It will probably take the official count in some States to determine whether or not the Democrats cap tired the House ar Senate in the election which was held. Tuesday Every indication points to one of '**j the closest divisions in years. House Majority. " As matters now stand the Demo crats were elected or leadingg in suf • ficient numbers to indicate a narrow Democratic House majority, and al most a tie in the Senate. In New York and Illinios, the Democratic strength assumed land slide proportions. It pushed Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt along by a 700,000 plurality to the re-elec tion so much desired by those who want to see him. named for the pres idency ,in 1932. _Returning James Hamilton Lewis ’ to the .Senate, it denied with thund s| ering emphasis the senatorial, aspira tion of Euth Hanna McCormick. j&. In Republican Connecticut, it ijMected a Democrat, Wilbur L. Cross, the governorship. In the Repub lican Pennsylvania it whittled Hp slipder proportions the lead of Gif ford Pinchot, the Republican nom irfeofoi' governor. In Republican idmliS it bestowed a Democratic gdv ^ ^°SS ”' ! chusetts, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oklahoma, it pushd Dem ocrats into the lead, on incomplete returns, for governorships now held by Republicans. On the same re turn, a Farmer-Laborite in Minne sota and an independent in Oregon were threatening the further tenure of Republican State executives. The Senate and House overturns, were almost as impressive, produc ing surprises even among those who had foreseen a Democratic return of the pendulum after the Republican sweep of 1928. West Virginia, Oklahoma and Col orado joined Illinois in anouncing early the election of Democratic Sen ators to succeed Republicans. A Democrat,- Marcus A. Coolidge, had the senatorial lead in Massachu setts. and the Democratic Senatorial nominees in Minnesota and South Da kota also went out in front during the night. The rock-ribbed Republican state of Kansas, Senator Henry J. Allen, after establishing an early lead, drop ped a few hundred votes behind his Democratic opponent. Heeding the advice of it3 Democratic organization, A La bam was snowing under Senator Heflin’s candidacy for re-election as an independent. Walsh, of Montana, Glass, of Vir ginia, Robinson, of Arkansas, Harri son, of Mississippi, and Norris, of Ne braska, were among t he Senators either elected or running ahead. In New Jersey, Dwight W. Morrow had it all his,own way from the start. In Illinois, James Hamilton Lewis, picturesque Democrat, has returned to the United senate. The former Senator and Democrat ic whip in the administration of President Woodrow Wilson received tho Illinois senatorial toga in a landslide of Democratic votes that swamped his two women opponents.— Congreswoihan Ruth Hanna McCor mick, Republican, and Mrs. Lottie Holman O’Neill, Independent. Re turns indicated he would receive the largest plurality ever given a .Senato rial candidate in Illinois. It may readi 500,000. Northampton, Mass., the home city of Calvin Coolidge, repudiated the Republican candidates for governor and senator despite tho former Pres ident's radio plea last week in be half of his party’s ticket. Marcus A. Colidge, Democrat, polled 4,048 votes to 8,109 for Wil liam M. Butler, Republican, in the senatorial contest, and the Democrat ic candidate for governor, Joseph B. Ely, won by almost as wide a margin , from Governor Frank G. Allen, 8,975 votes to 3,209t , Ohio Lenders Increase Lead. Ohio Democratic candidates for United States Senator and governor early continued to increase their im pressive leads over their Republican opponents." ’ ibert J. Bulkley, Democratic >Hal candidate, who opoaed Sen ator Roscoe C. McCulloch, Republi can, had increased his lead to ap proximately* 100,000 with three fourths of the state’s vote counted. George White, Democratic guber national candidate who opposed Gov ernor Myers Cooper, Republican, had forged ahead to a majority of almost 80,000 on returns from almost three fourths of the state.

In the Ninth 'And Tenth Congres sional districts, Democrats maintain ed their ihargins over the incumbent Republicans, who went into office on the Hoover landslide. Bulwinkle Leads. Major A. Lee Bulwinkle, of Gas tonia, held his advantage of around 8,000 over Representative Charles A. Jonas, of Lincoln ton, for the Ninth district seat, with 195 out of 248 pre cincts accounted for. The vote was: Bulwinkle, 36,974; Jonas, 28,528. Most of the missing boxes were in Yancey, Mitchell, Madison, Lincoln, Catawba and Avery counties. With far scantier reports available from the Tenth District, Zeb V. Weaver, former Congressman seek ing to stage a comeback for the post from which Prichard ousted him in 1928, with 25,175 votes against 15, 753 for Brownlow Jackson, his Re publican opponent. Representative Robert L. Doughton ! appeared to have a safe lead over E. F. Wakefield in the Eighth, 16,191 to 14,346, but only 89 precincts had been reported out of 162. In the Seventh Congressional Dis trict, Walter Lambeth, for the long term, and Hinton James, for the short term, 'carried the district by big ma jorities. In Lee county there was an exceed ! ingly light vote, not more than bu per cent of the qualified voters going [to tlio polls and casting their vote. ' Some of the votes were not properly | marked and in some instances were ! not counted. . Many women took no I interest whatever in the election and | did not go to the polls.

BUILDING AND LOAN “Under the safeguards provided by law and frequent and thorough audits by the State, as well as the active and cordial cooperation of officers and directors, there is no reason to ques tion the safety of investment in any Building and Loan (Association in North Carolina,” O. K. LaRoque, deputy insurance commissioner, in charge of the-Burlding and Loan Bu reau of the Sfcaro Insurance Depart ment, said in a radio talk recently. Referring to the four examiners, Mr LaRoque said they “are continual ly on the ro.ad engaged in making audits of these associations in order to determine whether or not all re quirements of law are closely fol lowed, and the trust funds properly safeguarded in the interest of all shareholders alike. When these au dits are completed, if. any exceptions or criticisms are found, tftey are im mediately brought to the attention of the directors, who are required tp have satisfactory corrections made within 30 days. “The people, through their legisla tors, have enacted laws adequate to protect the interest of all share holders. The duty of the commis sioner is to enforce these laws as written. This duty your commissin er expects ao perform in the interest ■of 110,000 shareholders in North Carolina, and without regard to the selfish interest of any individual or group of individuals. He acts in a supervisory capacity and in reality occupies the position of ex-officio di rector in each association under his supervision. Fortunately, your com nffesioner is receiving helpful cooper ation from the officers and directors in the performance of his duties. “A Building and Loan Association may loan only to share holders and then only in an amount not greater than the par value of stock sub scribed. In all cases the stock must be pledged as additional col lateral. All loans must be secured by first mortgage on real estate at a reasonable value, except that stock loans may be made up to 90 per cent of tho amount actually paid in on the | shares pledged. The directors are required to meet not less frequently than once a month, at which meetings loans may be authorized of approved. For pertain stated purposes, an as sociation may borrow money in an amount not to exceed 30 per edit of installment stock outstanding, provided same is authorized by a vote of at least two-thirds of the entire board of directors. "Associations, oeing mutual cor poration a all shareholders—^borrow ers and savers alike—occupy the same relative position as to debts, losses and profits. In addition to the safeguards fixed by law, the commissioner requires that all par ties handling funds of Building and Loan Associations shall be bonded in amounts from $10,000 to $50,000 each, depending on the size of the as s'c elation.0 FEDING PROGRAM TO PREVENT FALL MOLTING (By Prof. H. D. Munroe.) If body weight is maintained, fail [molting of early hatched pullets will | bo pre vented. Hearty consumption of feed, especially the gram or fat tening feed, will hold body weight. With the early, hatched pullet we must feed them so that they may lay eggs, grow feathers and increase in ! si/.Q and weight. As soon as the pullets start to lay they should.“be housed and changed from growing mash to laying mash. A liberal supply cf mash boxes should be provided. One foot feeding space for every five birds will give satisfactory results. Place the boxes bo that they will not be in the sha dows. eep a supply of laying mash before' the birds at all times. ft ■ ‘ • ‘ ITEMS Rev.

Four things are now helping San ford in a business .;way: The con struction of the Lee . County Hospital, the opening of the tourist season, the cotton and tobacco-markets. Quite a number of laborers are employed at the Hospital. Many of the tour ists who are passing through stop and spend some money with the ho tels, cafes, drug stores,; barber shops, filling stations and stores. While the price of cotton is still low money is gaining circulation-through the activity of the local market. The biggest thing for Sanford and the j thing that is circulating the most I money is the tobaecp market. Thous 1 ancis upon thousands of dollars is I gaining circulation throughout this I section as a result of the big daily j breaks on the local tobacco market, i Figures show that more than twice | the amount of tobacco has been put on the Sanford market this season | that was sold up to this date last sea I son. The market is helping business \ wonderfully. Saturday was about ! the best day the merchants of this i town have had this season. In some j of the stores the salesmen and sales ladies were hard pressed to handle the business. I Mr. E. T. Ussery, superintendent ' of the Atlantic and Western Railway, 'informs The Express that last winter and spring farmers living along his line of road between Sanford and Lil lington cut and sold $82,000 worth ! of crosties. The territory in which j these crosstics were cut embraces ter Iritory in lower i ce and upper Har j nett counties. These crossties were i bought and used by the Atlantic and | Western and the Norfolk-Southern Railways. Sons of the farmers who planned to cut and 6eH- orossties in j that section thus winter were inform I ed by the officials of these roads that 'they would not bey crossties this soa ! son as the heeds/of the roads had j made no appro]- iation for that pur [pose. The run mads are financially j hard pressed an have to make every | dollar count. 12,000 is a 'big sum j of money, an ! > as a great help to I the farmers in ■ ndt section. The ■Express is infoi 'ed that Palmer & 1 Reeves, merciur .s of this plase, will continue to hair <? crossties as other I roads will no d >t want to buy them. iThey are sc!..I • d-shipped from-this i place every w> ter season in large I lots, and the f mers, deiivflr% large rever.ud from NEWBOLD CARRIED ' TO STATE’S PRISON Carried to Raleigh the Evening He was Sentenced by Sheriff j Sam Womble and Deputy j Paul Watson — Mrs. New- j bold Returns to Elizabeth City, Her Former Home It was stated in the last issue of The Express that H. C. Newbold, who was tried in Lee Superior Court last >veek upon the charge of making false entries in the books of the Peo ples Bank while its cashier for the purpose of misappropriating the funds of the institution, was senten ced by Judge Devin to serve a term of five years in the State’s Prison at Raleigh. Judge Devin stated that he could have one day to make pre paration for going to Raleigh, but that he would have to bo accompani ed while at his home by the sheriff or some other officer. He made final arrangements and left for Raleigh late that afternoon accompanied by Sheriff Womble and Deputy Watson, Sheriff Womble turned him over to the superintendent of the State’s Prison and he was placed in the pris on along with other prisoners. Mr3. Newbold and children closed up the home and left the first of the week for Elizabeth City, the former home of Mrs. Newbold, wh^re they will live among relatives. This rings down the . curtain on the last chapter/ in a case that has been of absorbing interest to the people of Sanford and this community since it was known that Mr. Nev/bold de faulted and the bank closed its doors. No one in this community stood high er in the estimation of the people than Mr. Newbold, who enjoyed the confidence of everybody who came in contact with him in a business ot4 social way and the announcement. of his defalcation was. a great shock to everybody. His good wife carries with her to her former home the sincere sympathy of many friends in Sanford and this section. L. A. KIMBALL DIES SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME IN VASS. ly at his home there some time dur ing Monday night, November 8rd, and it is thought that his death resulted from heart disease from which he had suffered for a number of years. The body was discovered lying on the porch by a passerby at about 6:30 o’clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Kimball, who was a widow, was a merchant and he and his 16 year- old son, Delmas, had their liv ing quarters in the rear of the store j building. Mi\ Kimball was as well as usual Monday, and the boy retir 1 ed around 9 o’clock and slept through ! the night unaware that his father had \ not retired also. He ^yas awakened j by neighbors Tuesday morning to be i told of the passing of his father, who j had filled the place of both father i and mother to him since his mother’s j death when he was two years Old. i Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, and in terment was in St. Andrew’s church •cemetery, near Lemon Springs. Sur viving in addition to the son are the j following sisters and brothers: Mrs. | J. A. Wc-cd, of Moncure; Mrs. Ed. ‘Stone, of Sanford; Mrs. Sam Phipps, J of Elizabeth City; Mrs. M. G.

We cannot go to see all of our subscribers, and so we must depend upon many to come to see us or send the money through the mails. Most of those we have called on this fall have paid promptly and nearly all have had a good word for The Ex press. Very few have discontinued their subscriptions and new ones have been added to take the place of those we have lost. In fact we have put on more than we have lost this year.

Many subscribers have been regular readers of the paper for more than a quarter of a century and some for more than forty years or from the time the first issue was printed, more than 44 years ago.

GUNTER FELICITATES MR PALMER. Mi. H. A. Palmer, Sanford, N. C. , Dear Mr. Palmer: Please accept mj hearty congratulations on your elec tion to membership on the Board oi Trustees of the Lee County Hospital I am sure the citizens of the countj made a wise choice in selecting you This office will afford you an oppor tunity for unselfish service to the entire county, and I am sure you will fill the position to the sajjisfactior of all of our citizens. There will come before tne Doaru matters of importance. Among these will be the matter of the equipment in the two local hospitals. I am es pecially anxious that Dr. Monroe and Dr. Scott be given every considers tion. In closing their hospitals they are no doubt making great sacrifices, and the trustees should use as much of their equipment as they' can. My idea has been for Dr. Monroe and Dr. Sc eft to appoint a disinterested doc toi/arul the heard to appoint a disin terested doctor and let these two together with Dr. W. S. Rankin go ever these two plants and select all the equipment that can possibly bo us d to advantage. These doctors coul-1 ale® render valuable service in h.Jping to determine the price of the co'iipmar.t. In view of the fact that Dr. M.-.n’-oo and Dr. Scott will close their hospitals upon the completion of the Co era' y Hospital, I think the board should give them every con sideration. 1 am sure you will give this anc all other matters your careful con sideration and the advantage of yout usual good judgment. Sincerely yours, J. U. GUNTER. At an Average of More Than $15.00 Per Hundred — Sales Amounted to More Than $350,000,00 — Wet Weather Interferred With the Sales This Week — Good Tobacco Selling at Good Prices TTig Sanford tobacco market is still going- good and the average price for high grade leaf is attractive to the planters. Some of the planters have received large checks for to bacco that they brought in during the past few days, and say they ex expect to bring the remainder of their crop to this market. Some of the planters in the Sanford district have made a test of the local market. They have divided grades, carrying part to this market and part to some other markets, and have found in most cases that the Sanford Market brought them the highest price. One of the biggest sales of the season was field last Friday. The last farmers to bring in tobacco had to handle it from their cars and wagons in front of some of the warehouses as all the space was tak en up on the inside. Somg of the warehousemen need more sbace and it will probably be supplied by next season. The sales on the floors of the three warehouses Friday totalled 113,702 pounds. The average price was SI6.50. RED CROSS ROLL CALL. During the week 324,352 pounds were put on the local market. The »«araeFA-w»- $17.34. . Up to and In cluding Friday 2,121,118 pound* have be-n soM on the Sanford market since the opening date. These sales brought an average of $15.79. The receipts amounted to the grand total of $334,922.82. The sales have been so heavy wet Beginifcig with Tuesday morning. Armistice Day, people all over the U. S. will have an opportunity of again enrolling in the American Red Cross. Have your dollar so that the ladies who call on you, will only have to interview you once, thus accommo dating them greatly. Remember this is going to be a winter of much hard ship to a number of people, and we greatly need the sum realized from the fifty cents that stslys in our com munity. The other half of the dol lar goes to National Headquarters to answer in the affirmative: “Am I my Brother’s Keeper?” NO CHANGE MADE IN HUNTING DATES; OPEN NOV. 20th. There has been talk of changes hew ing made in the opening date for the regular hunting season this year, but John Wicker, County Gamo Warden, tells The Express that these changes have not been made. He states that the season for rabbit, quail and wild turkeys will open November 20th, the same dates as last year. | Rumors had been circulated that rabbit hunting would be permissible on November 1st, which several years ago was the opening date. However, game conservation officials reached the conclusion that it was best to open rabbit and quail shoot ing at the same time in order that the thousands who like to hunt on Thanksgiving might be accommodat ed, the opening date was placed on November 20th, a date that is earlier than that on which the Thanksgiv ing holiday ever falls. jrvaDDiLS may De nuntea vwtn aogs but without gun, or may be caught in boxes or gums before the open date for shooting. There is no bag limit on rabbits and they may be sold on the open market. Ten is the limit of quail that^ may be taken in a day and the sale of these is strictly pro hibited. Rabbit and bird shooting season will close February 15th. It is reported that the rabbit crop is short in Lee county this season. Wild ducks and geese may be shot from November 1 to January 31, the sc s e prescribed by Federal laws for wild waUrfolw. The bag limit on ducks Is. 21-5 and on geese it is 3.* Wild ancl ducks used to winter along the Cape Fear river, but for the past few years it seems that not so many gather along that stream. --,-5 THANKSGIVING,.SERVICE FOR .JUNIORS.
