JPBIL 14, 1921 PAGE 9 DE OLE' NORTH STATE" By W. Biddle Gilman I 've travelled in sunshine, snow and rain, By horseback, by buggy, by motor and by train, And of all the points I visited, none ap peared to be, Like "De Ole' North State,' ' that's good enough for me. They may talk about their wondrous foreign climes, Of avenues and boulevards or anything that rhymes, Of hikes across the continent, . of liner trips at sea, I M sooner be in ' ' De Ole ' North State, ' ' that's good enough for me. I cannot do it justice, in my weak attempt at praise, But here I hope to live my life, and here to end my days, So when I reach that future goal, I don't know which t 'will be, I can sing my song of "De Ole' North State ' ' that was good enough for me. WORKMEN ARRIVE FOR WORK AT KNOLLWOOD PINEHURST PLANS (From the Bankers' Journal) The prizes for the Bankers' golf tour nament at Pinehurst, May 1-7, have been selected and are being engraved. Leon ard Tufts makes himself a veritable host to the visiting bankers and seems to en joy it. Not satisfied with providing more than ample prizes for the tournament play he put up novel side prizes such as a box of balls for any banker who makes a hole in one, or, who holes the most balls in one putt on the green. The putts to count must be made in the course of regular play and not in prac tice. Donald Ross is making plans for the tournament, co-operating with the golf committee, and will perhaps be able to give it his personal supervision. Colonel Bowerman is planning .the week's pro gram of council and committee meetings so as to get in all the work possible and yet leave a big margin for play and out ing pleasures. The weather at Pinehurst is reported as the "most remarkable" in recent years. There will be not less than four presi dents of state bankers associations on the Spring-tonic, as many state secreta ries, several ex-members of council and, last to come in, Oliver C. Fuller, always one of the main spokes in the trust com pany section wheel. He is going to be in on some of the golf contests, being a past master with everything from the wood to the short kick into the hole. Pierson and Watts should be in on this. During the week another car had to be provided to care for the extras and for "friend wife," who is going in abund ance. Much over half the registry will le carried to Pinehurst on the Spring tonic. A car will be waiting at Chattanooga to take those who get on board there and at Atlanta. The Springtonie will be a nine-car train when it pulls out from Chicago over the Monon at noon on April 29. St. Louis cars will be hooked on at Indianapolis. The new club house at Knollwood starts in a few days. C. F. Ballard, of Hamlet,' who will be superintendent of construction, arrived Monday to make arrangements for beginning work, and will at once begin the organization of his forces. He will bring in a few days four foremen, and as the work progresses, he counts on from sixty to seventy-five carpenters and bricklayers. The immed iate problem that he is working on is to find a place to put his men.. Material is on the way, and as fast as it comes it will be moved over from the station to the building site by the help of three or four trucks. Mr. Ballard is figuring with S. B. Richardson for sev eral houses in which men with families can be cared for during the summer. It will take a feAv days to get organ ized and put material on the ground to , get under way, but as soon as the freight begins to arrive the truck crew will be started and gradually the carpenters and masons will be taking hold, and by the end of the month Mr. Ballard hopes to see a right fair army in action on the job. HAROLD WEBER LATEST TO Announce for British Event The latest addition to the list of ama teurs going abroad to compete in the British title event is Harold Weber of Toledo, who has spent considerable time at Pinehurst this winter and was a keen contender in last week 's North and South championship. Weber has taken part in two of the British championship tourna ments and Avon his way through to the fourth match round in 1914. George Rotan, the Texas star, is also going abroad. Rotan has won the Hous ton invitation event four times in succes sion against fields as large as 200 play ers. F C. Newton, the Massachusetts team captain, who is now playing at Pinehurst, denies reports that he will join the expedition. JUDGE W. A. WAY BUYS AT KNOLLWOOD Judge W. A. Way, Vice-president of the Commonwealth Trust Co. of Pitts burg, Pa., who, with Mrs. Way, have oc cupied apartments in the Clover Leaf at Pinehurst this season, is the latest to purchase a building site on the Knoll wood property. Judge Way picked out a handsome lot on the boulevard near that of Mr. James Barber and very near the site of the club house. Mrs. F. Tal ford Keating' bought another lot there during the past week, making two that she now owns at Knollwood. For 10,000 years, more or less, people have devoted themselves to the business of "warning young girls." And the girls have remained sweet in spite of it.
