For Hottest OF Summer

the portion of the roads leading to
them was so dense and so sitting as
virtually to offset any relief that may
have been gained by bathing. The
lake at Balance Rock camp was per-
haps the favorite swimming place for
the day. Many went to the beaches, a
long distance away, but found the
heat persisting even there, and equal
ly oppressive going and coming.
The weather forecast today was
for scattered thundershowers during
the afternoon, and the weather man
was looked to to make good on his
promise of this type of relief.
At o'clock this afternoon the Their
mometer had climbed to 50 degrees,
the maximum for the day, and ap-
peared to be still rising at that time,
Mr.. Allen announced. He said, how
ever, there was a trace of breeze,
and that that was tending to retard
the ascent of the mercury. It was not
believed the days top would equal the
80 degrees of Saturday and Sunday.

START ERECTION
WHITE WAY POSTS
Seven at Underpass APP
proaches, Six at Other
intersections

Erection of standards for extern
sion of the city's white way system
to both approaches of the Church
Charles street underpass, and to other
intersections on cross streets further
uptown in the retail district, will get
under way this week, it was learned
today from d. l.. Cannon, manager of
the Carolina Power & Light Company,
which concern will do the work.
It was stated that four white way
standards will be erected on the Will
liam street side of the underpass,
three on the Garrett street side to
augment those already there, four at
William and Montgomery streets, and
two on Winder east of Garrett street.
Mr.. Cannon said the material had
been received here after long delays
in deliveries lty manufacturers, and
that construction crews would begin
the installation during the week. A
week or two will be all the. time nee
essary to complete the job, it was
thought.
The new white way work will tie
in with that placed on Garnett street
in 1884 in connection with the re-
pavement OF lndI CnoIouSIIdle' lle

TOBACCO SHOWING
SPEEDIER GROWTH
Hot Weather Has Brought Crop Out
Wonderfully i'm Last Ten Days
or Two Weeks

Tobacco in this and adjacent coun-
ties is showing speedier growth to-
ward maternity, and has made mark
ed progress in the past ten days or
two weeks, according to those who
have looked over the field and been
in touch with conditions.
The hot weather, and especially the
hot nights. have helped the crop. More
rain in the next few days will help
considerably however, though the to-
bacco, cotton and corn crops are not
especially suffering at this time.
Tobacco is a bit spotted and stands
are uneven due to the repeated plant
ings made necessary because of un-
favorable weather conditions at the
time of planting in the spring. But it
is believed that the outlook as a whole
is for a fairly good yield and good
quality in most instances.

WHITEHEAD GIVES
CHURCH FUNCTION
breaches at Union Service
at First Presbyterian
Sunday Night

The function and the lace of the
Christian Church in the world was
outlined by Rev. T. j. Whitehead, pas
tor of the Methodist Protestant
church in his sermon Sunday night at
the second of a series of summer Sun
day evening union services of fou"
Henderson churches The service was
at the First Presbyterian church.
Rev. Mr.. Whitehead preached on
the subject "The Living Church" It's
mission included a campaign of evan
gelism. which he said should never
cease, but be continuous part of the
church's work. Included also was a
program of social service, embracing
material aid and encouragement to
helpless and needy. Then it is sup
posed to foster and advance the spirit
ual side of human beings. He traced
the history of the Christian Church
from the time Jesus founded it, re-
called the struggle of the early Chris
tians, and bemoaned the fact that it
had lost some of it's mighty power. It
needs to get hack to it's former state
of evangelism and personal work to-
the minister.
A trio consisting of Miss Emma
Jones, r. ]. Jones and w. B. Harrison
sang "Praise Ye," by Verdi, accom-
panied by Mrs. j. B. Martin at the
organ LEAD Me Gently Home, Faith
err" was the anthem by the entire
choir.
The Scripture which formed the
basis of Rev. Mr.. Whitehead's sermon
was from Matthew 16: 1921.
This was the second of the summer
Sunday evening union services. Next
Sunday evening the service will be
in the First M. E. church, with the
sermon by Rev. A. S. Hale, pastor OF
the First Baptist church. The Pres
byterian, Baptist and Methodist Epis-
copal and Methodist Protestant chur
ches are joining in the services, which
run through August, with the pastors
of the four churches alternating ir
preaching.

Favorable Progress In Seal
Sale

Favorable progress was the report
Of the Christmas Seal chairmen in
the counties of Maryland for the first
two weeks of the annual Christmas
Seal Sale, according to William B.
Matthews, managing director of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
"The drive to raise funds for COM
batting tuberculosis in Maryland by
the sale of the little penny Christmas
Seals is progressing favorably", Mr..
Matthews said, land if the returns
for the seals continue to come in as
we'll for the duration of the sales suf-
flcient funds for maintaining the
anti-tuberculosis program in the
state should be obtained.
ut is the hope of the various coun-
ty chairmen that all those who still
retain their seals without having
paid for them, will soon send in their
remittances. Many people still have
seals, tucked away in desks or table
drawers, which if purchased, will put
thir respective counties over the
top.
THE greater part of the money
raised in each county is spent for
anti-tuberculosis work in the county
in which it is raised. To buy the seals
is to insure yourself and community
against this disease, disease so pre-
valent that throughout the United
States it takes one life in every eight
minutes.
''The free chest clinics held in
each county, health education work,
and the treatment of county child
rem at the Miracle House are among
the things made possible by the
Christmas Seals" Mr. Matthews con-
cluded.
The association plans to send fol-
low-up cards to those who have not
paid for their seals, and who still
retain them, after the Christmas
holidays in order to remind them to
send in either the money or the
seals. BY making returns before
Christmas, people can help by elimin-
ating the cost of sending these
notices.
