Tail End of Big Florida Storm Hits Sandhills Region. Arrived Tuesday With Abated Fury to Damage Roadways. s. A. L. Trains Delayed. The storm which devastated Porto Rico and left a wake of death and destruction in the Palm Beaches of Florida visited the Sandhills with abated fury on Tuesday, wind and rain causing some damage though nothing in comparison with the venge ance wreaked south of us. Trains of the Seaboard Air Line piled up between Southern Pines and Vass due to a wash-out just north of Lakeview, where waters gushing from the lake and from Little River swept over the tracks. The highway, Route 50, Aras under from one to four feet of water at various low points, and for some time traffic was at a stand still between Lake view and Vass and between Vass and Sanford, the town of Vass being more or less isolated for a day. Trees were down and many county roads were blocked throughout the section, and there were a few minor SUBSCRIPTION S2.00 HALF MILLION CA IN STATE Nl^J FALL TERM OPENS IN a !*• SOUTHERN PINES SCHOOL Approachmg I Theatre and Hotel at PinolT Southern ^ Pinehurst C/hanged Registration of automobiles Pmes school on Tuesday for the' » i North Carolina is now about thirty nesday “for the high Tc’hool “tudYnte^ ^registration Principal W.

Within the last few days a large number of young people have left this section for college. Among the lot is Harold Dillehay, of Southern Pines, and his experience ought to be a les son to many young chaps who might have done as well. The boy’s father died when the lad was small. But as he grew big enough he helped with artomobi'iraccl^^^^^^^^ workmg m the stores on Saturdays ping off the roads. The house occu pied by Andrew McFadyen near the Lobelia plant of the Carolina Light and Power Company, was completely wash^ away. A large tree in front of the home of the late Percy Cham bers on New Hampshire avenue in Southern Pines fell, clipping off a cor ner of the roof of the house. Tele phone poles and wires were down and lying alongside the highway between Southern Pines and Vass. Power serv ice wos intermittent on Tuesday, as was the telegraph and telephone serv ice. Some fear was felt for the lake at Aberdeen which for a time theat- eflied to overflow its banks and the dam. The most serious damage, however, was to the roads and the Seaboard svstem.

But the chief reason the young man is able to go to Chapel Hill this week is because Frank Buchan some four years ago interested the boy in start ing an account in the Building and Loan Association in Southern Pines. When the time came to leave on Mon day for the University he had a check from the Building and Loan for over $400, and with it he had a savings account in the bank for $300 more, enough to give him a good start on the first two years of his college course.

HAWES’ KENNELS, i man’s arrangements in the telephone New Equipment. W Bernard Leavitt announces that he has sold to E. P. Freeman, the tele phone system at Aberdeen, and that Mr. Freeman will proceed .as fast as possible to rebuild the system and lace new equipment and materials to the end that the service will be on the best basis within reach of modem appliances and skill. The transfer of the property to the new owner will take place within the next ten days, and reconstruction will go forward as fast thereafter as ma terial can be secured and arrange ments made to carry on the work. This means a new and modem plant in Aberdeen. Following this Mr. Leavitt will use the money obtained from the sale to rebuild the system in Southern Pines and vicinity, and to place new cables, new switchboard, and everything that can be procured to make the Southern Pines plant as modem and efficient as possible. Metallic circuits will be extended on lines now not so equipped and under the new conditions South- em Pines folks and those of the vi cinity who are served by the S'outh- em Pines exchange can look for a service that will be in every way sat isfactory. T^jis job of rebuilding can not be done overnight, as the material has to be procured from the factories, and some of it has to be built to order, which takes time. Mr. Leavitt informs The Pilot tha*=-'^the-^ new switchboard has been ordered and the contract for it closed. Work will commence on it as soon as the factory can reach it in the regu lar order of con&iruction, and he ex pects it to be built and ready to in stall within a couple of months. Mean, time some cables that have been put under ground recently are now about ready to connect in, and they will be in service within a short time, de pending on how fast the connections can be made. The plans at Aberdeen will proba bly include a building suitable to house the plant for the days ahead, and which will be the last word in a housing project for a telephone plant. The service to out-of-town points will be all that can be asked as Mr. Free- made a growth of grass and pea vines and soy beans far above the average tonnage to the a^*re. But it is all crowding to be cut, and with the dense nature of the crop and the heavy stalks and abundance of fol iage on the ground dry days are necessary to convert it into hay suit able for the bam. Cotton is opening, but it can stand rain better than some of the crops, although too much rain and wind will beat it out on the ground. In the states to the South reports state cot ton has been considerably damaged by the storm, and that will have some effect on the market, althuogh no one knows how much. count in the Building and Loan Asso ciation sponsored the movement which brought a number of other boys and the station, and a better clearance to travel around those ben-is. area of the Central part of the State (Please tum to page 2) About the first of October Colonel | are said to be complete, giving an out- Up at the Carolina the whole front Q^orge F.

V v . The opening of the tobacco market at Aberdeen, as well as at every other place where the markets opened Tuesday, was not very hilarious. The rains kept most of the farmers at home as they did not care to haul their leaf out to the warehouse floors under such conditions as would offer a product too wet to handle, and in consequence the sales were scarcely more than enough to give an idea of what might be expected when a real market condition arrives. Prices ranged from around five cents for the five-cent quality of tobacco up to thirty cents for the better types, and when the grade that was displayed was considered, most of the farmers questioned as to their reaction to the market said' they thought the sales were satisfactory. • Possibly a more sanguine air pre vailed Tuesday than at the openings a year ago, for most of the farmers have realized that the crop this year is not fuMy up to that of a year ago m quality, and they have not looked approaches.

Mr. Warren, who last year made the ac quaintance of the tobacco folks, left a fine impression when the season closed last year, and he comes back this season to be welcomed by the people who deal with him, and that seems to be having a wholesome weight in the present market, while Mr .Saunders is jo well known to every one that getting to his ware house is like a new visit to grandpap. These two managers are an asset to Aberdeen. With the weather as it is it is not regarded as probable that big gales can be anticipated until the moisture in the air and in -Ae leaf have les sened. Yet both Warren and Satmd- ers are advising that the low grade stuff be cleaned out of the way as soon as possible, without bringing much in while it is too high in mois- for the early sales to bring a high ture content.

In one of the periodicals in its November number a blind collie from Mr. Terhune’s will be the outstanding character in the story. The blind dog shows un usual intelligence and marvelous skill in carrying on almost as well as dogs that can see do, and the tale will be of a fascinating type. Heading his kennel at Pinehurst, Colonel Hawes will have Sunnybank Lochinvar, a big dark sable collie. He is the offspring of Sunnybank Gray Dawn and Sunnybank Jean, and is ttms a double grandson of the famous Bruce, hero of many stories in the magazines. He is the father of many excellent puppies. The leading fe male in the kennels will be Sunny bank Dalwhinney, a pale gold color, and a descendant of the dog l^k heroes, Treve, Bmee and Lochinvar Ar'hur L.
