LOCAL BRIEFS ,xoe naze term or Lae Superior Court will convene Monday, November the 8th, with Judge W. A. Devin presid ing. It will be a terra of one week. The rural publio schools of Lee coun ty will open for the fall term Novem ber 1st. A few of (he schools suppopt ed by the supplementary tax have al ready opened. A few more days and the agony will' be over In oounty, State and nation, and everybody will be glad that the matter is settled, whether they are on the winning side or not. The slump In prices is causing some of our merohantn to offer goods at greatly reduced prices. Lots of goods have been sold here during the past few days at re adjustment sales, vr The revival meeting whloh wasebn ducted by Rev. C. L. Wicker, of Gulf, and Rev. Mr. McManess, ol Goldston, at Oumook last week, dosed last Sun day night. The meeting was well at tended and much interest manifested. Miss Gertrude Little Is at Raleigh this week In charge of the home dem> castration mllinery booth at the State Fair. Mias Little was a judge at the Chatham county fair at Slier City last week. She says It was a very credlta* ble fair. The walls of the hew garage, which is being built by Mr. Frank Snipes, on Carthage street, are about completed, The building is of concrete brick made on the ground by Link Boykin. It will be a very substantial building when completed. /V We are told that more liquor Is no* ilng made In the woodn of Lee coun I t>y than In many months. Large quan tities of It Is brought to Sanford anc sold every week. It Is said that muck of it is brought in by smugglers Ir aut( mobile tires. It is also handled U fruit jars. Mr. W. W. Harrington, cottoi weigher at this place, haB ordered scales to weigh cotton, but It has no1 yet arrived, It was agreed that he should furnish the scales and the cot* ton buyers build the platform, but ai yet nothing has been done about the matter. It has not been decided where the plantform shall be located. We are informed that more long staple cotton was raised in this sectlot this year than ever before. Farmeri raised it on the strength of the higk price it brought last season. It sold for about three times as much as the short staple cotton. We are informed that there will not be that much dif ference in the price of the two staple this year, There was no preaching at th9 Pres byterlan church last Sunday. Tht pastor, Rev. W. 8. Golden, assisted b3 Rev. Eugene Alexander, of Raeford Installed Rev. C. K. Taffe pastor 0 Carthage, Union and Eureka Presby terian churches. Mr. Taffe Is a ver] able young preacher and these ohuroh es are to be congratulated upon secur ing him as their pastor. The drive that is being made to ge the women of Lee county 'registered for the November election U meetini with success, but still there are som on thail reglstra tlon books. If their names «re not pu on the books during the next two day they cannot vote It makes no dlfferenci bow anxious they may be to do bo Saturday Is the last day in whloh on< will have the opportunity to register. The slump In the price of agrloultur al products and other things doesn’l seem to effect the tourist travel. Tourists are going through Sanforc every day In large numbers. Some times a half dozen or more cars are seen to pass along together. The dual is 00 great that the tourists and theli cars are oonvered with it. If these tourists were to appear in the presence of their friends without first washing their faces they would hardly recog nize them. . a uo mercnaniB ana business people oo.Chatham street believe In keeping things clean and in order. You oao atand on.the street corner at the Bank ing Loan and’Trust Company and by looking down the street in the direot tlon of Jonesboro for some distance you will hardly see a scrap of paper. All waste paper and other rubbish is col lected and burned by people engag ed in business along that street. They have also had the street sprinkled for the past week or two at their own ex pense. If the merchants and business men on Moore, Wicker and Steele streets would do this the business sec tion of the town would be in better shape. Last week Mr. S. W. Kent, who runs a meat market at this place, butchered the largest beef he has ever handled since he has been in the market busi ness. It was a Holstein bull and was owned by Mr, John M. Mclver, of Gulf. It was four years old and weighed 1,000 pounds. Mr. Kent paid 9148 68 for the animal. He was so heavy that Mr. Kent experienced much trouble in butchering him. The hide weighed 135 pounds, the forequarters averaged 250 pounds and the hindquarters 206 pounds. The hide on hie neck and jaws was more than an inch thlok. This animal, which was as big as a good sized elephant, became so unruly that he had to be killed. He could not be kept in an enclosure when it suited him roam at will. He would even go through a barbed wire fence. The Carolina Power and Light Com pany is making a second offering of cumulative preferred stock. The stock pays dividends every three months, amounting to 97 a share efcoh year. As the price is $100, this is 7 per cent on the money Invested. One of the fea tures of the arrangement is that through a partial payment plan sums ae small as 95 month may be invested. Believing that the dlvldens on its pre ferred stock should be distributed among those who support the oompany and those who operate it, the policy of the oompeny is to establish partnership relations with its oustomers, employes and other residents of the towns and cities whloh It serves. The oompany is glad to have a large number of small •tppkholders. Those purchasing on |he Installment plan may withdraw, if they wish, at any time before making the final payments and reoelve the money they paid in with 0 per oentj interest, - V_ j s Mr. W. A, Self, one of the Demo oratlo eleotor*-et large, will apeak In the graded aohool auditorium at Jonea boro Friday night at 7:80. Mr. Self la one of the beat apeakera In the State and should hare a full houae. Ladiee, as well as men, are urged to go out and hear him. mr. w. r. LiOya, or toil county, has engaged In furnishing crop reports (or the North Carolina Department of Ag riculture this year, and (or his efficient service In this work, has been awarded, along with twenty-nine other farmers of the 8tate, a ticket to the State Fair grounds at Raleigh this week. There were 300 farmers engaged In this work and the thirty out of this number that furnished the best reports were award ed tickets, Mr. Loyd has a very fine exhibit of twelve ears of corn at the fair this week. We doubt If there is a better exhibit of oorn at the fair. The Greensboro News states that Mr. Donald Molver, of Ocafa, Fla., who has been visiting relatives and friends In that city, had his pockets rifled at the fair grounds ihere on last Thursday afternoon and a $3,000 note removed from them. At least, he says he had the note In his pocket when he entered the fair grounds and missed It when he came out, and he has little hopes of ever recovering It. If Mr. MoFver Is a bit superstitious he will probably hereafter give Greensboro a wide berth during fal? week. While he was in that city at the fair a year ago he had a similar experience. His pockets at that time were robbed of $6,000 In money, notes and bonds, and all that he ever recoved was an empty pocket book, which was dropped on the street. Two Seaboard Air Line engineers were arrested by police officers here Friday, carried beiore Mayor Howard and fined for exceeding the speed lim it In running their trains into town. A few months ago the Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance making six miles an hour the limit for running trains Inside the c rporate limits of the town^ These were the first arrests made uni; der this ordinance. This ordinance was passed to eliminate, aB much as possi ble, the danger at crossings. Some time ago the board tried to get the Seaboard to install safety gates at the crossings. The railroad finally induc ed the board to accept a compromise and watchmen were stationed at the crossings. These watchmen have had trouble in stopping people from driving over the crossings in front of approach ing trains, and the engineers failed to observe the ordinance against speed ing their trains over the crossings. Hence the decision of the board to en force the ordinance. Although north? bound pasoenger train No. 12 was run ning about three hours late Friday, Police Officer Turner forced the train to remain here along enough for the engineer to go with hina to the mayor’s office and pay the fine and costs. Since then the engineers have been more oareful In handling their trains while pulling through the town. Tuberculosis Clinic For a long time workers engaged In ( the fight against tuberculosis have • realised that early diagnosis is the most Important step In the cure of the 1 disease. / ^ cur LLko mail six yearn » uuuiu been held at the State Sanatorium every morning, Sunday excepted, be tween the hours of eight and eleven a. m., where residents of North Carolina could be examined for tuberculosis without oharge. The services of this clinic have been sought by such a large number of people that It became necessary to require an appointment for examination as only a limited num ber oould be examined each day. In order to provide an additional op portunity for fiee examinations for those desiring it, the State Board of Health, the American Red Cross gtd the North Carolina Tuberculosis Asso ciation are cooperating by holding diagnostic clinics at any point In North Carolina where bIx or more desiring an examination can be gathered. The Clinic Physician, Dr. J. L. Spruill, 1b furnished by the North Carolina Tu berculosis Association. He is a skilled tuberculosis dlagonstlclan having been for three years clinician for the State Sanatorium. The nurses are furnish ed by the State Board of Health and i the Amerloan Red Cross, and have a wide experience In public health nurs ing in the State. Since May this year clinics have been held in Burke, Edgecombe, Mad ison, Swain and Washington counties, and In the cities of Ashboro and Spray. During these cllnios 721 examinations were made, of this number 248 were found to have tuberculosis. One hun dred and seven showed signs but had □o definite symptoms and further ex amination by the aid of the X-Ray and tuberculin test9 were advised. Three hundred and forty-eight were found to be free of the disease: Towns and counties desiring to hold clinics may secure appointment by ap plying to the North Carolina Sanator lum, Sanatorium, N. C. Reason Why the Price of Cotton Should Advance The 1920 crop is the sixth short crop that the world has had. This in itself is a sufficient reason for a high price on cotton. Further more, most of the cotton held over from last year is extremely low grade cotton. Much of the cotton this year is of a Ipw grade, and much of it will be left in the fields. In fact, because of the very low price of the inferior grades of cot ton and the high cost of picking, a great many farmers are leaving this in the fields. This will reduce the estimate on the 1920 crop by many hundreds of thousands jit bales. The low temperature and early frosts will also reduce the cotton production for 1920. Aside from the fact that the cost of producing the 1920 cotton crop has been esti mated to be 40 cents or more, and that the Southern planter is entit led to at least the cost of produc tion, there are many reasons why his cotton should bring this price or more. Above all, the spinndrs ■ can afford to pay 40 cents a pound for raw cotton and still make a profit and allow a reduction over former prices to the consuming ! public. i MB AND ENJOY is Dream and Her Dream” Given by the Senior Class of the Sanford Graded School at the West Build inn Friday, Oct. > 22nd, 8:80.
