A large crowd attended the moving picture show and musical entertain ment at the L-Ma Theatre Friday night. All enjoyed the solos by Miss Ray and Mr. Robert Johnson, of Dur ham. as well as the music by the San ford Band. This band has made mark ed Improvement sinoe it last appeared at the theatre. Both the band and the management of the theatre appre elate the liber&l support given by the people of the town. The band realized as its part 824.00 from the entertain ment. This makes, all told, 840 00 than Manager Tulluck has turned over to the band from benefit entertain ments. Friends and relatives here have re ceived an invitation to the marriage of; Mr. D. T. Poindexter and Miss Vashti Lorraine Rand, the nuptials to be sol emnised at the home of the bride's par ents, Capt and Mrs. W. H. Rand in Ral eigh, on Wednesday evening, Novem ber the 17th, at 6 o’clock. Miss Rana is pleasantly remembered in Sanford where she has often visited her sister, Mrs, Linda Williams. Mr, Poindexter was born and reared in Virginia, but has for several years made his home in Raleigh. Both Miss Rand and Mr Poindexter are held in high esteem by a large circle of friends who will be Interested in their approaching mar riage. Mr. J. G. Murchison, of Rocky Mount, who was superintendent of the Charles* ton dlstriot on the second division of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, has been promoted to the postlon of assist ant superintendent of the third division of the road. Mr. Murchison, woo was the son of the late Rev. D, C. Mur chlBon, of Gulf, first learned railroad ing on the old Cape Fear and Yadjjln Valley Railway, now owned bylkhe Southern and Atlantio Coast Line. Years ago he learned telegraphy while a salesman in the store owned by his father and Mr. /. M. Mclver, at Gulf. From the store he went to a railroad office and being a bright, energetic young fellow he was soon In line of pro motion. At the time the road ohanged _feandshewaalts chief train- dispatch «' er. His friends In this section will Wpieased t© tears of hit promotion on the Atlantio Coast Line. Mr. Mur chison la a brother of our townsman, t Mr. X. E. Murohison, THE TOBACCO MARKET. About 75,000 Pounds of Tobac co Bold Lait Weeb at an Aver age of 12 Cents. Some of the beet tobacco that hat 3een gold on the Hanford market was ■alaed heraial^ee county. Mr. L. J. Jampbell, who lives four miles east of Sanford, sold a lot of tobacco at the 4tar Warehouse Friday at $30 per 100 Sis tobaooo averaged $17.12 per 100 K>unds. 506 pounds brought him 186 63. Mr. Campbell raised this to >aooo on sandy soil. Mr. W. N Harmon, of Deep river owushlp, this county, also sold some obacoo the same day that brought him 120.50 per 100. His lot of tobacco aver aged $16 00 per 100 pounds. His en Ire lot of 896 pousds brought him 1142.61. This tobacco was raised on day soil. This demonstrates the fact ibat a good quality of tobacco can be produced on both sand and clay or stiff toll In Lee oounty. This tobacco was veil cured. Much of the tobacco that has been put >n the Hanford market during the past week or two was much better in qual ity and brought higher prices than ibat that was marketed when the sea son first opened. The sales each day oave been larger and the market stronger. There seems to be more antbustasm among the buyers because they are anxious to get the tobacco on account of it* quality. When It comes to prices the Hanford market Is bolding 3wn with any of the markets of the State, notwithstanding the warehouse was not opened till this season. Capt. Hutchings sold more than 75,000 pounds last week and the prices averaged about 12 cents. Many of the farmers who brought tobacco to the market were from the counties of Har nett, Cumberland, Chatham and Moore. The sales this week have also been good and good prices prevail. The warehouse expects a big run of busl ness the latter part of the week as many farmers will bring along a load of tobacco when they come to attend the fair. This will probably be the best week for the warehouse since it opened. Lee Goal Mining Company Fleets Officers. The Lee Coal Mining Company was organized under terms of its charter at High Point last week by the election of six directors, they electing four general officers, namely: D. H. Parsons, presi dent and general counsel; (J. E. Mc Manus, vice-president; E. R Buchan, second vice-president; and T. E. Jenn ings, secretary and treasurer, the latter two of Sanford and Thomasvllle, re* spectively, others to be appointed a* may be needed. A. E. Tapiiu, of Hign Point, and W. J. Tally, of Bonlee, are on the board. Tne object of the company is to act either as a promoting or operating com pany and to endeavor to develop the Deep river ooal fields along the borders of Lee and Chatham counties, where coal is known to be deposited in gooa quantities, lue fire-damp easily man aged and the coal and its by-products already in demand In the surrounding wrrtwwy*^.-^.- ^*«fc*M*w-*-*«**,!®*, The company is working on plans for us future, based on expert reports ana map showings of highly competent men baking advantage of tne experience ot small and larger operations in the field formerly, when the by-products, new openings, etc , were not considered. The meeting was enthusiastic and the company hopes to shape matteis for ai least moderate operations prior to end ing of the European war, should it last long, or the American finances increase and will soon be seeking investment in new fields South, pending re-openlng of the Panama canal. The development of this field woqld likely mean the extension of another railroad or two to Sanford, all of whom would rejoice to share tor the traffic which might follow. The Spread ol Tobacco. “This bright leaf territory la a cu rious discovery,” says Blon H. Butler. “Bright leaf la like the boll weevil. It started in a limited section of the up per part of the State and kept spread log year by year until it had reached out over much of the eastern part of the State and down into South Caro lina, covering a lot of the hopeless land of North Carolina, and even including the Sandhills country, which up to the last few years was regarded as abso lutely worthless except like the Ford car, to make jokes about. But both these jokes have established them selves. Last year Raeford built a fine tobacco warehouse, and thiB year San ford came along with another, and to bacco men Bay there is no question but that bright tobacco 1b at home in both these sections. Only the other day I was on the country road between South ern Pines and Raeford when two men in a oar Btopped to ask at>out the neigh borhood, and one of them swept hla hand around to describe the oountry about him. ‘This is the greatest to bacco laDd I ever saw,’ said he. ‘I don’t sae why it isn’t oovertd with tobacco farms.' Gradually tobacco planters are breaking into that sandy land, and the reports are that they are making sat isfactory crops.” The Canning Club Booth at the Fayetteville Fair. Among the exhibits at the Cape Fear Fair, Fayetteville, none elicited more favorable comment than the splendid exhibit of the girls’ canning clubs. There were five counties rep resented in the canning club booth— Cumberland, Moore, Sampson, Lee aod Guilford. Guilford and Lee sent their exhibits by courtesy, and being with out the territory of the Cape Fear Fair, oould not compete for the prizes offer ed, though ribbons were offered especi ally for them, Guilford winning the blue ribbon and Lee the red In the regular competition Moore county'* display won first award and Cumber land’s second and SatnpBon third. The work of the Moore county girls graded first in quality and ranked second in Variety; Cumberland's was first In vari ety and second in quality. The five oouoties exhibiting had a great variety of work on.d)j»play*.and most of. it was of very high order of excellence. This is Lee county's first year in the canning work* COMMUNITY CLUB WORK. Patting Thomu^effenon’i Idea Into practice In gninpion Coun ty—What They Are Doing. Mrs. W J. Jones, co-principal of tbe Ploeland School at Salemburg, was a ?ueet of honor at a meeting of tbe ttalelgh Women’s Club tbe past week tad made an address before the club. 3er theme was tbe community club work and she spoke of tbe practical *esnlts that were being obtained. A lumber of papers Bpoke very enthusi astically of Mrs. Jones’ address and in isvera) cases it has been the sub] ict of editorial comment.—Sampson Demo crat, Oct. 27. Mrs Jones is the daughter of Mr. md Mrs Bright Roberts, of Carbon CO!J; and I* well known to some of the readers of Tbe Express.- Mrs. Jones is » very bright, talented and practical woman. She has been connected with the Salemburg school for a number of years and has helped to make it one of tbe best rural schools in tbe State. She is prominently connected with tbe work of organizing a rural com munity in Sampson county. An organ ization df this kind would accomplish great good In Lee county. Dr. Clar ence Poe in an address before tbe Banker-Farmer Convention stated that the promoters of this organization made application in the last Legislat ure to incorporate it on the very basis upon which any 500 people can get to gether in what we call a town—-a basis upon which no county has been yet or ganized In the South. The bill didn’t get through on ac count of being introduced late, but It will be introduced when the Legislature meets next. Remember this idea of Jefferson’s, but also remember that without the Incorporation a great deal can be done. They have accomplished a great deal there. They have laid off their definite community of everybody who wants to come In about six miles square, about like Jefferson’s idea was. They have their community league, their farmers’! club, which is very strong, and their ! farm women’s club. In that one county they have 6lxteeu farm women’s clubs. They are doing more to wake them up thah anything else. Because the farmer’s clhb can only take In farmers, they have a com munity league in which bankers, mer chants, preachers and physicians may The loague la just like a New Eng land township meeting. They come to gether once a month, and onoe a quar ter they discuss everything that looks to the upbuilding of the community. They have committees on social life, to encourage good roads, on educational worn, on farm products, on moral con ditions and improvement. If there is a oiled tiger in tne community it is tne duty of this com am tee to prosecute it and run it out. They have a committee on health conditions and improvements, and they nad a health survey made of the whole community. Tbat committee, just as tne doctor’s first duty is to make a diag nosis of bis case, made a survey of the community and sent about fifty ques tions to every family, and founu out the conditions, agricultural and health and social and everytniqg else. They have another committee on woman’s work.
