■Dr. Rosser requests that if any of
the readers of The Pilot know who
borrowed his Sunday slippers, (pret
ty tan ones they were) from his
home a few weeks ago, to tell said
borrower to please return them.
They were borrowed from a back
room of the house while the family
was away one day during berry sea-
3f n. The other part of the house
was locked, which perhaps accounts
for this request’s being limited to
shoes. (Note: If this notice does
not bring the results which' Pilot
ads usually do, we think there will
be no harm done, for Doctor Rosser
h'^s been going out on Sunday just
the same since his loss as before.)
Little Tommy Gschwind fell, last
Friday evening, and sustained a
broken collar bone.
New series Vass Building and Loan

to start.
Miss McGill Entertains.
Miss Annie McGill entertained at
a lovely party at her home Saturday
afternoon in honor of her house
guest. Miss Jennie Holbrook, of
Huntersville, and Miss Lois Sanford,
of Laurinburg.
There were three tables of bridge.
Besides an interesting game of
bridge there was a tree contest
which caused must merriment. Re
sults showed that Misses Holbrook
and Agnes Smith won the prize, a
string of lovely beads, the same be
ing presented to Miss Holbrook.
Later each guest was asked to
draw a number and as fate would
arrange it, the number drawn by
Miss Sanford was stimulus enough
to send the hostess to another part
of the house, from which place she
returned with armloads of dainty
packages and presented them to
Miss Sanford. This miscellaneous
shower came as quite a surprise to
the latter, a charming bride-elect.
After the packages were opened
and gifts admired. Miss McGill and
her mother served a delicious salad
course. On each plate was found a
favor announcing the engagement
and approaching marriage of Lois
Sanford to James Allen Dunn, of
Salisbury.
Those present at this delig'htful
affair were Mesdames Dan Ray, Neill
McLean, D. A. Smith; Misses Jennie
Holbrook, Lois Sanford, May Davis
Westcott, Jessie Brooks, Jewell Ed
wards, Loula Eastwood, Agnes
Smith and Lillian Oldham.
MORE THAN 50 MILLION
PERSONS INTERESTED.
There is general lack of informa
tion respecting the ownership of the
railroads. Most uninformed people
believe they are owned by Wall
Street, by which they are used for
speculative purposes only. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
Capital invested in our railroads
has been gathered in relatively small
amounts from the people in all sec
tions of the country. According to
the reports of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, there are ap
proximately one millionl individua
stock holders in American railroads
and as many more bond holders, not
to mention the insurance companies,
trust companies, endowment funds,
estates and fiduciary agents of all
kinds, which are heavy investors in
railway securities.
It has ben reliably estimated that
50 million people in the United
States are directly interested in re
turns from railway investments. It
is readily seen, therefore, that fail
ure of the railroads to pay fair re
turns upon capital invested in them
disastrously affects a very large per
centage of the country’s population.
Absence makes the picture post
cards accumlate.
