Narrow Escape
Eleven Thousand Volts of
Electricity Loosed When
Carolina Main ^ine is Cut
Eleven thousand volts of elec
tricity played around loose on the
road between Aberdeen and Pine
hurst near the Aberdeen Sand
Company pits Sunday afternoon
late when a boom of the big drag
line equipment of the company fell
across the main line of the Caro
lina Power & Light Company,
snapping it in two. Fortunately,
although a large number of men
were at work moving the drag line
across the-highway, no one was in
jured. Aberdeen and Pinehurst
were thrown into darkness with
their current shut off from the
big plant north of Pinehurst, and
Southern Pines was in semi dark
ness, getting what light it could
from its auxiliary plant until the
main line had been repaired.
The snapping of the line caused
a burst of flame to shoot up from
the highway and play about the
drag line-equipment until the cur
rent was grounded. Ralph Chand
ler, manager of the Carolina Pow
er & Light Company, states it was
almost miraculous that no one was
injured.

The Rev. Wade H. Thompson, who

been promoted to the office ,of Dis

roster.
There is fine material registered
which will provide leadership for the
individual patrols, but it will take
time to coordinate and develop the
troop into what it was when it was
the champion troop of Walter Hines
Page Council in 1929, and 1930.
The present task is to place each
scout in his merited rank so as to be
gin from some tangible starting point
and build up from there.
The troop was pleased at its first
meeting to welcome Dr. Prizer as a
visitor. The grown folks are always
welcome at the scout meetings, says
Mr. Backer,

these antiques are several old cards, | U

made hand loom more than 100 years
old, on which the old time, hand-wov
en cloth kn,own as linsey-woolsey is
being made daily for the edification
of the spectators. The original Eng
lish linsey-woolsey was composed of a
linen warp with a wool filling, hence ! II
the name, but the Mo,ore county prod- 11|

in this almost forgotten art. Num

coats (antiques in themselves) and
suits of men’s clothing, all made pf
this old time material, according to
the styles of another day, are on dis
play. Many hand-woven coverlets and
aged patchwork quilts, attractively
arranged, serve as a background for
the various ,other articles being ex

Other items among the antiques
include a display of old crockery, en
tered by Mrs. J. A. Price, matron of
the Quaker Children’s Home of Mc-
Tlonnell, together \‘^ith a four-poster
