South Henderson, and their accom-
PIANIST gave a vocal number that clio
tied highest praise from those in the
audience.
j. c.. Kittrell, teacher of the Bap-
fist class, and prominent Henderson
attorney, introduced the governor as
North Cardinals outstanding Chris
tan, Sunday school and church gov
ernor, declaring these attributes were
far and away greater than any of
the other high virtues in which he
excells.
Following the governors address,
the congregation sang II Love To Tell
the Story" and the benediction was
by DR.. D. T. Smithwick of LOuisburg.
In addition to the men of the sew
eral classes, a great gathering of chill
dren occupied the balcony of the main
auditorium, and the Sunday school
rooms and auditorium were thrown
open for a large group of ladies of
the church.
The governor said, on arising, that
he had enjoyed every minute of the
service. He said he could not sing, re-
calling that his wife had often told
him he did not know he could not
sing, so now he does not even try.
Following the service, the governor
was greeted by scores of those in the
audience and others. Outside, just be-
fore he was to leave to return to Ra-
leigh, a group of small children de-
scended upon him for autographs and
he very graciously obliged them.
The governor was accompanied to
Henderson by C. S. Wester, Hender-
son man now connected with the State
ABC 'ooard, who also returned to the
State capital with the executive.

SALES SHOW NEED
FOR MORE BUYERS
Market Clicked for Several
Days; Offerings Today
Unusually Large

Sales on the Henderson tobacco
market for the past several days have
demonstrated anew the great need
for additional buyers on the local mar
ket, in that sales have been blocked
and warehouses choked and longest
ed with the offerings of the farmers
After the biggest week probably in
the markets history, there was no
hope of clearing warehouse floors to-
dav.
r. w. Mcfarland, sales supervisor,
said the days offerings were much
more than could be possibly sold dur
ing the day.
The supervisor declared prices were
holding firmly, however, and predict
ed the days average would be better
than that of last Friday.

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with CreomulSion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take chance with any remedy less
potent than CreomulSion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inf1amed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Circumcision.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is CreomulSion, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv)
