THURSDAY, VOLUME 44, No. 48. 'GUST 14, 1930. FIVE CENTS MORE THAN 1,500 PEOPFE SAW - THE LIVE STOCK SPECIAL Many Farmers and Their Wives From the Surrounding County Visited the Train and Manifested Great Interest in Hearing the Various Exhibits Explained—Some Made Notes of the Information Given Out ' By Those in Charge of the Ex hibits—Farmers Were Told It Was the Practice of the One Crop System That Had En slaved Them. The additional income from, live stock to the present one crop system will add more to the momentum of' better times than all the help the Fe deral Farm Board will ever be able to extend, W. Tap Bennett, cottonseed products association expert, told farm men and women of Lee County at the Livestock Development Special operat ed by the Atlantic Coast Lane Kail way cooperating with State College and the Deartment of Agriculture at Sanford Thursday. “Continuation of the one crop sys tem has not only depleted our soils but has enslaved those farmers wno have persisted in the practice. Thou sands of farmers in north Carolina are mentally enslaved because they have grown cotton year after year until tney honestly feel tnkt .they can t do anyitang else," declared Mr. Bennett, “prosperity for the Carolina farmer Will not arrive unless the prac tice of the rotation of crop system, based on livestock, is used in tne State. Food and feeds must be mar keted through livestock.” Dr. 'p. M. Abernathy, assistant State veterinarian, declared two of every three pigs born in Lee County died before reaching a marketable age. He urged the farmer to fight against parasites, diseases and un sanitary conditions responsible for a high death rate. ’ “The control of animal parasites is one of the most important problems facing the livestock industry in North Carolina, Dr. Abernathy said, “and turns to sanitary methods.” '._J More than 1200 people visited the exhibition while in Sanford. Train of 7 Cars. The train is made up of 7 cars. The first carries grain and bedding mate rial for the livestock and a small pow er plant which generates light and power for the train. • The next has exhibits of poultry, weed for poultry, and information about breeding, cull ing, management and marketing. The third car contains a standard poultry and brooder house. Valuable infor mation about the construction of such houses, the erection of comfort able and sanitary quarters, are-shown. The fourth contains pure bred dairy cattle, and the exhibit shows the ad vonfogo nf hroAfUng nijw brWI sires to native cows in building up a dairy industry. Practical equipment in the dairy field and the amount of feed needed to care for an average cow for a year are shown. On the next car ape pure bred hogs, a demonstra tion showing proper feeding methods and modern equipment. There is also an exhibit of sheep in which the value of breeding the native ewe to the purebred ram is demonstrated. The last two cars are Pullmans used by the people making the trip. A Guernsey bull, which was taken out of the car and permitted to lay down on the grass in front of the passenger station, attracted no little attention. He was from the herd of cattle at State College and weighed 1600 pound. This animal was as gentle as a cat, and permitted small children to handle him. People were constantly passing through the train ili large numbers from the time it reached Sanford at 2 o’clck till it left at 6 o’clock. Those who visited the cars manifested great interest, especially the 'farm_ ers and their wives, in hearing those who were in charge of the exhibits, explain everything In detail, ine thing that impressed one most was the fact that the things displayed were of a practical, nature and in reach of every farmer who had a de sire to adopt modern methods of farming. There was nothing costly about the display and not out of reach of farmers of limited means. A phonograph made music while the crowd milled around the cars. A big horn on top of the car enabled all to hear. The number that attracted most attention was a fox chase. A negro who evidently enjoya the sport, became so enthused at the music of the hounds as they closed in on old Iteynard, that he broke loose yelling as if he were following the chase. It was repeated several times for his benefit, f * - ' % Bom to Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Rogers, of Raleigh, at the Central Carolina -u«,"C»rfl| on Wednesday, August 6th, a daughter, Virgin!* t’i s liott.

RECORDER’S COURT Big Business of Court Was Get ting Jobs for Jail Boarders— 9 Cases Bound Over to R*" carder’s Court for Car Break ing, But Court Without Juris diction. Unusual, but no Vi olation of Prohibition Act. Fights, Yes.. Recorder’s Court started bright and early Tuesday morning, with the prisoners’ dock full, but Solicitor Hoyle soon discovered that neary all of his warrants properly belonged in the Superior Court, and a few minor cases were called and quickly tried. For a time it appeared that the coun ty would have to board 9 freight car thieves until the October Term of Superior Court, costing the county in the neighborhood of $600.00. How j ever, in hearing evidence for the I purpose of fixing bonds for the nine | prisoners, it developed that each of I them had ridden freight trains in and' out of .Sanford several times, probab ly in an endeavor to spot a freight car, and each pleaded guilty to sev eral charges in this respect, and they were quickly sentenced to the roads on these charges. Sup’t. of Roads, Mr. Gunter stated that he could place, the whole number in Harnett or Dur ham county until the October Term of Superior Court. This one act of the Recorder’s Court apparently has saved the county $660.4)0 at least in the board of 9 prisoners for several months. These prisoners, all colored men, were arrested by local officers and Seaboard Air Line detectives a few days ago after they had broken into a freight car and carried off considerable merchandise in a freight train on which they had been riding from Aberdeen Considerable of the stolen goods was recovered by the officers. This crime is denominated a felony at law and only the Superior Court has jurisdiction to try it. Arch McLean, Jim McLean and Crosby Caviness were arraigned charged with fighting. The two Mc Leans came clear and Caviness, the prosecuting witness, was taxed with the costs. A STILL AND 256 GALLONS OF ^SUGAR MASH^ DESTROYED destbyed a moonshine outfit in Green wood township, some four miles east of Cameron, on Monday afternoon of last week. About 250 gallons of sugar mash; several barrels and other containers, and a 60-gallon galvanized still were on location. Although the plant seem ed ready for operation no operators were on duty at the time /){ the raid. LIQUOR STILL AND YOUNG BOYCAPTURF.D Prohibition Agents J. Z. Harris and J. R, Moore and Deputy Sheriff Paul Watson and others made a raid over in the Little River section Sat urday morning and captured a still of 50 gallons capacity and 200 gallons of beer and a young white boy, Mar vin Gilmore, who was operating the still. Tfie owner of the outfit had set up his plant and evidently ex nAef aJ 6* — AM.UM,* »— 1—. Z — ~ jrovvlu vo cony uu iU9 uuiiiuros at that place indefinitely. In order to make sure of Having an ample supply pf water for making the stuff, he had a well sunk to depth of 20 feet near the still. This well was sunk with as much care as if it had been in his back yard. There were two men at the still, •but one made off before the officers could lay hands on him. The still and the prisoner were brought to the Court House and later in the day Gil more was given a preliminary hear ing before U. S. Commissioner John H. Kennedy in a room adjoining the office of Gavin, Teague & Byerly. It was felt that this boy was “used" by a blockader or some one who was dealing in liquor to aperate the still. The boy stated he was to get a gal lon of liquor for making the “run," but he emphatically declined to give the name of the owner of the outfit. In default of $1,000 bond he was committed to Lee county jail to await the September term of Greens boro Federal court. His bond would probably have been lighter had he been willing to tell who had him make the liquor. The man who influenced this boy to go to the woods and make liquor should have a long term in the Federal penitentiary. BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNION TO MEET AT ABERDEEN. . !

SPENT 581,388.07 IN LEE COUNTY IN 1929. Figures Show That Road is the Biggest Tax-Payer in the County — Total Expenditures Nearly Four Million in Five Counties — Crisis Facing the Railroads Due to Truck Com petition — Railroads Taxed to Support Schools and Other Worthy Causes While Trucks Pay Little or no Taxes. Mr, W. L. Stanley, an official of the Seaboard Air Line Kail way, who re cently visited Sanford, stated in a conversation with a representative of The Express “that the railroads are facing a crisis due to the unfair com petition of trucks.” He further stat ed “that the railroads are paying a heavy tax in every county through which they operate while the trucks haul freight over the improved high ways without paying but little or no taxes, except for gas.” Said Mr. Stanley, “the trucks are hauling the freight which pays a high rate while the railroads have to carry lumber, coal, fertilizer and other heavy freight which pays a comparatively low rate.” He felt that something ter as the railroads are a necessity and must continue to operate if the country is to continue to grow and expand. He stated that the Seaboard Air Line Railway is Lee county’s biggest tax payer and that the road paid last year $4,459.37 to the support of the schools of the county. He showed by figures that the Seaboard spent in 1929 nearly $4,000,000 in five coun ties in the State for wages, county taxes, school taxes, city and town1 taxes, State and franchise taxes and! for purchases of all kinds.

CULL EARLY MOLTERS WHEN EGG PRICES ARE LOW In a period of low prices for eggs the poultryman has particular need to cull low producing hens, because in such a period fewer hens will pay their way and also earn a profit than in a_.more prosperous time. Cull hens are frequently visitors to the feed hopper, and the poultryman who markets these loafers as they begin to molt, or who culls his flock closely and systematically, stands a better chance of making a profit from his flock. Many poultrymen make the mistake of curtailing expenses by stopping feeding in the summer, instead of sell ing off the non-producers and feed ing the hens kept. Accurate culling is only possible in a well fed flock, kept free from lice and mites through out the summer. When a bird stops laying in the summer she usually starts moulting. The time of molt is an indication of the ability to lay eggs, wens mat molt before September are usually low producers. Those that do not molt until late September or early Oc tober are usually high producers, liens that molt as late as October or November prcduce nearly 100 per cent more winter eggs for the entire year, than hens that molt in July. The poultry man who observes the melt as a guide to culling may turn a liability into an asset by marketing or getting the early molters as they show .signs of going off production.. These surplus hens may be marketed over a longer period and will usual ly bring more money if all the cull hens are sold late in the fall. POULTRY SALE COMES NEXT TUESDAY At This Sale Which Will Be Held at Palmer and Reeves’ Store, You Can Dispose of Young Roosters and Cull Hens. The August cooperative poultry sale will be held in Sanford on next Tuesday, August 19th. This sale has been closed with G. S. Mills & Co., of Greensboro, and they will have a truck and coops to receive the poultry at palmer and Reeves’ Stable on En dor street from 9 a. M., to 3 p. in. on that day. This sale has been arranged so that farmers can dispose of their young roosters and cull hens. It will pay to sell these two classes of poultry at low prices rather than keep them.The young roosters will soon grow out of the broiler class and hens that molt early will not lay again until late winter. Heavy hens will sell for 17c a pound, Leghorn hens 14c colored broilers 2 and one half pounds and up 20c, small and Leghorn broilers 18c, roosters 9c, and eggs 27c dozen. No pullets or laying hens or small broil ers should be sold at this time. THREE BIG WATERMELONS COMBINED WEIGHT 186 POUNDS G. H. Goins, who is farming on S. H. Butler’s farm, brought in a lot of fine tobacco, in the green state, last Monday and placed it in the show window of the Greensboro Bank and Trust Company. It is expected that when this tobacco is cured it will make a beautiful grade of the yellow leaf. There is much of this kind of tobacco in Lee county. W. H. Brant ley also placed a freak in the shape of a sweet potato in this show window. It is about the shape and size of a pigeon. On Tuesday morning Mr. E. B. Morgan, who lives in the section near the Jonesboro-A vent’s Ferry road, brought two watermelons, one weighing 57 and the other r ’ pounds. In the afternoon Mr. W. A Harkey, of Jonesboro, called at the bank and had a watermelon placed in the win dow which tipped the scales at 70 tion than we have ever see :em be fore. You would have 1 travel a long way to find three v nelons the combined weight of win is 186 pounds. We doubt if th .. n be found anywhere in this pan f the State. There is no soil in t..e world that will produce finer melons than ‘ the sandy soil around Jonesboro and Broadway. NEW] CANDY SHOP.
