Practical Correspondence School of 6olf 58-60 West Washington Street CHICAGO BRILLIANT FUTURE FOR -PINEHURST and SAND HILLS Bion H. Butler Sometimes it is as diverting to dream of the future as it is to look over the present or recall the past. The develop ment of Pinehurst and the surrounding region of which Pinehurst is the active and influential center has been remark able, but it is not hard to imagine that the twenty-five years ahead of this terri tory is to be more striking than the twenty-five years that has elapsed since James W. Tufts commenced the work that is now so vigorously under way. When Pinehurst started the United States had about 68,000,000 people. The population now is about seventy per cent greater. The new Pinehurst has almost three-fourths more people to draw from in the work it is to carry out in the com ing quarter of a century than it had at the beginning of that quarter century that has gone. That in itself is a great thing, but the increased population has much greater increase in wealth, which is one of the factors that go to make a winter resort a success. While the num ber of people in the United States has increased by seventy per cent the num ber who have reached the place where they have money enough to winter in a mild climate, or to have a winter home in the warmer parts of the country, has in creased vastly more than the total of pop ulation. When Pinehurst was started the transportation facilities for reaching this section included one through train daily on the Seaboard, and one mixed train that carried passengers in the ca- boosie. Now travelers come in automo biles in greater numbers than the trains could handle in the early days, and the trains are so many that it is necessary to consult the change in schedule from time to time to knoAV how many bring visitors to Pinehurst in the winter season. Good roads and multiplying automo biles will bring still greater numbers of people every year as people continue to multiply and as wealth continues to in crease and the people come to know more about the Sandhill country of North Carolina. Besides this the attractive in dustries like peach culture, which is inter esting to many visitors, and with such possibilities of profit along with an occupation that is fascinating as well as profitable, furnish further incentive to secure a location in this unique community of excellent neighbors and cosmopolitan texture. The Pinehurst of today is a right creditable achievement, but it is no more the finished article than the Pinehurst of ten years ago or fifteen or five years ago was. Each year shows the plain evidence of this fact for each year pushes ahead farther than its predecessor, and with just as wide a new horizon in its expansion.. For instance, the orchard de velopment which centers about Pinehurst finds that this year it has just reached the point from which it is to start on new big things that three or four years it had not conceived possible. It is now so plain that everybody can see it that here on the hills about Pinehurst is to be an orchard region as unique as Pinehurst is unique as a village. The orchard men of the Sandhills belt, which is that territory surrounding Pinehurst, inoludo some of the strongest names in American activity, and in all lines. Some of the foremost business men of New York, and other northern financial capitals, are conspicuous a? peach growers in a few miles of the Carolina. Doctors, lawyers, authors, merchants, priests, have their fingers in the orchards, and find much en joyment as well as profit in the occupa tion. They are holding the fruit up to a high standard, and they will keep the Sandhills peach. on a plane that means excellence because they are satisfied with nothing that is not of high quality. The Berkshire hog has arrived on a high plane at Pinehurst, and here is an influ ence that is calling the attention of Berk shire men from "all over the country. This is another lead that is fixing Pinehurst in public mind, for raising high types of live stock is becoming a favored occupa tion of practical men and of men of means as a diversion. It is a stable work, for the food .supply of the world is get ting to be a problem, and the hog can be raised and turned into meat without pass ing through a winter. lie is the solu tion of the meat problem as the call for food groAvs more pronounced, and Pine hurst is tied up with the development of one of the finest breeds, and on a conspic uous scale. It is the same way with Ayrshire cattle. The milk cow is another of the features of the pressing and in creasing food problem. Pinehurst has become an Ayrshire rallying ground and here Ayrshire men with the exhibition and sale stock make their annual pilgrim ages, and Pinehurst is becoming one of the Ayrshire distributing and gathering points. The doctors hold their conventions at Pinehurst and the bankers and the law yers, and football teams are beginning to head this way, and the tournaments of the golf clubs and the gun clubs and sports of that character are already es tablished, but are getting on a broader footing every season. So much for some of the influences. Now it is easy to see where they are pointing. Already Knollwood, the Mid Pines club, the expansion at Southern Pines, the beginning development at the Midlands farms, and things of this char acter indicate that out from Pinehurst has reached a force that is about to gather in about all the intervening region into a big continuous community extend ing from Southern Pines and Manly to and beyond Pinehurst on the west, and this stretch of country will be filled with homes of the most delightful character, and orchards and other high-class agri cultural development that will be pic turesque as well as profitable. It is realized, now that Pinehurst is an evolu tion that grows through its own forces. The increasing number of visitors go away to tell of the attractions they find at Pinehurst and new people come to en joy and appreciate. They make new homes for themselves, and so the move ment expands in geometric ration. Each year runs past the preceding one. As it must be that way in the future, the pre diction that this community will in the course of some years be the most pop (Continued on Page 12)
