VOTE ON
COURT PROPOSITION
American Bars Question
naire Received by Local
Attorneys

Lawyers of Henderson, along with
their brethren of the legal fraternity
throughout the country, have .receiv-
ed questionnaires from the American
Bar Association in a poll on the court
reorganization proposal of President
Roosevelt. Just how the lawyers here
are voting in their replies has not
been learned.
The national association has already
polled its membership on the ques-
ton, with overwhelming opposition
to the proposal. The association is
now engaged in making a poll of at
torneys in general who are not mem
bers.
Attorneys here are divided on the
question, as they are virtually every
where else, although there is no know
ledge of any precise percentage for or
against among the local fraternity
At recent meeting suggestion was
made that the local bar vote on the
judiciary proposal, but no such vote
was had, some taking the view that
1t was a matter for individuals rath-
er than the bar as a separate unit.
One opinion has been advanced that
the local lawyers would divide very
nearly evenly if they took a poll
among themselves.

ABOUT EXPOSITION
Will Determine Course
Probably at Next Meet
ing on April S

Decision will be reached by the To-
cal post of the American Legion prob
ably at it's next monthly meeting as
to whether or not the annual mer-
chants exposition and automobile
show will be held in Henderson this
spring.
Heretofore the big show has been
put on either the latter part of April
or early in May, and as a rule the de-
cisiOn has been made much earlier
than this and preparations are under
way.
The next regular monthly meeting
of the post will be held on Monday.
April 5. If it is decided then to pro-
coed with the exposition, the date will
probably be fixed for early in May
and preparations will then be pushed
rapidly toward conclusion. It is be-
lieved that months time would be
sufficient to complete the program.
Heretofore the Legion has operated
the exposition and has used the
money for it's relief work and other
activities. It has sizeable bank re-

the purpose of providing for a Legion

LITTLE CHANGE IN
COTTON CUMMINGS
Franklin Had 1868 And
Warren 1925 Bales
From 1886 Crop

Ginning figures for the 1886 crop of
cotton have just been announced by
the Bureau of the Census in the U. S.
Department of Commerce in Wash
ington, with comparisons given for
the 1885 crop as we'll. The totals show
only slight changes in the production
in Warren and Franklin counties for
the two years. No figures are gwen
for Vance and Granville counties
1t is estimated that something like
1000 to 5000 bales of cotton were pro-
duced in Vance county in 1886. The
amount is so light in Granville that
figures do not appear, and they are
not shown for Vance because of the
fact that there are only two gins re-
porting.
In 1895 Warren county produced 12.-
215 bales, as compared with II 375
bales in 1885, while Franklin county
is shown to have ginned 1O,638 bales
In 1886 and 1914 bales if 10 5. war
rem county's totals declined in 1886
and Franklins increased slightly.
For the State as a whole the final
figures for the crop are gwen as
'.8,1O9 bales for 1886 and 579,313 bales
for 1885, an increase last year of near
~ 1900 bales, which is very slight,
amounting to little-more than three
percent.
