A narrative of the settlement of the Sandhills

community and were so prominent in creating the na

A book you can read with pleasure and take home
with you when you go, to carry with you some remin
iscences of this interesting region.
A volume you should have in your library here as
a part of the story of the unfolding of the Sandhills.

winter visitor to Southern Pines, writes of Old Bethes-

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

j trick’s right hand man, building the

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-;

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.
