A WHITE WAYSYSTEM
Committee To Meet Again
A* Soon. As Definite In
formation Is Had
Committees in charge of plans for
staging the white way celebration
here are pushing ahead with their
work, although in some measure
marking time until they can be ad
vised definitely of a date for the com
pletion of the installation of the
white way equipment, it was said to
day by M. C. Miles, general chair
man of the program.
It is understood an enginer of the
Carolina Power and Light Company
will be here tomorrow or Wednesday,
and that he will b e able at that time
to say just when the committee can
fix a date for its celebration and be
assured that the work will be finish
ed by then.
The delay is affording opportunity
for committees heading the various
as to plans, so that they will be abh
better to proceed when the next meet
ing is held, probably the latter part ol
this week.
Indications now are that the cele
bration cannot be held before the mid
dle or latter part of next month. l'L
is considered essential that the actual
date shall be known before procedure
can go much further in making the
plans A name for thw celebration
will also be agteed upon, and when
these two matters have been detci
mined, work is to bo pushed with ai
possible speed. A numbr of promin
ent public officials of the State who
are to be invited here for the event
cannot be asked to set aside the date
Oil then* engagemnt list until the date
is definitely known.
a SsLARGE CUI
Middle Belt Yield Forecast
As Being Good To Ex
cellent Quality
The flue-cured tobacco crop in this
belt “is expected to be of good to ex
cellent quality” this year, according
to the Federal governments crop re
has just been issued. The report cov
porting forecast as of August 1, which
ei-s most of the tobacco growing area
of the country a swell as this belt.
Production of tobacco as a whole
this year in the United States was es
timated at 1,042,942,000 pounds in the
Department of Agriculture report, an
increase of about 3,100,000 pounds over
the estimate a month ago but still
more than 300,000,000 pounds below
last year's crop.
Th eestimate of flue-cured produc
tion was 527,361,000, pounds, compar
ed with the July estimate of 526,643,000
and the 1933 crop of 737,703,000 pounds
In spite of the slight change in the
estimate of total fluecured yield, there
was consiwerable difference in the es
timates for the various types. Fig
ures for eastern North Carolina type
12 dropped about 7,000,000 pounds be
cause tobacco in this district was
found to be curing out light.
Drop In Ohio Valley
Drought in Missouri and in counties
near the Ohio river was credited with
a drop of more than 3,000,000 pounds
in the burley crop estimate from the
July forecast ol 280,226,000 pounds.
Moderate increases over July esti
mates were indicated in fire-cured
types, the total production being esti
mated at 112.996,000 pounds compared
wi'h 133,363,000 pounds last year.
Much of the tobacco report was de
voted to the flue-cured types.
"A crop of good cigarette type to
bacco is in prospect,” the report said,
“subject, however, to possible distribu
tlon of late primings resulting from re
cent rains,
“In; the middle and old belt of type
11 much of the crop is expected to be
of good to excellent quality. Local
areas, however, show the effects of
bail and drought during July. Stands
in type 11 and 12 show an unusual de
gree of uniformity, but lac kof body
seems to characterize the crop.”

just 20 years. And ther are many
others that have come into existence
during that period. This issue will

The pistol wound is not believed to

Board Intends To Have
Facts, When It Acts;
Plans Have Been Drawn
* The work of compiling data on vari
• ous sites in the city offered for the
location of the new high school is still
in progress, and careful surveys are
1 being made of each project, so that
full information may be available for
the city school board when it meets
to take action in the matter.
The new building is being plotted
on all the proposed sites, and the ap
pearance on each will be easily de
termined when all these facts are
available, together with the amount of
land remaining for use for an athletic
and recreation ground, E. M. Rollins,
school superintendent, said today.
A government engineer was here
today in conference on the building
program, and Mr. Rollins said h e stat
ed that it would require something
like 15 months to build the high
school after work is started, and that
it will be impossible to hold the com
mencement exrcises in that building
next May, as had been hoped.
The contract with th e Public Works
Administration for furnishing the
money has never been sent from
Washington, and after that is receiv
ed it will be necessary to advertise the
bonds for sale, it was said.
Much customary government "red
tape’’ will be encountered in handling
the details, it is said, and the school’s
board’s seeming delay In deciding on
a location is not delaying the con
struction program at all, it was ex
plained.
RUSSELLBRIERS^
Pleases Crowds At Both Per
formances; Has Number
of Star Acts
Russell Brothers, the first circus to
visit Henderson during the 1934 sea
| son, gave two performances at the
Souht William street show grounds
I Saturday afternoon and night, both
being fairly well attended by circus
fans in this section.
{ The show was unusually large con
sidering the fact that it was travel
ing on trucks through the country, and
its program was one of the best had
here for sometime. Much comment on
the quality of the show was heard fol
lowing its presentation,
j Among the high class acts presented
were the Flying Lavans, casting re
turn aerialists. Their dare-devil swings
in the aid kept the fans on’ the edges
of their seats as the men “on the fly-
I ing trapeze” swung back and forth
way up underneath the biy top.
The Riding Rooney’s, a bareback
act received much applause. Ted
Rooney, the clown of his outfit, prpov
ed himself to be ore of the best of
riders. He kept the fans in an uproar
at all times during the act.
The real star of the circus was Miss
Athleta who did her difficult somer
sault, catching by her heels on her
trapeze.
Clowns and everything else that
goes with a well balanced cirucs pro
gram were had by Russell Brothers
and those attending were very much
pleased with the high character of the
performance.
