COUNTY Weed
MEN TO Vote
Ballot Tomorrow at Office
of Agent as to Burley
Marketing Quota

Henderson county hurley to-
bacco growers will participate in
a referendum to determine wheth-
er a marketing quota will be APP
piled to hurley tobacco on Satur-
day. -.
Voting in the referendum will
take place at the county farm
agents office on Saturday between
the hours of 9 a. m. and 7 p. m.
Notices of the referendum have
been mailed to most hurley pro-
ducers, but all are urged to vote
whether they have received notices
or not.
If more than one-third of the
hurley producers in all states vot-
ing in the referendum vote against
the quota it will not go into effect,
The 1888 hurley marketing
quota is $50 million pounds. This
quota will be divided among states
on the basis of marketing, plus di-
version under the AAA program
during the past five years, and ad-
justments for abnormal weather
conditions and plant bed diseases,
and for trends in production.
The state allotment will be d.
vided among farms on the same
basis.
The 1897 hurley crop was 4O3
million pounds, the second largest
on record. The estimated total do
mestic consumption and exports
of hurley for the current market
ing year is $50 million pounds.
There are approximately SO bur-
lev producers in Henderson coun-
ty, and all are allowed to vote in
the referendum regardless of the
amount of tobacco produced.

SENATE HEADS
push REVISED
TAX MEASURE
Bill Is Pressed as One OF
Paths Toward Business
Recovery

WASHINGTON, April s .(UP(
Senate leaders rushed drastical-
" revised tax bill toward final
approval today in an effort to
hasten business recovery.
Chairman Pat Harrison d.,
Miss.), of the senate finance com
mittce, and Majority Leader Al
ben w. Barley 3D., KY, also
a member of the committee, said
that action would be completed
today.
Moving with an unprecedented
speed, the senate eliminated the
undistributed profits tax and mod
flied the capital gains and losses
tax yesterday, leaving only three
major proposals to be considered
today.
There was virtually no resist
ance to finance committee revl-
sions of the house-approved tax
bill. Even Barkley protested only
feebly the repeal Of the profits
tax. But his record of diSapproval
was seen as the forerunner Of a
bitter fight on the issue in con-
ference between the house and
senate. The house tax bill retain
ed a so-called skeleton undistrib-
uted profits tax, but the senate
rejected the entire principle of a
profits tax without record vote
The senate's quick work was
praised by Harrison, who has de-
scribed his committees revisions
as moves to aid business.
"The remarkable way in which
the senate speedcd up considcra-
ton of the tax BILL" he said, was
the result Of the realization that
the sentiment of the country Is
behind this bill"

JAP DRIVE IS
STOPPED COLD
BY CHINESE
One of Largest Chinese
Armies Ever Assembled
Is in Field
JAPAN'S INVASION
ENTERS 10TH MONTH

SHANGHAI. April 8.-(UP)-
The fourth phase of ,Iapan's CAM
paign in China appeared to have
been stopped short today as the
war entered its 10th month.
Reports from the front in Shan
tung province indicated that one
of the largest Chinese armies ever
assembled had definitely halted
the japanese driving against the
Chinese "Maginot line' hoping to
reach Hankow, the provisional cap
ital in Hupeh province.
The drive was intended to be
the fourth phase Of the japanese
campaign to dominate all China.
The first started on July 8 when
Japanese guards and Chinese
troops of the goth army FLASHED
at Peiping as the Chinese opened
fire on Japanese night maneuvers.
The following day the japanese
bombarded Lukuochiao and Peip-
ing was cut off from the outside
world. Then followed the Japa-
ncse North China campaign and
the battles for Shanghai and Nan
king. .-.........- .
Some Chinese hailed recent Sue
cesses in Shantung province as
the turning point of the war. For
weeks the japanese drive on
Hankow has been halted at Talrh-
chwang, a town on a branch line
Of the Tientsin-Pukow railroad IN
Shantung province.
CLAIM COMPLETE
OCCUPATION =
Latest Chinese reports asserted
that a third counter-Cffensive had
resulted in complete Chinese &C
cupation, but the japanese claimed
that the defenders held only the
southwest corner of the town.
There were other indications
that the Chinese had turned from
defensive to offensive tactics. Mill.
tary reports from Hankow said
that strong Chinese forces were
encircling Tsinan, the capital OF
Shantung province, and that the
lines forming this trap were with
in 20 miles of the city at most
points.
A rcjuvenated Chinese air force
with modern planes and equip
ment played a big role in the Chi
nese counter-offensiVe. Hankow
authorities said that GO air raids
had been carried out this week;
Yesterday, leaflets were dropped
on numerous towns and villages
along the Tientsin-Pukow railroad
warning that the Chinese intended
large scale bombings soon.
While the japanese drive from
the north was halted, Chinese re-
ports said that 10000 japanese
troops we're marching toward W.
hu, so miles up the YangtSe river
from Marking, possibly with lnten-
ton of driving on central Cnina
from the south.

BIG GAIN IN
VOCATIONAL
CLASSESSEEN
Even More Interest Dis.
played Last Night Then
at Inaugural Session

The vocational school last night,
the second of a series of ten to
be held at the high school. went
over with a bang with an enroll
ment larger than that of last
week.
Supt. +. NJ. Waters said the en-
rollment last night exceeded that
of week ago by 25 to 30 pupils.
These gains were practically all
in the class of r. J. Jackson on
craftsmanship and merchandising
and that on practical psychology
by Dr.. F. w. Sumner.
Supt. Waters said there were a
few drop-outs, the best he could
tell from casual examination
of the records but that the in
crease in new pupils more than
took care of the losses, giving an
attendance last night in the neigh
borhood of 165 in all FIVE classes.
Attention was called to the fact
that the classes are open to all
persons interested, whether en-
ployes, employers or others, but
that those hereafter enrolling
should bear in mind that the
foundation for the classes had al
ready been laid and that longer
delay might make the work more
difficult for those who did not
take advantage of the first class
es.
The school operates through
two, one-hour classes periods
from 1880 TO $3.50 on Thursday
nights. Members are given oppor-
tunity to attend two classes with
different subjects. since the two
lesson periods of each teacher are
the same.

RUTHERFORDTON, April s.
In a dual hearing here this morn
ing, Judge w. C. Mccoy, of the

MARINES IN PHILIPPINES
SINCE MANILA BAY BATTLE

Bordering the shore of Manila
Bay is the little town of Cavite,
which overlooks the scene of one OF
the most stirring episodes in Amer
lean history. Almost before the
smoke of Admiral Dewey's guns
had rolled away, following his tri-
umph over the Spanish fleet at Ma
Mia Bay in May, 1898, U. S. Ma
rines were landed at Cavite, where
units of the Marine Corps have
been located ever since.
Many of the buildings in the lit
tic town of some 5000 inhabitants
are reminiscent of the Spanish oc-
upation. Some of them, like the
old arsenal and Fort San Felipe,
still retain their medieval appear
