There IN no automatic divorce.

ship did not sail for Europe for
two days. Twice he tried to call
q press conference 30 that he
could get the unhappy business
over with, but each time Roose-
welt insisted on postponing their
parley with the reporters. Quite
obviously-in fact, too obviously
Roosevelt wanted to create the
impression that he and Jim were
having a palsy-walsy time to-
gether.
Jim listened with not a smile
on his face while FDR told the
press representatives, in effect,
that there were no differences
between himself and the national
chairman. Those present got the
impression that these two old
Democratic friends are still far
apart. Said Jim before he sailed:
I'VE didn't talk anything Inn
portant. But we're going to get
together when / get back-bet-
ter then than now-and ONE OF
us Is going to talk"
The general impression that
FDR has abandoned thoughts Of
a third term has been shaken by
belated disclosure of the circum-
stances under which Senator
Burton X. Wheeler Of Montana
was urged month ago to hold
himself in readiness for second
place on ticket headed by the
president. Here is the inside
story:
New Dealer George w. Norris,
who sees the president quite
frequently, edged up to Wheeler,
an old Progressive pal, and said:
Burt. I wish that you and the
president would get together
In view Of his role in killing the
court packing bill. Wheeler ex-
pressed some surprise. Then
George added: "You would make
q fine No. man on a ticket
headed by the president in 1e4o.'
Norris insists that he made these
advances on his own initiative.
but a certain politically minded
cabinet member Is authority for
the statement that a Roosevelt
Wheeler ticket has been dis
cussed at private presidential
conferences.
The Garner people immediate
ly heard of these talks, and
moved TO counterfeit them. They
are dangling before Burt the
vice presidential nomination on
some sort of slate topped by an
snti-New Dealer. Garner or
somebody else. So far, being a
smart politico, the senator from
Montana has vouchsafed no
promises.
Senator Barkley's sleeptness

fact that Uncle Sans delega-

Lions Club
Head Voices
Greetings
BY HENRY p. YOUNG,
President, Henderson Lions Club.

To our farmer friends the Hen
derson Lions club extends most
cordial welcome and an earnest in
vitation to enjoy the many advan-
tages the markets, business estab-
~lshments, and citizens have pre-
pared for this season.
We assure you that visit to our
city will be both pleasant and pro-
fitable.
In the many tobacco warehouses
you will find operators who have
devoted their entire lives to this
business and are in position to get
you the top price for your tobacco.
The cotton market also is operated
by men of long experience in the
buying of cotton who are equipped
to handle all the cotton you might
desire to sell.
Nowhere, we believe, will you find
stores stocked with merchandise Of
higher order or clerks more cor
dial or anxious to make your stay
in their departments both pleasant
and profitable to you. If you should
need banking facilities, you will find
in our city banks operated by men
who have dealt with farmers for
years and are ready and willing to
render any reasonable service.
AS Lions we are ever working un-
tiringly for all worthy enterprises
which tend to build up our city and
produce health, happiness, and pros
perity for its citizens. In addition to
this, we foster good fellowship and
interest in our fellowman. Our main
objective in Lionism is to aid the
blind and to preserve sight.
Friends, we. again urge you to
bring your products to our city and
give us an opportunity to send you
home more satisfied with your bust
ness transactions than you have ever
been before. Let us show you how
pleasant and profitable it is to sell,
bank, and buy in Henderson.

Large Gins
Here Serve
Cotton Men
Staple Not Only Sold
By Growers in Large
Quantities but Used
By Local Manufac-
turing Establish
mentS.

Farmers with cotton to sell can.
find no better place to dispose of
it than in Henderson where facilities
that are offered are uneXcelled in
many respects. Men who concern
themselves with the handling of the
crop in this city have a reputation
of many years to be sustained in Civ
ing satisfaction to growers, and they
may be relied upon to guard their
record during the coming season.
Henderson has been cotton CEN,
ter for two generations. In the days
before tobacco became so important
a money crop in Vance county and
the surrounding sections, much more
cotton was grown than in the i'm
mediate past. Most of it has been
marketed here, to the satisfaction of
growers, in keeping with market
price levels.
Two large cotton gins are operat-,
ed in Henderson, one by the Rose
Gin & Supply Company, of which
George A. Rose is the directing head,
and the other by The Cooper Com
pany, which is headed by M. Y.
Cooper The Cooper Company also
operates a large gin at Drewry,
which serves portions of both Vance
and Warren counties.
Mr.. Rose is one of the oldest cit
liens of Henderson, both in years and
| in point of residence and activity in
business. And he is also one of the
most active and one of the best in
formed men in the community on
matters of both business and farm
ing. Few citizens are better known
to both Henderson and Vance county
people and those in neighbOr cOun-
ties. He has had dealings with most
people in one way or another and at
one time or another, and enjoys the
respect and confidence of all who
have come in contact with him
through the years.
Mr.. Rose has been the moving fac
tor in the cotton gin that bears his
name since it was built here some
decades ago. He knows cotton in all
of it's phases, including its growth,
marketing, ginning, sale and even
manufacture. AS head of the Rose
Gin & Supply Company, is supply
headquarters for many farmers of
the county and section in making
their crops.
Mr.. Cooper is a young man in the
business community of Henderson,
but is experienced and successful
He operates The Cooper Company,
which not only owns and runs two
cotton gins, but supplies many farm
ers of the section in the making Of
their crops from year to year. He is
acquainted with growers in all parts
of this county and section, as well as
with the people of Henderson.
He has been in the farm supply
and gin business in Henderson since
1924, but has had his own company
since 1923. 1t has enjoyed a success
full career in the county and section
