derson merchant, was painfully in
jured Friday in South Carolina when
his automobile and one driven by a

painfully hurt, and a Negro driver
with Mr.. WeSter suffered bruises and
shock. Mr.. Wester had a number Of
decorations and bruises but was able
to be back at his store today.
Mr.. Wester and the colored man
with him were on their way home
from Columbia, S. c., where he had
been on business. He said he saw the
other car approaching on the wrong
side of the highway, repeatedly blew
the horn, but kept on his side, think
ing the driver of the other car would
revert to his own side of the highway,
but which he did not do, and crashed
head-on into the Henderson mans
machine. Medical attention was given,
sufficient repairs were made to the
car to permit coming on to Henedson
and Mr.. W1ester and the driver ar
rived here late in the day.

Sales were surprisingly heavy on
the Henderson tobacco market the
past week, first since operations were
resumed after a months suspension
over the Christmas-New Year holt
DAYS. And prices held firm, and aver
ages shot to figures we'll above those
prevailing just before the holiday sus-
pension.
The market opened on Tuesday and
operated only four days for the week.
A total of 1,024,264 pounds was sold
for $212, 1906, or an average or $2O.H
per hundred pounds. This brought
season sales to POSTS, 100 pounds for
S5,129, 03896 at an average of $248O
per hundred.
But for the generous offerings OF
very inferior types of tobacco, the
average would have been half as high
again as it was, tobacco men thought
Grade for grade, it appeared that
prices were really above those before
the holidays, and medium types of
leaf were especially in brisk demand
There was much damaged tobacco on
the warehouse floors, and this pulled
down the average.
Growers had prepared large guam
titles of their leaf for sale during the
holiday period and they brought it to
market in large quantities. Sales were
blocked on opening day, and containu-
cd heavy throughout the week. The
opening day average was $22.16 per
hundred, and Thursdays figure was
almost as high, at $2139. On Wednes-
day the price was $19.40 and on Fri
day was $1977 per hundred pounds.
Actual sales on Tuesday, the first day.
were 335,3Oo pounds, and on Tuesday
aggregated 264,852, with 1877 1896
pounds on Thursday and 226,6S6 on
Friday.
While it had been thought that the
market would operate only two weeks
after the holidays, there was every in
dication today that the season would
continue into early February. Definite
closing dates have not been agreed
upon by the Middle Belt markets, but
Henderson, Durham and Oxford,
major markets of the area, will all
close simultaneously. 1t is expected
the Henderson market will sell
around one million pounds more, and

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO MRS. STANTON
Wreath Placed in Memory
of Pioneer by Her Great
Granddaughter.

On the Capitol crypt Of the three
pioneers in the movement for equal
rights for women in this country, a
wreath lies today, tribute to the
memory of one of the three from
l7-year-old great-granddaught who
is following the path blazed by her
ancestor.
The girl is Miss Rhoda Stanton
Barney. The statue of her great
grandmother, Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton, stands above the crypt by those
of Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia
Mott, who fought with her in the
suffrage battles of the middle 10th
century.
Friday was the 1924 anniversary
OF the birth of Mrs. Stanton. Miss
Barney was invited to Washington to
lay the wreath on the crypt by the
National Womans Party.
Miss Barney is in her first year at
the Architectural School at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. She can
point to family precedent besides
those set by her great-grandmother
for following a career normally re-
served for men. Her mother, Mrs.
Nora Stanton Barney. was the first
woman to graduate from the Engi-
neering School at Cornell Univer-
sity and is now an architect in
New York City. Her grandmother.
Harriet Stanton Blatch, a graduate
of VaSsar, founded the Womans Po-
utical Union in New York State.
To her great-gfandmother and to
Mrs. Mott, a Quakeress, goes the credit
for opening the fight for women's
rights in this country. Bitterly op-
posed to slavery, Mrs. Stanton and
Mrs. Mott sailed for London in 1840
as delegates to the World Anti-Slavery
Congress. There they received a well
come which brought the question of
freedom closer to home.
The congress fatty refused to accept
their credentials, insisting that "the
presence of females would make the
Evening star., 1937-11-14

cause of human freedom ridiculous. +"
Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Mott retired to
the woman's gallery where they were
shortly joined by William Lloyd Gar
rison, the famous abolitionist, who re-
fused to present his credentials when
he learned of their treatment.
Their feeling of injustice from this
experience eliminated in the Seneca
Falls convention. Meeting with other
like-minded women they drew ZIP q
list of resolutions called the 'declaTa-
ton of sentiments" modelled after the
Declaration of independence.
1t was Mrs. Stanton who insisted on
the inclusion of woman's suffrage in
their platform. ~

Human Side of eNeWs
By Edwin C.. Hill

process Of preserving wines and
beerS-it has been written that
'he was not a doctor, yet he revo-
lutionized the industry of the
world"
PaSteur is the beloved scientist.
Admiration for the character Of
the man is as deep as the admira-
ton of his work. Born in poverty
in 1922, he was the son of a Serg-
eantmajor of Bonaparte's army
who had taken to the life of a
tanner, after Waterloo.
Mrs. r. L. Devonshire'S transla-
ton of Rene Vallery-Radat's Life
Of PaSteur" gives us the picture of
the remarkable beauty of charac-
ter which went hand in glove with
the mans unparalleled scientific
achievement.
Modest, tender-hearted, a tire
less worker, he forgot himself en-
tirely in his intense labor for
humanity, and he never benefited
pecuniarily from his work. In the
book there is the letter he wrote
to the young lady who was to be
his bride and wife for almost so
years:
"Time will show that below
my cold, shy and unpleasing
exterior, there is a heart full OF
affection for you"
Time proved it, as it was to prove
that under that shy exterior there
was heart devoted entirely to his
country and his fellow-men.
There was man living in New
Jersey at least up until a few years
ago, one w. T. Lane, a man in his
sixties, who was one of the first
four American children to be in
oculated against rabies by PaSteur
in Paris. Mr.. Lane told his story
at the dedication of the Pasteur
monument in Chicago.
"Tt happened that I was a
messenger boy making my rounds
back in December, 1885, in New
ark, when a mad dog bit me.
Then the dog bit big Patsy JO-
seph Reynolds, Eddie Ryan and
Austin Fitzgerald, who were on
their way to school. The mad
dog finally was killed with an
axe.
Everybody thought we were
going to die because hydrOphO-
bia killed in every case. DR..
O'GOrman, a Newark physician,
had heard of PaSteur's wonder
full work and began collecting
money to send US to Europe. We
sailed on December 9, 1885,
aboard the S. S. Canada, &C.
cOmpanied by Eddie Ryan's
mother and DIR. Frank Billings"
Mr.. Lane told of their arrival
in Paris and being taken before
a pleasant, smiling little man in
a skull cap"

tinue0, "by the hypodernic
