But there Was one thing Nelly was certain of,, she would no1 let herself become a dowdy frump ir the meantime as so many of hei small town housewifely neighbors had done. Yet she must have house dresses. There were none on the' market ex cept those horrid mother hqbbard Or sack types which enveloped the house i wife of yore and turned her into a dowdy maid of all work. Nelly scratched her head— and pro duced a thought. She would find her Salpation via the remnant counter.

But let us. not forget Don before we shall done with this saga of a'lass of the rainy state. Don was the right kind of husband. He not only did not shackle Nelly and pout in the comer and say “no wife of mine shall have a career—or even bring money into! the family coffer while 1 struggle ,for,success.” He helped her.

The first mat ter taken up was the qp/Utton pf whether or not the board should vbte to liquidate the local bank of the Page Trust company or “keep! hands off” and not interfere with- thelorganiza-. tion of a. new bank here. They thought - it best not to intefere with a new1.bank opening. The county had funds in the bank end,it is expected to get the bal ance after the new bank is organized arid put id operation.

Recorder] Court is elected by the people. A bill ,■ was introduced in the last General ! Assembly to have the court abolished but-it seems that it was pigeon holed in committee. It .was found that the board can pass a resolution in six months to have the court abolished. It is/ claimed that the court isl a finan-, cial burden to the county, but it seems that it is kept pretty busy from one i to two days ini the| week. During the past few weeks the jail has been pretty well crowded with prisoners ' awaiting trial for petty crimes. j W;‘ C, JANE'S BROTHER DEAD j • ~t£’ w- L«b«, of Ocala, Fla., a! brother of Mr. W.

A num ber of the priisoners who made their escape were being held for trial charg ed with murder. Four negroes, Willie Buie, Roscoe Woodard, Cleve Southers and James Madison, made their es cape soon after midnight Saturday night by working the brick out and making a hole over a wiiidow on the upper floor of the jail through which hey crawled to freedom. Soon after hey escaped by letting themselves to he ground With ropes made from oieces of- their blankets, negro prison-? irs who did not “choose” to escape, nformed Jailer N. W.

Sheriff Ernest White and other of ficers were soon busy searching for he escaped prisoners. Reports led hem to believe that they were here n Sanford. Sheriff White caught Madison near the Sapona Mills on Tuesday. Southers was also captured and is now in jail again. The officers liave followed up everyj report and ;lue day and night, but have failed to Lay hands on Woodard and Buie it is reported- that they have hjen seen from -time to titfVe in and around San ford, but they have kept out of the way of the officers. It was reported that Buie had made the threat that he intended to kill three men because of the part they played in having him arrested after he had shot and killed H. S. Cole, a colored merchant here a few weeks ago. Woodard was with him at the time he committed the crime. Sheriff White was informed that Buie* was seen to make his way to a hedgerow in rear of Dr. J. P. Mon roe’s dwelling early Tuesday morning and conceal himself till a north-bound fre ght train came along. According to the report he caught the train in h:£* effort to make his escape. Sheriff White telephoned the officers in Ra leigh to watch for Buie when the train pulled into that city, place him under arrest and hold him till he could reach Raleigh1 and identify him.. When Sher iff White and other officers reached Raleigh they found that the officers had arrested and were hold ng three negroes. Sheriff White found that Buie was not among the number.

Just before reaching East wcvW, he saw a wagon load ot wheat stand ng on thci right of the road, and thinking he would go on by ho blew h s horn and kept on. But just beforS reaching the wagon the driver turned his team across the road, and to keep from crashing into them Mr. Groves applied his brakes which caused! his car to skijd and run up a small em bankment and turn completely . over. With the help of some men present he got out of the car, righted it up; was pushed down to a filing station, replaced the oil that had run out, and with a bent axle drove on to Sanford none the worse for his mishap except a three dollar garage bill.

BALLOTING FOR 1 DIRECTORS ENDS PAST SATURDAY Objections To Reorganization of Banks Being Raised by De positors Group. LOCAL MEN APPOINTED % I It was- hoped by thi^s time that some- j. ' 4 thing definite would have developed in regard to.the bank situation, but the thing is still \!m the air. It is stated that Gurney P. Hood, State Bank ’ Commissioner, and his a ds were the H first of the week busy tabulating" bal-" lots ot depositors of the North Caro lina Bank and Trust Company, of Greensboro, the Page Trust Company, of Aberdeen, and ,-the Independence •Trust Company, of Charlotte, who have been voting to name the four members of a board oi' seven to direct liquidati on of -the oid banks inconnec tion with the organ.zation of a new bank. ! time for balloting ended at mid night Saturday, b-ut a large ^number of ballots mailed on that day reached Mr. Hood!s 'office the first of the 'week,,AU ballots bearing,a post mark \ of June 10th., will be counted. Mr. Hood stated that thousands of ? ballots, express ng choice of deposi tors for live electors} Irom each unit of the three banks, have reached him. When the.ballots have been counted the electors will assemble in an “elec toral college” and name the four di rectors, of each oi the old banks w re present the depositors. Stockholders will have two representatives on -the beard and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation,- which has : promised to take part in the sett ng up -of a new bank, will have one. The banking commissioner pointed out that the depositors have until June 19th., to register their objec- « - tions to the proposed participation of the old banks in the new—one third of the creditor^ oi eac»b| be ngf neces- : ^ sary to block the plan. Mr. Hood said that some objection is being pr^de by some of the depositors of the North Carolina Bank and Trust Company and the Page Trust Company, but that indications were not enough, opposi tion to block the plan. However, he pointed out, the setting up of the new bank is being hamper ed somewhat in the collection of stock assessments, notice of which stock holders in the old banks have already received. The claims will be reduced to judgments if not paid by June 22., Mr. Hood said. It now looks, as if it will be some time before Sanford will get a bank. The time is short if we expect to have a bank here by the opening of the fall season.; if we have ever needed a bank we will need- it then. .The crops are earlier than usual and by the first pf. September cotton and tobacco will begin to move, in earnest. The town then should begin to recover from th§ depression and take on renewed busi ness activity. The crops are our main dependence for business this fall. Should the farmers be forced to £arry their tobacco and cotton to other mar kets the merchants at those places are go^g to draw some of their trade. In a few weeks we willl know whether or not we are to have a bank. A bill guaianteeing bank funds by the Federal Government has passed Congress. This law guarantees- bank (Continued Or* Page Eight) YOUNG DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD ANNUAL CONVENTION AT WRIGHTSVILLE JULY 8th. All persons who plan to attend -the doling Democrats’ convention at Wrightsville Beach on Saturday, July 3th., should get in touch with Jifnmie Mclver at once, so that the proper reservations may be made promptly. Mr. Mclver states that orders for ban quet tickets will be sent off the firfct >f next week and you should giye him >Tour orders before Sunday. He added -hat only a limited number of banquet .ickets will bel available, and if you ire in doubt about go ng you had bet ter go ahead and make reservations. Mr. Mclver, who is president of the bee County Young Democratic Clubs, vanted it made clear, in it written statement issued this morning, that the Wrightsville meeting was not railed for the purpose of taking ac tion on the repeal of the Eighteenth ' Amendment, one way or another. His itatement follows: “I want to make it clear that the Ifoung Democrats’ convention to be leld at Wrightsville Beach, July 8th., vas not called fpr the purpose of tak ng action, one way or another, con- j cem ng the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. As soon asi it was an nounced that Senator Reynolds’would speak, newspaper folks and- others started guessing and saying that the meet ng was called1 to launch a move ment to repeal the Eighteenth'Amend ment. This is absolutely untrue. The president of the state organization, Mr. Dewey Dorsett, has stat 'd in a public letter that no one connected with the Young Democratic Clubs had given out any statement to tiiat ef fect. The meeting is merely the re gular annual convention, and ia re quired by the Culb Constitution. - “It will, of course, be the f av.-Cge of the assembled Young Democrats to take such action about the Eighteenth Amendment as they see fit, and a re solution to put the organization 'on record for repeal might s» well < be expeeted.. However, the July meeting was called after consultation'5With State party leaders and with tW Ap proval of the Executive Committee' of the Young Democrats. Consideration of resolutions for or against repeal will be incidental business,”
