C PINEHURST OPEN FOR THE SEASON Big Schedule Ahead and Pros pects Best Ever. The closing days of this week see the Carolina hotel at Pinehurst for mally opened, and the schedule ahead of this big hotel is so well backed up that the expectation of the best year the Sandhills has ever known seems fully warranted. Next week will be ;aken up largely in getting the swing vf things, and then the following week omes the big convention of the Amer ican Highway Association, with del egates expected from particularly all ifections of the United States. The entire week will be given over to the road men, who have an interesting program on the creation of the high way system that is now taking pos session of the whole continent, and opening a new world to the people of the United States. The meeting of the Highway asso ciation and the ordinary business of the hotel will make Pinehurst a busy place during the week beginning No vember 8. Then will follow a few days to catch up to the expanding business, when along the latter part of the month comes the North Caro lina Cotton Manufacturer’s associa tion, with about 200 members, and probably some interested friends, and November will wind up with an ac tive atmosphere over the commun ity. The Carolina has made ample prep arations to take care of increasing business. The town has seen an out lay of about a quarter of a million dollars in new building, extensions, remodeling, etc., and with the rebuild ing of the music room, the installation of the sprinkler system, the addition of about sixty additional baths at the hotel, the increase of the water tank capacity in the village, the enlarge ment of the garage to care for at least 150 cars, the rebuilding of the Harvard, the widening of the streets in places, along with new homes that have been built, and other improve ments made Pinehurst goes into the winter with a capacity for handling a business that is expected to come. At Southern Pines the Highland Pines Inn has been overhauled in many ways, more space provided, new cottages have been built in the neigh borhood and all over town new build ings of various character have gone up. A number of new stores have been built, and they are filling up promptly, indicating a general expec tation of increased business.

TO USE MOORE ~ COUNTY STONE Mrs. Martha Jane NcCrimmon The passing of Mrs. Martha Jane McCrimmon, of Lakeview, last Satur day afternoon, October 25, marked the end of a life well spent in service for her friends and God. Before and during the years leading up to her last sickness which took her to her j'rave, she was always kind, patient, gentle in all things. She bore that one week of terrific pain and sickness with patience and hope. The funeral was held Sunday after- i noon at Union Church, Rev. D. McD. Monroe and Rev. MacNeill, of Camer- s. Newcomb and Rav Pushee o". offi^ating. Those last respects I^t Contract to John congregation I McPherson stand as silent witness of the love that her friends have for her.

The Marks farm contains about 150 acres. It lies on the west side of the old Brown rail road grade, opposite the Yeomans or- Pinehurst is realizing on a new crop, and it is bringing more money from a limited acreage than James Tufts paid for the entire 5,000 acres when he bought it from the Page in terests. Down in the hearts of the big corn field, back a short distan.ce from the old warehouse a small ma chine for digging and sifting the sand, has been erected, and it is taking* out lead by the car load, and sending it to market in pigs of the highest purity. The work will go on for some time, as it is pretty certain that four or five cars will be harvested before the season is finished. Harrison Stutts and I. C. Sledge seem to be the pioneer prospectors and miners, and they have lead piled up in the field, in the warehouse and on all sides. The lead is melted in a big kettle at the place where it is dug, and standing around are a dozen old-time skillets which serve as moulds in which to pour it, making uniform pigs the size and shape of the skillet. Each skillet full is worth about $2.50, and it is believed before the mine is exhausted that some $10,000 worth of metal will be loaded for shipment. That will be twice what Mr. Tufts paid for the site of Pinehurst when he bought the place. The lead mine, if that is what you want to call it, which is now in oper ation, is one of two there west of the railroad, and the second one will be opened up when the first one is mined or harvested or sifted out. The lead is not a natural mineral deposit, laid down by Nature in the disturb ances of the past. It comes from the shot scattered in the target shoot ing which is a big feature of Pine hurst. For years the shooting range was in what is now the heart of a big corn fi«U, and the field has been plowed and cultivated several years. The shooting range is now farther out in the field, or in the woods by the edge of the field, and there the miners will go when they have finished on the present location. Mr. Sledge says he expects to un- and also a fine bit of hill that is ad- (Please turn to page 8) HOME HYGIENE AND NURSING (Please turn to page 8) KIWANIS CLUB TO HELP FARM LIFE (Please turn to page 8) . u 1 4-u T\/T Tr chard and bevond the Grover orchard. . . to mourn her death.

This organization is adding to the library that the school already has by getting the state traveling library. West End school children are tak ing advantage of the opportunity giv en them—by opening school earlier in the mornings—to pick cotton after school in the afternoons. Some are giving the money they earn in this way to the school, others are saving to buy winter clothing.
