E. Frank Andrews, the new cashier
of the Peoples Bank, and Mr. Travis,
who is connected with the Greens
boro Bank and Trust Company, and
who was here on business connected
with the Peoples Bank. These
gentlemen made brief talks, each
having something complimentary to
>say about Sanford, and predicting a
bright future for the town. Mr. An

been unusually cordial to him since
arrived here and he was sure his bank
was ready to do everything in its
power to advance the best interests
of the town and county.

up this
Dr. M. L. Matthews, who was book
ed for a talk on his trip to Dallas as
epee made a humorous talk of some
a . delegate to the Methodist Confer
ten * ihinutes in length. The doctor
must have concluded that the Con
ference would prove a dry subject to
the boys. Anyway, he confined him
self mostly to the telling of a num
bei* of new jokes which he had picked
fen in Texas. He says it rained about
fevery day while he was in Texas and
according to the report he brought
back, Texas is wet in more ways than
one. Dr. Matthews, along with his

time at the Conference.

INTRODUCES MR. WILLCOX TO
THE VOTERS
Dear Editor: ;
I ask for space to answer a few
questions which I have been asked.
The questions are similiar to this:
“Who is Willcox? Do you think he
could successfully fill the office to
which he aspires?’" So I feel like I
want to answer these questions in a
paper which hundreds read, for I
know each and every one would like
to elect a good man to the office
which Willcox is asking the people of
Lee county to give their support.!
Knowing him personally and dealing 1
with him in business affairs, allow
me to introduce you to Mr. Willcox.
He is a son of the late George W;U
ccx, who was a captain in the War
between the States 1864-65; represent
ed Moore County in the House of Re
presentatives, 1885-89; a useful man
in his community; a church. worker
to the very end. |
Mr. Martin Willcox is a prosperous ;
farmer at the old home of his father;
was for a number of years a success
ful engineer on the Atlantic Coast
Line Rail we y. We have no record of
his ever being turned off from any
public job. He was never asked to re
sign. So I think if he is elected sher
iff of Lee County he will serve the
people so faithfully and efficiently
he will hold the office till he sees fit
to give it up.
So voters, think seriously over this
matter and let’s ^ see if we can elect
a sheriff that will please the people
as much as his brother, (Mr. John
Willcox), Clerk of the Court at Car
thage, is pleasing the people of Moore
County.

THE
NEW
11-2 TON
TRUCK
Gives Service Long and Dependable
at Low Cost.
■
• • •
f. . **-»;
IN THE new Ford truck are many
features which make it unusually eco
nomical to operate, and which contri
bute to long, reliable service. Perhaps
the lubrication system has a greater
influence upon the life of an engine
than any other factor. In the Ford,
the advantages of pump, gravity and
splash systems are combined. .
Oil is first pumped to the valve
chamber. From there it flows by gra
vity to all main crankshaft and cam
shaft bearings. It also flows to
troughs into which the connecting
rods dip. This not only lubricates the
connecting-rod bearings, but causes
oil to be splashed on all other moving
parts. There are no costly drilled
shafts and pressure oil lines. The only
moving part is the pump. Simple and
sure as water running down-hill.
Why not come in today and let us
show you the other features of the
new Ford truck which add so greatly
to its value? .

SANFORD, N. C."
W. A. BINGHAM, INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF OF
LEE COUNTY.
Elsewhere in The Express will be
found an announcement by W. A.
Bingham, of his candidacy for Sheriff
of Lee County, as an independent.
In an interview with Mr. Bingham, he
had this to say:
"1 believe like old Honest Grover
Cleveland, that “Public Office is a
Public Trust,” and and. have never
subscribed to the 'preifeh'f'dSy -fcew,
apparently held by‘.many of our offi
cial. servants, that It is a ’’Private
Snap."
“I believe a great many of us al
low political expediency to over
shadow our economic judgment in
the selection and election of our pub
lic servants, and that intelligent
preparation for the exercise of suff
rage should be arrived at after im
partial, un-Prejudiced, non-political
consideration of the personal merits
and qualifications of the candidate
and his proposed policies.
At this time the matter of tax re
duction is engaging the attention of
all, mcludnig some of the brilliant
minds of our state. This tax question
is as old as civilization and has al
, -v. .«..wvwu any* iwa ill
ways been more generally discussed
than all other political issues com
, - ... J iODUCB cu
bined, but like the weather, there is
and has been a lot of talk about it,
but very little has ever been done
about it. I am aware, that in the
main, this is a question to be sonsid
ered and acted upon by legislation,
and I have no high sounding theories
to advance to that fcrandh ’ of our
State government whose business it
ts to adjust such matters. But, I
have some very practical ideas about
what can be done and what should be
done beiy in our own county towards
relieving our own burden of taxation,
I believe the way to reduce is to
reduce, and I believe that reduction,
like charity, should begin at home.
Therefore, if I am elected to the
office of .Sheriff of Lee county, I pro
pose- to serve at a reduction of ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS per year
from the present salary of that office,
provided the comity commissioners
will reduce every other office in pro.
county officials are still draw
ing war time salaries, while many de
serving men and women of our coun
ty are forced'ta accept positions at
less than half their former wage.
County officers should be willing to
accept salaries to • conform to the
income of their constituents. I can
do it and am willing to do it.
I my personal affairs I have always
practiced economy and frguality, and
public affairs should be conducted
along the same line.
I call upon all taxpayers and vot
ters to discuss and agitate the Issues
herewith submitted and join me in
your votes on election day In an ef
fort to reduce oiir tax burden.
It is my aim to have all the paid
deputies under my charge in uniform
or some method of identification to
show as an officer of the law, to elim
inate any undue expense incurred by
the countv to prosecute offenders of
the law that mistakes officers for
highwaymen Who undertake to vio
late the law and suspect officers to be
people who might hold them up. Be
lieving that offenders of the law
would submit to arrest If they knew
that officers were demanding such
and not if they were ignorant of the
purpose of any person who stopped
them.”
The candidacy of Mr. Bingham was
endorsed at the Republican County
Convention.
