TOURIST TRAFFIC LIGHTER
Th3 toursist traffic on the road this fall
is lighter at the present than it was a
year ago at this time. Last fall a large
number of people of apparently moderate
means were flocking to Florida in search
of something to do during the winter.
Much disappointment followed, and many
of them were trekking northward during
the winter. But that class has not been
so large this fall. Still the migration is
big, indicating that the winter visitors
in the South will be many. All the signs
point to a big winter in the Sandhills re
sorts.
