operate back and forth from farms
and their warehouses and bring in the
tobacco to their houses at no cost to
the farmer. Many of the warehouses
have also employed individuals to ride
the country for weeks in advance 6f
the opening of the season ,to pledge
farmers to sell in the warehouse hir
ing the solicitor, or drummer. Both
propositions have been very costly t 6
but so many of them
were doing it that the house that fail
ed to do so was placed at a disad
vantage in the amount of tobacco it
handled. It jjs |be.lfi<eved that mosit
warehousemn will be glad to be rid
of the practice, but they feel that
there must be an unanimous consent
and agreement, or some law of the
association preventing it, before the
desired ends may be accomplished.
It is believed that the movement
now under way will accomplish the
end 3 desired, and lid the warehouses
of the expense involved.
It is not; understood that the new
.proposal will prevent warehousemen
' hemselves from soil uniting farmers
for their tobacco for sale, although
this phase of the proposal has not
been learned definitely.; It may be a
part of the plan to be threshed out
at the Danville .meeting.. ,
Information here today was that
all markets in both Carolinas, in Vir
ginia, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennes
see will be affected by the new law
of the tobacco association if final
agreement is ultimately reached, as is
nflw considered certain.
Colonel Carrington and others tak
ing a part in the movement plan to
have the bans against truckers and
drummers made effective in advance
of the opening of the coming tobacco
marketing season. /

Searching Sermon Delivered
By Preacher; Musical
, Numbers Feature
Another large congregation was
present last night at the Big Hen
derson Warehouse in the union re
vival and heard a searching sermon
by the evangelist, Rev. H. C. Cav
il ness. Thfc musical numbers of
in ess. The musical numbers of Miss
es Smith and Logue, of Norfolk, on.
the miramba, the harp and' : the. vio
lin were inspiring -and delightful' and
added greatly to the miisc of the ‘even
ing. They are to be here for the re
mainder of the revival. ;
At the close of the sermon a num
ber of adults and children went into
the inquiry room in addition to those
who had raised their hands for pray
er.
The sermon text was from Genesis
3:9, “Where art thou?” and centered
around the complacency and satis
faction of individuals in hiding be
hind various claimls and alibis as to
their religious life. In the course
of his sermon, the preacher said*; in
part: '* ) •* '
"Where art thou? is the eternal
question of Jehovah. First heard in
Eden’s garden as He sought the sin
ning and sinful Adam and Eve, but
this question has been heard in every
decade of human history. ’Tis God’s
greatest question of grace. We are
permitted tonight to ask in His stead,
‘Where art thou?’
“Art thou seeking to hide from Him
behind church and creed? Adam and
Eve utilized aprons of fig leaves,
which served splendidly until He, Je
hovah, appeared, and perhaps your
fig leaves of church and creed-may
be so skillfully woven as to deceive
the cye3 of man, but, neighbor, it
rever has deceived God, really: it has
nTver deceived thee, for in the deeps
of thy hart thou hast known that
the covering' was n(H sufficient. Os
course our creeds have contributed
to our bigotry, ?and made us cruel
with a perfect epitome of heartldss
ness. On the cross of creed more man
have been crucified than on all oth
ers. God rebukes it. One day. He turns
to John, and said to him when he
evidenced the pride of church and
creed which made him a bigot. ‘For
bid him not, for he htat is not against
us, is for us.’ John 9:50. Why; jtist
a little later this same bigoted soul
desired fire from heaven to destroy
■Samat'arian cities because its citizenry
would riot receive Jesus as He. parsed
•by. JorinV9:s4. There is no grfeater
hinrierance to true conversion, per
haps, that ary attachment to a tradi
tional religion consisting, of epipty
ordinances. There is,, !6ne Lord,-. onjs
faiithi, one 1 ajfJiam, one Gpd
father of all.’ Eph. 4:5:«.0ne /Lord
to be preached, one faith to be ex-
one baptism, that : of.the ,|Joly
iSpirit to; receive, an done ,God.,t6 be
glorified. Christ is far bigger than
any church dr creed. Religion is more
than -a subscription 'to a doctrine,
(however, fine it may be, far bigger
than the confession of all creeds com
bined. Religion? Why the religion* of
'he; Lord Jesus Christ is a-person.
It is Christ,-God make usvbigger
than bigots, for bigotry makes pig
mies and paraliiics out of people.
“Op© finds in's tridying Acts 6 to
11 Chapters Inclusive that neither
could science, benevolence or obser
vances of creed cohtribute any thing
to the man who was ill, the woman
who was dead, nor the churchman
who was lost.
“Where art thou?” Hiding behind
the church for commercial purposes?
In these days we live it is only fash
ionable to belong to a church; but is
regarded as good business. A man we
read of in Acts 5:1-11, thought this
was true, he seems to have been the
first who introduced this system
among folks, but this abuse of grace
resulted in his death, as well that
of his wife. Truth never made peace
with a lie, and the price which men
receive in exchange for their honesty
rains. Judas grasps his silver but
he never spent it. There is no pur
chase power in the proceeds of dis
honesty. Annias never lived to spend
his savings won through 'the commer
cialism of his church attitude.
“Where art thou?” Hiding behind
thy altruism? In 1 Cor. 13:3, we find
that although we give all we have,
even our bodies to be burned, with
out the love of God within us, as the
dynamatic which impelis, it psofits
us nothing. You can take nothing
greater into life than love, and you
need to take nothing less if you would
live.
“Where art thou? Hiding behind a
profession which is, lie? A hypocrisy
which purports to conceal? “He that
covereth his sins shall not prosper,
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh
them shall have mercy.” Prov. 28:-
1.
“Where art thou? Hiding behind
false hopes? “The hypocrite's hope
shall perish, whose hope shall be cut
off, and whose trust shall be a spide’s
web.” Job 8:13-14. The ver y garden
in which false hopes once flourished
will one day disown and deny its
own growths. False hopes like the
mirages of the desert to a man per
ishing for water are promising, but

promises without performance. You
say, “I hope to get to heaven” But
How? Not through hope only. You
say, “I hope that' the church will
save me.” Why, friend, marvelous and
God given institution though *she is,
the church within itself never saved
anyone, and never can, and never will.
Jesus said, “I am the Door.” ‘
Again He declares. “I am the way,
the truth and the life.’’
“Where art thou? “Hiding behind
thy loneliness? ph; pitiful soul.
“Verily, vferily, I say unto you, ex
cept a wheat fall into the
■ground and die, it abideth alone.”
John 12:24. IL seems that men have
ever sought loneliness wherein they
might hide from Jehovah. Living in
gardens where the fruit is the bap
tism of their bloody sweat superin
duced through the solitude. Such
.solitudes become . infinite- in disSola
tion, and marks; the frontiers of life
which when one enters so often he is
taken, back into life to be buried as a
suicide. Oh; it’s apprehensions, it’s
agitations, it’s f agonies. Criin was the
first man who tread this trail. “Gain
said unto the Lord’ my punishment is
greater than I can bear, behold thou
has driven me out this day from the
face of the earth, and from tliy face
shall I be hid, and I shall be a fugi
tive 'and a vagabond in the earth.”
■Gen. 4:13-14. In this place of lone
liness self pity and self love flourish
which end in death, “fie that loveth
his life shall lose it.” John 12:25-
“Where art thou? Hiding from God
even in the judgment? In Rev. 6:12-
<l7. One finds the most terribly ar
resting picture of a future scene yet
to happen among men. Wlben the time
for hiding behind church, creed, al
truism, morality, science and obser
vances, and profession which is a lie,
will fail; then it is that men, rich
men, poor men, pauper and prince,
will seek to hide in cavern, in dens
and in holes in the rocks, from what?
Not from the Man of Mercy, Jesus
Christ, as He now seeks them. But
from the wrath of the Lamb of God.
“Who shall be able to stand?” Men
who now mock Him, will, perhaps,
live to see that day, that hour strike
upon God’s clock, who lived in their
hellborn pride, but forgotten in a mo
ment, now, is all their boasting, in
bitterness they will seek to hide from
His wrath. * ...
“Where art thou?” Hiding in the
secret place of the most High? Ah;
safe at last. ‘‘He that dwelleth in the
.secret place of the most High, shall
abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Warehouse Set-Up Here
Is Complete For Season
%i ’ V
No Changes Made in Personnel of Management; Tobac*
co Men Expect Henderson Market To Sell 20,000,006
Pounds or More During Coming Season
The entire set-up inhe warehouse
business in Henderson'for the coming
season has been completed, and no
changes in management of the various
houses operated here last year are; tp
be made. AH of them will be operat
ed by the same ownership, with the
addition of a new house.
The Henderson market will h&ve
five warehouses in the coming season
as the, result of thri rebuilding of ’the
Planters Warehouse, which riyas burnr
ed a few days before Christinas in
1931 .during the Christmas recess in
the market. It was not restored in
time to be of service during the 1931-
,33 season and was not a factor in
the market at all.
The new' Planters will be operated
next year under lease to W. M. Young
•and W. B. Daniel, Jr., who have for
years operated Cooper’s Warehouse,
This will be the first time in many
seasons that the same-management
on the local market has owned mbre
than one warehouse.
The Big Henderson will run. again
the coming season by -J. H, - Cheat
ham and N. R. White who ran it last
season. Mr. Cheatham has been thri
head of that house since it was erect
ed several years ago. ■■
W7. J. Alston is to be manager of
the Farmers Warehouse again, as he
has been for several seasons. : . ;
The High Price Warehouse will be
operated by G. W. Knott,- Lee Gooch,
and Wilson Smith,who. rari ’it last
year. Mr. Knott has run the house
for a number of years.
All warehouse cpei'sators : here are
Henderson men and have been on the
market for many years. They are all
experienced warehousemen and are
known to tobacco farmers who sell
their weed on the Henderson floors.
They are all enthusiastic boosters of
the Henderson market, and have had
be troubled.” John 14:27. Hidden.: in

parts in its progress and growth dur
ing the past six or, seven years, dur
, irig which tiipe it has climbed to an
; eminence' as,/one of the largest and
leaf markets i-h the State.
Because of the expected increase in
the tobacco crop this year, .it is con
sidered certain triat more tpbacco will
be sold here than was the case last
ypar.■Somfe,setinrfates put the season’s
figure well, above the 20,000,000 pounds
level. Last year the market sold only
.13,608,710 pounds: frir $1,665,006.87, at
an average of $12.23 per hundred
pounds. This represented a drop from
the previous season’s figures of 22,-
272,734 pounds, and total money‘paid
out of $1,841,608.98, at an average of
$8,26 per hundred pounds. , r
The best season Henderson ever ex
perienced, so far as pounds sold are
concerned, was that of 1930-31,- when
27,556,766 pounds were sold here,for a
total of $3,719,896.92 at an average
price of sl3 43 per hundred. There
have been other, years when more
money was paid out, and many years
when the- -average was higher, but
that season saw the greatest volume
of tobacco.
;The season gets under way here to
ward the end of September, as usual,
and, with fiye large warehouses'a»
the disposal -rif the at is ex
pected there will be a sharp upward
trend in thfegwrilume from the outset.
There is nothing as yet to indicate the
price that -frill be paid, and it is be
lieved that will depend considerably
upon world consumption and the, size
of the 1933 crop, which 1 is’ ‘just now
being put into the ground.
