What It Means Many people do not know what a bank’s capital is for, or the difference between a bank of little or no capi tal and one with a large capital. A Bank’s Capital is the fund that protects the depositors from loss; there fore the larger it is, the greater protection the depositor has. This bank has a Capital of $30,000 Surplus Fund of 10,000 Undivided Profits of 1,100 Additional tockholders' Liability 30,000 A Total of $71,100 This means that we must lose $71,000 before our de positors lose a red cent. This protection is for YOU. When you think “BANK” think “Bank of Sanford.” Most other folks do. THE BANK OF SANfORD, S. P, HATCH, E. R. BUCHAN, President, Vice-President, J. M.

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING. < Robinson, Godwin and Otners Address Democrats Lea and Harnett at Swann Station. A great Democratic rally and picnic wad held at Swann Station on the bor der between Lee and Harnett counties last Friday, participated in by a large namber of Democrats from the two counties, and addresses by L. D. Rob inson, Hannibal L. Godwin, Dan Hugh McLean, with brief talks by S. R. Hoyle, candidate for the House from Lee, Geo. Grantham, candidate for the House from Harnett, and Chas. Robs, chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Harnett county. It was the greatest political rally than has been held in this section in years, many old timers remarking that it looked more like 1000 than anything they have The Bpeaking was begun about noon by Lee D. Robinson, who reviewed and contrasted the Democratic and Repub lican records in North Carolina during the past fifty years, and upheld the record of the adminfstration in nation al affairs with great power and effect iveness. About one-thirty a basket pic nic ftas spread and everybody ate to satisfaction. Immediately after dinner D. H. McLean made one of the most brilliant speeches ever heard in this section and delighted the audience with his apt Illustrations and anecdotes and with the record of the Legislatures of 1876 and 1898, both of which he was a member. Hon. H. L. Godwin made a short but effective speech reviewing the national record and showing why all men Bhould support the present ad ministration and continue it in power. The other talks were effective appeals to party loyalty. This occasion arous ed the Democrats of this whole section to a pitch of enthusiasm that will have telling effect on ejection day. The Summer’s Work of Uuut Springs Demonstration Club. Correspondence) of The Express. We have fluttered about like the butterflies all summer from one pleas ant home to another, studying and demonstrating a bit in canning, jelly, bread, cake, pie and biscuit making and home conveniences. Now we are going into our winter quarters—the school room—for our meetings and will settle down to a steady, dogged determ ination to study these and many other subjects more fully. We had several splendid meetings at Pine Knott Farm, a delightful one at Mb ones at Mr. J. A. McPhali’s. This club can never hold a better meeting than it did September 6th. It gave a dinner complimentary to the Board of Education and families, the school teachers of Hunt Springs and Lemon Springs and families, and the school committeemen of the two dis tricts and families. By count more than a hundred guests gathered around the dinner table. In the morning Misses Fannie Brooks, Marguerette Martin and Ruth Morris gave a demonstration in canning apples in tin, and Misses Ida Brooks and Sarah McPhail gave a dem onstration in bread making. An lceless refrigerator, outdoor flytrap, and flre le68 cooker, all made by women and costing only a trifle, were on exhlbi In the afternoon Mr. W. O. Crosby, secretary of the Bureau of Community Service, Mr. D. B. Teague and each member of the Board of Education made strong, encouraging speeches along the Bubjectof community service. Mr. Crosby organized a Community [Service League with the following officers; W. I. BrookB, president; E, J. McGilvary, vice-president; Mrs. J. C* Watson, secretary-treasurer; Educa tional Committee—J. R. Matthews, chairman; MIes Fannie Brooks, secre tary; Farm Progress Committee—R. B. Watson, chairman; Robert McPhail, secretary; Co-Operative Marketing Committee—A. B. McLeod, chairman; Miss Isabel McPhail, secretary; Health Committee—H. T. Morris, chairman; Mrs. J. A. McPhail, secretary; Organ ization and Social Life Committee—Miss Janie Dalrymple, chaiiman; Mies Kate Shaw, secretary. The organization of this league means a great deal for this pirt of the countv. The future permanent good of the county must be made through the chil dren. They cau be reached successfully and systematically only through our public schools. Therefore the club felt it had made a big score for the future of our section when she teaohers of our schools and the entire Board and their wives honored the club with their pres ence. We know that they will be more interested in us and our schools and will realize more fully our pressing needs by coming among us. The League holds its next meeting at Hunt Springs Academy, October 21st, 2 p. m. The Club hGld its last meeting with Mrs. J. A, McPhail last Wednesday afternoon After the business period Miss Little gave instructions in pine needle basket making. During the social hour coffee, sandwleheB and soup pernong grapes were served. The next meeting wfW bo at Hunt Springs Acad emy Wednesday afternoon, October 11, at 2:30 o’olook. We want to make this the most fly less section of Lee county. Miss Elsie Swarlngen, Sanford, Route 1, the secre tary of our club, has pattern, and direc tions for making a simple and inex pensive outdoor flytrap. You oan get this pattern by sending her postage for forwarding them. Let us have these traps, a dozen of them, made by spring and get our ttrit flies. We welcome visitors to our League ot Club meetings. The Sanford Ice Company has leased its plant to J. M. Rlddlft..till, the 8.Pit; of January. j JONESBORO NEWS BETTER.

A Few Suggestions for the Prevention of Fires and Loss of Life. ASHES should be kept in metal re ceptacles and never in paper or wood i n barrels or boxes. OILY RAGS OR WASTE should be Vept in standard metal waste cans and •-ontents removed and burned each night. RUBBISH should never be allowed •o accumulate in or near buildings. GASOLINE. NAPHTHA, and other volatile oils, should not he kept in uildings. and used only with extreme STEAM PIPES should be kept clear 'rom all wood and other combustible material. OPEN ELITE HOLES should he pro ’'cted with sheet iron, or, better, be ricked up. ELECTRICITY, when improperly (n -tailed, is hazardous; lamp cords hould not be hung, on nails or wrap ped around any piping; paper shades -hould never be used. Confer with our City Electrician when changes >re contemplated. Do nut allow om 'ovees to tamper with electrical in -'allations. STOVEPIPES should be securely r'veted and run direct to brick claim - eys and never thrughxfloors or parti ons; protect floors under and about ^>ves with brick, cement, or sheet metal. STAIRWAYS should ho ke;>! lns'-<i slid clear at all times; never place any lock or shelving thereon. AISLES OF GOOD WIDTH should e maintained at nil times; never pile tock in front of windows or against 'oors, as it handicaps the firemen in is« of fire. FIRE DOORS AND SHUTTERS should be closed every night, and stock -hould never be placed so as to hinder he ready closing of these tire doors. Hotter to use metal frames and sash with wire-glass. SEE THAT ALL FIRE EXTIN GUISHING APPARATUS is In good working order. ft AMP LAMPBLACK will spontan eously ignite. So will slack and pul ' eri^ed coal and charcoal when wet. NEVER USE PARLOJt MATCHES; lways'ftie safety match; they cost no REQUIRING ALL DOORS TO SWING OUTWARD in public build ings, schools, theatres, etc., may pre vent the loss of many lives. All buildings over two stories high should be provided with FIRE ESCAPES and STANDPIPES for Fire Department use. Aid us In the Prevention of Fires and.
