Th« Sandhill Fair.
In oompany with Mr. t£ M. Undar*
wood and family we attended the Sand* i
hill Pair at Pinehurst last Friday after
noon. The trip was made from Sam
ford to Pinehost In Mr. 1,'nderwood’s
car in one hour and twenty-five min*
ate*. This was made possible by the
•plendid highway* that have been
built in I«e and Moore counties. Ten
years ago it would hare taken one five
or six hours to- have covered the dis
tance with a hone and buggy. The
roughest stretch of road between here
and Pinehurst is the 8anford- Jones boro
road. TheMoore county- roads were
recently repaired and are cow in good
shape. • - _
The fanners were busy gathering
their crops along the way The fields
irnro irhltn with QOHensml on some
farms very little of it had been picked.
In aome places much of It had not open*
ed. We saw some very good as well as
sorry cotton. Forces Of hands and
teams were busily engaged grading
and straightening the Seaboard track
la the neighborhood of Yaw and Nia
gnra. A''* M - X
Upon reaching Pinebu* we found a
mrrfemuwu — m^oiB
face of the earth ■eemedlb'be covered
with automobiles. Thryl vrerc there
from four or five countirffb The fair
was held in the clab hone at Pine
hurst under the auspices erf the Sand
hill Board of Trade and the Woman’s
Auxiliary. There were no tent shows
or midway. The parade was a feature
of the fair, there being many beautiful
floats representing business bouses and
other concerns. As we entered the
fair building the first thing that at*
traded our attention wassosae splendid
music that was being myjf1 by an or*
chestra composed of girls from Flora
McDonald College, lied Springs* It was
worth a trip to Pinehurst to hear that
music. The girls handled those in
struments with the ease and grace of
some old master. The time was per
fect. Dr. Vsdell, president of the col
lege, who sat near by never felt hap
pier in bis life. But It wee left to the
girlaof this college to earry put anoth
er part of the program that did not
falld to attract attention..While sur
rounded by an immense crowd of peo
ple aome twelve or Sfteea of these giilfl
dressed in suits made of Scotch plaidj
danced the Highland fling on the green
