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. / DIESMEO —^ —- - ’4 Funeral Will Be From Home Tomorrow After noon, Burial at Dabney Mrs. Lucy Ball Harris, 72, died at her home at 939 Suuth William street 4:10 a. m. today after an illness of about five months, during which time she suffered from a complication of diseases.

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 ir{M Eases Headache In 3 Minutes also neuralgia, muscular aches and pains, toothache, earache, periodical and other pains due to inorganic causes* No nar cotics* 10c and 25c packages* 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.” Ps. 91:1.

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.

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.
