ROTARIANS HOLD
WEEKLY MEETING
Members of Club Attend Inter
city Meet At Chapel Hill
On October 1.
Ml Pitts, chaignen of toe vocation
al service committee, mwe « happy
choice when He selected t>r. w T.
Adams to talk to to® ROtaVirfrirf at
their luncheon Tuesday. The Rotary
creed Was the subject of Dr. Adams’
remarks. It Ws a most entertaining
and inspiring talk. D*. Adams was
given to understand by President
Strong that he would always have a
hearty welcome when he chose to at
tend any meeting cf toe club.
Rotarian J. R. Ingram, a former
president of the club, who has been
at Hot Springs for the past few
weeks, thanked members «f the club
for letters and other evidences of in
terest which he received from them
while out there. He comes back home
improved in health.
The club met at the Prsebyterian
church this week and the Rotarians
are under obligations to the ladies
for the excellent luncheon served.
President Strong, closed the meet
ing by reading an article from a pub
lication called “Business Week.” The
article reads as follows:
“The last quarter opens without
signifieent sign of autumn accelera
tion of promosing prospect of early
improvement in th? business picture
in any other essential respect. 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. Fortunately the Federal Re
serve is freely offering its blood
transfusions of reseAre credit to main
tain easy money conditions in this
market in face of emergency foreign
and domestic demands. Meanwhile"
current indicators give ho evidence
that business is going to break*throu<rh
the rock bottom resistance level which
bare replacement demands have estab
lished since last December, in spite
of the pressure of accumulating credit
difficulties and . disappointing per
formance in security and commodity
markets. Our index s<:ill holds over
the 70 per cent line, despite persist
ent weakness jn most • components,
11 supersede
projects. But the days pass swiftly.”
A number of Hanford Rotarians
went up to ChaDel Hill October 1. to
attend a" int"r-city meeting of the
Chapel Hill, Durham Raleic-h. Hen
dersoh and Sanford clubs. One huh
dred and sixtv-nine were present at
this meeting. Parson Gilmore made an
inspiring address on community ser
vice. President Frank Graham of the
University also made a talk which
was very much enjoyed by, all pre
sent.

SANFORD SELLS
MUCH TOBACCO
Sales to Date Total Over Three
Quarters of A Million
Pounds.
As the curtain dropped on Wed
nesday’s sales nearly three Quarters
of a million pounds of ^golden weed
had been sold on the locaflfciarket dur
ing the present season. Approximate
ly 731,002 pounds of weed has been

Wednesday’s sales were lighter,
only 38.802 pounds being V sold" for
$3,297.42—an average of $8.49 per
hundred pounds.
Tobaccohists said the fall in the

in the duality of the offerings. It
so said that, or rather the^opin
would piSPWnsider a b 1 y as the
better grades were brought to market.
A number of good individual sales
were made. S. H. Bishop sold 510

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

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.

as a fact i in World cotton produc
tion, a m wer phase that must be
considered in dealing with the pre
sent emergency. “Formerly. ’ he said,
“the South produced from six^y-five
tc seventy five per cent of the World’s
cotton supply, whereas now.’’ he con
tinued, “only slightly over fifty per
cent is produced here. 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.
