ACTIVE PINEHURSr
BROTHERHOOD WORK
Movement Gaining Momentum
and Worthy Causes
Fostered
(J. T. Craig)
The Men^s Bible Class at Pinehurst,
operating under the name of Sand
hill Brotherhood of Pinehurst, is not
only maintaining the rapid pace set
some months ago, but is gaining con
stantly and consistently, both in
numbers and in work. The member
ship at this time totals ninety-five,
and there is no doubt that it will,
within a very short time, greatly ex
ceed the hundred mark at which their
stakes were set at the beginning.
They are now confronted with the
problem of securing quarters that will
seat the present Sunday school and
allow for the growth that is sure to
come. They have outgrown their
present meeting place at the Com
munity House; in fact the main room
there is scarcely large enough for the
Brotherhood, and as there are well
over one hundred in the other classes
it is immediately evident that another
location must be provided without
much further delay.
All of the sessions of this class have
been intensely interesting and help
ful. A few Sundays ago the Hon.
Russell Clegg, of Carthage, came
over and delivered one of his delight
ful addresses, based on the lesson for
that day. Mr. Clegg has, and merits,
the reputation of “knowing his Bible.”
This knowledge, together with a vast
fund of experience gained thru years
of practice in his profession, is
sufficient assurance that any audience
fortunate enough to secure him will
hear something worth while. At this
same service, a delightful musical
programme was rendered. Solos by
Miss Coffey, of Lakeview, and several
selections by a quartette, composed
of Miss Coffey, Miss Meadows, Mr.
Raymond Johnson, and Mr. Rassie
Wicker, were of a character seldom
heard outside of the city churches.
On the following Sunday, John R.
McQueen delivered one of the whole
some talks for which he is noted, the
kind that everyone who knows him
delights to hear. Mr. McQueen has
been so long and favorably known,
having been identified with Pinehurst
and every good movement enjoyed by
this section for many years, that
further comment here would be ful
some.
Rev. W. M. MacLeod, the enthusias
tic leader of his class, has perfectly
an organization that is doing a won
derful work. Of course, their fields
are unlimited. Just now, they are
furnishing a scholarship at Elise High
School, and are taking up the matter
of supporting other students there.
In the very near future, they plan to
create a fund for educational pur
poses, this to be loaned to those who
might not be able to secure elsewhere
the financial assistance necessary to
equip them to take up the battles of
life. All of which is an indication
that the Brotherhood, in doing things
for others, is laying the foundation
of a structure that will endure.
A few days previous to the last
Sandhill fair. Rev. MacLeod made the
suggestion that the class enter a float
in the Annual Parade. Out of the
fertile brain and genius and solicitude
of Rassie Wicker there sprang as fine
a float as ever passed in front of our
grrandstand. It won first prize and
the coffers of the Brotherhood were
enriched with funds to be used in
some of the above mentioned worthy
causes.
And so it goes. Every task this good
man imposes is discharged with dis
patch. But the men of the Brother
hood don't regard them as tasks at all.
To co-operate with him Jn the great
work he is doing is to them a source
of much joy and satisfaction. And
any time Rev. MacLeod finds that he
is not getting just what he wants, a
glance in his mirror will reveal the
only reason, as the community seems
determined to stand with him to the
last man.

MR. PICQUET’S CHORAL SOCIETY
The above picture of the Choral
Society which is shown above was
ordered by The Pilot to appear in a
previous issue, but the exigencies of
the mails made the plans go wrong.
The excellence of the work these
folks did, and the impression they
have made on the community will
make the group a welcome one.

PROTECT FARM MACHINERY
CLAUDE L. WILLIAMS
Farm machinery and implements
will be used very little in the field
from now on until next spring; so, put
them away under shelter and in good
repair, thus saving time and money
next spring.
“Put the machinery and implements
in an implement shed or in some out
building on the farm where they will
be protected from the rains and snows
of winter,” says D. S. Weaver, farm
engineer of the Department of
Agronomy at State College. “Before
storing, however, clean off all dirt
and mud, especially from those parts
not painted. Clean off the bright
parts and cover them with a heavy
coating of grease. This will prevent
rusting. Sometime duing the winter
give the painted parts another coat
and tag those parts which need re
placing.”
This will mean longer life and more
efficient results from the machines,
states Prof. Weaver.
His work at Pinehurst thus far has
been a revelation, and if he keep^ up
the rate he is now traveling the first
thing he knows he*ll be making Christ
ians out of some of the church people.
This estimable young man
was recently elected superin
tendent of Sunday • School at
the M. E. Church, Aberdeen. He
has lived in Aberdeen since 1921.
Previous to that time, he had
charge of a department of the
Odell Hardware Company at
Greensboro. He has been an
indefatigable worker in Sunday
School and Church whereever
he has lived.
His father, G. B. Williams,
who lives in the Clay section of
Moore County, near Hemp, has
been Sunday School superinten
dent there for many years.
Thus the younger Mr. Williams
is following in the foot-steps of
a good father, and The Pilot
bespeaks for him a successful
administration of the affairs of
the Sunday School at Aberdeen.
Mr. Williams is one of the
buyers at the Pinehurst Depart
ment Store. Has been a mem
ber of the Harvest Musical
Festival chorus from it's be
ginning.
He has a host of friends thru-
out this whole section who are
confident that the account he
will render of his stewardship
will be all that could be desired.

MISS ELEANOR HERNDON
BRIDE OF DAN McKEITHAN
YORK, S. C., Nov. 6.—A beautiful
wedding of much interest in both
South Carolina and North Carolina
was solemnized in the First Presby
terian church Friday evening, when
Miss Eleanor Herndon became the
bride of Dan McKeithen, of Aberdeen,
N. C. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. W. W. Harrison, D. D., who
used the impressive ring service.
Mrs. McKeithen is the only daugh
ter of Mrs. W. H. Herndon, of York
and is a young woman of rare charm
and loveliness. She is a taliented
musician and has been engaged in
teaching music in Aberdeen during
the two years since her graduation
from Converse college. Mr. Mc
Keithen is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
A. A. McKeithen, of Aberdeen, N. C.
He is cashier of the Page Trust com
pany, is an honor graduate of David
son and is prominent in the social,
fraternal and religious life of the
town.
The weekly dinner of the Kiwanis •
club held at the Manor Wednesday
in Pinehurst, was largely given over
to a review of the convention of clubs
the week before.
Reports indicated that it was about
the most successful convention of the
clubs of the two states ever held, and
the letters from all over the two Caro
linas spoke with extreme satisfaction
of both the convention and the recep
tion that the Carolina hotel extended -
to the visitorst. Sixty-two out of 77
clubs in the district were represented,
the attendance exceeding five hundred
persons. The Aberdeen club won the
silver bell given for the successful
'golf contestants. One interesting
feature was the emphatic impression
of the Sandhills made on the strangers
who came from all quarters of the
two states, for they all went away
pleased with the experience of their
few days in this neighborhood.
Not long ago the club ordered the
purchase of a silver cup to be pre
sented to the Moore county school
having the best attendance during the
present school year. The cup has ar
rived and was turned over to the
school authorities to be held for its
ultimate award to the school that
wins it. Each year the cup will be
put up, and it will go to the school
winning it for the year by the best
attendance, until one school wins it
through more than one year, when it
will be the property of that school.
Recognizing the disadvantage of
tiolding the weekly meets at any place
where the club can arrange it was
decided to henceforth meet in the ban
quet room of Jack’s new resturant to
3e opened shortly in the new building
of the Citizens Bank and Trust com
pany in Southern Pines. Jack has
made arrangements to carry on there
one of the finest resturants and as
sembly rooms in the South, and he will
not only take care of the Kiwanis club
3ut anything else that wants a high-
class service in his line.
Two schemes came up for a little
discussion, the one that said represen
tatives of the Ricker company and of
the Lockwood-Green company would
be in Southern Pines Thursday and
Friday to go further into the hotel
project, and to try to get to some
positive footing before they go home.
The other was the announcement that
the advertising committee that is
undertaking to carry out the expendi
ture of about $75,000 in the next five
years for advertising will hold a meet
ing in Southern Pines Thursday night,
at which some work will be laid out
in the hope that the advertising may
be started at once. From some of the
communities money is coming in right
freely while in other quarters the con
tributions are not what they should be.
The committee will try,to warm up
the kettle and see if the money can
not be provided forthwith.
LET SOME SUNSHINE IN
Sunshine is the best disinfectant on
the farm. It is a great destroyer of
germs.
“Where one has the capital, winter
is a good time to add some windows
to the barns and cattle sheds. If new
ones are being built, be sure to make
provisions for windows,” advises Prof.
D. S. Weaver, farm engineer at
State College. “These windows per
mit of the free use of Nature's disin
fectant. Horses and cattle should
have at least three square feet of glass
per animal and hogs not less than two
s(|uare feet. These windows should
be so placed .that the sunshine falls
directly on the floor as most of the
germs in bams and outhouses are
found in the litter on the floor.”
There will be a plate supper at
the Lakeside Inn, Lakeview, N. C., on
Friday, Njovember 13th., from six to
Tax collector will be in Vass next I eight o’clock. Benefit of Church
Monday to collect 1925 taxes. | Furnace Fund.
