TAX COLLECTIONS GOOD Payment Of Railroad Taxes Largely Due To Plan Start ed by Wiiliams. With the receipt of. a check here Monday from the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the amount of which was ,> over JfG.OOO, the total of uncollected taxes in Lee for 1930 dropped to less than $30,000. The settlement of the railroad’s taxes was speeded up by County Attorney Warren It, Wil liams, who, after conferring with several other counties througn whose boundaries the Seaboard runs, was able to offer a compromise to the railroad in the form of a discount ol penalties Which have occurred on the tax books of the several cunties. The railroad, it is learned, accept j ed the compromise proposal which was worked out in a conference in . Charlotte at which County Attorney *- Williams was nresent. In explaining - his action, the County Attorney stated ' that it was irtcumbent in view of tlie fact the penalties were allowed to ac Cumulate since the railroad under went a federal receivership on Dec. 13, 1931k, In the future, however, he , . advised such penalties would be col lectible as- taxes are a part of the '‘railroad’s operating expenses.

A posse of officers composed of Sheriff Arthur Rives, Deputies J. M. Thomas, Henry Poe, Don Covert and Jack Rives made a raid over near the Moore County line Tuesday and cap tured a blockade still, a submarine copper outfit of about 60 gallons ca pacity, under the roof of the home of A. L. Steward. Steward anti another white man by the name of Jim Laughinghouse made their es cape from the house before the offi cers could lay hands on them. In making search the officers found the still ingeniously concealed in the loft of the house. The blockaders enter ed the loft by a hole which they cut through the upper floor in. a closet., The still was carried up through the hole and set up in a furnace that had been constructed across the joist. An improvised chimney carried the smoke out th$ top of the house. A fire was kept burning in the kitchen fireplace so that the smoke would mingle with the smoke from the still and keep down the suspicion of the presence of a still. As the .hole was too small for bar rels to be carried through, they were knocked down and set up in the loft. It is thought that liquor has been made in this dwelling for some time. Officers have repeatedly searche<Lihe house but failed to find the still or liquor. They finally decided to search every comer and cranny and make sure that there was no liquor made and sold. Along with the still- the officers found five barrels of beer and 4 1-2* gallons of liquor. Deputy Don 'ISovert was left in charge ‘while the other officers came back to town to make arrangements to have the still and liquor moved/ While/Steward’s wife entertained De puty Covert/[in the front nart of the house two or three small children were* busy concealing the liquor. It was in half gallon containers. Thev buried *it in the sand under the house. When the officers returned they.rmad^ search pnd found about 2 1-2 gallops of the liquor. They were tmabfe to’ find the other Containers. ‘ ' ■’* , The American Political and Econ omic dcene is not a picture of which we have any right to be proud-— <Jepe Tunney, In Collier's Weekly. . /«*/ * - A Reading left to right, are pictured North CaroTnas Senior United States Senate Jjl . Morrison, of Charlotte, and two of his three opponents: Hon Robert. R. Reynolds.of asheville, and Hon. Thomas C. Bowie, of West Jefferson. The latter two, with Hon Frank D. Grist, of Rxleigh, whose likeness we are here, are seeking to wrest from Mr. Morrison, in what gives promise of being a tical campaign, his Senatorial post. ■ ' > to reproduce uous poli Morrison Appears To Be Favorite Of Lee For U. S. Senatorial Toga - )l ' -V -.4 . - With ^ooveif Prosperity” hanging like a palliovgr th4 country; with the most dn£fnl economic depression since theL establishment of the Re public holding unabated sway, no con siderable attention here thus far has •beer* directed toward the Democratic primaries for the nomination-of sena tor and governor, which loom ahead. For the time at least, the "more vexa tions question'ic^existence tops that of political . Nominally* however, the guberna torial contest ?would command more 'committing themselves because they are hopeful that some one whom they much prefer to any of the can didates now in the race may yet get into the race. Eliminating Sanford, the metropolis of Lee, this county is largely agrarian, and is in sympathy with those forces whose impulses are directed toward relieving the distress in which the farmers find themsel ves. While,. -Ehringhaus, Fountain and Maxwell are highly regarded by the locaLjekctprnte,^ there is a feel ing that" gome olie of the calibre of Josephus Daniels, or Angus Dhu Mc Lean would more nearly reflect the things to which this section is com mitted. ..Ill constsqdence, the domin ant political forces of the Democracy of Lee, as regards the gubernatorial contest, have adopted a policy of “watchful- waiting.” And while, business conditions as they are, thh gubernatorial race is doubtless of far more importance to the voters of this county, the im pending senatorial primary, never theless, is the one to which greater interest is drawn at this ime. The people feel that personnel of the senatorial contestants is more or less settled, and they are going ahead and pledging their allegiance to this can didate and that one. They feel other wise with reference to the guberna torial combatants. To relate a stark truth, their preference is sealed in behalf of some non-combatant, some untried Bryan, who may yet emerge to lead them from the wilderness of financial distress. It is thus obvious that it is the senatorial contest which now commands interest. v And whom of the senatorial candi dates do the people of Lee favor? Ts it the roaring, militant Cam, with his mighty prestige of wealth and power; the would-be champion of the agrarian element, Thomas Contee Bowie; that unparalleled cam paigner, Bob Reynolds, who would strip the Eignteentn Amendment of its teeth and. cU#s; or he, who would offer his candidacy as a test to see whether or not a “poor man may be elected to the Senate of the Unit ed States,” Frank D. Grist? j ; There is an answer to. thi%^ues ticmbut it is not, a, complete.", one. True, .thpre is, much interest -in. iKis con test*^utT there have been no "whole* sale corns nts in behalf of* ftny y Wade tip their minds. Clearly there is a drift among the voters of this county toward the leadership of one of the candidates— and that candidate is Morrison. But will this drift continue? 11 it does,: then he will carry Lee by an over whelming majority. But, if this ten- ' dency toward Morrison is arrested— and it is entirely possible that it may if done soon enough—then there is still a probability that some other candidate than he may carry Lee county. j Senator Morrison has by no means sewed up this county. Far from it. But there is an unmistakable drift to ward him. Had he not supported his friend,- Frank R. McNinch, for the federal Power Commission, his can didacy for reelection would have met with no obstacles here. He would have carried Lee without an effort. ] By going counter to the I wishes of ninety per cent of the Lee Democracy in this, his first vote in the senate, j he made many political enem es, and had he been up for reelection the next! day, he would have got only the votes j of the “Hoovercrats.” But this early | antagonism is dying out. A few still hold this against him but they I are hardly enough to count. His dp- ! ponents concede that he is in the running, and whether he carries Lee 1 or not, he* will get large support. ' In the early stages of his candi dacy Tam Bowie, the West Jefferson statesman, evoked some enthusiasm here, as he did in other quarters. Much as the principles for which he is reputed to stand are nursed here, there is doubt that Bowie, in a sena torial capacity, would have it within his power to provide a remedy His platform is such as might be taken up by a candidate for- governor pr a candidate for the State legislature; Bowie or Grist, but fnnjfr Bob Rey nolds, who is basing hisampaign on hie opposition to the i Eighteenth Amendment. This stand At Mi. Rey nolds, pop dar as it may-he in -ame parts of the country, finds few .-up porters here. No mu- takel Mr. 1!■ y tion seriously. Ti Reynolds threat lies in the fact th.n he young Ashe ville attorney is uensely populai in Lee. In fact. was so popular five years ago t < ' he carried Lee County against t venerable and tried Senator I.< • Overman and commandeered siV"t;g support from the dominant pari;. leaders. He is still much of a 11■ and he is liable to get much-supp u t bere>-not because of his opposition t • a great and ‘‘noble experiment,” but • ause of his own personal popish: nty. There are some here wh>* are as opposed to prohibition a Reynolds him self. They may < ;.-i their votes for him with *pleasM;v. Too, it may be recalled, that w* : a he was Alfred Emmanuel Smith - . ried Lee county by a majority • •!' So watch out for Bob Reyn ■; > Gam Morrison. Though a nv ->f the American Legion, a pou-t ’ nfluence in Lee, Frank1 D. Grist expected to get many votes, i rets the votes of only* those wN- him because he is a poor man. surely in for rough sleddiiw. ’ vidually, some members of th ican Legion may support him, i llectively, he is, not in for much . orting from this source. For whom v ' ' vote for sena tor? That, it • l£ a subject for conjecture: at i> insofar as Cam Morrison and R 'ynolds are con cerned. CATHOLICS PLAN TO BUILD CHURCH Have Purchased Lot and Plan the Erection of A Mission Church Here.

CARL Ti^CoR j Delivers talk TO ROTARY CLUB ( [Yacw Earlv" Migration*; Of Original Settlers In The y United States. RAGEDY ^ FOR FARMERS j 'obacco Companies Fail To Re cog n i/e Interdependence Of The Classes. Responding to an invitation o';tcr',~ Hi Irv^o Sanford Rotary Club, I>r. '■ia y 1 o r, of Raleigh, made a alk 'f^esday at th<f|aioo?i luncheon of j ho crab on inteirojMn and rT-r'd rr— » atipnships. .The -taif was both t‘mr*-, y and interesting.*.' j 0. P.‘ Malcepeapp introduced the [ peakei' as a product of the middle W'fit who had been acquired l>v North Qarolina. Dr. Taylor in - his -alk bristly traced the movement of people, in this country from t ie ear iest times when they began to c^.nn . :o America from Europe and settle ;n Massachusetts and Virginia down to the present day when two thirds jCthe peopld live in the towns and nties and one third in the country. In the early days, said the speaker, the* emigrants to this ^country from Europe settled in villages along- the Atlantic seaboard and \ engaged in farming' for the most part, the peo ple living in the villages and going out to* do their work. Later vpn manv of the people moved to the middle west and far west«where they j Altered land and then their work and manner of living was largely rural. A century ago the average farmer on his own farm about all the things he newled for his dwn use, in cluding the clothes he and his fam ily wore. Then came another day: a new era of the factory and the city, where the farmer had to go to the manufacturer and the merchant for a market; and they, in turn, had to go .to the farmer for a market. TKpir wore irwlonan^Qn f ] fV.it. in terdependence became more apparent as farming ancL*,manufacturing and jnerchandizing became more highly specialized. But this interdependence of. the farmer and the man in town has not always been recognized, declared Dr. Taylor, and the failure /of eitiier party to recognize it was something to be deplored. The failure of the tobacco companies to pay the farm ers a fair price for their tobacco was, cited as an instance in which interdependence had bees* ■'fet-. Stouten and the result , was a tragedv - - -- fanners. No. kone class of class 'without a reaction anTlnTlie end those who have taken advantage of others because they had this power to do so would have to suffer for the wrong done. It may lie stated here that Dr. Tay lor is somewhat of a free lance in his discussion of public questions. Until recently he held a proies^orship ^ State College, when his plain words about a certain matter which con cerned the institution caused him t* lose Ins position. He "stated in his talk to the Rotarians Tuesday +,’«t le had refused to accept a position with the National Farm Board. A number of Sanford liotarians are planning to go to Durham Monday night to hear President Pas cal of Rotary International. The m w president is an Englishman who is ik/.v on a visit to tins Country.
