Page Two THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Vass, Carolina. Friday, October 12, 1928 Country Club Tract At Southern Pines Opens for Homesites Roads Cut Through Develop ment and Houses Begin to Spring Up. PLAN THIRD GOLF COURSE. The development around the South ern Pines Country Club promises to lead in magnitude and activity all similar projects in Southern Pines proper during the next few years. The laying out and opening up of roads through this large and beauti ful tract of land, with the handsome clubhouse in the foreground, is at tracting Northern visitors and pros pective settlers in the village, and al ready several lots have been sold for new homes. These and olher homes which will begin to spring up as the property is further developed will overlook the two golf courses of the club from high ridges, with native pines making land scaping unnecessary. The club now has one eighteen-hole course and an other nine-hole course, and plans are under way for another full eighteen- | hole course as soon as it is needed.; Development will continue as fast as j sites are sold to prospective purchas-1 ers, the club officials planning to put | duty who does not share the respon- back into the development fund all | sibility of voting. “The good citizen proceeds from sales for some time to j should vote.

Nichols of the Page Trust Company, Aberdeen, is preparing plans for a home on a site purchased recently. F. F. Travis of New York will build on one of the ridges not far from the charming new home of F. H. Robinson, which over looks the golf courses. There is marked activity abut the club already, though the roads through the develop ment are not yet completed, and be fore the winter is over many new homes will be in project. RACING CARS TO OPEN STATE FAIR WITH BANG. While it is generally conceded that the new mammoth North Carolina State Fair will open in Raleigh with a bang on October 22nd, opening day as well as closing day, will be ac companied by the roar of nearly a score of racing cars piloted by the greatest celebrities of American dirt tracks, who will be seen in competi tion in seven races on each day, under the direction and control of the Con test Board of the American Automo bile Association. ^rge purses have been the stimu lant to attract a large and represen tative field of entrants for the races over the new track, and the most bril liant array of talent ever seen out side of the Speedways will compete at Raleigh on the opening and clos ing days. red hair, or any other trivial thing, but duty should impell him to voto for the man he believes best repre sents the welfai*e of the country and the principles that underlie the sound management of the state and nation.” Mr. Page was vigorously applauded, as he deserved, for he is a good citi zen as well as a logical speaker. Importance of Jury Duty. U. L. Spence, candi«iate for the leg islature, followed Mr. Page. Mr. Spence explained that a good many of us are not the best citizens that we might be because we are careless in many things, and he cited the courts as an illustration. Too many folks try to avoid testifying in cases where differences between contestants in court are on trial. He thinks good citizens should undertake to put at the disposal of the courts all the in formation that will lead to reaching a just decision by the jury, and that men should not work sb hard to es cape jury service. However, he men tioned that once he was called to go to Pittsboro to testi:^ as a character witness and that he was kept so loni? under such conditions that he made up his mind that when trying cases in court in the future he would en deavor to get witneses through in faster fcime and with less annoyance. Mr. Spence also spoke of our general desire to dodge jury service, and pro tested that good citizens should help all they can toward making the jury AUTUMN TIME IS WEDDING TIME Silverware is the ideal gift for the Bride.

He was met with the same vigorous applause that was ac corded Mr. Page, and the discussion that followed among the members in dicates that Mr. Morton has picked a highly stimulating feature for his weekly programs. Morton said he did not want any politics to get into the talks, but it will not hurt anyone if Spence’s sound argument as to the citizen’s duty should warm up some of the folks to back him in his cam paign. LUMBER, BJIICK AND TILE IN ABUNDANCE IN SANDHILLS Building material is abundant in the neighborhood of the Sandhills vil lages. Lumber is a leading product of the county, brick and til« are made in several communities within short distance, building sand is loaded in trainloads around Aberdeen, West End, Pinehurst and elsewhere. Great varieties of building stone are com mon over the county, and some fine examples of stone construction can be seen in all the villages. The stone embraces the sedimentary red and gnay sandstones, the metamorphic slates, the volcanic rocks, pyrophyl- lite, breccias, conglomerate sand stones, schists, and some granite, al though the granite is not very acces sible. In colors, texture, hardness and other qualities the stone varies, and is adaptable for work of the fin est character. It is cheap as well as abundant, and can be had for unlim ited uses. This is the home original ly of the long leaf pine, and while the big forests of that timber are gone the short leaf pines are still found in great quantities, and this timber re produces itself so fast in the stand- stone belts of the county that not in many years will any shortage of lum ber be encountered. No. Carolina Sandhills Ideal Winter Resort (Continued From Page 1) the sandy soil, but in addition to its natural excellence expensive filter plants add extra precaution, and ’aily reports of the condition of the water are put into the hands of the State Board of Health for critical in- pection. The milk supply is grade A, under the inspection of the com- nunity and State authorities, and the farmers supply butter, eggs, vegeta bles, fruit, etc., of high quality. The country around the villages is of a hilly type, not steep, but just enough to be picturesque and afford interest ing drives on a splendid system of roads in all directions. Besides the State roads, of which three of the main lines enter Pinehurst and South- arn Pines, the county system permits access to all comers of the territory away from the State roads. The hill top views are fascinating. The valley drives are romantic, and the pine forests, green all winter, cover the ground here and there, some of them of large expanse, and more or le» of pine forest everywhere. Homes are built among the pines. In the vil lages the trees remain as they were years ago. The village chapel and the theater at Pinehurst stand amid 'he pines. Southern Pines has all over the town pine trees that are old er than any of the living inhabitants. This is a community of restfulness, of charm, of out-door sports, and of pleasing companionship. The type of citizenship is high, congenial, cordial and neighborly. given Smith by Charles E. Hughes and other leading Republicans of New York was cited. “There is no such thing as a Hoover-Democrat,” Mr. Page cried to accompaning cheers, “but those who are most abusing Governor Smith know the least about him.” In an swer to them he read the tribute paid Smith by Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, president of the University of Vir ginia. Hoover was termed a grea: engineer and public servant. He wa< discovered by Wilson. The value of his work as food administrator doe- not mean that he has the abilities to make a great President. He chal lenged Hoover to specify the men of his boasted leadership of the past eight years and to substantiate his claims of prosperity. Mr. Page denied a state of pros perity in the South but claimed mort gage borrowing on previously accum ulated prosperity has given the ap pearance of good times. The Repub lican party has always discriminated against the South. The Democratic party is the only truly national party,. Mr. Page said, and spoke of the strong ties between Northern and Southern Democrats. Real Estate SOUTHERN PINES, N. C. ti MRS. HAYES SHOPPE n ♦♦ SPECIALIZING IN L. P.
