Call Meeting of the Community Club To-night, Friday, at 8:00 o’clock ^ THE PILOT VOLUME NUMBER Devoted to the Upbuilding of Vass and Its Surrounding Country SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 VASS, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1922 PRICE FIVE CENTS JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS Rev Conrad Brown, of Louisville, Ky., is drawing large crowds at his revival services in the West End Presbyterian church. Rev. Billy Brown, of West End, and pastor of a group of M. E. churches, preached an excellent sermon to a large audience on Sunday morning at the Presbyterian church, in the ab sence of Rev. R. G. Matheson, who was at his West End church. R. G. Matheson, Jr., is among the recent arrivals home for their sum mer vacation. Mr. Matheson taught English in the city high school at Columbia, S. C. the past year. Among those going from here to the summer school for teachers at RockingTiam, were Misses Catherine Fleeta and Lola Thomas. Miss Lillie Thomas has secured a position in a store at Aberdeen. Miss Lenore Thomas has accepted a situation in Greensboro during the summer, before entering the State College for Women in the fall. There is great dissatisfaction over the mail service. The dailies seldom reach here until the afternoon. There should be some remedy provided. Several carloads of lumber were shipped from here last week, and more than a dozen cars will go out this week. The lumber industry is not dead, and agriculture is making rapid strides. Cotton is not tho prin cipal money crop here by any means, but several hundred bales have been shipped since the first of this year. Three carloads went out on Saturday and there will be more to go out this week. West End, Eagle Springs and Candor have shipped large amounts of cotton this winter and spring, but a large part of the cotton was hauled to Ellerbe, Rockingham, Troy, Biscoe and High Falls mills. The southern states are now manufacturing more than half its cotton crop, and we need more mills; we have abundant water power and labor is cheaper here on account of living conditions and excellent climate. The peach business is going to de- niand more track here, and the in crease in incoming freight and ex press is going to nessitate a new de pot. Why not make a move for an extension of the track, or some change so the depot and side-switches would be placed in a more desirable place. C. McColl attended the David son College commencement last week. Geo. R. Ross was in Raleigh for the State College commencement last week. E. W. Bruton expects to attend the Trinity College commencement in Durham this week, where Mr. Bruton has a nephew to graduate. Ruel McLeod and Miss Margaret ^IcDonald are attending the young people’s convention at Davidson Col lege this week. # * * The Season’s Opening The Jackson Springs Hotel held its annual summer opening Saturday, KNOW NORTH CAROLINA In the Sandhills The great asset of the Sandhills is the climate. This per mits a wide variety of farming, and particularly the production of peaches, of which in quality the Sandhill country excels proba bly any other area on earth, while in quantity the output is al ready large and growing so fast that 1922 will see 1,500 carloads sent to market. The peach orchard is an opportunity in the Sandhills. So is the tobacco farm, for the Sandhills bright leaf brings a premium. Cotton, grain and general farming respond to the stimulation of the climate and the light soil, while produce and poultry bring the farmer much money from the winter resort towns of the region. But it is the winter visitor and winter home-maker of the Sandhills that gives the greatest activity to this section of the state. Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Knollwood, Lakeview and other resort-towns are the product of the climate, and it is likely that in a few years the area embraced in the boundaries of these vil lages will widen into one big community of perhaps more people than in any other single community of the state. Pinehurst is al ready the foremost golf center of the United States, and thousands of people are attracted to the Sandhills in the winter from all the states, and even from abroad. This is developing a busy activity in all the lines that go to make up a populous center. The opportunities found in such a place are the opportunities found in every center of many people. Skilled workers, pro fessional and business men, clerks and superintendents, farmers, orchard and livestock men, almost every occupation, is called on for help in the Sandhills. Opportunities for the individual who will build for himself a business are on all sides, depending largely on the man himself, for where there are thousands of people as in the Sandhills, and a large proportion of them people of means, money awaits production or service in practically every line. It is a reasonable guess that a few years will see in the Sandhills a permanent population of probably 50,000. The building of such a community, the expansion of farms and or chards, and the sundry functions that go with all these tell plainly enough of opportunity. Opportunity in the Sandhills is limited exactly by the ability of the man looking for the opportunity.—Bion H. Butler in Uni versity News Letter. with a dance at the pavillion on that night. Music was furnished by the Original Virginia Serenaders; this or chestra is composed of native Rich mond boys who play the piano, two violins, two saxophones and drums. They have studied music under Prof. Cosby at the Richmond Conservatory and at the Dayton Conservatory, the home of Hilderbrand and Ruebush, who are pleasantly remembered here, having taught singing schools here, and nave composed a number of sacred songs. Visitors praise the music highly, and it is expected the large crowds will continue to come throughout the season. Rowdyism will not be tolerated here this season, and one or more officers will be on hand dance nights to keep order. There was a large number of ar rivals at the hotel the past week, and the prospects look good for not only the hotel but the famous Johnson and Markham houses.

Or at least one would not know that thousands of miners are now idle if he had to get his information through the ordinary channels of conversation. And yet, the struggle between miners and operators is in full swing, with more men idle now than at any one time in the entire history of coal mining. For several months this country is not going to need a great amount of coal, as compared with its demand in fall and winter months. At present the production of non-union mines is greater than the demand. How great this surplus will be when the first frost comes no one can tell. And it is not until then that the real fight between strikers and operators will be felt. Attempts to boost the present price of coal by using the strike as an excuse are, therefore, another form of profiteering, and Uncle Sam could do no better thing than protect the man who wants to put in his coal early by seeing that he is not gouged.
