FIVE CENTS
INFANT ABANDONED j
AT PALMER’S FILLING
STATION AT LIBERTY
Discovered by Mrs. Palmer On
Sunday Morning; Cradled In
Box; Apparently Doped—Is
Probably Month Old; Theory
Is that Child was Abandoned
by Party or Parties Driving
Ford Automobile
A beautiful black-eyed, blacK-haired
baby boy, apparently five or six
weeks old, was found abondoned at
the I. (5. Palmer filling station, about
three and one-half miles from Liberty
by Mrs. -Palmer, wife of the proprie
tor, as she opened the door of the es
tablishment Sunday morning about 7
o’clock.
Numerous theories have been ad
vanced about how the child happened
to be left at the service station, but
the general opinion is that a Ford
automobile, which is said to have
pulled into the service station, had
some connection with the abondon
ment. It was stated by several that
they heard a car roll into the service
Btation, and then pull away, and curl
rent belief is that occupants of the
car deposited the human cargo on the
doorstep of the service station, and
departed. ^
When discovered by Mrs. Palmer,
the infant was found to be in a box
about a foot square and another box,
containing clothing, was close by. The
child, perfectly normal, apparently
bad either been drugged or exhaig.fied
from its effort to leave the box, for
one of Its hands was badly bruised,
seemingly ftom contact with the ce
ment. When found, though, it ap
peared to be doped and it was several
hours later before it appeared to re
gain its normal mental faculties.
Mrs. Palmer reported the affair to
Officers J. W. Moore and X H. Dixon,
who, after a consultation, decided to
bring the baby to Asheboro for final
disposition. They were accompanied
by Mrs. J. T. Underwood, member of
the Woman’s club of liberty, who
sver loses an opportunity to be of
service.
mere ueiug iw wwicx
fase Officer T, F, Bulla arranged with
Mrs. Brookshire to -care for the baby
at the jail until final arrangements
can be made. The Woman’s club of
Liberty haa contemplated adopting
the baby and others have been look-'
inanity and the wonder is how an^
one could abandon him.
Police are investigating several
clues in the hope of finding the party
or parties responsible for the aban
donment. One of the most tangible
pieces of evidence points to Jonesboro
as figuring in the episode, as the box
containing the baby also contained a
piece of wrapping paper, bearing the
label of Avent & Thomas, mercantile
establishment of Jonesboro.,
Anyway, the homeless one has had
plenty of attention and he enjoys his
food and cares little who is responsi
ble for his comfort.—Asheboro Cou
rier.
Officers received a tip that Dr. Bob
Painter attended the woman who gave
her name as Helen Roberts. It turns
out that the child was bom at the
home- of Wes Carroll near Sanford.
After revenue officers visited the
home and saw her and the child in
an upper room, she returned to the
home of her parents in this county.
Sheriff Sam Womble and Deputy
Paul Watson of this county, and
Sheitff Milliken, of Randolph, went
to the McLondon home and found it
locked. Admittance was refused, but
members of the family finally con
sented and permitted Deputy Watson
to enter and interview the young
woman. She at first denied that the
child belonged to her, but finally com.
feased that it was her child. Her
story to Watson was that a strange
man and woman came' to the home
and asked if she did not have a baby
to give aiway. She said she gave it
to them and they carried it off. Af
ter being further questioned about
the matter, she finally acknowledged
that she had Walter fields and Aubry
Walters, of Greensboro, to carry it
off. It is stated that she left the
Carroll home with them. It is report
ed that Walters has been arrested.
Deputy Sheriff Watson has a warrant
for Fields.

LOCAL BRIEFS
Mr. J. 6. Boone, who is farming
this year on the Stephens place be
low Jonesboro, presented The Express
yesterday with a basket Of beautiful
Georgia Belles and Elbertas raised
by him this season. The flavor of
the peaches was unusually fine and
they were" clear of worms. The
sandy soil of 'Lee county will pro
duce as fine peaches as can be rais
ed in the world.
While coming into town Tuesday
afternoon a Ford driven by Harold
Gilmore struck the, car driven by
Rev. A. J. Groves,’who was moving
out of the parking place on Carth
age street.. The Ford turned over,
but fortunately the driver escaped
without injury- The cars were dam
aged very little.
The State Highway Patrol in addi
tion to performing the duties of law
enforcement produced last year a
profit hf $10,000 for the State. The
37 members of the Patrol, carrying
out their work of enforcing highway
laws and promoting education and
safety of the highways warned 146,
966 drivers of road violations and ar
rested 4,437 offenders. . Of these ar
rests 639 were for reckless driving;
454 for drunken driving; 394 for fail
ure to return cards Showing that
faulty equipment had been repaired;
142 for not oobserving signals;133 for
minor offenses, and 2,025 on miscel
laneous charges. Patrolmen travel
ed, 1,172724 miles in performance of
their duties.
It was stated in The Express last
week that Mr. C. E. Teague had re
signed at superintendent of the city
and county schools; that his resigna
tion was accepted at a joint meeting
of the county board of education and
the board of trustees of the Sanford
Graded Schools and a committee ap
poited to recommend a man for the
vacancy. The Express is informed
that the committee has received ap
plications from a number of men who
are now engaged in school work, but
who would like to make a change.
Some of these men are prominent in
school work in the State and the com
mittee feels that it has some good
material to select from. A joint
meeting M the hoard will probably
be held in a few days so as to hear
the report of* the committee, and elect
a superintendent.

Drouth that had begun to grip this
section during the recent unusually
hot spell was definitely, even if tem
porarily,-broken during the past week
Rains beginnig in this section a week
ago yesterday kept up daily through
Friday the generous showers in
many section of Lee county and
the Piedmont section generally. On
several days and nights gentle rain
fell for hours at times, extending over
a rather wide area.
The streams in this section have
not been materially raised by the
rainfall which during the week totall
ed several inches the daily flow was
somewhat affected. This county was
visited by a number of showers dur -
ing June, which held off the drouth
that has scouraged nearby sections
to the west. *
Friday the United States weather
bureau chief at Washington announc
ed that some twenty states are suffer
ing from an unusually prolonged
drought^unong them Virginia, which
borders this state on the north. Ken
tucky, Ohio, Maryland and West Vir
ginia were other states named as
par$dularly hard (hit, having been
short of rain for eight months Twefve
other southern and middle western
stales are also short of moisture.
J. B, Kincer, chief of the Weath
er Bureau’s Division of Agricultural
Meteodology, calculated that in one
. State alone—Ohio—the shortage of
rainfall on the basis of normal pre
cipitation. has actually amounted to
140,000,000 tons of water a day for
the past 137 days.
li inis aeierea moisture naa to du ■
carried into the State for use by far
• mers, municipal water plants, and
water power companions, Kincer said,
it would mean 25,000 trains of 100 !
cars each would be needed every day.
Each car of every train he said would
have to carry 50 tons of water.
During the period from March 1,
to July 17, Dr. Kincer continued,
only .64 per cent of normal rainfall
has been experienced throughout the
"Buckeye State” while other hrouth
clutched states have been in an even
worse plight.
In Kentucky, from March 1 to June
1, he said, there has been only 50 per
cent of normal rainfall, while over
a seven-months period starting with
December, Virginia has had only 65
per cent and West Virginia only 66
per cent.
Warning already has been issued
in parts~of Maryland that unless rain
falls inhabitants will be forced to cur
tail their water consumption.

BUSES REFUSE TQ STOP HERE
The following announcement was
received here Wednesday morning:
"Raleigh, North Carolina, July 22,
effective immediately, and until fur
ther notice busses will not stop just
outside the city limits of Sanford
and will make no stops in the city.
We indeed regret that this is neces
sary, but it has been forced on us as
some of the city officials will not per
mit us to make what-we consider ade
quate stops in Sanford, Safety
Transit Company, by H. Pierce Braw
ner, vice-president, and general man
ager.”
mis I allows an ordinance passed
Tuesday' afternoon which prohibits
buses stopping at any point in the ,
city except at the union' bus station.
For several days the buses of the
Safety Transit Company have been j
stopping to discharge and take on
passengers at the Wiirik hotel.
This was objected to by the manage
ment of the Carolina and Sanford
hotels and as the .Safety Transit Co.,
declined to stop this practice, two
of their drivers were placed under
arrest for violating the city traffic
laws, by cutting too sharply across!
the street intersections. Bonds were '
given for their appearance for trial
on Friday afternoon. The announce
ment of the Safety Transit Company
that they will discontinue stopping
their buses in Sanford has been
brought to the attention of the State
Corporation Commission by the city
officials for their ruling in the mat
ter. In the meantime, passengers
going to or from Sanford on this
line are going outside the city limits
in order to use the buses. The Safe
ty Transit Company operates a bus
line four tiroes each way daily be
tween Charlotte and Raleigh in addi
tion to their through New York
Miami buses. The bus line from
Greensboro to Sanford, Sanford to
Fayetteville and Durham to RoCk
ingham. which is known as the
Greensborp-Fayetteville bus line, is
not affected by the orders.

THRIFT REWARDED
ONCE AGAIN”
Semi-Annual Financial State
ment of the Sanford Building
& Loan Association Made at
fhe Monthly Meeting of the
Board of Directors —Pleased
to Note That Shares in thej
14th Series Would Mature as
of August 1st in the Usual j
Time, Six Years, Five Months.j
The board of directors in their
regular monthly meeting held on July
17th, reviewed the semi-annual finan
cial statement --of the Sanford Build
ing & Loan Association as of June
$0th, and were pleased to note that
the shares in the 14th series would
mature as of August 1st, in the ust^
al time, six years, five months.
The financial statement shows that
the Association has made some pro
gress despite the so-called financial
depression, yet this is no surprise if
history can be relied upon to repeat
itself. During the Cleveland panic
of 1893 and the Roosevelt panic of
1907 the Building and Loan Associa
tions of the United States held their
own with fewer failures than any
other class of financial institutions.
Secretary Brinn advises The Ex
press that he expects to pay out a
nice little sum of money to holders
| of matured stock August 1st. Thrift
| rewarded once again.
To others who hold shares in the
14th series and have borrowed on
them to buy or build a home there
will come unique pleasure and happi
ness when the family can gather
around the table and see the old mort
gage which has been sticking like a
plaster, tom to thread.
The board of directors is composed
of W. A. Crabtree, 0. P. Makepeace,
J .H. Monger, E. M. Underwood, T.
S. Cross, W. R. Hartness, Dr. J. I.
Neal, A. M. Hubbard, and A. H. Mc
Iver, who succeeds the late W. H.
Fitts.

PEACHES SELLING AT
GOOD PRICES
rhe Orchards in the Sandhills
Now a,.Hive of Industry—
Thousands of Dollars Worth
of Peaches Go Through San
ford Daily by Both Rail and
Truck—Local Market Well
Supplied With Delicious Fruit
—Six Cars Shipped This Sea
son From the Wilkins Orchard
To New York.
The movement of peaches from th$
Sandhill section has been gaining mo
mentum for the past ten days. The
early varieties brought good prices,
owing to the light crop over the
South, and it is expected that Elber
tas and Georgia Belles will bring con
siderably better prices than for sev
eral years past. The first Elbertas
moved on the 15th and for the next
two weeks the orchards will be a hive
of industry.
The fruit is mostly of good quality,
except in the cases of few orchards
that were not so well cared for as
in the past. The variety is so far
short of the average yield, however,
that numbers of the Georgia and
Florida packers who come here from
year to year are moving on further
North, as local help seems to be suffi
cient to harvest the crop.
The Mountain Ice Co., located at
Aberdeen, is icing around twenty
five cars daily. The general average
of prices for peaches now is around
$2.00 to $2.50, f. o. b. shipping point.
If you wish to see the crop gathered
packed and shipped with perfect sys
tem go out to the Wilkins peach farm
near Lemon Springs. It will pay one
to make a trip to the orchard to see
the laborers at work and to see the
trees loaded with the beautiful ripe
fruit. This is one of the best orchards
in the peach producing area and the
Wilkins peach has the reputation of
being the best raised in this State.
No trouble is experienced in selling
the fruit ,/from this orchard to the
peach dealers in the Northern mar
kets. The first shipped from this or
chard this season brought good pri
ces. Six cars of peaches have been
shipped from this orchard this sea
son to New York. It is estimat that
the crop will amount to 18 or L

SENIOR B. Y. P. U. SOCI.A L
IS “OLD-FASHIONED” S. I )0L
One^of the most original a 1 de
lightful social affairs of the season
was enjoyed by approximately thirty
five young people of the Senior B.
Y. P. U. of the Sanford Baptist church
when on Friday evening at 7:lb they
gathered at the church dressed as
school children carrying their books,
pencils, and buckets of lunch. The
costumes recalled various ages and
styles of the past, some being dressed
as probably their grandmothers did
when children; while others appeared
as very modern youths. The “children*’
enjoyed games such as “Ring Around
the Roses,” “Hop Scott,” etc., the
stem Professor Ichabod Snodgrass,
(James Mclver) met the ‘‘children”
in the door ringing the bell for books.
Classes began promptly after the
pupils were seated and the new mem
bers enrolled. Reading, spelling, ari
thmetic, and drawing lessons were
held with Tildy Ann Grabber (Katie
Yates) declared the best artist. Solo
mon Socks (Ralph Groce) was pre
sented with a prize for being th(
“best dressed? boy /at school; the
judges were unable to decide who was
best dressed among the girls, Saman
tha Fiddlesticks (Luna Yates) or Lu
cretia Onionskin (Floy Rivers). In
drawing for the prize, however, Lu
cretia won. Mrs. Arnos Onionskin
(Mrs. F. B. Van Sant) visited the
school in order to see that her “chil
dren” were properly started off m
these parts. Rev. Ezra Grabber (F. C.
Hawkins), a minister of the commun
ity, together with his family, visited
the school and cracked wise jokers. Af

Co-Operate and Work for the
Upbuilding of Sanford and
This Section. ' .'
Kiwanian J. E. Brinn had charge of
the program at the meeting of the
Kiwanis Club at the Carolina Hotel
last Friday night. He made a most
excellent talk in appealing to the
members of the club to pull together
and work for the advancement of
the schools of the town and county
under the management of the new
superintendent who will be named in
a few days to succeed Mr. C. E. Tea
gue who recently resigned to take
school work in another city of the
State. “Give the committee a chance
to get a good man and give the man
your hearty support for a year before
passing judgment,” said Mr. Brinn.
He was impressed with the spirit
which was shown by the Greensboro
people who attended a banquet re
cently held at the Wilrik Hotel in
honor of bank officials of Sanford and
Greensboro.
Kiwanian Frank Andrews, former
ly of Greensboro, who was recently
made cashier of the Greensboro Bank
and Trust Company, of this place,
made a very timely talk on the sub
ject of co-operative spirit that enabl
ed it to become a city in a few short
years. “When I left Greensboro and
came to Sanford I made up my mind
that from that time -on I would be
for Sanford 100 per cent.” He ex
pressed the opinion that Sanford bits
the spirit that will make things go.
He thinks that Sanford’s splendid lo
cation together with its wonderful
back country will do much to make
it a city in the years

The egg breaking stunt pulled off
by Kiwanian J. W. Kirkpatrick made
one forget for the time being that
the weather was hot. Blindfolded he
thought he was walking on eggs, but
was relieved to discover that he was
making flour out of soda crackers.
Kiwanian T. A. Wicker gave some
facts about his past life.
The following paragraphs are
quoted from the weekly letter of
Secretary Teague: •*.
THE GOVERNOR COMING: Not
referring to O. MAX GARDNER, but
to ALLISON HONEYCUTT, Gover
nor of the Carolines District—a real
Governor. He expects to be with us
for the meeting this week. June and
the rest of us are anxious to have a
full house to greet him. He has a
high opinion of our Club, and he will
bring us a fine spirit and inspiration.
Louise may possibly be with us also.
If she gets here, we may “Row’' some
more, “Work on the railroad” and do
some of those other familiar stunts
that enlivened the meetings so much
during the winter months.
THE THERMOMETER: About all
one can say about the weather is:
As a rule, man’s a fool
When it’s hot he wants it cold
When it's cold he wants it hot.
Always wanting what is not.
AT THE CAROLINA: You may
count,oil Harold’s having a bevy of
electric fans singing for us Friday
night at 6:30, thus making the din
ing room “The coolest spot in town.”
So don’t stay away to keep cdol. Har
old will cool you, Allison will warm
you, Louise will soothe you, and you
will go away happier than you came
