VASS, N. C. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1925 SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 KIWANIS CLUB HAS SEVEN AT EUREKA Paying $500 To Help Deserving Boys and Girls—Dr. Leiby Tells His History The report of the educational com mittee of the Kiwanis club at the Wednesday dinner at Southern Pines brought out the fact that the club is helping seven boys and girls at the farm life school at Eureka, for which $500 is paid annually. It might be added that members of the club are also helping other boys and girls in schools at other places, although that did not come out in the report. One of the features of the dinner was the report of the committee hav ing in hand arrangements for the con vention of Kiwanis clubs at Pinehurst in November, when 500 or 600 visitors will be present, and a series of golf contests will take place. This will be the Kiwanis event of the two states for the year, and crowds will be on hand from all the towns of the two states where clubs are in existence. A large committee went from the club Wednesday night to establish a club in Sanford. As Dr. R. W. Leiby is leaving Aber deen to go to Raleigh where he has been made head of the Department of Entomology of the state he was called on to tell something about himself be fore he goes out into the world as a departing neighbor. He said he was bom 33 years ago in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where the colored folks call you “wie ghets” and the white folks talk a language that is made up of words of various sorts. When four years old he was sent to school, and had to carry a pillow to sit on to reach the desk. But he weathered through school and landed in Muhlenberg col lege, and finally decided to be an ento mologist. His mother looked at him, for she hardly knew whether that was a crime or a mistake, but his practi cal father said it was certain starva tion. But at that the doctor looks reasonably well fed. He later went to Cornell, and later became a member of the state Ento mological service in New York and undertook the first war on insect pests which used oil. The outcome was suc cessful, and it helped give Dr. Leiby an acquaintance that resulted in brinrring him to North Carolina ten years ago and now he heads the de partment he came here to join. The doctor said he did not mind telling some things about himself, but he was afraid to talk too much for fear he might tell those things he did not want to tell, so he made his argu ment short. But the crowd voted that he is all right even if he is backward about confessing it. Then came up that discussion of land speculation which The Pilot seems to have started a few weeks ago, and which Judge Way pushed a little further along last week, and after a little talk about the subject Charlie Mason was instructed to ar range a series of talks by Leonard Tufts, Arthur Newcomb, Judge Way, Bob Page, Sam Richardson, or any others he can catch, and have this thing threashed out, and plans pro vided fo rfurthering the development and marketing of Sandhill resources. Arthur Newcomb read a telegram from Mr. Joyner, the hotel man, say ing things were shaping up and that he would be down in a few days to further plan for the new hotel. automobile races AT SANDHILL FAIR World’s Fastest Cars And Drivers Entered For Fair Week Entries for the Auto Races at the Sandhill Fair show a line-up of real stars of the dirt tracks.

C. October 26, 1925 Mr. Stacy Brewer, Vass, N. C. My dear Mr. Brewer :- As you know, I have two children attending the High School here. For several years, the books they have been using have been so vastly dif- frent from those we used that I have not been able to render them as much assistance in their work as I would like; in fact, these seem to change almost every term. Out of the entire lot in use at the preseent time, I do not recall ever having seen a single one of them before this year. Of course, the time is not far distant when these will be standardized, and the text-book proposition put on a basis that will create a considerable saving, (especially to the man who has a large family) and will enable the older children to be of greater assistance to their younger brothers and sisters. One day this week, my daughter asked me to purchaise an English text-book, giving me the names of the authors and publishers. Being un able to obtain it here, an obliging friend offered to bring it from another town nearby, but was told by those handling text-books there that they had never heard of the book inquired for. So it must be that the same text-books are not being used by other schools in the same county. As far as I am concerned, I would be entirely content to have my children use the editorials in The Pilot for their sttudy of English, and I have a double reason for this. In the first place, from a literary standpoint they contain everything that can be desired. I have never seen better illustration with which to demonstrate the power of the short sentence, and they range from this on to the highest flights of Rhetoric, con taining all the threads of which the web of speech is composed. If my memory serves me correctly, it was the editorial section of your paper that won the silver cup at Blow ing Rock a few years ago, and at these Press Association meetings, (Continued on page 8) METHODIST TO HOLD REVIVAL Rev. Hawkins, of Rockingham, Preaching; J. C. Coston Singer On Sunday evening there will be gin at the Methodist church in Aber deen a revival which promises to be of wide influence. The service will be held each evening at 7:30. Dr. Haw kins who is to do the preaching is well known throughout the Methodist con nection. He has served appointments in Baltimore, Washington, D. C., and Kansas City, and is at present located in Rockingham. We feel sure a great treat is in store for those who attend. The singing will be led by Mr. J. C. Coston of Hendersonville. He is a song evengelist of note, having a very fine tone voice, and his personalities always renders him a favorite with musicians. He has but few equals in his field of service. The pastor, Mr. McWhorter, is very eager to have a large choir, and de sires through The Pilot to invite all the singers of Aberdeen to assist. The meeting is for the entire com munity; all the pastors and their con gregations are invited to participate. It is confidently expected that the citizens from nearby vicinities will at tend. MR, J. C. COSTON, Song Evangelist, who leads the music at the revival next week at the Methodist church, Aberdeen. TALKS ABOUT VASS AT STATE COLLEGE Frank Byrd Tells The Sandhill Club About His Home Town At State College last night the Sandhill Club held a meeting at which three of Moore^s boys were to make talks on their respective towns. Below you will find what Frank Byrd had to say about Vass: “In giving you what seems to be the facts about Vass, I hope to state them fair and as they look to me. I once heard a man say that there was three sides to any question, “your side, the other fellows, and the right side.” I hope to discuss the latter. “First let us look at the business side of Vass. It contains some of the best organized stores in the county. Considering the population of Vass which is around 600 inhabitants the stores carry stocks of goods that on an average supply the public demand better than the average town of this size. This is due to good manage ment that has one aim and that is, service. “Next we have one of the largest and best equipped hotels of any town in the state. The management of this is carried out on a, we serve you plan. In fact it has the best manager now that has ever run the hotel. Mr. Lancaster the manager has a great personality and his whole make up is one of service and friendship. “In turn comes the financial part of olir town, The Bank of Vass. On a whole the bank is the best private establishment to be found. There are plenty of banks that are larger but I have my doubts if there is a bank in any community that has the wel fare of the public more at heart than The Bank of Vass. Mr. D. A. Mc- Lauchlin the cashier and his assis tants do everything in their power to give everyone a fair and square deal. This bank serves more farmers in the way of loans than any other bank its size. Anyone wishing to borrow money will find very little trouble in securing it from The Bank of Vass. “Last but not least comes our printing establishment. The Pilot. There isn’t any heresay about this being the best weekly paper in the state for the cup that it won speaks for itself. The merchants of Vass and other neighboring towns should be 100 per cent strong for The Pilot because through it they can adver tise extensively at a very low cost. To say the least The Pilot is a very valuable asset to Vass and the sur- roXinding community. “Next let us look at Vass from an educational standpoint. The question arises, does Vass believe in better education for the future generation? Yes and no. It has a new $50,000 school building that is well equipped but does the town and the community reap the benefit of the investment? No, from this point of view. Who re ceives the service of those that get their education at this school? Not Vass but other parts of the state. Why? Because the graduates have to go elsewhere to find their field of work. What is the remedy for exist ing conditions? Broaden the field of industry so that the home talent will develop where it should instead of (Continued on page eight) LILLIAN BOYER ACT AT SAHDHM FAR She Is Booked On Condition That She Stays Whole The following excerpt from a letter just received by Secretary Picquet will give our readers some idea of the wonderful act this charming school girl plans to put on the last day of the Sandhill Fair: “Boyer's work is of such a sensa tional nature and so difficult that I am always dubious about her getting thru a season. I have Just watched her at Toronto where she was posi tively the gn*eatest sensation the Can adian National Exhibition ever had, and by the way, if you care to find out first handed just what she did there, wire the Canadian National Ex hibition, Toronto, for an expression from them about her.” We are not so selfish as to express the hope that she will stay altogether long enough to perform at this year’s Sandhill Fair. We do hope that good fortune will always follow her, and that we can be able to book her for many subsequent Sandhill Fairs. SIX TRAINS STOP DAHYJACH WAY Seaboard Gives Southern Pines Good Service—Six Trains Each Way The September schedule of the Sea board gave Southern Pines six trains each way each day, and to these are to be added the Floridian which does not stop in this state except at Ham let, and a couple of others that will be added later in the season. The truth is even the railroad company does not know what its winter sche dule will be, for it is already running some of the trains in two sections, and may have to increase that, and extra trains are beginning to move in the Florida traffic to handle the tre mendous business offered. It is interesting to note that South ern Pines and Aberdeen have more trains to stop than any other town in the state except Hamlet, and all trains stop there as that is a division terminal where engines and crews change. Pinehurst will have increased ser vice under the new schedule, as the growing businss over there is all the time requiring further conveniences for the people who come from both directions, north and south. On this subject John T. West tells The Pilot the following: “Feeling that the people in tho Sandhill Section of North Carolina are anxious to know what kind of train service we are going to establi!^ this year to the great Mid-South Winter resort points, Southern Pines and Pinehurst, I am giving you here with the kind of service that we are going to operate. “Effective with the opening of the Carolina Hotel October 26th, we are starting from New York a daily 10- section, double drawing room sleeping car, first car from New York, through Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash ington—3:10 P. M. October 25th, ar riving at Pinehurst at 8:00 A. M. October 26th. On December 9th, we are also establishing a compartment car daily. New York to Pinehurst, with the first car from New York Decem ber 9th, reaching Pinehurst as above at 8:00 A. M. following morning, and the first car from Pinehurst December 10th. On this same date, December 9th, we are also establishing a 10- section, double drawing room sleep ing car, Washington to Pinehiurst daily on this schedule. “We are handling the Southern Pines-Pinehurst sleepers on our fast trains, the “Carolina Florida Special,” trains 1 and 2, which trains make only three stops between Richmond and Aberdeen. “In addition to these trains serving the Sandhill Section of North Caro lina, we will also have trains 3 and 4 and trains 103 and 104, which trains will carry Boston-Florida sleepers and pass Southern Pines, Southbound, at 7:50 P. M. and Aberdeen at 8:00 P. M. and Northbound pass Aberdeen at 7:51 A. M. and Southern Pines at 8:02 A. M. We feel that with this service we are giving the Sandhill section of North Carolina excellent train service and sufficient sleeping car accommo dations to take care of the increased number of people that we expect to handle to and from these great re sort points. We have always desired and wanted to co-operate with the people in your section of the State of North Carolina, which is traversed by our great Railroad “I have just received advice from Messrs. Creamer and Turner that the Highland Pines Inn will open Novem ber 15th, which is nearly a month ahead of the usual opening time, and wish to state that we will be ready and willing to serve them in taking care of their guests. We are contem plating putting on additional force at both Aberdeen and Southern Pines to handle our passenger situation there, and it is my belief that the season 19- 25-26 will be the biggest ever experi enced in the Sandhill section of North Carolina. “Mr. C. B. Ryan, our Passenger (Continued on page 8)
