It grew 14 dis tinct tops. This Mg turnip was the Southern Pride variety, and grew to this enormous:size since the land was prepared Tor tobacco. This demon strates the fact that Mr. Brown can grow big turnips in the summer as well as in the fall. Mr. W. F. Wood,'who wiil have charge of the upper tobacco warehouse the coming season, has succeeded in arranging to have Mr, J. K. Hughes return to Sanford this fall and represent the Imperial To bacco Company.

They saw fine crops in some of the sections through which they passed. They had a mose delightful sojourn on the coast eating sea food and taking the daily dip in the briny deep. We have never seen the time when there was as much fruit and vege tables on the Sanford market for sale as at present. Great loads of all kinds of produce come -in. not only from a distance, but it is grown this year in great quantitiesi within a few miles of Sanford. The,quality of fruit and vegetables put on the mark et shows that the farmers and gard ners are taking more pains in select-' ing seed and cultivating the crop. This means better prices for their pro duce as people are willing to pay more for a good article. In proportioning school funds at Raleigh this week to the several coun ties, Lee draws $4,362.91 as its part.

Mr. J. R. Ingram, accompanied by Mrs. Ingram went to W rightsVUle Beach last week to attend a meeting of the officials of the 57th District of Rotary International, as a delegate from the Sanford Club. He tells The Express that it was one of the best meetings of the kind ever held in the State* ana thatf a moat, fcteresting program was carried out in detail. Much business of importance connect ed with this great international org anization was transacted during the two days’ meeting, Thursday and Friday. Many .prominent Rotary of ficials from this and other States and even other countries were present and took part in the deliberations of the meeting; a One of the most exciting experienc es that Dr. J. F. Foster has had since he first began practicing medicine, was when he witnessed Cy Davis, an eld colored man, faint while in a tree in the back yard at his home on Gulf street last Thursday. He had Davis cleaning up his premises and putting things around his home in order. There was an old dead tree on his lot which he wished to have cut and re moved. He had Davis climb the tree for ths purTy>°® of onttinc off the up per part at it first. WRen -it was ready to fail Dr. Foster told Davis that he would pull; the top with a tope which he had tied around the tree. uavis torn nun tnai ne ieit jueer, and becoming blind he fainted. He fell over the limb, his legs being locked around the tree. Dr. Foster, realizing that something had to be lone or the old darkey might fall and be killed. He ran to the nearest fire box and called up .the fire department. But before the fire department reach ad the scene he climbed the tree, and lifting Davis up, tied him hard and Cast to the tree with a rope. He was taken down and by applying restora tives, he was soon restored to normal condition. The few minutes that Dr. Foster spent in that tree convinced him that he could never become a “tree setter.”,.

WLeeting the Needs of MLiltfons of People J Tkm lomprictd automobile hat brought greater opportunity *ddod hour• of recreation to millions of men and isomen. BECAUSE the automobile is such an im portant factor in the lives and pros perity of so many people, the purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more than the mere manufacture of a motor car. ITiere is no service in simply setting np a machine or a plant and letting it turn oat goods. The service extends into every detail of the business — design, production, the wages paid and the sell ! ing priest. All are a part of the plan. The Ford Motor Company looks upon i itself as charged with malting an anto ! mobile that will meet the needs of ! millions of people and to provide it at a law price. That is its mission. That is its duty and its obligation to the public. I The search for better ways of doing things is never-ending. There Is cease less, untiring effort to find new methods and new machines that will save steps and time hi manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a great mechanical uni versity, dedicated to the advancement of industry. Many manufacturers come to see and share the progress made. The greatest progress conics by never standing stiH. Today’s methods, however successful, can never be taken as wholly xnent in llic methtf
