•i Page FOUBTEI®? THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1956 BOOK PARTY NOTES Are ‘Southern’ Towns All Vanishing? Author Wellman Thinks Maybe So Manly Wade Wellman, who at j Atlanta couldn’t be considered one time was a member of the, one. Maybe Carthage, and per- flourishing writer’s colony in haps a half-dozen other county Southern Pines, hasn’t lost any'seats I know of, come close. At of his charm or elegant ability to 1 least as close as anything else to hold on to an audience, one!what is generally believed to be would guess after attending the | the typical picture of a ‘Southern autograph party at the Country town, he presently lives. “I’d like to come back here,’’ he said, “but I need the facilities of the library at the University for research and many other things I’m doing.’’ Bookshop Monday of last week. Wellman joined Mrs. Mebane Holloman Burgwyn for the party which attracted one of the larg est crowds to such an event in recent years. For many of the .guests there, it was like old home week listening to Wellman, a for mer resident of Pinebluff and one who took an active part in that town’s affairs. “Southern Pines isn’t a South ern town," Wellman said, ‘'but then again, just what is a South ern tpwn? Surely Charlotte or Winston-Salem or Greensboro or Mrs. Burgwyn didn’t say much about towns. . . she lives with her family in an isolated area on Oc- coneechee Neck of the Roanoke River in northeastern North Car olina. It’s seldom she even gets to town, though you’d never know it after listening to her charming conversation. Wellman, meeting old friends, seemed happy to be back. He in quired of the politics in Pinebluff —“terrific little place that surely miss”—^in Moore County, and had much to say about the situation in Chapel Hill, where into the little shop, many of them delegates to the annual North Carolina Sdhool Supervi sors meeting being held at the Hollywood. Many of them bought books. Wellman’s big scrawl could be had for the asking. . . so could Mrs. Burgwyn’s. All told, it was a very success ful party, according to Lockie Parker of the Bookshop.
