South of Broadway—broad, even fields, easily filled—heavy yields of corn-rank i pokes and white acres of cotton. In %the spring beautiful fields of wheat, modemly harvested greet the eye. {Why ia this roadside so sparsely dot i ted with homes. Even the road is a good one and is how being regraveled and tarred. The Boone Trail School is >*|kn attractive lone and goes its neigh ; bors one better by tgrorting some ath letic or playground equipment for ' - children. Lillingtoa. and Sanford are in easy reach. The routes from tdl j. lington to {Fayetteville and to Raleigh are pleasant and. short. ./ ■, Yet the bodies are back in the hills {—and often ih inaccessible spots, sit uated on Wretched by ways. A lady who has a Northern accent, recently said with some irritation, ; “You would think the cars would, tra vfjVdl ou& the nice ways, btit{ instead l they fome' out all these terribly, rough , and dusty ways.” *• V { «<I .“No one can enjoy the^fhighways \ 'any more,-” - | replied. “They are a ‘ aj«fikce with those juggernauts, those 1 towering trucks and with those •dpeSdr^nSfl >»»»"'{ -M -But a man in. the company answer . ed faore truly yet—“The teasohj-peo , pie live on these dusty by ways.’liven kjthose ,who do use the highways must, ! ajsp -Use these rough wayavto get in ", and’ out.” ■ ;■ , -. ‘ WhjK,.are the people,{ who , they tear up their good cars in their J heroic efforts to' get to the highways ? j TChose who stick to the model T and 5 to the Hoover carts are wiser far. Fo/ the toiling, working man, the home builder, 'the tax payer—the One 4Sd whom -the towns call in never end-, ing routine exhorting them most des perately—“Come and buy. Buy now. ( Save us with your orders. Now is the time to buy. Spend to save. Support your town/’—these men are -strand ed out in the ways which were never meant for better looking vehicles than T models, Hoover carts and ox carts. Yet assuredly these are the men to which the entire world looks for its “saving.” j ■ ' : Listen Towns!—When these saviors of the cities start out to buy and pro mote your campaigns they use half they have to spend in gas, oil and wear and tear on tires and car in nards. Furthermore, when they final ly get to the good road their patience and their enthusiasm is all gone and the car begins then to roll on as it should—so even as you and I—these tired ones roll on to a big, town—see the gay crowds—see too, perhaps a show and so bolster up .their feelings to where they can re-negotiate the wretched old home" road and go on growing stuff, Harvesting, and sup porting the world. TOWNS, why don’t .you help these men to get decent roads—so that _ these men may run into your near-by town any old hour and buy what they need and get home refreshed and happy? Did you know these men can travel with less actual, expense from Sanford to Fayetteville-or to Raleigh than <the£ can in getting in and out from their homes to Sanford? 'fj: Furthermore, I hope I am enough of a seer td; see correctly when I see a future in'which Farmers shell tire and retire from their role ‘of Atlas. : ■: :■ ■; ’VliS-I Evidently some neighboring editors have never really known a farmer’s * life nor cottntry problems. “What,” r say they, "will the fanners yelp for when they get the twenty cent cot ton.” Wait till they get it. History teaches us that ‘if ever they do get 20 cents again that price won’t last long. Furthermore, if cotton be 20c— cotton print and coarse cotton ging ham,.(if'hiptory repeats itself) will be thirtyTfiye. and forty cents per yard.

Frank-.C./Hawkins pastor of the First Baptist church, {the program Was in charge of Mrs. Phil Yarborough. It was a success if we are to judge by the amusement that was created by the rendering of tBe severfd parte of the program- The costumes of the children w who took part in the wedding and die ladies who constituted the Old Maids Con vention, were a-scream. It would be hard to duplicate them. They all act ed well iheir parts and kept the con gregation convulsed * with laughter.

They -were served an elegant and well prepared dinner by the ladies Auxiliary of the church. The Community Service comrj mittee was in charge of the program. A. M. Hubbard introduced Mrs. C. M. Reeves, who gave an account of the Sanford Library and much of its past history. Mrs. Reeves has been chairman of the library board for some years. Mrs. W. W. , Robards, treasurer, gave a financial report. The county commissioners recently gave $1,000 for the year to the lib rary and it has been made county wide, now being the Lee County Lib-1 Tary. It supplies the four high schools books as wanted at regular intervals. The library is being extensively used especially by the school children of the town and county. Miss Helen Ros ser is the efficient librarian. An in vitation is extended 'to the citizens to call in and enjoy the books, papers i and magazines and to get acquainted with the work being done. The lib rary is being more appreciated as the years go by. The ladies who have given so generously of their, time and talents to it, deserve the thanks of ,the public. The Rotarians were read a letter 'from Dr. R. C. Gilmore expressing his pleasure at being with them at a recent meeting here. ■ The visitors were Erick Flannigan, of Henderson; Fred Coleman and R. P.

Everywhere you go through the county the farmers, -wives and chil dren are busy working in tobacco, picking cotton, digging potatoes and making syrup. If there is not much money in circulation there will be po tatoes and syrup. Mr. and Mrs. J. R, Ingram and son J.

His many friepds will-be pleased to leam that' Mr. Ingram made improvement while in Canada. Saturday was another good day for the merchants of Sanford. They say it was one of the best trade days they have had in two or three years. It re minded one of ,rgood times” in San ford,' before the depression set in. Peo pie seemed to be pretty flush with money and did not hesitate to spend it for the things they needed. With the cotton and tobacco markets in full swing it is expected that business will continue to be good for some time. The brick plants at Colon closed down more than two weeks ago. They are not in operation because o£ the great increase in the price of brick since the code was put on. They had to advance the price of brick as wages for their help was more than doubled. It is not known when the plants will be put in operation again.

Another singular thing about he proceedings this week was the eyi lence of more money < than at any :ourt for a long time.

James White, Hurley, McLean and Charlie Simmons,, all colored and with court records for the saraereffenses. Hurley McLean was armed, with a bi£ auto matic and Charlie Simmoils was pack ingi a razor inj his clothing. Both’ Md Lean and Simmons were able to pay out. The latter told the ifcourt that he was tried* by a Kangaroo Court, com posed of inmates of the jail, and "con victed of breaking into jkU add fined $15, all the money fie had on his per son. The c*»rt directed Jailer How ard to investigate the matter and re port back. -Jailer Howard to locate Simmon’s money.*' Tyre Johnson, Floyd Johnson and Ralph Perry, young white men from Chatham county, pleaded guilty to possession of half a gallon of whis key and were let off with the cq£ts.

He was also caught at a still. The charge against Will McLean, young colored man from Lillington, j charged with reckless driving, was re opened by the court, and after hear-! ing several witnesses for McLean the charge was dismissed. N. C. Kelly of Sanford, was the prosecuting wit- j ness and testified that McLean ran into him on Boone Trail several weeks ago. McLean’s witnesses were people/ living in the neighborhood and they * all testified that Kelly was on the wrong side of the road. RECEIVED BY PRESBYTERY The- Greensboro News states that with two dozen ministers and elders! from six churches present, an adjourn ed meeting of Orange Presbytery was held in the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, in that city Tuesday af, ternoon. The session was adjourned from the meeting held in the First Presbyterian church in Greensboro on j September 27th. j Elder J. Haney White, of Graham was moderator of the session Tues- • day, at which routine business was transacted. Rev.^. V. Gibson was re ceived from Wilmington Presbytery, i and a commission was appointed to] install him as pastor of the Sanford] Presbyterian church October 29th., at 11 o’clock. Mr. Gibson came to San- j ford from Whiteville, where he was pastor of Westminster church for six years. He is a son old Hawfields church of Orange Presbytery, and sue ceeds Rev. R. C. Gilmore, D. D., who has moved to OIney, Md. The session Tuesday adjourned to meet at Buffalo church near Sanford the second Tuesday in April, 1984, at 11 o’clock. COTTON REPORT ' Mr. T. H. Yarborough, from thd lower section of ’‘.he county, who was recently appointed to succeed Mr. J. T. McDonald, as County Cotton .Sta tistician, states in his report to the Census Department in Washington that there were 1,928 bales of cotton ginned in Lee County from the crop of 1933 prior to October 1st as com-, pared with 957 bales ginned up to October 1st., 1932. ' It, wilt be seen from the above fig ures that there was twice the amount of cotton ginned this season up to October 1st as there was up to the first of October last year. There are two reasons for this. Cotton was two or three weeks earlier this year than last, and as ideal weather prevailed since it commenced opening, many of the farmers have about finished gath ering the crop. . _ .1 « ' TOBACCO MARKET SALES CONTINUE ON INCREASE ---:-:—--.

Under the salary schedule an naunced by the School Comniis , si,on some weeks ago, the maxi mum salary for a teacher was fix- i - ed at $90 per month for eight ' months, or' a total of $720. The ■ minimum salary is $46 per month 1 for eight months. Lee County re /Ceiyed an allotment of $69,233.47. State Convicts Enjoy Short Period Freedom i, The Chatham News of Siler .City states that two Lee county road camp convicts made the fatal mistake of going over into Chatham county in their attempt to escape trom the toils of the law. William Cook, 26, of Grepnsboro, and Clarence Anderson, 28, of Wilkesboro, escaped from the state prison camp near Sanford Sat morning. TtHting the description of the men Peputy Sheriff T. T. Elkins and A. & Y. railroad detective Ghas. Crutch field were on the look-out for the men. Receiving word that two men were trying to beat their way on a passenger train they went to Bonlee looking for them, but they were not oi^ the train. On their way back they saw a man between Ore Hill and Sit es City that they thought answered the description of one of the..men wanted. They jumped out of their auto and grabbed a man who later ptoVed to be Andeyson. ( Later in the day they noticed that a door of a freight car of .aber hail .been closed and ’ on in. obligation found Cook: hiding on top .me nun? ing two years an5 'Coofi^EKree forTar-^ ceny. They will be presented in court and given extra time for their brief period of freedom. GULF PRODUCTS \ demonstrated; Some 275 people witnessed a demon etration of Gulf products in the as sembly room of the Wilrik Hotel on Tuesday night. This included a com- ] bination of the Sanford and Siler City areas. A picture showing how a tsodem service station should be con ducted, attracted the attention of all who were interested in cars and buy ing and handling gas and oil. It was very attractive and well designed. The picture demonstration was in charge; of W. A. Bourse, of Atlanta. Misses Myrtle Douglas,*- Johnnie Jean Rivers and Elizabeth Clark, dressed in neat Gulf filling station uniforms, acted as ushers in handling the crowd. Some j 75 people, headed by A. C. Shelton, j who is in charge of the Siler City j station, where here from that area. I There were many ladies present. Bob- j by Burns has charge of the Sanford station. At the conclusion of the demonstra tion at the hotel all went to the Burns’ park in rear of Three Points, where a barbecue supper was served. This was one of the largest crowds ever served barbecue here. The hill was covered with people. The barbe cue was made on the farm of Dr. J. F. Foster and you may know that it was good. All were served without a hitch and a plenty of the rich stuff left over. There were 90 cars at the park. BOWLING ALLEY OPENED The latest addition to Sanford’s list of amusement centers is the bowling alley opened by Ingram Cotton in the Monroe Building on Moore Street. Three 50-foot duck-pin alleys are in operation and offer a healthful means of amusement to the public. AVERAGE PRICE ON LOCAL MARKETTI$ HOLDING UP WELL _ , •- * . ■ .(%_ Total Sales'Through Wednesday , Amounted To 563,788 Lbs. Paid $78,475.31. • . i AVERAGE 13 TO 14 CEliTS The Sanford Tobacco Market has been going good the .past few days, fhe sales this week have averaged from 13 to 14 cents per pound. The V. u sales Thursday, Friday, Monday, ,rf. ruesday and Wednesday totaled 284, 120 pounds. The receipts amounted to $36,417.04. The figures show that there has been 563,788 pounds sold since the market opened, and the re- , heipts totaled $78,475.31. We hear a good deal about other markets, but when we examine the figures from the daily sales we find that the Sanford average is about as / V good, if not better, than any of them. No one Wants to admit thft when he carried his tobacco to a distant mar. ket he got ho Snore for it than he would have received on the home mar ket. He wants to. make his neighbors believe that he profitted by going 4ft the distant market. The markets in the old belt opened for the season the first of this week, but the pub lished figures show that the avrage price is no higher than it is on the ' Sanford market. HEAVY DEPOSITS The people of Sanford and this sec tion will be pleasedto learn that al though the First National Bank of Sanford., nas been open but little over - ■" * two weeks, it has received as depo- . . ti sits .$160,000. This is a fine showing '$%'■ for a new bank;; in a town of little ; more than :4,000 population in two weeks’ time at a time like this bmco, . ford it has certainly .been pouring in from the outside. The truth of the matter therp is money in Sanford and although we have had five bank fail ures in seven years. There are no mil lionaires in the town. The fnen who solicited stock for the new bank found that out, but they found men who had money or the bank would never have been organized and open ed. The people of the town are just ly pround of their new bank, and they can now hardly s£tf how they got along without one even for a few months. They were greatly inconveni enced and realized that Sanford could never grow to be a town of great pro portions without a bank. They made up their minds that they were going to have a bank and they kept ever lastingly at it till the bank was or ganized and put in operation. Other institutions and enterprises can be had in Sanford if the same method is employed. LEE TO GET PORK » Distribution of 607,500 pounds of pork to feed the needy in North Carolina will begin next week, according to an announce ment sent out from Raleigh. The State has been divided into 18 districts for the distribution with ! a central shipping point being de i signated for each one. Lee county is in District No. 12, the shipping point being Fayetteville. Each county will draw a certain num ber* of pounds. Lee will draw j 4,136 pounds. The following other counties are in this, district: Har nett, 3.021 pounds; Hoke, 2,001 pounds; Sampson, 14,283 pounds Cumberland, 8,220 pounds. DEATH OF MRS. REYNOLDS Mrs. G. W. Reynolds, mother of Mrs. P. L. Johnson, of this city, died j at her home near Carthage Thursday ■ morning at 8:30 o’clock. The funeral Will. be held Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock at Cool Springs Methodist ! Church. CITY OBTAINS 500 GALLONS WATER PER MINUTE FROM LAKE WILLIAMS SUPPLYi It is stated that 280 gallons of water empty into the new lake that Tvas builta early in the year to supply, the town with water in an emergency, every minute* and that 500 gallons is being pumped out every minute and sent through the pumping station to the town. Although it is taken out faster than it runs in, it is estimated that it will take some time to ex haust the supply. The old lake is still supplying water, but the amount is far below normal, tl is claimed by the old people of that section that the creek that supplies watdr for the new b - lake, was never known to fail,. It fe' forunate that the town is hooked Hap with this stream. Many of tre-.fSna ers in this section are now hauling' . _ watel for their stock and for doniestlf . purposes. The water in Deep River ‘ .r ~ ,5 has almost stopped running in places and there is not sufficient water in—~ the Cape jFear to keep th plant of the Carolina Power and Light Company, /„ ^ at Buckhom in operation. Should the dry spell continue much longer there will be a serious water famine in this -re section.
