WASN'T CHRISTMAS Won
derful this year? There were so
many lovely gifts and even the
cards help to draw us close to
the ones who are away. We love
to keep them and, as time goes
on, to look at them occasionally,
just to recapture the sentiment
and friendly feeling we hold for
the sender.
Perfumes are always the ia
vorite gift and those who are
fortunate to receive many pre-
cious bottles should know that
special care is necessary. Even
the very finest scents when ex-
posed 10 constant light will de-
teriorate. Use your good scents
and enjoy them instead of keep
ing them corked and put away
as ornaments.
Enjoy Appearance
Perfume cabinets are lovely
but don't keep everything sealed
up for years. Really good per-
fumes will not disappear from
the market. There will always
be plenty even though the one
special aroma may be scarce for
the moment.
Don't forget to keep the bot
ties bright and well polished.
They are ornamental and should
be treated as fine vases.
When spraying the room, use
the pine or woodsy scents rather
than the more expensive kind.
Heavy scents in heated rooms
are too overpowering and cloying.
Your new fur coat will need
the personal touch of a good
scent. Furs retain the aroma too
but even the best furs should not
be sprayed with these precious
liquids. Use it on the inside of

Cookery Hint

SUCCESSFUL PORK cookery
depends on temperature and
length of cooking. Never cook
pork too fast: it's al its best
when thoroughly done, with no
tinge of pink.

Chicago, Sept. l2.-Out where the
West begins fatal accident rates 60

A solid block of states, including
Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona and
New Mexico and all states west of
these make up II of the IA states
in which 80 or more persons per 1OO,-

dents of one kind or another during
1899.
The other three stasc in this group

cident Facts, the National Safety
Councils statistical yearbook. are
Florida Ohio and West Virginia.
Wyoming had the highest, or worst,
rate in the countrywide accident
deaths per 100000 population. Ari-
zona was next with rate of 1898.
The Dakotas, adjacent on the north
to the high-rate states, were the SAL
est in the nation.
North Dakota's accident death rate
of $50 per 100000 population was
the lowest in the country. South Da-
kotas rate of 32.9 was slightly better
than Rhode Islands 53.5 for second
best.

Henderson
Mart Easy
Of Access
Recent Floods in Area
Did Little Damage to
Highways in This
Community; P aved
Roads Lead Into City
From Many Direc-
tions.

Recent heavy rains and floods in
nearby territory did very little dam
age to the roads and highways of
Vance county or to those which
serve as feeders to the Henderson
market, and growers with tobacco
and cotton 10 sell will find the city
easy Of access, as has been the case
for these many years.
The city'S markets arc reached
over paved roads from nearly every
direction. In this section. the horse
and buggy days are past, so far as
transportation is concerned, and
modern methods Of travel orc avail
able to farmers who will come here
by the thousands during the coming
fall and winter season to market
their crops.
Many miles Of highway are of
concrete; other miles are Of tar and
gravel paving, making ii possible for
trucks hauling large quantities Of to-
bacco and cotton to negotiate these
roads in any kind OF weather. Steep
grades and muddy lanes of travel are
a thing of the past in this section,
as nearly everywhere else in North
Carolina.
Good roads have been an impor-
tant factor in development Of Hen
dcrson as a marketing center for to-
baccO and cotton, and as a trading
headquarters. It is doubtful if the
rapid growth of the markets and of
the wholesale, retail and distribution
activities of the community could
ever have been possible without the
modern highways that lead into the
city. No longer is it necessary for
growers to start 10 town the day be-
fore when they wish to sell on a
particular day. They can load their
tobacco or cotton in the early morn
ing and be on warehouse floors or at
gins with their offerings by the time
sales start. They can leave home,
come in for their sales and return
home all in the same day and from
sun to sun.
And not only is a welcome extend
ed to growers by the tobacco people
and cotton dealers, but also by the
retail district and the community as
whole. A cordial greeting and
friendly treatment await those who
sell their products and buy then
needs in Henderson this year, as in
the past.

Stores Anticipate
Marketing Season
Opening of Markets
tlnds Merchants With
Unusually Fine Selec-
ton of Stocks and With
Hearty Welcome for
Old Customers.

Opening Of the tobacco and cotton
marketing season in Henderson is
the annual signal for merchants OF
the city TO reach the peak of their
seasonal efforts in providing the most
complete stocks and widest selections
of fall and winter and staple mer-
chandiSe. It's the elimination of
months of planning and buying and
arranging Of stocks so that the re-
tail section Of Henderson may be
at its best
And this year in particular the
Henderson merchants have outdone
themselves in striving to please their
customers.
Anticipating higher prices and
limited supplies because of unset
tleG world conditions, the merchants
as a whole have purchased larger
stocks, selected more carefully the
many items they will offer in their
stores, and now they present them
in their most attractive display to
appeal to the thousands of tobacco
and cotton growers who will market
the results of their years efforts and,
with the proceeds thereof, supply
themselves with the essentials and
luXIuieS which are their due.
Henderson merchants look forward
throughout the year 10 the opening
Of the markets and to the upsWing in
business which this brings. They
want the business, of course But
they also look forward 10 the mar
ke1ng, season for another and more
important reason:
The marketing season brings into
dom come to Henderson and seldom
visit its stores at other times of the
year. And thus the opening Of the
markets means the establishment
of friendly relations between store
keeper and customer, in a relation
ship which has its basis in the an
nual fall markets and the resultant
shopping by the farmer and his FAM
lily in Henderson stores. That i'm
portant relationship is the thing that
brings q new expression each fall to
the composite face of Henderson's
business section.
These visitors returning this year
to Henderson will find that the city
never had a more attractive coun-
tenance 10 await them.
Always "spruced up" for the fall
reunion, Henderson will this year be
even more attractive physically and
more cordial in its greeting. And the
high prices which are typical of Hen
dcrsons markets are reversed in
Henderson'S stores-because just as
the markets offer high prices to in
ducc selling, the stores feature lower
prices to encourage buying. The COM
bination makes Henderson the ideal
place 10 dispose of crops and to sup
ply the needs of all the family.
To many of the stores in Hender-
son the opening of the tobacco mar
kets will be the renewal of fam
liar eXperience-but an experience

composing this geographical group,
together with the combined efforts Of
the cities within these states, have
launched Il program 10 call TO the
attention Of the nation the fact that,
far from being ''problem,' the
South is indeed 4 field Of economic

North Carolina, always Il leader in
the South, again rorgeS to the front
in lis adaptability to requirements Of
diversified industries. The State as
a whole offers untold opportunities
for the establishment of any and all
types Of industries.
High in rank among the cities of
North Carolina which offer suitable
locations for industrial expansion Is
Henderson. Contained in the two i'll
duStrial surveys compiled, and on
file in the Chamber Of Commerce
offices, are facts and figures which
show this statement TO be more than
true.
In the northeastern part OF North
Carolina, on the border OF the Pied
mont and Coastal Plain sections of
the State, Henderson is stratcgically
located with regard to accessibility
TO world markets for its products.
Within 600 miles lives over onc-hall
of the population of the United
States. Another asset to this section
is its altitude Of SIT feet and its mild
climatic conditions, locality noted
for its freedom from flood and storm
ravages.
Served by the main line of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, New
York is only twenty-four freight
hours away, while Norfolk, one of
the principal seaportS on the At
lantic Ocean, is within twelve
freight-hours Of Henderson. A branch
line of the Southern Railroad syS-
tenn also acts as connecting link for

serving North Carolina and the At

Located on U. S. Highway No. /,
Henderson IS served by all OF the
major north-south motor freight
lines, increasing the excellent IA
cilities for shipments.
As evidence Of Hcndcrson's excel
lent advantages for operation Of i'll

here are the Henderson and Harriet

Company, Corbitt Truck Company,

Fewer Accident
Deaths Occur In
Spring OF Year

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Perhaps it's be-
cause young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love. Or per-
haps there's a better reason.
In any event, the fact remains that
there arc fewer accidental deaths in
spring than in any other season OF the
year, according to the 1910 edition
of Accident Facts, the National Safe
ty Councils statistical yearbook, just
off the press.
Compared with the daily average
Of $50 deaths for 1889, the spring toll,
was only 23O deaths day 10 pc
cent less than the average.
During the summer months there
we're 267 deaths days per cent
more than the average. In the fall
there was slight increase to ESQ
deaths. and the winter fiorre was the
same as in the summer, 267 each day.

Hitting For
New Record
Volume to August l
Nearly $1,000 Ahead
of Like Period Year
Ago; 1899 Gross Was
$50, 695.O3, All-Time
High.

Volume Of business done bv a
cIty's post office frequently IS taken
us 4 barometer of economic cOnd-
TONS genera lily in that community.
And, measured by that Standard
business should be in an encourage
ing condition in Henderson, for the
Henderson post office has fer sew
oral years been making steady gains
in its monthly and annual receipts.
With only few exceptions, the
office has for long time been show
ing receipts each month that were
in excess Of the corresponding month
the previous year. And since re-
covcry set in following the worst Of
the depression, each succeeding year
has shown d volume we'll in excess
Of the previous one.
For 1889 the office had gross re-
cciptS of S54,695.O3, which compared
with $53,878.l9 in 1888. The total for
1887 was S5l ,60O74; for 1886 was
$48,925l9; for 1885 was S45,28675,
and in 1884 was S41,215.O3.
Unless there is Il slump for the
final five months Of 1910, this year
will show the largest receipts in the
history of the office, even exceeding
the all-timc high mark last year. At
the end Of July, volume for the first
seven months of 1910 amounted to
S30.9724 40, which was Sl,795.42 ahead
Of the S29,l76.9o for the like period
of 1899.
January is the only month in 1910
so far that had receipts under those
for the like month in 1889, and the
total was off less than $50 at that
time.
The office has been under the di-
rection of Postmaster j. R. league
for the past five or six years. Mr..
league IS past president and past
secretary of the North Carolina AS
sociation of PostmastcrS, ana before
entering government service was
identified with some of the leading
business enterprises Of Henderson,
He is chairman Of the board OF dea-
cons of the First Baptist church, and
is otherwise affiliated with local &C
tiVitieS.
At the present time the post office,
along with like government agencies
throughout the country, is engaged IN
registering aliens who may reside in
Vance county. The office has been
assigned the entire county for this
duty, and while there are compare
lively few aliens in this immediate
territory, a number have already
taken out questionnaires to be filled
in for official files of the Department
Of Justice in Washington.
The post office building here was
doubled in size four years ago, ana
is equipped to handle even Il much
larger volume OF business than has
vet come to it.

The modern Chamber Of Commerce
is actually patterned after the fairs
and merchant guilds of medieval Eu-
rope. When the fairs had outliVed
their usefulness, the merchant guilds
were developed during feudal times.
These were the first private institu-
tons formed to protect their mem
bers. With the disintegration of the
guild system in the fifteenth cen
tury, chambers of commerce were
evolved.
The name was first applied to an
association Of merchants at MarSeil-
les carly in the 18th century, but
which was not definitely organized
until 1850. The French chambers, as
has always been the case with asSo-
