violent accidents of serious nature,
according to reports from law officers
While there were a few automobile
mishaps, no one was injured in any

Other than the Burnside" estate

and the occasion took rank with
Christmas day in the degree of gen.

Germs resumed normal operations, to-
day, however.
There was considerable exodus for
the beaches and for mountain resorts,
beginning on Saturday. The coming
of the holiday on Monday gave dou-
BILE holiday from business activities.
Many people were absent from their
homes here, although some who did
not go away had guests from else
where here with them.
Some who could not make it to the
beaches found bathing at the Balance

liking.

Wears of Setback in Start of
) Season Are Allayed by
Action of Tobac-
co Meeting
WEEK EARLIER HERE
THAN LAST SEASON
Plans To Be Speeded Up for
Advertising Program To
Attract Farmers Leaf To
Local Market; To Have
Same Warehousing Facili-
ties for Season

There was general satisfaction here
with the dates assigned to the Middle
Belt for the start of the annual fall
selling season two months hence.
Fears that the belts opening would
be set back to that OF the Old Belt
of Piedmont North Carolina and
southern Virginia failed to materialize
at the convention of the Tobacco AS
ISOLATION of the United States, held
last week at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va, and which was attended by
w. B. Daniel, Jr., Henderson ware
houseman, and A. T. McNeny, presi-
dent, and G. A. Crews, secretary, of
the Henderson Tobacco Company.
The Middle Belt was assigned an
opening date for Tuesday, September
13, more than week earlier than was
had last year. But the market is still
about two and half weeks behind
Eastern North Carolina. Last year
this belt started three weeks behind
the east, and the gain of several days
was a partial victory in the request
for an earlier start than heretofore.
Marketing will begin first in the
Georgia belt on July %, less than four
weeks away, and will be followed by
the South Carolina-North Carolina
border belt week later on Thursday,
August f. Eastern North Carolina will
start it's season three weeks after
that, on Thursday, August 25. Follow
will be the Old Belt two weeks later,
on Tuesday, September 81.
Announcement of opening dates is
looked forward to with a great deal
of interest and some anxiety by the
flue-cured belts each year, and the
fixing of the starting time for season
sales is usually the signal for inten-
sive work in preparation for the open
ing, including ambitious advertising
programs by the several markets.
Henderson is just now organizing a
chamber of commerce, which will
have a full-time secretary the year
round, who will devote his entire
time, or as much of it as is necessary
to the duties of sales supervisor for
the tobacco market during the selling
season. That is an arrangement new
and untried here, but which both to-
bacco men and business agencies be-
lieve will serve the two functions ad-
mirably 1t has the approval of both
groups.
The $1,000 budget tentatively agreed
upon to be underwritten by the entire
community will allow for the main
tenance of the organization the entire
year and still provide fully for the
market advertising program, which
however, is to be carried on through
out the year instead of few weeks
Immediately preceding the marketing
season. @A
Henderson will go into the new
marketing year. with the same ware
house facilities it had last year, which
was nine warehouses There will again
be two sets of buyers for double sales
And, despite the prospects for q
smaller crop, both because of croI
control reductions and curtailment re-
sulting from heavy rains and hail in
the past few weeks, the campaign tc
build the market to still larger pro-
portions will be equally as vigorous
and probably more so, than ever be
fore.

in the election of Saturday, and there

Receipts of the Henderson post Of

the entire year, the office will have
another record to report after Deem

exceed $4,000. With prospects for a
business upturn considered bright, it
is believed that the record can be
held or bettered.
Receipts of the post office in any
community usually are regarded as
business barometer, though it is prob
ably true that most concerns here,
along with those elsewhere, have not
had as good a volume and probably
less net earnings than for the first
half of 1887. The steady gains here
are ascribed in some quarters to an
increase in the number of business
