THRTY CARS PEACHES SHIPPED OVER ATLANTIC AND WESTERN Mafty People jftsit Orchards and Return Home Loaded *With Fruit— Prices Not S^usfac 'tory to Growers. The movement of the main crop bf peaches from the Sandhill region of I.ee, Harnett, More and Richmond counties began the last week in July and will continue till after thei mid dle of August. Georgia Belles, El bertas and Haies are the principal va lieties on the market at this time; The growers in the sandhills are issu ing invitations to the public to visit the orchards and get their canning fruit. If we are to judge by * the number of cars going through San ford from all parts of the statep car rying one or more bushels of peaches, they are accepting this invitation. Many" trucks loaded with peaches also pass through almost every hour of the day. me express is liuormtja urn nun. dreds W-hUshels of inferior peaches have bt^en hauled to the woods and buried by some of the orchardists in ' Moore county. Some of these] are not even fit for canning. lip to Tuesday 30 car loads of peaches were shipped over the Atlan tic and Western Railway from lower Lee and upper Harnett and deliver ed to other roads for the Northern markets. One car load was shipped out Tuesday from the orchard of So - licitor C. Li Williams near Jonesboro „ and the other 29 cars were from orch ards near Iillington. Som$ of the • 'I ’- best peaches -raised in • . Harnett brought $1.50 per crate; last week Some of the best peaches raised hi ^ > the county were from the orchards in Harnett county. As about half of the crop has been gathered, it is ex pected that 60 cars will be shipped <wer the Atlantic and Western. Four ' cars werej shipped from the orchard of. I* WilWiw last v?eek- Other, • cars are going north from his orch ard this week. He has some of the finest peaches raised In. the peach. _. belt .and will, no dopbt Mb-lbe:. be$t . priees offered.. peach man who; has followed the crop through Flor - % ida, Georgia and North Carolina, says ' ■ the best peaches he has found this .year were raised in ijge and Harnett , - counties. A peach dealer who bought' a crop of about 800 bushels of peaches ' from an orchardist in Moorej county, is selling them at 25c a bushel on the trees. He has lost big money. As the Georgia peaches have about all been shipped it is thought that the marke will advance in a few days and that the North Carolina growers will get better prices for the crop. - TEN CASES TRIED BY RECORDER’S COURT MONDAY Ten cases were triqi in the Re corder’s Court at the court House last Monday. Most of these were petty cases and fines and court costs were imposed as punishmejnt. One or two were given road sentences. This makes 40 cases tried at the three ses sions of the recorder’s court hqld. So far the fines have paid the expenses of holding the court. It is thought that with a recorder’s court every Monday the jail can be kept clear of prisoners and the criminal dockets for the Superior Court will be light. HIGH SCHOOL BOY CROSSES CONTINENT.

OLD BRICK BUILDINGS Places Where Flourishing Busi ness Was Conduted in Form The Scott old building on the cor ner of- Wicker and Moore - streets, which was remodeled a few years ago, the Wieatherspoon building, at the foot of Hawkins Avenue, the building in which the Express is published, on Charlotte Avenue, and the San ford Cotton Mill building and com pany store are the five oldest brick buildings in Sanford. They werej con structed at a time when there were very few brick manufactured in this section. In fact back in those days there was only ong brick mill in inf near Sanford. Now, there are some five or six brick manufacturing plants within a few miles of Sanford. These plants have the reputation of making as good brick -as can' be manufactured in North Carolina. Thg Express is, informed that they' sell the brick about as fast as they-can make them. They have the best clay or shale that can be fonnd in the State for making brick. t - Last week The Express stated that; the-. Weatherspoon old building had been leased by James Riley far a term of years and would be convened into a filling station, paint shop and storage building. We understand Mr." Riley expects to make the second story of the building a rooming house. This was the'second brick building constructed in Sanford and for a number of years was owned by the late firm of McPherson & Weather spoon, who, at one time did a big. 0ry goods business in Sanford. It was one of the best known firms, in this part of the State, ’this firm did a flourishing business' here at the time the foundation, was being laid far greater Sanford. Various activities' have been carried on in this building since its original owners quit busi ness. It was considered the best store building in this section 30 years ago. The floor was taken up in the main part of the building the first of the Week end, the work of remodeling the structure will be pushed to comple tion. If^e^liSth Artillery which was org anized in this place a' few months ago with Dan B. King as rapjtain, will leave with about 60 men in ranks for camp next Sunday morning. The company is equipped and in good shape and it is expected that it will make a good showing at Port Bragg during the two weeks that it will be in camp. Three of the heavy guns have bqen sent and the fourth one will be carried along with the camp equipments. These guns will be used for drilling and target practice by the regiment of which the Sanford unit is a part. Thi3 will be a ndv and novel ex perience for many members of the Sanford unit who have never seen military service. FAMILY REUNION OF MR. AND MRS. C. H. WICKER.

POPLAR SPRINGS CHURCH CELEBRATES HUNDREDTH YEAR OFFICERS CAPTURE STILL AND KEG OF LIQUOR Sheriff Sam Womble, Deputy D. M. Covert and Jailor ft. M. {brooks went on a raid last Friday and captured a blockade still in East Sanford township about 2 1-2 miies /from Sanford. They failed to get the worm and cap. The still was made of two tin tubs welded togeth er. They found no liquor and the fclockader was absent on other bus iness. The .officers destroyed three barrels of beer. They b rough in the still so that it could be reduced tc junk. ! The same officer?, went to rhe home of Wes Carrol, a notorious 1 b'ockader, who is now serving time or the roads of Durham county, up on the charge of making and selling liquor, and found a keg of liquor 160 steps from his house in West San- ! ford township last Saturday. The liquor was concealed under a lot of brush and other things. The offi cers waited for some time for Mrs. Carroll, who was away from home at the time the raid was made, hop ing that upon her return they would have an opportunity of searching . the house, but she failed to “show j Up.” Her son was at home at the time, but the officers thought it best not to search her house in her ab sence. During the short time they spent there, 15 people visited the place, each one offering some ex cuse as to why he visited Mrs. Car roll's at that time. Only 5 of the 15 were negroes. Sheriff Womble had the liquor brought to the court house and pour ed into the gutter. Sighs, groans and lamentations went up from those who looked on as our “dry” sheriff Staged ' this demonstration which I .seemed well nigh unpardonable to 1 them. TO. PREACH.
