A IEW GOLF MAGAZI1IE
The Golf Kent of 3ew England
Promlifi Well
Another golf magazine that promises
to cover the field in New England and
to keep up the Puritans ' interest in the
great game has entered the field. The
first number of the Golf News, New
England, has been received. Robert E.
Harlow is president and treasurer, N. P.
Winchell, Jr., business manager and
Arthur G. Lockwood the Boston repre
sentative. It is to be published weekly in
Worcester.
Thia first issue has a forecast of the
Massachusetts Amateur Championship
which gives the preference to old stand
bys on the Pinehurst links. It sounds
almost as though the Grand Old Com
monwealth had borrowed a few of the
popular entries from the United to make
a golfing holiday. The line up includes
Jesse Guilford, Chick Evans and Parker
W. Whittemore, headliners of the Sand
hills. The article goes on to say:
"Who is going to be the Massachu
setts amateur champion this year? Take
plenty of guesses, and then pass.
' ' But it will not take much of a guess .
to foretell the titlelist will be a brand
new one. Figuring on the limit of all
possible entries, only two past champions
will .be in the field: Percy Gilbert and
Arthur Lockwood.
"Frank Ouimet has taken care of this
title the last three years, winning at Wol-
laston, Brae Burn and Woodland. The
year before he was runner-up to Heinie
Schmidt at Brae Burn, while in 1911 it
was John Anderson who walked away
with the big gold melal at Essex. Heinie
Stucklin was the winner of the 1910 Brae
Burn meet. Tom Fuller won at Wollas
ton in '08, Anderson at Woodland in '07,
and Andrew Carnegie, 2nd, at Essex in '04.
"All these will be missing in 1916.
Everybody knows about Ouimet, Schmidt
it out West, Anderson and Stucklin are
in New York, Fuller is a professional,
while Carnegie has retired. To repeat,
this leaves only Gilbert and Lockwood,
the former winning at Oakley in '09,
while the Englishman cleaned up in '03,
'05 and '06. But as both gave but little
time to the game, small indeed, are their
chances of winning again.
"Jesse Guilford, if he isn't blocked
for some reason, will be the favorite.
But Jesse will not have any soft parade.
Ray Gordon, Parker Whittemore, Bill
Chick, Sam Sterne and a few others have
been ov- for this title for years and the
big hitters will have a warm session with
any of them.
Dewlierrtei
The Sandhill section practically has a
monopoly of the dewberry business of the
United States. The volume and value of
this crop has never been appreciated even
by the old residents of the section, and
is neglected entirely by the discussions
of those guests of the village who are
interested in the posibilities of the neigh
borhood, and by the newly arrived plan
tation owners from the North.
Reports this year show the amazing
fact that no less than 243 cars of these
berries were shipped from the Sandhill
belt last year. Much is made of the
peach industry. And rightly. But the
astonishing thing is that this berry busi
ness was not only three or four time as
great in volume as the peach shipments,
but actually there were twice as many
cars of berries shiped from this section
alone as there were peaches shipped from
the entire State of North Carolina.
Properly done there is a very good
profit to be made on them. Personally
we know of cases where expert growers
have netted on a large plant over fifty
dollars an acre.
Kir. Alfred C. Ilunter
of the staff of the London Graphic has
been spending the last- two weeks in the
village and making a close study of the
surrounding country. It is apparent from
even a casual discussion with him that
he believes we have so far made very
little out of our opportunities, particu
larly with regard to utilizing the natural
beauties of the landscape. The innum
erable clear streams, the wealth of flow
ering shrubs and ornamental coniferous
trees abounding on their banks make it
possible for us to develop lakes and ponds
and fountains, to plant our roads and
our hedge rows, -and render every farm
and plantation as beautiful, shady and
attractive as Pinehurst or Lakeview, with
the least possible trouble. We have the
same native material for making pictur
esque, unique and beauiful surroundings
at practically no cost that we have of
making excellent roads for a song.
Suffragette
Saturday last rolled into town with the
morning paper and the milk man the
most unique petrol wagon seen in the
Sandhills this Winter. Like the tri
umphant chariot of Caesar, blazing gold
garlanded with flowers and adorned with
trophies, and occupied by youth and beau
ty it came to see and to conquor. It was
the advance guard of the invading army
of suffragettes, a scouting party sent
from the headquarters of General Cary
Chapman Catt to outline a campaign for
women's rights and privileges in the
South. Miss Alice Snitcher Burke and
Miss Nell Richardson manned the expe
dition, capturing the town in the ' ' Golden
Flyer."
Whatever a fellow has to think or say
about the divine rights of women, this
much is sure. It would add beauty and
variety as well as color and interest to
our ordinary howling political campaigns
if the candidates all were required or
were inclined to travel in golden flyers
garlanded with flowers.
