Henderson high school basketball
teams will p-lay three games this
week, two of the contests on the home
court and the other in
South Hill, Va., will bring strong
'teams here Wednesday niglh-t for
two games; Henderson will journey to
Warrenton Thursday night, and will
entertain Epsom's team here Friday
night.
Henderson opened its season here
last Friday night in an impressive
manner, dividing a doubleheader with
Ft ank'linton teams before an estimated
ciowd of between 700 and 800 fans.
The girls had little trouble in rolling
up a wide margin of victory, but the
boys were ncsed out 19-18 when Le- I
may missed two free throws, which
if garnered, would have given Hen
derson the win.
Coach Bob Harrison has a wealth of
material for his girls aggregation,
and used all of it in the Franklintoa
game.
Coach H'arl Blo3e needs a tall, ex
perienced center to pair with his
iorwaids, who h ive seep some action
on the basketball court.
Candler and Calloway make a fine
pair of guards, and He May rind Ride
out look good at forwards. Turner,
lather a small boy for the center posi
tion. is better on the cour t than is
Rcnn. a tall hoy who needs much ex
pel ienco ! : . re he can materially aid
the Bulldogs in winning cage games.
Another big turn out of fans is ex
pected Wednesday evening, and the
peak crowd of the season is expected
to .-a e the Epsom games Friday night.

futures opened • at declines of six to
12 points. Lower Liverpool cables and
selling from that source more than
offset a little trade buying in near
months. Around noon the list showed
net declines of three to nine points.
At middgy the list was eight to eleven
points net lower, with July at 7.84 and
March 8.33.
Stock Rally
Insufficient
New York, Jan. 9.—(AP) —Efforts
to rally the stock market today met
with a cool reception and leading is
sues backed down fractions to more
than two points. A selective recovery
move after the opening was short
lived, and offerings expanded suf
ficiently to speed up the ticker tape
for a while. There was a subsequent,
slowdown, but few comebacks were
in evidence near the fourth hour.
Trading forces on the whole appear
ed a bit skeptical of the administra
tion’s spending program getting thro
ugh Congress as outlined in the Presi
dent’s budget message, and talk of
“deflation” in the event pump prim
ing should be drastically curtailed
was believed to have acted as a mar
ket deterrent.
Bonds and commodities were spotty
throughout. The Paris Bourse closed
weak, but London was steady. Sterl
ing and the French Franc were off
in terms of the dollar.

the finance chairmanship going to
Cassey. Here again geography may
reverse the order, since in the senate,
where were announced
last Friday, the finance chairman is
from the west and appropriations
the east. If Fenner and Cassey
do not land the two major assign
ments, not only they but lots of oth
ers will he greatly surprised.
Chowan Man on Elections.
Probably next in importance at this
session, in view of the pending fight
on absentee law reform, is the elec
tion laws committee. It can be de
finitely stated that this chairmanship
will go to the east, and while several
names have been discussed, and it is
still almost any man’s guess, the odds
favor John F. White, of Chowan.
There is considerably more than us
ual interest in the committee on agri
culture. This is due to the fact that
the veteran W. W. (Cap) Eagles of
Edgecombe rates the appointment.
But with his fellow countyman Sena
ator Clark heading the same commit
tee in senate this assignment is ex
pected to go to the west, and there
has been pressure on Ward to have
him name Burgin of Henderson coun
ty. It is pointed out that since Clark
is a cotton and tobacco man, that it
would be well to have the house mart
represent other lines. Burgin is a
dairyman, and also grows apples and
poultry for the market. His legislative
record is good. But Mr, Ward smiles
and keeps quiet.
Judiciary No. 1 will almost certainly
go to W. T. Hatch of Wake, who has
been all along one of Ward’s most
enthusiastic supporters for the speak
ership. Judiciary 2 will go to the west,
with more guessers naming Ira T.
Johnson of Ashe than any other one
man, although that is by no means
certain.
Amendment Body Looms.
Other committees in which more
than usual interest center, because of
the pending fight on gas tax diver
sion, are constitutional amendments
and public roads. Legislators would
not dare yesterday to make a predic
tion as to who will land these places
and your correspondent is no more
desirous than they to come a cropper.
There is much sentiment among
legislators, even some of those who
supported Ward for the speakership,
that he is being too vindictive toward
his opponents. Many feel that
men with the proven ability and with
the legislative experience of Victor
Bryant of Durham, whom Ward de

—Stevenson today and tomorrow.
seated for speakership by two votes
and Major Gregg Cherry, of Gaston,
iron-handed ruler of the last House,
ought to be given important commit
tee chairmanships. But sentiment
about the capitol and hotel, lobbies
over the week-end was that Mr. Ward
is an Andrew Jackson Democrat. It
will /be remembered that a cardinal
point in the Jackson political phil
osophy v/as to the victors belong the
spoils.
Lack of Good Material.
One of Speaker Ward’s main trou
bles is that he is' poor in material.
Shakespeare is credited with saying
that they “who surfeit with too much,
are poor as they who want for not
enough.” Certainly Ward’s worry is a
plehora of material for irpportant
committees; but once again geography
• and politics both rear their heads to
plague him. He has, for instance,
Odus M. M,ull, with all sorts of legis
lative experience, a successful manu
facturer and a master farmer, who
would grace any committee in the
House. But Mull is a westerner; he
is so far as this legislature is con
cerned, a freshman, and he was a
Bryant man. Zeb V. Tqrlingtpn, also
a veteran in the long view, is a new
man so far as this session is concern
ed, and there may he said against him
the same things that apply to Mr.
Mull. Hugh Horton, the Martin vet
eran, guessed wrong on the speaker
ship and while he will be of value on
any committee, he is not expected to
land an important chairmanship.
Ward Loyal to Friends.
As stated, Libby Ward doesn’t for
get either his friends or his oppon
ents. No one charges that he would
let the State’s business suffer to
gratify his own whims, but if he can
find a man equally or almost as good
among his supporters, he is not going
to give a major appointment to any
one in the Bryant camp.
Speaker Ward’s committees may oc
casion as much surprise as did Lieut.
Governor Horton’s, and the members
from whom the foregoing predictions
have been obtained may find them
selves oilt on a limb with another man
wielding the saw. But as of Sunday
; night, this is the sentiment.
| Speakership Fight
Heads First Week
(Continued from Page One.)
only a rather unspectacular beginning
of a fight which seems - destined to
be the most pyrotechnic of the ses
rion.
The Charlotte man makes a definite
start toward revising the present sys
tem of absentee voting, but his meas
ure doesn’t go nearly so far as the
one “suggested” by the State Board
of Elections and doesn’t even half
way satisfy those legislators who are
bent on nothing short of wiping out
the absentee law root, stock and
branch.
Mr. Vogler also beat all others to
the draw and put through acceptance
of an invitation to have the Assem
bly meet for one day in Charlotte. It
was a repetition of the “junket” bill of
1937, under which Chowan’s John Fer
nado White enticed the Assembly to
Edenton.
To make an almost clean sweep of
“publicity” honors, Vogler also intro
duced a bill under which the state
would revert to the electric chair for
its legal executions.
Few Committee Surprises.
On the other side of the Capitol
naming of committees featured.
Lieutenant Governor Wilkins P. Hor
ton’s selections were for the most
part about as expected, though not at
all pleasing to some elements. Selec
tion of Graham’s Senator R. B. (Jack)
Morphew was an indication that the
legislature will, as it has been in the
habit of doing, practically nothing at
all about election law reform. Per
sonnel of the Constitutional Amend
ments group almost precludes the pos
sibility of getting a favorable report :
on the proposal to ban diversion of
highway funds.
Senator E. C. Gregory, of Rowan,
introduced a Senate bill substituting
electricity for gas as the State’s exe
cution medium. His measure differed
considerably from Vogler’s House bill,
in that the latter’s provided simply
for repeal of the act substituting gas
for the electric chair, while the Gre
gory measure would provide an exe
cutioneer at $25 per execution and a
few other new features.
Other Measures.
In the only other general bill intro
duced in the Senate, Senator A. B. Pal
mer of Cabarrus seeks a flat license
fee for passenger automobiles. Adop
tion would take something like a mil
lion and a half from the state’s an
nual revenues, it is estimated.
Brunswick’s Senator S. Bunn Frink
proposed establishment of the Jose
phus Daniel Nautical Academy of the
University of North Carolina to be lo
cated “on the coast” (he meant South
port, no doubt) as a part of the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
And that about sums up the action
of the first week, except for the in
terminable scurrying hither and yon
of the lobbyists and job seekers, with
whom (Raleigh was overrun for the
Assembly opening. Most of the lobby
ists will stay through the session—
most of the job seekers will go home
ebittered and vowing to throw their
their House and Senate representa
tives out on their ear at the very, very
first chance. *

ADVERTISING
A Service To You
Advertising renders an important service by bringing
’ to you the show windows and price tags of the nation.
In the columns of this newspaper all through the year,
you can discover ,and consider the things you want to
buy . Thus you need not search through a hundred
shops or pay more than you should.
The rule of advertising is simple. The more people
kno wabout the merit of a product, the more people buy
it. The greater the volume of sales, the less it costs to
manufacture. Savings in producing mean either lower
prices to the consumer or an even greater ,value the
next time you buy. This saves you money.
So advertising is more than a means for selling goods
it's a service to you!
