Things move mighty fast around Pine
hurst just now, and it is apparent that
the summer is to be one of the most
active in the whole Sandhill area that
has ever been known. New building is
scheduled in all directions, and all of
it a type that is in line with the further
expansion of the entire community of
which Pinehurst is the conspicuous center.
The people who wondered how this sec
tion would come through the winter just
closed are reassured beyond any per
adventure, for this has been the best
season in many respects that the Sand
hills has known, and particularly in those
features that tell of the future.
The interest in orchard investment,
around Pinehurst has taken a stronger
turn than at any time in the past. In
the same way the acquisition of building
sites and locations for investment has
taken the form of a business instead of a
venture. It is pretty well recognized
that the country was financially skating
on thin ice during the past year. If
ever a slacking up of business at the
winter resorts was to be expected the
time is that through which we have just
passed. At many other places the
financial depression has been felt, but in
the Pinehurst section a new record of
visitors has been made, and with it a
new record of interest in the various
things that are offered here for the en
tertainment of the visitors.
One of the most remarkable results of
this making of new records is the atten
tion the world is giving. On March 31,
while various events of nation-wide in
terest were on polo, golf, target work,
etc., many newspapers had special cor
respondents at Pinehurst, and on that
day the telegraph wires carried over
25,000 words of press stuff from them,
in addition to that forwarded by the
regular newspaper men who cover Pine
hurst all the time. The entire volume
of matter sent out by telegraph on that
date to the various papers, North, South,
East and West, would make about 50
columns in the ordinary morning paper.
The big papers of the country were gen
erously represented, and Pinehurst was in
the headlines in every big town on at
least the eastern side of the continent,
and in much of the rest.
All of this material is sent out by
wire because people want to know what
is going on in the games at Pinehurst,
and the newspapers send their represent
atives to Pinehurst to secure and forward
the information. It follows that such
a vast amount of telegraphic news
further widens the acquaintance Pine
hurst is making everywhere, and that ac
quaintance leads up to a larger number
of visitors and that is followed by inter
est in local matters and the purchase of
locations for new winter homes.
When Francis Deaton two or three
weeks ago opened the new lot plan north
of the Carolina the prophets were satis
fied that it would not be long until a
movement in that direction would begin.
Last week Mr. Emery sold sites to John
Scott and Thomas Veno in that new sec
tion, and they will begin as soon as
possible to 'build houses. This looks like
a start on a, forward step that will
gather force all summer long, and which
will be in line with the same influence all
over Pinehurst. Aymar Embury was
down from New York in the last few
days and he has taken hold of the scheme
of making a commercial center in the
plot that will be opened between Dog
wood road and Magnolia road, and will
have some plans to submit shortly for
what promises to be as unique as any of
the rest of the Embury creations in this
neighborhood.
While the home-making effort in a col
lective way will probably focus in that
area north of the Carolina the general
distribution of big jobs all over Pine
hurst this summer is striking. The club
house will employ an army of hands out
on the golf course. The theatre will be
another center in the heart of the village,
and the schoolhouse to the eastward will
be a further piece of work that will be
in itself a lively neighborhood while the
work is going on. The new printing
office and the new commercial buildings
will emphasize their particular sections,
and the private houses in all directions
will make a filling for industry that will
give a balanced air to it. Then with
this is the building that is about to start
north of the Carolina and that promises
to add several projects to those in that
quarter that are already planned. Pine
hurst has had several years of lively
building but not many where so many
buildings and so many expensive ones
were contemplated so early in the year
as is the case nowr. Neither has . Pine
hurst ever had the same number of peo
ple looking with the same interest on the
investment and permanent ownership fea
ture of possession here as now. Money
is easier all over the United States. A
great deal of the uncertainty has lifted,
and Pinehurst has crossed over into a
fixed personal relationship with more of
its visitors this year than it ever had.
Instead of being looked on as occasional
incident Pinehurst, this winter, is re
garded as a home prospect. The winter
has shown that any doubt felt last win
ter was wholly groundless, and that with
the financial crisis in the country passed
the future at Pinehurst is one of immedi
ate and swift advancement.
