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 * - ' %

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.

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. Following

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.
