1HE SANFORD EXPRESS *Stb Year of Publication. ESTABLISHED IN 1886. P, H. St. CLAIR, Publisher. D. M. SC. Clair, Managing Editor _ SUBSCRIPTION RATES CM year, $150;- S.x Months, 75c Advertising Rates on Application. Entered at the Post Office in Sanford, N. C., as Mail Matter of the Second Thursday,' May 9, 1935 OLD ADMINISTRATION TO GETT ANOTHER CHANCE. The present administration will con tmue to administer the Lyfairs of Sanford for another term of. two years. This waajgf* verdict of the peoffie of thajUlWn. at the polls Tues day. The campaign had been worked up to white heat and the result shows that the vote was one of the heaviest in the history of Sanford. Both per sonalities and issues figured in the ' campaign which was hard fought all the Way through. The town was thoroughly canvassed by the oandi dates and their workers, many work - sag till the last vote was cast at the going down of the sun. When the retains were canvassed and posted many expressed surprise at the re sult. It was tfclieved by some that there would be some changes on the board of aldenmen, and that Williams would defeat Wilkins for mayor, buc the result showed that there was only one break in the line-up, Fields, a new man, defeated Hartness for al dennan in the fourth waif. This was the greatest surprise of the erection, as Hartness made^a good alderman and it was thought that he would be reelected. Several things entered into, his defeat. So far as is known his successor is a good man and will ( make a good alderman. I ' Now that the election is a thirg of the past let us forget our differences 1 and like one big family pull together j for a bigger and greater SanUord. < Those who will administer the affairs j of the town for the next two years , can make their work more effective if gjlven the support and cooperation * oTthe people of the town. j t No doubt many were surprised at ( (he resuCt of the election held to elect ( five memers for the new obard of | trustees for the city schools. Five members of the old board went in by ' good majorities. They are all good 1 men and will no doull; give good ser- < : vice as they have in the past. They sire familiar with the wordings of the schools and are in a position to know what the schools need. *. FARM WOMEN’S CLUBS ;1 MAKE RURAL CENTERS. j] This paper has from time to 1 time had something- to say about 1 building of farm women’s -club * bouses in Lee county and the in terest the wives and daughters ‘ of the farmers are taking in the organized work as carried on by their efficient organizer and leader, Miss Cornelia Simpson. There are 65 home demonstra* tion club houses which have been 1 built in rural communities of North Carolina serving as meet ing places for community activ-, ities Trink of it, three of these ' 'chib houses are here in Lee j county. If each county in the 1 state had this number ot rural club houses there would be 300 j in the state. In some counties _ there is not a single farm wo- ‘ men’s club house. This will give * you some idea of what the farm- j er’s wives in Lee county are do ing along this line and how far * they are "ahead of some counties. 1 Lee |s one of the smallest coun- |s ties in the state in both area and' population and one of the .best. organized in farm and domestic ’ sciencework. ! i Lee has set the pace and some ! of the other counties in the state ■ are waking up to'“the situation. In addition to the 65 club houses 1 built, 70 club rooms have been; furnished for the club activities ' in sections where club houses are.. not available. Also, applications' havejbeen made for the construe 1 ton of 117 new club houses and' rooms within the near future.. It is expected that plans will, soon materialize for more club houses here in Lee county. Some, of the club houses have been buSt with the help of the ERA. j In Lee county the women, with! .the aid of their friends and neigh • bors have constructed two and • remodeled one with the assist- ; ance of their men folk and neighbors and have not called on the ERA for help. Accord-] Ing to the statistics that have, been published Lee county will receive a total of $140,775.34 as I its part of a total of $19,959,083 79 in State adjustment benefits] l under the Agricultural Adjust ments Act as of March 31, which was made public the first of. the week. Why not use some of this money to build community club houses?. Much of the material used for building club houses in the way of stone and logs have been sup plied by the farmers. Dr. Jane S. McKimmon, State Home Agent at State College, Jlaleigh, called particular attention to the Water Lily community club house oin Currituck Sound, which the. dub members remodeled from an old boat house. The Dignus community club house in Lee county, is a model example, she added. The Dignus Club is having the yard surrounding tire club house beautified with flow ers. In a few years they expect to make it one of the beauty spots of Lee county. No doubt the members of the other clubs will also beautify the premises with flowers, grass and shade trees. In the years to come one can imagine seeing beautiful club houses all over Lee county .with the suroundings in keeping with the buildings. This will add beauty and charm to country life an be an encouragement to young men and young women to remain on the farm, and live the happy life experienced by the farmer and his family who ‘“live it heme.” WILL THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASS A LIQUOR CONTROL BILL? The question now is will the General Assembly be able to, >ass a liquor control bill at this •ession? It doesn’t look so. It s believed that the time is too. hort, that is if they adjourn the ast of this or early next week,as, las been suggested. Last week he drys in the senate voted 24 o 23 to table the motion for re- ( onsideraticn and killed the Day. ontrol bill for the session. The, louse had passed the measure vith a proviso that whenever 51 ounties had voted in a referen lum to license liquor sales it vould be effective in the >ills have been drawn np in the ast few days and that the wets lave a lingering hope that some he of them can be put through it the last minute. For several reeks their , chief desire, was to iass a bill putting liquor back n part, if not all the State hrough a referendum. The ses ion of the General Assembly has >een prolonged by this fight be ,ween the wets and drys. Some of he newspapers have expressed he opinion that a speech made >y Josephus Daniels, Ambassa lor to Mexico, had' much to do vith defeating the liquor bill in he Senate. He emphasized the 'act that North Carolina voted iverwhelmingly dry in 1933, and nade further comment on the, quui issue. | After the Senate had killed j he Day bill, Representative ’age of BkiJen, who had voted .gainst it in the^t'ouse, intro-; need in the lower body, a bill roviding for establishment of a tate prohibition enforcement onstabulary, providing for at sast two officers in all counties nd more in larger ones. Cost of the constabulary would ie met from fines assessed gainst those violating the Tur ington act. All violators would ie fined at least $50 under the 3age plan. The first move to lead off aetdon was to raise the loint of quorum and following his postponement *(as forced on ibjections by influential mem >ers. Q^IJriday the House over vhelmingly passed the bill, and lent it to the Senate. - It is sinoe learned that the bill tas been disposed of by being lefeated in the Senate. Since the above was put in type it is learn ed that another liquor bill was put through the House Tuesday., With a whoop and malicious glare at the Senate, the House suspended its rules and sent to Ihe Senate a bill to exempt seven counties from the provisions of the Turlington bone-dry liquor law insofar as it prevents con tinuation and perpetration of the ancient and honorable Scottish custom of “wee-deoch-an-dorus." The bill applies to Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland,. Moore, Robeson, Scotland and Hoke counties, “otherwise known as | the country of the ..God-blessed Macs.” The measure was intro duced by Representatives Mc Call of Robeson, McEachem ol Hoke, Gibson of Scotland and Clegg of Moore. i Should this bin become a law, Moore, an adjoining county, ' would be wet. Just how it would effect this county remains to be seen. It is believed that it would be very difficult to enforce the law as it would be an easy mat ter to smuggle it across the line from Moore. The Legislature has spent much time in an effort to pass a liquor control law, and has made a miserable mess of the matter. It seems that they are not will ing to admit that North Caro lina is a dry State, and they took up the time studying the wet issue when they should have been engaged in constructive le gislation. LIARS AND LIARS. It is now claimed by a scientist who has returned from Easter Is land, a small body of land in the Pacific, that the women of the little island are the biggest liars in the world. We wonder if the defeated candidate for mayor of Sanford and the Candidates who sought election on the board of aldermen and the board of school trustees, are ready to ac cept that statement as a fact? It would be intersting to know the number ^of voters, both men and women, who changed their minds—it would hardly do tO call them liars—in casting their votes for the various candidates here last Tuesday. However, we noticed that it seemed that fewer people made promises dur ing the campaign than in any previous campaign in Sanford. The candidates for the various offices were puzzled over the fact that so many voters were non committal and refused to pledge themselves. . We think that this is a good sign and shows that the people are more con sistent in casting the ballots and wish to be unhampered in rrafc JS&g' tfesir’own chttce, tralian ballot system gives them the right to cast unmolested or unduly influenced their ballots as sovereigns of this great coun try. We are informed that some of the husbands'and wives did not let each other know for whom they were gang to vote. - ,• t , THE PUBLIC debt. « Latest tabulation of the combined public debt in. the United States, . in. , eluding Federal, State and local debts, shows the American taxpayers owe •bnost 50 billion dollars—and owing more every day " , Ihe figures,'•cornpHed by the Indus triad Conference Board, and cross* becked against: information obtained by other statiatical organrations, were quoted and accepted by Senators dur Wg their debate of the four*biliionado^ lar work relief fund ,which wifi’ send the pubic debt far over the 50-billion raar*t *a these bonds are Issued. > federal debt was placed at $28, 479,000,000, and debts of states! cottn ties and municipalities'at $20,173,000, 000 State and local debts like the Federal have mounted during the eft pression.
