SANFORD, NOBTHfAROUNA, JUNE 28, 1934. Published WEEKLY. FIVE CENTS VOLUME 48, Number 45. FOREMOST IN CHARACTER and CIRCULATION Mrs. S. 1). Porter and daughter, Miss Anna May, and little sot), John. .David Porter, are now on a visit to the “family of Rev. L M. Dixon, of / .Hertford. 1 j-7 ~■ Mr. E. O. McMahan, County Farm , Agent, informs The Express that 'by the end of the* week he wili have de livered all but 70 cotton rental checks 1 to the farmers of Lee county. Many of them have been, delivered-this week. Hs says that when they are all deli vered to the farmers they will have received $50,000.00 ,on cotton checks. This will be a great help to the farm ers and stimulate business no little. ; 7 A force of laborers has been busy. for a week or two putting three feet of Concrete on the dam at the new,; lake. This is done to keep the dirt dam from washing away by high wa ter. The water came very near flood - ing the top of the dam during the recent heavy rains. The spillway was raised in order for the lake to hold more water. This made it necessary to raise -the dam. It will take some time to finish the job. This will give Sanford a greater volume of water to draw from. 7'7 -y -7.;;7777; atev. ana rars. a. j. proves return ed yesterday from Mt. -Holyoke Col lege, South, Hadley, Mass. They left* here ten days lego, and with their daughter, I>r. Groves, motored via Richmond, Washington, Baltimore, -Hew York to South Hadley. After'’ staying four days in and around South .Hadley, they: returned by way of Voughkeepsie and down through the ' Catskill mountains,taking in West Prriijt. They report 1a delightful trip,. ■ At the co-operative poultry sale re-' cently held at this place, 80 farmers sold 1,016 pounds of poultry fo? 8111.4a. The Express is informed by' County Demonstration Agen\ E. 0. Me Mahan, that there is now yery little poultry for sale in Lee County. There - may be quite a lot of young chickens*. - but most of the old chickens have been marketed. There is not much encour i. agement to raise Chickens at the pres ■r' i.i While on a trip through the Broad way section Friday evening we noticed - that the crops 'were very spotted and looked good in places. Saw some beautiful young cotton and tobacco, and sortie that ’was small and had a poor color: Most of the cotton and tobacco was clean, and had been well ' cultivated. . Small grain was about all ' cut and ready to be hauled in. As the farmers now havethejr crops well in hand they anil have no trouble in keeping them in good shape, unless wet weather should set in again, till they finish giving them the last culti vation. •_? V '., ■ The North Carolina Emergency Re lief Administration last week ordered MB car loads of Irish potatoes to be dis tributed by local relief organizations * throughout- > the State ' among needy families. This will feed * large asm ber of families and help to relieve the . congested condition of the market. One car load of these potatoes 'has been assigned to Lee county. 'Mrs." . Thomas OBerry, Relief. Administrator, states that orders are being placed - only where there as a surplus of pota toes and the prevailing price Is $1.26 a barrel, the price allowed by the : Washington office of 'the Federal Ad ministration. Schedule “Q” or privilege license taxes safe doe from all persons, firms '’and corporations doing' business in the' ' State on July 1, but with a 80-day pe- • riod of grace extended by the Revenue Department. . That period ends June. 30, and persons, firms and corpora tions continuing in business after that ■date are guilty of a misdemeanor, li vable for penalty and each day is a separate offense, C. H. England, field force supervisor, warns. Collections of this tax for 11 1-2 months of the fis cal year reached $1,830,000, and was i expected to got above $2,000,000 from ' collections in the last two weeks of the fiscal year,/;. Deputy commissioners are warning r people to avoid penalties on the pay ment of State privilege taxes. The payment of state licenses or privilege taxes was due to be paid on June 1st.,, 1934, which covered the fiscal year "beginning on that date. If not already paid, it Is necessary to make remit tance at once in order to avoid penal ties provided by law. The law pro vides that any person, firm or cor poration that conducts .a business, ■ trade or profession, without obtaining astate license shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall 1 .he fined or imprisoned at the disc re- i .fion of the court. The fine shall be ' 20 per cent of the tax in addition to ' file tax and cost. Each and every day ■hall constitute a separate offense. - ^ . ■ ■ - ' ■ ■ ' * .. ■ -f ■•.■r .r, . ■ WEED PLANTERS GET SECOND SHOT ' AT CONTRACTS strike Amendment AUowimg Ex ;■ emptioA of 2,000 Pounds ' For Each Planter. KERR BILL SIGNED BY FDR Provides Tljat All Tobacco Farm ers May Enter Into Govern . . • ment Control Plan. Tobacco planters, in Lee county will !>e Interested to -know , that growers who have not yet. signed contracts iave an opportunity to do so during the next thirty days. The president has ,signed the Kerr bill, which is sim ilar in operation to the Bankhead bill For . cotton. Contract blanks will be placed in the hands of community com mittees, said Farm Agent E. O. Mc Mahan, and any growers who may de sire to come in .under, contract pro visions will be permitted to sign- There will be no intensive campaign to .per suade non-contracting growers to come in. \ ■ ■■■<■ ■ .. "-■ ■ ■ It Is expected that tjte'tax’ on to? bacco above the poundage allotted .will probably be thirty per cent of the mar ket price. Non-contracting growers may apply to-committees for exemp tion certificates and be allotted a cer tain amount of tax-free tobaeco cor responding to-what they awould have been allotted had they sighed con tracts. They will receive no rental al lowance as does the contracting grow er though, Mr. McMahan points -out. Those not eligible to sign Icontracts will also be given exemption allot ments upon application and the fur nishing of required information. The grower who sells without exemption, however, will pay the tax on all that he sells, it is stated, this to be collect ed bv /Federal revenue representatives at the warehouses., . The 'amendment' that would have permitted any tobacco grower an ex emption of 2,000 pounds Without tax was stricken out of the bill before it passed, and £here is now no exemp tion Without certificate Mr. McMahan reminds. ' - The agent ^states he advised farm ers Who have consulted with hjm on and grow the acreage allotted to them in their contracts, even if they antici pated producing more than the pound age' to which they are entitled tax free. If the production should, exceed the allotment the grower should ex ercise more -than ordinary care, in grading mid thug bring all his good tobacco within his’ allotment and sell the cheap grades Subject to tax. The contracts calf for. seventy P«r cent of the base acreage to be grown this rear, but the base poundage lias been increased to eighty par cent fo* eon-, tracting growers.

PAGE DEPOSITORS GET 20 PER CENT "V . * / t._ ■ •- „ Checks Hailed This Week To De positors of Page Bank To Cover First Dividend. many people in oauiuru «uiu - w**o section, in fact throughput the-terri tory in which the Page Trust Com pany curried on business, ^vere made | happy the. first of the week when they received checks through the mail carrying a 20 per cent dividend of the amount of the deposits that they had in the institution when it closed its doors March 3rd., 1933. ' It was ex pec ted for some time" these' checks would he issued. People who had de posited money in the bank to any great amount received -quite a nice little sum. - \ The entire amount of the checks totaled 3406,397.46, and they are be ing mailed to~7,965 depositors, -who have proved their claims.. This was the first. payment made siUce the Page Trust Company closed its offices The small check is for .03 cents, while the largest goes to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, payment of an obligation due it. The bank people have been making money to "make the first payment, and finally it was raised through the Re construction Finance Corporation. The loan was for $3601)00. Hie amount paid out in this section by the Page Trust Company, together with the $50,000 paid over to the fanners of Lee county by the government as cot ton rental money should greatly sti mulate business in Sanford and this section. Other funds will soon gain circulation from the sale of peaches. SANFORD NOT ON FINAL ALLOTMENT Recent Allotment of Funds For . Federal Building Program . Fails To List Saitford The daily papers the first of the week carried the names of a number of towns in this section of the State that are included in the allotment re cently made by the Federal govern ment for postoffice buildings. For -some reason Sanford is not included in this list of towns that will get new postoffice buildings at an early date. No one Beems to know why Sanford was not included in this list of towns for new postoffice buildings. Last year the Postoffice Department sent a representative to Sanford to make an inspection with a view to recom mending a lot for a postoffice build ing, but there the-matter dropped and there has since been no new develop -ments about the matter. It is now -thought Sanford will be included in the next allotment of funds for it pub Bc building. No one seems to know when this will be done. If the govern ment has decided on a site -no one seems to know anything about it The contention-over a site for the post office building trill probably be al most ss great as a selection of a post master when the time conies for a change. .;: y • -. ^ ■ tGTTON ~rAGGER" APPOINTED Cotton ‘'tagger**1 are being appoint ed for each county* in the cotton belt of the State. It anil be the duty of the “tagger*" and the county agents to see that all cotton of the old crop U; tagtged to distinguish it from the new crop, which will be subject to the regulations of the Bankhead Cotton Control Act, Mr. Ernest Cole has beenl made cotton “tagger” for I<ee county. | He received the appointment a week or two ago. County Farm Agent E. 0.

Hawkins The Kiwanis Club was served din ner by the ladies of the Broadway Baptist church at that place last Fri day evening. They sustained the repu tation of the Broadway people for feed ing well. They made the occasion a most delightful one for the club. Dinner was served from an improv ised table in the shade of the trees near the church. The Baptists of the! town have built a substantial brick church to take the place of the one destroyed by fire. At the conclusion of dinner it was decided that the club should accept an invitation and be served dinner by the auxiliary of the Lee County Hospital on the hospital lawn Friday evening. The program will be in charge of Dr. R. G. Sowers .and Chas. P. Rogers. The program was turned over to H. M. Wagoner, chairman of the pro gram committee. The first thing on the program were some humorous readings by Paul Lucas, who also ren dered several solos to the accompani ment of music on a guitar. An advertising contest was put on and when a check up was made it wTas found that Dr. Sowers and President J. E. Brinn were the high scorers. Mr. Hawkins, who was ti e speaker of the evening, discussed in a very en tertaining manner conditions in the world today. He mentioned some of the things now causing trouble between nations and spoke of war as being a menace to the peace of the worlds He wift become a must take the place of nationa ism. He lamented the fact that the leading nations of the world %hre spending huge sums of money to maintain, great standing armies in preparation for war. In conclusion he said that the only remedy~was to be found in the scriptures. BORROWED $1,500 TO CONDUCT CAMPAIGN Harnett Candidate For Judge ship Files $1,500 Loan On Insurance Policy. According to a statement that ap peared in some of the State papers this week, Charles Ross, who ran against C. L. Williams, of this place, for the nomination for the judgeship of this district, in the June primary and lost, reported that he borrowed $1,500 on his life insurance to finance his campaign which cost him $1,600.70. Mr. Ross was not the only candidate that spent a nice little sum of money in the campaign which closed with the primary June 2nd. Perhaps it would be a surprise to many to know the amount spent by candidates here in Lee county during the campaign. The cost of conducting primary campaigns is growing all the time. Unless there is a stop put to this business it will soon be impossible for a poor man to succeed in getting the nomination for an office. Candidates are required by law to report under oath the amount of money spent dur ing a campaign to win the nomina tion. Wonder if any one is gullible enough to believe that this is always done by every candidate? Some candidates are like some other people in this regard. They are not particular about hdiding sacred their oath. . In fact they are liable to forget that they are under oath when they are called on to tell the amount of money they spent to win at the noils. ICE CREAM SUPPER The Young People’s League * of Spring Hill Methodist Church will have an ice cream supper at the home of Mr. J. K. Stewart Saturday night, June 30th. The proceeds will go for the benefit of the church. The public is invited to attend. . The cantaloupe season is now open and the crop is being trucked to the Northern markets from Scotland coun ty anjl other sections south of here. It keerps that the cantaloupe people are not having the trouble with, the traffic cops by over-loading as did the people who moved dewberries to the markets. WOODEN PLAN BIG > CELEBRATION FOB NEXT WEDNESDAY Big Parade At Noon; Expect Many Visiting Members of Order Here 4th. FOUNTAIN TO SPEAK AT SIX i Big Dance To Be Held In 3-W Warehouse From 10 to 2 Wednesday Nmight. The. Fourth of July celebration which will be pulled off here next Wednesday promises to be the biggest thing of the kind ever staged in the history of Sanford. A. K. Miller who is at the head of-the thing and those who are assisting him, are busily en gaged in arranging the most elabor ate program ever planned for the Fourth at this place. Mr. Miller has pulled off some big ones. From 10 o’clock in the morning till a late hour at. night there will be something going on in almost every street in the business section of the town. If you are not taking part and enjoying the day it will be your own fault. Arrangements have been made for the very best band music that can be had. The parade will be worth com ing miles to see. The sports and con tests will hold the attention of all who enjoy this kind of amusement. A new thing in the program wjll be the life saving demonstration by the Sanford fire department. This is the company that has captured about all the prize money that has been of fered at every firemen’s convention in several years. See the boys in action. Firemen vs. firemen will also be well worth seeing. The water contest for children under 15 years old, will at tract the old as well as the young. I he ladies driving contest and the Pox ing contest will also play a conscipu ous part in the program. The speaker of the occasion will he Lieut. Gov. Richard 'S. Fountain. Gov. Fountain is a good speaker and will bring a worth while message. All roads will lead to Sanford on the Glorious Fourth and unless you. travel one of them you are going to SERIOUS ACCIDENT Miss Zona Kelly In Car Accident Here Saturday Afternoon; Negro Held For Trial Miss Zona Kelly, a waitress at the Carolina Coffee Shop, came near be ing killed by being- struck by a car while crossing near the intersection * of Carthage and Steele streets last Saturday afternoon. At the time she was crossing the street the red light was on and she felt that there was no danger of being hit by passing cars which were supposed to stop for the red signal. A negro boy by the name of Alex Moore, of Pinehurst, came along driving a Buick coupe, and fail ing to stop for the red light, struck Miss Kelly, tossing her some distance. People who witnessed the accident thought at first that Miss Kelly was fatally injured. Strange to say no bones were broken, but she was cut and bruised and painfully injured about the head and body. Mr. C. L. Reynolds, of Cumnock, who was on the street at the time with his car, rushed her to the Lee County Hospi tal, where she was given immediate attention. Miss Kelly is still in the hospital and continues to improve. It is ex pected that she will be able to l*av« the hospital in a few days. Moore was arrested and committeed to js31. His: case came up f6r trial at the Record er’s court Tuesday, but as Miss Kelly was not able to appear as a witness, the case was continued till she will btf able to attend court. Several other negroes who were in the car with ^ Moore were discharged. CONTINUE EFFORT FOR WAREHOUSE After First Plan Fails New In terests Continue Effort Tot Build Warehouse. Efforts are still being made to build a new tobacco Warehouse in Sanford. The first project has been called off and those who are interested in build ing up the market haye turned their attention in another direction. The plan now is to build a 125-200 foot warehouse to cost approximately $15, 000 on the lot on the comer of Wicker and Endor streets west'of .the three warehouses now in operation. This is known as the Seymour property. This will group the four warehouses. A meeting will be held to-night to con sider the matter.
