y 1 1931. FIVE CENTS SANFORD 1930 RECORD IS GOOD DESPITE GENERAL DEPRESSION Eleven Building Permits Were Issued; Total < Building Amounted to $109,775— In dustrial Plants Ran On Fair ly Even Schedule. The depressing influence of a year ■which has been marker by some of the most notable economic conditions which have, afflicted the country in years has had a tendency tp obscure many of the real accomplishments of the year, though Sanford's record, notwithstanding, is a good one. While the effect of general conditions has of course had its reaction upon the Lee county section, local business and civic leaders are disposed to take the view that this section suf fered much less than others and that progress made along many lines de spite the trend of the time holds promise of an upward trend in econ omic conditions which is confidently expected in 1931. Factors In Progress. Several factors contributed toward lessening the effect of the depres sion in this section, notable among which, were: 1. The local building program on which an expenditure of $109,775.00 was proposed. 2. The resumption of -operation by the Edward’s Motor Car Company, which after a year’s inactivity, offer ed employment to a number of local people. 3. The even schedule maintained by local industries, including the lo cal cotton mill. 4. The peach, cotton, tobacco and other crops, all of which Were fairly good despite the pests and the ^drought. 5. The vigor with which the farmers of the section accepted Governor Gardner’s “Live-at-Hbme’r program; more feed, forage, poultry and hogs., perhaps, than ever before, were raised in the county. Building Program. Sanford's building program, dur ing the year 1930 embraced the fol lowing projects: Lee County Hospital Building, $90,000 Remodeling work (Mrs. L. P. Wilkins) .. .T- — 5,000 Dwelling ( Makepeace Millwork Company) . . 2,500 Garage (C. C. Bowers y . 2,500 Dwelling( J. H. McLean) . 1,500 Repairing Dwelling (Os-car Porter) ....„ . 700.00 Garage (H. L. Todd) . 200.00 Dwelling ( G. A. McLean) .... 150.00 Mill( D. J. Womble) ,. 150.00 Golf course House (H. L. God win) 75.00 Total . .-. $109,775 In other towns of the -county build ing programs for which figures are not at hand were conducted. Several buildings,- including Masonic ic building, which is now in process of erection, were let in Jonesboro matedially aiding in the employment situation. Motor Car Company Opens. Another factor not unworthwhile j in the community’s march toward progress was the resumption of op* erations by the Edwards Motor Car Company, which had been closed for practically a year. This concern gave employment to over thirty skilled workmen, the payroll from which greatly aided the local money situation. The weekly payroll of this company, states W. A. Crabtree, the president is around $650.00. The manufacture of Edwards Mo tor Car Company products has made Sanford a familiar word in many quarters of the globe, and especially in the Latin-America countries where the Company has been fortunate in finding ready buyers for tjieir cars. During the past year a number of shipments have been made by this Company to the Republic of Panama. A number of the local industries, including the Sanford Cotton Mills, famous over North Carolina and the South for their “Father George” sheeting,maintained fairly even sche dules. This concern, in business here since 1899, and giving employ ment to around 150 local people, ex -perienced but few hardships that were incident in general textile lines in 1930. - Agriculture Hupei ui. Contrary to the depressing con ditions experienced in the agricultural areas of the State, the situation lo cally- is very hopeful. Farmers, as a whple, are in much better shape than’ a year ago, although the prices obtained last fall for such staple commodities as cotton and tobacco were far less than a year prior. « Farmers of the Lee county sec tion entered heartily into coopera tion with County Farm Agent E. 0. McMahan in extensively using dust ing devices to combat the ravages of the boll weevil and in spite of the ap pearance of the annual pest held their per acreage production up to ' normal. Since the acreage devoted to cotton has been on the decrease in the county in the last few years, this crop has been steadily losing its 1 importance as a factor in local agri culture. The low prices of tobac co was largely offset by the tremen dous increase in tobacco acreage com ing about as a result of the abandon ment of cotton for tobacco and an influx of Surry and .Stokes county to bacco growers into the county. To bacco sales on the local market in creased over 100 per cent over 1929. While peaches are not an important crop in county, the few who were in terested in this industry made money last year for the first time in some years. Bordering the great peach orchards of the neighboring county of Moore, which enjoyed the best “peach year” since 1919, Sanford as the trading center of the section re alized largely from the success of the growers* Uovernor Q. Max Gardner's ‘Live at-Home” program was warmly re ceived by the farmers of the county and a greater effort toward produc ing commodities for home consump tion was evident than since the pre-war days. Largely as.a result of this activity local farmers have been able to create a small re serve of money and less fertilizer will be bought on credit this spring, stat>3 fertilizer salesmen, than or dinarily. The current issue of the University of North Carolina News Letter pub lishes a table, based on the 1930 cen sus, classifying all incorporated towns and cities of the .State with 500 inhabitants or more, 26 of which lost population during the last decade. Sanford is ranked in the tc'wns hav ing from 2,500 to 5,000 population, and ranks thirteen in this class. From the decade of 1920 to 1930 the per cent of increase in population was 42.9. According to the figures Sanford had a population of 4,253. This is a good per cent of increase in population and shows that the town has ~Letd/; «b^tantial growtn aurmg'Tne pasT TBIT years. 4,700,000 POUNDS OF LEAF SOLD IN SANFORD A total of 4,692,140 pounds of the Gtalden Weed had been sold on the local tobacco market up until today, it has been announc ed by officials of the market. Re ceipts totalling $711,698,64 were paid thri farmers for this tobac co. The season average is $15.17 per hundred pounds. Sales for the week, including Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day, were: 138,164 pounds, re ceipts for which amounted to $19,490.59 The average fior the sales this week stands at $14.11 per hundred pounds. There still remains a large amount of tobacco in the section and It Is expected that the mark et will remain open until around February 15th. GREAT INDOOR PICNIC!

August 21, 1907, he' was united in marriage tc Miss Ethel Jones, of Sanford. To this union, one child, John Charles Wat son, Jr., was borh. Mr. Watson is survived by his widow and son, also two sisters, Mrs. George Wool ard, of Wake Forest, ar I Mrs. hJ. Po litz, of Baltimore, Md., aim one broth er, Mr. H. A. Watson, of Princeton* this state. Mr. Watson made his home in Sanford about 82 years, coming to this place scon after the close of the Spanish-Ameriean war. May 26, 1898, he enlisted in the sec ond North Carolina Regiment, Co., A, and after serving for the duration of that war, was honorably mustered out of service November 16, , 1898. For more than 38 years he was con nected with the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, most of that time as a loco motive engineer.

HOST TO EMPLOYEES Plans For 1931 are Discussed at Banquet Given Employees of Company at Carolina Hotel; Business Done During Past Year Pronounced as Grafity ing. A review of last year’s business, declared as most gratifying, and a survey of the coming year, were some of the matters to which the manage merit and the employees of the Tri- j angle Motor Company gave consid eration during the course of a ban quet at the Carolina Hotel last Wed nei; lay evening in which the company acted as host to the employees. Discussing the affair, J. W. Kirk patrick, manager of the company, who acted as toastmaster, stated that the restilts of last year were a source of much pride to the entire organiza tion and that the future was being looked foi'ward to with much opti-1 mism. “We certainly feel good over the situation,” he said, “and we regard the coming year as' one most promis ing for not only our busines but business in general.” Covers were laid for the following: J. W. Kirkpatrick, manager; B. B. Kainmer, bookkeeper; J. T. Rosser, S. H. Rosser and J. B. McManus, salesmen; O. J. Robinette, parts de partment; D. W. McFayden, service manager; H. T. Horton, James Brklg- ( es, Roy McManus, C. E. Jackson and i Harold Gilmore, mechanics; and J. W. Glass, office. Short talks were made by a numb-c er of those who were present. PRIZES FOR BEST SHOW WIN DOWS AWARDED TO STROUD & HUBBARD AND WILLIAMS BELK COMPANY. During the Christmas holidays The Express contained an article of some length giving a description of the many beautiful show windows in the business district of Sanford. This was the first time that this paper carried an article of this length giv ing a description of window displays in Sanford. These displays jvould have done credit to a much larger town than Sanford. The Woman's Business and Professional Club was arttet^ic ar rangement of these window displays that they offered a prize for the most attractive display in the lot. A com mittee from the club visited the stores and other places of business for the purpose of inspecting the displays and awarding the prize. After tak ing everything connected with the displays into consideration they de cided that the prize should go to .Stroud 6i Hubbard Company. This progressive firm is to be congratu lated upon winning this prize, especi ally when it is remembered that they had some 30 or 40 competitors seek ing the honor. We doubt if there is a town in the State the size of Sanford that has more real window artists. This is not only true in the dry goods line, but some of the most attractive window displays in the town are to be seen in the grocery stores. The salesmen have studied the ait of arianging fruit, vegetables and otlier things to catch the eye of the shopping public. An attractive show 'window in a store is.- almost equal to a well displayed advertise ment in a newspaper as a drawing 1 card for the merchant. The United Bank & Trust Com pany alsc gave a prize for the best show window in the town. A com mittee from the Sanford Merchants Association inspected and after pass ing on the show windows awarded the prize to Williams-Belk Company, one of the leading dry goods concerns of the town. Why not make this an annual thing so as to develop the artistic taste among window decor ators in the town and at the -same ’ time help the merchants to sell their A GOOD FARMER. Ernest Thomas, Jonesboro, R. F. D., was awarded the prize offered by The Express for the finest hog raised in Lee county last year, j Mi. Thomas says he has been fanning for several years and during that time he has not bought a pound ■of meat or a bushel of corn. He raises all his own supplies an 1 be lieves in the “Live-at-Home” slogan. The Express has reported som< heavy hogs killed in Lee county this season. The heaviest one we havt heard of was reported to us since tht paper went to press last week. Thit big hog was killed by Mr. A. B. Har rington, one of Lee county’s mos successful farmers. It '.veighed G3( pounds. Unless some one comes for ward with a heavier hog by the tim< the seasoiv ends Mr. Harrington wil go on record as the champion hoj; raiser of the season in the county. H< not only raises big hogs, but grow: other things on a large scale.

The condition ,cf Lee County’s three hanks, as reflected in a statement from each to the North Carolina Corporation Com missi: n, is unusually sound. Ninety-ninth among the 100 coun ties in size, with a population of only 17,000, Lee’s banking resources might be calculated to excite the , envy of many of the State’s larger ’ counties—certainly, it is evident from the figures revealed in the report that the people of Lee, far from be ing bankrupt, are actually sitting on top of the world. itesources uver $14,uuu,wju. The total resources of the three banks, the Page Trust Company, the United Bank and Trust Company, and the Bank, of Broadway, ° as shown in the statements, amounts to slightly more than $14,000,000. The Page Trust Company and the United Bank and Trust Company, however, are chain institutions, and their re sources, which compose ninety-eight per cent of the foregoing figures, are embraced in a consolidated statement. This being true, that part of the re sources contributed by ‘ Lee county must be much smalled than is indi cated by the figures. To the patron of either of these institutions, how ever, it should be a sources of satis faction that the safety of his deposits is assured not only by an accumula tion of local resources but by re sources without the county. The fact that these two strong chain in stitutions arc represented by local units, is an evidence of th ■ faith and confidence which their • select ive directoratse entertain for Lee county and her people. Page Trust Company. Commenting upon the progress of the Page Trust Company, the Aber deen Pilot remarks: “The growth of the Page Trust Company during the past y* s re flected in^a comparative sLv- aaent issued during the week by i ank ing institution and appear! : the Pilot advertising columns V . To tal resources of this bank ha\ jump ed from $3,667,808 on December 81, a year ago to $5,277,709 on the same date of 1930, a gain of $1,609,811, a remarkable record at any time and an exceptional tribute to the manage ment during a period of financial stress in many parts ot the country. “Deposits reflect the annexation of several banks during the year, jumping from $3,270,960 a year ago to $4,696,077 at this time. The capital account has increased show ing the following figures: Capital stock, 1929, $250,000; 1930, $400, 000. Surplus, 1929, $100,000; 19. 0, $125,000. Undivide l profits, 1929, .$46,937; 1930, $56,631. The Page Trust Company now op erates banks in Aberdeen, Apex, Carthage, Hamlet, Liberty, Raleigh, Raeford, Ramseuf, Sanford, Siler City, Thomasville and Zebulon. 1 The Sanford brafich, of which W. P. Dyer, Jr., is cashier, was opened in i December, 1921, and, has, since that time, been a strong factor in the pro gress and the upbuilding ot Sanlord and Lee county. Mr. Dyer, who is charge of the lo cal branch, though young,is a banker of broad vision and with much expe rience. Prior to coming here, al most four years ago, he was cashier 1 of the Hamlet branch of the Page 1 Trust Company, and was for some years connected with the American , Trust Company at Charlotte. United Bank and Trust Company Setting forth upon a program of expansion less than a year ago, the , United Bank and Trust Company, with headquarters in Greensboro, se lected Sanford as a strategic, center from which to serve wrhat it thought one of the Safe’s most promising 1 and progressive sections. With E Frank Andrews a youngster whc had shown a remarkable grasp or monetary affairs while in the Greens boro bank, in charge, this reliable ok institution opened for business here last June. The bank launched inti the new field at”a very critical perioi in the financial history of the Stat( and Nation, and at a time when cur tailment and retrenchment seemed t< i be the governing policy in busiites: and finance. Notwithstanding thi' | condition, the local bank made won derful progress from the very begin ! nipg, with deposits mounting rap !idly. { This bank, as shown in their recen | statement, has resources amounting t I $8,491,958.65. The deposits of th institution total $6,713,6447.79. Bank of Bfioiadway. Though the Bank of Broadway, ai independent institution, located a Broadway,,, an enterprising town lo cated in the eastern part of the coun ty, does not produce figures so stag gering to the imagination as those of the banks just mentioned, this bank has been of immense benefit to the fine farming community tribu tary to‘ Broadway. Organized in a small way back in 1909, with A. W. Huntley as presi dent, the bank has steadily grown with the section which it has served so faithfully. This bank has a capi tali of $15,000 and resources amount ing to $284,298.44. D. E. Shaw has been with the institution as cashier since its organization. Officers of the bank are: Dr. Leon Watson, president, and D. E. ShsAir, cashier. JONESBORO DEFEATS SANFORD IN TWO BASKETBALL GAMES. The ancient rivalry in athletics ex isting between the Jonesboro and Sanford high schools was given an other test last Friday night when Jonesboro's two teams—the boys' and the girls’—easily triumphed over the two teams representing Sanford. In the contest between the boys, the t*.vo teams were more evenly matched and it was anybody’s game right up until the final gong was sounded. Jonesboro won 18 to 16. Gibson fea tured foi^ the winners,. The Jonesboro girls exhibited su periority over the Sanford girls - and won by a decisive score—36 to 26.
