C FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926. NUMBER ION $2.00 LOUIS LACHINE IS DEVELOPER LOUIS LACHINE IS DEVELOPER Sells His Seventh House On We3^out>h Heights To The Democratic Voters oi Moore County RAILROAD MEN VISIT COUNTY Louis Lachine, of the Highland Pines Inn force, is a builder and devel oper, and all his work is done on Weymouth Heights and in the vicinity of the Highland Pines Inn. Mr. La chine came to Southern Pines a dozen years ago and soon was connected with the new hotel. But he was not content to be outside of the develop ment and he bought some ground and built a house. Then he followed with another, and they were so well lo cated and so desirable that a buyer wanted them. He built another, and another buyer wanted it. So he con. tinued until he is now building his seventh house, and last week he sold it before he had the cellar walls com- jdeted. He has one left in which he lives, and another that has been fin ished but a short time. The one he occupies he will keep for himself, as he says it suits him, and he is tired selling the roof over his head all the time, but he will finish the one just sold, and will sell the other one that he does not occupy. To finish the one he has started will keep him un til fall, when it is to be ready for the {)uyer who wants to come to Soutkern Pines then and make a per manent home. She is Mrs. Julia C. Mowry, of Shrewsbury, New Jer sey. Mp. Lachine has built four of his hoii»f» Mwisacliueetts avenue just east of the Inn^ and has given a big Btimalus to building in that quarter of Weymouth Heights. The types of houses that he has built has main tained the character of tJiat part of Southern Pines, and besides what he had done with his own houses Mr. La chine has encouraged further develop ment by others. Out beyond the 01m- stead home several new houses are scheduled for fall and winter construc tion. Just opposite the Olmstead house Mrs. Ingersold of Pittsburg has bought a site in the fine pine thicket where she Will build, and on down the road toward Mr. Lemon’s house Mrs. Ilene McKinney, of Titusville, Pa., has bought an acre and a half, and will probably build shortly. Beyond her location A. W. Merril, of Richmond, Kentucky, has selected two acres on the ridge looking out over Fort Bragg, and there on the summit of the bluff he is planning a house that will have no superior as a location in the Sandhills. It is on one of the most pronounced hill tops in the neighborhood with a picture that is unsurpassed, and Mr. Merril says. it is the pick of all this country. A new street will be opened this summer down the ridge on which his propel*ty is situated, and it will be.a surprise to most folks when they see that new road for the first time, for it will traverse that ridge for sev eral hundred feet, and open a view in three directions covering a picture.of the country out into the fort region for miles. Sam Richardson who is handling, the Weymouth property says the out look for the summer and fall up that way was never so good, as the attrac- tve homes that have been built show up to such good effect that those folks who see Weymouth are impressed with its character and its indication of making the most desirable neigh borhood of the community. He ex pects the new work that will be done on the streets and the other im provements that will be made duting the summer will result in a number of new homemakers * there when the fall seasons dp^s this year. In the Canvass of the county for nomination,for the office of Clerk of the Superior Court, I learn that it has been reported that I had enter ed into an a^eement with Mr. J. Alton Mclver, the present Clerk, to keep Mr. Mclver in the office, if I am nominated, and divide fees of the office fifty-fifty with him for a period of one or two years, this report being var ied at times to suit the ends of the person making it. This report in whatever form made is a fabrication of the whole cloth. Those circulating this report have either been misled or are deliberately stating an un truth. Norfolk Southern At Kiwanis Dinner Ofiieials Inasmuch as there is no truth whatever in this report, it is mani* fest that the story originated in the brain of some one desiring to injure me in the good opinion of the people of the county. While I regret to be compelled to thus properly characterize the person who started this re port, I feel sure that every voter of tile county will appreciate the fact that it is proper that this falsehood be denounced. I feel that the votere of the county are entitled to this information and to know that this re port in whatever form made is false. In this connection, I wish to say that, if I am elected to this most re sponsible position of Clerk, I shall devote my entire time to the office and that I will faithfully and impartially perform the duties of the office ac cording to the best of my abilities,, without interference from any source whatsoever. f . The above statement, duly signed by me, may be found on file in the offices of the Moore County News, The Vass Pilot, and the Sandhill Citi- zGn, June 28,1926. DR. R. G. ROSSER TO VACONATE MURCHISON CLAN AT LAKEVIEW County Quarantine Officer Makes | Announcement Regarding Campaign Dr. R. G. Rosser, of Vass, ^who is Quarantine Officer for Moore County informs The Pilot that on next Sat urday, July 3, he will inaugurate a vigorous campaign against typhoid and diphtheria. While he has charge of this work in the entire county Dr. Rosser cannot toveE all of the terri tory personally, and other physicians have expressed a willingness to cover a portion of it for him. Dr. Rosser will meet the public at Southern Pines on Tuesdays, at Pine- hurst on Thursdays, and at Vass on Saturdays. At Pinehurst "and Southern Pines he will be located in the public school building, and at Vass in his office over Gunters store. It is no longer necessary to urge people to take advantage of this ser vice. We know that the treatments are absolute, that they will immun ize those who take them. Also that it is better to vaccinate than to*hang crepe on the door. There will be no charge for this service, as all materials, etc. are furnished by the State. Announcement will be made of ap pointments desired by other physi cians assisting in this work as soon as they furnish the information. Sixth Annual At Popular Resort Reunion At the Kiwanis dinner at Aberdeen- Wednesday F. P. Pelter, vice-presi dent and general manager of the Nor folk Southern Railroad, and J. S. Cox, superintendent, were guests and Mr. Pelter talked to the assemblage on some phrases of the labor board and laws relating to it. Mr. Pelter gaT® utterances to some plain things that set the Kiwanians to tliiiiking. He started by telling his audience that a railroad is just like any other busi* ness as far as business goes, but that in some respects it is far more im portant. For while another ^busi^ ness may shut down if it feels dil- posed and no harm folfows, s iMk railroads of this country shut *doW^ a week or are shut down by ai^ •. t * / causes grave conditions follow, imd § f very few days of idleness dn the patt of the pdlroads would melan fltmin*.*; and flijipmtion in every big citjr^^l Ther^re Ihe railroad may not be j neie|iiitte^ to shut down, and Mr* fmks that sooner or lat^r tlli- : States will be compelM to face iM fact that this country imuit ^ have some positive laws that will de-^ fine the relation of the railrdads ^ th# country’s ,transportation necessarl^ ties. , - - i- He mentioned the laws that hav« been made restricting t|ie labor; con ditions of the roads, and the repeal and the enactment of new laws and the imcertainties that exist, and the deplorable situation in which the roads are at the present time, for at any* time this country is at the mercy of a strike if the workers should see • fit to call one, and the people have no redress for the roads have no redress. Mr; Pelter referred to the po|)ular misconception which is that the roads are guaranteed a dividend of § 3-4 per cent. This is not a fact, for the roads are guaranteed nothing. But they are limited to a dividend of 5 8-5 if they can earn it and if they earn more than that it may not b© paid. He said kis road in 1914 had earned 2 per cent, and nothing since then.

The entire sec ond floor, which had been reserved for the clan, did not suffice and many additional roolns were provided by the management. This was the s'ixth annual reunion of the Murchisons, the other five hav ing been held at old Mount Vernon. More modern accommodations were desired for the meeting this year. Two of the clan visited Lakeview, re ported on the beauty of the place and It is to be regretted that North Car olina will not participate in the Chorus of Staties at the Sesqui-Centennial in Philadelphia on President’s Day, July 5.

The annual banquet was held Sat urday night, surpassing any previous event and sparkling with fun, music and wit. A chapel service was held at 9:00 o’clock Sunday morning. In his announcement to the clan, the sec retary, Duncan M. Murchison, of Rock Hill, S. C., said: **So far as the secretary knows, there has not been a death in our clan since we last met. In this we all rejoice.” Members of the clan were loud in their praise of the entertainment pro vided, and left the impression that the Sixth Annual Reunion would not be (Please turn to page 10) road cannot stop strikes for a man a right to quit work when he wants to, but he thinks that the laws should require that when a man ac cepts empTc^ment in a corporation that serves the people a strike should be a matter in which the public serv ice is ‘ considered. » He thinks strik ers have no .more right to stop the- running bf the roads than the roai’s have.
