C FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1926. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 CONFIDENT OF STONE FUTURE Colin Spencer Sees Big Pros pect for Moore County Colin Spencer is pushing forward on his schemes to develop stone in the upper part of the county, and is hope ful of establishing an industry there that will distribute its product not only over all of Moore, but in many of the districts of the state where building is going on. He has been prospecting over wider territory, and finding more varieties of attractive and substantial stone, and he also has been in Greensboro, Raleigh and other places exhibiting samples of his discoveries, and telling what Moore county has in building material, and the cost of loading and deliver ing the material to all the towns in a reasonable range of the point of pro duction. Half a dozen different types of building stone have been included in the collection Mr. Spencer has already made, and others are to come. These include highway and concrete mater* ial as well as building stone. Some of the flooring slates and flagging that he is finding show up in differ ent colors, and in many patterns that give promise of interesting builders. The stone for walls, chimneys, col umns, etc., is of many types and pat terns, and in unlimited quantities, for all of the upper part of the county is made of stone, with the exception of a thin covering of surface clay and gravd in places. But along the Norfolk Southern railroad from the point where it enters the’ county to its point of exit stone of many kinds if In Quantiities millions and mil- Itons of tons, l&nough to replace all the building in North Caroina could be taken out and the total supply not reduced to any perceptible extent. The brown sandstone of Moore county is only one of its building stones, and probably the least valua ble, for it has but one color, and some of it is inferior in quality, for it is but a sedimentary rock, while the lighter and darker colored rocks are more permanently cemented together, and are found in a wide range of type?3 ^andj colors and shap^ and (Pleftse turn to page 8) Dry Weather MOORE COUNTY MAN RE-EIECTED Movie Men Ask Picqnet To Serve Another Term The North Carolina Motion Picture Theatre CKmers, in convention at Wrightsville this week, named Chas. W. Picquet as their president for the coming year. Mr. Picquet has been guiding the destinies of this organi zation and delivered the STOods in such an efficient manner that his fellow exhibitors deemed it wise to receive the benefit of his able direction for another term, at least. The convenMon was by far the best the theatre men have ever held. “Or- ganization'* was the watchword and several progressive measures were adopted. We congratulate Mr. Picquet, andf having seen him in action, can con gratulate the M. P. T. O. just as heartily. Damag-es Crops The continued dry weather is doing much damage to crops. The dewberries have suffered badiy, and the peaches are beginning to feel the effects. Corn and cot ton have not shown so much harm, but the gardens are hard hit. The water level in the ground is steadily getting lower, and if rain does not soon come and in considerable abundance the farm outlook is not comfort ing. It is true that drouth has been as bad as this before and rains came in time to see a good general crop, but the fruit is now at its climax and what is to be done to save it must be done soon. Rains are promised, but at this writing they seem to be chiefly promise. This is the third or fourth year of dry sum. mers, and the cumulative effect is bad, as each dry season seems to leave the ground in worse shape than they were before.

McDonald) The Executive Committee of the Moore county chapter of the American Red Cross, also the Moorfe County Health and Welfare society held the June meeting in the home of Mrs. M. C. McDonaldi West End, Tuesdey, June 8th, at 2:80 P. lif. The chairman presided. The attend«nce was good, Reports from J. H. Page, treasurer of Bed Cross and Robt. N. Page, treas urer of Health and W>elfare were read and approved. A life saving instructor for our county cannot be secured this sum mer as we are too late in applying. The demand seems to be greated than the supply of instructors. Our chairman was glad to an nounce that C. 0. Bell has kindly consented to take charge of the Red Cross roll call! this fal. Mrs. Hazel hajs asked for the months of July. August and Septem ber to take a much needed rest and recuperate from the recent long ill ness. Her request has been grant ed. During her absence her car will be cared for and stored in Pinehurst, also the Red Cross will be painted on it before she returns. A motion was made and carried that welfare funds be used to pur chase awnings for county sanatorium. Mrs. H. F. S’eawell and Mrs. T. B. Tyson to make the purchase and see that they am installed. Several branch chairmen made re ports, all were interesting, but Mrs. Keating’s, of Pinehurst, was especial ly so. Her committee enrolled 85 members the past month, averaging 50 cents per member. *f1ie statement was made in a previous article that there were no welfare dues. But when the question of whom should be allowed to vote arose, it seemed best to have an annual membership fe« of 25 cents per member. A report from Annie Gaston, sup ervisor of colored schools in the county was read and approved. She re ceives a small amount from the wle- fare budget for work among her peo ple and seems to spend it wisely. Mrs. HazePs report came next. She made a strong plea for the under priv ileged children in the county and urg ed the meml^ers present to be ready to help establish a pr^entorium when she returns to her work the first of October. She has found several chil dren much underweight, some of them exposed to tubercyflosis. These chill- dren in a preventorium could be built (Please turn to page 8) Barley, oats and vetch in combi nation have produced yields of from 1 1-2 to 3 tons of dry h^y,per,acre in Union County this spring. The passing of Helen Mar D'auby on Friday morning, June 11, was an occasion of sincere sorrow to her Lakeview friends and neighbors. For many years, since the infancy of the little to^ her name has been a house hold word and many there are who have known her kindnesses in church, in school and in the community at large. She was always ready to help every worthy cause with money, with her facile pen or with well directed words, and this applied to the colored people as well as the white for she was a- ways their friend. Her illness was brief as she had always prayed it would be, and even during the time of suffering she was planning for some cMildhr'eii ^•at Vass. Always the young interested her most and though the many years had passed over her, she was still young in spirit. She was devoted to her young protegee. Miss Ruth McNeill, of Vass, and the affection between them was beautiful. The community attended to the de tails of the funeral to spare the beloved and only daughter, Florence, all the suffering possible, as she and her husband could not get here un till Saturday night. Sunday, the church was beautiful with the most exquisite flowers from northern cities and from the commun ity. The choir sang “Rock of Ages” and Abide with Me,” with Miss Lula Eaaitwooil at the piano* - Mjc. Monroe conducted the services in a very tender and considerate manner, both in the church and at the grave. In compliance with an oft express ed wish of Mrs. D’auby*s, that she be buried here, a beautiful lot was se lected and she was laid tenderly to rest with the whifluring of the trees above and the beauty of flowers all around. No one could express wishes in m more beautiful form than in the following poem from her oWn 'ever ready pen. She was a poetess of <Wease turn to page 8) LAKESIDE INN, DRAWS CROWD Fast Gaining Reputation For Superior Ser vices The amount of patronage being ac corded the Lakeside Inn at Lakeview indicates that the new policy adopted by £he management is popular and will receive the stamp of approval from the public. Last Sunday there was a waiting list at the dining room for a time, but all received ser vice that satisfied and were loud in their praise of the excellent table Manager Lancaster had prepared for them. MISS CAMERON VISITS CHICAGO Miss Gussie Cameron left last Thursday for Chicago where she will commence a twq weeks study in X-ray work. lAs$ Cameron is the able and efficient worker in Dr. Mud- gett’s office. She has had advanced study along these lilies as she spent some time in Charlotte under able in structors.' She will come back from Chicago broadened by her course and undertake more responsible work in the office; for the doctor says she is developing an ability with the X-ray woric and an aptitude with patients that permits him to advance her ma terially. She is a wfU-liked young woman and she has a cordiality that mak^ her a ^«ed member of Dr. Mudgett’s force. Legion Picnic At Lakeview The Carthage and the Sandhill posts of the American Legion are planning for a big basket picnic and baseball game at Lakeview on July Fourth, to which they ask all members of the legion from any place to come and bring all their friends, or all friends to come whether they are brought or not. As this is one of the few outings announced for this section or the neighborhood towns a big crowd is exepected. The Sandhills post and the Carthage posts will each present a ball team. That from the Sandhills will consist of Donald Eifort, cap tain and pitcher, Bill IhHilop, catcher, H. J. Betterly, first. Dr. Hart, second, (lordon Cameron third, Bob Lewis, short, Mr. Purdy, right. Nelson Courtway, center, Alex Field, left. Car thage will offer a nine to meet these boys, but The Pilot has not a list of the names. MISS EIFORT TELLS OF WORK Talks To KIwanis Club About The Unfortunates of The Country BIG LAND SALE AT KMLWOOD J. V. Healey Gets 1,800 Feet On Midland Road J. sj. Healey has bought 12 lots on the Midland road in Knollwood, ex tending 1,800 feet on the left of the road going from Southern Pines, just east of the bridge near the Barber lake. This closes out all the land on that side of the road between Southern Pines and the creek, and is presumed to be the beginning of some a©rt of developittent ’^n ttatw borhood. Nobody would say much about the purpose of the purchase, but it is intimated that some further projects are in sight, and that the territory in the vicinity of the lake will be opened for. consideration and use later on. This is regarded as one of the most important steps taken in that section in a considerable time, as the size of the block of lots makes it an unusual ly big sale. The prices are not mentioned, but it is said that they help up to a figure that gives a sub stantial tone to values in the Mid land road section. Real estate men have a high regard for the tract in question, as it is close to both South ern Pines and Knollwood Village and the golf course, and lies on the high yde of the double road, with a wealth of pme treees covering most of the surface. At the Kiwanis meeting at Aberdeen Wednesday Miss Eifort, the county welfare agent told the members about her work in Moore county, and she presented a bit of information that was tragedy and pathos. Some hope ful phrases crop out-in the work, but the most of it has its depressii^ features no matter how much opti mism is brought to bear on the sub ject. While less pathetic she says the school work is the hardest of all, because it involves more or less com pulsion in the effort to get the chil dren into school. However, Miss Eifort says the attendance is grow ing more satisfactory, and the prize offered by the Kiwanis club for at tendance is helping to awaken a great* er interest in the children in inaking good records. The speaker cited a number of cases where she mixed tact, force, explana. tion of law and some financial consid eration with the attempt to get the children in school, and one case she cited was that where she paid a child fifty cents a day to attend, when his mother said the work of the child at home was necessary to help in the maintenance of the familly which was burdened with sickness, and scant in come. The money paid was the gift of an open-handed friend of the wel fare work and was sent in to be used as Miss Eifors decided best. She has several contributions of that charac ter, and the uses she puts them to are novel. One amu8?ng incident livened tb« soml^r tale in spite of its tragic tone. She had one on her hands, an insane negro, and apparently no j^lace to put him. She wrote to the superin tendent of the hospital at €k>lds- boro and said the man must be sent some place, and that 'she-had fa^il-^ ities in the county for caring ihim. The answer was that the hos pital full, but when she finallly insisted the superintendent . wrote back to her that if she would send her violent negro down to the ho;ipi- tal at Goldsboro a less violent one MEETING OF THE STATE B. Y. P. U. CONVENTION AT MEREDITH The State B. Y. P. U. Convention for North Carolina will meet at Meredith College, Raleigh, N. C., June 22-24. Each local union is urged to send one delegate and each church where there is no B. Y. P. U. is urged to send one. Mr. Perry Morgan, State B. Y. P. U. Secretary has arranged a splendid program which will be very . much worth while. A new feature this year will be the arrangements for enter tainment. All delegates will take their own sheets, pillows, l^ilow cases, soap, towels, comb and brush, etc., and will stay in the college building. The college does not have thesie articles so be sure t<) carry them with you. Rooms are free and board will be furnished by the college at one dol lar a day. B. S. BEACH, Bonlee, N .C. Tiiis summer may be a good time to plant some Sudan grass for forage and hay, think livestock workers of State (College. It appears that drought may permanently injure the com crop. The hog outdook continues good. Many North CS^olina farmers are cashing in on this farm crop l^s year. (Please turn to page 8) PINEHURST cow WINS TROPHY Flossie Mitchell Awarded Hand some Silver Cup Pinehurst has won another triumph, for last year Pinehurst Flossie Mit chell produced more milk than any other Ayrshire cow of her age iii the United States. She is 4 1-2 years old, but comes of a remarkable fam ily of milk cattle, her father and mother and one grandfather and one grandmother being in the Pinehurst herd, along with a number of sinters who are making records as milk pro ducers. As a reward for her achievement Flossie was awarded a handsome sil ver cup at a meeting of the .Ayrshire * Association at . Pililadelphia a few days ago. This is not the first of the. Mitchells to win distinction, ior several have been so honored, and it is expected that more of them will be, for the whole strain appears to be big producers. Pinehurst brought out the old Tootsie Mitchell, a cow that made her first record after she had reached her teens because prior to that time no pronounced tests were made of this family of cattle there. But Tootsie at once hung up the rec ord for her age and continued for Sev eral years to make new ones, and then tests were made of a nutnber of her heifers and of .others of the Mitchell family,^ ai^d ^ey commenc ed to win recognition. Tootsie Mit chell made such a big milk produc- I 1 f. * f ! ■! J. f, (Please turn to page 8)
