• V —
‘ A. two weeks mixed term of Lee Su
perior Court will convene at the Court
** House next Monday morning at 10
o’clock, with Judge !W. A. Devin, of
Oxford, presiding. Judge Devin has
held court here before and is well
known to many of our people. Since
the Recorder’s Court was established
the criminal dockets of the Superior
Court are not so heavy. There are
now nine prisoners in jail, but some
of these are Federal prisoners and
will not be tried in Dee Superior
Court. Most of the case to be tried
are of a petty nature, and have to
do with making and transporting
liquor.
Two cases of outstanding "import
ance are the one charging W. A. Ma
ness, who is now in jail, with attempt
ing to kill Dr. J. P. Monroe and one
against H. C. Newbold, now out on
bond, charged with embezzlement in
connection with the Peoples Bank.
Both these cases are docket for trial
and it is expected that both sides
will be ready when* they are called.
It will probably take much Of the first
week to try these cases and the trials
of the defendants will be attended by
a packed court room.
It is thought that the criminal dock
et can be cleared the first week and
the civil docket disposed of the sec
ond week.
!W. MV LEMONS DROWffED
IN PALMER’S POND
The report {cached Sanford Mon
day afternoon to the effect that W.
M. Lemons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liams Lemon, of the Lemon Springs
section, was accidentally drowned in
Palmer’s Pond, near Lemon Springs
station, that afternoon about 2 o’clock.
Upon learning of -the tragedy, Dr. J.
F. Foster, County Coroner, went over
to the scene of the accident to inves
tigate the matter. He found that
the body had boon removed from the
r and a few people of the neigh
» more )
or five feet deep. He grasped the
body by the overalls worn by Lemons
and brought it out to a small house
near the bank of the Take, where Dr.
Foster examined it In an effort to
resuscitate young Lemons much of.
the water that had accumulated in
his lungs was worked out, but he
had been dead to long to restore him
to life.
Charles Bullard, a companion, was
in the water with Lemons at the time
he was drowned, but for some reason
failed to go to his assistance. It is
thought Lemons stepped in a deep
hole and lost control of himself., A
number of children were at the lake
at the time the accident happened. It
was also reported that young women
were there from Sanford, but we
were unable to get their names.
Lemons, who was 27 years of age,
was a single man. Friends and neigh
bors join the family in lamenting his
tragic passing. The funeral was
held at Ephesus Wednesday morning
at 11 o’clock, and the interment made
in the cemetery at the church.

FOURTH OF JULY IN SANFORD.
Sanford- did not celebrate the 4th
of July with an elaborate program,
drawing thousands of people from the
surrounding country. The day seem
ed more like Sunday than the glori
oua Fourth. The banks were closed
at the noon hour. The only outward
sigh of a holiday were the flags dis
played In the business district. Many
Sanford people-spent the day at Lake
view, fishing, rowing, bathing, danc
ing. Others attended the celebra
tion of the Fourth at Siler Qty, and
several thousand people spent the day
there. At night many attended the
movies at The Temple Theatre, while
others amused themselves on the min
iature golf courses. Sanford and
Fort Bragg played a good game sf
ball here in the afternoon, the latter
team winning by * score of il to 6.
MORE LAND IN DEWBERRIES
PROSPECT FOB NEXT YEAR
The satisfactory returns from the
dewberry crop is encouraging farmers
to set mote plants, and it ia believed
now that the acreage for next spring
will be materially** increased. While
the margin of profit is not as great
as some would like to see, there is a
sentiment that some profit has been
realized, and that a considerable sum
of money has come to workers in the
fields through the production and
harvesting of the crop,, which has an
appreciable effect on conditions. So
the dewberry is finding favor again.
LAND SOLD FOR TAXES AT
COURT HOUSE LAST MONDAY
A large crowd of people from all
parts of the county were present at
the Court House last Monday to attend
the rale of land for taxes. Mr. Dolph
Griffin, county tax-collector, and his
assistant, Mrs. Griffin, were kept
busy for several hours Monday morn
ing signing tax receipts for * people
who called to keep their lands from
being soUJ by. paying their taxes.
They would have saved the cost by
paying their taxes four weeks ngO.|
Very little of the land that was sold
for taxes was bought by individuals.
Most of it was bid in by the county, j
The owners have one year to redeem :
it. Should they not do this the
county wil take steps to dispose of it.

After anouncing the committees,
President Ingram spoke briefly of his
recent trip to Chicago as representa
tive of the Sanford club at the Silver
Anniversary of Rotary International.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Ingram.
On the way to the convention city
they met a number of Rotarians at
Richmond.At Charlottesville the num
ber had increased to a solid train of
sixteen cars and the trip was con
tinued through West Virginia, Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois, reaching Chi
cago in the early afternoon.
Chicago, where Rotary was organ
ised a quarter of a century ago, was
in gala attire for the occasion. Rep
resentative Rotarians were on hand
from rhordthan forty countries where
now exists, and the great sta
• ajrdho held
h lights of the
aiding international good will, and
the personal appearance on the stage
of Paul P. Harris, who founded the
first Rotary Club in Chicago, 25
years ago. It was Mr. Harris’ first
appearance at an international con
vention in some years, and he was
greeted with tumultuous applause by
a standing audience who spoke in dif
ferent tanuguages. Another big event
[ of the meeting was the address of
President M. Eugene Newsome. The
I The kynote of his address was Friend- j
' ship, Rotary’s Ideal, which he declar
I ed “is gradually though surely find
ing its way in the material attitudes
and handshakes of the people of the
world.”
Among the outstanding speakers j
of the convention were Prince Ive-;
sato Tokugwa of Japati, president of
1 the Japanese House of Peers; Admir
al Mark Kerr, of London, famous na
val authority; and Sir Henry Thorn
ton, of Quebec,' head of the Canadian
Railway and one of the foremost ex
ecutives of the world.
Rotary’s simple idea of friendship
and understanding as the sovereign
remedy for distrust and misunder
standing has challenged the faith and
hope of men the world over, and its
ever widening influence is drawing
serious-minded men of good will to
gether from all the nations of the j
earth in an effort to dispel doubts
and fears and suspicion and to pro-,
mote good will and understanding of
each others problems. It is a signi
ficant thing that so many men of dif- ^
ferent nations get together in a Ro
tary International Convention and
meet on a common ground.

—McKay’s Quarters at One
Time Owned by Dr. Neill and
John McKay.
A few days ago a representative of
this paper, accompanied by C. V. Lind
ley, of Siler City, a traveling repre
sentative of the International Harv
ester Company, W. M. Holt, of the
Holt & Mann, Hardware Company, of
Jonesboro, and Alton Groce, Chief of
Police of Jonesboro, made a trip to
"McKay’s Quarters/' on the Lee
county side of the Cape Fear river,
above the Avent's Ferry Bridge, to
visit one of the few horseless farms
in this part of the State. Last Jan
uary Sam V. Stevens, one of the most
successful farmers in the Broadway
section, bought 900 acres of land ly
ing along the Cape Fear River in Mc
Kay's Quarters from the Salmon heirs
of Harnett county. For com, wheat
and other grain and all kinds of
grasses this is some of the most pro
ductive land in North Carolina. With
favorable seasons there could be al
most enough com raised in McKay’s
Quarters, including the 63 acres on
McKay’s Island, to almost feed the
population of Lee county, including
that used for making liquor and
home brew.
Back in the days before the Civil
War there were 2,000 to 3,000 acres in
the original tract in McKay’s Quart
ers. There was a heavy original
growth of timber on this land: The
planters who settled along the Cape
Fear river, opened and cultiva < d this
land with slave labor. They mi de im
mense crops of corn when the seasons
hit right. The Express is informed
that as much as 600 barrels of com
have been made on the 63 acres on
McKay’s Island in one season, and the
land along the river bank’is^?' nst as
productive as the land on the ; nd.
.Some time previous ty the Civil
War Dr John McKay and D Neill
f under cultivation;*™? house In'wfifcB
j they lived at the lower entrance to
f McKay's Quarters, has been tom
down and an old well is the
only thing that shows that
at one time there was a dwelling
there. Dr. John McKay, who was a
medical doctor, sold his interest in
the place to Dr. Neill McKay, who
was for a number of years pastor of
Buffalo and other Presbyterian
churches in this section, and moved
to South Carolina or Georgia. In
going from Sanford to Lillington one
sees a beautiful old h6me on the
right that suggests the colonial ar
chitecture of the Old South, with its
stately columns and deep front porch.
This is the dwelling that Dr. McKay
built and moved to after leaving Mc
Kay’s Quarters. His daughter, who
married the late S. A. Salmon, who
was for a number of years sheriff of
Hamet county inherited her fathers'
interest in the land in McKay’s Quar
ters at his death.
Some 250 of the 900 acres purchas
ed by Mr. Stevens from the Salmon
heirs lies along the river, and has
not been in cultivation in several
years. He has put a large acreage in
com and plans to open a live stock
farm at McKay’s Quarters within the
next year or two. He expects to stock
his farm with improved breeds of
cattle and should the venture prove a
success he will engage in the business
on a large scale. The land is well
suited to the culture of clover and all
kinds of grasses as well as com, wheat
and other grains.
1C was interesting to watv.ii uua
tig Farmall cultivate*1, which was
manufactured by the International
Harvester Company and sold by the
Holt & Mann Hardware Company, of
Jonesboro, in operation. It covered ,
two rows at a time and cultivated it
beautifully. One man can operate it
without any trouble and it can be
turned at the ends of the rows in
about the space that a horse and plow
can turn. With this tractor and big
plow Mr. Sevens prepared the land
And planted 15 acres in com in one
lay. He says he will raise this crop ;
jf corn without having a- horse or
single-tree on the farm. The crop will 1
je entirely made by improved farm
machinery. He expects to be able to
make corn at about one half the cost <
)i raising it by the old method of ;
'arming. This horseless cultivator will
cultivate two acres per hour or 20 ,
icres per day. Holt & Mann have sold
i number of these cultivators to farm ,
»rs in Lee county since they first
>egan to handle them. They have done ;
nuch to stimulate improved methods <
>f farming in this section and in a
*ew years we may hear of a number j
of horseless farms in this part of the
State.
This farm machinery is especially
adapted to the cultivation of land
along Deep and Cape Fear Rivers
and other bodies of land where big
acreage is under cultivation. But this
improved machinery is also a success
on small farms as has been proven
in this count#
Back in the days before the Civil
War when the planters cultivated the
farms along the Cape Fear with slave
labor it is said they would engage in
poker games, slaves being the stakes.
Often, the story runs, the loser would
have a slave swim the river and go
to the winner on the other side.
BOLL WEEVIL EXPERT TO BE IN

Mr. W. B. Callahan, who is an ex
pert in boll weevil control work will
be in Lee county, July 17th, 18th,

mine when to start dusting.
Mr. Callahan will be available for
