Sarly Season lumber, 1015-101O Our Ambition When a captain of industry or of a cat-boat slams the door in the doctor's nose or reefs his sails in a snug harbor and with a laughing heart takes to the headwaters of Drowning Creek with a bag of sticks or a Eemington rifle, and to his astonishment finds he has gotten away with a silver cup or a deer's skin, it is our delight to record the event and the manner of its doing for his satisfaction and for the edification and entertainment of those that also ran, or that only stand and wait. In other words, we are a cur rent history of all that takes place in this, our diverting community. And for this service we recommend ourselves (a habit acquired from greater journals than ours) . Now, this we shall do for you record your joyful coming and your sad depar ture; give you a program of tournaments and games, a guide to the forest and a hint of the pastimes of the initiated; keep you posted on the progress of the championship and of the sport that is toward. We will lead you to the fountain of youth, of which you will not drink, and point the way to the singerfest and the vaudeville, which you will find crowded. Even the philosopher and the Nature Faker will find opportunities revealed And then we will consider our pleasures only begun. For what would you say of a man, or even of a sheet of paper, that lived in the very golden dawn and renaissance of the most completely fascinating and dynamic community in the world or one of them whose neighbors were builders, and seers, and artists and every conceiv able kind of adventurer and dreamer and fighter, who saw only the pavilion on the links or the flag pole on his own common? Or who being both deaf and blind, ob served only the name and the form of men coming and going, in a place where all men come soldiers and merchants and" statesmen and great philosophers? Why, you would say of him, as of us, that he had no more soul than a potato bug We have come to regard Pinehurst itself as an ever expanding picture a great work of art, a background for men; and even so only a small part of a living community, of which our greatest ambi tion is to become a factor, and in which we believe a great philosopher would find all the interests of life. Come, let us introduce you roughly. Almost within sight of the outlook upon the Carolina lives a man whose intrigues and battles have been the screaming delight of the metropolitan press, and whose mind con tains more of the facts and recollections of the modern business warfare fought along the Great Lakes and the iron ranges and in the dens of bank presidents and the arena of the exchange, than you can find in the whole of the State of Texas. Still he is but an amateur in this com munity, and rightly conpictures that in the building of a real country he can well take the lead of J. W. Butler. A playwright or a novelist would be native Scotchman holding the floor. The vox populi at random .at the last meeting we observed to include a graduate of Oxford and Princeton, the champion of beauty and a bitter enemy of progress; an Asiatic traveler as familiar with the path of Sven Hedin and the Cossack post as I am with the road to Aberdeen;" a cotton planter from Cuba and Mexico, whose experience in govern ment good and bad, and of people and events is wider than yours or mine; a Divine, distinguished in Brooklyn before I was born; a robber baron from the street, in favor of practical matters; a German scientist, master of peaches; planters of the black hat and string tie, stronger to serve than ever their fathers were to fight. And in conference with these you will be more than apt to see leaders of the Nation, men whose opinion on finance or potatoes or high schools or 7 , ... 9 i. -vC:-v ftZ I iL: Jiti nil i h ,1 ,J g HI TWO VIEWS OF A WINTER HOME drunk with delight to attend the war counsels of the Sandhills. My friend, if you are ever invited, as you will be if you care to participate in the real action of this community, go. You will find why we are willing to sit in this obscure corner of the earth and recount the rise of so small a people. Marco Polo never gazed upon so strange a company. No more independent and vigorous an assem bly, strong to make their own country after any image they believe best, has met in this State since the Mechlenburg Declaration. The roll call will reveal a New England humorist in the chair, organizer of the game; a Kansas farmer and a Kansas poet taking the minutes of the meeting; a Virginia gentleman from Southern Pines holding the purse, and a singing would be welcomed anywhere. If Addison could fill an immortal book with his friends and views of Sir Koger, may we not spend our leisure in recount ing the rebuilding of an old Scotch settle ment, in this vital chapter of a new American life, where a community is hewed out on new lines, and farmer and merchant and engineer and courtier and connoisseur join hands with the architect and the artist, the golf player and the huntsman; and when for once a Winter resort with pleasant permanent homes and a haven of sport and recreation, and the myriad participants therein, are one in freeman fellowship with the life of the surrounding drama? Let us say plainly that our idea is to chronicle the doings and life of Pinehurst (Concluded on page twelve) SHOOT POWDERS DUPONT BALLISTITE SCHULTZE Endorsed by Generations of Sportsmen and Made and Guaranteed by the Pioneer Powder Makers of America Loaded by the leading ammu nition companies in the popular loads for field and trapshooting.
