It is becoming clearer that the shock to the world’s financial nervous system and the disturbance of its interna tional trade metabolism due to the abandonment of the gold standard by a large part of it 'will require emergency treatment «!(j a prolonged period of convalescent. So far the American securities markets have withstood the shock with surprising strength, assisted by a drastic liga ture of limitations on short-selling, but how far they will be able to stand the steady pressure of world-wide cre dit liquidation and the accompany ing gold hemorrhage remains to be seen.

WORLD’S SERIES INTERESTS FANS Seme one remarked yesterday: “You can’t get men to talk1 business near a radio while a world series baseball game is being played.” Many men who never: think of a game at any other season of the year turn to be enthusiastic fans when a national series opens.

BURNS ERECTS NEW COTTAGES Enterprising Oil Man Building Number of j3tucc»ed Cot tages At 3 Points. Mr. Bobby Burns is just complet ing a new unit of tile stuccoed cot tages at his Three Points , Service Station just south of Sanford to ac commodate tourists. They are of mo dern construction and are equipped with the latest improvements in the way of hot and cold water, lavora tories, private garages, connected with private sewer. The demand for this class of accommodation, Mr. _ Bums states, has been rapidly in creasing and a much higher class of people is now, patronizing this class of tourist cottages. For this reason Iv. Bums has gone ahead with another forward step towards keep ing his place equal to any of its kind along U. ,S. No. 1. It is his idea to always be able to furnish the very best of service and accommodation to those who may stop at his place. It is doubtful if there is another place . along the entire length of this great trunk line highway that surpasses his in accommodation of all kinds to the weary traveler. Mi. Burns ,stated that these new cottages would be completed and ;eady for use by the last of this week. He would like for the people of Sanford to visit his place any time this week and inspect the new build ings now being finished so that they may know just what modem con veniences are being provided by this enterprising and progressive service station. An employee at this place 1 nil take great pleasure and delight in showing this added convenience to any who may wish to see what is be ing done for the convenience and comfort of the traveling public. ; It is Mr. Burns’ idea to make this place very home-like for people who may wish to stop over with him while traveling 'through the State. In the open court between thp cottages he ntends to put tables, swings, slides agd other play-ground equipments l'or the children that stop there and Will offer this^eqnvenience to the peo imt . , '.«!1 as tourists. A play-ground of this kind is badly leedrd and no doubt will receive a good patronage from the people and it is very generous of Mr. Bums to develop a place like this and offer it fc. the public i PAGE TRUST 00. MOVED INTO NEW QUARTERS TODAY Ranking- Institution Takes Up Abode In Former Wilkins Skks Building;. REFLECTS GREAT CREDIT The Page Trust Co. this morn ing moved into their magnifi cently appointed new quarters on Steele Street. During the morn ing hundreds of patrons and well-wishers of the banking in stitution called at the new Quar ters to offer felicitations to of ficials in charge. The new ouarters of the bank are m the building formerly occupied by Wilkins-Ricks Co., the interior and front of which has been completely remodelled to conform with the. lat est mode of banking design. The re moval to new quarters marks a for word step in the histopr of this able and constructive banking institution which, since locating here ten years, ago, has been a powerful factor in tM community’s progress. V. C. BrJ.m, local contractor, su-, pervised the remodelling of the build- j ing, achieving a result that has been widely commended by those who have viewed the building since its altera tion. The banking fixtures, which have a walnut finish, are luxurious in appearance, striking in design, yet modest in cost. The fixtures were; purchased from the Morrison Mfg. Co., of Statesville. The floor, which is of composition moultile, is of three; colors—black, chocolate ar.d red. The walls are of buff color, completely harmonizing with the color of the fixtures sqid the floors, presenting a most pleasing appearance to the eye. The millwork of the new building is the creation of the Sanford Sash & Blind Co., and the quaint doors and concern combine to' give a most at tractive appearance to the front ana windows furnished by this Sanford entrance. The base brick used_ were purchased from the Borden Brick & Tile Co., the metal ceiling from King Auto Radiator Co., and the plumbing work has been efficiently done by W. H. Gurley. I The interior of the bank presents a perfect'blend^of color; it has been « /nature in which not only the bank ing officials but every citizen of the town takes pride. That this bank should at this time have taken such a step is an example of the confidence and the assurance with which tjie Page Trust Co. regards the stability and the continued growth of Sanford and community. At the right of the entrance is the private office of the cashier, W. P. | Dvor. At'the outside of the private office will be founcl Mr. Dyer’s desk where he is at all times accessible to the public. Everything has been ar 1 ranged so as to give. patrons of the bank efficient service and with the utmost dispatch. At the rear of the bank and to the left is the headquar ters of the Page Trust Co., Insurance Department, over which F. H. Umer has supervision. Here. also, will be found S. Vance Scott, the local mana ger, and D. H. Bell, the auditor. The personnel of the 3 bank is as follows: W. P. Dyer, cashier; Gentry Womack, assistant cashier; Miss Orene Krahnke, stenographer, and Miss Judith Ross, R. B. Groce and Sam Watson, bookkeepers. Miss Floy Rivers is stenographer of the insur ance department. The departure of P->ge Trust Co. from its venerable offices on Moore Street marks for the first time in his tory the absence of a bank on that street. Up until five years ago, when the Banking Ldan & Trust. Co. made its retirement from business, there were tkvo. New,, the financial center of tne town has been transferred to Steele street ahd obvious advance of that street as a sector of importance in the life of Sanford. TOBACCO GRADING SERVICE WANTED Desire for Federal tobacco grading service, and concrete steps leading toward an addition of'this service to the local tobacco market, was a de velopment of the Saturday’s meeting of £y\ farmers which convened at t^ie Town Hall. While the meeting ‘>vas held pri marily for the purpose of sounding out sentiment relative to a special sessidn cf thr legislature being called by Governor Ga fner that North Carolina might*' register her moral support of the proposed decrease in cotton acreage, there were a number of farmers present to yvhom tobacco prices are just as important, if not really more important, than the price of cotton. Some of these were out spoken in their condemnation of the present system of selling tobacco. While it was tl\? system that was under fire, nothing derogatory to any certain tobacco market was expressed, The belief was prevalent that the ad dition of the Federal tobacco grading service, nCw in vogue on the Smith field and a number of eastern Caro lina tobacco markets, might make for 'more uniform prices on grades of to bacco. . A resolution was unanimously pass ed asking the local Merchants As " sedation to appoint a Committee to take up negotiations with .the local tobacco board of trade relative to procuring a Federal grader. It is understood that A. K. Miller, secre tary of the Association, is making ar i rangements with the tobacco boaxd of trad« to hold ruch a meeting this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

In past crisises the South, having a monopoly of the production, held the key to solution of production and low prices but new, with its dominance at end, she has be-ome powerless to regulate prices by her own efforts alone. The regulation of cotton production, the speaker said, has become an interna tional problem and one which, if solved, must b treated from an in ternational standpoint. The farmer, he said, may solve his individual prob lem by giving more attention to soil fertility, by diversification, by plant ing wheat and smaller grains and by curbing the pn- luction of cotton. “Whether legislation 'will solve this problem, I cannot say, but of one thing I am certain, it cannot do any harm,” ad led Mr. McMahan.
