OPPORTUNITIES
FOR ADVERTISING

tent that she feels it a duty to shop
when the opportunity is offered. She
also becomes convinced by what the
merchant has to say about the article
for sale that she is missing a chance.
Just so with those looking for agrri-
cultural, industrial and resort loca
tions, when small towns, counties,
states, the railroad systems and even
countries are using films to attract
people, they cannot look at the films
without becoming interested.
The Development Department of the
Seaboard Air Line Ry. has availed
every opportunity of interesting the
public in locating in it’s territory by
using films.
With further reference to the pub
licity of the Great Northern Railway
and the Northern Pacific Railway,
roads that are picturing broad wheat
fields and snow capped mountains,
there is no comparison between the
territory served by these railroads and
that served by the Seaboard Air Line.
When one sees the Southland pictured
by the side of the so-called famous
Northwest, the deciding proof is in
the inquiries made by the people con
cerning our Southern States.
RESOLUTIONS IN RE:
W. B. COLE TRIAL
Whereas, we believe in the words
of the News and Observer, that the
verdict of the jury in the case of
State vs. W. B. Cole, “was a miscar
riage of justice,” and that said ver
dict, “shocks the state’s sense of
justice;” and that the trial of said
case as stated by the Winston-Salem
Journal, “was a legal farce,” and to
quote the Greensboro News, the said
verdict, “was shaking the foundations
of public confidence in the Courts” and
as the judge who tried the case, de
spite the verdict of the jury stated
that in his opinion, that, “from a legal
standpoint Cole is guilty.”
Now therefore, we the members of
Joseph C. Henson Post No. 12, Ameri
can Legion, of Carthage, North Caro
lina, Resolve:
1. That we feel, with all other good
law abiding citizens of our state, a
just and abiding resentment at this
travesty upon justice, and further feel
that a blot has been cast upon the fair
name of our state.
2. That we vigorously denounce the
false and unjust aspersion cast by
Jas. A. Lockhart, an attorney for the
defense, upon the honorable war
record of WiUiam W. Orman, de
ceased; that the said Lockhart, in his
excessive zeal for his rich client, and
to satisfy the law of his bulging ego,
and his insatiate desire for the lime
light, made the same either malicious
ly or with reckless^ disregard for
truth.
3. That we regard our unwavering
confidence in the patriotism, bravery
and honor of our former comrade in
arms, William Orman.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to Rev. A. L. Orman, Nash
ville, N. C., a copy to the News and
Observer, Raleigh, N. C., a copy to
the Greensboro News, Greensboro, N.
C., a copy to the Moore County News,

*^ERRY WIDOW” BOOKED
FOR CAROLINA THEATRES
Broadway has seen many openings
but never one that approached in
popularity and enthusiasm the pre
miere presentation of “The Merry
Widow,”’ which opened Gloria Gould’s
intimate and beautiful Embassy
Theatre in New York. First nighters
applauded and cheered. Metropolitan
critics simply raved, no other word
can properly describe their enthusi
asm, over it. Never in the history of
motion pictures have such review
been published* in the New York
dailies. Each and every one praised
“The Merry Widow” to the skies and
then some. “The Merry Widow” is
riding on a wave of popularity that
will sweep the whole world,
Here’s what the New York World
said about it;
“The Merry Widow” is a positive
gem. It is by far one of the best seen
on a broadway screen in months, and
will prove one of the sensations of tke
season. And it has done f6r John
Gilbert what “The Four Horsemen”
for Rudolph Valentino. It has
Hfted him to the very pinnade of Bt»-
dom. Mae Murry never has ap
proached the heights she attains in
thi* picture. In spots she does work
that compares with any ever done in
films, and she is made positively
beautiful by photography that is
breath-taking . Throughout, the
picture is simply crammed with
beauty, and its climax, which is done
in natural colors, is positively gorge
ous. “The Merry Widow” is in for
several months of unprecedented suc
cess, and those who saw it last night
certainly wish it all that.”
Charlie Picquet tells us he has
screened “The Merry Widow” and
heartily agrees with the above review.
This attraction will mark the opening
of the new winter season and is the
first Monday-Tuesday attraction and
one of the best the season will offer.
CHORUS APPRECIATES
MR. PICQUErS WORK
At the Monday evening r^earsal of
the choral work in preparation for
the musical festival this week at the
Pinehurst Theatre an event not on the
program w^ stftge4. It was the pres
entation to Charlie Picquet of an ex
pensive baton, made by Mr. Fisher,
of Southern Pines, a skilled worker
in this line, by the members of the
organization who have an enthusi
astic appreciation of Mr. Picquet’s
work.
The Baton was presented to Mr.
Picquet about 11:30, after the final
rehearsal. Mr. McLeod, the com
munity church pastor of Pinehurst,
made a short presentation speech, in
which he expressed appreciation for
what Mr. Picquet is doing for the
community in bringing to it higher
standards of music, and our own ap
preciation in being permitted to ex
press them through these Festivals.
He hoped that Mr. Picquet would wave
himself, expressive of the baton, to
higher musical honors, not perhaps
in Pinehurst but in a larger field.
Mr. Picquet appeared to be moved
by his words and responded, disclaim
ing any particular talent, and attri
buting whatever success he had ap
peared to achieve to the earnest co
operation of those who had stood by
him so faithfully. He loves the Sand
hills as much as if he had been born
in them, and loves the people in them,
he said.
It was a rousing rehearsal, 105 out
of perhaps 112 being present. The
solo work thats right fine, the Greens
boro baritone and tenor soloists com
ing in for especial applause by the
chorus, both in their solo work and
in duet and trio with Mrs. Picquet.
FRESH FIGS POSSIBLE
FROM TARHELL FARMS
Experience with fig trees at the
North Carolina State College shows
that it is possible to have a supply of
fresh or preserved figs over all east
ern Carolina if more attention is given
to the crop.
“We know that the fig can be grown
easily in North Carolina,” says Prof,
J. P. Pillsbury of the Department of
Horticulture at State College. “The
fruit is one of the best for its health-
giving qualities. It is not a question
of learning how and where it niay be
grown but of finding out how its
culture may be placed on a commercial
basis.”
Prof. Pillsbury states that the
fresh fig is the type to grow here.
Let California have the market for
the dried figs because drying is not
profitable with the type grown suc
cessfully in North Carolina. Pre
served figs would never suffer in
competition with the dried fig and the
State has an opportunity to make a
reputation for such preserves.
The western limit of successful
fig culture will probably be in a line
through Raleigh, north and south.
This means that the Coastal Plain
region has another good fruit crop
which could add to income from the
farms of the section. Prof. Pills
bury states that there are 26 bushels
now being grown on the College"
grounds and these have yielded an
average of 276.7 quarts per year
during the past five years. These
plants are set fifteen feet apart each
way showing that the average acre
yield is 2,045.8 quarts of fruit per
acre. This fruit has been sold at Ift
cents per quart, the average local
price, and thus gives a g^ross return
of $3^8.70 per acre.
There is always a greater demand
for fresh figs than can be supplied
and this coupled witk the fact that
the figs ripen over a long period of
time thus preventing a glut on the
market at any one time is a decided
advantage in favor of more plantings.

The Pinehurst Warehouses
Pinehurst, N. C.
The Warehouses have an interesting letter from Edward S. Saighman,
at Waverly, Mo. Mr. Saighman is evidently an orchard man. He has found
that the best pruning shears in the world are made in France. He writes
to the warehouses at Pinehurst, and encloses a check to pay for an order
of French pruning shears.
For several years the Pinehurst Warehouses have been importing
French Pruning Shears
The factop^ that makes them makes nothing else. It knows how to mglfo
primmg she^ and says it does not care to bother with other things It
makes shears right. So the Warehouses import these shears, as iood
prwi^ shears are not so easy to get. Just now we have an order for 100
pEirs from one buyer who has. in the past bought as many previously. The
sheare are on the way to fill several orders that are already in, and we ex
pect the shipment any day. The ship sailed three weeks ago, but freights
sometimes move slowly. But they will be in almost any da^ Then we will
