BY FRED Nj. ALLEN, JR.,
Secretary, Henderson Chamber
of Commerce.

Officials Of the Henderson Tobacco
Board of Trade, including ware
housemen and buyers, together with
officials and members Of the Hen
derson Chamber of Commerce, which
is composed of the leading business
firms of all types in Henderson, have
been extremely busy with the to-
bacco situation since the market was
closed by the companies on Septem-
Der 13. Officials in Henderson have
worked closely with officials on other
markets, and with government Of
ficials in making every effort tC
solve and relieve the present situa-
ton.
Several plans were originated in
Henderson to help the situation, in
Guiding the drawing Of resolutions
faVOring revision Of the present neu-
trality law SO that the Imperial To-
bacco Company, and other foreign
buyers might continue their pur-
chases. This particular resolution was
taken up by many other markets
and copies were sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States and all
other tobacco and government Of
ficials who were concerned.
Meetings have been held almost
every day in Henderson and other
cities since the market was closed
Representative Of the Henderson to-
baccO market were present at the
meeting in Washington when the
final plan was worked out which en-
abled the markets to reopen on Oc-
fol iO1o d
tiSh buying companies to return tc
the markets, buying their require
mentS for the account Of the Com
modify Credit Corporation, with ar
option on such tobacco, which may
be taken up by the foreign companies
on or before July l, 1941
The Middle Belt Warehouse Asso-
citation met in Henderson during the
holiday at the call of the President
w. B. Daniel, Jr., to consider the sit
uatiOn and offer suggested remedies
and solutions.
Since the time when the date fol-
referendum for next years tobacco
crop was set, business men, ware
hOusemen and bankers have worked
increasingly to explain the presen
situation to growers throughout this
section. The first meeting held was
general membership meeting of the
Henderson Chamber of Commerce, al
which time the business men of the
community, together with ware
housemen, went on record as unani-
mously approving the crop control
program for 1910 as the best method
of relieving the present conditions.
Since the plan outlined by the gov
ernment, to furnish up to so million
dollars for the purchase of foreign
grades on bright leaf markets, de-
pended upon the passage of the con-
troll referendum, it was thought by
all the leaders in Henderson's busi-
ness and lobacco life that this was

Criminal D O c k e t.;
Civil Court to F follow.

Trial of Vernon L. Robertson, Is
year-old Henderson barber, for the
Staying of Hunter Coggsdale here
September 81 is the principal Grim
inal action on the docket of Vance
Superior Court, which opens Mon
day for one week of criminal court
to be followed by week Of civil
actions.
Robertson is charged with first de-

ment known as JOe's Place, Operat-
ed in the heart Of the Garnett street
business section, three doors south
of the post office He is said to have
accused Coggsdale Of paying atten-
tiOns to his wife.
What day the case will be called
for trial was not learned today. A
time will probably be fixed when
court opens Monday.
There are two other homicide
cases, one resulting from mistrial
at the June court in which one
Negro is charged with the Staying
of another. The other is a case in
which a fatality resulted from al
automobile accident.
There are Sc cases in all on the
criminal docket, and little hope was
entertained that the docket could be
cleared during the weeks session.
The suit in which R. E. Vandyke
is asking $4,000 damages from the
Atlantic Greyhound bus lines for the
death of his 14-year-old son, Charles
Vandyke, about month ago, will not
be tried at this term of court it was
said by an attorney in the case. There
are numerous divorce actions on the
docket, however, together with other
litigation, more than enough to con-
sumo the entire week
Judge w. H. S. Burgwyn will hold
the first week of court for criminal
cases by exchange with Judge C.
E. Thompson, who goes to Tyrren
county, but will come here for the
civil week of court to follow.

situation to the growers, and to point
out that the only visible relief from
the emergency is through govern
ment aid, and that will be denied
unless the growers vote favOrably in
the referendum next Thursday for
crop control in 1910.
A number of citizens who are bit
terly opposed to crop control as a
principle are urging the farmers to
support the measure for the 1910
crop so that government money will
be available to boost the price this
year, and to hold production next
year in line with consumption in
the hope that prices will be satisfac-
tory then also.
Henderson businessmen have en-
dorsed control for 1910, and groups
of them are going to all of the county
local meetings to outline the situation
as they see it to the growers.

Better Feeling Evident
AS Market Nears Start
Reasonable Price u n e r Circumstances
Hoped For AS Sales Resume October 10; Con-
troll Is Expected to Garry in Belt as Whole.

A bit of optimism has seemed to
have been revived in the business
community this week following an
nouncement that sales will be re-
slmed on the tobacco market on
Tuesday week, October 10. The very
fact that a definite date has been
named for the start of sales has
apparently resulted in better feel
:ng.
A reasonable price for tobacco,
under the circumstances, is looked
for in some quarters when sales re-
sumo, though there is no eXpecta-
ton Of fancy averages. The fact
that the government will furnish
the financing Of purchases Of grades
the Imperial Tobacco Company us
ually buys will at least increase
competition and the number of
buyers. That is, however, on the
assumption that the growers ap-
prove tobacco control for 1910, in
which event the government will
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-09-30

make credit available up to about
$4O,OOO,OOO for bolstering the mar
| l,ets.
The Imperial withdrew its buy
! ers after sales Of September 8, and
markets closed for a "holiday" af-
ter September 13, when floors were
cleared in the Middle Belt Of Of
fcrings that had been placed in
Warehouses for the opening Of the
belt on Monday, September II. The
Imperial withdrew because Of war
condition, though prices were al
ready Tagging.
The very fact that the money
fer the 1899 crop will begin to
circulate after the opening October
10 will provide some stimulus to
economic conditions, it is held, and
there are hopes for better averages
than those recorded before the
closing. Trade has been quiet in
most tobaccosections, since the mar
ketS closed.

Face Powders

Ignore manufacturers claims of
superiority in face powder and buy
by price, advises Consumers Union
after making analyses and use tests
of 43 brands.
Ingredients differ, Gu found, but
the differences are of little import
ance except for those powders con-
tanning starch. Starch is objection
able because it irritates some skins,
it may be drying, it forms a breed
ing ground for bacteria if moist, and
it sometimes renders downy hair
visible.
Watch out for tricky packaging
and slackfilled boxes. Ten-cent sizes
often cost less per ounce than the
large size boxes of the same brand.
In fact, most of the packages offer
ing best value cost 10 cents.
Among the good quality face
powders costing least per ounce
were: Irresistible Face Lure, Fas-
cination, Elizabeth Post, Cooperative
Distributors.
Among the Not Acceptable brands,
containing starch, were: Elizabeth
Arden Poudre diffusion, Betty Lou
Gardenia, Djer-Kiss, Edna Wallace
Hopper's Superb Cling, Prince Match

It is'not the critic who counts; not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, or where the
doer of a deed could have done
better. The credit belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood; who strives vail
antly; who errs and comes short
again and again because there is nc
effort without error and shortcom-
ing; who does actually strive to dc
the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasm, the great devotions,
spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement
and who at the worst, if he fails, al
least fails while daring greatly, SO
that his place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who knew
neither victory nor defeat.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
