The Sanford Express, ~TH URSDAY.MA Y 2971930. LOCAL liKiLLS. Mr. V. L. Rice, Jonesboro Route 4, brought .to- Kamord mst Monday morning a hawtc which he shot the day before. This hawK was almost i as large as a small sized eagifc ana measured 4 feet and 4 inches from tip to tip of his wings, his wicKed 4do King talons and Dv. uk Rotted as ii i they were capable of doing destruc tive worK among young ciuckens. j The King iviuuuiactUAihg Lioinpany has secured the contract ior rooting lour DUiidings at uie Last Caroniui Teachers Training College,at Creen- j vine, 'inis company aiso nas tne con ! tract to put tne rooting on the new ! Sheppard Library bunding in that town. Although bunding activity is 1 quiet at tms time, tne King Manuiac-1 turing Company seems to be kept1 busy lining contracts in this and oih er states. Mr. ana Mrs. Ernest Harrington, of El Paso, Tex., announce the Dirth of a daughter, Catherine Lou, May 18th. Mr. and Mrs. Harrington are former beetoiintj1- people. Mr. Har rington went to Texas for asthma! ana is much improved. He is a sub- j scribed to The Express and writes that he and his wile read everything ; in the paper each week and have j never missed a copy. ms irienuH anu reiauves in 1>ee : county will be pleased to learn that •Mr. J. Alton Mclver, former clerk of the Court of Moore county, who has been quite ill at his home in Carthage for the past few weeks, is now im proving. He is still confined to his room but it is hoped that he will be out soon. His son, Walter Mclver, who now makes his home in New York, recently returned to see his father. The Southern Sand and Gravel Com pany, which recently passed into the an order for 300 cars of gravel to go haifds of a new concern, has received in a new bridge at Kinston. This freight along -With much other ship ments of gravel from other gravel pits in Harnett county, will be hand led over the Atlantic and Wefetem Railway. This road is now handling more freight than at any time in its history. There being no preaching at the Presbyterian church last Sunday morn ing on account of services at the Au- j ditorium of the Sanford High School,' in connection with the commencement exercises of the school, Dr. R. C. Gil more, the pastor, went down to Lau rinburg and preached to the Presby terians at that place. He also spoke to the men’s Bible class at the Sunday school hour. [ Chatham County Rural Mail Car riers recently held a meeting at Siler City. A number of carriers were prsent from other counties. The meeting was addressed by Postmaster John W. Gilliam, of Sanford. A mo- j tion was made by Mr. Dan Hall, of: Burlington, and carried, to consoli date the Association of Burlington, Alamance county, with Lee, Moore and Montgomery counties. All car riers in these counties are invited to Lakeview on May 30th, for a picnic umnci. The Express is informed that boll weevils are now found in the young tiotton in the Broadway section. This is about the earliest they have ap peared in cotton in this part of the cotton belt. They are no doubt “left •overs” from last year. The little pest did its rtiost destructive wrok in this section last year and should this be a wet summer the> farmers may again expect great damage to the <erop unless they poison the pest by spraying. It looks as if they.- will have to do this if the expect to make a crop. The board of directors of the Fitts Crabtree Manufacturing Company met last week to take steps to elect a secretary-treasurer of the com pany to succeed Mr. W. H. Fitts, whose death was noted in the last is sue of this paper. It was decided that Mr. W. H. Fitts, Jr., and Miss Glenii Ross, who has been with the com pany for a number years, should Handle the business till the regular meeting of th board of directors in July, at which time a secretary- tres urer will be elected. Rev. S. A. Cotton, pastor of Steele Street Methodist church, and Dr. M. LvMatthews, an official of the church, have returned from Dallas, Tex., where they spent three weeks in at tendance upon the ciuadrennial meet ing of the General Conference of the ■ Southern Methodist church. It was a great trip and they have much to tell their friends about what they saw and heard. While Dr. Matthews enjoyed the stay in Dallas, he is not! much “stuck on” Texas, and says it j rained most of the time they spent in j that state. He says much of the I young crops in that section of the ! Lone Star State was under water. Circle 4 of the Baptist Missidnary Society had a most delightful meet ing at the home of Mrs. Leslie Fox Monday after a short business meet ing and program, Mrs. W. A. Bing- ; ham. Mrs. N. W.

Watson, of the Prince ton-Brogden School, came home Sat urday to spend the summer with her nt Rond-pidp Farm. It seems that Sanford is to have another baby golf course. It ia be ing built on the lot owned by tbe MePhail Green Houses between the Carolina Hotel and the Temple Thea- j tre. It would seem that this is a money making business if one is to judge by the number of these places of amusement now being opened in every city, town and village in the country; Two Sanford boys received awards in the special recognition given stu dents at the University. June Gun ter, Jr., was one of the 33jto win Phi Beta Kappa keys, and Ashley Sea well, was-one of the 23 student news paper men to receive special recog nition. He is a member of the busi ness staff of college magazine. County Road Superintendent Gun ter tells The Express that he has: just finished the construction of a j road from Carbonton to' Euphronia' church, a distance of four miles. That road will open up a good section and'l prove a great convenience to tfie peo-1 pie living in that part of the country. Mr. Gunter is now constructing a ' road from a point near the Avents Ferry bridge across by Salem Quart-: ers to the Hinesley school house, a ! distance of three miles. It is believ ed that this road will help to restore a number of abandoned farms. Last week The Express asked if any one knew of any old ashehoppersi in Lee county. Since making the in quiry, we have heard of one. It be longs to Mrs. B. C. Kelly, who lives near Jonesboro. She makes very fine laundry, .snap from lye blade in this old hopper. The most interesting thing connected with the history of this old ashehopper is that years ago it was used as a mill hopper by the late “Hatter” Kelly, who for years owned and operated a mill at Jones boro. The older citizens of this sec tion will no doubt recall the days when they had corn and. wheat con verted into meal and flour at this mill. These old fashioned mills have disappeared and in the march of progress the fast modem mills have taken their place. Dr. Warren W. Kay, president of I St. Mark's School, Raleigh, who de livered the baccalaurate sermon at I the Commencement of the Sanford High School last Sunday morning,! was accompanied by Mrs. Way. Rev.! and Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse, of Pit-! tsboro, were also present. All were : guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Rob ards. Mr. A. M. Gunn has for the past: week or two been quite sick at his 1 home on Hawkins Avenue. His many | friends will be pleased to learn that I he is now improving. j The first dewberries of the season j were put on the local market this week. They seem to be good sized , 'and well developed. The first if the | crop is now being gathered and it is expected that small shipments will be made from Jonesboro the Last of the week by express. The growers plan to ship a car from Cameron this . week. There is a god yield, but as many fruit growers have quit the business the shipment will not be so | large. It is thought that the prices will be good. I Miss Alice Weatherspoon, who j holds a position with the Blind In- I stitute, in Raleigh, arrived here -last week and will spend the summer with the family of her sister, Mrs. G. W. j Temple. imrteen canaidates lor member ship in the First Baptist church were baptized by the pastor, Rev. Frank C. Hawkins, last Sunday night. ' Mr. A. C.

According to Mr. Coker’s article, take the mixture with a mop about three inches wide and go down the row dragging so that a drop or so of the mixture will be on the under side of the leaf on each stalk of cotton. This Must Be Done Before Squares Come to be most Successful. The mop should be tied to a handle about two feet long for most convenient use. What You Want or Need in Fertilizer We Have It.

C. XMI FORD TRUCK Has Burly Strength ... 1 HE FORD Is a strong, capable truck. When you examine the chasis, you will see many fea tures that contribute to its reliability and per formance. An example is the new rear axle. It has a spiral gear' bevel of special truck design, with straddle mounted pinion. The housing is of exceptionally sturdy construction. Axle shifts are heavier than formerly, and because of the three-quarter floating type of construction, they serve only to turn the wheels, without carrying any of the weight of the truck or load. The 4-cylinder engineers of simple design, and will give long, reliable service. It develops 40 horse power at 2200 R.P.M. A 4-speed transmis sion provides abundant power for pulling heavy loads out of pits, and makes fast runs possible at economical engine speeds. A feature you will find of special value is the ncv wheel and tire equipment, with dual rear wheels available at small additional cost. With the dual wheels,balloon tires of one size are used throughout, so that all six disc wheels and tires nterchangeable all around. Only one spare need be carried. Brakes on the front wheels have been increased from 11 inches to 14 inches in diameter, making them the same size as those on the rear. This re sults in a high degree of saftey. Breaks are of the mechanical type, internal expanding, and are fully enclosed. The front axle is twice as strong as formerly. The front spring is heavier, with wider leaves. Front radius-rod is heavier, and king pins, wheel beaings and thrust bearings are lager. Throughout the chassis, you will see many other examples of the high quality which is built into the Ford truck. Come in and let us show you why this truck is a value far in excess of the price.
