Henderson Market Ready
T For Start OF New Season
Blocked Sale Appears Likely; Optimism, Over
Price Prospects Seen; Crop Reported of Fa;rIv
Good Quality.

Clio. G to half a million pounds
tobacco, according TO estimates Of to-
bacco men, was on the floors of Hen
dcrson warehouses late today for the
opening sales tomorrow, when the
1910 auction season begins here. II
was expected more than that would
be on hand by 9 o'clock, when actual
;ales tart.
All warehouses that will have sale
opening day arc expected to be viz
tually filled by the start.
First morning sales will be held
at High Price and Big Henderson
warehouses. In the afternoon the
sales crews will move over TO tho
Farmers and the new Carolina ware
houses for their first sales Of the sea-
son.
Double sales will, of course, be in
augurated with the start Of the sell
ing period and continue through 10
the end of the season.
So war as was learned, growers
were reasonably optimistic about the
prospects. In some quarters in the
city estimates today were that the
first day would probably reach an
average of II to 10 cents. One prom
incnt business man even hazarded
a guess that the entire season would
verage around 10 to 20 cents on the
local market.
Opinion is that the years crop is of
fairly good quality, and damage that
was feared as the result of tie pro-
tracted heavy rains of early August
did not materialize, at least not in q
general way. The crop is much small
er, perhaps more than third less
than last year, as the result of AAA
quota restrictions, and naturally cost
less in the aggregate to make. 1t is
believed by some that 10 to %
cents average for the season would
net growers a small profit on the
crop grown.
A full sale for the first day was
assured, and growers were promised
that floors would be cleared suffi-
GENTLY by night to make room for adj
ditional heavy offerings on Wednes-
day, second sales day of the season.
Great numbers of business men

Metropolitan Artists Will Give
Concert At East Carolina COLLEGE

GREENVILLE, Sept. 28.-Gladys
Swarthout, star of the Metropolitan
Opera. association and of a mum
Der of sound films, will appear il
concert at East Carolina Teachers
college on the night of Friday
October 4, as the first artist in a
series of programs that will include
an opera, a well-known duo-pian.

Allen Jones, and North Cardinals
own Metropolitan singer, Lucille
Browning. The Junior Chamber of
Commerce of Greenville is cooperat.
ing with the entertainment commit
tee of the college in selling season
tickets for the series.
From the time in her thirteenth
year when she passed for nineteen
and secured a desired position as
soloist in a Kansas City church
choir up to. her present ucces in
opera, concert, radio, and moving
pictures, Miss Swarthout has climbed
steadily, until she is now recognized
as one Of the leading mezzo-sopranos
Of the country.
She began work in opera in Chi
cago, and her success there took
her to New York to the Metropoli-
tan. Opera company in the 193O-31
season. Since then she has sung
most of the leading mezzo roles in
the italian and French operas U.s.
ually given by the Metropolitan.
One of Miss Swarthout's best roles
has been that of an confidant in
"Lakme", III which she sings a duet
with Lily Pons that because Of the
perfect blending of voices brings the
audience to its feet again and again.
The success of this singer has
not been due primarily to good
luck, either, though Miss Swarth-
out considers herself, she says, a
very lucky person. The fact that she
learned in summer some TWEEN
ty-three roles in opera shows that
willingness to work has played its
part in her advancement.
The opera, Barber Of Seville,
the second number of the series,
scheduled for November 8, will be
given by a cast Of thirty-five, in
Guiding Hide Reggiani, soprano of
the Metropolitan in the star role
of Rosina.
The d~uo-pianists, Luboshutz and
Nemenoff, will appear on January
II in a program similar to the one
described by the New York Post as
zone Of the most satisfying" of
the season.
