
the annual banquet last night.
With the selection of the opening
dates out of the way, and a definite
time now known for the start of the
season, preparations for the coming
season are being mapped out accord
ingly. Shortly a campaign will be
launched among the business people
of the community for funds with
which to promote the interests of the
local market.
Last year some $4,000 was raised for
that purpose, and the market sold
approximately IS percent more to-
bacco than in 1884, rising from Is
million pounds in 1884 to 25,OOO,OOO in
round figures. About the same
amount of money will be sought the
coming season for promotion work.
j. r. McDuffie, who was in charge
of the program as sales supervisor,
has been reelected to that post for
the cortng season and will again be
in charge.
The local market, which opens three
weeks after the Eastern North Caro-
lima belt, will have the greatest faci-
lities in it's history for handling auc-
ton sales for the farmers, in that
a new warehouse is now being erect
ed and one other is being greatly en-
larged. There will be 81 xhOuses.
with the greatest floor space in the
history of the market.

SOME THRILLING
PHOTOS PRINTED
Dispatches State Farmer
Section Next Wednesday
Very Unusual

Defying death high in the clouds
and in a ferocious lions den are only
two of the remarkable photographs
reproduced in the all-rotogravure
State Farmer Section next week of
the Henderson Daily Dispatch.
Both pictures are featured on page
one of this newspapers agricultural
magazine supplement. In one, Clyde
Beatty, tries out new and ferocious
lion for his act with the Cole Bros.
circus. The photograph is particularly
unusual and daring, in that it was
made, far from the circus crowds, in
the training arena of the big show.
At the moment the cameraman snap
ped the picture, Beatty's life was
truly in danger.
The photograph shows clearly the
King of the Beasts defiance of mere
man armed with a chair and a whip.
(Armed attendants, however were out
side the cage) So perfectly has roto-
gravure reproduced the photograph
that the animals jaws are shown wide
open and a gigantic paw is raised,
ready to strike the animal trainer
The flying picture, made by the
Signal Corps Pictorial Service, of the
U. S. Army shows Air Corps planes
flying in a most difficult formation.
A group of So planes forms the let
ters USA, thousands of feet in the air
above Randolph Field, Texas.
Both pictures are certain to thrill
every reader of the Daily Dispatch's
July State Farmer Section. Watch FOR
them!
