great extent. My ancestors owned
acres upon acres of real estate, and
slaves to cultivate it. I, myself, have
owned more real estate than I cared

The Entertainment Features
The annual entertainment features
will be continued this year. The an
nual Parade which takes place on
Thursday will far outclass anything
ever attempted before. It will con
sist of over 30 floats representing the
flowers of the American garden and
greenhouse, which it is clearly seen,
means a most beautiful spectacle. A
voting contest will be conducted to
determine the most popular young
lady to represent the American
Beauty Rose.
The annual Pageant also is a far
step in advance of all previous efforts.
Written by Mrs. Alice Page Sham-
burger and directed by Miss Anne
Gregory of Virginia. “The King Win
ter Carnival” will be the most spec
tacular and elaborate production ever
attempted. The Pageant will take
place on Friday.

more and more the importance of
athletics in the schools and the sec
tion and this year will see a much
more comprehensive, athletic program
taking place every day.
Of course the - Annual Football
Game on Thursday between teams of
State College and Davidson College
is the piece-de-resistance on the ath
letic program, but there will be
basket ball games for the champion
ship of Moore county every day and
many other field and track events of
interest.
The music is another feature on
which the Sandhill Fair prides itself
and this year it will be “better than
ever.”
A very full racing program is be
ing prepared consisting of harness
races, running races and steeple chase,
with the assurance of many more
horses than, ever before.
An added entertainment feature this
year, which will be enjoyed by all
children between the ages of seven
and seventy, is the Merry-Go-Round
and The Whip and, on topj of that,
two ,very enjoyable free acts will be
seen every* day*
Still another added feature will be
the elaborate fireworks and concert
which will take place on Friday night.
All in all, the Sandhill Fair will
live up to it’s motto: “Bigger and
Better and more interesting than
ever,”' and a good time will be had
by all.

Mr. Stacy Brewer,

Dear Sir:—
Having read the statement at the
head of the “Cameron News” in the
August 4th issue of The Pilot, I am
forced to confess that it savors too
strongly of the truth to be denied,
but there is one phase of the matter
which I am both proud and happy to
be able (from an intimate knowledge
of the facts) to state emphatically,
that those included in the aforesaid
statement are not residents of Lake
view, but come from adjoining towns,
deluded perhaps by the idea that
they are establishing in regard to
habiliments a modern “Garden of
Eden.”
Trusting that this will find space
in the columns of your publication,
I am, Yours most truly,
W. BIDDLE GILMAN.
It must be nice to be a banker and
open up , occasionally between holi
