The prorgram was put on by Presi dent J. E. Brinn, who called vice president Sowers to the chair. , President Brinn discussed the sub ject of State taxes. As a rule figures carry little interest for the average man, but as it had tp do with . taxes, j President Brinns talk held the atten- j tion of the jnambers of the club throughout, Although he ran over the allotte4 time. He discussed the sub-1 ject under eight heads or items. He 'told for what purpose taxes were col-1 lected aijd, gave the amount spent on each itaip.

The Express is informed that certain kinds' of oats are. badly dam aged but othqr types' appear to have been damaged very, little, ft is believ ed that 'the recent snow although if was slight, will help ihe small grain crop. It put quite a little water in the ground and put land in good shape which will enable Che farmers to be gin preparing their land for the seed teds. This ! was the-first snow of the winter in this section and had it not melted about as fast as it fell it would have been of some little depth. I Quite a number of people of San ford went to Raleigh to hear Dr. George W. Truett, of Dallas, Tex., preach since he opened a series of meetings in that city last week. Some have gone over to Raleigh to hear him in the day while other have at tended the night 'services. Some 5,000. or 6,000 heard hi® preach in the cite auditorium Sunday night. He de livered one of-bis most powerful soul stirring sermons and many indicated ja deeire to lead a new life. Many of the people of Sanford have heard him over ,the radio, some of .his sermons being broadcast over WPTF. He has stirred Raleigh and it is believed he has accomplished much good since coming to that city to oenduct a meeting. r If‘you are asked to pay 10 cents, or Shy other ammmt, to Join an as sociation alleged to be working for old age pensions,- you better keep ,ytrar dime in your pocket Circulars have been flooding the country from such an alleged association offering to make ahy one a life member for iO 1 cents. Then when you become a mem ber to get other members and so on, each paying a dime. Then you never hear of the dimes any more nor the pension either. This scheme to rob the people has been called to the at tention of Congressman Walter Lam beth. Mr^Lambeth states that the matter is being investigated. He finds that one of the Officials of the con cern, hag been convicted five times. But their .scheme is Ijka the chain let- : tier humbug, jt goes right on. A few days ago a citizen of this place, asked The .Express for information about this association, hoping to get a:i pen sion through it. It-may not be- much encouragement for ua to tell him that he will come nearer getting a pension through the government than he will by Joining this hsso^tion.

Perhaps before this paper goes to its reader: -again this will have been done. Thi ; candidates seem to be doubtful aboul the best plan to go about the thing It seems that they rather wait anc throw out “feelers” so as to find out how the people of the county feel about certain issues that will come up . in the next General Assembly for action. OFFICERS CAPTURE WHISKEY OUTFITS Lee Sheriff Gets Results In Two Raids Made in County Past Few Days. Last Friday Sheriff Ernest White and Deputies Henry Poe and M. J. Thomas made a raid over near Morris pond and taking Walter Gilmore, who was operating a 50-gallon submarine still, by surprise, captured him be fore he could get away from, the still. Sheriff White slipped up, on him while he was asleep. He had to face two guard dogs, but they also failed to wake up in time to give the alarm and enable their master to make a get-away. Uiis was the first time the officers of this county had to contend with ghard dogs at a still. Gilmore said he expected to kill them when given an opportunity because they failed to give the alarm when he needed their protection. The officers destroyed some 200 gallons of beer and five gallons of liquor. The still was in full blast when the officers made the raid. Gilmore gave bond for his appearance at court. These officers made a raid in the Lick creek section Monday and cap tured a steamer outfit, 3000 gallons of beer and 11 gallons of liquor, near the Hinesley old school house. They saw three or four blockaders as they disappeared at the approach of the officers. The still had been in opera tion. The officers destroyed the still, beer and liquor. , DOLLAR DAYS The Express carries this week a page advertisement for Efirds depart ment store.

Civil Works Adiminstraticsn program is expected to end March 30th., a . 11 montl> ahead of the scheduled cloa mg recently announced by President Roosevelt. „ * CJalliiig the ^madquarters of the CWA in this place yesterday we de tained a lot of figures from those !n_ charge which should be of interest to - our readers. At one time since the first of January there were 469 men and 30 women employed in Lee county on the different projects under CWA, > making all told 499. This lasted till February 23rd., when 144. were drop ped from the roll and were out of employment unless •" they found it elsewhere. On March 3rd., 128 more were dropped; on March 9th.. 29, and V today, _ If,th„ another batch, of 29 will ; be dropped, from the roll, making a 1 i total of 330 dischaaged from JSSUM , t work. This leaves still on the roll 14Jg : | men and 20 women. Should the jajf-l sent Program be carried.out they^fl be dropped ,/rom week to weg" ” they will all be'discharged wmk suspended by the end month. ’It, would be interesting A to know the amount of money paid out to th6§<£people by the y government flurwig, the two months 'or more It ran into thousands of •'dollars and how much of it was saved J>y them for their families or others dependent upon them? ' The Express isjjfcformed by Miss Henry aad-othp^^h circumstances on the roll so that their families would not suffer for of {ife- It hi announced, by the government that a new plan Will be worked out to. give, (he thou sands of people out of work employ ment.

It Was pointed out virtually all of the 1,600,000 persons who will be on the ! payrolls March 30 will be in the cit ,ies- T,le Plan for demobilization calls for far more rapid disbanding of work forces in the country than tn cities. ^ This is due to the fact that farm work is beginning and with better weather most of the rural workers will find some sort cjf occupation. The persons who will be transferred to world divisions will cease to be fed eral employees. They will become em -doyces of the state and local relief organizations. While on civil works hey were classed as federal employ ees and as such received the benefits ‘ of federal insurance in event of ac cident or death. They were paid by government checks through the vete ans bureau disbursing officer. Hop kins said a new plan for payment was being worked out. Only those who can show need will' be employed under the new plan. The need will be checked by the staff or '.ocal relief administration acting under the state administration. Only one person in a family will be given work. Only able-bodied persons will be given jobs; others being cared for by direct relief. The federal emergency relief ad ministration will allot funds to the various states on the basis of needs. This money will be spent by locai land state administrations which also i will be required to supply a share of the cost of operation. Wages will be the local prevailing,,,; • rate but not less than 30 cents an hour. Hours of labor will be 24 a week. The new system, Hopkins said, tOsor day, will make it possible for state and federal governments to plan re lief projects over longer periods tijpn was possible under CWA. ., The CWA, he said, was-a tempor- - ary expedient, whereas the new -phut u is designed for long range operatloh. sd Work to be done under the program will be much the same as under CWA. Hopkins estimated that 80 per cent of the CWA projects will be eligible for continuance under the new ar- "* rangements. , Tire National Bank of Sanford *■«« been designated by the Director of Postal Savings as a Postal Savings Depository for the Post Office Do< " : partment^. t
