Leaf Sales
Start Here
Week
First Load Has Al
ready Been Received
For Auctions Begin
ming Monday Week,
With Double Set of
Buyers from Start.

Sales of tobacco for the 1889 auc-
ton season will begin on the Hen
dcrson market slightly more than
a week hence, on Monday, Septem-
Der IL, and the first load of tobacco
for sale on opening day was already
on the market this weekend. 1t was
brought in by J. S. Pace, Of Clay
ton, Route 2, and weighed approx
mately 1000 pounds.
Sales will start with a double set
Of buyers after a postponement Of
the opening for two sales days and
over next weekend at the request
of manufacturers, who said they
could not finish in the Border Belt
in time to get their buyers into the
Middle Belt for the opening date Of
Thursday, September 7. as original
lv set by the Tobacco Association Of
the United States last summer.
Curing has virtually been COM
pleted, except in a few rare in
stances. 1t is understood that the
final curings, which consisted OF
tobacco that got the heavy rains Of
the past two weeks, was not as good
quality as that housed earlier in
the summer season, which was OF
very high grade.
Final preparations for the opening
are now being made by warehouse
men. and everything will be in
readiness for the start on Monday
week. Changes have been made in
sales schedules to adjust them to
the later opening date, and two sets
of buyers will operate under this
arrangement from the start.
Growers are wondering what Of
feet, if any, the European war crisis
will have on prices. Border Belt
farmers have received fairly good
returns on their crop, but averages
have not been as satisfactory on the
eastern North Carolina markets,
which have now been in operation
for two weeks. If the war should
shut off exports, the decline in de-
mand is expected certainly to be re-
flected in prices on thu local mar
ket.

Call it that if you will; it's hard,
however, to apply old terms to this
new situation. Many accepted terms
OF international law go by the
boards in these days."

SACRAMENTO. May 10. up
A proposed constitutional amend
ment to give the Olson administra-

positions was modified today by its
author. Senator Jesse Carter, D.,
Redding, in an attempt to save the
plan from defeat.

have TO be submitted to a vote of
the people if it receives legislative
approval, now proposes to exempt
from the state civil service law
chiefs of divisions and superinten-
oents of institutions. in addition to
the present exemption of the di-
rector and one confidential as
Sistant in each department.
Amendments were submitted by
Carter and adopted by the senate

bles injured yesterday died this
afternoon.
Fully equipped soldiers with fix
ed bayonetS occupied the roofs of
buildings in the Jewish section Of
the city.
All government buildings were put
under strict guard. Barbed wire
and sand bag barricadeS were erect
ed at strategic points III the streets.
British troops were withdrawn from
outlying Arab districts and brought

to be prepared for any eventuality.
It appeared likely that the Off
cial Jewish resistance henceforth
might be passive but extremist
groups created fears OF future riot
ing. Jewish city and rural real eS-
tate owners agreed they would not
pay either government or munich
pal taxes so long as the British
program remains in effect.
This appeared to be the first
step in a campaign of non-cooper-
alton such as has been used ire
quently against Great Britain in
India and other eastern regions.
Another method OF opposing the
British policy, which restricts i'm
to Palestine, probably
will be organization of illegal means
of entry. A Greek schooner carry
ing 308 illegal Jewish immigrants
due TO arrive Wednesday was de-
.ayed because it had TO elude bat
tleShipS patrolling the coast. The
schooner finally was caught by

head the pension movement, eX-
planned that in their revised pro-
poSal they had eliminated pre-
yious provision which aligned teach
ers and governmental employees ag-
ainst the Ham, -and-Egg plan.
The original plan made 1t man.
datory that half the salaries OF
teachers and state, county and city
employees be paid in warrants which
the state would issue. The new
plan makes acceptance of warrants
optional with all public employees.
Petitions presented to Gov. Olson
asking a special election bore l,1O3,-
222 names. The proposed constl-
tutional amendment was defeated
last November. l,398999- to l,l4e,67C
Gov. Olson told the pension spon-
sors that he was in sympathy with
their objectives but added that Il
do not want you to infer from my
presence here, or the granting of
your petition. that I believe in the
feasibility OF the plan proposed IL
this measure, or that 1t would ac-
complish its objectives, if adopted ="
The plan would be financed by
8 per cent gross income tax. To
put it into operation the state
would have to issue S20,000,000 IL
bonds. State banks would be set
up to handle 81 warrants, which
would have a two cent redemption
stamp affixed to them each week
to make them negotiable. War
rants could be used TO pay state
taxes and in all business transac-
tons within the state. Opponents
contend that the plan would bank
rupt the state and would hinder
interstate commerce because other
states do not have similar sys-
TENS.

Whirter inquired or Campbell whe-
ther Mrs. Cordell Hull wife OF the
secretary OF state, former Gov. All.
M. Landon OF Kansas and William
Allen White, famed Emporia, Kan,
editor, had any Jewish blood.
Dies asserted that MoSeley, who
retired from the army last year ano
relinuuished his post as commander
of the fourth corps area at Allan
ia, Ga, with an embittered attack
on the New Deal, was a chief figure
in the campaign to neutrallze the
alleged Subversive plot. Since his
retirement, Moseley had made many
speeches attacking Communists and
persons he alleged to be radicals.
At his St. Adams home, Deather-
age agreed that he was one OF a
group attempting to combat the
alleged plot.
This is substantially true,
Deatherage said. I'VE are engaged
in combating the Marxist or Com
munist guys in this country. Let
them put me on the stand, and
I'll tell what 1 know under oath.
But he charged that Dies and his
committee are playing with small
fry, instead of hitting the men at
the top OF these movements"
Gilbert said his group learned
that the overthrow Of the gov
arnment' would be developed by
one of two methods:
/. A movement TO throw the
United States into a general Euro
pean war with the result that this
country would become a totalitar-
ian state,
2. An internal revolution, SINH

be accompanied by raid" or
