TOBACCO MARKET PROSPECTS IN ABERDEEN With new blood as an incen tive, Aberdeen is making more than its usual preparation for this year’s tobacco market which opens here next Thursday. September 16th. Not in many years have prospects been so bright for a successful season, and Aberdeen intends to put forth ever>' effort toward this end. The Aberdeen market dates back almost two decades. B.

Ifrom extraneous forces, and the autumn advance is allowed to proceed, there is good reason to expect industrial employment to reach a level well above any point ever before realized in the country. EDITORIAL RAMBLINGS Schools are open, which means the start of another sea son in the Sandhills. Homes are opening up, stores are spruaing up and stocking up, reaj estate men are active. We are told by returning trav elers that it should be a good sea son. They say northern resorts have had a big summer, that people appear to have moiuey to spend, that they are traveling more, taking more time o^f from their businesses. The real estate men tell us there is a brisk demand for houses and apartments for the winter. City Clerk Howard Burns reports public with “Variety VacaLion- land.” There’s an optomistic note in the air. The Weather August Temperatures Lower Than Normal, But We Had But 15 Clear Days The normal rainfall for August Is 6.03 inches. The record for the past month shows 11.17 inches, 5.71 in ches more than last August, 5.14 in- ches more than normal, and closely approximating the torrential precipi tation of 1928 .when 12.05 inches of cr SAND Through these years Aber deen has had every opportunity to develope into a leading mar ket. It was not so long ago that its sales exceeded those at Lum- berton. Lumberton plunged in and through the efforts of its Chamber of Commerce and To bacco Board of Trade has in a comparatively short time become one of the big markets of the Border Belt. Aberdeen has the same opportunity for advance ment, and this year appears awakened to tts potentialities. It has everything to offer that oth er leading market towns have, plus better railroad facilities than most, and plus its location in one of the feature beauty sp«ts of North Carolina, the Sandhills, With the coming into the local field of warehousemen of splen did reputation; with a full corps of buyers from the leading cig arette manufacturers of the country, and with the business interests of the t«wTi cooperat ing one hundred percent, this k)oks like Aberdeen’s year to launch a real drive to climb into the ranke of the big tobacco markets. It has been fortunate in securing able and popular warehousemen to offset the de parture of Mr. Saunders to oth- fields. And it is fortunate in the coiidition of the tobacco crop, for all reports are to the effect that there is plenty of to bacco in this section, that it is of fine quality, should com mand high prices* Farmer, w&i^ehoU«feftian» buy» er and mftniifaeture}* look fdr a fin^ year generally. Aberdeen should share in this in greater proportion than in the past. The Pilot wishes it the best season in its history. THE SUMMER IN' RETROSPECT The summer of 1937, it is now pretty well assured, will Paul Bamum says small rentable prove much like the two preced-1 houses for the winter are getting hard to find. So many have been sold or leased to year-’round tenants—an in dication that our permanent popula tion in on the rise. Mebbe it’s a good time for some enterprising capitalist to build a few attractive winter homes among the pines The newest of Southern Pines assets will be launched on what is hoped and expected to be a successful career this coming Sunday morning, the new girls’( academy, Notue Dame de Na- ” - - mur, on the former estate of Walter S. Halliwell on Youngs Road. The old homestead has been remodeled, other buildings added, and the school presents a most attractive appearance. This is another unit in an institution which has a splendid nation wide reputation as an education al institution. It should prove to be a great addition to the life of the community. The lighting of the Southern Pines municipal tennis^ courts appears to have been a success ful venture. The courts are in popular demand every pleasant evening, the lighting appears to be effective once the players get used to it, and the matchesy*re proving an attraction to the pub lic who sit on the benches or loll on the banks alongside the co\irts and W&tch the play eack^ night. It would appear as if Dr. Daniels had started something worth while. Southern Pines will have eleven grocery stores this winter. ^Ve can do a lot of eating.

Isn’t it pleasant to hear from re^- turning vacationists that they found it hotter up north than here W the Sandhills? Even Maine reports a tor rid summer. The season really be on here til; we see some of the familiar fig ures crouched over their mallets on the Toque courts. ing summers, in avoiding any general recession in industrial production and in maintaining both the level of employment and payrolls, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States tells us. The summer has also been a period of relative stabil ity in the general price level, despite influences that of them selves would have caused more advances in wholesale prices than actually occurred. In manufacturing, the level’of employment this summer has been more than ten percent higher than last summer, and payroll payments 20 percent higher, and better. Such a rec ord in the face of strikes and labor disorders and legislative threats is indicative of what the situation would be if production and employment had been free from the handicaps that were Combined state, local and national debts, at the end of the last fiscal year, am'ounted to $415.96 for each person in the country, an average of $1,663.84 per family. This is the sum that must eventually be collected ia taxes (in addition to the annual run ning expenses of the government) be fore the government aebt Is cleared up.
