A volume you should have in your library here as a part of the story of the unfolding of the Sandhills.

Advertise In The Pilot A. J. Tefft Was Station Agent, Telegrapher and Newspa per Man Here in 80’s By Charlen Macauley A full half century has passed since John T. Patrick planned a JitUe town in the pinelands and sandhills of North Cardlina, and he and nearly all of his contemporaries have passed on, yet now and then reappears one of the few survivors of the long gone days when we were not quite impor tant enough to invite future Presi dents and real Governors to stop awhile. So, quite casually, as is the habit with all the craft, A. Jay Tefft, once in the days of long ago Southern Pines’ only station agent, telegrapher and newspaperman, dropped into the office for a brief visit. Veritably a “first settler” he is revisiting the once embryo settlement. Patrick’s pride and now famous Mid-South Re sort. to find paved streets replacing the sandy trails of yore, and hotels, stores, churches, bungalows, cottages and mansions wide spread over the former deer fore.sts, blackjack wastes, sand dunes and pines. Where once arbutus and pyxie moss shone in the tangled pine needles now blossoms handsome shrubbery and beautiful flowers. Following the removal of Frank P. Woodward and the death of the “Southern Colonist.” Patrick’s ad vertising sheet, and the arrival of Mr. Tefft in August. 1885 to act as station agent for the Seaboard P. A. Goodridge broached the idea of another paper, and with his capital Tefft went on to Baltimore and pur chased a small printing plant which w’as set up in a shack located about in the rear of the present Mills resi- de'nce on West Broad street. Here the “Pine Knot,” the tow'n’s second ven ture in journalism, was started with Mr. Goodridge as editor and Mr. Tefft as pressman, assistant editor and ad vertising manager. This sheet, a pa per of eight pages, four columns to a page bore the caption “Lighted for the Illumination of Tar Heels Both Native and Adopted.” It continued publication for four years. Population: Forty When Mr. Tefft arrived he found a population of about forty souls, the first northern settlers John A, Barnes and wife living in the block I now northwest of Bennett street and [Vermont aventie; Philander Pond Pa- j trick’s right hand man, building the house on Bennet street, now Viall's, to be distinguished then and for many years as the only painted house in! town; W. A. Bland rvmning the Ht- tle saw mill on the pond, now Piney! Woods, and living in a small house | now a part of C. T. Patch’s res’dence. i During Mr. Tefft’s stay of a ’ittle! over a year S. T. Moffett built! “Tara Nook” on the corner of Penn-; sylvania avenue and Bennett street, j L. A. Young Mrs. Ruggle’s father) a house, now' a part of the Wood- worth, and W. R. Raymond the Pros pect House on the corner of Penn- ! sylvania avenue and Page street. This I structure was long since destroyed I by fire, while Captain A. M, Clark’s house at Pennsylvania and Bennett and Harry Parker’s next to the Wood- worth still survive. With all other settlers of that day, j Mr. Tefft, when in need of supplies, I either walked or hired Squire Shaw»’s I team for the trip to Manly, the Sand hills metropolis where they also found a church service. With the exper ience gained here Mr. Tefft became a real editor, publishing the “Echo” of Port Jefferson, L. I., for 25 years, finally retiring to his home town of Albany, N. Y., from whence he and his daughter Martha broke their journey to Florida long enough to once more view the old town so new in its present beautiful setting.
