Davis had the South, and he did not have that very hj\rd, and he was so badly beaten in the North and Northwest that the ex pense of an election might as well have been saved. LaFollette cut about as much figure as a pint of liquor at a fiddler’s convention, and Brother Charlie Bryan has passed the i>oint of being a joke. The majorities were smothering. States counted by some hopeful dreamers as doubtful were doubtful in the fact that in takin gthe bulk of the vote for Coolidge they left a few for Davis. New York trimmed Da vis in fashion that makes the slaugh ter of Julius Caesar a couple of thou sand years ago look like the work of the freshman class. A1 Smith, the democrat carried his state by a ma jority that is counted like you count cordwood, but Davis was about a mil lion behind Coolidge, showing that Davis was either 2ut to sausage in the house of his alleged friends or Coolidge had a rabbit foot, or Smith was as straight as a coiled snake. California that was to be for La Follette, oh my soul, 150,000 majori ty for Coolidge. Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, even the vice-presidentiM candidate’s own state, as well as Davis' state of West Virginia, and all along the line ma jorities that suggest a motion to make it unanimous. From the democratic view point it remmds you of the year of the big wind that blowed everything over in to the next county. In the state McLean made a prop er killing, and the state and county democratic ticket went through as the doctors say as well as could have been expe? ted. North Carolina is still tied to the old mooring. AL. BLUE, Chairman Wh th ^ l^^gely responsible for ^ J^^^isive majority given the dem- ocra ' vote in the county. In this helped by W. C. McLeod, an ' " astic worker. . , . * HON. A. W. McLEAN As The Pilot was printed the majority for A. W. McLean is not positively known, but it appears that he is elected by the biggest majority ever given a candidate in the State . The en tire delegation in Congress is elected by big majorities. TOLL THE BELL SOFTLY; . THERE’S CREPE ON THE DOOR 1 As The Pilot is printed Thursday morning the most complete figures available on the Port Bill ind’cate that it is laid to rest by a majority against it of about 12,000. For firing the woods at the psychological moment and saving the State this eight million-dol lar mistake, R. N. Page of Moore county, deserves much of the credit. He lit the match at the Kiwanis Club a couple of weeks ago and the rest did itself. The various amendments seem to have carried in the State. SANDHILL FAIR IS SAME OLD SUCCESS Big Crowds, Satisfying Attrae- tiMis, Fine Exhibits and Pleased People Never much remains to be said of the Sandhill Fair after it is over. Most is said before it takes place, and mighty few apologies are ever ne cessary for what has been said in ad vance. As an agricultural exhibit the Fair was a lesson to those who do not know this part of the State. The farm products were of the right char acter to show the farm possibilities and to inspire the farmers with in creased confidence in what their ground can do. The outstanding thing was the Ayr shire cattle exhibit and the Berkshire hogs, either being so far beyond any thing else attempted in the south that no comment is required. Each year these animals attract promment exhibitors and many persons mter- ested in live stock. Finehurst is mak ing the Sandhills famous for its Berk- shires and Ayrshires. Farm exhil)its were gratifying to the farmers who prepared them and to the people who saw what the farms of this neigh- MUSICAL ORGANIZATION COMING TO SANDHILLS Russian Symphonic Choir to be at the Carolina Theatre, Pinehurst, Nov. 22nd The finest choral organization that ever toured the South is coming to Pinehurst, November 22nd. Direct from its triumphant tour of Europe, and its wonderful success in New York, the Eiissian Symphonic Choir, composed of thirty of the pick ed Voices of Riis'sia, will delight the Sandhillers with a program the like of which they have never heard before. Songs of the Cossacks No other portion of the population of Russia has appealed quite as much to the fancy of the rest of the world, as the Cossacks. Unfortunately, this appeal has in the past years been in termingled with a feeling of awe, when the old Czarist government has used these Cossacks as unwilling tools for the sup*pression of all sorts oi in surrections, revolutions and riots. As a matter of fact, the Cossacks are perhaps one of the most eniighl^ned and most democratic parts of all the Russians. They are also the most law-abiding, which made them submit <GoaMBued on pa^e -ft) JUDGING CONTESTS OF VOCATIONAL STUDENTS Exhibits and Judging Contests of Vocational H. S. Students at Sandhill Fair Visitors at the Sandhill Fair on Tuesday, October 28th, manifested much interest in the vocational crop and livestock judging contests, be tween the agricultural high schools in the Sandhill district.

LUMBERTON WOMAN LIKES THE SANDHILLS Sees the Many Attractive Things In This Part of the State Editor of The Pilot:—I was born and reared in Moore county; most of our ancestors are buried there; a great many our relatives still reside there, and it is yet, to me, the garden of the world. We like to visit there now. The quite life of the people, un disturbed by modern isms, and the genteel manners of their modest chil dren are an inspiration. These fine Scotch people are the salt of the earth, and they grow dearer each day as the years roll on away from the peaceful life that marks the peace. I manage to keep from my mind the charms of spring and summer in Moore county, but when autumn spreads her glorious sunshine and gorgeous colors over the earth, my memory rambles over the grassy hills, and down by the sparkling streams, and I became a child again, I mount my saddle horse and ride away thru the clean surfaced forests, down thru the shady lanes, “over the hills and far away.” I hear again the sound of the wood man’s axe as he slays the forests, I hear his shout of joy and again a song of victory; I hear the low tinkle of cowbells and see the cattle grazing on the grass slopes, I hear the low hum of “Old Black Joe,” and “My Old Kentucky Home,” I look towawi the fields of-fleecy whiteness and there the happy old-time “slaves” catch up the refrain and it floats on and dies away in the hazy distances; I hear happy children shouting through the meadows, and over the hills clear notes of music floats from the lips of happy maidens as they go to lead home the owners of the tii^kling bel^. I hear again the woodman’s song iis he marches to his happy home, I see dark spirals of smoke rising from doz ens of flues and it floats away and settles peacefully against the rim of the cloudless sky. I look toward the west and there the sun beams with a thousand rays as it bids adieu to a perfect day; the curtains of night fall silently over a brave an^ righteous people who work and sing and liv in Moore county, the garden of the woTld.
