Page ^ight THE TREES OF MOORE (C!ontinued from Page 1) THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Vass, llorth Carolina, and cling to the tree all winter—or until the birds get them—^for many birds—especially birds of passage, are ex^mely fond of cedar berries. ^Ee first cousin of the Cedar Tree is: ARBOR-VITAE: Thuya Plicata, sometimes mis-called Red Cedar. The Arbor-Vitae is, I believe, not native in Moore County, but is very popular as an exotic. It grows to great per fection in Virginia, and I have seen a tree of this species at Natural Bridge, Va., which is of enormous size, and is said to be two thousand years old. Another cousin to the Cedar is the: JUNIPER: Chamaecyparis Thy- oides: (No wonder some people ob ject to botanical names!) This is the common Juniper, often called White Cedar. It grows plentifully in Moore County—but almost exclusively in the eastern and southern parts of the county. It is a swamp-loving tree, and grows so abundantly in the swamps of the streams as to be the cause of about half of the creeks and viding accommodations for visitors. Southern Pines has carried out a similar project. At Knollwood Pine- hurst has built the Pine Needles Inn, and the Knollwood directors have planned the fine development that is now under way, with its gt>bd roads, utilities, its well-located building sites, etc. But no matter what these folks have done they would be help less were it not that the folks who see what is going on take a hand and approve of what has been done for their pleasures. It is the visiting numbers who are responsible for the only broad-minded man in the world, just as some temperance fanatics damn all who disagree with them. It is hard to determine which is the most to be avoided. If there is any difference it is in favor of the one who is seeking to destroy an evil and does not imagine he is annointed with the only oil of breadth. There are narrow men in North Carolina and everywhere else, but man for man and woman for woman we dare place the people of North Carolina alongside the people of any Commonwealth in America. No man has been persecut- that the enthusiasts plan for the Sandhills, and that is what makes the future so tremendous, and so certain. No man need worry about being over- optimistic on the Sandhills. The man does not live who has the power of imagination to forecast what the in creasing army of new arrivals will ultimately do with all this country from Little River to Drowning Creek, and from the Fort Bragg boundary to the foot hills to the north of us. It is the vast mass of the outsiders who are carrying out the task, and they are taking hold of the job with more enthusiasm and in bigger numbers each year. It is they who are the branches in the Sandhills being called }jqqiji0j^ uot the local folks who blaze entire success of the big programs | ed here for his religion, no laws dic tate thought or action. Its people, as Bancroft said, “are the freest of the free.” “The Juniper.” The wood of the! Juniper is extremely soft, and so easily worked that in the days when all farm and household utensils were made, at home Juniper was pre-emi nently the choice of woods for small cooperage. ; The best Juniper Swamps were taken up by grants long before the wore arable lands were granted by the State—and slave holders usually had one “lacky boy” taught to be a Juniper Cooper. . The fruit of the Juniper Tree is very like Cedar berries, and the Juni per berries were formerly highly prized as a diuretic, and also used in making Gin. I have been informed that Old Tom Gin, and Gordon Gin are really nothing but clever blends of the oil of Juniper berries, with alcohol and water, concocted by the thrifty Dutch, and the canny Scotch.

DANIELS RESENTS THE NEW YORK WORLD’S BLACK FLAG (Continued from page 1) As the Democratic nominee for Congress from the Ninth Con gressional District, it is not amiss for me to say that if in the future any attempts are made to repeal or amend the eighteenth amend ment, or to amend or to repeal any of the existing prohibition laws, I shall, as a member of Congress, strenuously oppose any such attempts. This statement is made so that in the future there can be no misconception of my views on the prohibition question. If, as The World intimates, there is to be an appeal to repudiate pro hibition and prohibition leaders and set up a Smith and anti-prohibition organization, North Carolina’s answer will be: It cannot be done. This State, as Jefferson said, is “fixed and for ward.*’ An attempt was made by Smith men, with a four-year-old or ganization and money from New York, to elect delegates to vote for Smith’s nomination. What happened ? Smith carried only one Congressional district in the State and he would not have carried that if the people had known he was going to send his tele gram to Houston or elect the vice- president of the Association Against Prohibition to manage the campaign. North Carolina cannot be driven. It is tolerant, prohibition. Democratic. It will not be stampeded from any of these positions!

It is these people who are making the development move at Knollwood Heights, just as it is they who are making things move in every section of the Sandhills. Without their in terest in what they find all the argu ment of enthusiastic residents would be powerless, and if the newcomers did not find something decidedly worth while they would not be interestd. But they find a plenty to attract them, and they tie in and become a part of the movement, and they lend a forceful hand in all that is done for the expansion of the various com munities.

To thus state what has been the unvarying position of The News and Observer is to state what has been and is the attitude of the bulk of the Democratic people of North Carolina. They are not bigots and they are not intolerant, but they are getting tired of being lectured on tolerance by peo ple who intolerance so dominates them that they apply such epithets as **bigots” to all who disagree with them. This paper speaks for North Carolina when it repudiates in their name the broadcasting that ‘‘bigotry flourishes” here. It resents the sug gestion that there is any call on any body anywhere to come here ‘*to strike down intolerance and vindicate the reputation of the South in the eyes of the world.” The only vindication the State of North Carolina needs is from such unjust and unfounded at tacks as are made in this article in the New York World.
