PINEHURST OUTLOOK
maining timbers. The advance of the
Scotch was led by the company of clay
more men with their great swords upon
their shoulders and with their targets or
shields in their left hands. They ad
vanced to the thrilling music of the bag
pipes, which resounded far through the
pine forests, but as they attempted to
cross the narrow timbers of the bridge
they had to face a withering fire from
the squirrel rifles of the Americans, ex
pert marksmen all, while one or two
small cannons dealt death among them.
The Scotch were shot and drowned and
a great many were captured, in fact the
brigade was almost completely put out of
action, McDonald himself being captured
as well as the colors, the baggage and
nearly all the arms. Sad indeed was the
straggling town of Cross Creek when the
almost breathless messengers arrived
with the news of the disaster, and the
fair Flora hastened to see her husband.
Many courtesies were shown her by
the loyalists, who indeed treated their
captives with much consideration and no
cruelty. McDonald said very frankly
that he and his people had taken up arms
because they felt bound by the very
strict oaths they had taken to support
the home government and they impress
ed the Americans by their attitude, so
much so in fact that McDonald was al
lowed to return to Scotland with his wife
and such of the Scotch as desired to go
with them. The majority of the Scotch
decided to remain in their new homes
and no men have proved more devoted
citizens in every way than they. In the
AVar of 1812 they were with the loyalists
and in the War with Mexico they also
took part, while in the Civil War there
were companies from the Scotch settle
ments, the names of which looked like
the roll of Scotch troops in the old
country.
In the hall of history at Raleigh are
pictures of Flora McDonald and Prince
Charlie which were obtained from Mr.
Price Thomas of Fayetteville, a descend
ant of the McDonalds. "Bonnie Prince
Charlie" was really not bonnie at all.
lie was a false jewel,with no real worth,
only glitter, and never did woman waste
her efforts on a greater ne'er-do-weel
than he was.
Another picture shows the quaint
house which stands upon the site of
Flora McDonald's home. This house
which was formerly the residence of
James C. Dobbin, one of the most bril
liant Secretaries of the Navy this coun
try has ever had, rises from the very
water's edge and is covered with a mass
of English ivy.

Mr. Allen Knjoyes CJolf at Seventy
Among interesting recent golf records
were an eighty-six and a ninety made
on number one course,, and a ninety
three and ninety-four on number two, by
Samuel L. Allen of Philadelphia, who at
approaching seventy years of age, still
finds the game his favorite recreation.
Mr. Allen believes that the compara
tive scores illustrate the difference of the
two courses concerning which opinions
vary. Personally he regards the "new"
course three or four strokes harder than
the "old."

IIa "Mac'' Hone You ?
"Mac" continues to delight the Vil
lagers with his inimitable caricatures,
one of which we reproduce this week.
If he hasn't "done" you get into line or
you're not in the "swim."
You'll know him by the pipe and the
sad expression of his brown eyes, eyes
ever on the lookout for bouquets from
admiring sitters.
Not even the fairer sex are exempt
this year.
