VASS, N. C. FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 192S SUBSCRIPTION 92.00 KIWANIS HELPS BOYS AND GIRLS A Dozen Young Folks are in School by Their Work PROPOSES JACKSON MEMORIAL COLLEGE / At the Wednesday meeting of the Kiwanis Club in Southern Pines, Su perintendent Richard G. Hutcheson, of the Farm Life School, told how the Kiwanis Club is helping boys and girls to attend his school. The club is pro viding the means for about a dozen young folks to get through school, and giving them a chance they would not otherwise be able to secure, and is making of the youngsters useful members of the community society. Mr. Hutcheson laid stress on the work that John R. McQueen and the club are doing, and he also showed the need of further help to other boys and girls who would like to attend such a school as this and fit them selves for desirable places in life blit cannot because they are lacking in the money necessary. He also said that a new department that of commercial instruction will be opened at the next session. He was encouraged by the club members to expect their continued help, and their backing as far as was financial ly possible. One club man said that he figured that the money he was putting into the school help was the best outlay he knew of in his work, and that he expected to carry it on even if he did go broke in other ways. Richard Tufts, the secretary of the club, paid his respects to the strang ers who mutilate the pine trees in their visits to the Sandhills. In a letter to the members he said: “Can you imagine what an abso lutely deserted barren country our own Sandhills would be if it were not for our good friend the Longleaf Pine? To a county of roll ing hills covered with scrubby black jack and tenacious wire grass it adds a certain beauty and charm that draws on our heartstrings more strongly than even the mighty forests of virgin timber which are yearly be ing dismantled in our native land. We therefore owe to our pines a great debt of gratitude, but are we paying ? “At certain seasons of the year our section is infested with vagrant au- toists, going to or from Florida or journeying here to see our peach or chards. These folks we are always glad to welcome—BUT, this cordial feeling stops most abruptly for those thoughtless jezebels who recklessly strip our roadsides of their crowning glory, the Longleaf Pine. If you will take the trouble to look closely the next time you pass through a grove of ten-year-old pines, you will see a surprising number of broken stubs standing as mute testimony of a growing life which was wantonly sacrificed in order to decorate for a few hours the rusty sides of some rheumatic Ford. “We have talked of planting young pines, an act for which future gener ations would always bless us in their memories, but what are we going to do about saving those few young pines we now have ? Fortunately more ma ture trees are safe from harm, but with our slow growing Longleaf, it is no exaggeration to say that at the present rate of vandalism we shall soon have nothing but stunted remains with which to replace the older trees as we lose them.” Judge Way was called on to lecture on open-work shoes, and he said the doctor had told him ventilation was an essential of health, so he commenc ed by ventilating his understanding, and that if he got results he might continue with the rest of his apparel if the police do not take a hand. The progress of his medical experiment will be watched with much interest. Charlie Picquet, Paul Dana and Frank Buchan were appointed a com mittee to arrange for the coming of the district convention of Kiwanis clubs which meets in Pinehurst begin ning November 5, About i;00 dele- (Contintied on jiage 8) To the Editor: Having been a life long admirer of the famous Christian General and Statesman, Gen. Thomas Jonathan (“Stonewall”) Jackson and believing him to be, as indeed a majority of Americans do, one of the outstanding men of our country, I am deeply in terested in any movement to perpetu ate his memory through an appro priate and suitable memorial. The fact that I have not seen in the papers or books any mention of any attempt having been made to start a movement toward the erection of a Stonewall Jackson Memorial Col lege, prompts me to write to ask if such a memorial has not been consid ered and if not your idea as to the practicability of it. I note such mem orials have been erected in memory of other famous generals and states men, and it occurs to me that no more fitting tribute could be paid by the American people to one of its most famous generals than a Stonewall Jackson Memorial College erected in one of the Southern States. I will be very grateful to you for space in your paper for this letter. I am. Yours very truly, W. EARL HOPPER. West Long Branch, N. J. COUNTY COMMISSOINERS MET LAST MONDAY MISS McQUEEN RETURNS To The Pilot: Please announce through your paper that I have returned to my work af ter having a vacation. I had calls while away, and this will explain why I did not answer. Thanking you, I am, Sincerely, MARGARET McQUEEN, Red Cross Nurse. DR. J. A. LESLIE Another of the pioneer settlers of the town. Dr. Leslie, a native of Holly Springs, came to Vass in the early days, bought a farm, and erected a beautiful home one mile from the rail road, and from that time until his death in 1918 was one of the promi nent business men of the town. He engaged in the mercantile business for many years. Before coming to Vass, he had taken a course in medi cine, but had found that he did not care to make the practice of this pro fession his life work. However, he was ever ready to minister to the needs of the sick of his community, and his knowledge and willingness to serve proved a great blessing to the community before the coming of a resident physician.

GETTING WELL OF TUBERCULOSIS North Carolina Offers Unusua Facilities in Climate and Sanatoria NAW! PINTS The following is an item found on our desk. We don’t know who the author is, and therefore we don’t vouch for its truth: When I was up in the mountains once, I came onto an old prospector standing just outside a cave. He told me he just found a treasure hidden inside. “What is it?” I asked. “Quartz?” “Naw” he wispers, “pints.” FAMOUS PICTURE TO BE SHOWN PINEHURST First of All the Great Motion Pictures Coining to the Sandhills Americans first super film spectacle will reassert its claim to be still un surpassed after ten years when “The Birth Of A Nation” appears at the Carolina Theatres Friday and Satur day. The great Griffith spectacle will once more challenge comparisons with its later competitors, and there are not wanting those who insist it can do so fearlessly as nothing has yet been filmed that comes near it for sheer dramatic intensity and heart pathos. As in the days when its smashing battle scenes, its thousands of white robed Klansmen rushing to the res cue of those beleagliered in town and cabin, its reproductions of such his toric scenes as Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s Theatre, the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomattox, the fa mous picture will be re-enacted with all the wealth of its national appeal and its magic musical setting. All who have seen it seem to agree with one claim—^that nothing subse quently placed on celluloid has sur passed “The Birth Of A Nation” in power to portray a terrific national (Continued on page 8) A person who has been told by a competent physician that he has tu berculosis must give up work and take treatment, or soon he will have to stop work. Early discovery ant the right kind of treatment taken at once are the most important factors in recovery from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis in the lungs is usual- y chronic, and long drawn out. Sanatorium treatment and proper lome care after leaving the sana torium, and intelligent selection of work, will cure the majority of light and medium cases, and some seeming- y hopeless ones. Six months is generally the shortest time in which a patient may safely be returned to active life. There is no medicine that will cure tuberculosis. Patent medicines claim ing to cure the disease are fakes. Only right living will cure it. If possible, a sanatorium is the place to go in order to get well. But it is not impossible to get well in the patient’s own home, under a good doctor. The principles of the treat ment at home are the same as in a well ordered sanatorium; rest per sistently and systematically taken, fresh air, nourishing food, and care ful supervision of exercise after the patient gets out of bed. When the symptoms of tubercu losis have disappeared the patient must continue to /take care of himself. His disease is not well, but what doctors speak of as an “improved” case. In order to make his arrest a final cure, he must continue to take good care of himself for a number of years. In climate and suitable sanatoria, a person becoming ill with tuberculosis in North Carolina has unusual oppor tunities for cure within his own State. The mountains and the sand hill country offer a wonderful climate for the cure of the disease. The State Sanatorium cares for 182 white patients and 60 colored ones. Guil ford county has a modem, well- equipped county sanatorium; Meck lenburg is building one, and a number of -other counties are planning to build sanatoria.

LEE AND NOORE IN JOINT mnPNENT Forty Boys and Girls in At tendance—Continue Thru Friday On Tuesday afternoon, club boys and girls from Lee and Moore counties met for a joint encampment at Farm Life School. There are forty boys and girls in attendance, the boys being slightly in the majority. County Agent McMahon and Home Demon stration Agent Miss Little of Lee County have charge of the encamp ment. District Agent McCrary, Mr. Sam Kirby of the Extension Division, Herbert L. Seagrove of the Farm Life faculty, and R. G. Hutcheson of Farm Life, are helping with the instruction, for the boys, while Mrs. Plummer of Henderson, Miss Mary Penny of Raleigh, and Mrs. Monroe of Jones boro, are aiding Miss Little in her work with the girls. Regular classes are being held, interspersed with periods of organized recreation. Each afternoon the campers are taken on a field trip in nature study. The camp will continue through Friday morning. The following boys and girls are attending the camp: Misses Elizabeth Hunter, Sanford; (Continued on page 8) When Robert C. Wade, a young awyer living near Danvile, Virginia, wrote a letter to George A. Norwood, prominent Goldsboro banker who ia president of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association, and asked Mr. Norwood to state his position with regrard to the suit which Wade has instituted in Federal court asking for the appointment of a receiver he had lis letter published in the newspapers. Mr. Norwood, in replying to Wade’s request fro resources with which to prosecute the suit, decided to make tiis reply public also in view of the fact that Wade asked, according to newspaper accounts, that the Crolds- boro man get “on one side or the other.” Here is what Mr. Norwood wrote: “I cannot, of course, join you lu your attack in the courts upon the association. You have brought charges of a serious nature against men of character, men of good stand ing and men with responsible po sitions. You have never submitted to me or to the executive committee of the board of directors one particle of evidence to supi>ort your charges. Your suit appears to me to Le de signed to injure the cause of co operative marketing rather than to purge the association’* of the leadership to which you, a non-mem ber, seem so vigorously to object. “I desire in this connection to say very frankly to you that I have had the opportunity to observe your ac tivities against the association prior to the institution of this suit. I can not convince myself that you are act ing for the benefit of the association. I can only conclude that you are de sirous of destroying it. You have stated to the executive committee of the association, in my presence, that you were not a member of the asso- . ciation although you were eligible to membership. I cannot comprehend how a man who has refused to join this association and who has, since its organization, sold his tobacco at auction can be the “disinterested friend” you claim to be. “I would remind you further that upon one occasion when you appeared before the executive committee you exhibited what you represeriterl to be certain petitions and inquiries from two members of the association. You admitted that these members had never seen the papers that they had never paid you any fee, that they had not advanced you any expenses and that they had nev3r agreed to pay you any fee. You confessed that you had approached them and sought em ployment with the promise to them that your. services would cost then nothing. “With these thin;?s in mind, Mr. Wade, I cannot believe that the motives which actuate yo’i now are different from the motives which ac tuated yon then. I, therefore, cannot advise the board to lend you any as sistance as a friend of this associa tion. “As a member of the executive committee of the board, I approve the action taken in 1923 in connection with re-drying. I regarded it then as proper and helpful and I so regard it now.” BIG SCHOOL OFFERS BOARD AND TUITION Ferrum Training school, Ferrum, Virginia, a remarkable institution, offers board and tuition free to those who cannot pay. How this is ac complished: “Old Virginia Never Tires.” Situ ated in a cove of her beautiful Blue Ridge mountains is an institution costing over a quarter of a million dollars.
