Did we rotate thus far from the original subject of Louis Graves and the "immortal signer, William Hoop er?” Well, it's our guess he must have told someone—for few would have time nowadays to look it up— and I, for one, would not be the least h t annoyed if he did openly claim kinship.

PROPOSE 4 MH^L HOUSE Last Thursday h'gbt the board of dl rectors of the Sanford Business Asso ciation met at the home of Dr. F, W. McCracken to elect a president mid transact other business connected with the organization. The board by a unaninous vote elected T. S. Cross, president. E. M. Underwood,1 Jr., was elected secretary at the. meeting of the (association at the Wilrik Hotel the week before. The board read a re. port by Dr. J. F. Foster, who had been fade chairman of a membership com. rnittee, appointed a; the meeting in which the organization was effected. H s report showed1 the names of IC? paid new members. The'members oi the board discussed the question oi organizing a bank in Sanford. Be fore adjournment it was deckled tc hold a meeting at the- Wilrik Hotel Monday night to further discuss ths question. **• This meeting was held as scheduiec and was attended' by a representative body of citizns of the town. The quei tioh of organizing a bank by ra’sing stock among the citizens of the towr was dscussed at length. Presicfcn • Cross got an expression from ever; } man present as to how they fV-lt abou '- inaugurating a movement, to build : “bank w th funds subscribed in thi The sentiment in favor of citizens Of the town ! ed that that is the only way the tow can get a bank. A committee wa appointed whose business will be t canvass the town and see vnat caique done in the way of raising stock ^or the proposed bank, and report at a cit zens meeting which will be held at the City Hall tonight. A banker from another town who was present made a talk in favor of organizing a blank with local cap'tal. He stated-that he would be glad to come to Sanford, make his home here and take stock in the bank. He ex pressed the opinion that a locally owned bank would appeal to the peo pie more and stated that unless the bank had the confidence of the people of the town it would be hard to make a success of it. After the meeting had adjourned a meeting of the merchants and other business men was called for the pur pose of making plans for putting on the code by the bus ness people and manufacturers of the tow-n. A. K. Miller, who presided over the meeting, read a letter from Gen. Johnson, in Washington, giving instructions as to how th code should be put on. The publicity committee was asked to issue posters advertising the mass meet.ng which will be held tonight. Everybody is invited to attend this meeting an.-4 do everything possible to encourage the movement for a new bank. The plan is to get th's bank organized and ready for business before the cot ton and tobacco markets open the first of the fall. Rotary Meeting The Rotarians met Tuesday evening with the Jonesboro Grange. The meet ing was at 6:30 at Worthy’s Pond and a bount'ful and del’cious supper was served by the ladies of the Grange A number of the Grang'ers and their wtves were present. Rev.

Mr. Frew and by Pres dent White, who expressed tlie pleasure of the Rotarians for the supper and the opportunity to meet With their nearby friends. Mr. E. O. McMahan made a short speech. Mr. J. E. Adams, master of the Grange, wel comed the Rotarians and invited them back again. Myron Underwood invited the crowd to cpme to the bank meeting at San ford Thursday night and bring their ; fiends. The Rotarians counted it a pleasant gathering and hope to meet a number of their neighbors in the i. near future in other sections of Fee county. * What About You? 1|4e Express is informed that "? tlfers are a few business concerns in Sanford that have failed to sign up arid do their part to wjaice' the NBA a success. No doubt they will soon find that . they made a mistake in not agree ing to cooperate in malting this : great movement for curing the depres*on a success. Are they showing the patriotic Spirit in pursuing this course? No one can imagine that they would appre ciate being called slackers. The slacker is the man who refuses ■■ to bear his part of the burden in time of peace or in war. He' believes in letting, his'neighbor bear the heat and burden of the :dny;and make life easy for him. It , Is not a very pieasarft thing to think of being boycotted. CLUBS HONORS ■ ,: BEAUTY QUEEN -'y" Kiwanians Have ‘“Miss North Carolina’’ As Guest On Night. jr-:. j The Kiwanis Club held its regulai week# meeting at the Carolina Hate; last Friday night. After the transac tion of nnfin,shed and new business President Jack Foster turned the pro gmm of the evening over to Dr. Way ; ion Blue. chairman "of the program committee. Much amusement was fur nished the club by Will itarkey, Jr. i impersonating the negro c otacter.

He said the sleepy citizenry ol Sanford little realized that in then midst was a gem' of superlative beauty. He quoted. Gray’s Eiegy: “Pull many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is bom to blush unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air.” He pointed out that a chance con test for feminine perfection, and the discerning eyes of local judges, awoke us from our lethargy, and that now Sanford was receiving more publicity through Miss Councilman than from any event since the mine explosion. “At Wrightsv lie Beach,” said Mr. Mclver, “amid the cheers of thousands, she was adjudged the most perfect woman in North Carolina. I congra tulate the judges.” He started to go into detail about her perfection, but a P' etty blush on the face of h s sub ject caused him to compromise by saying, "Well—she measured up.” Mr. Mclver stated that, without want.ng to appear mercenary, the city should do its utmost to capitalize on the splendid opportunity for publicity which Miss Cojrnc jman’s charm had given it.jln a neat finish, he quoted Wordsworth's “A perfect woman, nob ly planned," and said, “She is the toast of Sanford and Lee county; she is the toast of North Carolina; and, unless my young eyes deceive me, she is soon to be the toast of America." Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Hunter and three young men from Wallace are leaving Friday for Chicago to attend the Century of Progress. SPECTACULAR FIRE DESTROYS OLDEST LOCAL WEED FLOOR (Firemen Display Skill in Protect*; ing Nearby Property fAs' ' Big Warehouse Burns COMPLETELY , DESTROYED One oi the most spectacular fires ever" witnessed in Sanford was the one that destroyed the «-W tobacco ware house late Saturday afternoon. The dense smoke from that fire -was sedn many miles away. When the fire alarm sounded a representative of this p* per was in the neighborhood of the, building and saw the fire when ft was not much b gger than a man’s hand. Had the firemen been ,on the spot at that time they could have ex tinguished the flames with a fdw chemicals. Although the firemen reach ed the building iji a remarkably short t me the fire had gained , such head way before they could get the wafer; going that it was impossible to save the building. V | A high wind fanned the fire and soon the building was a seething mass of flames'frofe And to end. After reaching the fire the heat was so In , tense that the firemen had to move away. The fire spread so rapidly than they were, in danger of Being burned Jto death. A line of hose which was placed parallel the build ng oh the nnnoi-' o‘ria Kd/vamn urranripH ft mil TV? a post and was destroyed by fire before it could be removed. The heat cracked the'plate glass in the building for merly occupied by the -Chevrolet com piny on the opposite side of the, street. The firemen had Jo turn their atten tion to the work o’f saving other pro perty on Wicker and *' Steele streets. ~ The dwelling of Mr.-T. Rs- Moffiitt and tiie one occupied by Mr. T. A.

They were fresh i from Salisbury where they captured $212.50 in prize money, capturing first I prize in the chemical contest and tie I mg the Lincolnton company in the I water contest, divided the spoils with I them. The furniture i!n some of the | buildings had to be moved to a place | of safety. In a few minutes after the i fire started it looked as if almost the entire population of the town turned out to witness it. All streets leading • to the fire were crowded with people, I many gathering in from the surround I ing country. Although the main part • of the building was soon reduced to smouldering ruins, the firemen had to keep water playing on the ruins till about 10 o’clock to prevent the fire i springing up anew and spreading to other property. Tjhe origin of the fire . is unknown. j Mr. W. F. Wood, tobacco ware ; houseman who had the building leased [ for a term of years, lost a lot of to bacco baskets in the fire.
