From distances, which must have known the bustle of activity I hours earlier, many came with their jcrop to the market, arriving bright l and early. Warehouse floors were filled to capacity. Still the crop came on. The offerings were sold at Centre and then the buy's ers moved on to Boyd's where their h big house was full to the brim and 0 overflowing. Late in the afternoon 5 and back to Center. The market had a banner day. Farmers were here from every a township, it seemed, and they were joined by producers from neighbor: mg counties and the State of VirE ginia. Their produce was handled ; deftly and the sales moved smooth; ly, but it was late afternoon before E buyers could have a chance to bid upon what had been offered in early morning. Monday's sale seemed to be generally satisfactory. There were numbers upon numbers of farmers e who expressed their pleasure. Sales s during the remainder of the week e have not been as heavy and the t types of tobaccos offered have not , > been, buyers say, as good as the " first day of the week. ( e The local market has sold more than twice the amount that it had e last year at this time, and the gen- i eral marketing conditions are meeting with wider approval, t W. W.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.?Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, announced, in the Senate today that President Hoover wanted the tariff bill passed as soon as possible and urged that all factions approach the subject in a conciliatory manner to see that it is done. Watson, who is preparing to leave for Florida for his health and to relinquish temporarily his lead- , ership to Senator Jones of Washington, arose at the outset of the Senate session and told of a conference he had ai the White House 1 last night with the President at which Senator McNary, Republican, Oregon, also attended. Mr. Hoover, Senator Watson said, is anxious that the tariff bill be passed as part of his special ses- 1 sion program which called for farm * relief through a marketing act and ' tariff legislation. Watson said he had not asked ' the President if he would sign the tariff bill in its present form or wherther he' would make any con- ' cessions to the Republican Inde- ! pendent-Democratic coalition pro- ; gram. He added he had no idea ' what Mr. Hoover would do with ' the measure but insisted the chief j executive was "anxious" to have tariff legislation. "When we finally get this bill into conference with the House then and then only can we consult with Mr. Hoover on the legislation," he asserted. Methodists Observe Week Of Prayer ? ?
