DAWES GIVES ASSURANCE • Washington, March 2.—Busi ness and hanking affairs in the state received attention here to day in official circles. The day started with an early break fast at the Mayfldwer when Word H. Wood, of Charlotte and Robert M. Hanes, of Winston-Salem, of the state advisory committee, operating under the Reconstruction Finance corpora tion, Colonel Frank Hobgood, and Er nest W. Staples, of Greensboro, and Representative Frank Hancock were the. guests of Senator Morrison, Messrs. Wood and Haines later call ed at the offices of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation;—to dismiss Blatters relating to the organization iand 'work in the state. " , . Accompanied by Representative Hancock, Messrs. Hobgood and Staples ;spent sometime at the treasury, where plans Were given further considera tion for reopening the United Bank and frost Company. The visitor® from Greensboro likewise conferred with General Dawes, president of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, i There are a number of details that must receive attention before the ac tual reopening of the United Bank and Trust Company can be effected, -.surances were given by General -; Mr. Mason, General Dawes* uit, and Jesse Jones, of Texas, -.•W,ect charge of reorganization of. :lhsed institutions, that the movfe nent to reopen the United Bank will ■“live the full co-operation and “ sver financial aid is necessary _the Reconstruction Finance cor loration. , . .

Pittman, lieutenant- governor of the fourth district of Kiwanis’ Carolihas division, made his official visit to the Sanford club at the Caro*: line1 Hotel ladt Friday night. ■ Ur. Pittman, an enthusiastic and prominent Kiwanian, spoke . to his horde club on the meaning and purpose Of Kiwanis, eliminating truisms from, his speech by use of striking-analo-' gies. h* :'/y Dr. Chas. L. Scott and. John Koonce engineer in charge of this highway district,'Were initiated into the club, being ■ welcomed officially-" by J. E. Brinn. Mr. Brinn pointed out that Kiwanis members were selected be-'. Cause of character and ideals, rather' than from affluence or good looks. He stressed the give-and-take character building plan of Kiwanis and spoke highly of the qualifications of the in- j coming- members. Dr. Scott and Mr. Koonce each responded appropriately. S, J: Husketh; chairman of the pro-, gram committee, outlined plans fori future programs, announcing that the I Bev. 'Ei'McN. Poteat, of Raleigh, would be here March 18th. Hie club voted to invite the local Rotary club to this meeting. An invitation was accepted to meet with the Lemon Springs Baptist church at an "early date, the program to‘be under the supervision of the Agricultural Com* inittee. . » . • Mr. Pittman analogized the growtn of Kiwanis with the progress of trans portationrSfio'whg that the fundamen tal soundness of Kiwania had caused it to grow from a single club to an organization of over 100.000 men in a tew years. Further, that just as the needs of transportation gave birth to improvements and inventions, ao the needs of communal life produced Ki* ■wanis and ether civic clubs. Whether civic clubs are'worthwhile desiderata may be answered by' inspecting the record of their growth in America and. by considering the position of responsibility and benevolences they have assumed in our communal life. Mr. Pittman discussed briefly the duties and opportunities of the indi vidual Kiwanian. In pointing out that it is necessary to be active and give one’s self in order to derive the. full benefit of such an organization, he used as a parallelism the acorn, sacrificing its existence to become a tree, the tree dying to furnish lum-! her-—and so on, until finally a beau tiful mansion is built of the finished hardwood. He urged KJwjnians to. | exert themselves to contribute more potently to community and Kiwanis. 1 On this Friday, the 4th, the local club Will attend the divisional meet ing at FayettevHle. Iieutenant-Gov» emor Pittman requested a large at tendance fromhia home club and mam. beys responded by promising almost - a 100 per cent attendance. j McMAHAN CALLS SEEfi*\ ■" LOAN MEETINGS ATUJtDAY All Lee County farmers who are r apyKcatiao for loans from the Farmers’ .

Had the defendant been a citizen of Delaware, he would probably have been given a number of lashes on the bare-back, at the whipping post. Fortunately circum stanced, however, in that he was a citizen of the Old North State instead of Delaware and .that he had a hu mane judge, with the wisdom of did Solomon, to pass upon his case, John* eon left the court room, hand in hand with his mate, both in a happy mood. Things were looking pretty bad for Johnson, who is a resident of .Green* wood township, when Judge McPher son peered over his glasses at toe better-half, who sat within the bar. Her perceived,, that she was viewing the procedure with intermingled pity. She, perhaps, better than I, may; decide mis case, thought the Judge. - “What kind of sentence do you think I should pass upon your hus band?” he asked her. kindly. Holding back her tears, Hie Womaii replied she wanted her husband back at home. That she, by provoking him, hdd caused him to commit the rath act.

SANFORD LOSES "~ CONVENTION BUT GETS PUBLICITY Puts Up A Real Fight Against Raleigh and Charlotte For ■ Democratic Meeting." j, GAVE Bltf TOWNS A SCARE Willard Dowell Says Free Ad , vertising Worth $10,000 For Sanford Alone. Raleigh, March 1.—(Special to The Express)—Well, the big pow-pow is over, and although Sanford could not, even with Clawson Williams’ fluent tongue, convince that excellent body of Democrats who compose the State executive committee that a tobacco Warehouse or a circus tent would suf fice to house the ^militant hosts of Democrary next June, the free adver tising that goes to the Lee capital as a result of her generous invitation, is worth at least ten thousand dollars, Charlie Lainbeth, mayor of Char lotte, Iwho, in extending an invitation to the Democrats on behalf of his city, is credited with making the shortest speech ever made in the hall of the lower House, was so impressed with Clawson’s magnetic plea in behalf of Sanfopd that he immediately made rer servations with Ted Barrow for rooms at the Wilrik for himself and party and drove.over to Sanford for tike night . % hanfords drive for- toe State Con vention brought unexpected results. The real truth is that no one who was boosting Sanford expected but one vote to be cast in her favor. Every one was reasonably captain that the venerable Democrat, Mr John R. Jones, who is Lee’s member of the executive committee, fwould be for* Sanford. There was some uneasiness on this' score but when he was seen sitting beside of Clawson all feat was dispelled. Raleigh seemed to get all the votes until Mr. Jones’ name was called and then he shouted: "San ford." He receiyed an ovation. Prom then on Raleigh got. about all the votes, someone piping, “Charlotte,” sboilt every tenth vote. Satisfied with the orm'vote‘aco<)rde<rtheir city., the Sanford delegation was preparing Melt. ^wbets ’Oha-vUc Ross,. rfe delegation was totally unprepared for this and if Austin McCormick hadn’t come to his rescue by pounding him on the back, A. K. Miller would have Swallowed a ten-cent cigar. All in all, it was a great meeting.' Sanford got a lot of recognition and in her gameness in .bidding for the convention she rated herself with cities like Charlotte, Raleigh . and Greensboro. It’s a small town.hut they certainly have big ideas. A lot of * pouticing was in evi dence, too. You couldnt turn around without running into Dick Fountain; Blucher Ehringhaus, Albert . Cox, Willis Smith and Tom McNeill, active and receptive candidates for the go vernorship. One Sanford man said he shook hands with Dick Fountain six times and with Blucher Ehring no two men ever wore a mo-re. magical smile than the Lieutenant-Governor and the Gentleman from Pasquotdiik. Chester Bell also \was seen in the hall of the House. He, apparently, wasn’t “politicing.” Just looking on. Chester/ you know, is a candidate for state auditor. The speeches were good. Mrs. Pal mer Jerman started them off. As al ways^ hers was snappy and to the point. Then someone espied Senator Joe Bailey and there were yells for him. Senator Bailey told the execu tive committeemen of what Mr. Hoo ver had failed to do and what the Democrats had done. The records, he said,do not show that the President has done a single, solitary thing the last twelve months to help the farm ers. The Democrats, he asserted, have already done a lot for the farm ers and everybody since they have had control of the Idwer, House but the President, he \went on to say, could have, if he had been so inclined, got ten these things done a year ago. All he had to do was call congress to gether, . A. ..Among the JSanford people seen here for the executive committee ( meeting were: Solicitor Clawson L. Williams, John R. Jones, A. A. F. Seawell, Austin McCormick, Theo. Barrow, A. K. Miller, Todd Caldwell, W. M. Leggett, W'. W. Robards, and K. R. Hoyle. SANFORD BIT.ICK COMPANY IS incorporated haus three times. Those miss anyone.

SALE OF LICENSE TAGS HERE THIS TEAR IS SOME LESS The number of motor license tags sold by Bobby Bums at his service station at Three Points during the tag season of 1931 was 3,300. The number' sold during the season that closed on the 15th of February, 1932, was 2,626. These figures show a drop ping of'755 tags this past season in comparison to the season a year ago. The receipts from the ' season just closed totaled $4040.33. The Express is informed that there are several hundred people in San ford and. this section, who failed to buy tags for their cars. These cars are parked in garages at their homes US .they, f^t that they are not able to buy "the fags. They can, after the first quarter has passed, buy a three quarter tag, or later a half or quar ter tag. Mr. Bums thinks that many Of them will do this and that by the end of the year the receipts for tags will be about as great as the receipts were a year ago. They can get these tags in Raleigh or some other city ol the State. tf a m?nm rip X*7Tt 1 AUiiivm YY UilJ HEAD LEE CAMP .Reappointed Chairman of Lee Foyl932 Citizens Military ‘' Training Camp.

B. Teague, local attorney. In a lengthy statement to The Ex* press, Mr. Teague says “because of my regard for public office as an , opportunity to fender service, I have reached this de cision with regret.” While he had not been an active candidate for the senate, Mr. Teague’s announcement of his willingness to enter the race had been generally ■ anticipated fcr some time and his decision otherwise will no doubt he received with sincere regret by many who had assured him of their support. Wide manifestations of support having been accorded, the announce ment he will riot be a candidate changes Somewhat the complexion of the senatorial situation. Whether his supporters will transfer their allegi ance to T. S: Cross, already announc ed candidate for the senate, or seek someone else that measures up to the standards they have set for their candidate is a question tjhat can be answered only by future developments., p Some 'observers have ventured" HmS jipiiwhn fhat Cress,' witkhis'liix views*! Which parallel'’ tjjose M. Josephus .Daniels, will ru>f encounter any oppo sition- - others are inrliord to Uw : to remove others, whose fjjffiirn tWtr*' breught. forward; fc^bbiWsctioM statement, Is as follows: After consideration of my other duties and obligations, I have decided not to become a candidate, for the State Senate. Because of many voluntary offers of support and because of my regard for public office as an opportunity to render service, I have reached this decision with regret, and wish to thank many friends for their interest and confidence. I hope we can nominate and elect men to the Legislature who will vote and work to relieve property of any taxes for the support of the six months school term. That is the first big item to consider. The next big problem before the next Legislature will undoubtedly be to balance the budget, that is make income meet expenses. That this must be done is perfectly clear. The rub will come in deciding how the budget shall be balanced. If property is relieved of all tax for the six months school term, as I con fidently believe it must and will b«, that will cut down the present reve nue from $3,500,000 to $4,000,000, it is estimated. Then to catch up the deficit that is running at present will call for another million and a half dollars, making a total of around $5, 000,000 of new revenue to be found or that amount of expenses to be cut. If expenses are further cut, the big burden of it Will fall on the public school system. ,So it seems clear that the big question in balancing the bud get will be whether to further cut down on the public schools or to find new sources of revenue. It is certain that our homes and farms and small and distressed business organizations cannot be further taxed but must be relieved. So the issue resolves itself largely into the question whether big and prosperous business and wealth shall be further taxed of the schools shall' be made the goat. 1 believe new sources of revenue can be found to balance the State’s fi ances and carry on the schools if the members of the Legislature go at it determined" to do so. Those big and prosperous corporations that are en joying the greatest prosperity in their history can bear a substantial part of the burden. There seems no rea son why the stocks of so-called for eign corporations, but which are in fact domestic corporations, should not be'put back on the tax books. Inherit ance taxes on big estates can be in creased. Income taxes can go up.. There are other sources of legitimate taxation. It will ' be a question of whether We put the dollar above the child and his ehance in life. The platform of every candidate for the Legislature on these and other questions should, in my opinion, be known before we cast a vote. The only assurance we can have as to how a candidate will vote after he is elected is his assurance and pledge ... On Page Eight) ;
