Nation Headed for New
Prosperity Peak, Asserts
Sears, Roebuck Founder
Danish Fear, Halt Spirit of
Speculation, Advises
Col. A. C. Roebuck.
BY FREDERICK G. MATsoN


History shows that each economic
depression is followed by period of
prosperity, according to Col. A. G.
Roebuck, cofounder so years ago of
Sears, Roebuck g. Co.
Col. .Roebuck today was bound
westward after spending the week
end in Indianapolis visiting the local
branch of the nation wide mail order
and department store house.
Col. Roebuck, Hoosier, born in
Lafayette, is a confirmed optimist.
Gay, sprightly and active despite
his 10 odd years, he feels the future
of American business and industry
is secure, in spite of the dark days
of the last six years and the war
clouds that hover over Europe.
Experienced Other Depressions
1--WE have had depressions before"
he said. Il have been through quite
few of them, myself. And we prob
ably will have a few more, but I
leel COIlllucIlG JIidO we III hlllCl I'D
will come out on top"
"The United States, during the
1870 years ended in 1890, has expe-
rienced Is major depressions," the
colonel continued. In the last rs
years these slumps in business have
occurred once in about every nine
years"
But here is the catch. History
shows that during each depression
the belief has prevailed that OPP
portunity was a thing of the past.
Following each depression, however,
we have enjoyed greater period
of prosperity than before"
Fears Speculative Trend
Col. Roebucks chief concern about
the next few months is the appar-
ent trend toward excessive specu-
lation in the market.
If we can stop the speculative
ambition, the greatest danger of an
other orgy resembling 1929 will be
eliminated" he declared.
The so-called evils of technology
cal unemployment were dismissed

In 6 Months

Figure Slig h t | y
Above $7,14O First
Half 1885; No Fires
During June

A total fire loss of $3.50 was sus-
tanned by Henderson during the first
half of 1886, Fire Chief E. T. Shep-
herds records indicated today, the
figure comparing with $7,14O in the
corresponding period of 1885. For the
present year so far there were 80
calls to the firemen, and 25 actual
fires. In the first half of 1885 there
were exactly the same number of
alarms-39-and % actual fires, three
less than this year.
The two corresponding periods were
similar in that the only month in
either period when there were no
fires at all of a damaging nature was
June.
This June there were six calls and
six fires, but all so insignificant that
no damage was entered. Two of them
were ignition of films at the Vance
theatre, two were motors, one in a
store and the other in a residence,
and one each an automobile, a roof
blaze and a grass fire.

Election
VOTERS ARE URGED
TO GO TO THE POLL
Many Absentee Ballots To
Be Cast, But Chairman
Gholson Says Not as Many
AS He Thought at One
Time; Polls Open at Sun
rise, Close at Sunset

Ballots for use in the run-off Dem
ocratic primary of next Saturday have
been distributed to poll holders in all
of the 10 precincts of Vance county
and all was in readiness today for the
voting. with the exception of the set
ting up of the booths.
A large number of absentee ballots
have been applied for, indicating the
intention of many citizens to be out
of the city on election day, which falls
on the Fourth Of July, which will be
observed as holiday by many groups
In Henderson, however retail bust
ness houses will postpone their holt
day until Monday, which may have
a tendency to keep many people at
home for the day and result in a
heavier vote than at first was anti
,ipated.
At est. however. the turnout is not
expected to be anything like as large
as on the day of the first primary,
June &.
Only one county contest is at issue
in the election. that for coroner, in
which six men were running on June
6. Asa +. Paschall was high man, and
T. r. Southerland runner-up, called
for a second primary. There are three
Statewide contests, in which Clyde r.
Hoey and DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald are
running for governor; W. p. Horton
and Paul Grady contrasting for lieute-
nant governor, and Stacey w. Wade
and Thad Eure for secretary of state.
Polls will open at sunrise and close
at sunset the same procedure as in
the first primary election. There are
fewer contests and only two rivals in
each, and it is thought that the votes
will be counted and the results known
much more quickly this time.

This payment is in continuation of

In a letter accompanying the checks

BUSINESS MEN TO
PLAN FOR MARKET
Meeting Will Be Held Short
ly To Discuss Raising
Funds

A meeting in the next few days is
expected to be held by business men
of Henderson to lay plans for them
cooperation in the movement for pro-
motion Of the Henderson tobacco
market for the coming season. No
date as yet has been named, but it is
expected to be in the very near future
so that the program can be gotten
under way at once.
The Henderson Tobacco Board of
Trade has already acted in the choice
of a sales supervisor for the coming
season, and has reelected j. r. NC
Duffie, who served acceptably in that
work last year.
Last year the business men and the
tobacco warehouses together raised a
fund around $4,000 to promote the
market, and ran seasons sales up
from 15OOO,OOO to 25,OOOOOO, in round
figures, an increase of IS percent.
Early indications of an increased
crop this year over last year have
been modified with the certain re-
auctions that will result from the pro-
longed dry spell during the spring
period. Generous rains of the past
few weeks have offset that condition
to some extent, but the crop is al
ready so late that there will be little
likelihood of the yield being more
than around Is to 80 percent of the
1885 crop, it is believed.
Stands are irregular, and nearly all
farms are behind with the work and
growers have been faced with the ad-
ded anxiety of rapid grOWthS of grass
since the rains came.

T0FK DATEF0R
TOBACCO OPENING
Tobacco Association Gath
ers at Hot Springs For
Its Meeting

Tobacco men in this section are
awaiting the action of the Tobacco
Association of the United States at it's
annual convention opening at Hot
Springs, Va tomorrow to learn the
dates for the opening of the tobacco
auction selling season in the several
belts of the Southern States 1t will
be the Seth annual convention of the
association, of which w. T. Clark,
of Wilson, is the president.
The first belt to get under way will
be that in Georgia, which is expected
to be the last week in July, probably
about July %, according to advance
information.
Crop conditions are showing some
improvement in the Middle and Old
Belts following the recent generous
rains. and the yield is estimated at
around rs to 80 percent of last years
figures, according to observers. In
Eastern North Carolina the product
ion has been estimated at slightly less
than these figures, due to the pro-
longed drought during the spring sea-
son.
The association is expected to dis
cuss conditions in the growinb belts,
and also to make stronp representa-
tons to the Federal government for
it's policy of levying additional duty
on imported German goods, which it
is feared may be followed by German
reprisals in super-tax on American
tobacco, virtually destroying the to-
bacco export business from the United
States to that country
Few material changes in the open
ing dates are looked for in the vari-
Gus belts, and those that may be made
will be guided, it is thought, largely
by crop conditions.
