Buy Now and
You Save Money
Sanford Merchants Association
Sponsors Movement to Stim
ulate Business —Boost Em
ployment and Restore Normal
Conditions.
The Buy Now Campaign, which was
launched the first of this week by the
(Sanford merchants Association for
the purpose of stimulating business
in this section, relieving unemploy
ment, and restoring normal con
ditions, is based upon statements of
the President of the United States,
government agencies, Reports of the
Federal Reserve System and Bankers,
that there is plenty of money
but that much of this money, which
should be iu circulation, is being
hoarded through fear.
Plans for the campaign call for
the employment of every available
agency as a medium of publicity in
keeping the “BUY NOW” message
emblazoned across the path of every
potential spender in this section.
These points of contact include
newspapers, radio broadcasts, moving
picture slides, window display cards,
package enclosures, poster stamps,
buttons, display advertising, and
public addresses.
The campaign, launcnea simulta
neously in every section of the State
end due tu its unselfish and altruistic
nature it is expected to gain in mo
mentum with the cooperation of
chambers of comerce, civic clubs,
business and other bodies, as well as
individuals who are anxious to bring
about a return to ftormal conditions.
Lowest Prices Since 19X3. j
The public, however, will derive a
direct personal benefit from the cam-1
paign, for they will actually , save j
money by buying now rather than
waiting until prices advance, which
they are sure to do just as soon as
consumption overtakes production,
according 4o Btatisticlafts.sar- ■
eaten up. Price levels of the com
modities are lower today than they
have been in years, and retail merch- i
ants are promptly relaying price re
ductions to consumers.
It is a well recognized fact that
wise spending is an investment, and
with retail prices having dropped to
a level at which the dollar has a pur
chasing pdwer greater than it has
had since 1913 the money spent now
will pay dividends.
Now is the time for the thrifty to
buy, for not only do the present low
priees fall right in line with their
ideas of economy, but by buying now
their spending will serve the twofold
purpose of attaining those things
•they would like to have at a saving to
themselves, and help to create a de
mand for workers by creating a de
mand for what the workers produce.
Buy Now—Restore Business and
Create Employment.
The “Buy-It-Now” campaign does
■not, by any means, endorse extra
vagance or silly expenditure of mon
ey. It simply aims at those people
who have the money and who need
articles. Prices are lower than they
have been in a number of years, and
real economy can be effected by pur
chasing goods now instead of wait
ing until later, it was stated.
Winddw cards and other advertis
ing matter has been prepared and
Will be on display at various stores.
It is a well known economic fact
that production rests upon consump
tion. By this campaign, it is hoped
that enough people will buy articles
really needed that the demand will
increase, and through this demand,
•factories will respond, thus giving
employment to workers, who will, in
turn, spend their wages for things
needed, and the cycle will be com
plete.
Mr. D. B. Teague made an inter
esting and instructive talk between
acts at the Temple Theatre last Tu
esday night on the above .subject. He
stressed the importance of “buying
now” so as to keep the money in cir
culation and relieve the financial
stringency. He told of having to
use scrip during the money panic of
1907. He stated that there were 30
millions of dollars in the banks in
this .muntry and that one reason 'why
business, is slack is that the money
is being hoarded and kept out of cir
culation. He stated that if the 17,
000 people in Lee county would spend
$5.00 each it would at. once put ips
circulation $*5,000. Each citizen can
help or hinder in the restoration • of
prosperity in the country.
Mr. A. A. F. Seawifrl will speak'at
the Tempie Theatre to-r.ight on this
subject, an will Solicitor G. I,. Wil
liams oft Saturday night and Judge
T. J. McPherson on Monday night,
e Other speakers will follow later in
the week.'
HOW LEROY DALRYMPLE WAS
RELIEVED OF SUFFERINC
The following peculiar story 'whirl
was published in some of the dailj
papers Last Sunday, comes froir
Jonesboro.
“A. A. Dalrymple, a widely knowr
Lee county farmer, tells a rathei
peculiar story.
“About two weeks ago his son
LeRoy Ralrymple, lost an arm wher
it was caught in a shredding machine
The fingers were severed from the
hand. A neighbor gathered up the
fingers and other parts of the sev
ered member after the accident. He
carelessly threw them in a box, dug
a hole in the ground and buried them
“At the hospital LeRoy imagined
that his missing arm and hand were
hurting him terribly. He said that
he felt that if he could only close his
fingers that the agonizing pains would
“Here comes the strange part of
the story. Mr, Dalrymple dug up the
box containing his son’s arm and
hand. Carefully he arranged the
fingers in their correct place on the
hand and then he again buried the
box. After this was done it is said
that the pain in T ,eRoy’s hand dis
appeared as if by magic. Never
again did he complain of any pain
whatever. A look of satisfaction and
peace spread overrfhis countenance at
the very instant his father joined his
fingers to his hand. This part Was
verified by the authorities in attend
ance at his bedside.”
A few years ago Mr. C. H. Smith
of Sanford, lost a hand in a corn
shredder in a smiliar manner. He
tells The Express that he lost hand
continues to hurt him and at times
he suffers intense paiii in his arm.
It seems that corn shredders are a
and hand would be carried into the
gin and cut to pieces by the saws.
There is no danger in the modern gin
as the cotton is automatically car
ried into the gin by machinery.
MRS. I. D. BRIDGES DIES AT
DUKE HOSPITAL* DURHAM

East Sanford Baptist church Monday
afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by

ber of neighbors and friends turned

LIBRARY NOTES.
Children’s Book Week, Novem
ber 16-22, 1930.
Sommer fading, wintertimes—
jf rosty mornings, tmgiing\tnumbs,
Wmuow robins, winter ruu&s,
! And the picture-story books.
We may see how all things are—
Seas and cities, near ana far,
And the flying fairies’ looks,
in the picture story-books.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
• Book Week observed every year
since 1919, has become an American
institution, in the libraries, in the
schools, in the homes, and in the book
stores. During the last ten, years
the production and sale of chilaren’s
books has more than doubled. The
activities of Book Week are directed
to the development of the habit of
reading among children, that they
may learn the pleasure of the discov
ery of a good book, and have the ex
perience of building personal libra
ries.
The middle of the eighteenth cer -
tury marks the first milestone'in the
history of books made for the joy of
children. At that time John New
berry, began to combine the writing
and publishing of books for children
with his business of selling patent
medicines in his shop in St. Paul’s
Churchyard. Oliver Goldsmith is the
most famous writer of Newberry
books. The *tebullent bookseller's”
two most popular books were “Goody
Two Shoes,” and “Mother Goose’s
Melody, about 1760. In honor of
the first publisher of children’s
books, the Newberry medal was in
stituted in 1922, to be given each
year to the finest book for children
by an American author.
The ideal children’s book appeals
I to the young person of all ages. ,Sir
I Walter Scott once said, ‘I wil make,
if possible, a book that a child shall
understand, yet a man will feel some
temptation to peruse should he
chance to take it up.”
Bring your boys and girls t-o the
Sanford Library and see with them
the attractive new books which are
I being made for the children of today,
i Renew your childhood with the fresh
i acquaintance of classics old and new.

: SANFORD TOBACCO MARKET
j STILL GOING GOOD
is still
grades
of tobacco holding up well. Friday
saw one of the biggest sales put on
here this season. The sales were not
| finished till late in the afternoon. The
sales that day totaled 114,492 pounds,
which sold for $19,728.14, an average
of $17.23.
This brought the total number of
! pounds sold during the week to 363,
690, which sold for $60,154.79. an
average of $17. Much low grade to
bacco 'was on the floors this week,
which, of course, lowered the average.
In the opinion of the warehousemen
| and tobacconists, good tobacco is sell
I ing higher now than any time during
the present season. Since the mark
et opened: on September 23rd, 2,474.
898 pounds have been sold for the
sum of $392,377.61, an average of
$15.85.
The market Tuesday sold 108,514
pounds for the sum pf $20,167.47, an
average of $18.58. The sales for the
season run well up over two and a
half million pounds. With favorable
weather it is expected that the sales
vail be heavy for the next five or six
weeks. The farmers are about
through gathering their cotton crop
and will soon be done putting in
their small grain. This will give
them an opportunity to grade and
bring their tobacco to the market.
Mr. Marvey Kennedy, Sanford’s ef
ficient city clerk, has a beautiful
collection cf fish and other things that
inhabit the great deep in a small
acquarium in the front" ofMiis office

A number of teachers of the San

ools in the county went to Raleigh
and on Friday and Saturday attend
ed the annual meeting of the North
Central District of the North Caro
lina Education Association.’ As there
are too many teachers inthe State
to attend one meeting and handle the
business with efficiency, the State
has been divided into several districts
and the meetings are held at a num
ber of places in the State.
The Association went on record as
pledged to support .State Superinten

TWO FIRE ALARMS.
Tuesday afternoon about 1 o’cIock
two fire alarms sounded in Sanfoid
only a few minutes apart. The fir.st j
alarm carried the fire department to
the home of Dr. Lynn Mcivcr on the
corner of Steele street and Summit
Avenue. A lot of leaves and grass
caught in the yard and threatened to
reach Dr. Mover’s dwelling. The
flames were extinguished without any ^
damage. Before the truck that vent ,

RECORDER’S COURT
Only One Jail Boarder for Court
—He was Given a Hearing
Charged with Stealing Vari
ous Sundry Articles and As
He Appealed to the Higher
Court Was Sent Back to Jail
in Default of Bond
Recorder's Court functioned Tues
day notwithstanding the memorable
event of twelve years ago for which
the day has been set apart as a Holli
day. A number of the members of
the Bar took advantage of the day
and followed the chase, and con
sequently several cases were contin
ued. Announcement was made at the
opening of Court that continuances
would be granted any one making re
quest, and that only jail cases, Kvould
be tried.
Jailer Brooks had but one boarder
for the Court, in the person of Owen
Powers alias O. H. George, charged
with the larceny of various- and
sundry articles of value, principally
automobiles. He was tried on a min
or charge and sentenced to Harnett
county for six months, in order to
get him out of jail and before the
Superior Court in March. However,
he proved to be foxy and appealed the
road sentence, and that automatical
ly placed him back m jail, in default
of bend. It. developed during his
trial that he is wanted in Orange and
Robensonc ounties on similar charges,
and he was ordered turned over to
the proper authorities of either of
these counties.
V/ H Hall was in court charge,I
with drunkeness and possession of
whiskey. Hall did not resist the
charge and was fined $10 and the
costs.
Prayer for judgment in the ase of

Carolinas District Holds Its An
nual Convention in Raleigh
and Elects a Governor and
Other Officers for the Year
The Kiwanis Club held its regular
weekly meeting last week at The
Carolina hotel Friday evening at
b:30. Miss Louise Fdtrell was back
after an absence of two meetings to
lead the music and the Club as usual
had a lively musical program. The
name oi D. B. Teague was drawn un
der the “Who’s Who” feature cf the
meetings and gave a sketch of his
life. Each week the name of a mem
ber of the Club is drawn and he is
expected to give a sketch of his life
as a means of aiding the members in
getting better acquainted. This fea
ture is particularly interesting be
cause of the youth of the town. Most
of the members as well as the mat
ure residents of the tovrii were born
elsewhere and it is always interest
ing to learn where they were bom
and educated and their various ex
periences and why they came to San
ford.
There was no set program but an
informal discussion of Club activi
ties. It was suggested that there is
and will be unusual need in the
county this winter and, upon motion
of Fisher Makepeace, it was decided
to have frequent light lunches during
the winter with the members paying
the regular price and the surplus to
be used in outside aid. It was also
decided to use the fund that the Club
has accumulated during the past sev
eral months and a committee compos
ed of D. B. Teague, John Davenport,
Jr., and T. T. Hayes was appointed
to look into the best way to spend
the fund and proceed in doing so at
once.

speech was made during the hold
ing of the convention by Raymond M.
Crossman, president of Kiwanis, In
ternational. A feature of the con
vention was the speech by Roe Fulk
erson, editor of the national maga
zine. He captivated all who heard
him by his rich wit and humor.
- Divisional lieutenant governors

ROADS IMPROPERLY WORKED.
The State and counties build good
roads that are soon worn out, not by
travel, but by being improperly
worked for the lack of knowledge or
the proper tools to work with. Go
with me( please through Jonesboro,
the Lemon Surings roads and to No.
53 to Olivia and you will find the
roads like wash boards. Well, may
be we have so much money that we
do not know what to do l.vith it, but
to build roads and then scratch them
down, so go to it.
