. . ip FIVE CENTS' | WILLIAM IRVINE FAYSSOUX IN SANFORD THIS WEEK .Giving His Engagementsin a Tent Theatre Near Carolina Hotel—Many Remarkable Ex ' hibitions of Telepathy Put on - —Stunts Performed by Fay soux While Blindfolded. - t W & ft .. Under the auspices of the Sanford Lodge 386, Loyal Order of Moose, Wiiuam fayssoux, a tamous hypno tist and mind reader, who has been on the road 3U years, is giving daily performances in Sanford under can vass this week. The snow was opened Monday and a performance is given each night throughout* the week. On Monday aiternoon' at 2:30 a large crowd of people assembled in front of the Carter f urniture store on Moore street to see fayssoux put on an exhibition of mind reading and telepathy. He was blindfolded with a biacx cloth after wnich a committee of four men prepared a letter which - ■ he was to go to the postoffice, get it out of a box and carry it to the man to whom it was addressed. This ~ committee placed the letter in Mr. Bob Thomas’ box at the postoffice,. put the number and combination of the box on a small card, concealed the card behind a piece of tin, on the wall of the old cafe building on Moore street, went back to the car, a Lord, furnished by Mr. KirkpatricK, of the Triangle Motor Company, got in the car with Mr. Fayssoux, who drove the car, blindfolded, to the postoffice, en tered with two members of the com mittee holding his wrists, telling them to keep their minds on the location number and combination of the box and the place* where the card was concealed After remaining in the post office a short time he carried the two . men to the place where the card was cpncealed, searched around till he , Jpurd it end-carried it back to the .-postoffice and went to the box which • held the letter, but as the two men i -ypere confused in their minds ns to I the combination of the box he failed U to;*open it. After some one opened it ^.for him he selected out the letter from a number of ether letters in the box, ied,-4t*:to the drug store of Mr. : R/jL Tbpmas„and delivered it to hira. The letter is jjs follows: Mr. R. ' '■ :?’■ xSan^orir, % •A Dear' Mr.Thomas: 'r,'* i/ In dt*1 opinion, it mw be good , judgment thatypa tibe- cau,-. tioh in exefcttdmg credit -until crop? ^conditCbns . *n * , ' - 't- ' • . - W. R. Williams. .One thing that did not seem to be on the program was that when Mr. Payssoux drove the car to the post il- office, all the parking space at the end of Wicker street was occupied Tahd he had to turn .. and drive back almost to the other end of the street to find an opening. The committee failed to locate the trick in this stunt. The late G. H. Makepeace, father of Mr. O. P. Makepeace, a member of the committee, concealed a key at this place 25 years ago for Mr. Fays ,SOUX. “MOTHER’S DAY” OBSERVED BY THE KIWANIS CLUB “Mother’s Day” was ob!%-ved by thp Kiwanis Club at its meeting at the Carolina Hotel last Friday night. ■Jfcp mothers, Mrs. G. H. Makepeace and Mrs. J. R. Milliken, were guests of the club, also Dr. G. T. Adams, for mer pastor of ■ Steeie .Street Metho dist church. The program of the even ing was in charge of Kiwanian Fisher Makepeace. The table decorations were red roses and white and pink peonies. • At the conclusion of dinner Presi dent J. U. Gunter turned the meet ing over to Fisher Makepeace, who called on Dr. Adams to address the club. Dr. Adams made a splendid talk on “Mother’s Day.” He gave a history of “Mother’s Day,” stating that Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadel phia, originated the idea of reviving dormant filial love and gratitude in the celebration of a special day, and it was her idea that on that day a white carnation, or a white carnation badge, should be worn. Later it be came customary on that day, to wear a white flower if one’s mother is dead, and a red flower if one’s mother a beautiful tribute and named a hum is living. Dr. Adams paid motherhood ber of great men who gave their mothers credit for making them what they were in life. He quoted the fol lowing poem from Kipling on ‘‘Mother”: “If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o’ Mine, O’ mother o’ mine, I know whose love would follow me '. still. Mother o' mine, u mother o mine, If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o’ mine, O' mother o’ mine, I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother o’ mine, O’ mother o’ mine, If I were damned of body and soul, ■ I know whose prayers would make me whole, j Mother o’ mine, 0’ mother o’ mine.” The creation of mother was the crown of God’s creative genius. * “God could not be everywhere so he made mothers” Secretary D. B. Teague read a com munication from Scoutmasters Cook i and McMahan asking the Kiwanis Club to organize and promote a Scout tropp to be known as the Kiwanis troop. The matter of organizing this trooo wos left in the hands of the hoard of directors and the public af fairs committee. We emote the follow ing paragraph from Secretary Tea- I gue’s letter:— | Here’s To Your Health. May it ever grow better.

' ' \ JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet of the Sanford High School, which was held on Friday night, May 9, in the high school gymnasium, proved to be the most successful social event of the school year. The idea of an old-fashioned gar den was effectively carried out in the minutest details* The guests were es esccrted to their places along a wind ing path of flagstones which led through a rose arbor, past a tumbled down chimney covered with ivy and banked by hollyhock, on to a fountain which stood among moss-covered rocks and pink and white peonies. A high white picket fence, covered bv a rambling rose vine, extended a cross the back of the banquet hall, while the brick walls on the side were decorated with ivy. The atmosphere of the old English garden was further enhanced by the lighted windows and the balcony ef fect in the bpposite end of the gym nasium. The coloi* scheme of pink and white the senior class colors, was carefully carried out in the table decorations, consisting of menu and program cards of dolls dressed in colonial style for centerpieces, and bud vases filled with ^weet peas, the senior class flower. In addition, at each place was an old fashioned posy for the girls, and a buttOnnaire, for the boys. The menu also carried out the color scheme. The waitresses were dressed as English butlers. During the course of the banqpet, an effective program was given. Miss Lolita Ellis, dressed in a period cos tume of silver lace, sang a group of cld-fashioned songs, consisting of “Just an Old-fashioned Garden,” ‘<Only a Rose,” and “I'm Just a Flower From an Old Bouquet.” This was followed by the minuet which was danced by four couples, the girls wearing colonial dresses of rainbow colored. drgandy, and the boys wear ing black satin coats and breeches of the same color as the partner's dress. Frank Snipes, prr j’d M of the Ju nior plass, was master of ceremonies. Cornelia Atkins toasted the Senior class; Claude Byerlv. the Board of Trustees, and Julia Chaffin, the faeul .ty.-Responses were-made bv Fred Newman. Mir, Paul Barringer, and Miss Julia Wolfe. . * s Misses Caroline Rankin and Eunice Kneece advised and directed the oik c&sion. “ Circle 1 of the Woman’s .Missionary 'Auxiliary of Steele St. church .was —“-^~1neciMondajraft<‘ ~~" i—< and'one visitor present.

No cases of mucn importance came belore liecoruers (Joun tins wee*c. .The usual number of violations of the Prohibition law, however, were tried, oevd<ti ju.ii cases, in winch tne £>tate was unaole to proceed, were disposed of by recognizing the defendants to oe Oil hanu at tne next term. This plan in tnese particular cases was adopted in order to save the expense of leeding prisoners, held on meagre , evidence. Practically all road se'nten- 1 ces of the Court are now carrying authority to hire out prisoners. With many prisoners this may be done and costs and fines collected, which, other wise the county would be required to pay. The first case called was that of , •the state aginst K. P. Stewart, of | Harnett County. He pleaded guilty • of reckless driving and operating a ! car under the influence of intoxicants. , In attempting to negotiate the sharp ! curve near Sheriff Womble’s home : in Jonesboro, Stewart lost control of j his car and fetched up in .Sheriff !

H.'.'jeious comedy of. the Haines brand mingles with poignant heart interest. ,Sam Wood directed the new Metro Goldwyn. Mayer picture, placing His situations in a rapid-fire narrative. Lelia Hyams’ heroine in “Alias Jimmy Valentine,” does a clever char acterization as the pretty secretary he eventually marries, and Frincis X. Bushman, Jr., is seen in the role of the office manager, the heroe’s rival in love and trade. - The inimitable Polly Moran appears as the comedy servant who nroves somewhat of a heroine herself at the finish, and Ma rie Dressier is a tough bond custom er. Heine's parents are played by William V. Mong and Clara Blandick. Phvllis Crane. William Janney and Junior Coughlan play the young brothers and sisters and Wilbur Mack gives a unique performance as the Wall Street broker. Realism is lent by a Wall ^ Street brokerage office in full operation on a heavy trading day. The escape from the wedding, the automobile elope ment, scenes in the night club and a graduation party furnish the comedy interludes. The story is an original by A. P. Younger, who scenarized "Brown of Harvard,” to which the new play is, in a way, a sequel. Sarah Y. Madi son did the screen play and Charles MacArthur the dialogue.

It is further gtat ea that the two intereste control more than 65 per cent of the stock, and that the new owners plans virtually to rebuild the entire property. Work of grading tor the double tracking of the link between Hender son ana Norlina is pregressing at a satisfactory rate, and it is now esti mated that this work will be finished by July. Laying of the ties and rails will then be the next task, and it is understood to be the purpose of the railroad to have the new line in operation by the opening of the fall and winter tourist season about November-or December. Just what would'be done by the big financial interests now controlling the Seaboard is not definitely stated. It is a surmise, or the most important tire system, or the most important sections of it, would be double track ed on the main line, and that pos sibly new and modern equipment would be added, to augment that al rpariv in t/hn Rprvirp Sp»vpi-q1 new locomotives are" understood to have , been acquired recently, and the equipment on the main line trains already is equivalent to the best in ' use hufe* South -on some of the best trains operaniig between the North , and East and the principal centers : of this section of the country. !

THOMAS PLOWS I P HALF GALLON JAR LIQUOR I While plowing a neighbor’s garden in East Sanford last week Mr. Wes j Thomas plowed up a fruit jar which contained a half gallon of liquor. The j Express is informed that this liquor was buried there about nine months ago. It is claimed that liquor impro j ves with age. Probably Mr. Thomas could tell whether or not it improves i by being kept in the ground a few months. A lot of gold was uncovered by a plow in Sanford a few years ago- Now come liquor. No telling what will be plowed up in this live, pro* gressive town, next. " * DATE FOR THE OPENING OF THE PEOPLES HANK NOT YET FIXED The date for the opening of the ’Peoples Bank, which recently closed its doors on account of th£ embezzle ment of funds to the amount of $48, 000.00 by the former cashier H. C. Newbold, has not yet been fixed. It is thought there-are still some 150 to 200 depositors that have not signed up agreeing to leave their deposits in the bank should, it re-open for busi ness. They are signing up as fast as the officers and others can reach them with the papers. Some of the depositors are away in other States and it will take some time to reach them by mail and get a reply. The of ficers and board oi directors are con f d°nt that the bank will rc-open in c short time.. POULTRY SALE MAY 20th. The next cooperative poultry sale will be held in Sanford on next Tues day, May 20th. This sale has been closed with the G. S. Mills Poultry Company, of Greensboro, and they will have a car on the Atlantic and Yadkin track near the passenger de pot in Sanford to' receive the poul try. Both heavy and leghorn hens1 will sell for 20c a pound, heavy broilers, 30c, and roosters, 9c. Since the hatching season is over this will be a good time to sell hens that are not laying, and roosters, but no laying hens should be sold. Many poultry men are making the mistake of selling hens that are laying be cause eggs are cheap. This is the time of year when egg production is at its peak, consequent ly one might expect the price to be lower. However, despite the low price of eggs, the majority of hens make more money at this time of year than they do when eggs, are sell ing for 50c a dozen. Demonstration flock figures involv ing several thousand hens show that they made more money in March when eggs were selling as low as 20c a dozen in some places, than they did in December, when eggs were selling at 50c per dozen, because the average hen laid only six eggs during Dec 11 ber, and 18 or three times as many, in March. At this season of the year the market wants broilers that weigh Z pounds and up, therefore only large broilers should be offered for sale., The gains that a chick makes between the weights of one and one-half and two and one-half pounds are cheaper than the gains made before it reaches one and one-half pounds. No chick en should be brought to the sale next week that weigh less than one and one half pounds and in most cases none less than two pounds for colored chicks under two pounds will sell for only 27c a pound. MR. MCIVER ELECTED MEMRFIi OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CITY SCHOOLS x At a meeting: of the Board <?■ Trustees of the Sanford Graded .Schools Tuesday night Mr. A. H.
