While Josiah W. Bailey, candidate for the Senatorial nomination, carried the State over Senator F. M .Sim mons in the Democratic primary last Saturday by an overwhelming major ity, Lee county was maced ni the Simmons column by a email majority, the result showing that he had a ma jority of 19 over both Bailey and Es tep. While the registration was the heaviest in the history of the comity, the vote was light, there being only about 60 per cent of the vote caBt. The heavy rain that fell at intervals during the day /no doubt kept many away from the polls. Mr. Estep, wet candidate for the nomination for the Senate, polled only 20 votes in the county. The Republicans also held a pri mary to vote on candidates for Unit ed States Senator. Butler received 48, Tucker 17, Pritchard 22 and Dor sett 4 votes. This showed that the - Republicans did not take the primary for naming a candidate for Senator very seriously. x ue vuung was prevty aeavy xxi both East and West Sanford precincts up to about 11 o’clock, when a heavy rain set in which seemed to throw a damper on things and, although it cleared up to some extent the voting was not so heavy in. the afternoon. Many workers went out in all direc tions and brought in men and womn to the polls in cars."'. At times the women went to the polls in large numbers and seemed to take about as much interest in voting as men. Al though the voting was carried on under a new system everything work ed smooth and without friction. The Australian ballot system seemed to In the race on the county ticket A. A. P. Seawell, candidate for the House of Representatives, took the lead over his opponent, H. M. Jack son, who represented Lee county in the House two years ago, winning by a vote of 1,168 to 978, a majority of 190. One of the great surprises of the primary was the vote for sheriff. The candidates for the nomination for this office were Shriff Sam Womble, A. R. Rives, and Martin Willcox. All made a canvass of the county; Many thought Sheriff Womble would get the nomination as he had the advant age of holding the office. Mr. Rives Was a candidate two years ago, and as he was asking for the office the second time, many thought that this would be against him. As Mr. Will cox led the ticket two years ago for county commissioner, and has a large following, some thought that he '■ ■ — _ y■'%!* .*1 ■ ii cl. a — —- . — a - * ■ .A ^A wwniwi HK nugwt »W1IC.

As Biley received the majority of the votes he is the nomi ae% large crowd congregated in front of the Thomas drug store to read the returns as they were placed on a bulletin board. As they were in tensely interested in the result many remained there until early Sunday morning hours. They also received the returns from all parts of the state in the senatorial contest by a radio which was in the store. Many of the Simmons people soon lost in terest in the returns and want home. The county board of elections which is composed of K. E. Seymour, chair man; J. F. Womble and John H.

With his retirement | from public life the chapter is closed, j However, with the new order of things, let us put our shoulder to the wheel and help to elect the full Democratic ticket next fall, including the candidate for the United States Senate. Let us lay aside everything that would arrest progress and de velopment along all lines of endeavor.

Let’s work together for the good of each other, for prosperity, and for the upbuilding of the county, State and Nation. ] I thank each and every co-worker that helped in the campaign for Mr. Simmons.

McQueen and associates who have been developing the Keen fields, and said that if River coal this man had his mines in Pennsyl vania or in West Virginia where such an opportunity would be a chance of the highest value, money in end less quantities Would come to the help of its development- “The coal here in a field that is absolutely without any other competitive fuel in the State, is of the highest quality and in abundance, and the worth of these coal deposits to the State,” Mr. Roth said, ‘‘is beyond the possibil lty of computing. “Here are the brick works, with shale of better character than is found in any quantity south of Mary land or Pennsylvania with a big field fat- coal arid brick and with many other resources that can be utilized with the coal and the electric power that are available."

This item has increased over a ten year period nearly 100 per cent caused by the extension of rural and star service to almost an equal per centage. The delivery of parcel post which has necessitated the ex clusive use of a truck and the inau guration Star route or bus service twice daily to Carthage and once daily to Greensboro, both of which supercede train service at much less expense.

As was recently stated m these col umns the boll ^veeviis have already made their appearance on the young &nd tender stalks and should fthe rainy season continue they will get such a strong hold on the cotton tnat it will be impossible to exterminate them unless the farmers begin the work of destruction at once.

We expect to see a revival in canning all over the State compar able to the early days of homi dem onstration work.

Some of the main ideas to be stressed in canning this summer will be freshness of product, uniform grad ing, skillful packing, careful sealing, and accuracy of timing the process ing. An effort will be made to con serve the vitamins also. Women at tending the first school said that soup mixture, tomato and juice toma to puree headed the list of best sell ers on the curb markets and these will be prepared by the farm women.

Mr. Underwood, who was a World War veteran, served over seas in the 117th engineers, 42nd division. He was gassed in action and contracted tuberculosis of the hips which caused him intense suffering and it was with difficulty that he was able to get about on crutches.

The Greensboro Bank & Trust Co., of Greensboro, opened a branch bank Monday in the building on Wicker street formerly occupied by the Peo ples Bank which closed some two months ago on account of a defal cation of $48,0Q0 by its cashier, H. C. Newbold. Previous to the opening of the bank a board of directors com posed of the following citizens of Sanford was elected to assist in hand ling the affairs of the bank: O. P. Makepeace, W. A. Crabtree, J. R. Ingram, R. E. Bobbitt, J. H. Kennedy and W. R. Hartness. TTiese are among the leading and most suc cessful business men in Sanford and all who know them feel that the af fairs of the bank will be safe in their hands. Mr. B. B. Vinson, president of the Greensboro Bank and Trust Com pany, says that Mr. E. Frank An drews, who was made cashier of the Sanford branch, is admirably qualifi ed for the position which he has been chosen to fill. Discussing the opening of the bank at Sanford, the Greens boro News says, among other things: “With capital of $1,000,000 and sur plus of $500,000, the Greensboro Bank and Trust Company is recognized as one of the strongest financial institu tions in this T>art of the country. Decision to open a branch at Sanford is regarded as indicative of its steady growth and increasingly wide service.” The people of Sanford feel that the opening of this bank here means more to the town and section than any development that has come to the place in years. . A combination of caDitai and undeveloped resources will open up new channels and give the town and section a commercial advantage never before enjoyed. A spirit of optimism has taken posses sion of the town and all look for great things during the next few years. BOARD OF TRUSTESS NAMED FOP.
