Williiir n. Currk', c-hairman of the
■\1()<n’c“ county Board of (’ommission-
rs, was unanimously c’liHted chair-
-lan of a {'ounty-wido oi’Kaiiization to I
ope with the uneniploymont and ri'-
liof problem at a nu'ctinK held in Car-
thajre Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Ryals '
and E. II. Garrison, home and farm
«lcmonstratLon UKonts, were suggest
ed as secretaries to assist with the I
work, and Mr. Currie was jriven the i
authority to appoint others to assist j
him, these wiili the chairman to com-1
prise an executive board. Each com
munity will have it? local orpaniza- j
tion which will work in connection !
with the central committoe. ;
Rome seventy-five representative I
men and women from every precinct
of the county were present at the!
nieetimr, having been called togeth-1
er by Mr. Currie, who was acting upon
the request of Governor Gardner. The
advisability of having a county-wide
organization was discussed,, and Mrs.
Campbell of Chnpel TIill, who is a
member of the Governor’s council of
unemploynu-nt and relief, told of some
of the problems that would undoubt
edly arise and have to be faced by the
county.
The i)oint was brought out that
some of the communities w.'iuld '’'<vo
a shortage of food and a surplus of
clothinu'. while in other c('mmunities
conditions would !'e just thv other way
’round. .A county exchange was dis
cussed, and something ilefinite along
this line will likely be w )rkeii out in
the near future. The time was too
short for the completion of the work
itf organizing, but a good start was
made and judging by the interest
shown by those present, the ri'lief
work of the county will this year re
ceive the intelligent and sympathetic
thought of every precinct within its
bordeis.

Lumber Man Meets Death on
Cro.ssinn in .\l)erdet>n
.MARRIED ABERDEEN (ilRI.
With 78 in line, among them one
Civil War survivor, veterans of Amer
ican struggles marched to the Bap
tist Church in Southern Pines last
Sunday morning to fittingly celebrate
Armistice Day at the special services
conducted by the Rev. .1. Fred Stiin-
son, pastor of the church and chap
lain of the Sandhill Post, American
I.egion.
John Hayden .of Southern I’nies was
the sole Civil War veteran in the line
of march. There were a number of
Spanish War veterans, but the pro
cession was made up for the most
part of army and navy men of the
recent World War, members of the
American Legion, and of the Legion
Auxiliary. Not a few Wiomen of the
latter organization marched with the
men. The line formed at the Dodge
service station in Southern Pines and
followed the colors to the cl^urch.
Mr. Stimson delivered a stirring ad
dress befitting the occasion.
There was no celebration on Ar
mistice Day itself in Southein Pines,
though the arrival of Miss Amelia
Earhart in her autogiro plane furn
ished the excitement for the after
noon and led pver.vone to the Knoll-
wood Airport. The stores w'ere closed.
Carthage had a fitting celebration of
the day W'ednesday morning under the
auspices of the Legion post there, the
citizenry turning out for a pageant
put on by school children. Stores were
closed all day in Aberdeen and the
town depopulated when news of the
coming of Miss Earhart gained circu
lation. In Pinehurst a special program
was put on at the Kiwanis meeting
held in the Community Church.
Watch for the annual Southern
Pines Resort Number of The Pilot
-next week.
Hevei'ly (i. Moss, proiiiineiil himb>'r

Mr. .Moss married Mi's Klia Carti i
ill Aberdeen about 2."> years au:o. and
had many friends here. He was a
frequent visitor here in late years as
re[)iesentativi‘ of the Hyron .'^ash it
Door Coinpany of Louisville. Ken
tucky. and had been calling on M. H.
Folley just prior t^) the accident. .■\1-
though the crossing, just west of the
Folley lumber yard, is not a blind one,
there is no warning site:nal in opera
tion there similar to those at other
' .Aberdeen crossings, and it is appar
ent that Mr. Moss failed t,-) note the
oncoming freight. The train was ap
parently proceeding at a high rate of
speed, as 13 cai's passed the scene of
the wi-eck before the train "was
brought to a halt.
i T.eadinn Citizen
Mr. .Moss was prominent in Wash
ing. He was for many years iiresi-
dent of the bank there, and operated a
large lumber company at the same
time. He was an elder of the Presby
terian churcn, a Shriner and a mem
ber .of leading civic organizations.
Mrs. Moss and two sons, Frank and
Beverly, .Ir., sui'vive. .Mrs. .Moss was
ruslied here from her home in Wash
ington on news of the accident, being
I ili'iven as far as Sanfoid by Miss
Gladys Watson, a former Aberdeen
school teacher, and from Sanford tiO
the hospital at Pinehurst by .Miss
Watson’s mother, from Carthage. She
arrived there about half an houi‘ be
fore her husband died without re
gaining consciousness. The body was
taken to Wttshinjjt/in yesterday where
funeral services will be held.

"Never has a rope been pulled

Cheathant ,'if the X'illage Chapel, I’ilie-
hurst on Wednesday whi‘n he told
members of the Kiwanis ('lub of the
receipt of news of the sinning of the
.\rmislic-e in Pinehurst K! years ago.
Leonard Tufts received a telegram
that the Armistice had been signed.
He lushed over to Dr. Cheatham and
suggested the ring inn- of tlie chapel
bell, and the two started yanking the
IVipe,
Dr. Cheatham was the .Armistice
Day s|ieaker at the Kiwanis luncheon,
held Wednesday in the Community
( hurch at Pitiehurst. He talked of the
great job of winning the war, but
said the problem of winnimr the peact*
since the Armistice had been more
difficult, possibly, than the military
effort. He referred to the cost of w'ar
and preparation for war. The cost of
one battleshij), he said, eiiualled the
cost of 8,000 homes at $.'),000 each.
Preparation may be carried too far,
he believed. What we need is a world
wide putting into practjice of the
Kiwanis motto, “We Build.” Not
battleships and armaments and ar
mies, but constructive buihling, the
forward march of progress.
