He had ideas, and a pert way of saying tW ngs. He had .learned a bit about drawing. So his fine young life was spent in'flinging phrases which enriched the manufacturers by sell1 jig for them their sink cleansers, toilet soaps, tooth, pastes et al. “But do you never find time now even for your poems.” “Well you see X married the niece of the Governor.

A few depositors also attended the Meeting. W. E. tSm’tlv of: Ramseur, was made chairman of the meeting and E. M. Underwood, secretary, v Senator T. S. Cross and J. Ca PiM man, who addressed the meeting fex plaih^d in detail the infomuftion they had learned upon attendance’ on sev eral conferences arid depositors! meet-, ings in Raleigh, Following this the reorganization plan was discussed from various anglei" A motion was &T fered favoring the plan, provided a 2tt“per cent dividend to the depositors bn the day that the new bank opens, Is guaranteed. Thi# whs defeated 5y those- Who! favor opening without the i&ir.d!tion named, ami those who are opposed to the reorgMuzabton plan. A motion was. then offered approving the plan of reorganization. This' was defeated, as was a motion to go on record as opposing the plan. 1 , : { Finally a motion was adopted au thor zing the appointment of a com mittee to secure ferther information and1 report hack to the depositors nil the various branches of the institu-, tion. The committee’ hre: E. E. Suggs, of Albemarle; .H. P. Sin th,' of Rair, objections and protest from Istock •folders folding a th rd of the stock -ft- creditors holding a third of the felaims would be sufficient to prevent "the merger, but so fajsho information has been given out as to what amounts ifcere represented in the petitions filed. 1 The great majority of business and professional men in Sanford seem, to be in favor of the reorganization plan.: They see the pressing necessity of a bank in Sanford and are of the op n ioh that that is about the quickest way to get it. Some plan of opening a bank here will have to take shape at oncp if we aspect to have a bank in Gper;bion/by the first of the fall- Pro crastination is dangerous. Ill would he nothing less than a calamity to the town were the opening of the tobacco and cotton markets catch us without a bank to handle the crops. We have heard that there are a few outside men who. would / interested" in the opening of "a bank here if the way is clear. It Seems that it is pos sible to organize a bank here without adopting the reorganization plan. The only reason why some, of the eit zens of the town favor the reorganization' plan is that they feel that . it is the only way that we wilt got a bank any time in the near future.

After some discussion of the j Sales tax it was decided to offer no suggestions as to how it should be' handled, but let the authorities in Ra leigh solve; the problem. A resolution was passed' advocating the question of making a test of the cossfc tutioh- 1 ality of tlio sales taxi in the courts.

Ho asked thorn to c-ose their eyes and think of Father’s Day for a minute. Suddenly Bill Homer dropped down in a chair and, .seomed to be suffering from} an unseen at tack. The doctors present were called to give first aid in the emergency. Then the question arose who made ' the attack with intent to kill. Sus picion pointed to two men, W. C. York and W, L. Jewell. Jim Mclver/acted as judge, E. L. Gavjn solicitor and the other members of the club the jury. W. C. York was called to the witness, stand in his own defense. Ho was questioned byISc-licitor Gavin and Dr. R. G. Sowers for the defense.. W. L. Jewell was also permitted to take tha Witness stand and tell all he kn v about the attack. O ther witnesses ex amined were President Foster, Chas. V. Rogers, S. J. Huskethl and John Davenport. After hearing all the evi dence in the case the jury rendered a verdict to the effect that W. L. Jewell committoed the crime. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE The Sanford F. re Department was called to Pittsboro last Monday to help conquer a fire which for a time looked as if it would destroy most of the town. The big fire eng'ne that carried the boys over could not be used as there was no water to fight the fire. With what water they had at their command and the use of chemi cals they finally got the fire under control. The fire was first discovered in the Enterprise Oil Mill, and spread rapidly to other buildings. The loss is estimated at over $75,000. Mr. P. G. York caught a black bass at Monlr. pond a few days ago that weighed five pounds. As has been.not ed in The Express a number of largo game fish have bien caught in that pond since theSvarm season opened. JUDGE HAYES HEARS CONTINUATION OF PEOPLES BANK VS.

The Tramway trouble apparently ail ;rew out of too much courting of the , Pramway girls by young men and >oys from Jonesboro about 11:30 o’ Jock.

EDITOR VISITS CITY’S NEW WATER PLANT Accompanied by Mayor Banks Wil kins a representative of this paper recently visited the Sanford pumping station and found some 25 laborers at vork on the clear water reservoir, rhey have moved tons of dirt and rock 'roni the big excavation that reminds me of..the fxcavationsithat have been nade to get shale and clay for the 'senhour brick plant at Colon. Part >f the excavation was about as deep is they expected to s’nk it. Quite a ittle blasting has had to bo done in naking the ^excavation.

CANDIDATE CALLS COLORED FRIEND It is said that one of the would-be postmasters of Sanford grew very happy f* few ri ghts ago ever the very, fine brand of beer or liquor tnat he had mixed with his relig on and sen' for Verlon Mclvcr, colored, to c me and sing and make music for him. This reminds us of the Bible story of long ago Yvh.m King Saul had that handsome youth who later became King David, to make music on the harp for him that he might forget, Irs troubles. The difference was that King Saul was morose and downcast over is pond.ng fat*, while the Sanford man was made happy think.ngi of the time when he will boss the boys at the San ford postofnee. Verlon, who has a vi.l e that would make a good fog horn, not only knows how to sing, bul enjoys, the reputation of being an e>: horter among li's. people. He first sang to Ids white fritsid and then preached to lym. one of his best sermons, a ser mon that it is said would make “Cy clone” Mack turn green with envy. “Verlon, do you think I am go'ng to Heaven when I die?” asked the candidate for the postoffice. “Yes, boss,” said Verlon, “You are sho’ going to Heaven.” “Well then, pray for me, Verlon.” In closing the meeting Verlon made >ne of his most eloquent prayers in nlercesiTon for his friend.

FARMERS TO MEET TO HEAR ACREAGE REDUCTION PLAN McMahan To Supervise Plan In County During Next pew ; Days. ** TWO PLANS ARE OFFERED An intens:ve_c6ttoiiu acreage_re>dnc-_ Eon campaign ■will be put on in Lee county next week. Meetings will be held in each township explaining- the purpose of the campaign and giving cotton growers an opportunity to takev advantage of the offer being made by the government to farmers who will co operate in taking part of the:r cotton alnd out of production. Every cotton grower of the county, both landlord and' tennant, is urged to attend ,on$ these meetings. County Agent E. O. McMahan, has announced the following schedule of meetings to be held "next week: Tuesday, June 27th, Pocket Town ship, at Big Springs* School at 0 A.M.

North Cprolina’s share in the mini mum of 10 million acres, to "bo retired from cotton y,reduction 'n the South thi - season 3G3.000 acres, Dean I. 0. Scliuub State College, was noti ced fr -in Washington this week. Be fore any farmer may share in the r'r-'al and option hen efts o fered, he most ret’re as much q,s 25 p^r cent of his individual acreage and not over 40 per cent. The plan of payment for the acreage re tired v. II! be pul into operation when the Secretary of Ag riculture has received suffer nt con tracts to justify Ids declaring the plan operative, Mr. Sfmub said. This means that ITo'sh Carolina’s P0,000 cotton farmers must agree to plow up or otherwise completely re tire from production) at least 303,000 acres of the cotton now under cult’Wi tion. Before any one farmer can share in the cash rental payments and take advantage cf an option on govern-: ment cotton for the/ amour'’, retired, he rrvr-d sign a contract to remove from cultivation c.'t least 25 per cent of Ids own growing crop. He will hot be paid for retiring more than 4Q per cent. This is a new ruling as previous advices, had said that 30 per cent must be retired and a man could plow up and be pa d for all -of his? enp if he so desired. Mr. Sihaub aTco called attention to the fact that .a cotton farmer might take either one of twq plans. If he elects to take a cash rental and op tion, his rental payment will he small er in the expectation that ho willl more than make up the difference on h;s option. If hei docs not want an op tion, he will be paid a larger cash rental.
