PR|CEtOF TOBACCO
HOLDS FIRM HERE
8.
97,OO8 Pounds Sell Tues
day For Average Of
$21.13sPer Hundred

Tobacco prices held firm on the
Henderson market Tuesday, the days
offerings going for an average of
$21.13. one of the best prices in the
belt for the day
The sale was not as large as that
of Monday, however, when more than
100000 pounds were sold.~ Money paid
out Tuesday amounted to Sal, 644.41
for 1908 pounds of leaf.
This tonnage was brought in de-
spite the steady rain of Monday and
early Tuesday, and the days totals
would probably have been much lar
ger but for that.
Today saw a much larger break of
the golden weed, and prices were
understood to be holding firm, and
many farmers well pleased with the
price their crop brought on local
floors.
Better grades of leaf are locked for
from this time on, and the coming Of
colder weather is relied on to boost
prices, as lower temperatures makes
the tobacco show up better, and it
is really in better condition.
Heavier sales are also expected as
the season grows older.

DAN FITCH PRESENTS "a
FIRST PROFESSIONAL
JITTERBUG REVUE

Almost everywhere the world is do
ing "The Jitterbug," some folks one
way, some another. Dan Fitch IS
bringing his "Jitterbug Jubilees" to
the Stevenson theatre Sunday, Sept.
rs to show Henderson how "The Jit-
terbug" ought to be performed.
Dan Fitch went into the Jitterbug
country (the coastal regions of the
Carolinas) to find his dancers. It was
in this part of the South that such
famed dances as The Charleston, The
Blackbottom, and The Big Apple ORR
ginated and spread to all parts of the
world.
Besides the Jitterbug dancers, Dan
Fitchs show will contain several ex-
cellent vaudeville acts including the
wit of Happy Ray and the acrobatic
marvels of Clayton and Phillips. The
music for the show is played by an
excellent swing band of five musiA
cionS.

RA|NF ALL HERE IS J
ESQ INCHES TOTAL
Temperature Low for Period
Is 81 Degrees Reached
On Tuesday

Rainfall here during the protracted
precipitation early in the week
amounted to a total of 280 inches, it
was announced today by H. l.. Allen,
official Weather Bureau observer
here. The precipitation on Monday
was 1.1S inches and on Tuesday was
1.62 inches.
The minimum temperature on
Tuesday was 81 degrees, level that
would hardly have been noticed as it
was but for the rain and the damp
atmosphere. The maximum for the
day was only ten degrees above the
lowest point, indicating that the
change was very slight during the "a
hour period.
Ali of the rain had ceased today,
and there was a clear sky with
bright sun. The temperature still had
in it the zest of the fall season, how
ever, and the passing of the autumnal
equinox brought with it a brisk wind,
supposedly the outer fringe of the
hurricane that swept up the coast
from the West Indies, and which was
feared by shipping Of the North Caro-
Ina coast The wind was not strong
enough here to do any damage of any
kind. 1t was just strong enough to
blow hats off the head if they did not
fl: down snugly.

home of a sister, Mrs. E. D. May, on
South William street, here after be-

BRIDGE
IS GIVEN REPAIRS
Railroad Putting New Floor
ing Into Structure South
] of Station

An old landmark of Henderson that
has received very little attention or
thought for a long time is getting its
face lifted after 10 these many years.
1t is the overhead steel bridge that
rises at William street, just south OF
the Seaboard passenger station, goes
over the main line and spur tracks OF
the railroad, and then drops again on
the opposite ! side into an alley that
leads out to Garnett street between
two buildings, occupied on the one
side by the Carolina Power & Light
Company and on the other by the
county ABC store.
The bridge was built about quar-
ter of century ago as a convenience
to pedestrians in crossing the railroad
tracks from one side of the town to
the other. In earlier days it was 2
favorite passage for pedestrians. Since
the automobile so largely did away
with the need for human legs, the
bridge has not been SO widely used.
But there has been sufficient use OF
it to keep it intact.
Some months ago the railroad ask
ed permission of the Henderson City
Council ITO dismantlex the bridge and
remove it entirely. The city fathers
refused to- acquiesce, and the bridge
was left intact. The steps had be-
come so Indispensable and SO hazard
Gus that repairs were imperative If
the bridge was to remain open to the
public. So. a new stairway, floor is be-
ing put in now. The work is being
done by and at the expense of the
railroad The bridge is not being torn
away, as, some had wondered.

A Newspaper Yields Romance

A great deal of nonsense has been printed at one time or another about the romance of newspaper work. From the time of Richard Harding Davis down to the era of "The Front Page" the news paperman has been held up as chap who moves through an aura of romance slightly smudged and soiled aura, occasionally, but romance nonetheless At least 90 per cent of this is pure hokum. Yet there is romance in the business, as there is in all trades and callings; but there is nothing spectacular about it, and 1t is only rarely that the man in the street is able to get look at it. One of these rare occasions took place not long ago when the Pulitzer Prizes for the past year were awarded.
 The gold medal for disinterested and meritorious public service was awarded to the Bismark Tribune, in North Dakota; and because the thing which that news paper did to win the award is a striking example of the real romance of newspaper work, the tale is worth retelling here. Back in 1883 the farming region of vest ern North Dakota was in a bad way Drought and economic depression had re- duced whole areas to desperation About the only solution anyone could offer was suggestion that all hands stand by and wait for help from Washington
 It was here that the Bismark Tribune got busy. The late George D. Mann pub- fisher of the newspaper, had the notion that the farmers of this particular dust bowl could work their own way out of the mess if someone showed them how. He decided that his paper would do the showing. So long, unspectacular and laborious campaign was begun. First, newspaper stressed the value of irrigation. It agitated, campaigned and educated; and, after some three years, brought about the construction of some 200 irri- gation projects which helped turn sum- baked fields into green and fertile pro- ducers again
 But that was only part of it. There was campaign to restore submarginal lands to the range; a drive for the con- struction of small dams to conserve water; a shelter-belt program; course of edu- cation in scientific farming practices, and whole flock of lesser matters.
 As result of all of this, the area which looked done for few years ago is now getting back on it's feet again - and, which is important, getting there by it's own efforts, and not by help from above
 There are no picturesque reporters in this story, no hard-boiled editors no dauntless seekers after scoops. It is simply story of long, thankless campaign to make region better place to live in; as such, it is worth a dozen of the old blood-and-thunder, get-the-news-at-all- costs yarns.

bur L. Cross's recent visit would probably avail them nothing.
 The Telegram took occasion to point out that prior to the creation of Candle wood Lake the terrain was quite similar to that in the Saugauck Valley. No one can deny now but what the creation of the lake, not for domestic water consump- tion, but for electric power generation, has been an improvement. Another point. too, that has not been stressed heretofore, at least by the complainants, is that the proposed reservoir will necessitate re- moval of only six or seven homes, most of them semi-permanent or summer types.
 There are so many angles to this case that from a distance ones judgment is blurred by conflicting stories. But when the facts are brought out that the water company has owned much of the land in the valley that it plans to use for reservoir purposes and has been more than decent over long period of years Tn protecting the valley from devasta- tlon,. well, opinions change and people wonder what all the shouting is about

Back Up These!

According to highway map printed in an edition of the Christian Science Monitor this week Connecticut motorists are now driving over the western end of the Merritt Parkway. The map was designed to show how the new croSs-state parkway would provide easy access be- tween New York City and Boston. Much of the details of the planned route across this state have been made public and are nothing new to us. But it was news to note that we were using part of the Mer- ritt Parkway.
 Only few days ago we heralded the recent announcement by State Highway Commissioner William Cox that he hoped to have the first section of the parkway ready for use in July. This is some months behind schedule, to be sure, but that isn't the commissioners fault. He's just taken office and probably hasn't fully caught his second wind yet Nevertheless, it's something to read that up in Boston the papers have us riding along one piece of the route. However, we believe it was mechanical mistake purely.
 What the map portrayed was the sec- tion of the Hutchinson River Parkway leading up to the state line as available. From there up to Norwalk will probably be ready in another month or SO. From then on Connecticut motorists have hopes that short stretches will be thrown open as finished. That's the way to do it now, or else we'll have to believe it's all fairy tale after all.

Medical Helium

The rare gas helium, of which the United States seems to have monopoly, IS no longer mere curiosity or safe stuff to lnflate balloons. New and important uses are sure to be found for this gas. which has the unusual quality of being inert or non-inflammable, and therefore safe to use where hydrogen or illuminat- ing gas will not do. Shipments are being made lately to American hospitals, for treatment of asthma and other respira- tory diseases
 It is said to be mixed with oxygen, in fourt-to-one ratio, as a substitute for natural air, which is compound of oxv- gen and nitrogen. The helium serves as carrier for the oxygen, which is required to purify the blood in the lungs, and the mixture seems to work better than air because it is lighter It may be that helium can be used to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, in shipment or storage, as scientists have said nitrogen could be used, although no such claims seem to be made at present.

Municipal power plant ownership was subjected to discussion in New Britain this week, according to all reports. Mayor George J. Coyle and Charles L. Campbell, president Of the Connecticut Light and conference. The outcome of the session has not been made public But the mayor seems determined to go ahead with his plans to put New Britain in the class with other cities which have their own power plants. His recent trip to Washington was to see what he could do about getting PWA funds for such project. However, the way isn't quite as easy as all that. And no doubt the electric company off cials have explained to him that it might be better to do business with them for a while rather than start something that might fritter out year from now. How ever, it's New Britain's business and the rest of the state is actively interested in the outcome of the fight.

THE BANDA SITUATION (New York Herald-Tribune)

The world appears definitely to be giant banda conscious. What was the big news last week that made people talk? Not Spain. nor Hitler, nor the mysterious reorganization struggle in Washington. It was something as simple and as univer- sally touching as the death of aN strange little animal in the Brook field ZOO, in Chicago. The news of the passing of little Su-Lin. the baby giant banda which Mrs. Will liam H. Hardness, Jr., brought from the mountains of western China after almost incredible difficulties, was, we venture to say, something having a more poignant quality than any obituary printed in many day. The banda has been an almost legendary animal. Little Su-Lin, in person, looked somewhat improbable, which was part of her charm. She was something of show-off, which was as 1t should be, and, although the banda is not regarded by scien- tists as highly intelligent, Su-Lin undeniably had considerable cun- ming and winning amiability. It is too bad about Su-Lin, but there is the other banda, little Mei-Mei. also in the Brookfield zoo. And now comes word that Floyd Tangier Smith has captured four more giant pandas, three of them males, which is stirring news. It is said that this means that the bottom will fall out of the giant banda market, which sounds like nonsense. There can't be too many pandas.
