Asked To Cooperate
The NHA campaign among consum
ers will be waged In Henderson to
morrow by groups of women workers
who have been appointed for that task
it was said today by Sam Alford,
general chairman of the sign-up drive,
who met with ward chairmen last
night and gave them final instruc
tions as to how to proceed.
A quantity of blanks to be signed
by the consumers was distributed to
the workers, and these chairmen in
t'lirn were appointing individual as
sistants today to cover assignments of
territory throughout the city in the
Canvass tomorrow.
, The consumers’ cards were sent by,
the Washington headquarters of NRA.
but it was not believed there were
enough of them to serve the full pur
pose, and more will likely be needed,
it was thought.
f An effort is also to be made to have
business concerns to sign if they‘have
not already done so. More than 170
individual concerns in this cUy and
suburbs have already signed the codes
and obtained their blue eagles and
are flying them on their places of
busines. It I s hoped that the few who
have no* done so will fall in line
within the next few days,
i One lady is chairman for each ward
itl the city has been named, and she
in turn is selecting the workers in
hf territory. In this way it is hoped
td have the entire community cover
ed in the effort to obtain consumer
cooperation in the NRA campaign.

STROKE BY CHIEF
Speed With Which Gover
nor Acted Rather Surpris
ing But Pleasing; Follow
ed on Heels of Growers*
Demands at Raleigh Mass
Meeting Thursday
Action of Governor J. 'C. B. Eh
ringhaus last night in proclaiming a
tobacco warehouse holiday through
out North Carolina found widespread
approval here today in one of the lar
gest loose leaf markets in the State.
The governor's action followed de
mands voiced by 2.000 growers in
ma3f meeting in Raleigh Thursday, in
which they demanded that he ordered
warehouses closed for the sale* of leaf
tobacco until the government could
come to some conclusions as to a I
method of raising tobacco prices for
the farmers.
The governor called upon Governor 1
Ibra C. Blackwood, of South Caro- (
lina, to follow suit, and indication*
from Columbia ioday were that he ;
would acquiesce. He was represented I
as being “inclined” to order a similarj
holiday in that State but he calledl
committees together from the tobac- |
co growing counties of his State to j
obtain their sentiments.
Warehousemen in North Carolina j
are expected to cooperate and fall in I
line with the proclamation one hun- •
dred percent, provided similar action
is taken in South Carolina. They do
not wish to close up and allow the
South Carolina markets to continue
to operate, so that growers can take
their tobacco there for sale.
Nowhere did an inquiry in the city
today meet with the slightest disap-1
proval of the governor’s course, and!
everywhere there was approval of it. I
It was felt that the action will force ;
the hand of the Federal government
in Washington and at the same time
bring pressure to bear on manufac
turers to pay more for the farmer’s
tobacco.
There was an impression here that
whatever action may be taken will
have been done by the date set for
the start of the selling season in the
Middle Belt, in which Henderson is
located, since the market here is not

Second Month of
No Fires In City
For the second month In succes
sion, Henderson had a perfect fire
record in August, without a single
fire with loss sufficient to be re
corded. it was announced today by
Fire Chief E. T. Shepherd. Now
and then the city has a month
without a fire, hut it is seldom
♦here are two such months in suc
cession .
During August there were six
alarms, and one of them a small
• blaze, bat too small to report. In
•August. last year there were six
alarms and a damage of $409).
Last month’s six alarms came in
from an oil stove, an automobile, a
radio, a defective flue, and a gas
oline fire in a city truck. . The
other was a false alarm.
to begin until two weeks hence, on
Tuesday, September 19.
Representative O. S. Falkner of
Henderson, was the author of the re
solution calling upon Governor Eh
ringhaus to close all tobacco ware
house in the State until such time as
the government could raise tobacco
prices to an average of 20 cents or
the tobacco companies raised it them
selves of their own accord. In the
general approval of the action, Mr.
Falkner was congratulated by many
friends and acquaintances on the
streets here tody. He was one of a
number of Vance county delegates to
the State mass meeting in Raleigh
yesterday, where the resolution was
adopted.

1 Samuel looketk on the outward appearance, but tho
Lord «n th- heart.’’
(The International Uniform Lesson
on David for September 3, the tenth
in a series on early leaders in Israel,
is based on I Samuel 16:1-13 and
Psalm 78:70-72, the Golden Text be
ing I Samuel 16:7, “Man looketh on
the outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh on the heart.”)
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL
Great in his piety, great in his
poetry, great in his psalms and in hie
sins, great as shepherd and as states
man, great in courage or in contri
tion, David did nothing by halves. He
is the Bible’s greatest saint ar.d one
of its greatest sinners.
The aged Samuel trembled in fear
at Jehovah’s command to go to Beth
lehem to anoint one of Jesse’s sons
to be king while Saul the rejected
king still lived. But God permitted
the real purpose of the prophet’s visit
to be hidden in the sacrifice to which
he called the villagers and in the
course of which one of their num
ber was to be anointed for some di
vine service not to be disclosed to
those who witnessed it or as yet even
to the anointed one.
Jesse brought his sons before the
prophet Samuel beginning with the
eldest, Eliab. At sight of EUab Sam
uel felt, “Surely the Lord’s anointed
is before him.” Even Samuel would
have fallen • for looks as the whole
nation had done in the case of Saul.
But personality is not solely or even
chiefly physical, but rather spiritual.
So Samuel is directed to look further
for the qualities with which God is
impressed. “The Lord said unto Sam
uel, Look not on his countenance, or
on the height of his statute; because
I have refused him; for the (Lord,
seeth not as man seeth; for man
looketh on the outward appearance,
but the Lord looketh on the heart.”
Even Jesse entertained no idea of
the fitness for God’s purpose of his
eighth son, David. He did not even
think it worth while to call him in
•from the sheep fold and from watch
ing the flocks. In his estimation i't
was all over when seven sons had
failed to qualify, until Samuel in
quired in perplexity, “Are here all
hy- children?” Then David was
brought in “And the Lord said, Arise
anohit him; for this is he... .And the

State Board of Health Expected To
Cooperate With County Board
In Selecting Successor
To Dr. White
Dr. C. H. White, who has served as
wholetime public health officer for
Henderson and Vance county for near
ly two years is to give up that work,
effective September 17, and will affili
tate himself with the Rockefeller
Foundation, he announced today. It
had not been determined whether he
would ask for a leave of absence for
a year or would resign outright.
Dr. White has been awarded a fel
lowship with the international health
division of the Rockefeller Founda
tion, and will take a nine months
course in Harvard University under
the terms of the fellowship.
Dr. James M. Parrott, secretary of
the State Board of Health, and State
health officer, is expected to coopera
tive with the Vance County Board of
Health in filling the vacancy here to
be created by Dr. White’s retirement,
and it is expected that a man will be
available to take Dr. White’s place
by the time he gives up the work
here.
The appointment to Dr. White is
one of three allotted to North Caro
lina doctors for this fellowship rela
tion in the Rockefeller Foundation,
and is considered a high recognition
of ability and efficiency.
Early man, feeling his heart beating
inevitably assumed that the sea of life
and all vital powers, including the in
tellect, is in the hear.
Spirit of the Lord came upon David
from that day forward.”
The Shepherd King
Thus “He chose David also his ser
vant, and took him from the sheep
folds; from following the ewes great
with young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his in
heritance .So ihe fed them according
to the integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skillfulness of his
hands.” Homer say, “All kings are
shepherds of the people..” This is
clearly Jehovah’s ideal, for God him
self in the person of his Son is not
ashamed to say, “I am the good shep
herd; the good Shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep.” In the schooling
of the shepherd life the king after
God’s own heart had time to meditate
“beside tire still waters.” Here the
courage of faith was born in conflict
with wild beasts and in behalf of the
lambs of the fold that prepared for
the conflict with Goliath the Philis
tine giant, in this humble calling he
cultivated the gentleness that made
him great. To this shepherd life and
its memories the prophet Nathan
went for his parable of the one little
ewe lamb to point out to the king
his great sin and say, “Thou art the
man.” From this shepherd life the
,poet-king gives us the nightingale of
the psalms, “The Lord is my Shep
herd,” a picture fulfilled only in the
son pf the '“Shepherd (and
Bishop of our souls.”

COUNTY TAX RATE
NOT FIXED AS YET
Commissioners Will Be Un
able To Act on That at
Meeting Monday
The tax rate for Vance county will
not be fixed by the Board of County
Commissioners next Monday at their
regular monthly meeting for Septem
ber, it was said today by a member
of the board. The final tabulation of
property values will not have been
learned by that time, according to in
dications today, and until that has
been done it will not be possible to
fix the rate.
There will be some odds and ends
of valuation adjustments to be ironed
out by the board next week, and that
body hopes to complete the job in
that work during the coming week.
Values are now being tabulated for
thie use ,as )the hoard and scroll
books are being worked up. It appear
ed likely that an adjourned meet
ing will be held sometime after Mon
day for the purpose of acting on the
tax rate.
The rate for county purposes other
than schools has already been fixed
by the board in the adoption of a
budget for the coming year, with a
levy for that cause of 56 cents, as
compared with 40 cents last year.
