Sanford, N. C, . August 10, 1933.
Those Georgia planters can
certainly howl—it was heard way
up in Washington. i
Government to mail cotton
phecks at early date. Yon don’t
need yours, do yon Mr. Planter?
I Bloody election in Kentucky.
Bloodshed in Tariieeha seems to
always come after the election.
Die drys are certainly warm

Hundreds of new concerns
signing President’s code daily,
pome on in, folks, the water’s
fine.
Safe crackers’ car wrecked
near Sanford. Wonder if those
fellows throught Sanford really
did have a bank?
. Sanford’s night loafers will
have to find something else to
do since the ding stores are
dosing at 9.30.

Two French airmen set new

4 Possibly a dose of tear gas
might bring some of oar wild
cat bankers to their senses. The
Stock Exchange certainly took
notice.
County purchases jackass. We
certainly thought that the com
munity had more than her share
of the long-eared gentlemen, but
evidently someone thought not.
Don’t get your hands burned
moving that warehouse debris,
boys. We call that fast work.
Sure Sanford’s going to have a
new warehouse. Who said no?
'Government taking steps to
regulate leaf tobacco prices. All
right, Mr. Smoker, get set for
an increase in the price .of your

WILL SANFORD
rHAVE A BANK?. /,
The question that hag been
Uppermost in the minds of the
people of Sanford for several
months is: “Will Sanford have a
Bank ?” This question will have
to be answered by the people of
the town and community. It is
within their power to have a
bank if they want it bad enough,
i jOt® way seems clear for the or
ganization of a bank here if the
stock can be raised to put it in
operation. It will require $50,000
stock to organize and set up the
proposed bank. The required
amount of money can be had it
the people who should be con
cerned in' a bank are Willing tc
"put out.” The money is here in
Sanford. It is generally known
,.that # lot of money has been de
posited in the Sanford post of
fice during the past year or two.
No one knows the amount ex
cept those who have handled it
It is believed that a small per
cant of this money would put the
bank in operation. The only way
that this money can be had is to
- convince the owners that it is to
their interest to take stock in a
bank and help put the town on
the map again. It is no secret
that Sanford cannot go forward
and take advantage of the oppor
■ Mlta |g
tunities just head unless we have
a bank. •*.
The Express realises,’ along
with the people of the town,
that Sanford is facing the great
est crisis in its history. Just as
well be willing to fact the facts
and try to meet the problems
that confront us as best we can.
We believe that Sanford will
have a bank before the leaves
begin to fall—not a chain bank,
but an independent, local bank—
a bank that will be owned and
controlled by local people. This
is the program today. Who can
object to a bank of that kind?
We have tried the chain banks1
mid they put us in the hole. We
are not here to say why they
failed, but their failure resulted
in the loss of thousands of dol
lars to the people of Sanford add
this community.
The people who take stock in
the bank that will be organized
hpfe soon will have the power to
name the officers who will run
the b/rk. Banks now have better
protection by law than a few
years ago When so many failed.
A law which was enacted by the
last Congress will guarantee
bank deposits beginning the first |
of next January. It is beb'eved!
that finally all banks will be
wuvcxi uva uiu conuruneu uy me
Federal government.
It was decided at a meeting
of citizens of the town < at the
City Hall Monday night that the
new bank should be a Federal
bank. Gurney P. Hood, Commis
sioner of Banks, gave his consent
for the people of the town to go
ahead and organize a local bank.
Evidently he has become con
vinced that this was the only
way that the town wbuld get a'
bank. It is stated that the Page'
Trust Company may not become
a part of the Guaranty Bank,j
which will be organized from
the North Carolina Bank and^
Trust Company, of Greensboro,
and the Independence Trust
Coppany, of Ohriotte. It seems'
that the Page Trust Company
is so tied up in the courts that it
may not be able to become a
member of this merger.
*A committee of 20 citizens of
foe town and county was appoint
ed to solicit stock for the propos
ed bank. They will call on fhej
business people of the town and,
county during the next few days
and ask that they help make1
possible the organization of the1
t>ank by subscribing stock. Every
citizen in Sanford should be vi-j
tally interested in the organiza
tion of a bank here. It would not *
>rty build up the town, but would
enhance the value of real estate,-'
and bring more business to the'
merchants and other concerns of
the town. It would help the farm I
er as it would mean a better mar i
ket for his cotton, tobocco and
other crops. Sanford has some
how managed to exist for sev
era} months without a bank, but
this thing cannot go on indefi!
nitely. The sooner we realize thi^1
the better it wilt be for all con *
eerned. t
WHY NOT?—IT MAY ,
BE WORTH A TRIAL.
We have heard of cotton pa
per, cotton seed oil, and cotton
cloth—now comes cotton hay. |
Some few of our farmers seem1
endowed with that same qualify1
which caused some of our famed j
Chicago meat packers to save
even the dying squeals emitted!
by those fat Western porkers.
At times, at least, we are
prone to agree with out Catawba
county farmer friend who said it
was against his religion to plow
up his few acres of beautiful
cotton—still we also like to think
that Uncle Sam knows best.
Those thousands of farmers in
the South who didn’t mix their
religion with too much agricul
ture were given a chance to de>
fnonstrate a little everyday in
genuity. Some of the more indus
trious farmers of the Mississippi
dela area just couldn’t bear the
thought of seeing those luxur
iant, boll-laden cotton stalks
withering and rotting after
those many days of hard labor
spent in preparing the crop, even
though they were ' reimbursed
for their acreage by the govern
ment. Man is a sentimental crea
ture. Even though we are becom
ing more and more mercenary
every day, human nature wul
retain a certain degree of senti
ment until this old earth decides
to call it a day. In some sections
of the South where cotton is the
solefarm commodity, and where
•planters know little of other
crops, that plowed up cotton
just simply had to be put to some
use. Why not turn it into hay
Was the resulting idea and hun
dreds of those Louisiana and
Mississippi cows have become fat
off of green cotton hay..
We were talking the other day
to a fanner of the Broadway
section who has been cultivating
the same fertile tract of land for
about forty years and during
that long period of time he has
found it indeed practical to live
at home. This is the type of
Southern fanner that is putting
agriculture on a paying basis. He
is continually thinking of some
plan by which he may beat the
time merchant around the stump
There are still many divisions of
agriculture that are in the ex
perimental stage and with a
show of progressiveness and co
operation our farmers may still
be able to prove agriculture a
paying project Turn loose that
bag of tricks, Mr. Farmer.
SANFORD ASSURED
OF .WEED MARKET.
Since the 3 W warehouse was
destroyed by fire there has been
some question as to whether or
not Sanford’s tobacco market
would be crippled this season by
this loss, but The Express now
feels assured that a warehouse
will be built to take its place and
that the market will be'better
this season than it has been in
its history. The business people
of Sanford are coming to the res
cue of their town in this crisis
magnificently. The skeptics and
faint hearted who see only the,
dark side of the picture will have
to take, a back seat. The testing
time has come - and Sanford is
going to make a successful
‘‘come back.’* The woifd “fail
ure" is not in the vocabulary of
the people of Sanford who have
faSth by. their town and want to
see it succeed and push forward
to higher and better things.
The tobaccd crop in this sec
ticrr is the largest crop that has
been raised in years and with
three warehouses In operation it
is predicted that there will be
from four to five million pounds
marketed during the season. We
expect to see !a new bank or
ganifeed and in operation by the
time the market opens. A long,
PuR and a strong pull is the
thing that will now count for
Sanford. •'
WET LEADERS ASK ~
FOR STAYBUJTY.
Fran “MURPHY to MAN
TEO" the wets are saying that
the DRY MAJORITY in North
Carolina is blocking stability be
cause they protest the desire of
the WETS to LEGALIZE LI
QUOR thus putting the bottle to
their brothers lips. Ain’t that
STAY-BILITY. STAY to
tarry. For thousands of years
they have tarried long at the
cups. STAY-BlOTY, yes thev
away from home. STAY-BILITY
they stay wrapped around tele
phone poles until the wrecker
comes. STAY-BJLITY, yes they
stay in the ditch. STAY-BILITY,
yes they stay away from church
and setting themselves up as
aristocrats of immorality would
dictate that they should not be
criticised by the preachers.
STAY-BILITY, yes they' stay
with the bottle until their pickled
bodies go to the grave and disin
tegration and their liquor soaked
souls are hung out to dry on the
clothes lines of Hell.
Ihe WETS have made a won
derful discovery in trying to re
peal the 18th Amendment. In
the great financial storm they
would anchor the- ship of state
to a bottle and i» the bliss of
drunken ignorance ride on to de
s traction.
The public usually senses the
hearts of men and the names
WI?rS and DRYS more nearly
express the. Bpirit of the cam
paign thaa any sophistry can
telL They are what their names
imply, WETS and DRYS.
i
Clever arguments may fool a
few people but the great body
knows that many of the WET
leaders want money or tax eat
ing jobs but of ?epeal and when
the generals look around to
their followers the only sincere
cry they can detect is: “I want
a drink.” %!\ r,
Dry people who wish to pro1
tect our State'and our homes
wake up. FIGHT—and on Nov.

UNDER THE/-IG
WHITE DOME
••'the Depression
of fortune and
Tragic _^ .
radical readjustments of personal
budgets during past three years
have taught Amjencan families many
which may be of permanent
value as guides to simpler but hap
pier living. .
The ever-practiced Golden Buie
Foundation of New York City has
secured over one thousand dollars of
private funds which the/ are offering
for the best thrift and household eco-1
nomy suggestion*'result ng from the
experiences of individuals and fami
lies during the depression. These
awards are offered for the purpose of
drawing out and conserving these con
struct)ve experiences of the depres
sion. The Thrift Suggestion Contest
is open to all dtixens and will include
awards for the h^st suggestions on
economy and thrift in all departments
of the personal arid family budget, in
cluding food, clothing, amusements,
Christmas and anniversary giving. The
awards seek especially to discover new
method* of supplementing family in
come.'-'.
Attention is Ailed to the fact that
even with the utmost success of the
National Recovery Act there will be
many millions of unemployed during
the coining winter and millions of
others whose resources are so depleted
that strict economy will be necess$?
to balance the family budget.
Awards totaling three hundred dol
lars are offered for the best series of
menrig representing Lowest cost with
adequate food values for use during
International Golden Rule Week or at
other periods of the year. All menu'
entries wall be jbdged and the awards
made by a committee of expert dieti-J
tians and household economists. |
Awards totaling not less than one'
hundred dollars are also offend fSri
the best eecnouAwft'tfedft *oggeo-|
ti oils in connection with the family j
wardrobe. j
One hundred dollars or more in
awards will be made for the best
suggestions fur Christmas, wedding,
and anniversary giving. The aim of'
these suggestions is to maintain and
further develop the commendable prac'
tice of giving on these occasions, but)
at the same time to avoid the enor
mous waste .that is now inc dent to
giving expensive presents that the
donor can ill afford and that often)
are inappropriate. ,, v
Awards totaling one hundred dollars |
or more w 11 be given for the best
suggestions as to ways, of increasing,
the family income. T)he depression has j
developed many ingenious forms of
supplementary self-help, home indus
tr as, household arts, gardening, mar
keting, hobbies and lucrative avoca
tions. Suggestions growing out of
these experiences will be considered;
in competition for these awards.
A series of awards totaling five
hundred dollars or more will be given
for the best suggestions on construe-1
tive economy and saving without sac-1
rfiring cultural values on such items',
of the family budget as housing, re-1'
creation, books, amusements, travel,'
etc. This amount also includes awards
for suggestions on stewardship educa
for drawings, poetry, ep'grams, slo
gans, pictures and humorous stories
pertaining to thrift and economy. De-| i
tailed information is available from i
the Golden Rule Foundation;5 Lincoln
Building, New York, N. Y.
The award winning thrift sugges
tions will be given to the public in the
autumn-in a series of press releases!
and published in a book for distribu
tion through church and benevolent
agencies. The aim is not only to help
the unemployed and those' who with
inadequate income must economise,
but also to challenge those in better
ereunutances to "Siam, Save and
SHARE” with those less fortunate
hiring Golden Rule Weak in De
cember. $-■■■ i ",
America Flies Ahead,
r There’s a real th^U- for Americans
m the survey of world aviation just
completed by W. B. Courtney, aviation
editor of Collier’s Weekly. Mr. Court
r.ey spent ten week* Europe, flying
over the leading commercial air
routes. He found nothing. in Europe
to compare with the fast regular sdhe
dulss which are now In constant use
ill over the United States.
“The a'rways oif, Amerca - have
caught up with and passed nil foreign
rivals/’ he reports. "They are now the
most efficient and reliable in the
World.”
American airport#Vare superior to
anything in Europe; American airway
schedules are faster, more reliable,
safer; Americans fly more miles per
day than all the rest of the world put
together. These are Mr. Courtney's
conclusions, and he has all the neces
sary facta and figures to back than
up. Air mall la still In its infancy in
Europe; there are many air ma l
routes, but they are aery slightly used
and are regarded by the governments
as instruments of propaganda rsQfor
than practical everyday matters of
general convenience. American, air
mail pilots carry mere air mail in's
day than the average -European coun
try does in a year.
> .Night flying la almoat unknown In
Europe. No more than four commer
cial planed are in the air at night on
the whole continent. In America near
ly 100 commercial pianos are flying
on regular schedules every night of
the year.
, Some of Mr. Courtney's findings,
even in minor matters, are as inter
esting commentary on European con-}
servatism. “In boxing air freight,’* he
says, r “the Europeans use lumber
where we use tight paper cartons.
European packers are .thorough, and
they have .a droll faith that lumber
will . protect the goods in csss of
crackups.”
Mr, Courtney’s report, the most- au
thent’c and complete of its kind which,
has yet. been made, will have a wide
technical and popular interest; and
will probably be read with consider
able care in Europe, where a realiza
tion of their comparative inferiority
does not yet seem to have completely
penetrated. . -
The Machsnesry Starts. }
The great National Recovery pro
gram is moving forward along alt
fronts. A bond issue for 1850,000,000
has been oversubscribed, many codes
have been completed and most of the
industries have been covered in by
blanket regulations framed at Wash
ington—because the officials of the
Government wouldn’t wait.
There are a good many squeaks in
the new machine tout the Government
has been busy with its oil can and the
result is that everything is running.
even more smoothly than was antici
pated.
