I them agree that this tendency to
earlier opening is constant, each year
advancing a little on the one before.
Charlie Mason, of Mason and Gard
ner, at Pinehurst, tells of a busy time
at their office already, and although
he has been home from the North but
a few days he has been in action most
of that time. Inquiries for houses
have come in numbers that put Ma
son and Gardner in good humor, and
established a prospect that is hard
to disregard. Calls are for good
houses, and the indications are that
their office will have all it can han
dle for the next few weeks. Mr.
Mason is exceedingly sangfuine of
