Schedule
Coach Tom Fallwell’s Henderson
hich school Bulldogs will see plenty
of action on the diamond this week,
I laying three games, two of them
)lore a nd the third at Warrenton.
Norlina comes here tomorrow aft
ernoon at 3:30 o’clock to take on the
locals and Roxboro comes Thursday
afternoon at the same time to give
the Bulldogs as much as they can
handle The team goes to Warrenton
Friday for a game with John Graham
high school.
Henderson started off the season
j ast week with a 10-0 loss to Roanoke
Rapids, one of the strongest teams in
this section, but came back strong
last Wednesday afternoon to trounce
Warrenton 22-5 in a slugfest.
Coach Fallwell will depend on th
port side slants of Lefty Ayscue for
a victory over Norlina. and will send
his ace hurler, Claybourne Inscoe,
against the invaders from Person
county. Soxboro, Thursday.
Leland Owens, a new comer, will
oct his chance Friday in Warrenton
to show his wares. He has a fast ball
that is very hard to hit.
Drills Favorable
The drills that the locals have been
going through have been very favor
able, according to Coach Tom. 'lhe
boys seem to get better and better as
the season progresses. They had lit
tle time to get in shape before the
epening game, due to severe wether.
Wilbourne Finch is the fourth man
on the pitching staff, and his tantaliz
ing slants give the batters plenty of
worry. He expects to see action dur
ing the week in a relief role.
After this week’s game, Henderson
has eight more contests, and, in the
opinion of Archie Boyd, onetime man
ager of a semi-pro team here, who is
aiding the boys in getting into shape,
the locals should cop more than half
of the contests.
Coach Fallwell today announced his
varsity squad as follows:
Henry Stewart, Henry Tucker, Ed
ward Brinkley, Edgar Edwards, Dur
ward Turner, James Coghill, Haywood
Phillips .Russell Ayscue, Claiborne

J., teamed together to capture the in
itial honor in the present mid-South

Ed Powell to Attend for
Henderson; Will Talk
Tobacco State Loop
Out of a meeting in Sanford tomor
row night of the teams interested in
forming the Tobacco State League for
operation during the summer, some
definite action is expected, and fans
will know whether that league will
exist again this year or not.
The principle holdup has been the
inability of Erwin to agree to play six
games a week. The league played four
games per week last year, but this
season, Henderson and Oxford have
been added, making six clubs.
All the teams, with the exception of
Erwin, want six games and will not
operate on anything less than six, ac
cording to baseball promoters here.
Ed Powell, who is the instigator of
a Henderson team in that league, has
already taken steps to house the Hen
derson entry. League Park has had
its fence restored, .bleachers built for
white fans, and a club house near the
park will be rented shortly and put in
good repair for the season, according
to Powell.
If the proposed loop falls through,
Powell says he will go on indepently,
giving Henderson baseball this sum
mer.
Representatives from here ere ex
pected to attend tomorrow night’s ses
sion and push for six games per week
with a six club league.
Most of the clubs have already been
formed, Oxford being headed by Dixie
Davis, one time Major Leagurer. He
plans to carry on independently if the
loop fails, according to observers.
The proposed league would be made
up of teams from Sanford, Selma-
Smitnfield, Angier, Erwin, Oxford,
Henderson.

acts will be performed on a raised
platform in full view of those attend
ing. There will be reserved seats as
well as bleacher seats, and all may
easily find a place of vantage to view
the intricate performances of the
stars.
Amateur Hour Feature.
Sam Alford, director of the Amateur
Hour, has been giving auditions to
talent throughout this section inter
ested in competing for cash prizes of
fered each evening, and he feels that
he has lined up some of the best avail
able. This feature is expected to prove
one of the most enoyable of the entire
gala week.
Dancing Every Night.
There will be dancing every night
with popular music being furnished
by well known bands.
Hal Thurston and his band will be
on hand tonight, and Bubbles Becker
NBC artist, will come tomorrow night
with his orchestra. A previous engage
ment prevents Becker’s band from be
ing here at the beginning of the ex
position.
The advance ticket sale has been
very gratifying, and the sponsors of
the big show expect this one to be the
best ever in attendance, judging from
the great amount of interest being
manifested.
Roosevelt’s Job
Plan Many-Sided
(Continued from Page One.)
was the earliest suggestion, made un
der the Hoover regime, when the de
pression set in. It was referred to as
a share-the-work plan.
Employers were friendly to it, but
they wanted to cut pay in proportion
to time reduction. That is to say, if
an employer had two eight-hour per
day workers and thought he could do
with one, he was willing to retain
both on a four-hour each per day
basis, but at one-half of his previous
eight-hour per day per worker.
Perhaps this would have been some
consolation to the worker who, other
wise, was due to go 100 per cent over
board, but 50 per cent less than none
to the one who hoped to be retained
100 per cent on the payroll.
In other words, the notion was to
make labor bear the whole expense
of the depression.
NO WAGE CUT
President Roosevelt proposes that
hours or days shall be cut with no cut
in wages.
Which from the employers’ stand
point, must be equivalent to a stiff

aggregate wage increase—no more per
man, but more men to deliver the old
lime volume of production.
What follows?
Why, the employers, to maintain the
profits of their respective industries
in the face of an increased overhead,
boost prices to consumers.- Living
costs rise; the worker, while getting,
in dollars and cents, as much as ever,
can buy less with it, In effect, his
pay has been cut anyway.
THREE GROUPS AT ODDS
Or else:
Labor’s pay isn’t cut. Consumerdom
isn’t mulcted.
Then the difference must come out
of the industry’s dividends. .
There are three groups zt groups.

scue workers estimated that they
were within five feet of the spot
where Dr. Robertson and Charles Al
fred Scadding were.
With Dr. Robertson and Scadding
was the body of his partner, Herman
R. McGill, Toronto lawyer, who suc
cumbed during the night apparently
to hunger and exposure.
Veteran miners were digging from
two directions to get to the men.
F. D.i Henderson, mine manager,
predicted rescurers would get through
the crumbling tunnel shortly after
noon and the miners were burrowing
in through loose rock without stop
ping to timber up their tunnel. Com
munications between the surface and
the 131 foot level, where the men are
trapped, were improved by the lower
ing of a tiny microphone wire through
a fine inch pipe for which an open
ing had been bored by a diamond
drill. Into this microphone, Dr. Rob
ertson said:
“You needn’t get through to us for
16 or 12 hours or longer. We can hold
out.”

Tobacco Farmers
To Go To Raleigh
(Continued from Page One.)
little more than an anti-Ehringhaus
and an anti-administration demon
stration, because of the refusal of
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus to call
a special session of the General As
sembly to enact tobacco crop control
legislation and a State compact law
similar to that enacted in Virginia and
under consideration in South Carolina.
It is also expected to result in a mass
demonstration in favor of the can
didacy of Dr. Ralph W. McDonald for
the Democratic nomination for gover
nor, unless Governor Ehringhaus
should yield to the demand of the far
mers and agree to call a special ses
sion of the General Assembly.
The prevailing belief in most cir
cles here today is to the effect that
Governor Ehringhaus is more deter
mined than ever not to call a special
session of the General Assembly and
that the mass meeting of tobacco far
mers, even if there should be 25,060
instead of only 5,600, will not have the
slightest influence on his conviction
that a special session is not neces
sary and could not accomplish any
thing for the farmers even if it should
be called. The further fact that a
great many of these farmers have al
ready turned away from Governor Eh
ringhaus and the present administra
tion to support Dr. McDonald is re
garded as merely solidifying the gov
ernor in his opposition to a special
session.
Those who really know the facts
agree that Governor Ehringhaus is
correct in his contention that a spe
cial session of the General Assembly
could not do anything to help the to
bacco farmers, even if one should be
called, until both South Carolina, Con
gress and possibly Georgia also take
action to make the State pacts plan
binding. But is also agreed that very
few of the tobacco farmers realize this
and that they want a special session
anyway.
While Governor Ehringhaus has
been invited to address the tobacco
farmers tomorrow and present his
reasons for not calling a special ses
sion, the belief is that many will re
main unconvinced. A good many here
frankly believe that the entire mass
meeting will result in a big demon
stration for Dr. McDonald before it is
concluded.
Merchants Gather
In State Meeting
(Continued from Page One.)-
merchants from every section of the
State have been arriving throughout
the day to attend the 34th. annual
convention of the North Carolina Mer
chants Association, in session here to
day and tomorrow. Registration open
ed this morning and the opening ses
sion was held at 11 o’clock with the
customary addresses of welcome and
reported by various officials. The
principal address was delivered by J.
G. Harrison of Mt. Airy, president of
the merchant’s association.
The convention got down to busi
ness at the session this afternoon
with a series of addresses dealing
with various phases of merchandising
and advertising. Among the subjects
discussed this afternoon were “Store
Displays that Bring Results,” by R.
R. A. Lewis of Miller and Rhodes,
of Richmond; “Advertising to
Increase Profits” by P. T. Hines, ad
vertising manager of The Greensboro
News and Record; “Methods of In
creasing the Average Sale,” by Harry
Van Stration, of Durham; “Buying
Only to Sell,” by J. C. Williams, of the
Belk-Williams Co., Wilmington and
“Building Good Will,” by State Sena
tor O, A. Swaringen, of the Quality
Service Stores, Concord.
The annual convention banquets
will be held tonight in the ball room
of the Sir Walter Hotel at which
Thomas McP. Glasgow of Charlotte
will be the principal speaker. His sub
ject will be “The Economics of Dis
tribution.”
The highest peak of interest in the
convention is expected to be reached
Tuesday morning, however, when the
North Carolina sales tax will be dis
cussed; in an address by Dr. John T.
Burrus, State Senator from High

Point, Guilford county and one of the
.best known opponents of the sales tax
in the State. The reaction to this ad
dress is expected to indicate whether
a majority of the merchants will sup
port Dr. Ralph W. McDonald for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
who is running on an out-and-out anti
sales tax platform, or whether they
are beginning to break away from Mc-
Donald. It is known that some of the
merchants would rather keep the sales
tax than have some of the other taxes
which have been proposed as sub
stitutes enacted, but there is nothing
yet to indicate how general this re
volt is. Sentiment expressed during
the convention is expected to indicate
how the merchants now feel.
