VA5S. N. C ENTERTAINED BY BROTHERHOOD Community House At Pinehurst Scene Of Very Happy Events; Other Pinehurst Items FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1926 LIPTION $2.00 The community Social, given by the Brotherhood Class at the Pinehurst Community House Tuesday evening, drew the largest crowd seen on the place since the days of the Caligan Campaign. “Society is no comfort to one not sociable.” This crowd was one hundred per cent sociable, and the whole countryside was there, from the babes in arms to grand-par- ents. The preacher, school-master, and teachers were there to direct an impromptu program, which is always more enjoyable than cut and dried affairs. Games were suggested for the lit tle folks, while the grown-ups put m their time singing and seeing to it that all present were neighbors. “The gospel allows no such term as STRANGER; makes every man my NEIGHBOR.” One outstanding feature of the eve ning was the garment race, in which each contestant was furnished with a suit-case full of wearing apparel. The game was to open the suit-case, don the garments, run to a certain point, discard the garments and replace them in the suit-case, then return to the starting point. Judges decided that the first heat was a tie be^'ween Rev. MacLeod and Gordon Cameron. In vestigation disclosed that both had “held out,” Rev. McLeod failing to make proper use of the neck-tie in his outfit, and Mr. Cameron neglected to securely fasten his suit-case. Com mittee then selected a new group who First Annual Archers Tourney The First Annual Midwinter Archery Tournament will be held at Pinehurst January 3, 4, 5, and 6, 1927. The addition of Archery to the program of sports at Pine hurst indicates that it is quickly becoming a popular pastime. Being the home of Archers Hall and an unusual amount of interest being manifested in Archery throughout the Sandhills, this sport bids fair to hold the place it has been given on the program, and Bowmen from all over the land will make Pinehurst their winter playground, as have the golfers for the last decade. REV. D. MC. MONROE TAKING VACATION Visiting Ministers Will Supply His Pulpits During August (Please turn to page 2) SANDHILL FRUIT SOLD AT ORCHARD Good Roads Create Profiatble Market and Encourage Home Consumption Peach harvest is on now in good shape in the Sandhills. Georgia Belles are getting pretty well along find Elbertas are now holding the eye of the shipper. The rains have improved the quality of the fruit, and a fairly large crop will go forward. North Carolina bought so large a proportion of the Sandhills crop as seems to be the case this summer. A novel com bination of traffic is niet on the roads in this neighborhood now. The Florida tags are already met going South in considerable num bers, but the striking travel is that of cars and trucks with peaches. The Florida migrants will think ihat about all the people of Central North Carolina do is to haul peaches up and down the roads in large quantities. But gradually it has become iinown that Sandhills peaches are abundant, and that the good roads 'what lead to the orchards touch the roads that come from every where so folks crowd in here day by day and take away enormous quantities of fruit. To supply the state market has been a problem with the orchard man, for he has wanted to ship to his own state, but as he is busy loading in car lots he has had no time to bother with express or crate orders. So he has hustled into the cars at the orchard siding one or two or half a dozen cars a day, and mighty glad to get them off his hands m car load lots at his pack house. But with the advent of good roads the folks come after peaches and grab up baskets at the pack house and roll away. This has done two things. It has enabled local people to get fruit, and it has widened the orchard’s market. From the crowds that are coming after peaches it is apparent that more Sandhill fruit Rev. Monroe and family left this week to spend their annual vacation with relatives in West Virginia. During his absence, services at Vass Union and Lakaeview will be con ducted as follows: Vass, second Sunday, 11:15 A. M., Rev. .D. N. McLauchlin, of Norfolk, Va.; Union, third Sunday, 11:00 A. M., Rev. R. E. Henderlite, of Jackson Springs; Lakeview, third Sunday, 8:00 P. M., Rev. Henderlite; Vass, fourth Sunday, morning and evening, Rev. Henderlite; Lakeview, September 5, 8:00 P. M., Rev. C. E. Clark, of Car thage. A pretty good example of success from seeing duty and doing it is found in Archibald D. McLauchlin, who lives about four miles out the Lo belia road from Vass. Sixty years ago he was born there on the old place, and in about as troubled a period of the country’s history as can be chron icled, for the war had just closed and reconstruction had not yet started. Then came all the vicissitudes of that stormy experience as the child grew and thrived according to the possibil ities of the distracted neighborhood and state. But he came to manhood a robust and ambitious young chap, and had begun to catch hold of things in a modest way, when the death of his father in 1889 left him with the farm and the family on his hands. He put aside his notion of following the (Please turn to :nage 2> Advertising Agency To Seive T h e Sandhills Operators of The Pilot are of fering a new service to adver tisers in the Sandhills.

Derby) Unless something is done promptly to stop Sunday joy riders from cut ting off the tops and branches of young pine trees along our highroads we will have one of the most mangy appearing country sides in the entire United States. It has been a common sight for the past several years to see Ford cars cruising around on Sundays and holi days decorated with the tops of two young long leaf pines on either run ning board and the top of another tree on the rear. The mutilated stumps of young trees along the roadsides bear wit ness to this vandalism which would be bad enough if permitted in the or dinary rural section but which is in sane folly when permitted in a resort region to which the beauty of the roadsides is one of the main assets. As the work is done for the most part by visitors it will be necessary to enfore what laws we now have to stop it promptly. The county sher iff should have his deputies on the road to make arrests and signs should be set up at various points caution ing visitors against destroying any trees or shrubbery and making it clear that action will be taken against offenders. Also public opinion should be aroused to the importance of stop ping this vandalism and offenders should be reported to the authorities. If sufficiently vigorous action is taken in the next few months* the practice Graduates of Jackson Spring-s High School (Please turn to page 8) WH)E VARIETY OF EXCELLENT STONE I9| i Richard Tufts Calls Attention To Possibilities For Stone In Moore County (Please turn to page 8) The above is the picture of the Jackson Springs Hi.qh School Senior Class as they were at school one day last fall: Front row, Dorothy Long, Desma Brown and Mngaxet Thompson. Second row: Geneva Gordon, Gertie Britt, Juanita Bruton, Walter Frye, Jennie Brewer, PeariHarris, Estelle Thomas and Mary Thomas. Third row: Neill McDuffie, Rupert Redfern, Crimp Redfern, Larena Stibbs, Lena Noel, Mollie Williamson, Ruth Currie, Cor- rine 'McCall and Edwin Currie. Back row: Raymond Seawell, Buren Bennett, Robert Clark, Gisdy Thomas, Principal E. O. Smithdeal, Landis Bennett, Russell Reece and Cecil Ritter. Some dropped out of this class or are behind a year by not being promoted. It is the largest class to g ad- uate from this school. The transportation of five each from Eagle Springs and West Eend and one joining ihe class from the Derby school in Richmond County broke the average of 13 for the first seven classes, out of that 91 more than fifty per cent have continued their education and nearly one fourth have taught school. A grade record is expected of this class. Two boys joined their family who moved away, one is with the Swarthmore Chautauqua; one is in Norfolk at work with a law course in his head. The others are at home and like others are not afraid of work in the peaches, cotton and tobacco. Six of the boys applied for admission to N. C. Col lege to take the place of one graduate from here, and we wonder how many will take the place of three grad uates from here next year. In next year’s class there were 19 of the 22 boys enrolled promoted. About four out of five fail to finish high school in North Carolina.. This is not true with Jackson Springs. They were strong for the county unit system and the community for several years has been strong for education, facing financial difficulties just as their boys and girls, who have college in their heads. Consoldiation has shown results. In the above class Jackson Springs is a leader with Marcus of Montgomery following. Former graduated from Mar cus have the best record. Principal E. O. Smithdeal has given up teaching and is succeeded as principal by Thaddeus N. Frye, who has taught in the school for two years. Mr. Frye is a Carthage boy and a graduate of Wake Forest College. He is now working toward his M. A. degree.—Contributed by LONNIE GRAHAM. There has been much talk recent ly concerning the development of Moore co’jnty’s natural resources and particular attention has been directed towards the use of our stone as building material. There are two good and sound reasons for this interest and the reason that v:e of Moore County would naturally place first is that we have a wide variety of excellent stone. Second to this is the fact that we are now entering on an era of building construction which is favorable to the use of stone. Dr. Jasper Stuckey will and Bion Butler bolh has and will give in formation about what our rocks are, how they come to be here, and what their pedigree names are, etc, which subject, a'- they are bo+h fi'ted to browse upon, is bet ter left to them. Suffice it to say that we have a wide variation of colors, textures, composition, shades etc., to select from and that this variety is one of our biggest selling features. For example vou do not paint your house the iden tical color and shade that your neigh bor has but rather you try to express some individuality in your choice of a color. Each man to his tastes and the fact that a rock can be found in Moore County to satisfy about any taste means that the development and use of our stone can be made much I more popular and with a more pleas ing variety as a result. With the gradual depletion of our timber resources the price of all-wood construction is rapidly drawing up onto even terms with fireproof or semi-fireproof construction. Stucco, brick, and tile all are coming into use and along with these will go stone where it can be obtained. The men ace of fire is gaining a foothold in the minds of home builders and now is ■ife H I* i 1. ,(!■ (Please turn to page 8)
