nHttee Reports — Would The Pro
pboed Gas Line Touch Sanford7
Establishment of a pipe Line from
one of North Carolina's porta to
the! deep water interior of the state,
pumping* gasoline at a cost of a half
a cent . per gallon—one fourth the
present freight rates—was envision
ed last1 week by Rpreoentative Oscar
G Barker of Durham, chairman of
the State Gasoline Terminal Commis
A toll by Barkter to grant the
rig-fit of eminent domain for pipe
lirois, as for telephone and power
lines was appoved without argu
ment by the House Committee on
Pu^Uc Utilities and sent to the
flo^r and a vote.
to Representative George Uzzell,
of |Rowan, Barker admitted that a
pine line might affect motor track
ing! interests. which now transport
the bulk of North Carolina's gaso
line supply from the coast to interi
or [points. As for the railroads,
said Barker they are complaining
now that freight rates on gasoline
ard lower than actual cost.
$ne company already has survey
ed • the possibilities of a line from
Fajyetteville on the Cape Fear river
to ,Winston Salem, a distance of 100 j
mijes on a straight lina. A pipe!
line is not an immediate prospect,;
Barker stated, but he predicted one!
wljhin a short time His bill would j
it a private company to obtain
its of way for a line.
rouId the proposed gas pipe line
;h Sanford? This town is in
iratty direct line between Fayette
ville and Wins ton.. .Salem It might
mftan much to the town and section
were this gas line to touch here.
PogKBibfy a gas station would be built
hefo for the distribution of gas. It
wckdd mean cheaper ga& Thous—
aims cif gallons of gas are hauled
f^m^ Wilmington through. Sanford
to|winston.. Salem and other towns
in|4he western part of the state by;
trick every week It certainly
wflhald save much wear and tear on
thi Boone Trail.
For the size of the town Sanford
probably handies as much gas and
r>4 any town in the state The
to&m well supplied with garages
arid filling stations and in the course
a year handles an immense
amount of gas It would probably
htktdle more were it connected up
wfch a pipe line. The gas would be
bxjbught up to Fayetteville by water,
which is cheaper that shipped by
or truck and piped] to the-west
part of the state.

Will This Be
An April Fool?
ft is now claimed by those who
have 'charge of ythe' construction
work that Sanford's new postoffice
wiir be ready for occupancy by the
first of April. It has been suggest
ed that this will turn out to be an
April fool, and that it will be some
time before the new postoffice will
be ready to be turned over to Mrs.
Scott and her force of clerks by
Uncle Sam.
The walls and roof were compl^t
ed weeks ago and the construction
force have been at work for some
time on the irtberion Everything is
going to be. modem and up to date.
A large fireproof vault for storing
all valuables baa been constructed
in the building The furniture and
fixtures have been cut and number
ed to fit the various rooms and sec
tions of the building Perhaps
many of the patrons of the office
will be glad to learn that keys in
stead of combinations will be used
for the mail boxes. This will save
many a cuss word of people who ex
perience trouble in working the com
binatioira of their boxes Many of
the patrons of the office have learn
ed to cuss by] using the combination
and they contend Uncle Sam will be
responsible Bhould they land in a hot
climate.
The furniture and fixtures in the
old office are owned by Mra J R
Bowers, who also owns the building,
which has been rented to the govern
ment for a number otf years as a
postoffice. The furniture and fix
tures in the new building are owned
ed by the government. The post
office has to be of certain specifica
tions or it will not be accepted by
the government. Some alterations
had to be made about the building
while the construction work was be
ing done. The postotffice makes a
more imposing appearance than
many thought a single building would
mak« It is one of the neatest and
mbst attractive buildings in Sanford
The people of Sanfofcd may feel sure
that it is well constructed in every
department. It must come up to
specifications to be accepted by the
government
"Asks Power To
Increase High Court
Surprise Message To Congress Asks
Sweeping ^organisation.
President Roosevelt in a surprise
message Friday recommended a
sweeping reorganization of Federal
court machnery, including an in
crease in judgeships of the supreme
and lower courts and a method of
speeding high court dcisions on con
stitutional questions.
In a tentative draft of a bill ac
companying the message the Presi.J
dent would be given the power to
increase the supreme court by a
maximum of six justices to fifteen,
and the lower courts by two memJ
bers each unless judges over seventy!
retired.
Four Recommendations
“These proposals do not raise any
issue ctf constitutional law“ the
President said listing' four specific
recommendations as follows:
1— -Power for the President to
nominate an additional judge in any
court when an incumbent has reach
ed the age of 70 has neither resign
ed or retired. ^
2— Power for the Supreme Court
to appoint an administrative assist..
ant or “proctor44 to watch lower
court calendars and permit the chief
justice to assign ristrict and circuit
judges temporarily to areas where
the dockets are congested.
3— Provision that no decision, In
junction, judgment or decree on any
constitutional question be promulgat
ed by any Federal Court without pre
vious and ample notice to the attor
ney general of the United States
have an opportunity for the United
States to present evidence and be
heard.
b—Provision that when any infer!
or court determines a question of
constitutionalty, th$re shall be a
drect and ammediate appeal te the
Supreme Court and that such cases
take precedence over all other mat
' ters pending in that court.

Another Large g
Sale of Poultry
f
The fanners of Lee county made
another large sale of poultry} here
last Saturday 107 farmers sold
4,868 pounds which brought $712.12
Robert H Smith received the largest
check when he sold 183 pounds of
leghorns for $20.13 Mrs Ralph Fou
she received the smallest check
when she sold 6 pounds of stags for
66 cnts It seems that the stags
cut a poor figure when it, comes to
playing their part in the poultry
sale.
It seems that the poultry business
is seriously interferred with by the
high pice of feed stuffs, tii prices
of poultry will not justify the prices
of feed stuffs. If the farmers could
raise poultry with grain and other
things raised on their farms they
could probably make a profit at the
present price of poultry. When
they have to buy all the chicken feed
it is an up.hill businsa
Poultrymen at State College are
figuring on six chickens for every
pot and approximately twenty dozer
eggs for the frying pan of every
North Carolinian during 1937. They
estimate that twenty* million chick.
ens will be started in the state thie
year That ought to provide fried
chickens and fresh eggs for a lot oi
us.
If the extension specialists at
State College manage to increase the
volume of poultry products to ^any
thing like the production that ought
to be coming from this state, they
will have accomplished something
worth while.
