The Methodists nod the entire- town trnet that the North Carolina Confer ence will eeod a along preacher to this* aharge. It deserves the- cars best tal ent the Conferencehas ioKjy, Not only the members Metho dist phurch, but the people ofi.flotber denominations In the town wfil regret to see Mr. Royal! and his meat exoel lant wife leave. Mrs, Boy all has not only furnished great Inspiration to her husband In bis work.-but has endeared Trustees ot City Schools Purchase Site for New Building At a recent meeting of the Board of Trnatees of the Sanford*Graded Schools a deal was blosed for tha purchase of a lot for a new school building! As the renders of The Express will recall, after some agitation, a bill was introduced in the Inst General Assem bly providing for the hiding of an election to vote on the question of Issuing bonds for the establishment of a central high school In Leo county, bat for some reason this bll{ failed to pass. It waa realised that’ something had to be done to relieve the congested and erowded condition of both the San ford and Jonsboro Graded Schools, Those who ore In position to know hove realised for the past four or five years that st^s would have to eventu ally be takemto furnish Increased facil ities for taking csrwof the overflow of the schools. From year to year there has been a gradual lno eas In the the number of ohildren entering the schools until It Is now Impossible to properly* carry on the work without more room. To give yon some Ideas* the problem that .Superintendent Teague has to face in handling the situation, we would state that one grade has to be taaght In an old dilapidated building which years ago was used ns n bakery. It la a very undesirable building In which to oarry on school work, bat it was the beat that oonld be bad. /We understand tbat there are 55 pnplla In one of the high school grades and the room In whloh they aye taught Is so crowded that some of the pupils have to sit next to the walls In Chairs, tome of tha grades have tq be taught In the after noon as there Is no mom for the pupils of these grades In the buildings In the morning. Other grades are badly erowded. One can readily, sea that it ts Impossible for tha teaohers and pa nils to do their best work under con ditions as hers ptotured. Realising that tha only way to remedy the matter was though the construction of another school building, tha Board ot Trns toes deolded to buy the ibt now and build at soon aa bonds nan he Issued for the oonstrnotioo’of the building. The lot, wbioh Is 308s4S0 feet, facet Steele street and la bordered by Steele, Washington and Weatherspoon streets. It is conveniently located for all that aeotlon of town, looludlog the ootton mill aeotlon. The other two buildings are well located to take oara of tha oth er ssotloos of tha towo. iom la atatlnotly a progressive atop tii lha developing prooaaa of oar grow* lac town. ■ All will acres that our beat aaaet It not oar faotorlet. mllla, atoraa and banka, bat our 800 to a-1,000 hhlldren.

In fact It la the only way we oan do It at the money la not available from any other soureS.

PAST YEAR NEXT TO BEST YEAR Local Baptist! Add Goodly Number to Membership of Church and Sunday School and Make Liberal Contribntiona 'i jo Cburdh Causes—Ready for the State ■ Convention .• \ ■ The niepty-first annual session of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention will be held at Rocky Mount next week, beginning Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 and continuing until noon Thursday. This will perhaps be the shortest session of the Convention ever held, but by no means the least important. The matter of entertain ment of so large a body has become guch an acute problem that the pro gram committee was forced reduce the time of session. */•'-. According to^jthe report bf Sec retary Chas. R. Maddry, which has just been made known, the Baptists in the State have had a greaf yedr. Dr. Maddry’s report shows that North Carolina Baptist have contributed during tbe> year^t© all the objects fostered by the Convention $924,145.-1 49>->In view of the financial depres- j sion during the past year, this is con sidered a mo^t remarkable showing, j Of this amount the Thomasville Orphanage 4^received $145^446.51. Besides this, the Baptists in the State ] contribvfflfed* through* their -Foreign! Mission Board for famine Relief j $51,463.63, which is. not included m \ the above figures. North Carolina's quota to the 75 Million. Fund is $lr | 228,000 per year. It! will be sjoted i therefore, that all' the pledges have j been paid in full this year, but last year they were overpaid, and that almost.balance 'the * deficit Of this year. It is thought tjjat. bjr the end of the five year*period the full quota will be met. * / The past year has been one of the best the local Baptist congregation has ever had/ In spite of financial depression the contributions ef this church which ran beyond $8,OfiG.OO fell only a few dollars short ©£ last year, which waS its pest. Sixty-five new members, yfere added to the church during the year,-making now a total membership of abbot 400. The largest growth has been in the §uftday u School, which has an average attend-1 ance of about ^75,J$ I , \ Among those who will attend the ‘ Convention. fron^-tbis place will be = Mr.E.

K. Clements of the Orsjln ance department and representing Sec retary Weeks of the war portfolio, in President Harding's cabinet. Major Clements spent the 4*7 here discussing this proposal with repfe sentativewbf the Southern Power Com pany, the Carolina Power and Light Company and many large consumers of power. He is making up the report on which Mr. Weeks will form his decision which is so important to the manufac turing interests of the four States tra£ versed by tha .lines of the Alabama!; j Power Company, the Georgia Hallway and Power Company and the Carolina Power and Light Company. Major Clements has of course given no intima tion of hie report. He left on the mid night train (orCharlotte whqye he will dlscuaa more in detail the questions taken up here yesterday and wilt prob ably continue his inquiry to Sheffield, the site of the b|g steam plant. As previously announced In the State paffere, the Alabama Power C mpany made a p*q^>eal to lease the govern ment's steam planr at Sheffield, now idle. The purpose oJ the proposed lease is to assist in relieving the general power shortage which exists In pertain sections of the southeast, and the War Department is investigating the pro posal with the view of determining whether the emergency of the altuatloi warrants a lease of ^his steam driver electric plant at this time* 9 Major Clejnents- conferred yesterdad especially with the Carolina Power and Light Company and Its olleote affecttcf by the shortage on Its system, the purl pose being-the determination of thf affect on the recent power curtailment on industry and particularly Us effec| In the employment of labor. It developed at the conference thd while the loss to industry due to tbif ourtailment has been great, \he mo J serious factor in the situation has beel Its effeot on the employment of workeifl and the loss of time by mlUs and oth^ industries employing large numbers * operatives. It was deelared that a proxlmately 12,000 have been throw out of employment for two to tbri lays each week during yhe months September and Ootober, with a epos quant heavy loss of wages. It is on aboount of this general pow shortage which has been felt in oth sections.of the Southeast as well as Alabama, that the Alabama Pow Company made Its proposal to lease t Sheffield plant. Other companies In vldually interested are the Georj Railway and Power Company, the O ambus Power Company and the Ca Una Power and Light Company. Mu Glemehts In making his Investigate has previously visited Birmingham a Atlanta and it is said that he will pr sbly make his report to Seoreti Weeks within ten days. The Sheffield plant is near the A »ma coal fields and engineers deal ihal the difference between the cost mat here and at Sheffield will tx ban make up the loss incident to ransmtsslon of neany 1,000 mile *ews and Observer, fitn. - fc" SANDHILLS FAffi WILL OPEN NOV, 16 of Entertainment and Excellent Ate fe-oltetl—Dimdy Berkshire Plbhtf&rst, Nov. 5 —The seventh'ab nuaftfandblU fair will be held at Plne hursf on Wednesday, Thursday and 6Vtda}t.

McBryde has arge of the work. As to a Joint Community Fair Flans have been discussed by those ; specially interested in tbe success of ’ the community fairs this fall for holding a meeting at Sanford in the near future to discuss the question . having a Joint Ooi munity Fair at some central point next year. The plan as suggested is to hare the different organised communities “carry on’ their fair plana as at ioioo 1.U011 uiuuey oy enter taiuments and social gatherings, as this year, and on a certain day gather their exhibits at the school ' house and have a committee in charge to take them to the Joint Community Fair. Communities could compete with other communi ties as a whole and individuals could also compete as individuals. People from unorganized communities will also be eligible, but it is hoped by this plan to bring more interest in I the fairs all over the county and, to encourage the spirit of competition ' and friendly rivalry that tends so i much toward improvement and pro gress. It has been suggested to I secure ah enclosure and charge an a entrance fee. This will help defray t expenses and allow more generous prizes than otherwise would be pos- / sible. Think these suggestions over and :ome to the meeting that will be jailed shortly with any suggestions ;hat will be helpful in organizing a Joint Community Fair for next mar. Gertrude V.
