' EH 27, 1930 FIVE CENTS Buy Now and Save Prosperity 55c a Day Would Wipe Out Un employment in North Carolina ana Place in Circulation $57, 000,000 Annually—Every lioi lar in Circulation Maintains $200 Worth of Industrial or Business Activity—rank Re sources of North Carolina Ex ceed $615,000,000—Save Pros perity Instead of Dollars— Spend Before You get Hurt.’ The State-Wide “BUY NOW" Campaign launched by the North Carolina Merchants Association and the Sanford Merchants Association is iw*ti|£jwShVjaf^jjtgiPre ofW seas and Is gaining momentum. Th# campaign has. already demonstrated that business iaon-tfae up-grade and that prosperity is not dead in North Carolina (as some pessimists, would have had us think) but that It has simply been lulled to sleep by. the constant crooning and moanful speech of a large number of people •who are given to taking a gloomy view of al fairs. - Reports from alt sections of the State indicate that prosperity is awakening; that it is recovering from its, bad- dreams of depression, panic and fear; that the masses are recover ing their lethargy and are beginning tioii for: the fears, they entertained to realise that there Was no founds and that the depression was more psychological than material. North Carolina still has its rich and fertile fields; its marvelous nat ural resources;Its great industrial de velopment; its tremendous capital re serve; its immense bank deposits; its high standard of living; its culture and refinement; its captains of indus try; its skilled workmen; and over three million ^people who never have nor never will know defeat magnified in North Carolina and as the, president of one of ou r higher educational institutions remarked the. Other day “If these are hard .times, they are the most prosperous hard times the State has ever seen.” The National and State Employ ment commissioner told reports that-.he estimated the unemployed is North Carolina at not more than 1 and 1-2 per cent of the population; and that of that number fully 25 per dent of them were residents of some other State or community from that ip which they were seeking em ployment. Reports of National and State banks, as of June 30, 1930, show that there is deposited in the banks of North Carolina more than $321,400. 000, and that total bank resources in North Carolina, including assets of industrial banks and trust ^mpanies, are in exeess of $6iu,00w,0y5. > *“Er“ is- certainly nothing iii these reports to' indicate hard times and the Snly thing necessary to restore " normal conditions in this State is for the peo ple as a whole to resume normal buy ing so that merchants can move their goods, place orders with the factories for more merchandise; enable the factories to employ more men and give to these ifleft id wages the means to buy what you yourself sell or produce. Business has seemed bad because you and I have curtailed onr normal expenditures. We heard so much about the hard times we became skep tical and then afriad, sM fflg fear produced hard times. We know that a resumption of reasonable spending ^by buying those things we would buy but for all the tldS about hard times—so instead of retarding bus iness by refusing to buy and hoard ing money, let’s buy what we need and start the wheels of industry turn ing! JjtilB BttVC Jjiwoyruv/ ***we~*-—■ dollars. They way to save prosperity is to keep money in circulation. The pres ent depression is with us because money lias been taken out of circula tion by a refusal -upon the part of the public to buy things they customarily buy. Money is just as important to the life of business as blood is to the life^ of the human body. It isn’t so much the volume of money placed into circulation as it is the rapidity with which money changes hands by buying and the pay ment of accounts that creates pros perous times. Do you know that ii every person living in North Caro lina, spent an extra nickel, it Would place in circulation $168,513.80 a day or $67,8765,637.00 a year? This fig tfre would be multiplied 'many times because the'little 5c would change hands very frequently. A nickel a day would absolutely wipe out the un employment problem in North Caro lina, for it would release enough cap * ital to employ thirty thousand of th; unemployed at a wage\of over $5.2E per day. The difference betweer MM times and prosperity in North Carolina, therefore, is only a matter of 35c a week per capita. During the war we were asked to “Give till it hurts.” That 'was good advice and we followed it for it was a patriotic duty. Today we can be just as' patriotic and accept equally good advice, which is “spend before yoy get hurt.” If people who have the money do not buy, business inevit ably stagnates and Unemployment be comes rampart, for inactive dollars keep goods on dealers shelves, and factories on a part time scale, thus forcing thousands of potential buyers j>v$ of employment.

IAIL DELIVERY FRIDAY NIGHT rwo Negro Prisoners Crawl to Freedohi Through an Opening Made in a Window by Bending a Steel Bar Which Had Been Partially Sawed. Lee couny had a jail delivery early ast Friday night, but this is nothing inusual as there has been an aver age of one about every two years since the jail was built more than 20 /ears ago. The two prisoners who sscaped are negroes, Justice Madison, ilias A. T. Owen, charged with break ing in. a store, and O. H. George,, iharged with the larceny of a car. fhey both have the reputation of be ing hod characters. It. was not known till next morning that they had escaped. There were three white men in cells for 'white prisoners, but they did not succeed in escaping. Upon investigation it was found that t{ie_twg negroes es caped by bending an upright steel'birr on -the VjBdow which had been pare tially sawed by prisoners before these negroes were put in jail. They used a piece of iron pulled off a bed to bendthe, bar and make a hole large enough to crawl through. They went &i}#p on their blankets which were tied together. It was learned that they left the jail about 9 o'clock and made their way to the home of a ne gro where they got dothes. They were in their underclothes. After being at large a day or so Justice Madison came back, gave him self up and was again placed in jail. Jailor Brooks offered a reward of $5 for the arrest; and return'of the ne groes to jail. His daughter, Miss Pansy Brooks, turned the negro in jail and got the reward. Madison stated that the reason he came back and surrendered was because his mother had heard that if found by the officers they would shoot him. He decided that he had rather be a live negro in jail than a dead one on the outside. He being a small man had little trouble in crawling through the Mle, but. George beinfc«mwch, larg was hung hard aitd fast and it looked as if he ^ould have to go for help tc extricate him. He finally succeedec ift crJMing through the hole, but i\ was after a painful wound was made in his side by coming in contact with some sharp instrument about the win dow. It was thought that they were supplied with" a hack saw till Madi son returned and told the story ol their escape, stating that they bent the bar which had been sawed by 2 fonper prisoner. An officer stated to The Express the other day that with a hack saw prisoners experienced little trouble in getting out of Lee county jail Changes and repairs have been mad< from time to time, to the jail, but it seems that prisoners continue to sav their 'way out and escape almost a' will. When the jail was built som< one who was connected with its con struction pronounced it perfectly sal* and said it would be 'impossible foi a prisoner to escape if he had at his command all the tools that can b( found in the plant of the Moffit Iron Works Company. This com pany later made repairs to the jail One is tempted to believe that a pris oner could almost escape with a per knife. It appears that Lee county had 2 sorry job put on her when the coun house and jail were built. It woul< be interesting to know the amount o] money that has been spent on the twc institutions since they were built, per haps almos enough to buill a nev court house and jail. —-BUY NOW runAV/UUouivL run I CITY TAXESS IMPEND^ J Those who desire to prevent fore closure action against property oi which 1928 city of Sanford taxes an yet unpaid will have soon to get bus] or they stand a good chance to los< their property.

This is con sidered containing - some very good tobacco land and having been idle for two or three years is in a fine state of fertility for tobacco next year, also grain crops!
