SOME SANFORD
ACTIVITIES.
It is now predicted that the ap
proaching holiday trade will be bet
ter in Sanford than it has been in
years. It has been better so far
this fall than we have known it even
dating back before the financial de
pression visited this section. Al
though there has not been as much
tobacco eold here as there was last
fall, much of-the money spent here
is from tobbcco raised in this section
and carried to other markets. It
develops that the tobacco crop was
short this year due to the unfavor,
able weather''during the growing sea
son, and much if that that was rais
ed was bf a sorry ghde and sold at
low priced; ' This id the reason that
the average price was not as high
as it should'‘hare been. The besL
grades brought-’ ‘ high prices. We
think the figures will show that the
high grades sold for as high prices
as on any market in the belt.
It is expected that a movement
will be put on foot for the construc
tion of a re-drying plant here be
fore the next season opens. This
would no doubt do much to build up
the market and help to make Sanford
one of the leading tobacco markets
in the state.

on the Sanford market from the sur..
rounling section since the fall season
opned. This has done much to circu
late money in the town and section.
All manufaturing plants are being
operated to their full capacity, ami
are circulating a good lot of money
among the merchants and other bus
iness people of the town. Wages
are good and most of the laboring
people have jobs. The Edwards
.Railway plant and the new pants foe
toxy have done much in the way of
increasing the pay rolls here. An
other pay roll will be added to the
list early in the year. We refer to
the Seaboard Roller Mills. This
concern, which was placed in the
hands of a receiver several years
ago, has been bought by D. C. Law
rence and son, D. C. Lawrence, Jr.
who will make repairs, additions and
changes and put it in operation at
an early date. Messrs Lawrence
are both successful business men and
it is expected that they will make a
success of their new venture Peo
ple who know D. C. Lawrence, Jr,
and his business capacity, regard
him as a “chip off the old block.”
His friends hope that he will find it
to his advantage to locate here and
make Sanford his home. For sev
eral years he has traveled for a
large concern, and has made good at
the business.
ROOSEVELT REACHES THE
PINNACLE OF SUCCESS.
It has lonog been a problem: “What
shall we do with our ex_Presi
dents ?'’ Sometimes we have had
one on our hands, sometimes we have
had two. They seem to be about
as much at a loss to know what to
do with themselves as the people
know what to do with them. We
believe that ex_President ,a Hoover
made only two speeches during the
recent campaign in support of Lan.
don. It seems that he was not ask
ed to speak by the head of the Re
publican organization. Wonder why
they’gave him the cold shoulder ?
Some of the men who have served
as President of the United States
have had to retire from office and
pass away before their greatness
and ability was appreciated by the
people of the country. Great men
are often misunderstood while liv
ing.
In writing under the caption of
“Mr. Roosevelt and Destiny,” Ger
ald W. Johnson, one of the able edi
torial writers on the Baltimore Sun,
says: 1
“It is a great thing to have attain
ed the very pinnacle of political sue
cess. ..i
nuwever, uiere is a somure con
sideration in connection with it When
a man stands on the very tip of
Mount Everest, there is nowhere to
go but down. It is inconceivable
that in the next election the PresL.
dent can do anything but loss part
of his power, for the simple reason
that he has it all at present. He
can’t gain any more. Even if he
performed the political miracle of re
tainig all that he has, the perform _
ance woud be somewhat flat. Any
way you figure it, Roosevelt is
bound to lose, politically from this
time on.
“This will be tragic, however, only
in case it turns out that political
success was his Qgly success. George

5R. KOCH TO GIVE READING
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCE
This year is the 31st annversary
of Dr Frederick H. Koch's initie
reading1 of Dicken’s immortal ghosi
story, A Christmas Carol. Dr Koch
will read this popular Christmaf
story in the First Baptisl
church in Sanford, at 8 o’clock
Tuesday night, December 1st. Ii
the last 31 years he has read «
Christmas Carol to audiences al
over America. He has three times
given in the Town Hall in New York
and his fourth appearance will take
place this year Twice he has reac

try towns, and the secluded byway?
have heard him give Tinty Tims
immortal toast: ‘.God Bless us ev
eryone!” 1 ' -■
Thirty-one years ago, Dr Koch
founder and director of the famed
Carolina Playmakers at the Univei
sity of North Carolina, was a young
instructor in English at the Univei
sity of North Dakota. He happened
to re..read a Christmas Carol and
was struck with the iddea that every
body ought to read it at Christmas
time At 4he suggestion of his friends
Dr. Koch read it to a small group
gathered around a crackling fire.
His audiences grow until the large
South Dakota gymnasium was filled
to oversowing and his reading of
Dicken's story became an integral
pare oi tne unnstmas season Other
towns wished to hear him and he
journeyed through storms and bliz
zards to fill his many engagements
each Christmas time.
When he came to the University of
Nort Caroina to found the Caro
lina Playmakers, Dr. Koch continued
reading the Carol and there no
Christmas is complete without it.
The auditorium of the big memorial
hall is aways filled to overflowing.
Though reently appointed regional
director of the newly organized Fed
eral Theatre Project with jurisdic
tion over the Carolinas and Vir..
ginia he still finds time to carry
Dickens’ message of Chistmas cheer
to cities and towns in the South and
the North.
For 31 years Dr Koch has worked
toward the goal of establishment oi
a native American drama, a drama
from the very soil and roots of the
American tradition. A year ago his
achievements in this field were
awarded signal recognition wher
this old school, the University oi
North Dakota, the scene of the be
ginning of his work, called him back
to deliver the commencement address
and confer upon his honorary de
gree of Doctor of Literature and hon
orary membership in phi beta cappa

“At rand Forks, Koh was the hero,

the cases of these men, the dimin
ishing popularity of the politician
merely levealea the stature of the
statesman.
“Will it be so with Roosevelt? On
the answer to that question de
pends whether history will bracket
him with Washington, Jetierson and
Lincoln, or with Martin Van Buren,
Mark Hanna and the other superli
political manipulators of history

cause there has not yet been time
enough to put him to the test"
As a politician, President Roose.
velt can hardly be classed with Mark
Hanna, who was charged with man
ipulating politics through the use of
money, and by so doing, landed that
good man, Major William McKinley,
in the White House. We are yet to
hear of any one charging President
Roosevelt with buying his election to
the office, He did not have to do
this. The thing was bo spontaneous
that when the people went to the
polls they voted for him almost 100
per cent There is nothing in his
tory to equal it.
In pulling the country out of the
worst financial hole it has ever been
in ,will place President Roosevelt
along with the great statesmen of
America . History should place him
among them. Roosevelt is more than
a materialist. He has by going down
under the surface lifted the masses
of the people of this country out of
the “slough of despond,” and in its
place brought happiness and con
tentment No one has ever heard
this great man speak that he did not
mention the spiritual side of life.
The seCVet of his great power lies
in the fact that his sympathy is
with the “under dog”' ar the “for
gotten man** He believes in giving
therft 4 chance in life. Becoming
convinced of that fact they were not
satisfied with giving him anything
less than their loyal support

BUILDING A IGREAT CIVILIZA.
HON I^rre SOUTH. \
A remarkable lesson from what is
groin# on in the rest of the world is
brought back by Ur Edwin Mims, of
Vanderbilt University, after a year
in Europe As Dr. Clarence Poe
writes in The Progressive Farmer:
“In Germany, Italy and Russia he
finds that Hitler, Moussilini, ani
Stalin have programs wiuch have
aroused te passionate eij.nus**a»i
of the masses. Evil and uanger..
©us as we think both Racism and
Communism are ,we must neverthe
less admit that the do present pur
poseful programs — programs which I
to their followers give definiteness
and meaning to many lives that
would otherwise be drab, humdrum
and meaningless. And Dr. Mim's j
challenges the world’s two greatest
Democrats — America and England
—to fire youth here and there with
some similar enthusiasm:
“Wev’e got to find in this country,
and the English must find it, too
some substitute to create an enthusi
asm such as that found in Germany
and Russia and in Italy . It must I
be on the voluntary ibasis, but we |
must hav it. If our youth is to go
forward, if the country is to go for j
ward, we mst develop an enthusi
asm ..oout something.”
“Ail of which leads to the thought
that here in the South as
nowhere else in America, it should
now be ossible to arouse our young
people to just Buch enthusiasm.
“Now let us see what are some of
the qualities of the typical South....
emer and see what promise these
qualities offee fer a noble civilira
tion:
“I. The southerner has a fine zeet
for life and enjoys it. It iB not with
out significance that in all America
the South is the region of the high
est birthrate, the fewest suicides,
the lowest percentage of insanity. I
“2. Hospitality is one manifests . |
tion of this spirit—hospitality and
and unusual interest in faanily rela
tionships, family friendships, and
in oki home, state and country ties.
“3/ Rural sports and recreation—
for hunting, bird hunting, fishing,
racing, etc. have also played a. large
part in the Southerner’s zest for liv
ing. Music singing, dancing, good
•hosemanship have been cultivated.
In more recent years college athletics
have made a mighty appeal.
“4. Yet with it all the Southern
people have been intensely religious
with a larger percentage of church
membership than anywhere in
America.
5. Against immorality and in
temperance, however, mo6t of the
South—from the day a of the wide,
spread ante helium temperance socie
ties until now—has w«ied constant
warfare,” v

I WHICH WAY IS HOME J t\
FOR MOVING BIRDS? .
_ ■ \\
■ Axe ths birda fyling hnmp im«r
' when they go south in aututnn ? Cb
, is home where the nest is built in
! the north in spring ? There are
two opposing theories as to where
birds are really at home. ’ j
I One theory is that the ancestral
home of the birds must be the north'
em one. According to this view,'
birds used to swarm all over th^
northern hemisphere, and as the cl|j
mate offered them a year rjund'
food supply and suitable bret...ng:
conditions ,they did not roam, as sq,
many do now. They were likes
birds in the troics today, for most
tropical birds do not migrate. ,!V
But gradually an Ioe age crept
down from the Arctic bringing gla_
vial col/d and driving the birds far
ther south until they were safe In
the tropics. When the ice sheet re
treoted ; the birds tried each spring
to return to their ancestral homes
in the north, but they could only |
stay a brief time and then winter
would freeze up the home land
again. So, in time, migration be
came a habit.
The other theory, suggesting a
southern home for the birds, is sim
pler in some ways. It assumes that
the birs all had their ancestral
homes in the tropics. But that led
to over population and all the wor .
ries of congestion and food shortage
and struggle against neighbors— •
just the same with birds as with
humans. r i
-So, like human immigrants, vari_ ■
ous groups of birds took to their j
wings and moved to breeding ,
grounds where competition was less ,
keen. When they flew so far north
that they encountered ice sheets, or ;
that winter cold repelled them, the j
birds retreated south again. In
time, the mirgration became ,a-habit, j
just as the other theory presupposes. .
And yt, neither theory is «support
ed by positive biological data. One 1
fact we can be sure of. and that is (
that birds began migrating to find
their two main requinements-^-breed
ing ground And ftx>d.
inc spring- iugnt carries .fnigrac
ing birds to their breeding ground.
The autumn flight carries them to
a safe food supply. But which way,
is home to the birds is not known
and it is almost certain that the
birds don't know, either.
We sometimes if birds that spend

Three “Notable” Ladies
Miss Nell Battle Lewis, who ha*s
for some time been a contributor to
the columns of the Sunday Raleigh
News and Observer, has a most inter
sting’ article in that paper of last
Sunday giving the names of a num..
ber of “notable”' ladies in this and
other states Every one whose name
was included in the list, carries with
her name some kind of distinction.
Three of the ladies were born and
reared not many miles from Sanford.
Mrs Cornelia P. Jerman, of Raleigh,
an£ Owensboro, was a daughter of
the late Major W C Petty, who was
for years at the head of the railroad
which extends from Cameron to
Hallison. Mrs. Jerman’s grandfath
er lived at the Petty homestead near
Pocket church. Mrs. Jerman, who is
a briliant, taJented woman, moved to
Raleigh after her marriage, Where
she has made her home with her hus
band, who was engaged in the mer
cantile business. She was one of
the first women to take an active in
terest in politics in this state, af
ter the women were given the fran..
chise. She has attended and mani
fested an active interest in many of
the Democratic conventions and d&.
liberations and ably discussed prob_
lems and questions that came up for
solution. Her talent as a leader
and organizer has been recognized
by the heads of the party. She ’
now holds an important appointive
office.
Mrs. W B Jones, of Salemburg,
co founder and co_ president with
her husband of Pineland College,
Sampson county. Before her mar,,
riage to the late Frank Edwards, of.
Moore county, Mrs Jones was Miss
Mol lie Roberts, of Carbonton, Moore
(now Lee County) She is the
