RIDDLE IS CHAMPION
LEE ’POSSUM HUNTER
’Possum Tribe Is .Doing Its
Part To Help Lee People
Live At Home—Riddle
Gets 33 In 3 Nights.
The ’possum trihe is even doing its
part to enable the fanners of Lee
County to successfully put on the
“live at home” program. It is stated
bf hunters that there are more ’pos
sums in .Lee county this season than
ever before known. Hunters also say
they are fatter than they, have ever
seen them. For the past few weeks
hunters have been in the woods about
every night in quest of them and in
many instances they have made good
catches. A few have been caught in
. the. corporate limits of Sanford. Mr.
L. L. Riddle, Sanford Route No. 5,
can be counted the champion ’possum
hunter of the county unless some one
can- surpass*him before the season
ends ana that is going to be hard to
» do. In three nights since "the season
opened he captured 'with one dog 33
’possums in Deep River Township in
thh section around Deep River Con
solidated School. Many of these
’possums were good sized and very
fat. Mr. Riddle has a valuable dog
•which would no doubt sell at a high
price.
NEW GRAND JURY
SYSTEM ELICITS
MUCH COMMENT
Two weeks Mixed Term of.Su
perior Court Convened
On Monday. :
^ PRESIDES
Touches On taw Violations In
His Charge To New Grand
' ’ Jury. v
A two weeks mixed term of Lee
Superior Court convened at the
court house Monday morning at
o’clock with Judge E. H. Cran
mei presiding.
When court opened very few peo
ple were in the court room except
these who were in some way connect
ed with the court or cases to be
heard. Solicitor C. L. Williams was
present and ready to represent the
State in handling- the criminal docket.
A heavy docket was before the court
and a number of important cases to
be heard. Judge Cranmer is well and
favorable known here having held
sevral terms of Lee county court.
The following grand jury was select
ed and qualified: E. M. Underwood,
Sr., foreman; S. D. Hall, L. M.
Hughes, H. C. Gilliam, Chas. Wood,
C. H. Crickmore, E. C. Heins, Sr., R.
J. Bullis, D. H. Cameron, Garland
Perry, C. L. McDuffie, A. J. Love, W.
P. Thomas, .S. M. Johnson, John
Campbell, J. L. Kelly, Alvis H. Hall,
and B. L. Mansfield.
As a law was enacted by the last
General Assembly granting Lee coun
ty the right to inaugurate a six
months grand jury system, the per
sonnel of this jury was of more than
passing interest to the people of the
county. Mr. Underwood, the fore
man, is one of the county’s best and
most intelligent citizens, and will as
near as possible see that the laws
aie enforced. The entire personnel
of the jury is composed of good, pa
triotic citizens, who will co-operate
with Mr. Underwood in carrying out
the mandates of the law. This ne*w
law provides for a six months grand
jury system. At the end of the six
months nine of the 18 members will
retire and nine new ones will be
selected. In this way experienced
members will be kept on the jury. It
is believed that this will prove a great
improvement over the old system
which has become obsolete.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Cranmer touched on many law viola
tions and told the jury that it was
its duty to investigate all reports of
law" violations such as gambling,
blockading, reckless driving of auto
mobiles and ether criminal acts. He
is hard on the fellokv who makes and
sells liquor and stated that people
who claimed that there is as much li
quor made and sold now as there was
before the 18th amendment became a
law were guilty of falsifying and that
those who are clamoring for the re
peal of the law either want it made
easier for them to get liquor or make
and sell it. He charged the grand
jury to see that guardians are re
quired to make reports according to
law. «

RED CROSS WILL
BEGIN ROLL CALL
The Lee County
Chapter of the
American Red Cross
is making prepara
tions for the 50th
annual roll call next
Week. Mrs. Palmer
Hatch is local Roll
Call Chairman. The
organization which
has done so much
for humanity, in relieving sickness,
suffering and disaster for fifty years
is asking for an increase in member
ship so that the work of this splen
did organization may not be retarded
or handicapped for lack of funds.
During the past nine years it has
spent more than ten million dollars,
moie than it’s income in relief work,
thus exhausting its reserve fund. In
that time in North Carolina the Red
Cross has expended ten times as much
as it has received from the state.
Do the people of the state realize
that there 'are 10 automobiles in the
state for every Red Cross member
ship? In our own community the
Red Cross is remembered with grati
tude for its splendid work in connec
tion with the disaster at the Coal
Glen mine six years ago, when they
made such a thorough survey of the
needs of the families of each miner,
artd then appropriated the sum of
$35,000.00 for their help.
During the great drought of 1930-31
that affected so many states, the Red
Cross in eleven months expended
$10,894,363.00 helping 2,765,000 per
sons in twenty-three states. A total
of 614,514 families were given help,
thus saving hundreds of thousands
from starvation and death. It .is
hoped that the call in Lee County
will not be in vain.
Out of every dollar secured £rom
the memberships, fifty cents is kept
dt home, retained in the local trea
sury, and expended for local needs in
relieving distress.

0 fcupiementmg the major plans for
the celebration will be a memorial
observance, a retreat parade, the ren
dition of negro spirituals by a color
ed quartette, a barbecue, and a ball
at the armory.
Joining the local post in the obser
vance will be legion pbsts from Car
thage, Pinehurst, Siler City and Dunn.
Among the distinguished guests ex
pected to be present for the celebra
tion will be General McCloskey, of
Fort Bragg, who has accepted an in
vitation to attend the ceremonies.
The program will open at one o'
clock with a musical program which
will include selections by the Fort
Bragg military band and the singing
of spirituals by a group of local color
ed singers. Following this there will
be staged a number of street contests
under the direction of “Fez” Miller,
idolized as the local “Tex Rickard.”
A group of jesters, recruited from
among local talent, will amuse the
throng with a series of clownish acts
dqring this period.
At three o’clock the most colorful
feature of the celebration, a parade
of Battery “E” of the 113th Field
Artillery of the North Carolina Na
Bragg military band, World War,
Spapish-American and Civil War vets,
wiiU begin. This will be followed by
a, retreat parade which will be enact
ed at the Union Station grounds.
One of the most impressive acts
of the day’s drama will be the mem
orial service. This has been planned
- most original and unique way*
Though the plans for £bis are nc
complete, it was announced Tuesda
night that a casket would be mounte
upon a heavy caisson and drawn in th
parade. Directly behind will, follow
the military cortege.
After the parade those who hav
tickets will be feted with a barbecu
in the Edgar W. Jones building. The
there will be a fifteen minutes cor
celt by the band. The band will the
lead the procession to the high schoc
auditorium where Mr. Daniels wil
deliver his address.
A brilliant ball at the Armory will
bring the' celebration to a close. This
will no doubt be one of the season’s
most elaborate social events and will
j be attended by many of the notables
I who will be present for \he celebra
tion.

FOOD SUPPLIES
ENABLE FARMERS

More Food and Feed Products
Grown In County Than
Ever Before pown.

Women Learn How To Make Old
Clothes Last Another
Season.
Under the dlivcth n of U'>uuty De
monstration Agent K. O. McMahan,
the farmers of Lee county have rais
ed more food and feed products for
“living- at home’’ this year thanjwer
before in the history of the county.
Some of the farmers have enough of
these things to supply them for hvo
years. In this connection it can be
stated tha.t the, farmeis are studying
how to make this "live at home"
movement a permanent thing by
pktnlhig- the things this fall that will
produce a crop mxt spring. Many of
the farmers are putting out cabbage
plants, and , other things than can lie
pat on the market eailv in the year.
As the readers < f The Express know
poultry is luseming one of the big in
dustries of the county. During the
past few years the poultry business
has had a remarkable growth and has
become one of the most profitable
industries the farmers can engage in.
The\ can sell the product for cash
by bringing it to Sanford several
times a year. Mr. McMahan tells
The Express that the receipts from
the sale that was hold here on Octo
ber 28th, amounted to $851.02. 4013
pounds wore put on the market. The
sale included 1,185 pounds of turkey.
This was the largest lot of turkeys
ever sold in Sanford in a single day.
The weather during the summer was
favorable to raising ttnkeys. R. A.
Croce drew the largest check of the
day when he sold 1G4 pounds of tur
keys for $32.80. 100 farmers and
farm kvomen sold poultry at this sale.
The next sale will be' the annual
Pre-Thanksgiving Poultry and Turkey
sale and will be held in about two
weeks.
In making his report to the Agricul
tural Department in Raleigh Mr. Mc
Mahan recently stated: “I visited
several poultry demonstrations this
week to help get the records started
for another year. I found that R. R.

SANFORD HAS STRONG
LEGION ORGANIZATION
Scribe Thought Smoking
Cigars Made From Such
Tobacco Was Like Light
ing and Smoking Money.
The Express of November 1-itn,
1919, carried the following short story
about the highest price ever paid for
tobacco on the Sanford market:
“Some people are wondering what
kind of tobacco sold at $4.00 per
pound in Lee and Moore counties the
other week. We are wondering what
would a box of cigars made from this
tobacco cost. It would be like light
ing and smoking bills of money suie
enough. One dollar per pound for to
bacco is a fancy price. Hdwever, it
has been a common thing to see piles
of tobacco on the floors of the ware
houses at this place which sold at one
dollar per pound. .Planters have sold
whole loads of tobacco here at an
average of 80 to 90 cents per pound.
Some of these planters have more
money than they ever dreamed of
making from one crop. As has been
stated in The Express men bought
land in the spring and made enough
money fsom their tobacco crop to pay
for it in the fall.”
The records show that tobacco sold
higher on the Sanford market in 1919
than ever before or since. Could the
farmers of Lee county sell their to
bacco at the average price that pre
vailed That year they would be in
clbver. Next year they would put
tobacco on all available land on their
farms, even in the back yard. The
farmers were riding high then and
many thought that high ] ces had
come to stay.

COMMISSIONERS IN MEET
County Attorney Will Press S.
A. L. For Collection of
County Taxes.
The higli-spots of Mond iv’s i
meeting of the Lee County com
missioners were the re-election af
E. A. Griffin as ccjnty tax col
lector, the naming of G. E.
White to fill the unexpired term
of T. Riley as constable of East
Sanford Township, and an order
to ('aunty Attorney Warren Wil
liams to take up the matter of
1930 taxes, which are unpaid, with
the Seaboard Air Line Railway.
Mr. Griffin's election to succeed,
himself elicited no surprise as it had
been a matter of expectation. The
Tax Collector has an unusually fine
record for collections, although he has
. no doubt, been hadicapped in the per
formance of his duty by the cur.ent
depression. His record, however, all
factms considered, is regarded as an
excellent one and his re-election has
boon greeted with delight.
G. E. White, who succeeds T. Riley
as constable of East Sanford Town
ship, takes up his work with a record
of many years of work as an officer
behind him. Until his resignation sev
oral months ago, he had been on the
local police force for a number of
years. He will be a worthy successor
to the veteran T. Riley whose declin
ing health made it imperative for him
to give up his duties as constable.
The minutes of Monday’s meeting
of the Commissioners reads as fol

LEE POST NO. 18
HAS BEEN ACTIVE
AS LOCAL FORCE
Local Post of l'-e American Le
gion Was Formed In Octo
ber, 1919.
HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH
Rendered Valiant Service Dur
ing Coal Glen Mine Dis
aster In 1925.
On a crisp Autumn evening in
1919 a handful of World War
veterans gathered in the old
Commercial club room on Moore
street. Before this small, but
determined group of men had
adjourned they had launched an,
organization that has ever since
been potent in this community
as a vehicle for the expression of
true Americanism.
The organization which on that day
ventured forth in swaddling clothes is,
and was then, Lee Post No. 18 of the
American Legion.
To gain an accurate idea of what
led to the organization of the local
post of the American Legion it is ne
cessary to go back to the days that
followed the signing of the Armistice
and to review the thoughts that were
then uppermost in the minds of those
who had given themselves in defense
of their country.
A few months after the close of the
war a committee whose officers de
clared it “repiesented eveiy S.ute in
the Union, every rank in the army and
navy and every shade cf political be
JteJ,” issued a call for a caucus in St.
Louis, Mo., to effect pre’iminary or
ganization of the Ameiican Legion,
to be composed of the American vete
rans of the World War.
The caucus call , was signed by
Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of
nett Clark, of Missouri, vice chair
man; and Lieut. Col. Eric Fisher Wood
of Pennsylvania, secretary, together
with upwards of 200 cojmmitteemen
drawn froni the commissioned and en
listed personnel of the army, navy
and maiine corps and lep'-esenting
the 48 States and the District of
Columbia.
“The Legion will not interest itself
in politics., but wi11 make its influence
felt in regard to policies.” Lieut. Col.
Koosevelt declared, in discussing the
embyro organization. It will be strict
ly non-pai tisan, he added, its object
being to perpetuate comradeship form
ed during the war, to preserve the
history of the conflict and to main
tain the principles for which Ameri
can soldiers and sailors trained, fought
and died.
Following the lead of the commit
tee, legion posts were organized
throughout the country, state organi
zations perfected and delegates chosen
to take part in the national conven
tion which was first held on Novem
ber 11, 1910—just one year after the
signing of the Armistice.
On September 23, 1919, a meeting
of former service men was held at the
Commercial Club when it was decid
ed to make application for a charter
for a local po>t of the American le
gion. In repotting the meeting the
.Sanford Express said:
‘“About twenty-five veterans wore
present, a number being kept awap
by the inclement weather. The Con
stitution of the North Carolina or
ganization of the American Legion
was read and discussed, as were by
laws for a. local Dost of thi< nrirani
“While only fifteen members are
necessary to secure a charter for a
local post, it is the earnest desire of
those interested in the Amenoan Ix*
gion to enroll every white former ser
vice man in Lee county in this post.
As the years roll on the memory of the
months spent in the service, whether
in.Amc-ica nr in Hurftpo. will cr-ne
to mean more. This organization has
for its purposes the preservation of
Amei icanism and the interest of those
ipen who served in the aimv, navy
or marine corps in the Great' War.
“ A 11 mm it tee decided that the focal
post should be l;nmvn as the “!>>e
Post of the American Legion.” The
charter is expected within the next
two weeks.
“Among those present at Thursday
night’s meeting were: C. P. Cross,
Dan B. King, Thos. J. Keith, J. F.
MiHikin, Sam R. Hoyle. Henry F.
Makepeace, Walter E. Temple, G. H.
Presler, Lorn 0. McNeill, M. H. Hen
nessee, R. E. Bobbitt. J. If. Worthy,

wards, C. E. Teague, Jack Riddle, H.
C. Newbnld, J. D. Edwards, J. R.
Jones, Jr., and W. D. Harris.”
Thirty-five members having been
enrolled, twenty-one of whom were
charter members, another meeting for
the purpose of the election t>f officers
was held two weeks later. At this
meeting the following were elected an
officers:
Post Commander, J. F. Millikan;
Vice Commander, H. F. Makepe^e;
Adjutant. S. R. Hoyle: Finance Offi-1
cer, H. C. Newbold; Historian, G. R.
Paschal; Chaplain, W. S. Golden.
Since the organization of the local
post the following have served an
commanders: 1919, J. F. Millikin:
1920, Dan B. King; 1921, H. F. Make
peace; 1922, John R. Jones, Jr.; 1923,
