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. We have al i ways thought that the Australian I ballot system caled for secret ballot, j It was not so conducted at the West | Sanford voting place. Many of the | tickets were spread out and placed on the toji of boxes before they were j cast. I The entire Democratic ticket was j elected in this county by good ma jorities. As the county board of elections will - meet some time today and canvass the returns, in order to I catch the mails we are cbmpelled to go to press without giving the official returns in* this issue.

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 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.
