The Express last week carried the account of the death and , burial of Mr. John R. Jones. It told something of his life. His ' was an active, busy life. He was' an optimist and saw the bright aide of things. Mr. Jones was' practical in all his undertaking1 and had the acumen to see' through a business proposition' to a jp-eater degree than the aver v age business man He was a man of strong will power and when he felt that he was right it was hard to change him. He was al ways found ready to advance every good cause in the town and community and freely gave* of his means 'for the enterprises that have made Sanford what she is today. He came to Sanford when the town was .1 mere vil-j Ige and helped to lay. the foun-J dation on which the town has been built. He invested his money, as he made it and in turning it over it helped those who needed help. When men grouped them selves together to discuss and put over some new enterprise Mfr. Jones was almost always found in their midst suggesting and planning. Other business , men listened to him as they re cognized his'abihty to handle those problems that have to do^ with the developments in the town and community. He witt be missed to the coun sels of those who have at heart tiie best interests of the churches schools and other institutions. He was of a generation that is fast passing away. , ' • '.'fltr V * ... w ■ , S'*-. ‘ a, '• .v^-!' ‘‘JSSP Mr «... WHAT ABOUT THIS t ■ :v RURAL SCHOOLS? ^ %**■; - ' _O The speech that HarryL. Hop kins, Federal Emergency JteJicE Administrator, made to tWjjra duation class of the University last week, seems to be dramng comment of the press of this "■ State. Among other things he said : ‘"the theory that any kind of housing or education is good ^ ‘ enough for the people of rural America is a worn-out, absurd theory-a laissez-faire doctrine of «devQ take the hindmost. It's im •wonder peopleare leaving the *«ountiy to go to the cities.” We have the kind of people 'here in North Carolina that Harry Hopkins described in the above quotation. We have the 3kind that need better housing and better education. Back in the days when the late Governor - Charles R Aycock 'made that famous campaign for better schools in the State and gained the title “North Carolina’s Edu i. national Governor," some of the intelligent educated people were heard to say that the common run of people should not be edu cated. In fact they openly op posed the program put on by Governor Ayoock to build up a ; better system of schools and col 1 - leges in the State so that all boys ' and girls might have an oppor tunity of securing a higher edu cation. They were opposed to, universal education because they claimed that it would take the young people away from th; I farms and work-shops. In fact i. they wanted to keep them in lg . norance so that they could be . . used as vassals and bond-slaves, like feudal tenants of old, sub . ject to the lords of creation. No doubt there are still people in the State that feel that way, but > they are sayfng little about it as * it would be. unpopular doctrine, trine. • When Harry R Hopkina re ferred to the movement for bet ter homes for the rural popula tion of America, he hid in mind the “New Deal" through which ; r j doubt many of the readers of The Express recall hearing a few weeks ago a talk over the radio by President Roosevelt on this subject. He inaugurated' the movement and it is expected that it will be one of the objec tives of the administration in the near future. There are peo ple in North Carolina living in houses that are unfit for human beings to occupy mid as it is impossible to keep them in a sanitary condition the wonder is . that vital statistics don't show a higher death rate per 1,000 popu lation. There are homes here in Lee county that mil fit the de scription of ' those mentioned above. There are some attractive well appointed homes in the ru ral sections of Lee county that were constructed according to unitary rules and regulations, but there are many of the other type. New dwellings are to be found in many sections of the county of Lee that will compare favorably in this respect with many of the rural counties of the State. The educational ad vantages and facilities of the county are in keeping with the school facilities of the State. Steps are being taken to issue bonds to raise funds to enlarge the school buillings so as to take care of the additional number of children that join the schools every year. " LEGAL LIQUOR HELPS BOOTLEGGER. x The Journal of Lincoln, Ne braska, states that Unde Sam has a force of 3,300 men out af tre the bootlegger, rather strange in view fact that repeal was bro tight about in order to abolish fender. But since repeal has fail ed, the Government has at last begun an attempt at enforce ment. The task is an enormous one, no less weighty than that of enforcing prohibition, had that been tried. The bootlegger . is more difficult to catch and con vict with liquor legalized than he was when all liquor was illegal. It is difficult to enforce the law in dry States within the borders of the country. The Federal Go vernment owes them some pro tection which they are getting in'a very limited way. Liquor is flowing into dry territory in vast quantities. Control is a much more com plicated problem than was prohibition. From all indica tions there is more liquor made and consumed in Ninth Carolina than before the 18th Amendment was repealed. f‘“ Sheriff White and his force of deputies have been kept busy for the past three or four months destroying stills and ar resting blockaders. The Express is informed that more liquor than usual is brought in from other sections and sold in this county. PRESIDENT MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. *,..4 When Congress adjourned last week Vice-president Garner ex pressed the opinion that the peo ple of the country today have “even greater faith .in the par triotism efficiency and unselfish ■sincerity of President Roosevelt than they had on the day they elected him so enthusiastically.” Vice-president Garner is in a position to know what has been done by President Roosevelt dur ing the first year of his adminis tration to lift this terrible de pression and restore the country to normal conditions. > He also knows how the people feel to wards him in his efforts to re lieve the situation, and let the people know that he is in sym pathy with them in their strug gle. . - • ■ . - We recall that soon after Pre sident Roosevelt entered the White House he .addressed the people of the country over the radio and frankly told them that it would be impossible for him to put. over a worthwhile pro gram without their cooperation and assistance. He said he would make mistakes and he asked the people, to help him -solve the many great problems that would come up for solution during his administration. While he himself is popular with the masses, some t / ,* -■ ■ ' * • " ' - - ■ in the “New Deal,” have not found favor with some of the people. Some have criticized him and have gone so far as to pro nounce the "New Deal" a failure. They are too quick to criticize. The “New Deal*’ has not had $£ fair test. It will take time to work it out. It required several years for the depression to put us in the shape we are now in and it is going to take some tune to bring about complete recov ery. . ■■"-r'.vV l,-; ■ f-i npHis tANP HAT BYO.T.

At the “Century of Progress* Ex- : position in Chicago, they have on dis- ' play what are known as Fordized ; Homes, assembled houses. In this par ticular the exposition projects itself - into the 'future. Houses like Fords! The home- ' maker is thus confronted by an idea entirely new. It cuts across ten ^ thousand years of building habits. , What would such a home be like, to 1 live in, to own, to acquire? Is it a promise or a threat? Will it actually ' materialize, even while every one was shouting, “Get a horse,” or is tiiere j something intrinsically peculiar to the 1 home that will endure the efforts of * the manufacturer" who would put the 1 home on wheels? In no particular has the depression 1 revealed more distress than in the ' problem of habitations. And- yet it ' is just because this situation looks the 1 most hopeless' that it invites the most 1 positive innovations. Home-building was the first activity to shut down, is still shut down, tight, and if left to.j the traditional methods and attitudes 1 will be the last to recover. If /the ' economic system as a whole is effected with acute indigestion, then thwhome building industry is suffering tenfold because of a’ chronic constipation. ; j r r - ’ • cf‘ CRADLE OF WESTERN CIVILIZA- , 1 THOR. The rehabilitation of Fort -Raleigh on Roanoke Island by the United States Government is of interest to every ^North Carolinian. This state is inseparably connected with Sir Wal ter Raleigh, and the beginning of the English-speaking people ij^tha New-, Wo# Hg formulated plPlljjjjF'^^ ^sHhon and settlement in America in 1584 and sent an expedition which, “on July 4th of that year, landed on What is now North Carolina soil and took possession of the new land in file 'name of Queen Elizabeth,- The expe dition camped on Roanoke Island, made friends with the native Indians and received glowing impressions dl the land and the peeople. In Septem ber it re-embarked, taking two native 'Indians, Manteo and "Wanchese, and some of their “golden weed” back to England and gave Elizabeth the first authentic tidings of her new Western 'empire. Raleigh during the next few years prepared and sent out several expe ditions which reached the Carolina coast, and spent much time seeking gold, each finally returning to Eng land. ? 1 His last venture consisted of men, women and children equipped with such, cattle and implements as were necessary to begin farming. Ibis colony, which landed on Roanoke Is land, suffered complete extinction in an unknown mgnner. When ships re turned after two years, no trace re mained of the colony except a few bt'oken pieces of armor and the word “Croatan” carved on an oak. This 'word continues to conjure up romance and speculation about the fate of the “Lost Colony,’ and particularly about one of its members, Virginia Dare, the first native English child ig the New World, bora August 18, 1587. RALEIGH'S PATE. 'Sir Walter Raleigh’s fate, like that of the fifteen men who were left on Roanoke Island when the first attempt at settlement was made in 1584, and Kke that of the one hundred men, wo men and children who were left there when the second attempt at settlement w^p made -in 1587, was sad. After the death of Queen Elizabeth, who was Raleigh’s friend, her successor, . King James, had Raleigh imprisoned in the London Tower, where he was beheaded at the end of twelve years on a ' false charge of treason. Sir Walter failed to do many things, upon which he had set his heart, and his 'lend was'melancholy to think of. But no man’s life is a failure who does his duty. He was a noble and gallant gentleman, a brave soldier, a scholar, and.a good Christian. The books he wrote are still read; his life and char acter are studied and admired. The state which,, he in vain tried to found, after two hundred years had passed *away, became great and free new capital" cityin the center ot its territory, and ill grateful memory of. him named it Raleigh. The following lines were written by Sir Waiter in prison, the night before his execution: :'-v '• ...: “Even such is time, that takes on trust Our youth, our joy, our all we have, And pays us but with age and rust; And in the dark and silent grave, When we bave wandered all eur :yv- 4 Shuts up the rhnmant of our days, But from this-grave, this earth, .Ala dust, • .»■■■. TjiCEord shall raise me up, I trust" A WET SUMMER MEANS POOR ■ CROPS, '■ . As a rule a wet summer la followed by poor crops. Thk is so,** because When continuous rains»occur farmers cannot keep their crops free of grass and do the proper amount ot cultivat ing. ; The following article clipped from the' agricultural column of the Greensboro New* gives additional reasons why poor crops follow a wet summer: . „ g- . “Alter a long protracted wet spell the soil is left in a very poor mechan ical condition. Aside from being ov ercharged with an excessive amount of water the soil is deficient in air and generally sour. Such a condition is rery destructive to the root systems rf growing plants. Thrifty plants nust have free access to air at the root systems as well as to their leaves. Successive precipitation causes what is ■eferred to as a puddled condition of he soil. - This Is a condition which mcks th|s particles so closely togeth er that all air is excluded and evapor ition of excessive moisture is re sided. . . : “Certain soils which are underlaid vith sand and gravel are self drain ng and will to a large extent dissi pate excessive moisture -without the ud of evaporation, but soils Which are he result of a decomposed grainte >ase are generally underlaid with an mpervious stratum and must depend o a large extent*upon evaporation or irtificial underdrainage for relief of Excessive soil water. In such areas novation after every rainy spell is rery necessary. This loosens the lacked area, allows the breeze to play >ver the cultivated soil and admitsair o root'systems. "Most soils in this section are in a severe puddled condition at the present ime and should be given a thorough rultivation just as soon as they have tried enough for the surface to pul*' CHESTERTON HIMSELF CANT BEAT THESE.

FROM GOVERNMENT While the acreage in tobacco and cotton has been greatly, reduced tor this year by the federal government, liberal loans have been made by the government to' the farmers . in this section for raising their crops and improving their farms. They receiv ed loans from the government last year and as they made good crops and received good prices for their cotton and tobacco they -were able to pay back these loans and , are in better shape financially than they were..a year ago. The following information furnished The Express will be of in terest to the fanners: Farmers of Montgomery! Moore, Lee and Richmond counties borrowed $142,528.75 from January 1 to June 1 through the Carthage Production Cre dit Association, according to figures released' by the Farm Credit Adminis tration of Columbia. The loans were made to a total of 595 farmers, the average loan being $239.54. In the four states served by the Farm Credit Administration of Colura bia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, over $7,009,000 was borrowed by 28,120 farmers. An additional $420,000 is being advanced to farmers who are obtaining their loans in a series of (installments dur ing the season. The spring seasonal deihand for erojp production loans has now passed its peak and a larger proportion of the farmers borrowing from the as sociations are obtaining loans for gen eral agricultural purposes, such as for purchasing work-stock, equipment and machinery, and for financing re pairs and improvements. This trend towards general purpose loans is Te-J fleeted in the gradual increase in the size of the average loa5r~'\ I Fanners borrowing fromj^ese new ly organized, short-term credit insti tutions partially owned and operated j by the borrowers, are effecting a con-1 sidenable saving on interest charges, which are now at the rate of 5 per cent a year, charged on an annual basis and collected at maturity of the loan. Thus, a farmer, borrowing $500 Cor a year would pay $25 interest on a loan for 12 months, while a farmer borrowing the same amount for six months would pay only $12.5$ inter est, or if the loan was for three months, $6.25. >.
