NEW SCHOOL DORMITORY AT BENP COHPLETED Charles Matheson Dead—^New Pres byterian Church. Much Admired —General News FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1923 The trustees of Elise high school met here on Wednesday, November 14, to inspect the new dormitory. They were delighted with the building, and made arrangements for its completion and the purchase of furniture. The furniture is to be a gift of the Wo mans Auxiliary of Fayetteville Pres byter iai. It was decided to have the opening of the new dormitory on Wed nesday, January 2nd. At 11 a. m. a program will be given, followed by a dinner. In the afternoon, a reception will be held in the new dormitory. Full particulars will be given later. All those interested in Elise high school are invited to be present on this occasion. Mrs. Chas. Rankin and Miss Sara Williams, of Fayetteville, were here on Wednesday to attend the trustee meeting. Others from out of town were N. J. Clark, Eagle Springs; M. C. McDonald, West End; J. C Mc Queen, Lakeview; John Kennedy, Cumnock;‘Rev. C. E. Clark, and Dr. Gilbert McLeod, Carthage. Mr. Bruce Cameron, and the new Presbyterian minister, of Pinehurst, Rev. George Hanna, called at the Wil son home on Saturday. Pineehurst Presbyterian church is certainly to be congratulated on having secured such a pastor as Rev. Mr. Hanna. We wel come him to Moore county and to Fayetteville Presbytery. Mr. Hanna is a Tar Heel, born and bred, but has been in the North for some years. He has been pastor of the 2nd U. P. church, Negley and Stanton Avenues, East End Pittsburgh Pa., pastor of a Philadelphia, Pa. church, and came here from Crawfordsville, Iowa, so he is a man of wide experience, sound faith, progressive ideas and gneial character. His wife (who was Miss Whitesides,of Gastonia), is with him, also one daughter. After December 1 they will be at home to their friends at the Presbyterian Manse, Pinehurst. Quite a number from here went to hear Rev. Wm. Black, of Charlotte, at Eagle Springs last week. Mr. Black is an excellent preacher, and had a fine meeting. There were 37 professions. During the meeting an interesting fact was discovered—that Eagle Springs has been a Presbyteri an preaching point since 1794. Mr. Black visited the McDuffie sisters. Misses Anna and Christine, who are both over 100 years old, and who were happy to join with him in singing an old-time hymn. These old ladies are marvellous, with their good, clear minds and keen interest in present- day affairs. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Shields spent Sunday in Eagle Springs. Miss Virginia Brown is recovering from a severe attack of tonsilitis. Prof. J. D. McLeod, principal of Elise high school, has been the recipi ent of many congratulations this week on the birth of a daughter, on Thurs day, November 15. The baby weighed 9 1-2 pounds and has been named Martha McDonald McLeod. Mrs. Mc Leod and the baby girl are both do ing well. Miss Elizabeth Kelly, of Eureka, is in attendance. Rev. C. E. Clark, of Carthage, with Messrs. Martin and Will Blue, were here on Saturday to inspect the Pres byterian church, which is being built here. They liked it so well that they think of using the same plan for the new Eureka church. Miss Ruth Wilson, a student at N. C. C. W., spent the week-end with her sister, Miss Katharine E. Wilson at Chapel Hill. Miss K. E. Wilson is a student in the graduate school of the University. Mr. Charles Brown, who was very ill for some time in the Sanford Hos pital, came home on Sunday. Mr. Charles Matheson died very suddenly at his home in Bensalem township after an illness of less than a week. Mr. Matheson was a man who was universally esteemed for his quiet, exemplary life; he was a faith ful member of Bensalem Presbyterian church for many years. Mr. Eyander Matheson, county recorder, is his brother. The funeral services were held on Tuesday at Bensalem church by Rev. R. E. Matheson, pastor of Jackson Springs church, as Mr. Wil son was compelled to go to Fayette ville to Presbytery. TEACHERS’ MEETING Mr. Jule B. Warren, secretary of North Carolina Teachers’ Assembly, will address the teachers of Moore county at 1 p. m.| Saturday, Novem ber 24th, 1923, and we are also ex pecting Prof. Meyer and Prof. Zehmer, of the Extension Depart ment of the University. Other matters of importance will be on the program. We want every school man and woman to be here. It is important that YOU be here. If you have business to attend to or shopping to do, come in time to get through with that before the meeting hour. NEW GAME LAWS for MOORE COUNTY The Important Sections of Which Will Be Found in the Following Article. Because of the good hunting lands in this county sportsmen have been at tracted here; also many of our na tives have an increasing desire for sport.

The first one to be tried out is to be operated between Grreensboro and Aberdeen, mail to ar rive in Greensboro by 3 p. m. so that mail orders received by Greensboro merchants can be filled the same day. Quoting the Daily News: “Interest particularly centered in the report of W. H. Spradlin, of the American Exchange National Bank, and chairman of the committee inves tigating the feasibility, of jitney trans portation. Following Mr. Spradlin’s report the meeting voted to write a letter to Congressman W. C. Ham- nier, Asheboro, in an effort to have him bring pressure to bear towards establishment of jitney mail transpor tation between Greensboro and Ashe boro and Aberdeen.” Mr. Spradlin’s report stated that mail to Greensboro from Aberdeen and Asheboro mailed in the morning must go to High Point and be re routed and will not reach this city un til the stores are closed, whereas if transported by jitneys it will get here by 3 o’clock the same afternoon, per mitting orders to be filled the same day. This would divert many orders to Greensboro merchants that now go elsewhere, it was pointed out, because the merchants at those points can fill them the day received. It is planned to establish jitney mail transportation on other routes, but Mr. Spradlin’s report stated that he had been advised it is best to establish one line at the time, and the Aberdeen-Asheboro route is believed to be the most im portant.” The Wattean Girls— Camer on, N. C., Fri day night, NOVEMBER 24 The Kiwanis Club at a full meeting last Thursday launched overtures to ward the erection of a modern hospit al in the Sandhills, it being under stood that the same is to be located conveniently accessible to Aberdeen, Southern Pines and Pinehurst. All of the doctors were invited to be pres ent at the Kiwanis Luncheon, and all of them were called upon to express their sentiments for or against the plausibility of the proposition. All of them endorsed the movement and each strongly pledged his support. Each of them were just as emphatic in their recommendation to making this hospital one of not less than thirty- five bed capacity, in order to insure its upkeep. Leading business men were then called upon to give their opinion as to whether or not the plan was feasible at this time and how best it might be put in motion. The sentiment for it was wholehearted from them also. The first gun being fired, the ques tion was then referred to the Public Affairs Committee of the Kiwanis Club to work out definite propositions for a financing campaign to be sub mitted to the Club at its next lunche on. It was stressed by doctors and lay men alike that here in the Sandhills where we have everything making for the comforts and the pleasures of life —superbhotels, excelling golf courses and luxurious club houses,—^we have overlooked to provide for community emergencies. In the opinion of some of the speakers, it is a reflection on the community to provide all these other things and neglect providin;^ this one essential.

CHARLIE MATHESON DIES AT HIS HOME IN BENSALEM Mr. Charlie Matheson died of pneu monia at his home near Hemp Sunday aiiommg, and was buried at Bensalem church Tuesday. Mr. Matheson was the son of the late Kennie Matheson From Carteret and other counties of eastern Carolina come reports of damage from corn weevil. Franklin Sherman, chief in entomology for the State College and Department of Ag riculture, advises that many reports of damage have been sent in this fall and that during 1921 and 1922 he also received numerous complaints about the damage done by these pests. Mr. Sherman states that the corn weevil is not a new pest but has been pres ent for many years in the state. “Allowing corn to stand in the field until winter, storing it in husks which are not smooth and tight, in barns and bins which are not tight and cannot be made tight, are all conditions that encourage severe weevil damage,” says Mr. Sherman. He gives the following six sugges tions for controlling the pests: 1.—Harvest the com as early as practical and husk at time of harvest ing. 2.—Look at the corn as husked and separate the badly infested from that not visibly injured. Divide the wag on body into two compartments for the two lots of corn. 3.—Ears visibly infested‘should be given a quick knock or jar to rid them of weevils and then put in their sep arate compartment. 4.—The weevil infested ears may be stored in some convenient place and should be ground, fed or otherwise disposed of, first. 5.—The ears free from weevils should be given the best storage in tight bins, boxes, barrels or other places where they may be fumigated. 6.—Fumigated soon after storage or when the neeed becomes evident, with carbon-bisulphide. Mr. Sherman states that 4 to 6 pounds of carbon-bisulphide is enough for each 1,000 cubic feet of space in the bin or crib. Place the material who died several years ago. Mr. ' ip one or more shallow pans on top of Matheson is survived by one sister and I corn. This fumigation kills the five brother: Miss Anna J., and Messrs |-nse:ts but,not the eggs and another treatine*.t may be needed later to kill the newly hatched weevils.

A SOLDIER S IME^'IORIAL The suggestion from a correspondent last week rela tive to a memiorial for the Moore county soldiers in theJ recent war is bearing fruit. The Pilot has had several offers of money for the purpose, and without any strings except that one man who is always in the front in sucW things said his subscription would proportionate to the> others and that if a sufficient number showed interest he would be amoing the lot who would see the thing puU over. No definite ideas have been advanced as to what the memorial should, be, t^at . matter going over until the scheme crystalizes more definitely... But The Pilot has been advised to go further with giving some publicity* to the plan and get it before the people in more positive) form. Further expressions are invited, and The Pilot will give every po^ible publicity to the movement. Moore county had a big bunch of boys in the army. It is only a deserved bit of credit to them that we see that their record is preserved. Let us have some fur ther suggestions as to an organization to provide this memorial.
