VA^. N. C LOSS or CONFIDENCE IS GREATCALANrrY Loss of Trust In Our Leaders Is A Forerunner of De struction The loss of confidence of the people in one another, and especially in their leaders, is the greatest calamity that can come to any community or state or country. Loss of trust leads to carelessness and carelessness im ply another word for “don’t care,” and **don’t care’’ is tl^e forerunner of ut ter distruction. This trust weakens the hearty, friendly hand clasp; it puts questioning thoughts into the hearts of honest people and gives the con tinuance awavering look. Mistrust breeds discontent, and destroys happf- ness and peace; it hinders co-operation and fellowship and is the most dis- tractive influence in all the world. There was a time in the latter half of the past century when the people might afford to go about their own business, and rest assured, that they were not surrounded by traitors, thieves and robbers—and when we think of those days it seems that a portion of the millimium was cut out and handed to the survivors of “the lost cause” to comfort them for having fought so bravely for states rights, and to reward them for retaining iiheir principles, even if they did lose the battle. But now—^but now; who can go about his own affairs and ha^ the blessed assurance that we are safe from physical and spiritual harm ? Who can point to a person tliait we fio not know thoroughly - and say, "I know without a doubt that that man is not a traitor to the faith and that he is our friend because he is a citizen of our state and a Chrisitian Who can listen to a stranger make a speech and not wonder all the while if he has a poisoned arrow cloaked with fine phrases and liberal ideas that will presently undermine our ^ith and hinder the co-operation and liar- mony of our state? When a man of fers us a bargain in a trade, how many people can trust him? And wben -we New Registration At Southern Pines Due to athe fact that the books containing names of the register ed voters of Southern Pines have been lost, it will be necessary to take a new registration of all who wish to participate in the pri mary on June 5, next. V. T. Cheatham is the Registrar of Voters and will doubtless make known when and where voters may register. GLOMA CHARLES (Continued on Page 5) CAMERON HIGH CONNENCENEHT Rev. A. R. McQueen Preached The Baccaluauareate Sermon At the present writing, the com mencement is on. They seem to grow better each succeeding year. Perhaps one reason, we have one among the handsomest school buildings in the county, and well equipped. I sup pose it is like one who is conscious of being well dressed, gives one poise and self confidence and banishes shy ness. The play, “When a Feller Needs a Friend,” by the seniors, was very amusing indeed, and each one acted their part well. The recitation and declamation contest was in tellec- tual and classic. The declamation niedal was won by Henry Dowell Jones. Subject. “The Conqueror.” The recitation niedal was won by Miss Ethel Boaz, who inpersonatep ia Gypsy flower girl.

MFORNATION BUREAU CLOSED FHtST OF NAY Over 350 People Served During Time Office Was Open; Great Asset To Community The Sandhills Information Bureau closed on May 1, after having served some three hundred and fifty people during the two months the office was open. These people called at the Information Bureau for descriptive literature, road maps, etc; to ask about hotels and accommodations, real estate and other data concerning the Sandhills section. Besides the booklets and other lit erature which was distributed person ally from the office, the Secretary re ceived approximately seven hundred and fifty requests by mail for liter ature and information, these inquiries being the result' of the advertisements which appeared in the several North ern and Soutliern newspapers. There were a large number of tourists also who stopped over here, enroute from the South to the North, who had seen the advertising, but who had not writ ten for any descriptive literature. The committee in charge of the Ad vertising Campaign are much encour aged by the results obtained both from the maintenance of the Information Bureau and the advertising in the papers, and they hope that the office and the publicity will be continued next season, and urge the continued co-operation and support of the com munity.

Members of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association in three states have, been mailed ballots for the coming election of directors and will vote on Saturday, May 8, in the election of a managing board to guide the association in its fifth and last year of operation.

The' ballots which are now in the hands of the members must be cast by noon of May 8 at the county seat of every tobacco growing county or mailed .so as to reach the election com mittee of each county at the court house before noon of that day, to be effective in this election.
