Friday’s sale was a little lower in
quality than the average for the
Mr Tankersley said, but the
better grades are in good demand and
the smoking end is still firm. A great
quantity of tips were on sale, bring
the average down slightly.
Tobacco men are of the opinion that
about half of the season's crop for
this market has been sold. Before
the sales season began last September,
it was estimated that, because of the
extremely ‘short crop. Henderson
would sell between ten and eleven
million pounds, and indications now
art that the market will certainly do
that well and probably better. Not
more than a third to half a crop is
in prospect, and much Vance county
tobacco has not yet made its appear
ance on the warehouse floors. A few
growers are understood to have al
most finished selling, but the mar
ket is expected to hit 12,000,000 to
13.000,000 pounds for the season. Mr.
Tankersley said the peak would likely

LAST THING TO DO
IS VOTE FOR WAR
Wilson's Ideal of Making
World Safe for Democracy
Best Motive For Fight;
Armistice Day Celebration
Under Legion Auspice* Is
Elaborate
In this time of great crisis, 'we will
find our ultimate security in keeping
the God of our fathers our God. and
only* as we seek to find his will and do
1t wilt we find security,” United
Senator J. W. Bailey told an
audience gathered at the Stevt?l;son
theatre late yesterday in the climax
event of the observance of the four
teenth anniversary of the signing of
the Armistice that ended the World
War.
“We are living in an hour of my»-
tety and confusion in our land,” said
the speaker, but security lies in "faith
and not in armies and navies,” and
"if we do our duty, all will be well
with us and with all who come after
us." the senator declared.
The Armistice program was in
charge and under the auspices of Hen
derson Post. No. 60, of the American
Legion, and the Legion Auxiliary, and
consisted of a parade in the after
noon. the theatre exercises, and later
a barbecue and a dance at night. Alex
i,S. Watkins, commander of the local
post, presided at the exercises, and
the speaker was introduced by D. P
MoDuffee. State senator-elect from
this district.
Though making no mention of
bonus demands, Senator Bailey said
the “soldier's reward cannot lie by
money.” The country “calls on you
•and you find your reward in what
you do for your country. You have
something of your own so superior
that we cannot compare with it who
try to do you honor,” he declared
“You gave all a human being can give,
and you should keep close to ypur
heart that which no man can cv.er
take from you. Having offered your- 1
self as a sacrifice, is better than all I
the goid in the world."
Turning to the "heroic dead," Sena
tor Bailey declared "no soldier ever
died an untimely death in battle. If
he had liverd a thousand years, he
could not have done more. He has
finished his work and hia destiny in
a perfection the like of which we who
live can* never attain.”
The senator said the soldiers who
keep guard at the tomb of the Un
known Soldier in Arlington are not'
they who watch over the security of ■
this nation, but the ashes within the |
tomb embody all that is best in the
meaning of the word “America.”
Senator Bailey appealed to citiens
to perform their duty in civilian life
in the same and noble manner as
did the soldier in the World War, and
derided the man who casts a ballot for
selfish purposes, and the office-holder
who flinches in his duty in the hope
of perpetuating himself in office
Speaking a trihuate to the soldiers
of the World War, and declaring
Armistice Day is second only, to
Christmas in its significance, the sen
ator abhorred war, and pledged that
the “last thing I am ever going to
do as your servant in office will be
to vote to cast this country into an
other war.” At the same time, he said
the history of peace is a record of
wars, out said the highest justifica
tion for war is that enunciated by
President Wilson that America was
fighting “to make the world safe for
democracy." War for po#er or for
pride is never justified, and no piece
of territory ever gained by war of that
kind is worth a single human life.
Senator Bailey declared the World

that America could fight when neces

diers w'ere the equal of any who ever

American soldiers was "the greatest
tonic our nation could have received”
and showed the human race today as
high as it ever has been. ~
The theatre program began with
the singing of a verse of “America.”
followed by the invocation by Rev. I.
W. Hughes, rector of Holy Innocents
Episcopal church. A solo. "Home,” was

conclusion of the address the audience
joined in singing "The Star Spangled
Fanner,” with J. C. Cooper leading
this and the opening song. The pro
gram ended with the sounding of
"Taps” by Ben Urquhart, director of
the 105th Medical Regiment Band of
this city.
The barbecue that followed the pub
lic exercises was in the Legion’s hall
and was attended by Legionnaires and
Auxiliary members. The dance in the
evening was declared one of the most
delightful ever had on a similar oc
casion. and lasted until early in the
