VASS. N. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 8,1923 SUBSCRIPTION $1.S0 ABERDEEN FURNISHES MOST SUCCESSFUL CHAUTAUQUA IN THE SANDHILL SECTION The Governor Gets T. B. Wilder’s No. “1” Auto License—Five Shriners Go to Washington-Other News Chautauqua has come and gone. Necessarily a Chautauqua program niust be arranged to satisfy the tastes and preferences of as many people as possible, for its main nature is to bring up community ideas. Some of the features that did not please one were thoroughly enjoyed by some one else. The lectures were all, every one of them, instructive. Grove Hurbert’s was popular though it contained a message. Frank Dixon left the im pression of a scholar. Both lecturers concerned themselves with the out side material world, which is now trying to right itself again. Franl: B. Pearson, however, evolved another world—the individual world, the world each one creates for himself—and be fore leaving the platform sowed seeds of perpetual good. The music fea tures, too, were generally appreciated, the Swiss Yodlers undoubtedly mak ing the biggest hit. However, their achievements did not excel those of the other artists, some of whose ren ditions were rare treats. Chautau qua is assured again for next year. Instead of coming with thirty signers on its guarantee as it did this year, it will be assured by fifty or more,— the best indication that Chautauqua is appreciated in Aberdeen and its neighboring towns. Tuesday’s News and Observer car ried an item stating that the new au to licenses were out and that No. 1. license had been reserved for the Gov ernor and that the next consecutive numbers be given other state officials. And thereby hangs a tale. For has not our fellow townsman. Attorney T. B. Wilder for lo these many years been issued license No. 1 ? We un derstand though that a conference was necessary in order to get Mr. Wilder to peacefully part with his lone, lonesome little number. Rather than have Mr. Wilder bolt the demo cratic party or leave the state, the Automobile Department of this great state gave him all the I’s it could on one license tag. Mr. Wilder’s flivver will now be adorned with li cense tag No. mill, and will have the distinction of having more I’s on his license tag than on any one else in the state till the one million point is reached in the number of cars, which will not be during Mr. Wilder’s lifetime. Aberdeen contributes five to the big crowd in Washington this week. The Shriner’s Special on the Seaboard was stopped at Aberdeen on Monday and five local Shriners taken aboard for the National Convention of Shriners to be held in Washington this week. The local Shriners attend ing- are Dr. D. A. Charles, Dr. F. O. Bell, John Fiddner, Qrady Burney and Eldon Adams. Bethesda church is making plans for an interesting church festival to be held the first Sunday in July at old Bethesda church just outside of Aberdeen, the cradle of Presbyterian- ism in all this section. It is planned to hold an old time service and con- it just as it was conducted in that identical building fifty years ago. Ail the members of the church in old en time will be induced to come from far and wide, which will make it a notable reunion. Every feature about the service will conform to olden times, just as nearly as possible. The organ will be dispersed with, and an oM time member will bring his tuning fork, and will “hist the tune.” The pastor will read a line of the hymn, the congregation will sing it, when the pastor will again give out another line and so on until the hymn is finish ed. The Pilot will bring further par ticulars as the event draws nearer. The Sandhill Kiwanis held their i*egular meeting and luncheon in the <iining room of the Aberdeen Hotel last Thursday.. Good speaking and entertainment featured the occasion. Dr. E. M. Medlin, our new dentist, with Mrs. Medlin spent Sunday in Raleigh. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Miss Eugenia Brantley, of Aberdeen to George Moser, of Raleigh, N. C. The ceremony was performed The excavation for the Farrel house on Poplar street is now com pleted, and as soon as brick arrives, the foundation will be completed. It will not be long till a $12,000.00 house will grace the premises here. Mrs. C. S. McArthur and two chil dren returned home Monday from a three week’s visit at Guilford College with her parents. Mr. McArthur joined them for the week-end and brought them back. Lee Pickier has bought of H. S. Green his residence on Poplar street adjoining L. L. Johnson’s. The deal was consummated Tuesday. Mr. Green will move out to his farm on the Pee Dee Road, and will give this all of his attention in the future. Mrs. Keith attended the 50th An niversary of Peace Institute last week in connection with the reunion of her class. The festivities lasted the big gest part of the week. Katharine Koodman, of Raleigh, is visiting with her aunt, Mrs. H. A. Keith, and is improving her visit by attending Chautauqua. Mrs. J. C. Adams of Linden is visit ing Mrs. E. J. Macon. The fire extinguishers placed in va rious garages and business houses here sometime ago have been put to their first test. Last Tuesday morn- (Continued on page 6) THE PINEBLUFF WATER EQUIPMENT IN TRANSIT available to start with the erection of the first house, and a loan of $2,- 000.00 was furnished to Cecil Farrell, the local grocer, just recently mar ried. Mr. Farrell experienced a little difficulty in straightening out title irregularities on two lots which he had bought shortly before, as the Building and Loan Association is very exacting on this point. However, all the title difficulties are now out of the way and the foundations for the first building and loan house in Pine- bluff are completed. Contractor 1,. G. Wylie has the work in charge, and he hopes to have the house completed in a very short while. With house No. 1 started, Pinebluff is hoping that sufficient funds will be accumu lated to put another house into the town through the agency of the build ing and loan before the expiration of the year. W. D. Shannon, our plumbing and heating contractor, has just been ad vised that he was awarded the plumb ing and heating contract on the new $40,000.00 Country Club to be erected at Southern Pines. This makes the second big prize that Mr. Shannon has landed in a very short time, the other being the installation of the plumbing and heating in the new con solidated school building now in course of erection in Aberdeen, evening At the Baptist church, June 10th, Sabbath school at 11:30 a. m.. Com munity Prayer Service at 7:30 p. m., and Prayer meeting at 7:30 p. m. on Thursday evening. On June 3rd, Rev. George Sloan re turned to his former charge with the M. E. church as supply during the vacation period, the Baptist congr?pa- tion joining the Pinebluff community in supporting the supply. Rev. Sloan is an earnest Christian man and preaches the word of God with power. Mr. John Adams returned from his northern trip much sooner than he expected to, a wiser man by his ex perience. He will begin to build his brother Albert’s new house in South ern Pines as soon as the material is ready. Mrs. Nellie Mayhew and her friend, Mrs. Tarbor have rented the Fletcher Pierce cottage and will enjoy the watermelon season in the sunny south. Mrs. Mayhew, who is an old resident of Pinebluff, was accompani ed south by her neice, Mrs. Ceor9,e M. Rich, of Boston, Mass., with whom she makes her home. Mrs. Rich is of a very pleasing personality and was I very much pleased with Pinebluff. The town commissioners have just , other daces but received advices that the new water , t^at Pinebluff has the finest tank and other pumpmg eqipment | location at all. have been put in transit. In the YOUNG m ACCIDENTAUY SHOT AND KILLED NEAR CANERON A GREAT SHOCK Childrens’ Day Exercises at Presby terian Church Very Interesting— Rural Letter Carriers Meet Boy Scouts Busy Cleaning Out Lake—Building & Loan Starts Building— Local Items A tragedy occured Saturday after noon at the home of Mr. Adkins on route 2 when Cliff Carlisle, a youth of sixteen was accidentally shot and killed. The young man was in a room with another boy, a relative. They opened a suit case in which was an automatic. The Carlisle boy pick ed it up, when it discharged in some manner, killing him. The Childrens’ Day exercises at the Presbyterian church Sunday was very pretty and very interesting. The altar was beautifully decorated.. Much credit is due Mrs. J. D. McLean and Miss Vera McLean for the success of the entertainment. The Rural Letter Carriers Associ ation of Moore, Lee and Montgom ery counties met in Cameron last week. A fine looking and intelligent body of men. As follows their names and routes: N. A. Clark, Archie Blue, Jackson Springs; A. J. Black, Can dor; D. J. McLeod, Biscoe; John W. Monroe, Eagle Springs; Virgil A. Kidd, McConnell; N. T. Blue, Thag- gard; Alonzo Blue, J. M. Barrett, Carthage; J. R. Sloan, Broadway; J. W. Johnson, Cumnock; E. B. Cole, T. C. Riddick, Sanford; Watson, San ford; W. 0. Yarborough, Jonesboro; W. L. Robertson, Jonesboro; F. P. Womack, W. C Spivey, L. F. Hartsell, Cameron.

Joe Harrington, an industrious and likeable young man, who is right hand man for H. P. McPherson, was arrested and fined Monday for speed ing with a truck in which he hauled THE TOBACCO GROWERS’ FIGHT FOR ASSOCIATION meantime the work of laying founda tions and building the necessary structures is being rapidly proceeded with, and it will not be long till Pine bluff will be served by its new water system. The outgoing commission ers turned over the completion of the water works system to the newly elected commissioners Monday night, and they will at once take hold and push the work along. It was at first expected that the new town commissioners would as sume office last Thursday night. Be cause of the fact that the old board could not complete its audit, the event was postponed till Monday night. The new officers are men of standing in the community, and the town hopes for much from them. The Boy Scouts under the direction of commissioner J. Vance Adams, are cleaning out the lake and putting it in shape for summer bathing and swim ming. The boys are filling big bur lap sacks with sand and patching up the dam. Hard work, but the fun ahead makes it an easy task. Mention was made in these col umns sometime ago of the fact that a Pinebluff branch of the Aberdeen Building and Loan Association had been perfected under a working ar rangement giving the town of Pine bluff all the benefit in loans for the money coming out of it on stock sub scribed to by the people of Pinebluff. Quite a number paid up their stock in full and almost immediately after the organization enough funds were dewberries to the station. Mr. Mc Pherson is thinking of placing his truck on the race track next year. This should be a warning to the many car speeders we have in town, and cars that are seen without lights. On Sundays we have quite a number of speeders of both races. The first picking of dewberries be gan Monday, and two heavy carloads were shipped. Mrs. B. J. Smith and granddaughter Miss Sallie Maud Lancaster, of Vance- boro, arrived Tuesday evening for a visit to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McLean, Rev. and Mrs. J. O.
