The Fitting Tribute to Skill
A SILVER cup to have and to hold through all
the years an everlasting reminder of great
triumphs won.
In athletic sports, as in other forms of competition,
silver is the accepted standard for ackowledgement
of deeds well done.
Whether in the trophy room of a club, or in the
dining room or den of a well-appointed home, it is
the treasured symbol of permanency, good taste,
and refinement.

"One of the best golf courses in the Metropolitan district is that of Hollywood"
says The Sun and New York Herald of August 8, 1920. And it adds: "Here is
a course the soil and turf of which are as close to perfection as there is any need
for these to come."
Also note the following from the New York Globe of September 22, 1920:
"Both Vardon and Ray have agreed that Hollywood is the bett course that they
have ever seen in America."

PINEHURST AND MOORE
COUNTY AS A PLACE
OF RESIDENCE
COUNTRY CLUB NOTES
The recent removal by Mr. Leonard
Tufts of his residence from New Hamp
shire to Pinehurst has been the subject of
congratulatory comment and calls atten
tion to the desirability of Moore County
as a legal residence.
Considered from the viewpoint of tax
ation alone, the selection of Pinehurst as
a legal residence should prove attractive
to a large number of Pinehurst visitors,
and especially to those who have made
investments here.
The entire tax rate levied on property,
real and personal, by the state and coun
ty for all purposes amounts to only sixty
nine cents on each one hundred dollars
of taxable property. Non-residents who
own real estate in Pinehurst already pay
this rate on that property, of course; and
all doubtless pay a much higher rate of
taxes on personal property in the state
of their residence.
Personal property, for the purposes of
taxation, follows the person, and upon
removal of residence to Moore County
the personal property of the taxpayer
would be taxed only in Moore County.
Residents of cities, by removal to Pine
hurst, would escape city taxation on per
sonal property. Pinehurst is not an in
corporated town and no town or city
taxes can be levied as such so long as it
remains unincorporated.
The total valuation of property in
Moore County for the purposes of taxa
tion is only $25,000,000.00 approximately.
Should any considerable number of the
visitors of Pinehurst follow the exam
ple of Mr. Tufts, many millions would
be added to the total taxable property
and the tax rate would undoubtedly be
decreased. It is not likely that the ad
ministration of the county affairs will be
relinquished by the thrifty Scotch people
who have been in power, and reasonable
taxes and economy with them are still
written alongside of their religious
creeds. With the increase of the taxable
property in the county, would result a
corresponding decrease in the tax rate
and a consequent reduction of the taxe3
to the individual.
Of course, there is now a tax in prac
tically every state on incomes. North
Carolina levies these very modestly in
comparison. Above an exemption of
$1,500.00, incomes are taxed: On the
first $2,500.00, one per cent.; on excess
above $2,500.00 up to $5,000.00, one and
one-half per cent.; on excess above $5,
000.00 up to $10,000.00, two per cent.;
on excess over $10,000.00 two and one
half per cent. No city or county is al
lowed to levy an income tax.
The foregoing are the only taxes levied
by the State of North Carolina or the
county.
These figures will doubtless prove in
teresting to many Pinehurst visitors.
Then North Carolina is a great state
and Moore County leads all the rest.
Lincoln found immense comfort and
helpfulness when trouble crowded thick
and fast upon him saying: "And this
too shall pass away." This is an ad
mirable reflection for' the victim of
moods and nerves.
Ex-Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of
Pennsylvania, is rapidly qualifying as a.
top-notch golfer. He went over the
championship course in 83 this weekr
the best he has ever done.
O 0 o
Clarence P. Odell, Secretary 'of the
Wykagyl Club, joined the hole-in-one
club at Pinehurst when he sank his drive
for the sixth hole on the championship
course at fi distance of 166 yards in a
match with Charles B. Hudson, Secretary
of the Tin Whistles.
O 0 o
Word has been received here that W. C
Fownes, Jr., of the Oakmont Club, Pitts
burg, Captain of the American Interna
tional golf team which is to play in the
British championship at Hoylake, will be
unable to compete because of a shoulder
complaint which has interfered with his
playing ability. It is understood that he
will make the trip as Captain of the
team, giving his time and advice to the
players, although he will be unable to
play himself. Fownes' forced withdrawal
from actual competition will lessen
America's chance to provide the winner,
for the Oakmont player is one of the best
in the country. He won the National
Amateur Championship at Brookline in
1910, and never fails to qualify in the
event and last well into the matchplay
rounds. He lost to Bobby Jones in the
semi-finals of the 1916 championship at
Oakmont, and to Chick Evans in the last
event at the Engineer's Club.
O 0 o
B. P. Merriman, former Connecticut
amateur champion, had a round of 74
on the Number 3 course and another on
the championship course during the week..
He played in partnership with Alex Eoss
against J. D. Standish of Detroit, and
Mike Brady, in the first match, Merriman
and Ross winning with a best ball of 69.
In the second match the Waterbury golf
er and Donald Parson of Youngstown,
who had a 75 of his own, were defeated by
F. C. Newton of Brookline, and John D.
Chapman of Greenwich. Newton Avas
around in 73 and took only 20 putts on
the 18 greens.
o o o
Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, who won
the Women's North and South champion
ship went over the championship course
this week in 79, which included a mag
nificently played 35 for the outward jour
ney. This is the best that has ever been
made at Pinehurst by a woman golfer
save for a round of 78 achieved by Mrs.
Hurd herself just three years ago. This
week's 79 was made in a match in which
Mrs. Hurd and Victor East, the Mel
bourne professional, defeated Mrs. Hope
Gibson of Hamilton, Ontario, and Joseph
H. Kirkwood", the Australian . champion.
An interesting feature of the contest was
that Mrs. Hurd won four of the six holes
annexed by her side, was solely responsi
ble for getting a half on four other holes
and played three holes under par figures.
A 5 on the short but difficult seventeenth
represented her only poor hole in the
round.
Her card was:
