WILL HAVE OPPOSITION Though he tins not publicly announced himself as so,'it has been learned from an authority.-, tive source that Thomas J. Mc Pherson, judge of the county! 1 ecorder’s court is very seriously 1 entertaining' a plea of his friends j that he consent to allow hisi name*to be entered in the Demo cratic primary next June as a j candidate for the State senate | from this district. i When seen this morning Judge Me- j Pherson admitted that he had taken ' the suggestion of his friends under advisement but said he Was still un decided what course he would pursue. WANTS SEVERAL TERMS. i “Of course, if I knew it was pos- j sible for me to go to either the senate or the house for several terms.. 1 i would declare my candidacy without I hesitancy,” he said, “but 1 am hot yet certain I would be willing to go to Raleigh for only one term, since, as a usual rule, those who serve only one term seldom if ever attain unto much influence in shaping legislation.” Should he eventually acquiesce to the advice of those who are groom ing him for legislative honors*, Judge McPherson said he would likely make Jtfee race for the senate. iSlince a ^8eWtcr .fr©ra Lee is eligibly for but ■igSiWturtle . senate this year, make the race for . the lower house in 1934. In event Judge McPherson should declare himself for either of the le gislative positions to which Lee is entitled, he would, it is believed, en counter a faTl field of opposition. This is apparent because of the fact that many others, some experienced in le gislative service and others not, are believed also to be thinking seriously of contending for the honors. At this time, however, McPherson seems to be more of a potential candidate than 'any ctf the others, since he has prac tically admitted his ambitions. The others thus far “do not choose” to announoe .their intentions. OTHERS ARE MENTIONED. Among those whose names have .been brovght forward as likely can didates to the senate are: T. S. Cross, 'prominent realtor -of this city: O. P. Makepeace, local capitalist, who has seen legislative experience in both house and sea ate.; and Joe W. Stout, prominent throughout the State as. a fcc-ntractor and iwaTlder as well as a rasoned political leader. For the house, such familiar fig ures as former representative Hosea ,M. .Jackson, Iv. R. Hoyle, chairman of the county Democratic executive com Imittee; and J. J. Edards, veteran poli tical le.ader and former county com missioner, are being brought into (mention by their friends. The names of H. C. Renegar and Dan B. King j local attorneys, as well as that of E. |R. Buchan, member of the county I board of education, likewise have been under consideration, though whether any of the latter group are seriously contemplating the step is only another conjecture. I It will be recalled that Judge Me- ( Pherson made a fight for the lowrer f nouse in losing- to u. r. Make- 1 peace by about 300 votes after a close < ly fought contest. Since that year' his name has not been before the voters, though he served the county '! as judge of the recorder’s court, which is an appointive office. He was for,* years employed by the government as an auditor in the revenue depart- * ment, and was for a brief period as- , sociated with former Governor Angus iC W. McLean, in farm loan work. / FAVORS REFORMS. v “If I should become a member of | •he next general assemblv,” said c Judge McPherson, “I should, first of f ill, want to give consideration to re- o form in the State banking laws. Some t ,hing must be worked out to make ■ :he banks safe for the depositors. | ( Another crying need of the State is i i reorganization of the judiciary. £ Our judicial system is ai\^outgrowth 1 of the obi English systenMAvhich long ,1 ago became antiquated.

TEAGUE SPEAKER AT KIWANIS MEET Local Attorney Selects For Sub ject, “What Kiwanis Has Meant To Me.” “Kiwanis has been an emotional [outlet for me.'’ said D. B. Teague, ad dressing1 the Kiwanis Club last Fri day night at the Carolina Hotel on the subject “What Kiwanis Has Meant To Me.” Mr. Teague explained that one is likely to become hardened to beauty and goodness through the routine of daily life, confronted only vnjh facts. An emotional outlet is 'not only a worthwhile desideratum, but a necessity, said the speaker, anil ,the fellowship of Kiwanis furnishes a vent both uplifting and pleasur able. I Prefatory to these statements, Mi. Teague recalled Or. Horace Williams’ definitions of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Truth is of the reason. Beauty of the emotions and Goodness a combination of Beauty and Truth. The speaker then offered*evidence to « show that Beauty was the most neces sary of these abstracts, emotion being1 the controlling fundamental property >f the human mind. W. R. Makepeace spoke briefly on he same subject, saying that fellow hip meant much to him and tiiai i Ciwanls handshakes once a week ave him encouragement and faith.

Often the goods purchased from * these mail order houses fail to give-satisfaction and should they be returned it is some times weeks and months before the money is refunded. brooks wicker to move TO NEW LOCATION Elsewhere in The Express, Brooks Wicker announces his early removal to the Wilkins-Iiicks building or. the Mrnw-°,f Kn<l,'r aml Wioke>' streets.

PROGRESSIV E M EIICH ANTS Future of City Will lie Assured I3> Adoption of More Co operative Spirit Here. BY P. H. SC ( FAIR. “Trade in Sanford" fas been file consistent watchword of The Express during the forty-five years in which it has served as an exponent for this city. 'Die files of the paper will bear us out that not a year has passed that wo dal not appeal to the people of the Sanford district in our editorial columns to trade here. “We have always believed in re ciprocity or the mutual spirit of co operation which is the same. We have seen the necessity of it from the time the town was a mere hamlet to the present Rood day. One secret of the growth and development of Sanford was the cooperative spirit and confi dence in the to'wn’s future that ob tained among our professional and business men all through the years. They realized that this was the only way we could build up the town and bring- permanent prosperity to our people. The Express has been, a witness to all this and has from time to time made a note of it with a great deal of pride. We felt that perhaps we had a little part in it. But while the tc'wn has made great strides along the line of development during past years we feel that much more could have been accomplished had this spirit of cooperation been more uni form and mo-re general inits natpre. -GREAT TRADE CENTER.' - .
