C., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1922 PRICE FIVE CENTS COTTON GROWERS’ CO-OPERA TIVE ASSOCIATION RALEIGH, July 20.—Announcement of the approval of the application of the North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Association for a loan of ten million dollars to finance the orderly market ing of this season’s crop has been made by the War Finance Corpora tion. The announcement was made fol lowing a visit to Washington by a delegation from the North Carolina association, which was headed by W. H. Austin, of Smithfield, president of the Association, who was accompanied by Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of the North Carolina Agricultural Exten sion Service, and former Congress man Lee D. Robinson, a director in the Association, of Wadesboro. A. Wilton McLean, of Lumberton, a former member of the War Finance Corporation, who recently retired af ter rendering distinguished service, accompanied the Tar Heels to Wash ington and aided in presenting the claims of the North Carolina farmers. The War Finance Corporation will make advances on the cotton of the 27.000 members of the Association up to fifty per cent of its value through local banks, which will provide for the remainder of the advance on the cotton. It is not expected that it will require all of the ten million dol lars, as local banks will be in a po sition to take care of a large part of the loans needed to finance the orderly selling of this year’s crop. The North Carolina Association is putting on a sign-up campaign for the first two weeks in August, which is expected to result in bringing the total number of bales of cotton rep resented in the Association up to 600.000 bales. The Association is rapidly perfecting plans for handling the cotton of its members in an order ly way this fall. PINEHURST NEWS PEACH SHOW AT HAMLET MERCANTILE COMPANY HAMLET, July 20.—Just five days from today, Tuesday, July 25th, the Second Aiinual Carolinas Sandhills Peach Show will be held in Hamlet. A most interesting educational pro gram is arranged. Prominent ex perts and authorities will speak on “Orchard Development,” “Building and Maintenance Cost of Orchards,” “Markets and Marketing,” “Conserva tion of By-Products.” Demonstra tion in canning and preserving will be made during the day under the direction of Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, State Home Demonstration Agent. The Open Air Peach Harvest Festi val on the evening of the 25th, will bring together the young folks, the old folks, the frolicsome and many PEACH CELEBRITES and Peach Queens. The Band Concert, Peach Pi^ Eating contest, Ye Old Time Square Dance, the heavy bombastic and the Melon and Peach Feast for all will make a gladsome occasion. Preparations are being made to en tertain five thousand visitors during the day and evening. The big ex hibit tent, housing the luscious RED SKIN peaches will be lighted during the evening. A tour through the peach orchards will be conducted on the 26th, leaving the Peach Show tent at 9 A. M. This tour will visit orchards in every stage of development from uncleared land to the full bearing trees. Demonstra tions of modern machinery and methods will be given in orchards and every appliance for handling fruit to the best advantage will be shown. The Sandhill Cannery at Marston and the preserving plant at Vina Vista will be visited ^pd the headquarters of the Sandhill Fruit Growers Associ ation at Aberdeen will be included in the trip. The American Legion is planning the inauguration of a custom which bids fair to become one of the great institutions of the Sandhills. In the Spring of 1923, during the height of the peach blossom season, they will hold a BLOSSOM CARNIVAL at PinehUrst. Committees are now be ing selected to take charge of the work and the idea is to develop a permanent organization similar to the Los Angeles “Rose Parade,” the New Orleans “Mardi Gras,” and other in ternationally famous festivals. While nothing definite has been decided as to details, the following has been suggested: Elect a King, Queen and Court; hold a Court scene, with pa rade, etc., probably at the Pinehurst Fair Grounds, although the Legion is desirous of having the benefit of an orchard background for this. Serve a barbecue and engage several promi nent speakers for the occasion. In the evening, give a Blossom Ball at the Pinehurst Country Club, over which the King, Queen and Court would preside. This matter has been discussed with many prominent business men in this section, and all are of the opinion that it will accomplish a great deal in the way of attracting outsiders to our section, as well as creating great interest among our immediate neigh bors in the further development of this great fruit belt. The beauty of our peach orchards in the Spring is not exceeded by that of the cherry trees of Japan in blos som time, and the American Legion ever awake to the wonderful possibili ties afforded by our section, should have the hearty co-operation of every one in the Sandhills in their effort to establish this celebration as an annual event, as the good which would result from it cannot be over esti mated. ]|c ]|c i|e The annual picnic of the Pinehurst Sunday School was held at Lakeview on Wednesday, July 12. Several trucks, and a long train of cars, were required to transport the large num ber attending. Ring games, baseball, swimming, races, and other forms of recreation were enjoyed throughout the day, and the large variety of events planned enabled all to partici pate in something. All were on hand at the dinner hour and the festive boards groaned under the weight of the good things to eat the ladies had prepared for the occasion. During the afternoon the Pinehurst boys crossed bats with the Boy Scouts of Hamlet and took them into camp to the tune of 12 to 8. All report hav ing had a jolly time and are look ing forward to the next one with very keen anticipation. * ♦ ♦ Scoutmaster J. Bruce Cameron is in receipt of a letter from the Presi dent of the Boy Scout Council of Col umbia, S. C., stating that on Mon day, July 17, a party of Boy Scouts will leave Columbia for a bicycle hike to Washington, D. C., where they will deliver a message from their Governor to the President. A Scout master will be in charge and the troup expects to reach Pinehurst sometime Thursday. Plans are be ing made for their entertainment while here, and the Pinehurst boys are very eager to meet their brothers from Columbia, three of whom the letter states are Eagles. ♦ ♦ ♦ The suggestion that an organiza tion be formed in Moore county to aid in stamping out what remains of the liquor traffic has struck a very responsive chord among the law abid ing element, and they are hoping the suggestion will be carried out with (Continued on page 10) CAMERON NEWS Mrs. Jewel Hemphill is the guest of Miss May Jones at her home in Fayetteville.

Dear Sirs:—In looking over the sanitary conditions of your town in Dec. 1921 and July 1922, I find them to be very good. The privies were properly constructed with exceptions of a few that did not have self clos ing lids, which are very important yet inexpensive. The main object is to exclude flies at all times from the contents of the privy. We want the people in other towns in the state of North Carolina to see as you people do, the point of sani tation and its results. The mayor of your town feels like Vass does not have a single person in the town that would not do his or her part to help make Vass one of the cleanest towns in the state. Your town has a real modern hotel, which carries a very high sanitary rating on maintenance as well as con struction. I am very glad to know that no cases of typhoid fever have been re ported in your town in 1922. We men, when we go to a town like Vass with the co-operation we get, are always glad to make a good re port to the State Board of Health. STATE SANITARY OFFICER, McLeod. MISS BRADFORD GOES TO HAMLET Miss Nora Bradford, Home Demon stration Agent of Moore county, will assist in giving demonstration in pre serving peaches at the Carolina Peach Show held at Hamlet July 25th. Miss Bertha Proffi^ the former home agent wiU assist also.
