Mr Brummitt said Tucker was appa rently unconscious when he took hold of him in the automobile. City, county and state police re sponded to a call to the scene Late this afternoon, County Pro secutor Brooks P. Wyche swore out warrants charging Alston and Tuck er with careless and reckless driv ing and with manslaughter. Bonds for each had not been set.

His topic will be “Why Latin America Needs the Gospel.” Mr. Espinoza will leach the Ba raca class of that church Sunday at 10 o’clock, and Monday afternoon will speak before the Baptist Wo man’s Missionary Society on "Reli gious Conditions in Chile." Converted some years ago, Mr. Espinoza joined the Baptist group of Chile in the early years of mis sionary activity in that republic. He felt the call to preach while he studied law in the University of San tiago, a great national institution to which two thousand students from other countries go to study. After his graduation in law, Mr. Espinoza practiced law in the capital while he served as pastor of the growing First Baptist church of Santiago. His people elected him as president of the Chilean Baptist convention. Two years ago he came to the United States, bringing his lovely wife and two children, Edward and Edith, and has been enrolled as a student in the Southern Baptist The ological Seminary, in Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Espinoza has been study ing in the training school, and the children have been attending the elementary schools of that city. Foreign Mission board of the Bap tist denomination plans to start a seminary in Chile next year, and Mr. Espinoza will return to take up the responsibility of acting as its head, after a third session at the Louisville institution. Mr. Espinoza speaks English flu ently, and it is hoped that a large number of people will hear him in the services tomorrow. Balance Rock Opens Sunday For Season Prof. S. M. Crowder, of the high school faculty, said today Camp Bal ance Rock would open for the sum mer season tomorrow. The lake has been filled, settled and drained, and within the past few days has been filled again, with a swift stream feeding the lake at all times. * “Doc” Crowder will be manager Tor the camp this year, but will not be on duty until near the end of the coming week, because of being with the high school band on the New York trip. Bill Bryan will again serve as life guard at the camp. Chloronating solutions have been put into the waters of the lake, and it is believed that it is entirely a safe place for bathing purposes. Schedule Os Sales Mapped For Tobacco The sales committee of the Hen derson Tobacco Board of Trade met today to work out a final sales sche dule for the 1939 selling season on the tobacco market. It was necessary, it was explained, for several plans to be laid out due to the fact that the Tobacco Asso ciation of the United States has not yet met and set opening dates and limitations on selling time. But the constitution and bylaws require the local board of trade’s sales commit tee to formulate a sales card on or before July 1 each year. The sales committee consists of R. F. Thompson, chairman; A. T. Mc- Neny and C. J. Fleming. It isn’t true Europe refuses to give us anything in exchange for the v/ar debts she owes us. Europe is perfect ly willing to let us borrow trouble at any time. ilrnhrrsnn SMlgUispafrf?

Play Safe with Safety—lnsuring With Cates Insurance Agency SATURDAY, JUNE 17 1939 Allen Says Tobacco Is Normal Here Disagrees With State Department Report on Crop Condition; Look ing to Tobacco Asso ciation Convention BY FRF.D M. ALLEN, JR., Sales Supervisor, Henderson Tobacco Board of Trade. Contrary to releases sent out this week by the State Agricultural De partment that crops over Eastern North Carolina are considerably be low normal, observations by the writer in covering this territory re flect normal to better than normal conditions. Tobacco, cotton and grains have shown up unusually well up to now, and farmers everywhere are most optimistic over conditions. Tobacco in Vance and surrounding counties is advancing rapidly now, and with, the exception of slight hail damage in some sections last week, little damage has been noted over the area. Farmers have had excellent weather conditions for working and for growth of the plants. Leaves on advanced plants are filling out and very little premature budding has been noticed. With the annual meeting of the U. S. Tobacco Association only two weeks off, all tobacconists and farm ers arc anxious to see what changes, if any, will be made in selling this Fall. All Middle Belt markets are planning to send at least one repre sentative to the meeting in White Sulphur Springs, and the Hender son market is sending two delegates to represent local warehousemen and farmers,. For this reason, our next report will be sent out on Monday, July 3, and full particulars of the U. S. Tobacco Association meeting will be announced for your information at that time.
