Mid-Pines, Knollv^ood and Pine

AN AFTERNOON OF RACES
AND SPORTS AT PINEHURST
When Mid Pines was established
an arrangement was made to secure
water from the Southern Pines old
system. That served until connec
tion was made on limited scale with
the new plant on Mill Creek. Part
of Knollwood was also served in this
same manner, but the connections
were not sufficient to be always sat
isfactory. When Pine Needles was
projected the matter there was simp
ler, as the big mains of the Southern
Pines system pass directly by the
new house. Then came the new
Knollwood Heights development, and
there a proposition was offered to cut
Knollwood into the Southern Pines
system on a six-inch main. This set
tled the question there. Then it was
realized that sooner or later the whole
section, including Mid Pines, Knoll-
wpod Village, Pine Needles, and pos
sibly still more tefrritory must ulti
mately come into the Southern Pines
area of water supply, and at a meet
ing of the Commissioners of South
ern Pines a plan was proposed to ex
tend the new six-inch main from its
conneiction at Pine Needles to the
old mains of Southern Pines, and
make provision for everything be
tween Pine Needles and the South
ern Pines boundaries. To this scheme
Pine Niiedles, Mid Pines and Knoll
wood all undertook to contribute,
and each of these influences will bear
a share in laying the new mains from
the present Knollwood connection to
the old six-inch mains of Southern
Pines at the old water plant.
TWs gives then two direct water
lines from the pumping plant, and
it will be possible to cut out either
Mne and send water up through the
other, or to rfiverse the current
through the six-inch line for flushing
purposes or anything else that may
Ve required. This will put Mid Pines,
Knollwood and the separate parts of
tile community on a separate line if
they need to have direct pressure and
will not cut out one section of the
territory supplied if the other section
should find its line out of commis
sion. In a pinch the six-inch line
would carry water enough to keep
Southern Pines from going dry should
the big line nJed temporary atten
tion, as was the case last summer.
The power to drive a full current
through both lines will have more or
less effect in further clearing up the
red color that bothered the consum
ers after the new plant was cut in.
Incidentally in a paper read before
On Thursday, November 24, at
the Pinehurst Race Track, the annual
Thanksgiving races, which are also
the first races of the season, will take
place and this means an afternoon’s
program of wholesome sports in
which, not only the race horses but
the riding horses will take an active
part. One of thfe most interesting
features of all race meets are the
equestrian stunts and specialties in
which all riders are invited to take
part. Liberal prizes are offered for
the winners of these events.

Stone Walls Have Risen in the
New Building at the Golf

The stone walls of the new club

of the Sandhills. An excellent road
now runs out from the Midland road,
and when it is finally made part of
the old Seals road, which has long
been a main road from Pinehurst to
the Carthage road beyond Mill creek
the region there on the head of Mill
creek will be another attractive spot
to drive over. The golf course cov
ers a series of hills, giving an out
look that is one of the features of
the Moore county ridges. Mr. Bar
ber knew what he was doing when he
secured possession of hundreds of
acres in the neighborhood, and the
improvement which he has commenced
points to a highly valuable addition
to the Pinehurst and Southern Pines
community.
The intention at first was to build
a log club house, but as the project
moved along it was decided to use
stone for the material, and the chiange
is a wise one. Thf brown sandstone
from the Drowning creek section is
used, and it harmonizes with the sur
roundings perfectly. Mr. Fuller has
made a good job of the construction,
brining out thfe afchitect's plans in
pleasing manner, and the location of
the building is on a bit of slope that
gives it character. When the work
is done and the 18 holes are ready
for play the club will be one of the
most interesting retreats of the Sand-
liills. It is supplied with a water
system from a reservoir on one of
the heads of Mill creek, but should

The campaign for raising funds in
Moore County for the Near East Col
lege movement is definitely under
way, according to Miss Loula East
wood, chairman of the work in this
county. Miss Eastwood says:
The movement being launched in
Moore County, in co-operation with
other counties of the State, to raise
funds with which to endow the six
institutions of learning in the Near
East is singularly worthy from every
standpoint. This investment by the
people is one of international good
will. It is unique in that it provides
not alone education, where education
is most sorely needed, but thac it
carries into the near orient under the
flag of our republic the gospels of
liberty, of freedom, and of truth.
‘‘The six colleges composing the
group in question are: Robert College,
Constantinople, American Univei*sity
of Beirut, Constantinople Woman’s

DEATHor MRS.
CATHERINE BLUE
Beloved Woman of the Eureka
Community Passes Afer a
Long Illness.
Mrs. Catherine E. Blue, of Eureka
community, passed away quietly on
the morning of November 3, after
a lingering illness. Mrs. Blue had
spent her entire life in the Eureka
community—having been bom not far
from the spot of her death on No
vember 20, 1841. She was before
her marriage Miss Catherine Ray. In
1859 she was married to Malcolmn
Blue. From this union there came a
large family of children to grow up
into respected and well-beloved cit
izens of their home community. It
is quite remarkable that the 10 chil
dren have lived and prospered in an
area of a few miles. Theise children
are: John C. Blue, Martin Blue, Mrs.
H. M. McCaskill, Malcolmn R. Blue,
William M. Blue, deceased, D. David
Blue, D. Archie Blue, Kitty E. Blue,
Mrs. F. M. Palmer, and Alonzo Blue.
Besses the nine children now liv
ing, Mrs. Blue leaves behind her 25
grand children and 19 great grand
children.
Those who have known Mrs. Blue
longest bear testimony to her Chris
tian character, gentleness of spirit,
and abiding faith. She became a
member of old Union Church in her
early youth, several years before the
war Between the States, and ranyilii-
ed a member of this church until the
new Presbyterian church was organ
ized at Eureka. There are several
remarkable things about the Ufa of
this saintly old character. First, few
permitted the privilege of living
for a period of 86 years, and ot wit^
nesaing the many changes which such
a period of time bring forth. There
are fefw who have been permitted to
live through the two greatest wars
of our nation, and to take an active
interest in both. Secondly, it is sel
dom that the beautiful fruits of such
a life are lavished on a single small
commtinity. And thirdly, there are
few lives which leave a more noble
heritage than the fine Chiistian chil
dren and grand children with which
Mrs. Blue has blessed her community
and county.
While she will be missed, there
should be no regret at her passing;
for surely such a life merits just
such a calm and peaceful transition
to the Heavenly shore. Her body was
laid to rest at old Union church on
the afternoon of November 4, Rev.
