DO VOL. IV., XO. 22. PINEHUliST, X. C., AIMUL 5 1901. lMMCK TllIiKK CENTS THE GOLF TOURNAMENT. A Most Successful Affair in Every Particular. The lirst annual tournament for the Vnited South and North championship an excellent designation that, and the -credit of its invention is due to Mr. Henry Haynie, chairman of the govern ing committee, was brought to a close on Wednesday afternoon with Messrs. Wel lington, Diitton, MeKinley and Taylor in the finals. The lirst two mentioned we opponents at match play, 18 holes, for tlie championship, while the other couple was fighting it out for the conso !;iiioneup. The result was in favor of Mr. George Dutton for the former, and .nf.Mr. Taylor for the latter prize. It was a brilliant finish to a splendid tour nament, and par golf has been displayed ly several players throughout the tour nament. A striking feature of the events was tlie equitable handicapping for the Jit days play. There weie live scratch men: one of these, Dr. Harban of the 'oluiiilia Golf Club, Washington, made he lowest score of the day, 100 for 30 holes, and he won the best net prize. A second seiateh man, Mr. George Dut of the Oakley Club, lioston, made J ".', which was the lowest gross and he avoii that prize, as Dr. Harban could not take both. The I U best scores ran from Hi!) to 201, inclusive, and four of these tied the best gross score with their net scores. In the ladies' handicap, 14 players started, Imt a few of them declined to hand in their cards. To prevent any -possible doubt ollicial scores were sent """ with each couple. The women started oil well, but they soon found the high wind a hard thing to overcome and Sequent strokes resulted. In the end it u - 5 found that Mr. Harry C. Parker, a at the Holly Inn, and member of he Kidlcy Park G. C, Pennsylvania, was dinner of the lirst prize, a beautiful sil ver cup of exquisite workmanship. Mrs. Inker's gross was 121, handicap 14, net 107- Mrs. II. A. Patterson, of the Pine hurst Golf Club, a guest at the Hotel olin!l WOn the second prize, for the st gross score. Mrs. Patterson started scratch, and made 109. Mrs. George button, who had been picked out for the dinner, gt as high as 111, plus 5 handi ghinghera total of 11G. file (Irivimr sk.i... : r .. .... 1 .... 1.1 0,1 tiu-ee balls allowed, the long- " " u only to count, and it to be on the 0n-rse, that is to say between posts, was lr Lathrop Baldwin of New York. ,e 01,1 Sot one ball on the course, but j1 ued 180 yards and 8 inches. Mr. , ' "' ll!vnie, of the Newton Centre ' ' 1 ,lh, drove all three of his balls straight and between the posts. His longest ball was 176 yards and 5 inches. If the conditions had been on the aver age basis, as they should have been, Mr. Haynie would have won the first prize easily. Indeed, of the many who com peted in tlie driving contest, he was the only person who drove good golf, that is to say, straight and long both. The approaching competition resulted in favor of Mrs. Porter of Chicago, a guest at the Holly Inn, who beat some 90 men and women. The distance was GO yards, over a bunker and onto a putting green. Three balls were allowed, and three circles around the hole gave 5, 3 and 1, respectively. Mrs. Porter's score was 6 points. Miss Dorothy Taylor beat the entire field at putting and won the prize. Mrs. Harry G. Parker won the prize in counts so little, while an injured man comes high in law suits and even lias a value in government employ," said a bright young member of one of Uncle Sam's branch annie of civil employes, known as the railway mail service force, as he swung out of his car at one of the railroad stations this morning. "If a railway mail service cleTlyis killed in the line of his duty his family mourn, his friends are sympathetic and the department regretful for two rea sons, first, to lose an experienced man, for in our business experience and merit alone count, and second, because it can not aid the fellow's family or widow. "Under the law and the rule of the department if a railway mail service employee is seriously injured, if the dis ability continues even up to a full year, leave of absence with pay is consider- '3mS 1 CI f MT - an" the ladies' driving contest. On the first day the weather was line, the mercury standing at 78 at noon-day. On the second day it rained cats and dogs, and some of those who qualified, defaulted. The third and last day was Pinehurst weather, that is to say, lovely beyond all praise, except for the wind which blowed at intervals. And thus endeth our first tournament for which Mr. Tufts gave eight beautiful prizes in the finest silver, and five or six other prizes. Another prize, but which did not come from Mr. Tufts, was award to Mr. Henry Haynie. It is a magnificent Mexican onyx loving cup, silver mounted, and will bear a plate showing that it was presented to that gentleman by the golf players at Pinehurst. This compliment to Mr. Haynie was quite unexpected and surprised him greatly, but he appreciates it highly and was much pleased by this gift from his fel low players. Mall Men On the Trains. n- B Cinr,,l.ir fact in the make-up of the human mhid that a man when dead ately allowed him. If he is killed his pay stops from the day of his death, and the government cannot make an allow ance even for his funeral expen ses, much less aid his family, who may be in dire distress. If congress would authorize it such an allowance would be possible, but in the absence of an express law governing the point there is nothing for the department to do but to express regret, though the dead man may have given the best years of his life to the service of the government. "Shut up day and night in their mail cars, which are often their coffins, the general public has little opportunity of seeing a class of men who are indispens able and of the greatest public service. Last year lour of our force were killed, 51 seriously injured and 187 slightly injured in tlie performance of their duty. Iti collisions, especially head-on col lisions, the mail car is generally wrecked or badly splintered. "There are 8,794 of these men, and last year they handled the bewildering number of 7,363,191,360 letters and 6,429, 415,800 pieces of other classes of mail matter, making a total of 13,71)2,007,100 pieces. This amount in figures makes the public debt look like 30 cents. In addition they handled 19,850,000 other pieces, consisting of registered matter. In spite of the total running high into the billions, there were but 1,355,000 errors reported as made by the clerks in handling this stupendous aggregate, or a ratio'of one error to 10,275. "All of this is done in rapidly moving, swaying express trains, going at a speed of from 40 to 75 miles an hour, and all under unfavorable condition! as com pared with the work upon a large floor as the Washington city post office, for instance, and mostly under artificial light. In fact no less than 80 per cent of all the mail matter originating in th--United States is sent direct to . the rail way mail service cars to be handled by these clerks. In addition to all this, 14,500,000 pieces were thrown out because they were addressed so illegibly that they could not be delivered, though over 8,300,000 of these pieces were returned to the writers or forwarded to destination on corrected addresses. No less than 305,400,000 miles are covered annually by these men in 3,638 postal cars. "Naturally, after reading these aston ishing facts and figures, it is not to be wondered at that skill and experience end not political influence is desired by by these clerks. The civil service rules are strictly enforced in this branch of the service, which largely accounts for its splendid record of efficiency. New and inexperienced men are without practical value, and but for the main tenance of the civil service it would go to 'pie' very quickly. There are over 76,000 postoflices .and thousands of routes on the different railroads and steamboats, and nearly every experienced postal clerk has this enormous mass of names and locations well in hand. Their capa city to master and to remember names is trulv remarkable. Washington Star. Xext Sunday KveniiiK" Concert at the Holly Inn.
