SANFORD SUSTAINS
A GRIEVOUS LOSS.
“Chief Me Kern an is dead. ’
That was what the crowd, who
stood late Saturday afternoon
watching the S-W warehouse go
lip in smoke, heard..
THE CHIEF had answered
his last' fire alarm. Have you
over stood by and watched Big
John direct Sanford’s Smoke
Eaters in stopping a blaze ? or
observed him supervising a
group of workmen on the city
* «traets engaged in some munici

pal improvement? or seen the
ease and ability with which he
has performed his duties as San
ford’s Chief of Police?
then you will readily understand
what a loss has beau sustained
in his death.
A total the site of Sanford is
indeed fortunate wh«t it has in
its municipal service a man'who
can be relied upon to ably super
vise the functioning of its many
branches of public works. San
ford had that in none other than
John McKeman. To replace him
will be next to the impossible.
The esteem with which this
man was held was indeed mani
fested by the vast number of out
of-town city officials and local
citizens who attended his funeral
on Monday morning’. God rest
your soul Big John, you died
while at the post of duty.
WHAT ABOUT :
GOD’S HOUR?
I My friend, were you among
the fortunates who heard the
-Rev. Altai Frew on Sunday night
last at the First Baptist church?
The young man’s thought and
discussion was centered on the
seeming failure of the present
world to give God his hour.
The appeal seemed indeed to
come at the opportune time. We
Americans are today facing a
period of shorter working hours,
more leisure time, and a general
increase in salaries. Have you
stopped to think just what you
are going to do with the increas
ed number of hours which you
may call your own? Mr. Frew is
asking us to do as the Samaritan
woman did: Forget our water
pots and give God His hour.
It is suggested that if we
’hadn’t been so engrossed in
clipping coupons and reaching
. for more of Unde Sam’s cur
rency back in 1929 and had at
least given God his due the situa
[tion that is today staring us in
! the face would probably never
I have come about. We wer# just
! too busy drawing water to re
1 member from whence it came.
People like to have things
made easy for them. Our govern
havesee^ifit J
increasing our time for
' Well, for what? Just what an
<you going to do with that extn
time? Why not put down your
water pots had give part of that
, time to something you appear to
'.have fotgotten? What about
‘ GOD’S HOUR.
WILL THE BLANKET
BE LARGE ENOUGH?
For the past few weeks we
| have heard code this and code
j that—and now comes one cover
ing the tobacco industry. On
issuance the R. J, Reynolds Com
pany notified tiie government
that the earning power and wage
scale of its employees had never
been reduced, therefore making
it unnecessary for them to make j
changes in accordance with the
national recovery program. I
This Seems to us to be an ad-j
mission by the tobacco compan-j
ies that in spite of general chao-,
tic conditions among other huge
industries they have been able!
to hold their standards to those ’
of the “palmy days.” We failed
to notice any explanation of how
such a procedure was pos
sible.
Probably the men best quafr
fied to answer that query an
those tax burdened, over mort
gaged tobacco farmers working
in the heat of a scorching Au
gust sun with their wives and
children to produce a tobacco
crop for which they are paid
next to nothing. It is no wonder!
that the tobacco companies are
able to issue fat pay envelopes,
work their clerical forces on
short hours, and at th*> end of
the year show enormous profits.
What do you ttiink?
-With government success
quite evident in its demands on
other sections of agriculture why
not one that will offer long
needed protection to the South's
mass of tobacco farmers? > We
say protection just as it sounds.
It seems impossible to bring
about any degree of cooperation
between the tobacco industry
and the planters. Result—_a
i^eed for PROTECTION.

LET’S GET BUST ON A
NEW WAREHOUSE.
The Fates seem determined
that Sanford’s facilities for mar
keting local farm products shall
open under serious disadvan
tageathis season.
First^we have odr hanking
troubles; then on Saturday last,
our oldest tobacco warehouse
went up in Sanford’s most des
tructive fire in .many months.
When it rains it'poup. With this
went the hopes of many for a
successful tobacco market here
this fait We don’t shout catas
trophe from the house tops, but
if Sanford is to live up to past
records made in tobacco sales
something must be done to re
store this loss mid done imme
diately.
Brother, if you have any help
ful suggestions to make, or can
offer aid of any kind, don’t keep
it under your hat—out with it!
NOW. i
WHAT ABOUT YOUR
PART IN THE CODE*
For the past few weeks much
has been said by the press about
the new code that was finally'
put on in all sections of the conn-1
try this week by the administra'
tkm to work out a plan to relieve *
the people of this terrible de- j
pression and bring prosperity!
and happiness to the masses.
There is no way of knowing how
the thing will work out as it has
no precedent. In a Way it is a
leap in the dark, but it is believ- j
ed that it is workable and will'
prove a success if merchants,'
manufacturers and others will'
carry it out as planned. Presi- j
dent Roosevelt has said that it
will be impossible for him to j
make a success of it unless he
can get the cooperation of the
people in putting it over. i
In a talk before the Kiwanis
Club last Friday night Mr. D. B. j
Teague discussed the code and
said it was the second great'
revolution in this country. We
think it can be called the great- j
est revolution of its kind in the!
history of the world. In fact;
there has never!, been anything
iu the history cff the woridfeffi
it. Should it prove a success in
this country the good effect will
®o doubt spread to other coun
tries. Uoyd George, one of the
great English statesmen of to
day, is quoted by Mr. Teague M
stating that there are now three
countries in the world in . which
'great revolutions are In progress,
[Russia, Italy and America, and J
that the most interesting, of the I
[three is in America. The condir
tion of things made this kind of
* revolution necessary. The coun
.try was facing a crisis and it was
found necessary to give Presi
dent Roosevelt the power of a
dictator to bring about a change
and save the country from what
might eventually be a bloody
revolution.
■The people of the country are
responding to his plan of bring
ing order out of chaos by putting
»n a program that is revolution
ary in its nature. They feel that
yum ui operauon
prove a failure, the financial con
iition of the country could not
»e made much worse than it has
been for the past two or three
years. People who fail to co
operate with the government by
putting on this code will be put
in a class with men who proved
to be slackers during the World
War."
Some 40 merchants and other
business and manufacturing
concerns of the town have sign
ed the blanks that they received
from Washington through Post
master Ralph Kennedy. They
put on the program. Tuesday
morning and many have put up
the blue eagle on the front of
their places of business which
shows that they are working in
cooperation with the govern
ment to make the thing a suc
cess. These blue eagles are sup
plied by Postmaster Kennedy,
who has also received a large
batch of th$m from Washing
ton. " ‘ *!
Sanford’s National Guard out
fit preparing for annual encamp
ment. Hope the boys will live up
to the record they have made in
years past.

Editor Harris Pays Visit
T® New Mining Are*
-V '.v..;. ;( -
Mr. Wade H. Harris, editor M the
Ouurtott* Observer, recently made a
trip form Deep River and published
th* following story about a visit to
the mine ef the North Carolina Cool
Mining f&rpoteiioa near Carbonton: 4
An advertisement m Sunday's Ob
server indicated a new strike in the
coal fields of the Deep River section,
the development being operated by
the North Carolina Cool Mining Cor
porstion, and information of a now
coal mine set the editor of the Obser
war an* an exploring expedition. iPol
lowing directions given at Carthage, it
was found that the mine is located
just off a fine country road, which is
crossed by the Norfolk Southern, and
o short distance from Carbon ton, hid
den in a wooded strip of pines and
scrub oaks, close to the dividing line
of Chatham and Moore counttae. The
thing that made it look like a coal
mine was a monumental pile of black
debris accumulated from preliminary
workings to the main deposits under
ground. There is no tipple and the
engine house is but a crude affair,
constructed to serve development pur
poses, but the bine prints for an intan
mve mining plant given token of what
is to appear on the landscape when
operations are started in a commercial
way. The preliminary work has been
going on for two years and all is now
in readiness for construction of the
permanent mining plant. Underground
the'coal runs in sheets 32 inches thick
and surveys show a practical inex
hansbble field, with the interesting
possibility of striking hard or anthra
rite Coal. It is a bituminous mine of
the same character that prevails in
the old Egypt district, but the engin
eer has noted that as the shaft goes
down the coal takes on a hardness
that indScates a change from Mtumin.
ous to anthra^te. This has been long
regarded as a possibility in the coal
mining region of the State and is a
posh bility of considerable consequence.
So far, mining has been conducted
merely on a demonstrative way, but
with an eye to initial revenue, as the
plant is taking put about 20 tons a day
and has made contract for supplying
the Moore County court house and
school houses. The capacity of the
mine, when in full operation, will be
sufficient <te keep coal trains on the
go every day . in the week. W. A. I
Keys, » miner of tong experience, Is'
superintendent of the company wS
T. J. Williams is engineer. So has had'
experience in some of the famous
mines in the West and the boast is
that these two men have had a *******
hoed experience in coal mining of 87

Norfolk Southern for yean past This
is tbe oniy coat rhino in the State now
in operat’pa, there having beat saa
at the Carolina a. id the old
Cumnock, but the opening of the new
mine is expected to bring back activity
in coal mining in that field.

that lamb chop# really come into

The reuon for this seasonal
popularity perhaps la that we tire'
of salads and long for some of the
substantial meat dishes, which are
the backbone of winter menus, it
Is asking too much though, to ex
pect the housewife to stand orer
a hot. oven for-an hour or two
while a roast browns, while the
thermometer outside the kitchen
door soars above ninety.
•* Broiled lamb chops are always
a happy solution. There is lust
enough delicious meat on a chop
to satisfy the natural craving for
meat and they are easily prepared.
They go well with the lighter fresh
Vegetables and salads and too, they
are easily adapted to platter din

One Important point to romom- . j
bar la the preparation of Iamb
chop* In that they most be prop- 1
erljr seasoned to obtain the (nil
flavor of the meat. As in the cook*.
Ing of Tegetables, a dash of sugar,
along with the salt and pepper Is
needed to round out the seasoning. -
This touch of sugar in not enough
to sweeten, but acts as a blending
agent for ' the other neasoners.
Here Is a recipe which Is worth
trying. _■ _ f .- . 1.,

Heat the broiler well and rub the

a mixture of % teaspopnful each
of sugar and salt and , a dash of.

and flnish cooking further from the
heat. For rare chops cook only 7 ,
to 10 minutes, longer If yon like
