S.LI railway to add 3 NEW TRAKS Its Tourist Service this Winter Will Be Better Than Ever Before FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1924 POLITICS vs. PLENTY Three new fast Pullman tourist trains will be added this fall to the service of the Seaboard Air Line Rail way between Northern and Eastern points and Florida resorts according to the new winter schedule announc ed yesterday by passenger officials at the ii’eneral offices here. The new trains will be in addition to the four year-round fast trains over the system to and from the South and will uiFord patrons of the Seaboard, according to officials, a service never before offered by a railroad on the Atlantic seaboard. The new’ 204-mile cross Florida line now rapidly nearing completion will be used in connecting the west coast of Florida w^ith the east coast by Jan uary, and this will make it possible for winter travelers on the Seaboard to make the journey from New York to the West Florida coast with only a one night trip. This new program, officials said, will include the operation of three of the finest fast Pullman trains from New York and Washington to Florida, with through sleeping cars from Quebec, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit Pittsburgh, New York and Washington to Jacksonville, St. Pe tersburg and Miami. The new cross Florida line will af ford a direct through day and night service in each direction between St. Petersburg, Tampa and West Palm Beach. It will be the only line across the southern part of the State, from the Gulf to the Atlantic. A large expenditure for equipment will be made in order to provide the facilities for the increasing demands for accomodations, and officials said the policy of the company would be maintained to give the public unex celled service on its lines. For the first time the Seaboard’s new program will provide for an in ternational through sleeping car ser vice, the first ever operated, between Canada and Florida. The first of the new trains, the Floridian, consisting of coaches, din ers, section, compartment, and draw ing room sleepers and observation cars will leave New York November 17, southbound and the first trip north bound from Jacksonville, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, will start November IT from New York at 9:05 a. m., and reach Florida points during the next day. At Jacksonville the train will con nect with a new fast train, the New Orleans-Florida Limited, leaving Ja-ksonville at 12:30 p. m., and arriv ing in New Orleans the next morning. The All-Florida Special, the second new train, will begin also on Novem ber 18 from New York and Washing ton, carrying through sleeping cars from Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and Akron to Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Camden, in the Carolinas, and for points on the eas! and west coast of Florida. ^'he third of the new trains ir’ the Seaboard Florida Limited, the famous sll-Pullman winter tourists’ special, which will begin operating December 29. This train will be operated on ^ schedule which will permit pas sengers to leave New York on one afternoon and arrive in Jacksonville the next evening. T'be train and the All-Florida Spe cial will operate until the end of the tourist season, the latter part of April. The Floridian, the other new train '^tablished, will operate the year around. 'Officials expect travel to and from Florida resorts this season to be heavi- than ever before, and claim that the services established ample to meet th*‘ situation. Last year demands for ^ccomodations showed a substantial increase over former season and in- ated sufficient prospects to justify outlay necessary to provide thi* ut excelled service established for the coming season.—NorfoIk Va. Pilot. My Pear Mr. Brewer: Find attached some “lines.” Our mutual friend Edwards gives me the happenings of Moore county and Lake- view over the ’phone. He’s a mighty fine boy, and his rating with the Sea board is 100 per cent. “Borst” is al so a real fellow, and your folks should be proud of the station force at Vass. “Politics,” of course will take all the space on the front page from now (?) till the frost is on the pumpkin; and the fodder in the shock ?

While papers reek of politics and nom inees and such, And print a lot of trash that don’t amount to very much; While candidates are howling that the country’s gone to smash. And Pultocrats and trusts and things have gobbled all the cash. Excuse me if I’m out of line and doing any wrong; I’m feeling kind of grateful and I want to sing a song; It’s fifty-seven verses, too, and every one repeats, A merry, singing jingle tune about the good old eats.

He added that he had never been much of a wanderer, and that possibly many of the members had lived in more states than he had ever seen. He was limited in his school facil ities, but ventured into a business school where he gained a considerable familiarity with business procedure, and an opening afforded at Pinehurst brought him in touch with J.

The occasion will be one of instruction, entertainment and amusement, the chief speaker of the meeting being Senator E. D. Smith, of South Carolina, Chairman of the inter state commerce commission, and one of the best informed talkers on co operation in the Uunited States. At a recent meeting at Aberdeen committees were appointed to look af ter the entertainment, with C. W. Spears, of Vass, chairman, and the barbecue and dinner with J. A. Pugh, of Aberdeen, chairman. Strong com mittees were provided for both these purposes, and they are preparing their arrangements with full regard for the vast crowd that is expected. The plan is to make a pretty full day of the affair, commencing in the morning and running well toward night, with everything filled in that gives grounds for interest. A num ber of speakers will take care of the oratory and instruction, while games of various sorts for the children and grown folks will be as continuous as possible. One of the main features will be a horse shoe pitching contest, with a considerable number of play ers from all around the country. The meeting includes the members of both associations in Moore and the counties surrounding, and responses from the invitations indicate a good attendance from all directions. A meeting of the various commit tees will be held at Vass Friday night to prepare the final plans for the big meet. The sentiment among the farmers this year is much more pronounced in favor of the co-operative movement than it has at any time in the past. The prices the associations have been getting for tobacco and cotton have made an impression, while the way the tobacco market is starting off this fall looks good to those both inside and outside. The tone around the co operative m-^rket houses in Vass and Abe^’deen is encouraging, and co-op- G 'ation is accepted now as a relief for t’ e farmers and a promise of much be'ter results in the future than they have had from farming in the past. Tbe tobacco crop this year in this '•ec4on seems to be much better than last season and the quality is lighter. The prices are better. The outlook is good.

We feel very grateful to the teach ers of the county for the interest they have taken in this work. Had it not been for their untiring efforts the pro ject would either have fallen through or the financial responsibility would have fallen very heavily for a few. We feel sure that none of the peo ple have suffered financially on ac count of what they have contributed to this work, and yet the children have been greatly benefitted. We are counting on the schools which haven’t contributed helping us out on . the home run so that we may all rejoice together in this wonderful achieve ment.
