Girls of Flora MacDonald College Expected to Participate. A GATHERING of the representative men of Pinehurst met last week and put in motion several plans that will soon blossom forth for the delight of the neighborhood. The most dramatic of these Avas a more or less definite program for the pageant expected to be held at the fair next Fall. Historical pageants have been staged in many parts of the country with great success. But it is doubtful if a more dramatic and varied series of events, par ticipated in by a more divers personel than can be represented here has ever been staged. This at least is unique it will in large measure be the re-enactment of actual scenes once taking place among the ancestral pines by the very descendants of the original caste. The costumes and the paraphanalia the Bonnie Blue Flag, the powdered peri wig, the old flint lock rifle, the schooner wagon, the bag pipe and the tartan, the cavalry sabre and the poke bonnet j the golden locket, gift of King George, and the starry ensign of Lafayette himself these will be real, the actual things which live in the traditions of the country. The Highland Scotch are of all people the most tenacious of tradition, the fond est of their songs and their memories, proudest of their records and most loyal to their hardy race. Their history is one of romance and adventure, heroism and conflict from the beginning of time. And yet they are a people so adverse to any emotional display, so reserved and inar ticulate, that it is hardly known, and nowhere catalogued. In a day when all men endeavor to advertise across the face of the heavens, they refuse even to hang out a sign. The consequence is that nobody knows how rich is the inheritance of the inhabi tants of the Sandhills. Not only is the record of their race magnificent, but this inheritance is more immediate and personal than that of any other race on earth. They are not merely members of a proud nation they are the direct living representatives of families, every one of which is known in story and song, admired and feared the world over. Let me put this concretely, exactly as it is. In 1746 there were in all the Highlands of Scotland not more than 100,000 Highlanders. They were of the families of MacDonald and Cameron, McLeod, Stuart and Macgregor. A roll call of their fighting men would possibly muster but half an army corps. Yet since that time hardly a bloody battle field has been won in any part of the world but that these men have held the storm center. And they never lose their identity. Not even in the Sandhills. In June, 1745, two thousand of them came down out of the hills with Charles Stuart, a vagrant prince, and took the city of Edinborough from the English army as we would take a doll house from an infant garrison. The roll call is pre served. Thirty years later these same men, or their sons, gathered as of old to the sound of the pibrock on the hill at Carthage, over here, and marched to bat tle at Moore's Creek. The roll call was the same precicely the same, name for name, as far as it went. And now observe. Precisely these same' names would answer a call, were the elans to be gathered for the defence of the Sandhill region tomorrow morning. Read ing the muster roll at Cross Hill in 1776. is like reading a list of ones friends, or of the tax payers of the county. Not a man is missing from tne roll today. Their cousins were at Waterloo and Calcutta, in the Crimean and Ladysmith, and but yesterday saved civilization on the left flank at Mons. They themselves were at Gettysburg and Lookout Mountain. The plan is to have them rehearse in person the history of their adventures since first they struck oars across the Atlantic, and to bring before our very eyes heros and heroines, manners, cus toms and changes as they have come and gone. And it is very appropriate that the Flora MacDonald College for girls, en dowed by the Scotch in America, and patronized by their beautiful and sturdy daughters should have agreed to partici pate in the event. Th liual Method of Snaring- JTIeit was used with success upon the easily duped plainsman. Ben Blair was walking down one of the shabbier business streets when a girl accosted him with the remark, "Please mister, won't you come and help me, mother is sick and father is beating her." He fell for the bait and entered the rooming house. The girl pushed him into a room filled with men and girls drinking and smok ing. The first one that his eyes rested upon was Sidwell, Florence's fiance, who darted through a doorway and disap peared. Pulling his gun the Westerner drove back the group of men near the door and wheeling shot out the lights. The deci sion that chance meeting aroused Ben to make and what he accomplished are told in a pulse-quickening manner in the Western drama of action, "Ben Blair," the photoplay produced by Pallas Pic tures and appearing at the Carolina Theatre Friday, April 14.
