If he made a liv ing and paid interest and taxes he was credited with 50 points. If he made one per cent addi tional on the value of his farm none, so each driver for safety hurried to secure a tag, and the law was triumphant by its or ganization. But if many delin quents had held out they would he was given 70 points.

And in no newspaper man could it ever live more gracefully, cordially, and with more consideration and help for the State and his com munities. Colonel Harris has been identified many years with the Charlotte Observer, so long that to the older readers of the paper it is Harris’s paper, and its voice is his voice. That makes it all the more personal when he comes to visit any section of the State, and when he goes home to write something about that visit. Wade Harris comes often to the Sandhills, and he always has an appreciative word for what he sees, and what he says is the 1 BANK OF PINEHURST PINEHURST, N. C. Everybody has at times some valuable documents that should be put away in absolute safety, including deeds, insurance policies, marriage certificates, agreements, re ceipts, etc. Had all the deeds in Moore county been safe when the court house burned a few years ago much trouble would have been saved. Marriage certificates frequently establish relationship that is of great import ance. Copies cf agreements are invaluable when they are wanted. The way to preserve these things for a certainty is to have them in a SAFE DEPOSIT BOX IN STRONG VAULTS. That is available at the Bank of Pinehurst, which en joys the possession of one of the strongest vaults in the South. Protected from fire and burglars by every known modern device.

Not many people were apprehensive, for not many thought of the possi ble seriousness of the situation. But when January 1 came, and not more than half of the li cense tags required had been is sued, it is not to be denied that a situation of much gravity fac ed this state, and with it the whole American nation. The Revenue Department had serv- notice that on January 1 no car without its 1928 tag might tra verse the roads of North Caro lina. Yet half the population driving cars had either neglect ed or defied that order. The dan ger turned on the interpretation fact that many successful men have never been very long in school, and that colleges have no monopoly in training men to do big things. This does not say that colleges are not the leaders in education, but that they miss much that they should accomplish. But one of the difficulties is that schools and colleges have difficulty in securing as many broad-minded educators as they need because school teaching does not pay salaries to tempt the most capa ble men and women to enter that career. When a brick layer can earn $18 a day and a teacher is lucky to earn five no incentive is offered to enter school work in a financial way. But here is the difficulty. A contractor who knows the value of laying bricks pays the brick layer to get the best he can find while school teachers are hired by the public from public funds, and the amount of money paid looks big- Pinehurst Warehouses Pinehurst, N. C. The Pinehurst Warehouses start the new year with a record from the past year that is highly gratifying-. Business reached new proportions, as was hoped and the prospects were never better. The business of merchandising is underg-oing- a chang-e in these days, and at the Pinehurst Warehouses the attitude is that the force of employes and management is the buyers’ representa tive to procure for him at proper figure and of proper quality such things as he needs or desires. The Warehouses have an acquaintance with goods and with producers and with the detail of quality, price, uses of materials, adaptability to this section, with business men who offer their wares here, and we proceed on the principles that our work is to buy for our customers in the ))ig world markets because we have that familiarity which our customers do not have. For our work we add to the cost of the goods that factor called profit, which pays our expenses of operation. We are not trying to sell the customer something he does not want, but merely offering our services to enable him to obtain the thing he does want, or that meets his needs. We undertake to make him safe in the transac tions. As an example some considerable time ago we sold a man a roof. Recently he came in and said it was unsatisfactory. It failed, as a roof will some times do. We notified the factory. They prompt ly said put a new roof on the building and charge to our account. They had guaranteed the roof. We can’t get guarantees for everything, but we get as many as we can and manufacturers who sell to us attempt to sell the right goods for our trade is worth something to them. These are the reasons our trade grows so rapidly, and why it is so satisfactory to our customei's. We are working for them. Pinehurst Warehouses Pinehurst, N. C. WE BUY FOR YOU.
