from the war were the loyal dependants of the women and the
children whose men had gone to the Confederate Army. When
Sherman came marching through this county in the spring of 1865,
the darkies did not flock to the liberating army. On the contrary
they helped to hide the horses and cattle in the swamps and bury
the meat and provisions in places difficult of detection, and in
every way to help the families in which they had been chattels.
Many of them followed their masters to the army and served them
there in the most faithful manner. Here and there is occasionally
found an aged negro man or woman still attached to the family
which was his owner before the emancipation.
The negro affords the principal hired labor source throughout
this section. He is an indispensable factor on the farm, about the
saw mills, in railroad work and is even creeping into the trades.
A large proportion of the brick laying is done by colored men who
attain a skill that brings them good wages. Much of the lathing
and plastering is done by the colored labor and considerable carpen
ter work. They are apt in automobile repair shops and make
dependable drivers of cars. Many of them save their money and
are buying homes and farms, and no people on earth are more
tenacious in holding to a bit of land when he gets it than a negro.
In some ways the darkey has his shortcomings, but his good
humored cheerfulness more than makes up for some of his indif
ference and his willingness at times to slight the job. To my notion
one of the charms of existence in the Pinehurst section is that the
negro is such a common factor in carrying on the work that has
to be done. He is tractable, agreeable, fairly efficient, and most
of the time you know what he says, and that is an interesting dif
ference in some of the conditions that are met with in the North.

PUTTING!
HOSE golfers who are weak in
putting find the Blue Colonel
cuts down the number of putts to
the minimum.
The absolute balance of the Blue
Colonel does that makes the Blue
Colonel roll straight and true for
the cup. No "heavy side" or "off
center" to roll up a big aggregate of
unnecessary strokes on the putting
greens.
