Of course, it is still in the experimental stage, but the results so far would indicate that there is a good chance of the Vass market^s be coming a real asset to the county. W. B. Graham, one of the leading business men of the community, re cently opened a feed sales place in the large brick building formerly oc cupied by Beasley Motoi Company. It later occurred to him that it would be a mighty fine thing for the far mers and also for the town if he could establish in connection with his feed business a produce exchange or market to which the farmers could bring their surplus peas, chicken, and other farm produce and exchange it for some of the commercial feeds carried in stock or, if they were real “live at home” farmers and grew everything needed, exchange for cash. So, having plenty of room for taking cr.re of any reasonable quantity of produce, Mr. Graham launched on the new" project. First, he took in several bushels of peas which he obtained from a far- FIVE CENTS^ Southern Pines Baptists To Have New Building When completed the above structure will not only provide plenty of room for the growing work of this congregation, but will add one more to the number of well-designed and beautiful build ings of the Sandhills.

O’CALLaghan and HEALY NOMINATED POST CAMMANDER Commissioner^ ropose That Ninor Civil Cases Be Tried in Recorders Court * Approval Expected Sentiment Appears to Favor Giving Civil Jurisdiction to Recorder’s Court Serious Attempt Is Being Made to Reduce Superior Court Ex pense in County NO ACTION ON McLEAN American tegion in Sandhills To Elect New Officers at Tueisday Meeting N. C. CONVENTION JULY 24 A subject has come up before the County Commissioners which has to do with economy on a broad scale and as well to expedite the work of the courts. At the meeting on Monday the matter was presented, and it found such favor that a petition will probably await the next meeting ask ing the adopton of the project. The County Board of Commission ers of Moore County are authorized under the law to confer upon the Re corder’s Court of Moore County civil jurisdiction in all actions founded on contract (such as notes, accounts, etc.) up to $1,000 and in all actions for damages and the like up to $500. If the Commissioners should take this action Judge Humber could then hear all such cases in his court, setting apart a day each week, or so much time as might be necessary, for the hearing and determination of those cases in which he has jurisdiction. The law provides that in this court, unless a pistol with intent to kill. McCain will be considered waived and a leading lawyer thinks that most lit igants will be wiling for the cases to be heard before Judge Humber, a jury trial is demanded, the same Mr. Graham to get in touch with other farmers to let them know that he W’as in a position to help them dispose of their produce, and the business has been steadily growing. Indications are that the farmers of this county will reap a harvest of many dollars which, without the mar ket, would never come to them. Any- ! wing as the first task to be under- Bragg Commander Assures Brig.-Gen. McClosky Addresses Kiwanis one knows that it is expensive to market a small amount of produce. As a rule, farmers are busy people, and they can not afford to leave home with a small supply of vegetables or poultry and peddle it out unless they taken, and at a later period to carry out the final project as the architect’s picture represents.

The person in j as the plans provide for that pi charge of the market can combine the pect in every way. Definite plans have not been made yet as to the detail of construction, which will be taken up by the church goods bought from the various far mers, follow a careful system of grad ing, and sell to advantage to the lar ger markets. It is' much easier for one man in town to keep in touch with the city markets and sell profitably than for the individual farmers to- do so. The produce market will also ben efit the local buyers. Mrs. A. would like to have a chicken for Sunday dinner, but she does not know who has them for sale and she does not care to run all over the country look ing for one. She buys something else which perhaps she does not really want. If she knew that there was a market where she would be sure to find what she wanted, she would go there. The same holds true with num erous other articles, ^he consumer spends cash for produce shipped in from other states while perhaps what he really wants is on a Moore county farm with supposedly no market for seller and buyer together, for the it. The produce market will bring the alert produce man will be able to keep posted as to the supply and de mand. The opinion is that Mr. Graham is doing a worth while thing for the farmers and also for the town, for whatevei helps the farmer will bene fit every merchant in the town. Any thing that aids the farmer in getting money out of what he has to sell will stimulate business, for if he comes to town and sells somebthing, he Is pretty sure to buy something before he starts home. Hearers That Artillery Post Will Be Enlarged Brigadier General Manus McClos ky, commanding officer of Fort Bragg, in an address before the Ki wanis Club in Pinehurst Wednesday told of his experience since graduat ing from West Point in 1896, and the at Fort Bragg. The General said that he had been in the service on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and was located for a while at Manila. The Nominating Committee appoint ed at the recent meeting of the Sand hill Post, American Legion to nomi nate candidates for 1932 officers in order that they might be elected be fore the State convention July 26th has submitted the following nomina tions: Commatnder, J. V. Healy^ L. V. O’Callaghan; 1st Vice-Commander, S, Moore County’s Board of County Commissioners, five in number, met in regular session on last Monday in Carthage for the purpose of trans acting the business of their office, and adjourned to meet again on next Monday for a further consideration of some of the matters coming before them. The commissioners, as a part of their economy program, are serious ly considering ways and means of bringing about a reduction in the Su perior court expense. Last year the county budgeted $3,000 for court ex penses, weheras the actual cost was $5,000. At their meeting on Monday they discussed the advisability of having a civil court presided over by the judge of the Recorder’s cour*;, giv ing this Judge jurisdiction over all civil cases involving up to a thousand dollars. This, it is thought, would weed out many of the trivial cases which take up the time of the Super ior court and thus bring about a tremendous reduction 'in the court cost to the county. • The commission's are very much in earnest about this matter of cut- as is customary in the trial of the i ting expenses, yet they wish to do criminal cases before him at present. Too, this court will have jurisdiction to hear appeals from the courts, of the Justice of the Peace, and there are many of those that reach the Su perior Court. Fully one-half of the cases that now are tried in the Superior Court could then be tried in the Recorder’s Court, with a resultant saving to the taxpayers of Moore County of thous ands of dollars in money and a far more speedy dispensation of justice.

The cost of the wing to be built first will be about $25,000. It fs not yet definitely decided wheth er stone or brick will be used, but stone is favored. Attractive prices have been made on native stone for the purpose, Moore county having much excellent building material available. The price of brick is also favorable now, which may have an influence toward brick as the choice of supply.

The Legion convention starts Sun- at Morehead times a day or more is taken in the trial of some appeal from a Justice Court where the amount involved will not exceed $50. In addition to the saving to the county, the vast saving in time to witnesses and otjiers interested would be enormous. Now when a witness goes to court he is not sure the case will come up, for much postponement of cases is the practice, and witnesses may have to go to Carthage time af ter time before the case they are con cerned in is disposed of.

Action on this matter was deferred to August 1. No action was taken in regard to the election of a tax collector, as the year’s work for this officer is suppos ed to begin in October. However, a number of applications were in the hands of the Board, with salary range of from $1,200 to $2,000 a year. A delegation from Hemp was pres ent, asking that the county supple ment the salary of an officer for the tow^n. No action was taken on this matter.
