Balance Rock Dam
Menaced by Water
From Heavy Rains

Flood waters resulting from heavy
rains created menace for the dam
at the lake at Camp Balance Rock
early Sunday, according to those who
were at the camp on Sunday. So great
was the sluice of water that shot over
the top of the spillway, it was said,
that the force of it carried the water
far enough that a man could walk
underneath without being wet except
possibly for mists. The great mass OF
water was some inches over the top
of the spillway.
So far as could be learned, however,
no damage to the dam was actually
done. S. M. Crowder and Bill Bryan
spent the night at the camp Saturday
night and were present when the
great flood of water went through
he lake and over the dam. While the
evel of the water had dropped by
Sunday afternoon the lake was still
very muddy, it was said.

Announces Tobacco Sales

was stated that "our past weeks sales
have been immense and prices were
entirely satisfactory to sellers. No
price shown on the circular was un-
der ten cents, while the highest listed
was 70 cents, which was not bad for
those days.
Many of the buyers present were
described as representing "the largest
and wealthiest manufacturers in the
world. Our buyers live in town, so we
are not dependent upon transient
dealers to buy our big breaks"
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were mar
ried in 1883, two years before the
date of the circular. They lived in
Kittrell township their entire lives Mr.
Roberts died July Is, last. His widow
said they had a fine crop of tobacco
in 1885 and got a good price for it.
The Cooper Warehouse is still be-
ing operated on the Henderson mar
ket, and has been steadily through the
years since it's construction in 1872, or
66 years.

After celebrating all morning on

the board of county commissioners
early this afternoon decided not to

that they could not obtain this data

Mrs. Mollie Roberts, his widow, has
found an old circular issued in 1885
announcing the opening of tobacco
sales at Coopers Warehouse here. The
circular, large one, gave prices paid
on the first sales of the. season, and
was signed by the late D. Y. Cooper,
for nearly half century one of Hen
derson's leading citizens and business
men.
Equal justice to all and highest

as the motto with the further assur-
ance that "our prices cannot be sur
passed by any warehouse in North

EXCESSIVE RAINS
MAY HURT TOBACCO
Downpours During Week
End Repeatedly Damag-
ing Growing Crop

Excessive rainfall again is becom-
ing a menace to growing tobacco IN
this section, according to growers
who were here today. Heavy rains
during the weekend have been the
chief cause of new fears OF damage
from the heavy downpours.
At intervals during most OF last
week there were showers, but
drenching rain came Saturday after
noon and night, followed by heavy
drizzles a part of Saturday night and
during Sunday. From 6 p. m. Sat
urday to 6 p. m. Sunday the precipi-
tation was 1.16 inches, H. L. Allen,
official Weather Bureau observer
here, said today. 1t was the heaviest
24-hour rainfall of the month thus
far.
While the weekend rains have
aroused new fears by reason of the
fact they have come so steadily, the
total rainfall for the first % days OF
July has not been above the average
for the period. The rainfall in July
last year, for the entire month, was
Al inches, while the average for the
month over a period of years is 6.27
inches. Through noon today, July
rainfall has been Ala inches, accord
ing to a summation of the official fig
ures announced by Mr.. Allen.
Growers here are hoping that fore
casts for gradual cessation of the
persistent rain will be borne out in
the next few days. They are in the
midst of the harvesting of their crop.
and damage done at this time cannot
be overcome as fully as that resulting
from the heavy rains of June.

Motor Club Seeks
Full Elimination
Speed Traps Here

Efforts of the Carolina Motor Club
in eliminating speed traps" in order
that travellers to the Carolinas NAV
rot be victimiyed by "fee-grabbine
roadside courts" were highly praised
last week by American Automobile as
ISOLATION officials attending the South
eastern AAA club conference at Ashe-
vile, in listing these menaces as
stumbling blocks to travel develop
ment. Russell Singer, general man
ager of the A. A. A., estimated that
the II Southeastern States are now
receiving an annual volume of tour
list travel approximating $5OO,OOO,OO9
of which about $75,00O,O0O comes to
the Carolinas, according to Mr.. w. C.
Gates, manager of the Henderson Of
flee of the Carolina Motor Club.
"This tide of travel now swinging
southwark is evidence of the vaca-
ton opportunities offered and the sue
cess of the state and community pro-
motion programs" Mr.. Singer said.
But the real development has just
begun. Formal opening of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
less than a year away-completion of
the great Park-to-Park highway, and
the creation of new play places ami
making old ones accessible will swell
the all-year stream of vacationists to
the Southeast.
A secondary step in travel develop
ment is mapping of plans for retain
ing flow of travel year after year
This requires maximum attention to
the services and facilities offered Wis
itors. It requires overhauling of road
building programs to assure highways
to handle increased traffic. 1t re-
quires "a survey of traffic enforcement
agencies to see that visitors are not
victimized by fee grabbing roadside
courts. It requires the removal of
restrictions which hamper the free
flow of travel.
