'i'be Womtn’t Mlatlonary Union o , the Fayetteville Dlitrlot Conference li being held at Camp Ground Ohuroh eight mllee from Fayetteville, thl week. The delegatee from Steeli Street ohuroh are, Mre. W. B. Boyall Mrt. Li. P. Wllklm and Mrs. B. Cole from the Woman'i Missionary Soolety and Mteaes Retha Mofitt and Glem Roes from the Alloe Green Soolety, Hilton, the young son of Mr and Mrs Chae. Campbell, of Pocket, was bitter on the inkle last Saturday by a snake He felt a stinging aeoaatlon as the snake struok him after which he see him crawl off. It was a spotted snake and It Is thought that It was a pilot, The boy’s foot was soon right badly swollen. It was given attention aftei he reached home and he was brought over to Sanford next day for treat ' ment. He has about recovered and la now little the dorse for his unpleas ant experience. We understand hundreds of orates of dewberries spoiled In the fields around Cameron on account of the growers not being able to get labor to gather them. Labor was not only soaroe, but there was an unusually large crop of berries raised. According to the state ment of the Cameron correspondent of the Mop re County News more, than one hundred and fifty oars of her ; rles were shipped from that territory. . It would be Interesting to know how much the berry crop of Lee and Moore counties brought thla year. banks and many of the shops and faq lories were closed and some of the merchants gave their salesmen a hall holiday. The postoffice kept Snndaj hours and the rural route carriers did not make the*r rounds. A few of oui people showed the patriotic spirit bj dlsplaplng flags at their homes or oe automobiles. The grand stand at the ball park was crowded late in the af ternoon with people who were out tc see the Wendell ball team go down it defeat at the bands of Hhe Sanford team. The movement which was started a tew months ago to build a new hotel in Sanford has failed to produce the . desired results, llr. W. A. Crabtree, who was made chairman of the com* mltiee appalnted to solicit stock, hae made a hard drive to get the necessary stock subscribed, but failed to get up the required amount. He requests ua to state that those who have subscrib ed stock will not be expected to pay it in as the matter has been dropped. All will agree that 8anford needs a hotel and it will be built when our people become Interested to the extent that they are willing to subscribe sufficient •took to build it. The last oar shipments of dewberrios were made from Jonesboro last week. The growers finished gathering tbe crop this week, but shipped the ber ries in small lots. As has already been stated In these columns, the crop sold at good prices and the producers re alised a nice profit from the sales. We are informed that tbe reoelpts from the crop amounted to about 980,000. This industry circulates mon ey in the community at a time when there comes in little money from oth er crops. This sum of money was re alized from a crop which grew on a comparatively small acreage. If the railroads could always Insure the prompt delivery of shipments so as to put the berries on the market in good shape, tbe industry would probably grow to proportions in the next few years.

Every family ie expected to carry a bailcet There will be a game of ball between the Sanford and Camp Bragg team* and other amuie ment*. Mr. J. McN.' Johnion and daughter, Ml** Nell Johnson,„of Aberdeen, left last week for New York, where they joined a party of half a dozen or more who sailed on a three months' tour of England, Scotland, France and other i countries across the waters. The party will be personally conducted by Mr; Johnson. Among the places of inter est that will be visited by these tour ists will be the battlefields of the World War, it will be remembered by readers of The Express that Mr. Johnson spent the summer In Scotland some four or five years ago. He wrote a series of Instructive, and entertain ing articles on his trip for The Ex* press. Readers of this paper would, read with Interest artloles by Mr., Johnson on his present trip. The United States Civil Service Com mission has announced an examination for Lee county to be held at Sanford on July 24, to fill the position of rural car rier at Cumnock and vacancies that may later occur on rural routes from other poetoffloes In this country. The examination will be open only to citi zens who are actually domiciled In the territory of a postoffice In the county and who meet the other requirements aetr forth In Form No 1977. Both men and women, if qualified, may enter the examination, but appointing officers have the legal right to specify the sex desired In requesting certification of ellglbles. Women will, not be consid ered for rural carrier appointment un less they are the widows of U. S. sold iers, sailors, or marines, or the wives 1 of U. S.

Form No. 1977 and application blanks may be obtained from the offices mentioned above or from the United States Civil Service Commission at Washington, D. C.

When Mr. R. O. Hol land moved from Greensboro to this plaoe and opened the Sanford Tire and Storage Battery Company, having learned something about wireless, be built a station In connection with his business. Mr. Holland made much of the equipment that went in his station himself. The other day just before tbe noon hour he asked us to go to his station and. hea? fbe message Bent from the government, wireless station giving the time of day, This Is done every day at noon. One can dlstUcily catch the sounds produced from the vibrations of the electric waves and one who understands wireless can read the messages sent out. Soon after the noon message is sent oat from Wash one picks up the code message mm meat to the battleship fleet and other war vessels out fet sea. As this is a secret code no one understands it ex oept the sender and receiver on the ships. At night all kinds of messages are picked up—baseball news, political news and much other news matter that interest the publio. One oan get the weather report by wireless hours be fore it is sent out froth Washington to be posted in the postofflces all over the country. Mr. Holland picks up messages from wireless stations all along the Atlantic coast from Wash ington to Key West, Fla. Often he oatohes messages from ships out on the Atlantic. The sound of the wire less message produoes a pecular sen sation to one not accustomed to hear ing it. A scene in Saflford: A wire less station receiving the news from the outside world; the sound of an air plane above; the sound of Bweet music from a phonograph near by, and tbe constant throb of the automoblee agd motor trucks as the pass. This should conVence you that Sanford is in the lime-light of this progressive and stirring age. District Conference The Fayetteville Methodist District Conference, which was held atGoidston last week, adjourned to hold its next meeting at Carthage. The closing sermon was by Rev. J. C. Cummings, of Glendon. The session, which was presided over by Presiding Elder J. D. Bundy, of the Fayetteville District, was a highly successful one from every view point. The financial record for the past year was unusually good. On Thursday every one of the 21 pastorB in the conference, repre senting as many districts, was preB A feature of the conference was the annual introductory sermon by Pastor Mann, of Roseboro. Rev. P. D. Wood all, of Pittsboro, preaohed Thursday. Rev. H, B. Porter, of Siler City, was made recording secretary. The Peach Crop in the Sandhills Mr. J. M. Leach, of Southern Pines, who spent . the week end In Sanford, tells The Express that the fruit grow ers In the Sandhill section, closed a deal for the sale of 221 oars of peaches, delivered at the oars at 13.00 per crate. It Is estimated that these peaches will bring something like $331,000 00. It le said that this is more money than the cotton, corn and all other crops raised In that entire section would have brought ten years ago. Mr. Leach also tells us of some big developments planned for that section in the near future. A year or two ago Mr. Henry Page, Jr., of Aberdeen, bought a large tract of land near South ern Pines, and reoently sold It to a company of capitalists for 0260,000.00. This company Is oomposed of some ten men of great wealth. Several of them live In New York. They propose to develop this property and build a chain of hotels and golf links. Work on this proposition is $ ‘begin at onoe. It is expeoted that dprlng the next few years millions of dollars will be spent in resort hotels on this big pur chase. The Sandhill oountry is now [ In the limelight as never before. Yourex Silver We' carry a complete line of Yourex Silver that stays bright, does not rnat or turn black like other silver.
