Line; Work S'arted on Ifighway 70 The Drowning Creek Bridge which has been under construction- for nearly a year due to the handicaps in the way of the co-i.rzctor there, is finally com pleted. N. L. Teer threw it open to traffic Wednesday of last week. The Mayfield Construction Company who have been building the bridge across Little River finished their task this week and that bridge is now also open for traffic. This same company now has under construction two more bridges this side of the Lee county line and they hope to have these com pleted within three months. Meantime other contractors to the north are completing their contracts and soon the highway will be a completed job and there will be nothing in the way to interrupt travel, particularly the tourist travel. The Highway Commission is now busy on building that section of High way No. 70 from Aberdeen to Candor. At places it leaves the old road en tirely. The same policies of highway engineering and road construction are being followed as on the other high ways built by the Commission. At Pinehurst an underpass will be built under the Norfolk-Southern railroad and it is contemplated to move the railroad itself three quarters of a mile away from its present location; at least the depot and express office will be situated three quarters of a mile away from their present sites. New crews and new equipment are constantly arriving and this week the the contractor began on the stretch of road to be built between Vina Vista and Aberdeen. All of the stretch between Pinehurst and Aberdeen will be completed before the opening of the tourist season. KIWANIS REPORT FROM CON VENTION at WRIGHTSVILLE COTTON AND COTTON CO-OP NEWS Interview With District Co-op Repre sentative Says This District Growing Fast in Membership T. D. McLean, District Representa tive of the Co-op Cotton Growers As sociation for_ Moore, Richmond, Hoke and other adjoining counties reports a revived interest being taken by the farmers towards becoming members of the Association. He was in Ral eigh at State headquarters Thursday of last week and up to then about 150 contracts from new subscribers had been received that week. Moore and Richmond counties are well represent ed in the new membership. While in Raleigh, Mr. MeLean made the acquaintance of two Englishmen who represented large cotton mill in terests in England. These gentlemen had watched the growth of the co operative movement at a distance and had concluded that it would be a per manent thing, and that now would be the time to lay the foundation in per fecting a system toward buying cot ton for their mills direct from the as sociation, eliminating all factors and brokers entirely. They predicted that the day would come when cotton would be bought at inland points at an F. O. B. price and transported by the textile interests themselves to port. They were over here this time merely to study the situation and to fathom out ways and means to touch direct with the various State Co-ops. Be fore leaving this country they will stop at each State Co-op headquarters and also go to all the principal cot ton producing sections in all States. These gentlemen from England are also trying to accomplish the growing of a more uniform staple through the agency of the Co-operative Associa tion. They suggested that the Asso ciation recommend the using of cer tain seed that will best accomplish this end. Speaking of the prospects for the present yearns crop, Mr. McLean says that his general observation is that cotton in the sandy soils is producing a better stalk and fruiting better than the cotton in the clay sections. He is speaking, of course, from his obser vations made along the highway. The damage from the weevil is con siderably greater than was anticipated a few weeks ago. In this there is also a noticeable difference in the various sections in this vicinity. South of Ab erdeen cotton is deteriorating -rapidly the weevil having taken nearly all of the top crop and inflicting very seri ous damage to the young boll. In Scotland county and south of Raeford only a 50 percent crop is expected. Around Aberdeen and north of it the yield will be nearly normal. A. & R. BUILDING WARE- HOUSE AT ABERDEEN PINEHURST SCHOOL T. B. TYSON, of Carthage, president of the Tyson and Jones Buggy Co. ABERDEEN TOBACCO NEWS Warehouses Have Not Yet Announc ed Opening Date—Preparations Being Rushed for Opening For Public Release and Rental—Situ ated Near Its Freight Warehouse At the last regular meeting of the Sandhills Kiwaniis a very compVe- hensive report of the Carolina Ki- wanians annual convention at Wright- sville Beach was given by Secretary Richard Tufts. Kiwanian Richard said in the beginning of his report that he was not going to give a re port of the scheduled program of the convention but rather a resume of the things he had picked out that he thought would most benefit our club. Among other things was the fact that Kiwanis Clubs were working organi zations and not merely luncheon clubs. Reports from other clubs showed that they had always some definite objec tive in view for the benefit of the com munity in which they were located. Committee membership should be con sidered more seriously as upon these committees to a large extent depend the success or failure of a club. The Secretary also had discussed the pecu liar problems of the local club with members from other clubs and gave some very valuable information to the Sandhills Kiwanians in regard to these matters. A directors meeting was called for Jack’s Lunch for Monday night, by the President. Maybe one reason George Washing ton never told a lie is he didn’t live ni a city where they have traffic cops. The Aberdeen and Rockfish railroad is constructing an iron-clad warehouse building of considerable size in order to meet the needs and necessities of the community. Primarilv, of course, it will be used for the handling and storing of products produced in this section prior to shipment, but it will also be used for storage nurposes and the housing of any freight which cannot be at once conveniently hauled and taken care of bv consignees. A building of this kind has long been needed at Aberdeen. ‘Neither the Saunders open ware house, or the Farmers Co-operative Warehouse have as yet announced their opening dates. With B. B. Saun ders, the date is somewhat contingent upon the completion of the Tobacco Prizery and Re-handling Warehouse now under construction on the Allred & McLeod property on South Street and the railroad. The Farmers Ware house date, of course, will be fixed by association headquarters at Richmond, and C. G. Weathersby, the local man ager, has not yet received any inkling of the same. At the Saunders Warehouse altera tions and renovations are being made and an addition is being built to the warehouse in order to accomodate the crop, which is the largest this sec tion has ever produced. Mr. Saunders has completed the selection of his warehouse force from the auctioneer on down. The Farmers Warehouse force will be a new personnel with the exception of Mr. Weathersby, who was here in charge last year. It can be generally said that the farmers east of the S. A. L. are about through curing their crop, but on the other side of the Seaboard, and par ticularly in the Jackson Springs and Carthage sections it will be some three weeks before curing is finished. Work on the new Prizery is start ed in dead earnest. M. S. Weaver, the contractor, has brought his broth- erer, J. H. Weaver, of Johnson City, Tenn., here, who is thoroughly famil iar with the construction of large buildings, to supervise the job. Al ready a force of brick layers are busy putting in the piers, and unless there IS delay in the arriving of materials, the building should be ready for oc cupancy by September 15. With this building. Aberdeen will have market and handling facilities that no other market in this section has, and Aber deen will not only get the tobacco from its surrounding country, but to bacco will come in here from the ter ritories of other markets. COMMUNITY MEETING AT LAKEVIEW There will be a community meeting held in the school house at Lakeview next Tuesday eve ning to discuss the proposed bond issue and colidation of th i schools. Everyone is invited to come out and attend this meeting. You can say this much in favor of dresses the girls are wearing nowa days—they make a girl with shape like a broom handle look as good as one with the sape of a Venus. It has been our observation that women can do a lot of things bet ter than men. A man can’t talk with his mouth full of hairpins. BLOCK DANCE AT SOUTHERN PINiiS LABOR DAY NIGHT Such a genuinely good time was enjoyed by the Sandhills people at the Community Block Dance held at Southern Pines by the Sandhills Ki wanis Club in Juiy that the citizens of the town have decided to scage an other one on Labor Day night, Sep tember 3rd. Through the kindness of General Bowley the Fort Bragg Band Orches tra of ten pieces has been secured to furnish the music for the affair. Har ry Lewis has guaranteed to furnish the corn meal to polish the new Southern Pines pavement and give it the smoothness and snowlike appear ance which combined with the Sep tember moon will make the proper combination for the enjoyment of the dancers. The dance will start with a grand march, as at the first dance. The weather man has promised us fair weather and a full moon so all we need is the crowd. Ye Sandhills dwellers and neighbors from other towns come. Come with out money and without price and join us in our merrymaking. All we ask is that you leave your Essence of Arp at home and dance not unseemly. (Mrs. R. Pyron) The very finest thing about the beautiful, fully equipped new $60,000.- 00 school building in Pinehurst is the fact that there is room enough in it for every child of school age that this school district is expected to serve, and in the mind and heart of the lo cal school board under the leadership of Prof. John F. Cason, the vision of not only a place for every child (where she or he can secure the very best ed ucational advantages the best little State in the Union, as well as the most progressive public spirited county of no mean proportions can offer), but every child occupying that prepared place, where not only the best in them shall be brought out, but conserved, trained and dedicated to present, as well as future citizenship. While it cannot be said that the building of this splendid school was built without the sound of hammer or nails, it can be said that with every plan, even to the selection and pur chase of the beautiful 6-acre lot in the heart of a little village where land is the most priceless of its possessions the only thought given was the ap propriateness for constructive use and not the price, as well as the plans and specifications of each separate depart ment was the culmination of the one thing which makes all things possible in this splendid county of ours. And that one thing is the co-operation of the heart and mind in the citizens of any community. In the first place Pinehurst, N. C., has one of those matchless citizens of whom it was spoken “One can chase a thousand, and two can put ten thou sand to flight,” and this citizen is Leonard Tufts, a man who thinks out the best for those who live among him, and better still stands ready at any time to carry those thoughts, where- ever co-operation can be secured into action, then completion. Mr. Tufts gave one-half of the lot for the school and the county purchased the other half, thereby making it possible to secure the very best as well as the most attractive situation for a school in the state. An adequate school building fully equipped for this school district had long been a dream of Mr. Tufts, who believes in giving to every American boy and girl the equipment thru the public school which will fit them for useful citizenship, and to help make this great desire come to pass, the local school board could not have se cured a man better qualified to lead in this great endeavor than John F. Cason, an educator of no mean ability completing the full course in high school at Hephzibah, Ga., high school from January 1898 to June 1899, re ceived his B. A. degree and extra credit in Philosophy at Mercer Uni versity at Macon, Ga., 1899-1902, and had special course in English Philoso phy and Bible Literature at the Bap tist Theological Seminary, Louisville. Ky. After many years successful teach ing in important educational centers he came to Pinehurst from the High School at Raleigh where he was at the head of the English Department 1920- 1922. That he was an educated Christian gentleman the board of education felt assured, but because of his unusually splendid record in developing the best in the boys where he taught he receiv ed his best commendation for this chosen work and his year just pass ed in the Pinehurst school bears out the truth of this record for in 1922 under State supervision Pine View I from 4th grade up was consolidated I with Pinehurst, also the high school I of Beulah Hill and part of the high school of Ingram Branch, and tho no other grades in these schools were compelled to attend many did so,, vol untarily entering his school. The at tendance increased over 1921-22 from 108 to 236. An unprecedented thing there were more boys than girls in each grade, and although Mr. Bert Wicker did good work as truant offi cer the 121 boys and the 115 girls made the high average of the school atendance possible because Prof. Ca son knew the secret of how to reach, then teach those who were register ed in his school. His system in developing the stu dent body thru exercise of the mental physical, moral and social powers into four square boys and girls is the charm of the school.
