THAT excellent and
upright periodical,
the State Journal,
went out of its way
to take a crack at a
J new book about the
South written by
our old friend, John Martin Ham
mond. We had long known Ham
mond to be a most painstaking
and accurate as well as entertain
ing recorder of facts as he found
them, and one fond of gatheringthe
details upon an interesting sub
ject in full. He has a book upon
the Quaint and Historic Forts of
North America, and another on
the Colonial Mansions of Mary
land. Both of these books are not
only written in a lively and en
tertaining and unusual vein, but
are also careful studies of the sub
ject and reliable as a dictionary
for the information contained.
Consequently we were the more
anxious to see this last, in view
of the Journal's peevish complaint
that the author had the audacity
to call any street in Charleston,
Main Street, and to neglect the
final splendours of the Grove
Park Inn. For it seemed that
perhaps the miracle had come to
pass, and a real writer of lan
gauge taken up the subject of
the Southern Playgrounds with
out consulting the proprietors or
deriving his facts from the adver
tising managers.
We were not disappointed.
"Winter Journeys in the South"
is a delight. With a light touch
and a discriminating eye he has
given a true picture of those
places where sportsmen and fash
ion gather in the Winter time, of
the quaint old Southern borough,
and made a story out of a really
piercingly discriminating guide
book. If I contemplated going
South the first thing I would do
would be to read it. I would know
then where I wanted to go, and
would find just what I expected.
There are twenty chapters, and
the names of them show that the
subject is handled by a smypathe
tic, humorous and at the same
time discerning observer. "A Bit
of the Old in New Orleans ;" "O
Mi Am Mi;" "That Well Known
Aiken;" "Hot Springs, the Rich
Maiden Lady ;" Pinehurst, Where
Good Golfers Go" This man sees
things when he travels.
His picture of Pinehurst is as
straight forward as any man can
desire, and will be accepted as a
fair and correct description by
anyone who knows us.
PINEIIURST, WHERE GOOD GOLFERS GO
It is safe to say that if anyone
who goes to Pinehurst is not a
golfer he is a devotee of some other
form of sport. There is a healthy
out-of-doors atmosphere about
the place, and a charm of move
ment and bustle of young life that
is wholly unique.
As to golf, there can be no
doubt that every good Pinehurst
er lives in just two states of ex
istence. One of these states of
existence is, playing golf; the
other one is, just the rest of life.
When they dream, they dream of
long shots through rolling piney
land; when they wake it is only
to inquire of their muscles
whether they are fit for another
day's work over on the links.
When they talk, they talk the
jargon of the sons of St. Andrew.
Even in the principal hotel of
Pinehurst is this significant sign
posted prominently in all of the
corridors and the lobby : "Guests
of this establishment are re
quested not to walk with hob
nailed boots or shoes on the
floors of this hotel."'
It is no detraction to the rest
of the attractions of Pinehurst
to say that the place is the golf
er's paradise of the South, and
that it is rapidly becoming one of
the most important golfing cen
ters in the whole country.
To begin with, climatic condi
tions are almost ideal for the
game here. There is little bad
