V0LU9S 4 NUMBER 4 Is a Paper Devoted to the Upbuildingof the Sandhill Territory of North Carolina Address all communications to the pilot printing company. VAS3. N. C. vnother musical treat FOR SANDHILLS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1923 While in point of numbers the au dience that greeted Charles Hackett, in his recital last week was not all could be desired there is no question that in enthusiasm it equall ed any audience that ever gathered in the" Sandhills. AVhen an artist is called back for two enchores after ‘his final number on a program that had consumed an hour and a half of singing, it speaks volumes for the popularity of the singer and for the appreciation of his hearers. The recital of Charles Hackett was a real event which met with such linanimous approval by those who ^vere so fortunatt as to attend it that \ve have decided, in spite of the finan cial loss of this first experiment, to tr it again, and it is with much pleasure that we announce a joint re cital by Renato Zanelli, the emminent voiing Metropolitan Opera Baritone, and Lionel Tertis, the world’s great est Viola soloist, on Friday, January 11. Zanelli Discovered by Caruso It is interesting to note that it was none other than the late lamented Enrico Caruso who was really re sponsible for the engagement as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company of Renato Zanelli, the splen did baritone. After scoring a notable operatic success in South American cities, Zanelli obtained a special audition with Caruso in Buenos Aires. The famous tenor at once recogniz ed ihe great possibilities that lay in the voice and personality of the young baritone and advised him to proceed to New York and try the Metropoli tan Opera Company. Upon arrival in this country, Zan elli met Andres de Segurola, the Me tropolitan basso. De Segurola took an immediate interest in the talented Chilean and gave hime the finishing touches for the great work he aspired to do. Within a short time a four- year contract was signed to sing at the Metropolitan. Lionel Tertis a “Shining Light” Lionel Tertis, the gifted Viola so loist, who will appear with Zanelli is, without question, the greatest Viola soloist in the world today. He recently appeared with the Am sterdam Orchestra under the leader ship of Mengelberg. The critic of “Het Vaderland” paid him the fol lowing tribute: “Mr. Tertis does more than have a sovereign command over the technical resources of his in strument. He makes it sing, weep, draws a picture, declaims a man with noble, consumate sentiment, and is a supreme artist on this instrument so seldom met with in solo. Soloists on this instrument are ex ceedingly scarce and amongst them Tertis is a shining light. His tone is noble and big. I have referred al ready to his technique and interpre tive powers. They are of a tip-top artist. The former culminated in the marvellous cadenza (what double and triple stopping!) We are most thankful to have made the acquaintance of such a viola play er, who was received by the audi ence most cordially, and recalled with warmth several times. These two great artists will appear on the same program at the Carolina Theatre, Pinehurst, on Friday, Janu ary nth. Subscriptions for tickets or guaran tees will be appreciated any time.

I saw more silver dollars on the coast in two months than I have seen in North Carolina in seven years. The cause of this is quite beyond me; tho there is doubtless a civic reason, if I were only an expert in the science of finance. We know that hard times- bring a surplus of one dollar bills, and that when money is plentiful there is a dearth of subsidiary change; but here again I am at a loss to find an ex planation, but there is a reason for this, also. I banter the philosophers of The Pilot’s clientele to decipher this mystery. I believe my good friend Atlas Phillips can give a plaus ible reason; for I am frank to admit that he has a plausible explanation for almost every mystery in nature— and they are almost always convinc ing. But I am away in the rear of my subject, for my last closed with our arrival at Lake Louise, in British Col umbia, long after we had left the Pacific coast; and we are here af fronted with Canadian paper curren cy, subject to a discount of 4 per cent when exchanged for good United States money. The Cha'^eau at Lake Louise is a large wood structure, built by piece meals, as the place grew in populari ty. It is built about three hundred feet from the foot of the Lake; and they tell us that in the winter time the snow lies foity feet deep in the door yard, and a Swiss from the Alpse, in the neighborhood of the Matter horn, is kept on the place to keep the snow from the roof, for this great weight of snow would crush in the strongest roof that could be built. The Lake is a fine sheet of water about a mile by a mile and a half in extent and is fed by the glaciers that appear hove the lake on Mount Vic toria. The water is of a greenish hue, and is so cold that no fish can live in it except a scrimpit mountain trout, and these in only limited numbers. The water is so deep it has never been sounded. The glacier back of the lake on Mount Victoria is five hundred feet deep, and covers an area as large as Moore county. Looking at this gla cier from the hotel porch, the sight is gorgeous beyond description. As the sun reflects from side to side of this great iceberg, the beholder is entranc ed, and the sight is so grand that one would not be at all surprised to see Elijah in his Chariot of Fire, rising out of the midst, and dropping his earthly mantle into the chasm below. We spent a Sunday at Lake Louise, for it is forty miles to the nearest village. We walked round three sides of the lake, and saw, among other wild animals, what we thought was a badger, but when we reported it a more knowing man went to see our badger, and reported it a marmot (whatever that is). The table fare at Lake Louise is most excellent, but the place is own ed and operated by the Canadian Pa cific railroad, and they just hold you up, nd take all the money you have. The charges are very much higher than they are on the Pullman dining cars; but even at that, it is well worth the price. We left Lake Louise about seven o’clock on Sunday night ovct the Ca nadian Pacific railway down the East ern slope of the Rocky Mountains through the town of Banff, which is surrounded by glaciers quite as gor geous as those of Lake Louise, but it was in the night time when we passed them, and of course, did not see these wonderful sights. * Our route lay through the town of Medicine Hat, said to be the coldest place in North America, and is the town where the North American weather service reckons all cold weather frpm. We also passed thri| tlie town of Moose Jaw. But before 'getting so far east I ought to give iny readers a paragraph or twp abput thp ■Canadian Pacific Railwa:^.

HEMP NEWS Excavation for foundations for a brick store building on the lot owned by W. C. Brown next to the hardware store, is going forward and the build ing will be erected at once by F. C. Crutchfield. When completed it will be occupied by a branch drug store of Charles Cole & Co., of Carthage. Hemp has long needed a drug store, and we are grateful to W. C. Brown for erecting a suitable building. Most of the furniture for the Ar- rowood dormitory came last week. The rooms are being furnished by the aux iliaries of Fayetteville Presbyterial and the ladies will have good reason to feel proud of the substantial, hand some furniture their money is pur chasing. Not all the rooms have been taken and any one who wishes to have a suitable memorial to a loved one gone before, could not do better than to give $50 for one of these rooms to be used by girls who are in train ing for Christian service. A ministrel show will be given on Saturday night, December 15th in the Elise high school auditorium. The show is bright and funny, and any one who comes will laugh his troubles away. In addition to this the world- renowned performer on the Musical Saw, Prof. Josephus Snodgrass, form erly of Greensburg, Pa., will be pres ent and give selections on the Musi cal Saw and violin. This is a most unusual and interesting attraction, fullV worth the price of the show. Friends here were interested to hear of the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Slack, of Seagrove, last week. He is ’^amed for his great-uncle, Gil bert McLeod, and we hope he will make as fine and good a man as Dr. G'ibert McT eod, of Carthage. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Rowe entertain ed as week-end guests, Mr. and Mrs. Ross S. Huitt, of Newton, and Mr. Robert Lit‘‘Je, of Claremont. Rev. T-.

A large crowd attended the services and all derived benefit. We hope these folks will come again. Guests at the Wilson home on Sun day were Rev. and Mrs. G. E. Hanna, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Cameron, of Pine hurst, Miss McLeod and Mrs. Frye. Clarence Smith and familv, of Star, spent Sunday at Mr. Duke’s home. Messrs. Dewey Williamson and Jef fries visited at the Davis home on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Leach visited the Beck home on Sunday. Mrs. Murdoch Kelly and son, Orrin, of Carthage, visited Mrs. C. A. Pre- vost, Jr., last week. We are glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Dupree, of Pinehurst, as per manent residents of Hemp. HOUSE CATCHES FIRE Mr. and Mrs. H. S. McLean, of Lakeyiew, ask The Pilot to extend to the citizens of Lakeview their thanks for saving their liome frohci fire last Sunday. Bfr. and Mrs. McX^an were attending ciiurch in Vass, and did not knoyf^of the fxi: until they reached Lakeview services. The fire C/irigrinated on the roof near the qhizon'^^y. SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 RECORD RECEIPTS AT CO-OP HOUSES More tobacco of the 1923 crop reach ed the warehouses of the Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative Association last week than at any time this sea son. Steadily increasing deliveries by the organized tobacco farmers brought the marketing association exactly 8,- 948,973 pounds of tobacco last week, according to the reports of the ware house department. Members of the marketing associa tion in Eastern North Carolina who will be the first to receive cash pay- nients from the three million dollar distribution of the association which begins its third advance on the 1922 crop next week, are increasing their deliveries, the association having re ceived up to within one and a half mil lion pounds as much of the 1923 crop in the east as the total deliveries of 1922 from that section. Old belt co-ops who will receive a third advance on their 1922 deliveries on January 10th, last week delivered close to six and a half million pounds of bright tobacco to the co-operative houses, this with a million and a quarter pounds of dark-fired and sun- cured tobacco delivered in Virginia brought the total of the Virginia and Western Carolina growers for last week to over 7,500,000 pounds. All bright markets of the associa tion in North Carolina and Virginia will close on December 20th and re open on January 8th. All markets of the association for dark and sun- cured tobacco will close December 20, and open January 2nd, according to the latest announcement from head quarters.* Secretary Henry A. Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington, emphasized the importance of co-operative marketing in his annual report to the president. Secretary Wallace stated: “If farmers could control their production as does or ganized labor, unusual action by gov ernment might not be demanded so urgently. It is just as well to keep in mind that both industry and labor are beneficiaries of government action, and that such action during the war and two years following has added not a little to the farmer’s difficulties. PINEHURST NEWS On Friday the 7th, the Pinehurst- School formally opened their lunch room and begun serving hot lunches to the children at school at a very nominal cost. Mrs. Bruce Cameron is chairman of this work which insures the success of the undertaking from a nutrition as well as a financial standpoint. Soups, candies, fruits sandwiches, cakes, and other substan tial food will be served each day. It is with sincere regret that we learn of the resignation of Miss Nora Bradford as county demonstration agent for Moore county. Miss Brad ford has been in Moore county for al most two years and has done most effeclive work in all educational de partments of the county work. Miss Bradford is a graduate of the Wo mans College at Greensboro, and is well qualified for the most responsi ble position in the educational depart ment of the Genesee Pure Food Co., of Philadelphia, which she goes to fill. The Wednesday afternoon matinee at the fair ground was a splendid success. There are more than 100 horses wintering in the race stables at Pinehurst. Mr. R. Pyron, Mrs. Pyron, Mrs. Sam Jones and Mrs. J. V. Slocock spent Saturday afternoon in Troy. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Picquet had as their dinner guests, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Dana, Monday evening. Mrs. Sam P. Jones, of Cartersville, Ga., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. R. Pyron, in the Franklin Flats. While in Pinehurst Mrs. Jones is receiving many social attentions. On Sunday Mrs. Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Pyron were the guests at Sarnarcand Manor of Miss Agnes Me Waugh tn in her beai^tiful home just completed. On Thursday, the 13th, the second of the series of Silver Teas, given by the Indies auxiliary was held at the residence of Mrs. Dan Hall. It was a delightful occasion and a large num ber of women called during the hours of the tea. Christmas gifts from the Mission Schools as well as cakes and candies were sold. Polo Friday afternoon at the polo field between the Sandhill No. 1 team and the Winston-Salem Reds will be one of the distinctive features of the week. Pinehurst Berkshire Farms and Mr. Wall and Miss Bradford were suc cessful Tuesday with the meat demon stration, and the program was indeed an instructive one from beginning to end to the farmers and club boys and girls who attended. The government expert, as well as State specialist present were “on their job,” and from the slaughtering of the hogs to the smoking of the meat and stuffing of the sausage, and only the most effec tive methods, as well as the simplest, were used. The lunch served at noon was delicious and the sausage used was a sample of Pinehurst pure-food product, the all pork sausage that is in such demand all over Moore county. 1
