(“Bob”) Reynolds At 2:00 o’clock Thursday afternoon, October 26, in the Court House at Carthage, Hon. Robt. R. Reynolds, of Asheville, will speak on the issues of the campaign. This blue-eyed moun taineer is putting in some hard licks in his effort to assist in rolling up the biggest Democratic majority possible. If all of Bob’s friends in Moore County can arrange to be present at this great rally, the court-room will be far too small for his audience.. WELFARE ASS’N. IN FIRST MEETINtJ Business of Moore Co.

To get to the double road the commission figured that the old load should first be taken in hand so traffic might be cared for while the other was under construction.. Her bert Jackson’s crew was detaile<l to the job, and this week he has about wound up the job of reshaping and claying the old road from the lower end of Southern Pines, past the ceme tery to the club house at Pinehurst. He has had hard luck most of the time for the ground is so dry that the clay he puts down grinds immediately to dust, and not much headway can be made in getting a good road until rain enough comes to make the mater ial stick together under the drag and the wheel. Until the double road is dampened a little by rain Mr. Jackson says he battle that took place thare in revolu tionary days, and the agji’ressive and vindictive warfare made in that sec- owners and the inhabitant was that of enthusiastic loyalty to the new gov ernment.

At this the bus iness of the association was brought up to date and the various reports heard. Mrs. R. N. Page reported that the making of the Christmas bags for our soldiers who are in hospitals has been given to the girl scouts of Southern Pines. It is very fine of the girl scouts to take this work. Mrs. J. R. Page reported on the visit of thelife- saver from the National Red Cross headquarters. He held a very successful cl^s in Aberdeen for a few days. His visit was very much appreciated. C. 0. Bell, who is chairman of our Red Cross roll call this fall was for the cooperation of all the members, ihe chairman of the different branche organizations and all whho are in terested in this work. Awnings for the county tubercular sanatarium were bought and placed early in the summer. Report was made of the improve ment in health of the Moore County boy who is at the State Sanatarium. also of the death of the colored wo man, whose board we have been pay ing there. Mrs. Hazel and Miss Eifort told of the work they have been doing, men tioning their plans for the coming winter. Last spring when reporting quotas the different brances are asked to raise toward the welfare budget, it seems I gave suggested figures in stead of those really decided upon. I gladly take this opportunity to cor rect the mistake. The quotas follow: Southern Pines, $300.; Aberdeen, $150; Carthage, $150; Vass, $50; Pine- bluff, $50; Lakeview, $50; Eureka •‘^25; Hemp, $25; Jackson Springs, $25; Eagle Springs, $25; West End, $25; Cameron $50; Pinehurst, $800. scheduled for an address. All of the 48 states of the Union and the Hi- waian islands have membership in the association, and with the subjects to be considered the convention will be one of the most important that has assembled at any time in Pine hurst.

The Manly section voted 66 for con solidation out of 99 registered. Jim- town voted 4 out of 56 registered, and the district at Suggs cast 33 out of 34 registered. Some of those register ed failed to get out, or the favorable majority might have been larger. Ralph Chandler, of the school com mission of Southern Pines, is much pleased with the result and says it will make the schools of that town among the best in the state, although they already rank well, as their grad uates are admitted freely to the uni- verisity amd the colleges, and the Southern Pines boys and girls in the higher institutions of the state are getting high marks in their studies at those places. Practically all the children in the consolidated district will be taken to the central schools from now on, and while most of them have been going to the main schools the consolidation makes the district officially a unit instead of a group and unifies it in its management and fi nancing.

Leonadr Tufts in saying a word in be-1 athletics. By the call of Superintendent A. B. Cameron and President O. B.

At the close of the devotional exercises Pres ident Welch appointed a nominating” committee, to nominate officers for the current year; and a program commit tee was appointed. This was fol lowed by a talk by the County Sup erintendent, in which he outlined the plans for the year’s work.

The quality of tobacco coming to the warehouses this season is of a higher type than usual, and Mr.. Saun ders says that the work Archie Tapps has been doing is in considerable de gree responsible for the gartifying conclusion. Yet he says the tobacco market is short of supplies now in the face of the steady increase in the demand for cigarette, and that this years’ crop will not be likely to pro vide a surplus against the existing de mand. He therefore looks for ^ood prices for tobacco for next year; and predicts a good prospect fo rthe next two or three years. Mr. Saunders says the Sandhill tobacco is steadly attracting more favor, and that this field is interesting farmers from other parts of the state and that the number of tobacco farms continues to multi ply. One thing he regrets is that a num ber of farmers take their leaf to other markets to sell when the home mar ket brings good prices, saving the cost of going elsewhere.

Charlie Mason argued that the work should be pushed at once as the time to impress people with the Sandhills is in the immediate few weeks ahead, and a diversity of argument agreed with him and backed the project. Solicitors will be in the field irght away, and it is believed advertising can be placed within a few days. To attend the district convention held in Charleston beginning Novem ber 11, Prof. Morton, Rev. McLeod and Ralph Chandler were elected del egates. A number of members are talking of going to Charleston to the convention as a golf rivalry exists in the organization, and Charleston is said to have a good place to play the game. Considerable running talk along the tables indicates that this is to be an other year of exceptional business in the Sandhills, and much confidence was expressed. above reproach. Mr. Graham also emphasized the importance of home training and home study and express ed himself as thinking that every high school student should spend a mini mum of two hours a day in home study. Mr. Graham was followed by another member of the County Board of Education, John R, McQueen, of Lakeview. The hearty applause given Mr. McQueen showed the love and esteem in which he is held by the Moore County teachers. Mr. McQueen expressed an opinion that this will be the best year’s work in the Moore County schools since the war.. He encouraged the teachers to put forth their best efforts in raising* our standards to the highhest possible level.
